Starting from the war factory.
Xiaoxia was chatting with Xiaoyao all the way.
Xiaozhi tried to join the conversation several times, but failed and could only shrug helplessly.
Xiao Gang came over curiously and asked quietly, "What's wrong with you, Xiaozhi?"
Xiaozhi sighed softly and replied, "It's a long story about this."
In his previous life, he was a single dog and didn't know how to coax girls, so he didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
Just as Xiaozhi was thinking hard, Xiaoxia was suddenly frightened by a green caterpillar that jumped out of the grass!
Her face was livid, and her teeth and body were chattering.
The Caterpillar moved forward aggressively. Misty screamed in fear and grabbed Xiaozhi who had just walked over and hugged him tightly.
"By the way, Misty seems to be afraid of bug Pokémon."
Xiaoyao said, but her eyes were fixed on the two people hugging each other tightly.
"Do not move!"
A childish scolding came from the treetops above.
A little boy jumped down and pointed at Xiaozhi and the others, "You guys are the thieves from yesterday!"
"Thief? No, this little friend..."
Xiaozhi blinked.
The question was barely finished when the other party launched an attack impatiently!
"Caterpillar, use Silk Spin!"
So, boys are not cute at all.
Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Pikachu, 100,000 volts, hold back a bit."
"Pika!"
This green caterpillar is only level 10, and he's afraid that Pikachu might use too much force and destroy it.
But even so, the tiny electric arc was not something the other party could easily withstand.
The green caterpillar that didn't dodge made crackling sounds all over its body, and tiny electric currents were raging through its body.
After just one encounter, he fell to the ground, somewhat charred.
"Shouldn't you be a little more forceful..."
Xiaozhi felt a little reluctant, as the soft jade in his hands was still trembling and rubbing against his chest.
Pikachu looked innocent, "Pika (You didn't say that)~"
"Green Caterpillar!"
The little boy picked up the dark ball with heartache.
Misty eyes, "You bad guys, not only did you come to our institute to steal things, but you even treated my green caterpillar like this!"
"So, we are just travelers who have just arrived here and are lost."
Xiaozhi patted Xiaoxia on the back, indicating that the crisis was over.
After handing her over to Xiaoyao, he looked at the dark mass and said, "And let me make it clear, kid, it was you who let the caterpillars attack us first. We were just defending ourselves."
"We really need to find out what your purpose is in coming to my institute. Let me, Dr. Gordon, see into your inner thoughts!"
A middle-aged man in a white coat and a purple pot-lid on his head descended from the sky with a flying vehicle with bat wings suspended behind him, his eyes fixed on Xiaozhi and his group.
Xiaozhi didn't want to get too entangled with them, he said loudly, "So, we just came here by accident on the way to Golden City!"
"Pika Pika!"
Don't these two guys understand what people say?
"ah?"
The old man and the young man looked at each other in bewilderment. "So, you are just lost?"
"I told you this at the beginning..." Xiaozhi looked at them, feeling speechless.
"I'm so sorry I mistook you for thieves."
The caterpillar brother bowed his head and apologized with a bit of guilt.
The misunderstanding was resolved, and Xiaozhi took a look at the ball in his arms and decided not to argue with it any longer.
After understanding, I found out.
This little brother's name is Xiaoshan, and the forest that Xiaozhi and his friends accidentally entered is the... courtyard of Dr. Gordon's laboratory.
Is being a PhD so lucrative?
Xiaozhi couldn't help but think of the several bonuses he had won.
Damn, didn't the Alliance send me a few fewer zeros?
Full of doubts, Xiaozhi and others entered the research institute for a visit under the invitation of Dr. Gordon and others.
At the same time, they also learned what happened last night.
Probably a few thieves sneaked into the research institute late at night to steal the information inside, but were discovered and driven away by the Caterpillar.
That's why Xiaoshan brought his partner to patrol the "courtyard" today.
"I see."
After listening, Xiaozhi nodded.
Based on his experience, it was not difficult to guess that it was most likely another stupid thing done by those three idiots.
But it's fine if they steal Pokémon, but why do they steal information?
Is there something here worth their attention?
While his thoughts were active, Dr. Gordon began to enthusiastically introduce his various inventions.
Massage machines, microphones, all these are very imaginative things.
It just feels like they are not very useful.
Xiaozhi looked at Dr. Gordon who was hypnotizing himself with the "Pigsy Voice Microphone" and complained in his heart.
In the end, he asked Pikachu for help to "wake up" Dr. Gordon.
"Maomao!"
Suddenly, the resting green caterpillar jumped off the sofa.
Xiaoxia, who had been paying attention to it, was so scared that she trembled and moved closer to Xiaozhi.
"Green Caterpillar, what's wrong?"
Xiaoshan looked at the caterpillar's vigilant eyes and asked in surprise, "Is the thief from yesterday back again?"
The caterpillar uttered two cries and quickly crawled out of the room.
"Let's go check it out, Xiaoshan!"
Dr. Gordon shouted and hurriedly followed with Xiaoshan.
Seeing this, Xiaogang turned to Xiaozhi and said, "Let's go and take a look too, Xiaozhi!"
"Okay." Xiaozhi nodded in agreement.
Wait until everyone comes to the reference room.
The place was in a complete mess, and the three members of Team Rocket were holding various documents and files, preparing to leave!
Among them, Meow Meow was holding a box in his hand.
"You are the thieves from yesterday!"
Xiao Shan pointed at them and shouted, "Green Caterpillar, use Silk Spin!"
The young man caught the criminal red-handed and acted without any hesitation.
"Hehe, this is related to our future of getting promoted, getting rich, and becoming the director of the scientific research department!"
Musashi took out the Poké Ball and said, "This little bug was the one that caused all the trouble yesterday. Fix it up, Snake!"
"Scared!"
"Pikachu, Iron Tail!"
"Pika!"
Bang!
Following Xiaozhi's order, Iron Tail quickly hit the newly emerged Snake and smashed into the trio.
Suddenly, the information flew all over the floor.
The caterpillar swallowed one of the candies that fell out of the box.
"Ah, uh uh uh! You can't eat that candy!"
Dr. Gordon let out a weird cry.
But it was too late!
I saw a red light emerging from the surface of the caterpillar, and under Xiaoxia's increasingly frightened gaze, it expanded dozens of times in size!
"The bug... is... so big..."
Xiaoxia's body went limp, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted from fright.
Seeing this, Xiaozhi quickly grabbed her waist and prevented her from falling.
Given her temper, she's bound to have nightmares for the next few days.
Thinking of this, Xiaozhi looked at the three culprits with fierce eyes.
"Pikachu, 100,000 volts!"
"Pika! Chu!"
Bilibili! Bang!
"No way!"
The dream of getting promoted and getting rich was shattered, Team Rocket let out a shrill scream, and was knocked away.
But it's far from over.
Because the caterpillar's body is still flashing red and constantly expanding!
