Chapter 1421 The Two Heroes of Java

The incident involving the Rock Wall Treasure Master also served as a wake-up call for Xia Yu. If all the champions in the Secret Realm were to gather together, the Rocket Team and the Chinese champions alone would not be able to deal with them!

The only way is to divide and conquer them. Furthermore, we can no longer allow these champions to continue exploring the Padiya Mystic Realm. At present, the loss of only one Rock Wall Treasure Master, the Hairy Crab, is still within an acceptable range.

If they continue their search and find other Pokémon, discovering the Secret: Seasoning or even the secrets of Sector Zero, it would be a huge loss.

We can't delay any longer, lest things get complicated.

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Xia Yu's eyes, followed by a resolute expression on his face.

It's time to close the net.

Xia Yu's face showed a thoughtful expression, his fingers rhythmically stroking gently.

Because it involves a large number of champions and has a significant impact, the resistance it will encounter will certainly be beyond imagination. Therefore, we must not act blindly this time.

We can only proceed from weak to strong, gradually building our strength, starting with the champions of those smaller countries.

Xia Yu's face showed a thoughtful expression. The first step in closing the net was to eliminate the small fry.

Although the champions from these small countries are not much of a threat on their own, when they come together with Elijah and others, they are a force to be reckoned with.

This matter must be handled cleanly and efficiently, avoiding Elijah and his group as much as possible, so as not to alert them.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu acted immediately without delay, taking out his phone to send messages to all Team Rocket members.

"Get ready to move!"

All members of Team Rocket were energized upon receiving Xia Yu's message.

Jiang Yu, who was sitting in a chair playing with his phone, stood up and stretched after seeing Xia Yu's message. A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and an excited look appeared on his face.

“Finally, we can get started. If we stay any longer, my body will rust.” Jiang Yu said as he draped the fiery robe hanging behind the door over his shoulders. Then he walked to the mirror, took out the Hellfire Mask that symbolized his identity, and put it on his face properly. “Pipe, let’s change our clothes and masks and get ready to go.”

"Hmm." Gao Yanxin nodded, slowly putting on a dark red robe and a mask, then took out a pipe made of gold and held it in his hand.

"Old Gao, when did you buy this pipe? I've never seen you use it before." Jiang Yu quickly took off his mask and looked at the pure gold pipe in Gao Yanxin's hand with amazement.

"I had it custom-made privately," Gao Yanxin said calmly. "I had it custom-made after I confirmed that my code name was 'pipe'."

"The word 'pipe' is not just a symbol of my status, but also a symbol of changing my destiny." Gao Yanxin stroked the golden pipe in his hand and said in a deep voice, "It's a commemoration of my fate."

If he hadn't met Xia Yu and joined Team Rocket, he might have died long ago, perhaps during a poaching operation.

His mother and sister would not enjoy the comfortable life they have now.

A horse can travel a thousand miles, but it cannot go there on its own without a rider.

A person may have lofty ambitions, but without good fortune, they cannot achieve their goals.

There are many people more capable than Gao Yanxin; his success today is all thanks to one word: "luck."

It's all about timing, fate, and destiny.

"Aren't you a detective? You believe in fate?" Jiang Yu asked with a smile. "But your pipe is really cool, and the craftsmanship is excellent. Should I get a gold skull one too, to match my identity tonight?"

"I'll have someone make one for you and send it back to you," Gao Yanxin replied.

"That's great." Jiang Yu replied with a smile, then said seriously, "By the way, we've also invited Wu Muyang to join Team Rocket for this operation. The boss's idea is to let him join Team Rocket and take this opportunity to gain experience. He doesn't need to fight; he can just follow us."

"I'll go and call him." Gao Yanxin nodded upon hearing this.

…………

After receiving Xia Yu's message, the members of Team Rocket were eager to get started and formed teams to carry out their plans.

After the first round of hunting, the members of Team Rocket have been lying in wait until now. After waiting for so long, it's finally their turn to make their move.

"Proceed according to plan, split into groups, deal with the lone champions first, and don't provoke Elijah and the others for now."

"Take care of these small fry first, then we'll join forces to deal with them later."

…………

"This secret realm is definitely a top-tier secret realm, rich in resources, with a wide variety of Pokémon and amazing strength. Even the pseudo-legendary level Crab has appeared."

"It's a pity that this secret realm is located on Wanli Shitang Island, which is Chinese territory."

The two champions walked together and whispered to each other.

"You should be glad that this secret realm appeared in China. If it had appeared near the United States, we wouldn't even have the qualifications to enter it, and we would never have been able to reap such a rich reward."

The two champions speaking were from Java: Ariel, the Dark-type champion, and Kadeer, the Fire-type champion.

Ariel is the most popular champion in Java and is known as the "King of Java" in the country.

Countless Javanese regard him as Java's "Duan Hongzhi".

Ariel is only in his forties, which is considered young among global champions, but his strength is unfathomable. He is among the top champions in Java and Southeast Asia.

At the same time, Ariel's champion style is tough, ranking among the best not only in Southeast Asia, but also holding his own against champions from China and the United States.

Unlike other champions whose fame is based on hype, Ariel's success is backed by solid achievements.

He has faced champions from other Southeast Asian countries several times over the past decade and has never lost.

Such a perfect record naturally attracted the attention of China.

…………

The elderly man standing next to Ariel is Kadeer, the Javanese fire-type champion who is over sixty years old.

If Ariel is the new "King of Java," then the aging Khadiq is the previous "King of Java."

Java was able to secure a place among the countries of Southeast Asia thanks to Qadeer.

Fire-type champion Kadeke is known for his tough style and fiery personality. Whenever Java's interests are involved, he will not give an inch and has a very fiery temper.

The two have similar personalities and share the same stance, which is why they have an excellent relationship.

“The richer the resources in this secret realm, the harder it will be for China to protect it. Of course, the more opportunities it will leave for us.” Champion Kadeke said in a deep voice, “We shouldn’t even think about Pokémon like Crabcrab. We just hope to catch a few more Master-level Pokémon and have a better chance for the future.”

“Speaking of which…” Kadeke paused slightly, as if suddenly remembering something, and said in a deep voice, “I always feel that there is something strange about this secret realm.”

“We’ve been in this secret realm for a while now, but we haven’t encountered any of the champions from the first batch of people who entered the secret realm.”

"There's definitely something wrong here."

I was on duty yesterday, and went to my hometown last night. I wrote a chapter today and set it to be posted at midnight. I wish everyone a Happy New Year.
