Chapter 1157 7 Champions

There were about twenty people sitting in the spacious and bright conference room, all dressed in formal attire and with serious expressions.

Xia Yu took a look, his eyes slightly stern.

North China champion Duan Hongzhi, Northeast China champion Li Ruilin, East China champion Long Fan, Southwest China champion Lu Tinghe, Central China champion Mi Ye, Northwest China champion Zuo Qi and the new South China champion Jian Yi were all present!

All seven champions were present, obviously something big was happening!

In addition to these seven champions, more than half of the senior executives of the China Pokémon Association headquarters were also present, including Vice President Yue Zhi, Vice President Wei Chuan, Vice President Fang Zhengting, Vice President Shen Weihong, and Vice President Song Wenxin.

The president of the Pokémon Association has now retired to the second line and the position is temporarily vacant. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be taken over by Northeast champion Li Ruilin.

There are also the former captain of the Phantom Special Operations Team, Qin Lao, the current captain, Lin Jun, the chief captain of the Charizard Special Operations Team, Feng Kuangyin, and the chief captain of the Gyarados Special Operations Team, Shi Chaoyi!

Well, maybe some readers will ask at this time?

Why the chief captain of the Earth Dragon (Desert Dragonfly) Special Operations Team did not come? It is because the current chief captain of the Earth Dragon Special Operations Team is concurrently serving as the Northeast Champion Li Ruilin.

It has to be said that Li Ruilin is the busiest of all the champions. In addition to being the Northeast Champion, he also holds many other positions, large and small.

In addition to these people, there are also some senior officials of the China Pokémon Association and Xu Shanhe, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of North China and a close confidant of Duan Hongzhi.

"Come, sit next to me, Xia Yu." Li Ruilin waved at Xia Yu with a smile on his face, motioning Xia Yu to sit next to him. Then he turned around and continued to speak to the crowd, "Regarding the cooperation with Shan, Java and other countries to develop and build the secret realm, my idea is to let Yue Zhi go in person."

"Yes." Duan Hongzhi also nodded solemnly, and cast his eyes on Yue Zhi, and said solemnly: "I agree. Those places are not peaceful. The reason why they came to us for cooperation is because of the divine coffin. Therefore, the people sent there must not only have a sense of the overall situation, but also have strong strength, at least to be able to survive the attack of the divine coffin."

"I agree too."

"I agree."

…………

Several champions present and senior officials of the China Pokémon Association expressed their opinions.

Yue Zhi was a middle-aged man in his fifties, tall, with thick eyebrows and large eyes. His face was square, his temples frosted with snow, and his forehead was deeply wrinkled. He sat there, like an unshakable rock on a hill. His features alone gave off an impression of maturity, stability, and reliability.

"Okay, I'll go." Yue Zhi's voice was loud and clear, his eyes flickering like bright flames in the dark night, deep and clear, as if seeing through fire, with a sharp edge that could not be deceived.

"Then this matter is settled. Yue Zhi will go." Duan Hongzhi nodded and continued, "What's the next thing?"

"Regarding the recommendation for the new president of the Pokémon Association," the staff member sitting in the back row responded.

"Let's talk about Xia Yu first. After talking about Xia Yu, we can talk about the president of the Pokémon Association." Duan Hongzhi said, then he turned his head and looked at Xia Yu and said, "Xia Yu, everyone present has seen the information about your identity as Sakaki and the situation of Team Rocket. Some people already knew it in advance, but some people just found out. You should just talk about it briefly."

"Okay..." Xia Yu nodded, took out the manuscript paper he had prepared long ago, and said to everyone: "Dear champions and vice presidents, about seven years ago, during an unexpected expedition, I encountered the then-God Coffin-12, the God Coffin that used Articuno and was captured alive by us some time ago."

"Originally, I was not strong enough to deal with him, but I met a Pokémon that helped me." Xia Yu paused for a moment before looking at everyone and continuing, "That Pokémon is Sakaki's signature Pokémon, the Iron Warrior. This is also the reason why I founded Team Rocket."

"Iron Warrior is a completely new Pokémon that has never been seen before. I have no way to explain its origin, and I can't use it either. Therefore, I can only use the fictitious identity of Sakaki to carry out activities."

"After this……"

Xia Yu recounted his experience of becoming Sakaki, hiding almost nothing. Apart from the system and some experiences about the mythical beast, he told everything at once.

"As for the identities of the other members of Team Rocket, they have all joined the Phantom Special Operations Team. For the sake of confidentiality, I will not introduce them one by one, but Captain Lin Jun, Duan Guanjun, and Li Guanjun all know their information."

Almost at the moment Xia Yu finished speaking, Zuo Qi, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly spoke up, looked at Xia Yu and said, "Xia Yu, I have a question."

"Guanjun Zuo, you ask." Xia Yu took a deep breath, turned his gaze to Zuo Qi, and answered.

"Have you used Sakaki's identity to engage in illegal and criminal activities to seek personal gain?" Zuo Qi looked at Xia Yu, his eyes wide as copper bells, veins bulging on his forehead, giving people a huge sense of oppression.

"Yes." Xia Yu responded, "But I did all these things abroad and never attacked my own people. The personal gains I sought were either snatched from battles with the Four Heavenly Kings and Champions of other countries, or from battles with the Divine Coffin."

"Like the Pokémon Deoxys I just mentioned, it was originally the Pokémon of the God's Coffin, but now it's my Pokémon." Xia Yu said this, and set his eyes on Zuo Qi, and continued: "In addition, six years ago, I informed Duan Guanjun and Li Guanjun, as well as some of the Pokémon Association's senior executives of Sakaki's identity. Sakaki's identity will make it easier for me to go abroad to deal with some difficult matters."

"Hmm." Zuo Qi stroked his beard with his rough palm and nodded slightly: "I don't think identity is important. I judge by deeds rather than by heart. Most of those who are loyal are butchers, and most of those who are unfaithful are scholars."

"Xia Yu, don't be nervous. We are not here to blame you. What you did as Sakaki is reasonable and has made outstanding contributions to China. You did a great job!" Zuo Qi said this with a hearty smile on his rough face. He joked with Xia Yu: "Besides, your current strength should be above us old guys. I would like to spar with you someday."

"Ahem." Li Ruilin coughed lightly and brought the topic back to the topic. "Everyone, Duan Guanjun and I have long known about Xia Yubanmu's identity. At the same time, some of his actions, such as killing Wang Maochun, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Sakura Country, were also instructed by us. Now that his identity has been revealed, we naturally have to do our best to help him clear his name."

"Xia Yu...don't worry, since you have made contributions to China, we will naturally stand behind you and support you!"

Li Ruilin looked at Xia Yu with a serious and earnest expression: "Xia Yu, the topic we are discussing today is not actually your identity as Sakaki, but whether you are qualified to be the champion."
