So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 322 Wei Xin: The highest level of warfare is commanding the enemy

Jupiter slept peacefully. Fortunately, she only drank a sip of diluted sleeping pills. According to Mars's estimation, with Jupiter's superb physical abilities, it would probably take about an hour to metabolize them.

Everyone enjoyed the meal immensely. The wild matsutake mushrooms brought by the Taoist priest were of exceptional quality, so much so that Mars ate with great relish, getting along very well with everyone as if they were old friends. He even forgot to ask Wei Xin for information and lay down on the stool, clutching his stomach.

"Speaking of which, since you're planning to open a restaurant, I have a gift for you." Wei Xin said, taking out a pen and paper, writing and drawing on it, and finally handing it to Papa.

Piper took the paper and read the title: "The Alcremie Cultivation Guide".

He counted them and found that, excluding shiny and Dynamax Alcremie, there were a total of sixty-three types of Alcremie, more than twenty more than the current Pokédex records.

"You can try to cultivate it. If it really works, it can be used as a gimmick for your restaurant."

"Okay," Papa gladly accepted Wei Xin's gift. "When I open a restaurant in the future, I will definitely invite everyone to eat at my restaurant."

"That's great, Pipa has a goal in life now." Nemo stretched lazily across the table, looking at her ten fingers, and said enviously, "Miss Cynthia, Wei Xin, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

"I just graduated, and there's so much to do," Wei Xin said, counting on his fingers. "I need to repair the Iron Warrior, become the champion of the Eastern Empire, deal with the Lak element, and if necessary, I'll also deal with those potential threats to the world. I'll probably be busy for a while. If I can retire before I'm thirty, that would be a success."

"I plan to go back to Sinnoh first. There are some things I need to investigate," Cynthia said, glancing sideways at Wei Xin for a moment. Regardless of whether Wei Xin could completely eliminate Team Galactic, even if he could, the uproar surrounding Team Galactic's disappearance could still impact the Sinnoh region.

Wei Xin guessed Cynthia's thoughts. The Sinnoh region was quite far from the Eastern Empire—he didn't want to be separated from Cynthia for too long. Pursuing a girl from another place was too agonizing, so he had to think of a way.

Cynthia continued, "Once someone takes the Sinnoh Championship from me, or after the next World Championship, I might choose to retire and focus on the study of mythology and history. The history of the Eastern Empire still—"

That's quite interesting.

"Speaking of the World Championships, Ms. Cynthia is currently number two in the world, right?" Nemo was about to mention that she narrowly lost to Leon in the last championship, but then she thought that it might hurt Cynthia's feelings, so she chose to keep quiet. The meaning of the world's strongest female trainer and the world's strongest trainer are completely different.

Cynthia, on the other hand, seemed completely unconcerned: "I narrowly lost to Dan in the last tournament, so I plan to try again for the world championship this time."

She glanced at Wei Xin, who was sitting on the ground, intently giving Gardevoir a relaxing massage. His fingers were on Gardevoir's shoulders, waist, and feet. Gardevoir covered her mouth, her face flushed, trying her best not to moan. After the massage, she lay down on the ground, her eyes half-closed, her face radiating relaxation and pleasure.

Cynthia said, "However, there may be many more players to watch out for this year than in previous years."

"Indeed, after all, the strength of several world champions should not be underestimated," Wei Xin said, arms crossed, nodding in agreement. "Speaking of which, Cynthia, what do you think is Leon's greatest strength in battle?"

"Characteristics," Cynthia stroked her chin, her eyes lowered, as she began to recall her battle with Din in the World Championships, "If I had to say, it would be all-around ability."

"All-powerful?" Nemo repeated, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, all-around," Cynthia nodded. "Their mentality and strength go without saying. Those who can become champions are the best in their respective regions, and everyone has their own strengths, just like the four kings of their regions. But they are also easily targeted by tactics and lineups."

"For example, Lance from the Kanto region specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon, while there is an Elite Four member in the Kanto region who specializes in Ice-type Pokémon, which caused his early path to becoming a champion to be full of twists and turns."

"Daigo is the same. His team consists of partners who explore minerals. Karni's lineup tends to be flashy, but it is often criticized by fans of other teams as being all show and no substance."

"The reason I was able to become the Sinnoh Champion was actually due to a bit of a clever strategy in my Pokémon lineup. Apart from Garchomp and the others, I could fit other Pokémon into the team depending on the opponent and to deal with different situations."

"In this respect, Leon and I are very similar, but I train my partner more to help me with archaeological excavations. Leon is different; his team is trained entirely for battle, and each Pokémon has a specialty that can handle different situations, while its position can also be replaced by other Pokémon."

"Last year, I used Dragon Tail to force Leon's Charizard out, and then traded his ace Pokémon for a Rockruff, but I still lost to his Dynamax Rumble. But now that I think about it, even if he had chosen to Dynamax other Pokémon, the final result wouldn't have been much different."

"His lineup is so versatile that in order to counter his tactics, players end up being constrained and unable to unleash their full potential."

"It sounds hopeless," Nemo sighed, feeling both excited and dismayed by Dante's strength.

"It's true, though I hate to admit it," Cynthia agreed. "Besides, Leon's tactics are top-notch. To defeat Leon, you either need to use a power greater than his, or you can only rely on the element of surprise to catch him off guard."

During their conversation, Maya pushed open the kitchen door, slid over to Wei Xin, and held a small, transparent bottle containing some kind of clear liquid in each of her two mechanical hands: "Sir, here's your truth serum."

"Truth serum!!!"

Upon hearing the name of the medicine that Magiana mentioned, Mars straightened up in fright, her upper body bobbing up off the table. She didn't even care about being surprised by the extremely rare Magiana in Wei Xin's house. Now she finally understood that Wei Xin's invitation to stay for dinner was just a delaying tactic. His real purpose was to buy time to make the truth serum and pry the secrets of Team Galactic from her.

Suddenly, she hardened her heart, her eyes filled with the resolve to perish together with Wei Xin. Unexpectedly, instead of sending someone to restrain her, she calmly walked to her side and placed a small bottle of truth serum into her palm: "Take it carefully, don't break it."

"Huh?" Mars was stunned. He opened his mouth, looked down at the small bottle in his palm, then at Wei Xin with an innocent look, then at the bottle again, his gaze shifting back and forth between Wei Xin and the bottle.

What does that mean?

"What else could it mean? I'm giving it to you."

Before Mars could react, Wei Xin took a glass, poured in some water, poured a small drop from a small bottle, and handed the diluted truth serum to Mars: "Go, pour the truth serum into Jupiter's mouth."

"What?! You want me to feed Jupiter Truth Serum?" Mars's forehead veins bulged with rage. "You not only want information on Team Galactic, but you even want to drive a wedge between me and Jupiter?"

Mars's pupils trembled. Although she and Jupiter had always disliked each other as colleagues, how could she possibly betray the Galactic Team and hurt her fellow members, who were also working together for their ideals?

Those were her dearest friends and family.

"You can decide what questions to ask her yourself," Wei Xin said indifferently. "I won't interfere. Just treat it as a truth-or-dare game."

Wei Xin turned around and sat down on the sofa among the other four people. He took the popcorn and cola that Cynthia handed him, and the five of them crossed their legs at the same time, as if they were about to enjoy a great show.

Mars was completely bewildered. She couldn't keep up with Wei Xin's thinking at all. First, he pulled her from Shaanxi, then treated her to a meal, then gave her the truth serum, and even let her interrogate Jupiter. He gave her a great deal of freedom, but didn't make any demands.

It was as if she had calculated that she would feed Jupiter the truth serum.

"Don't worry, after you've tested the truth serum on Jupiter, I'll send you back to your hotel in Shaanxi," Wei Xin said. "I've always been a man of my word."

"Really? Even if it's a trivial question?" Mars turned her head to the side, looking at the boy in front of her with suspicion in her left eye, trying to glean some clue from his expression through profiling, but she only got one result.

Wei Xin's eyes showed no other thoughts. He seemed to really intend to send Jupiter back to Team Galaxy after he fed her the truth serum and asked her the questions he was curious about.

"real."

Wei Xin nodded. Seeing that Mars was still hesitating, he decided to start a fire. He released the popcorn in his hand and snapped his fingers: "Darkrai, wake up Jupiter."

Upon hearing this, the shadow beneath Wei Xin's feet shifted, and Darkrai transformed into a long black streak, passing through the legs beneath Mars's skirt and landing in Jupiter's shadow. It then floated out, aimed at Jupiter's head, raised its hand, and curled its five fingers.

As if he had grasped something invisible to ordinary people, Jupiter's nightmare was pulled away as his arm was pulled back. His body sprang up like a puppet, and he opened his eyes in terror, one hand tightly gripping the air in front of him.

Jupiter, forcibly awakened, was breathing heavily with difficulty, drool dripping from the corner of her mouth. She had just had a dream in which she was a student who had excellent grades from elementary school to university.

But as time went on, when she was in junior high school, a high school diploma was enough. When she went to high school, a high school diploma was worthless. Before she could get a bachelor's degree, she went to a bachelor's program and chose a popular major. But after graduation, a bachelor's degree was worthless, and a master's degree was required to get a job. After completing a master's degree, a master's degree was worthless, and a doctorate was required. After working hard to graduate with a doctorate, she found that the popular major was no longer in demand. In the end, she could only go out and work as a courier with her doctorate. Her colleague was the runner-up of the previous competition.

It's truly despairing.

"Your companion has woken up. Now you can feed her the truth serum," Wei Xin urged.

Hearing the voice, Jupiter turned her head in surprise and saw Wei Xin's face. She realized that everything that had just happened was just a nightmare and breathed a sigh of relief. She had only been captured by Wei Xin.

She immediately saw Mars pounce on her, grab her chin, and force a glass of water into her mouth: "Sorry, tomboy, I had no choice. It's all for the ideals of Team Galactic."

After the entire glass of water was poured into Jupiter's mouth, Jupiter's body twitched, and he slapped his head. Mars tentatively asked, "How was it? Did it taste?"

"What flavor can plain water have!" Jupiter spat several times, sticking out his tongue as he spoke.

"I have a question for you," Mars asked Jupiter the question he least wanted to know, in order to test the effects of the truth serum. "Jupiter, what is your current weight?"

"My weight is 8 kilograms, so why should I answer your question?"

Jupiter uttered the answer that had flashed through his mind, followed by a rant. His words and thoughts were mixed together, and his true inner thoughts sounded like unconscious soliloquy. His thinking was noticeably sluggish, but he was unaware of it.

The truth serum worked better than Wei Xin had expected.

Seeing the truth serum take effect quickly, Mars swallowed hard. After a brief hesitation, he asked the question he was most curious about: "Jupiter, do you really believe in Team Galactic and that Lord Red Sun's ideal can succeed?"
