I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

“This… is very dangerous. I suggest you don’t follow,” Daigo said.

"If you don't let me come along, I'll go to the Great Violet Company and cause a scene myself," Xijiana said defiantly.

Daigo was also having a headache. He already knew Higana's identity. She had never lived in modern society and didn't know the stakes involved. She was capable of doing anything.

Daigo immediately looked to Shigeru for help, hoping that Shigeru could think of a way to persuade Higanbana.

“I can’t dissuade Higana either. Once she’s made up her mind, she’ll do it. I suggest you take her with you. She’s quite obedient during missions, and she has some special abilities related to dragons. She might be able to help,” Xiao Mao said.

Hearing this, Daigo was quite curious and agreed, "Alright, Shigeru, you can come along too."

"Okay!"

Before Xiao Mao could speak, Xi Jiana agreed.

Shigeru was hoping to leave Higanbana to Daigo, but he ended up getting himself involved instead.

However, since we promised Grandma Higana that we would take her to the Sky Pillar, we might as well go all the way.

“Okay, Mr. Daigo, what should we do next?” Shigeru asked.

Blue knew absolutely nothing about the Great Violet Company, only that it was an energy company that provided energy to major cities in the Hoenn region.

Devon also has an energy business. Both are large companies in the same region and should know each other very well. As far as Xiaomao knows, these two companies have always been competitors.

Previously, they were evenly matched, but nowadays, people care more about the environment on Earth and have begun to study environmentally friendly energy. With the upgrading of energy, Big Aster Company has begun to show signs of fatigue.

"Come with me to Kanaz City!" Daigo said, then took out his phone to call someone.

Shigeru glanced at the phone in Daigo's hand; it was much more advanced than his own, and it looked like it had an LCD screen.

"Come on, let's go out."

Daigo, along with Gary and Higanbana, left the center of the universe.

The center of the universe has been temporarily sealed off, and the seal will be lifted after a thorough search.

Upon arriving at the plaza outside the center of the universe, a helicopter was already parked outside. It was a black helicopter with a very cool appearance.

"What's this!"

Upon seeing the helicopter, Higana was immediately startled. She often saw airplanes flying overhead, but this was the first time she had ever seen a helicopter.

"This is a helicopter, which is also a type of airplane, but it can't carry as many people as an airplane," Xiao Mao explained.

Because she has never been exposed to modern human society, Xijiana sometimes acts like a two- or three-year-old child, asking questions about things she has never seen before, just like asking a hundred thousand whys.

"Come on up!" Daigo was the first to board the helicopter.

Shigeru and Higanbana boarded the helicopter one after the other, fastened their seatbelts, and the helicopter took off, flying straight west towards the Hoenn region, where Kanatsu City is located.

...!

The helicopter flew west and didn't arrive in Kanaz until 3 p.m.

Daigo did not take Shigeru and Higanbana to the Devon Building, but instead went directly to a research base around the West Blue.

This research base is located in the suburbs, near the sea. It is an energy research institute. Because energy is a dangerous thing, it could explode if not handled properly, so it definitely needs to be built far away.

With Daigo leading the way, the journey was smooth and they entered a control room within the research base. The control room was filled with high-precision instruments, and many researchers in white coats were busy at work.

"Dr. Brock, how's the search going?" Daigo asked Dr. Brock as he entered the control room.

“We haven’t detected any data on infinite energy yet, but I can guarantee that we will be able to detect it as soon as they test it,” Dr. Brock assured.

"Then let's work overtime today. Thanks for your hard work," Daigo said.

"no problem."

Brock went back to doing his own thing.

Looking at the busy crowd in the control room, Xijiana wanted to help, but she couldn't understand anything on the screen; it was like reading gibberish.

"Daigo, what is this infinite energy you just mentioned?" Shigeru suddenly asked.

Just now, when Daigo and Professor Brock were talking, they revealed the existence of infinite energy, which is related to Rayquaza.

402: Devon Energy Institute

“Infinite energy is a newly discovered energy source in recent years. This energy was found in meteorites. It is not only environmentally friendly and pollution-free, but also provides a huge amount of energy. However, the problem of converting meteorite energy into infinite energy has not yet been solved,” Daigo explained.

"What does this have to do with the Big Purple Company?" Xiao Mao asked.

“The Great Violet Corporation is an energy development company. They used to use traditional energy, but with the development of the times, traditional energy will eventually be phased out, so they need to transform. Infinite Energy is the Great Violet Corporation’s hope for transformation. Their theft of Higana’s meteorite must be related to Infinite Energy,” Daigo said.

“That meteorite was given to Rift Dweller by the Meteor People. It’s so small, it can’t solve any problems, can it?” Xiao Mao said.

“Who knows? The Meteor People have always been very mysterious, and we don’t know much about meteorites either,” Daigo said.

"Higana, do you know what meteorites are used for?" Shigeru asked Higana.

“I don’t know either. I was just following my grandmother’s instructions to deliver the meteorite to Lord Dragon God,” said Higana.

Sigh!

Xijiana knew nothing about the matter; could she really become a qualified successor?

"Daigo, is there anything to eat? Higanbana and I haven't eaten anything yet," Shigeru said.

We can't find their whereabouts for the time being, but we still need to eat. If we're not enthusiastic about eating, there's something wrong with our thinking.

“You’ve forgotten that. I’ll take you to the cafeteria,” Daigo said.

Because the research base is far from the city, there is a canteen inside, and someone delivers food to it every day.

Xiao Mao and Xi Jiana barely ate anything in the morning. They played in the center of the universe until almost noon before realizing that the meteorite was missing. After that, they were busy searching for the meteorite. They haven't eaten or drunk anything since then, let alone eaten.

But young people are just like that. Even when faced with such a big event, their appetite is not affected at all. They eat and drink as usual. Moreover, the food in the cafeteria here is quite good. The ingredients are all high-end. No wonder it is a big company. The employees are treated really well.

"Daigo-san, is there a teleportation machine here?" Shigeru asked.

“Of course I have it. If you need it, I’ll have someone take you there,” Daigo said.

Shigeru wasn't sure what the next steps would be, but the Grand Violet Company was similar to Devon Corporation; even without champion-level trainers, they could hire powerful trainers for a fee.

Xiao Mao needs to increase his own strength.

"Then take me there."

Daigo immediately ordered someone to take Shigeru to the teleporter.

Shigeru immediately dialed the number for Oki's lab.

The call connected, and Xiao Jian's face appeared on the screen.

"Xiao Mao!!"

Ken was also surprised to see Shigeru, because Shigeru had rarely used the Teleporter to make phone calls since he went to the Hoenn region.

"It's Xiao Jian! Long time no see. How have you been lately?" Xiao Mao asked.

"It's alright. I've learned a lot from Professor Oak. By the way, Gary, what Pokémon do you need to transfer?"

Since they called using a teleporter, it must be to teleport the spirit.

"I'm planning to teleport my Pokémon back, and while I'm at it, could you also teleport the Legendary Birds, Blastoise, Charizard, and Tyranitar to me?" Gary said.

"Ah! What are you doing?!"

Xiao Jian was shocked.

The Pokémon that Xiao Mao wanted were all the strongest Pokémon he had. This team of Pokémon alone was enough to challenge the League Champion.

"Just hurry up and teleport it to me," Xiao Mao said.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go put all those Pokémon into their Poké Balls." Xiao Jian said and ran off to catch the Pokémon.

Because of Team Rocket's attack on Professor Oak's lab last time, Gary's Pokémon are all free-roaming outside. Professor Oak's lab has a large backyard, so it will take some effort for Brock to collect all the Pokémon that Gary specifically requested.

Shigeru wasn't idle either. He released the Pokémon he was going to teleport back to, gave them a proper explanation, and told them to stay at Professor Oak's lab for the time being, and then teleport them back after he finished dealing with things here.

After Xiao Jian finished dealing with things, Xiao Mao teleported over with 8 Pokémon, leaving only Eevee, Giganotosaurus, Latios, and Majestic Fang with him.

Xiao Jian also teleported over all six Pokémon that Xiao Mao wanted.

Xiao Mao also took the opportunity to check the current levels of his six old buddies.

Blastoise LV72!

Charizard LV67!

Tyranitar LV70!

Zapdos LV70!

Articuno LV61

Moltres LV59!

The Pokémon that first followed Gary were all at very high levels. Blastoise, Tyranitar, and Zapdos were all level 70, reaching Champion level in strength.

If Gary uses his six strongest Pokémon to challenge the League, he won't be able to beat Lance for now, and he'll also have some difficulty defeating the Elite Four.

After all, the four Elite Four members of the Kanto League are all veteran Elite Four members. Lance and Orange are both difficult to deal with. Although they are nominally the four Elite Four members, most of their main Pokémon are Champion-level.

To become the champion of the Kanto Alliance, Shigeru must fight for four consecutive days and defeat all four Elite Four members.

Actually, becoming the champion of the Kanto League is easier than in other regions, since other regions have four Heavenly Kings plus one champion, so you have to defeat five people to become champion.

The Kanto Alliance just needs to defeat the Four Heavenly Kings.

All the required Pokémon had been transferred, and Gary followed the staff to the room that Steven had prepared for him. The room was the staff dormitory, with two people sharing a room, and Sisley was already inside.

As for Daigo, he was naturally waiting for news in the control room.

"Xiao Mao, are we just going to wait here like this?" Xi Jiana asked immediately when she saw Xiao Mao.

"There's nothing we can do; we don't have any other means (to obtain Zhao) to find the other party," Xiao Mao said.

"Why don't we just arrest and interrogate the president of Violet Company?" Xijiana said.

Higana felt that this was the simplest and most direct way to get to the heart of the matter.

“Higana, the company is not what you think. A company like Da Zijing is no longer owned by the president alone. There are also various shareholders and other capital. The president cannot make decisions on his own.”

Xiao Mao explained, "The president of Da Zi Jing Company might not even know about this. Moreover, from a legal perspective, we don't have the right to arrest anyone. Without a permit approved by the Alliance, or direct proof, we can't arrest people."
