He knows Pokémon better than me.

To the northwest of Ula'ula Island, there is an abandoned town.

All the houses in the town are empty and uninhabited. The walls of the buildings and the streets are covered with colorful graffiti and garbage is everywhere.

With no water or electricity, and almost isolated from the outside world, this place has completely become a place for the Skeleton Team to live and party - Po Town!
A tall wall was built on the edge of the town, almost surrounding and blocking the entire town, leaving only a small exit in one direction.

At a fork in the road a few hundred meters outside the town exit, there is a lonely police station. Occasionally, you can see a few Alola-like meows coming out of the house, playing and frolicking.

At this moment, on the lawn outside the police station, the three members of Team Rocket were kneeling there with serious expressions.

A few Alola Meowth would run up to Meowth from time to time and scratch the latter's face with their claws, which made Meowth feel a little unhappy.

"Damn, these country meows!"

Miaomiao gritted his teeth and didn't get angry.

Find a chance to catch all these ugly cats and sell them to Unova to grow cotton!
In front of the three people was a middle-aged man wearing a black police uniform, with short gray hair, heavy dark circles under his eyes, and a face that looked a little thin and gloomy.

"Haha, I'm so sleepy~"

He yawned lazily, looking unmotivated.

The police officer's uniform was also worn loosely, revealing the bright red lining underneath, and he was wearing a pair of casual slippers on his feet.

Merdan, the king of the island of Ula'ula!
He is also a police officer of Ula Ula Island. He deliberately chose a location outside Po Town for his office.
Because of the Skeleton Team, there are hardly any residents living around here, so naturally no neighbors will come to disturb him.

Free and easy, convenient for being lazy~!

Occasionally, I would catch a few Skeleton Team soldiers who were causing trouble and give them a warning, and that would be considered as clocking in for work.

just
The arrival of the Rockets half a year ago broke his leisurely situation.

"Eh"

Merdan looked at the two people and the cat in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

After all, he is a subordinate of his old friend Sakaki. According to the three of them, he is said to be Sakaki's most trusted confidant.

"If you don't help, Sakaki might come to the Alola region to cause trouble."

Following the principle of less trouble is worse than more, Merdan helped his old friend's subordinates.

At the beginning, the monitoring base in the jungle of Melemele Island was given for free, and a Z bracelet was also given as a gift.

And today, the Rockets trio came again, intending to make themselves stronger!
"I think your Mimikyu is quite powerful. Take this thing. If you practice hard in the future, you may become a master."

Merdan directly threw a beige exclusive Z pure crystal to Musashi.

Two flashes of ghostly light suddenly lit up on the chest of the Mimikyuu next to Musashi!
"Hey, this thing isn't..."

Musashi took it in his hand and looked at it, gradually remembering it.

She remembered that the little girl who used the colored mimicry hill used this thing at the sports meeting.

Mimikyu exclusive Z is a good thing!
"Ah, Senior Mo Dan! Please give me some treasures too!"

Kojiro next to him also came over attentively, looked at Merdan with fiery eyes, and released his good and bad star.

Otherwise, give him a Z pure crystal exclusive to Good and Bad Star!
"Maru~!"

As soon as the good and bad star came out, his cheeks suddenly turned red and he rushed directly towards Kojiro's face.

Surrounded by the tentacles' poisonous stings, Kojiro's face suddenly turned purple, and he fell into a poisoned state, staggering in place. Merdan scratched his head in confusion:
"Uh buddy, I suggest you try to calm your good and bad star down first~"

However, since the three people want to improve their strength.

It just so happened that recently that girl Aserola kept yelling at him to come out and accept the challenge, to show off his power as the king of Ula Ula Island.
Merdan suddenly had an idea in his mind:

"By the way, the three of you should be the trial gatekeepers for the island tour. I heard that a young and promising trainer will be coming soon. If you defeat him, you should be able to improve a lot."

He immediately pushed the Rockets out!
If the challenger couldn't even defeat the three people in front of him, then he could continue to sleep and it wouldn't be considered as failing to do what Aserola asked.

"Island Tour?"

Musashi and Kojiro looked at each other in bewilderment. This was probably something young people in Alola often did.

And the gatekeeper of the trial, if he is outside, is equivalent to serving as the gym leader, right?

The three people's eyes brightened instantly!
Musashi immediately raised his hand and pointed, saying aggressively:
"Mimicho, it's time to teach the young people of Alola a lesson!"

"Jie Jie~!"

Mimikyuu was sneering beside them, and the shadow claws under him were already thirsty.

However, its biggest goal at the moment is to kill the Pikachu from outside the area!
Although it was defeated last time, this time it has the power of its own Z-pure crystal. It's time to seek revenge on that electric mouse!

"Then let's go quickly~ The location is at the southernmost part of Ula'la Island, inside a supermarket~"

Merdan yawned, gave an address, and gave a final reminder:
"There is one more thing. You might get into trouble when you go there, so don't mention our relationship then, otherwise..."

Merdan's expression gradually darkened, with a hint of threat in his eyes.

After all, the three people in front of him are from Team Rocket, which is not a good organization, and he is a righteous policeman, so it is not easy to get involved with them.

Seeing this lazy uncle's sudden serious expression, Kojiro and the other two also looked gloomy and swallowed hard.

Not to mention, just like Boss Sakaki, it’s very oppressive!

"Could it be that once we reveal his identity, we will be crushed to ashes by him?"

Miaomiao was also intimidated by Merdan's aura, thinking to herself.

Merdan said seriously:
"If you really expose me, I won't admit it. It has nothing to do with me anyway~!"

After saying that, Merdan turned and walked towards the police station, one hand still waving lazily.

Team Rocket trio: “.”

What a strange uncle.

Looking at the closed door of the police station from afar, the three of them were secretly surprised.

Why would a policeman be involved with Boss Sakaki? They seem to be quite familiar with each other.

"None of this matters! Mimikyuu, it's time to do something big!!"

Musashi was the first to stand up, pointing one hand to the sky, with the Mimikyu Z already embedded on the Z bracelet on his wrist!
Kojiro and Meowth also stood up, looked at each other, and sneered at the same time.

Next, let's go to the supermarket that Uncle Merdan mentioned, and prepare to snipe the young people in Alola! (End of this chapter)
