Chapter 547 Unexpected Allies
When Yang Ming left the black market, he found that there was fire outside. The whole slum was in chaos, with screams and running figures everywhere.
"Go and ask what happened." Yang Ming ordered Alex, who rushed into the chaotic crowd without hesitation.
After a while, he squeezed out of the crowd and said, "Boss, something big has happened. The Vulture Gang, the leader of the eight major gangs in the slums, has been wiped out!"
What?! Yang Ming was startled. He wanted to go to the Vulture Gang to settle accounts with them, but how come someone got there first?
Alex continued to explain, "I heard that the entire Vulture Gang has been frozen. All the gang members from top to bottom have been turned into ice sculptures, and the leader Vulture has also disappeared. Currently, several other gangs are fighting for the territory left by the Vulture Gang."
Yang Ming frowned and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "My friend, please stay. I have a business to discuss with you."
"Poison jellyfish, use poison bomb!" Yang Ming's expression turned cold, and he quickly threw a Poké Ball behind him. The poison jellyfish quickly fired a poison bomb towards the distant place where the sound came from, but was blocked by an invisible wall.
"Wall of light?" At this moment, a big man in red clothes appeared from the shadows. He was wearing a pair of strange headphones, with only a small tuft of hair on his head and an orange flame badge on his chest.
This badge is the logo of the largest underground organization in the Kalos region - the Flare Team.
Yang Ming also recognized the true identity of this big guy at a glance.
Within Team Flare, there are five great scientists. Their strength and status are equivalent to the cadres of Team Rocket and the sages of Team Plasma. They are backbone figures second only to the leader Fradili and the deputy leader Pakira.
The big guy in front of him was the only male among the five scientists of Team Flash: Kuserowski.
"Wait for me outside the slums. I want to talk to this gentleman." Yang Ming instructed Alex, and the latter did not hesitate and ran towards the exit of the slums at a high speed.
Seeing this, the expression on Kuseloski's face suddenly relaxed. He released a Pokémon that looked like a squid and ordered, "Squid King, use Light Wall."
An invisible wall separated Yang Ming and Kuselowski from the surrounding environment, so that people outside could not hear their conversation.
"My time is limited, so please keep your words brief." Yang Ming said coldly.
Kuseloski smiled and said, "I have heard of your name from the leader a long time ago. I know that a young and promising new cadre has recently appeared in the Rocket Team. Now it is true that meeting him in person is far better than hearing about him!"
Yang Ming did not reply. He and the leader of the Flash Team, Vladali, did have a friendship, and at one point they were even close enough to call each other brothers.
Then, Kuseloski suddenly changed the subject and said, "This time I came here to cooperate with my friends and take down the largest black market in Miare City, which is controlled by the Miare Gang!"
Yang Ming's pupils shrank, but he did not reply. He just listened to him continue.
Kuseloski spoke passionately: "You must have seen the scene in the slums. Because the Miare Gang controls the drug trade in the entire area, the people here have lost their fortunes due to drug addiction and finally become disabled. The entire slum has become a living hell. As long as we work together to take down this black market, we can completely destroy the Miare Gang's drug business and purify the entire Kalos area!"
Yang Ming remembered that when he met Vladali before, the latter had said something similar.
"Is this the ideal of your Flash Team? Unfortunately, this has nothing to do with our Rockets," Yang Ming said coldly, "I only care about the benefits. If you can't offer enough, I won't go to war with a new organization like the Miare Gang for the ideal of your Flash Team."
"Well, this is of course beneficial," Kuseloski rubbed his hands and threw a disk to him, "We have reliable information that there is a Mega Evolution Stone belonging to Kairos in the black market. As long as friends are willing to join forces with us, we will never compete with you for this Mega Evolution Stone."
Kairos Evolution Stone?! Yang Ming's pupils suddenly shrank. This was one of the three Mega Evolution Stones he needed most. Its value was not less than that of Bulbasaur Evolution Stone and Gyarados Evolution Stone. He didn't expect to find one on the black market.
For Yang Ming, the value of this evolution stone is even higher than the entire black market. After all, mega evolution greatly enhances combat power, especially the top-level mega evolution, which can almost be used for cross-level battles. So even if a top trainer gets an unused mega stone, he will not exchange it for money, but choose to barter it in exchange for a mega stone that is useful to him.
In comparison, although the profits from the black market are enormous, all that can be obtained are money and ordinary resources. It is absolutely impossible to exchange huge amounts of money for mega evolution stones.
Yang Ming's face became uncertain, he was determined to get this mega evolution stone, but he was afraid that Kuserowski would cheat. After thinking for a moment, Yang Ming finally made a decision and said coldly: "Okay, I can cooperate with you, but if I find that there is no mega evolution stone there, hehe..." After that, he crushed a piece of stone into powder.
Kuseloski waved his hands quickly: "Of course, my friend, you and our leader are close friends. If the leader finds out that I did something that makes him unhappy, I'm afraid I won't be able to gain a foothold in the organization."
"Humph, that's good if you know."
The two then had a brief discussion about their future cooperation, and after confirming that the date of the action was after 8 o'clock tomorrow night, they parted ways.
Yang Ming left the slums and moved into a five-star hotel arranged by Alex. He then began to tinker with the newly repaired Rockets gear.
The first thing he did was to teleport the Pokémon he had on hand. Since he had not been able to use Team Rocket Gears before, he had only been using six fixed Pokémon for a long time. Now it was time to let other partners come out and stretch their muscles.
The next step was to check the goods entrusted by Dr. Bratano. When the package was opened, several A4 papers came into view, and on these papers were the design drawings of a certain device. When Yang Ming saw the true face of the device, a storm surged in his heart.
"Sure enough, this is the design of the Zygarde Polyhedron."
