Chapter 277 Roger's Death

The Charizard Task Force, Team Zero, is undoubtedly a big step forward for Pokémon on the road to change.

From the rights of Team Zero and the fact that it only recruits young people aged 18-22, we can see how high hopes the Pokémon Association has placed on Team Zero.

This also led to everyone wanting to join Team Zero and become its official member.

"Every official member of Team Zero must have the strength of a gym leader. After all, if you want to investigate gym leaders and some Elite-level trainers, you must have some means to protect your life."

"Of course, the team members' initial investigation did not include the Four Heavenly Kings and the Champion. With your current strength, you are not qualified."

After listening to Long Fan's introduction, Xia Yu also developed a strong interest in Team Zero. Joining such a powerful department can be said to be a hundred benefits for him with no harm.

"You just need to know about this matter, and don't spread it to others." After Long Fan finished talking about Team Zero, he also reminded: "The establishment of Team Zero has not been announced yet, so you should also keep it confidential."

"Yeah." Xia Yu nodded.

"By the way, you have already met the captain of Team Zero, Feng Kuangyin. He is the captain of the Charizard Special Operations Team and also the captain of Team Zero." Long Fan also mentioned Feng Kuangyin at this time: "Captain Feng, his strength is very strong, much stronger than the four heavenly kings. He can be ranked as the first or second among the four heavenly kings. He is also a strong candidate to challenge the next championship."

At this time, Lu Tinghe, who was standing aside, suddenly interrupted and said, "Feng Kuangyin, you can trust him. The personal relationship between me, Duan Hongzhi and Feng Kuangyin has always been good. We are considered to be family. Duan Hongzhi and Feng Kuangyin are both impartial and fair. They don't tolerate any sand in their eyes. You can ask Feng Kuangyin for help in official matters, but don't ask him for personal matters."

"Just now in the conference room, Old Duan didn't mean to target you or embarrass you." Lu Tinghe also spoke for Duan Hongzhi at this time: "He is a person of such character, with a sense of justice in his heart. Although his words are a bit harsh, he is not a bad person."

"I understand." Xia Yu also nodded. He suddenly realized that the water in Team Zero was deeper than he had imagined.

Each of the seven champions has three recommendation places, so it is likely that the ten people who will be determined to remain after passing the assessment will also have one place each for the seven champions, and the remaining three will be recommended by the Pokémon Association, thus maintaining a balance on the surface.

The relationships among the seven champions are also different. Some have good relationships, while others have tense ones. For example, Xia Yu took up Lu Tinghe's recommendation quota, so whether Xia Yu is willing or not, he, Long Fan, and Lu Tinghe are naturally divided into the same faction.

Since he has enjoyed the benefits brought by Long Fan, Lu Tinghe and others, he must also bear certain responsibilities and obligations, which is inevitable.

Then in the ten-man Team Zero, Lu Tinghe’s allies naturally became his friends, and Lu Tinghe’s enemies naturally became his enemies.

"Speaking of Captain Feng, you went to the Tiandu Plateau wilderness area for training some time ago and should have met Roger. Do you still remember?" Lu Tinghe suddenly changed the subject and brought the conversation to Roger.

When Xia Yu heard Lu Tinghe's words, his heart sank. Speaking of the Tiandu Plateau Wilderness Area, he immediately thought of Xie Tianming and Gao Yanxin, whom he had planted in the poaching organization.

Recently, Xie Tianming suddenly lost contact with him and there has been no news from him for a long time.

This made Xia Yu feel that something was wrong. He really wanted to go to the wilderness area to see what happened, but because the High School Cup couldn't go away and there was no suitable reason, he didn't go to the wilderness area until now.

Could it be that Gao Yanxin’s affair has been exposed?

Xia Yu shook his head. This was not a big deal, and judging from Lu Tinghe's reaction, he was not talking about this matter.

"I know, what's wrong?" Xia Yu kept a calm face and asked calmly.

"Roger is dead." Lu Tinghe's voice was gloomy.

"What?" Xia Yu's face was filled with shock, his eyes revealing disbelief.

Roger is dead?Roger is dead?How did Roger die?

Roger had several king-level Pokémon, but they died.

"How did Captain Roger die?" Xia Yu couldn't help but ask, "Who could have killed him?"

Speaking of Captain Roger's death, Long Fan and Lu Tinghe's faces were filled with gloom. "Some time ago, Captain Roger disappeared after encountering poachers during a patrol. His whereabouts are unknown. Only another patrol member who was with him returned to the patrol team to report the news and survived."

"Roger's disappearance is a big deal. We searched for a long time but couldn't find any trace of Roger."

"Later, we received an anonymous video report that clearly recorded the process of Roger's death, in which he was shot. The reporter also sent the murderer's information, and the murderer was Kong Yixuan, the vice president of the Shuguang Society."

Xia Yu couldn't believe his ears when he heard this: "How dare Shuguang kill Captain Roger?"

"This is the first time such a situation has occurred. We did not expect the Dawn Society to be so bold. Now this matter is only circulated among the top leaders of the association, which has further strengthened the association's determination to crack down on underground organizations such as the Dawn Society."

"You just need to know about this. The top leaders of the association have decided to take action against the Dawn Society." When Lu Tinghe said this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Roger's death, and his tone became stern: "The Dawn Society will pay the price, and the blood debt must be repaid with blood. The current Dawn Society is too arrogant."

…………

Roger's death made the three of them silent. It was not until a moment later that Long Fan spoke up and talked about the last thing: "Let's talk about the last thing. Xia Yu, do you still plan to continue to participate in the national finals?"

"Of course." Xia Yu responded. Isn't this nonsense? Of course he still has to continue to participate in the next national competition. His mission reward is related to the final ranking.

Moreover, he even announced his mega evolution in advance. Was it just to win a provincial championship?

"With your strength and mega evolution, it shouldn't be a big problem for you to win the championship." Long Fan also said at this time: "But you still have to work hard. The Pokémon Association has not yet decided on this year's championship reward. It is said that this year's reward is very good. I will tell you when I know the exact news."

"Thank you, Master." Xia Yu said with a smile.

"Okay, you go first. I'll chat with Lao Lu for a while."

"it is good."

…………

Xia Yu slipped out of the office and walked unconsciously towards Teacher Long's dormitory.

Now that I'm here, I naturally have to go see Teacher Long.

Thinking of Teacher Long, Xia Yu's heart was filled with emotion and he walked as fast as a rocket.
