Chapter 240 Groudon Aerial Logistics Company
Just then, the phone rang, and Genjiro quickly went to answer it.
It turned out to be a call from Nurse Joy from Okinoshima, coming from the Pokémon Center. After the two spoke, Genjiro immediately frowned.
"The medicine that Nurse Joy asked Pidgey to deliver this morning still hasn't arrived. The injured people at the Pokémon Center are in urgent need of medication—"
"Miss Joey had no other choice but to call and inquire about the situation. It seems that the Bobos are indeed in trouble."
O
Everyone quickly ran to Bobo's hut to check on the situation.
"There are several Bobo that left this morning and were supposed to be back by noon, but we haven't seen them yet." Xiao Du pointed to several empty nests, her face full of worry.
Something's not right.
He picked up his binoculars and looked at the distant sky, but unfortunately, Genjiro didn't spot any Popo.
"This has never happened before; we must investigate this matter immediately."
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Flying Rescue": Please use flight to investigate the reason for the disappearance of the Popos and find them!]
[Rewards: Alliance Coins +2000; Attack +1; Speed +1; "Flight" Trait Level +1]
Surprisingly, this is a rare mission that will increase flight attribute level.
After glancing at the distant sky, Ash immediately turned to Genjiro and the others and said.
"Leave this matter to us to investigate."
They immediately shook their heads upon hearing this.
"That won't do. You're guests after all."
But Xiaozhi's attitude was firm.
"Only I can find the missing Bobos the fastest."
With its waveguide sensing capabilities, Xiaozhi excels at finding living creatures.
"Bobos are also important business partners of mine in the future, so I can't just watch them get into trouble."
"Besides, the Pokémon Center is waiting for important medicine, so leave it to me."
These firm words were always so powerful and convincing. Although Genjiro was very anxious inside, he still chose to believe in Satoshi.
Xiao Du was still a little confused about "business partner?"
"I'll explain it to you later." Genjiro patted Wataru on the shoulder and handed Ash the map of the routes the Pidgeys often took.
"Then I'll leave everything to you, Xiao Zhi."
Poor Watari, he so desperately wanted to inherit his grandfather's flying house.
But now Grandpa's shop is going to be taken away by Xiaozhi, how sad.
Moreover, he brought the person here personally; I wonder what he will think after learning the situation.
Air Blade arrived at the rooftop of Pidgey's Flying House. Misty, looking at the clear sky, came to Ash's side with some confusion.
"Ash, the sky is so big, how are you going to track down the Pidgeys?"
"Don't worry, I was prepared."
Xiao Zhi just called those three guys.
Sure enough, to Xia's surprise, a hot air balloon shaped like a cat slowly floated in from the horizon—it was Kojiro and his friends.
"My God, how can Xiao Zhi boss order people around like this?"
They came at full speed, and Kojiro almost threw up from the cold wind the whole way.
"He just got a brain fart and called us over from so far away—"
"Yeah, meow."
Meow Meow, who was controlling the direction of the hot air balloon, also complained.
"We just left the Rockets headquarters not long ago, meow!"
They were just called in by the Rockets' Bichon to work day and night not long ago, and they haven't had a chance to rest yet.
Moreover, even though Ash could easily summon them instantly with a snap of his fingers, he insisted on having them fly a hot air balloon.
With both sides exploiting their subordinates so much, the trio suddenly felt their lives were miserable.
"I can hear you, don't complain to me!"
"How much salary do you think you're getting from me?!"
They really need a pay cut; they're just spouting empty promises and using the three-piece set of PUA tactics.
Startled by Ash's sudden appearance, Kojiro and his friends immediately put on fawning smiles.
"Oh, boss, you've misunderstood! It's our greatest honor to be ordered around by you!"
Instead of wasting time talking to these three, let them stay and continue discussing the acquisition with Genjiro in detail.
Ash immediately took Misty onto a hot air balloon and headed towards the route the Pidgeys usually took to search for them.
Once in the sky, Ash released Charizard and Noctowl, among other flying Pokémon, to scatter and help him find Pidgey.
He himself jumped out of the hot air balloon and used his flying ability to search for Bobo's whereabouts in the air.
The hot air balloon, controlled by Misty, followed behind Ash so that he and his Pokémon could rest whenever they wanted.
They had barely started when the night owl flew back immediately.
"You've found a clue so quickly?" Ash's aura sensor had just been activated, and he hadn't found anything yet.
"Coo, coo!" The night owl gestured for him to hurry up and follow.
In fact, Ash's Noctowl has more sensitive senses than a regular Noctowl, and is more adept at using psychic powers and hypnosis.
The range that can be sensed by ultrasonic positioning is even several times larger than that of Xiaozhi's waveguide sensing.
It was indeed exceptionally gifted at finding things, and soon spotted a Boobo in the distance.
Meanwhile, in the sky some distance away, a hot air balloon similar in shape to Kojiro's, but with a pot-shaped balloon on top, was hiding in several thick clouds.
"A bumper harvest! A bumper harvest!"
"We didn't expect to encounter such good fortune so soon after we decided to go out on this mission."
The large bag beneath the hot air balloon was bulging, and Kosaburo's expression grew even brighter with each increase in his harvest.
Today is truly their lucky day; just by staying here, prey keeps arriving at their doorstep.
Moreover, these Bobos all carried some small items with them, and they even found several precious necklaces among them.
Not only can you catch Pokémon, but you can also earn extra money.
"What a wonderful feeling!"
They were tricked so badly by Bishas before, but now their luck has finally turned around.
When Rabi's Entrance collapsed, Ash forgot about them and they fell down along with the Entrance's remains.
I almost thought my life was going to end here.
But unexpectedly, they landed right in the Lake of Life.
The lake water's healing properties cured both of their injuries, saving their lives.
Moreover, despite their failed mission to capture Rabi, they were not only not punished by Giovanni, but unexpectedly received a bonus.
After they disguised themselves and slipped back into town from the maple forest, they rushed back to the Rockets headquarters immediately.
He embellished the story, describing how arrogant and impulsive that idiot Bishas was, and how he didn't respect Boss Giovanni after capturing Celebi.
Then, with a calm expression, Giovanni used the information reported by Amado and Kosaburo to order the confiscation of all the assets left by Bishas.
Although Bishas and his direct troops were wiped out by the Alliance this time, resulting in a failed mission and a huge financial loss, Boss Sakaki successfully recovered Bishas's forces, who had previously been obedient but disobedient.
Even the multiple Team Rocket branches that Bishas had painstakingly infiltrated and established in the Unova region were brought under Giovanni's control.
When the profits were finally tallied, Boss Sakaki was surprised to find that he had actually made a profit.
Not only did the organization lose a major threat who always challenged its authority, but it also fully recovered the strength it had lost due to the loss of its master in the Kanto region.
The morale of his subordinates instantly stabilized, and now even the rewards they give out are much more generous.
After several months, Yamato and Kosaburo received their bonuses from Boss Sakaki again after a long absence.
But when they went to collect it, they were met with Sakaki's smirking expression, and the two of them were immediately terrified.
Countless thoughts flashed through my mind.
"Could it be that Boss Sakaki has discovered we were lying?"
After all, he deliberately let Kojiro and the others escape, manipulated the information about Satoshi in Bishas, and later even planned to abandon his leader and run away.
In truth, they do seem to bear a significant responsibility.
The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became.
Of course, Yamato and Kosaburo were overthinking it. The reason Sakaki acted that way was simply because he wanted to burst out laughing and was already starting to lose control.
Maintaining his authority as the boss in daily life is no easy feat for him.
After nervously collecting their prize money, the two quickly fled the Rockets headquarters.
They were determined to produce results before Boss Sakaki fired them.
But after thinking it over, it seems that the only task Boss Giovanni has given them right now is to cause trouble for Satoshi.
They immediately made the decision to set off.
In fact, the two of them had already realized that Ash seemed to never kill them.
In the past, they were all either shot down or handed over to Officer Jenny and put in prison.
Since there's no danger to my life, and I can prove to the organization that I'm carrying out the mission diligently and not slacking off, why not?
The two immediately and happily decided to go and cause trouble for Ash.
However, because it had been so long since he had tracked Ash, his skills had become rusty, and he drifted in the air for a long time without finding his target.
I thought I would get nothing and was prepared to cause trouble for some small evil organizations to report back.
Unexpectedly, a large group of Bobo suddenly flew over carrying gifts.
"This is simply a gift from heaven!"
"That's right, three times!" Amazon happily counted his gains, grinning from ear to ear.
"It's Kosaburo!"
"It was definitely the right decision to not use the prize money to pay off debts, but instead to buy the latest sturdy bags and a high-powered vacuum cleaner!"
At this moment, Kosaburo spotted several new Popo flying in from a distance.
"Activate, Big Bird Spinning Around to Capture Number One!"
After their modifications, the vacuum cleaner and bag were perfectly combined, and Kosaburo deftly pressed the button on the remote control.
A thick vacuum cleaner pipe immediately rose from the hot air balloon, its head pointing towards several bobs flying in the distance, and it sucked them up violently.
Before they could even react, the Bobos were sucked one by one into the pipe by the powerful suction, and smoothly entered the large bag below the hot air balloon.
"Five more! What a great harvest!"
"Maybe this time we can pay off all our debts in one go!"
"It's very possible!" Yamado suddenly felt that a bright future awaited them.
While the two of them were having a good time, they didn't notice that the powerful suction of the vacuum cleaner had forcibly sucked a muscular man from a distance.
"Oh my god, what the hell?" Ash was completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
He was just following behind Night Hawk, diligently searching for Popo in the vicinity.
We could already see a Bobo from afar.
But once he got close, he couldn't find it anymore. Ash was still wondering when he was suddenly pulled by some unknown force.
It almost sucked the Pikachu off his shoulder. Ash quickly pulled the Pikachu back, and then the suction force locked onto him.
Moreover, its strength was immense; even when Noctowl tried to pull Ash back with its claws, it couldn't catch up.
Because there was no foothold in the air, the unprepared Xiaozhi suddenly lost his balance.
He was actually dragged by the vacuum cleaner towards the location of Amado and the others.
"Oh, this feeling...maybe another Bobo's been sucked in!"
Amazon became excited as he felt the vacuum cleaner moving in his hand.
But Kosaburo, who seemed to vaguely see a familiar figure, suddenly changed his expression.
"Stop right there, Amazon! That looks like—"
At this moment, Yamato finally looked up and saw Ash flying in from afar with his head full of '#' symbols and his face full of rage.
"You two bastards really are you!"
"Ah, the demons are here!" They are looking for Ash, that's true, but not right now.
The two were immediately terrified and panicked, trying to escape in the hot air balloon.
But he forgot to turn off the vacuum cleaner, and Xiao Zhi ended up being sucked to the top of the machine's nozzle.
He grabbed the vacuum cleaner hose and forcibly pulled Yamado and the others back to his side.
Just then, Noctowl arrived carrying Pikachu.
"Nocturnal Loboom Psychic, Pikachu Thunderbolt!"
"Gurgle!"
"Pikachu!"
Blue telekinesis instantly lifted Yamato and Kosaburo out of the hot air balloon and into the air.
Then Pikachu immediately leaped off Noctowl's back and unleashed a Thunderbolt attack on them.
After the explosion, they once again turned into shooting stars in the sky.
"Ugh, what a horrible feeling!" x2

After knocking the two Team Rockets away, Ash quickly released the Pidgeys he had captured.
Organize their items so that the Bobos that haven't finished can continue their delivery tasks.
Bobo, who had already completed his task, rode back to the flying house in the hot air balloon that Xiaoxia had brought.
Ash was very satisfied as he watched the Pidgeys fly off to continue delivering goods.
"Perfect professionalism."
Later, back at the flying house, Genjiro also came to inform Ash that the Pokémon Center on Okinojima Island had received the urgently needed medicine.
"Boss, what should we name the newly established air logistics company?"
Kojiro and the others have already reached an agreement with Genjiro.
Once the dormitories prepared for Pidgeotto and Pidgeot are built, the Pidgeys will begin to evolve, and then the aerial logistics company can start operating.
There's absolutely no need to worry about business; the logistics company's current capacity and the group's internal orders are already sufficient to cover it.
"Let's call it Groudon Aerial Logistics," Ash decided immediately.
Upon hearing this, Kojiro exclaimed in surprise, "Boss, Groudon can't fly, can it?"
"Sigh, I just love Groudon."
"Groudon's color is red, and the Red Group is also red, how perfect!"
Since the other party is the boss, the company can be called whatever it wants, so Kojiro and the others had no choice but to agree.
Anyway, after today, Groudon Aerial Logistics Company will be officially established.
