"I possess the explicit tactical routing maps your grandfather utilized to breach the Alolan Archipelago. I will instruct Yuan Na to securely forward the encrypted coordinates to your console immediately."
"Furthermore, the exact location where your grandfather recorded his final transmission has been thoroughly scouted by our private intelligence operatives. The energy signatures faded deep within a highly specialized, ancient sacrificial altar."
Mei Shenzi's precise telemetry caused Feng Che's mind to flash instantly to the Altar of the Sunne and Moone—the sacred, historically recorded focal point where the cosmic deities Solgaleo and Lunala undergo their divine ascension.
"Feng Che, the spatial fractures shifting across the Alolan interior are exceptionally unstable and hazardous. You carry the absolute, undivided survival hopes of the Yuan House on your shoulders; I am profoundly opposed to your station initiating an unauthorized exploration into those rifts," Mei Shenzi stated, her voice turning sharp and frantic over the encrypted link.
"You have my deepest apologies, Grandmother Mei Shenzi. I am bound by a prior, unyielding covenant; I must step through the Alolan gateway," Feng Che replied, his voice calm yet laced with absolute, immovable resolve.
"However, I grant you my solemn vow—I will return from that abyss completely unblemished. And if the dimensional parameters align, I will locate my grandfather and extract him from the dark zone."
Without giving her a window to deploy further emotional resistance, Feng Che severed the transmission link.
In the quiet office in Sinnoh, a silent tear slipped unbidden from the corner of Mei Shenzi's eye, tracing down her weathered skin.
"The psychological profile and raw determination he displayed just now... it's a flawless duplicate of Yuan Ba's presence. If the old man knew our lineage had engineered a grandson of this caliber, his spirit would be soaring."
"The Yuan House has successfully reclaimed its sovereign status as the undisputed hegemon of the Sinnoh underground. If we can safely recover Yuan Ba and Yuan Jia from the dark sectors... our family can finally achieve total reunification."
At that realization, the old matriarch's emotional boundaries completely collapsed, and a heavy torrent of tears washed down her face.
"Maintain your focus, Lady Mei Shenzi. Everything is stabilizing under our parameters; our house will only advance further from this night forward," Yuan Na murmured softly, gently massaging the elder's shoulders to buffer her distress.
"Precisely. I must preserve my strength to wait for that old fool's return."
Mei Shenzi wiped away her tears with the back of her palm, rising to her feet as she extracted a heavily weathered, yellowed parchment ledger from her spatial ring.
"These are the exact coordinates where my husband faded from our monitoring arrays; I meticulously recorded every single minor environmental reading. Once you format the data into a modern structural navigation file, forward it directly to Feng Che's console."
"The administrative meetings at Celestic Town require my presence; I will not linger here."
Remaining within the main estate merely aggravated her psychological attrition; every stone and corridor across the compound was thoroughly saturated with the memories of her life with Yuan Ba, inviting constant melancholy.
The Executive Syndicate
The exact millisecond Feng Che cleared his screen, Sabrina stepped into his private chambers, her expression completely rigid and professional.
"A secure, high-encryption video feed has just bypassed our terminal locks—routed straight from the Leader," Sabrina stated softly.
They were currently quartered within the central facilities of League Headquarters; a staggering number of surveillance arrays were actively mapping the sector, meaning any unsanctioned leakage would prove catastrophic.
Feng Che and Sabrina brought their palms together, unleashing a dense, multi-layered psychic barrier that completely isolated the structural airspace of the room before accepting the incoming handshake from Giovanni.
"Leader Giovanni," the two greeted him simultaneously, bowing their heads in deep, military precision.
"Haha... outstanding mechanical execution, the both of you! To think you fluidly seized the administrative opening to lock down Chief Sky's absolute favor," Giovanni's booming laughter echoed off the psychic shield, a rare look of complete satisfaction plastered across his features.
"With your official external deployments to the Hoenn and Unova Elite Four finalized on the charts, the strategic expansion parameters of our Rainbow Rocket Syndicate can finally clear their initialization phases without a single hitch."
The Earth King's lips were practically split into a permanent grin; the sheer volume of tactical leverage Feng Che and Sabrina had secured for his organization was staggering.
"However, Koga sustained severe structural micro-tears across his nervous system during his match, requiring a prolonged, high-discipline recovery cycle within our private medical wing. It is a minor logistical shame."
Following the successful calibration and deployment of their reconstructed Genesect legions, Team Rocket had utilized the ancient weapons systems to capture an immense harvest of rare alpha specimens across the wild sectors.
"Sabrina, I have a specialized, high-priority tracking directive that requires your personal, psychokinetic execution."
"Per the theoretical projections compiled by Dr. Fuji, the Hoenn interior houses a highly unique, ancient Psychic-type Mythical asset. My office requires your deployment to systematically locate and secure this specimen for our central laboratories."
"The creature's biological defense mechanisms are exceptionally deceptive; it possesses the structural capacity to rewrite its mass to masquerade as a massive cosmic meteorite. Its true neural core is suspended directly within its heart matrix."
"Ensure your vanguard initiates a tracking grid to capture this anomaly the moment your office stabilizes."
"Furthermore, our syndicate has successfully re-authorized the Mewtwo Project. Dr. Fuji's research branch has cleared the initial cellular stabilization phases, successfully cultivating a pristine, high-fidelity Mewtwo embryo within the primary incubation vats."
"The biological construct is expanding at an exceptional rate; the definitive skeletal and neural profiles have already solidified."
The continuous string of unbroken operational successes had left Giovanni in an extraordinarily magnificent mood, his executive stress completely dissolved.
"Sabrina, the elite Team Rocket operational units currently assigned to your division will accompany your transition into the Hoenn Sector, masquerading as your personal administrative staff. Every single minor operational invoice and asset allocation they require will be fully bankrolled by our central corporate reserves."
"As for your station, Feng Che..."
Giovanni paused, his fingers tracing his cigar case. Although Feng Che held the rank of an executive director within the four-member high council of Team Rocket, his institutional roots within the organization were remarkably shallow; he lacked a personalized, deeply conditioned private army to enforce his dictates.
"Let's settle it this way—every single resource block, financial credit, and high-tier asset required to format your personal military vanguard will be completely supplied by my central office. You are authorized to recruit, bribe, or assimilate any independent mercenary or high-order commander across the Unova Sector to build your house."
"Concurrently, you must track a secondary, classified objective—the research divisions of Unova's Team Plasma command an exceptionally advanced, world-class team of geneticists and bio-mechanical engineers."
"I require your vanguard to systematically dismantle their syndicate, manually digging out those scientists and routing their logistics tracks directly into our private research facilities."
"The objectives are completely understood, Leader Giovanni," Feng Che nodded smoothly, his expression entirely level. To a commander of his caliber, these tasks were basic logistical benchmarks.
"May your banners fly high across the new sectors. Oh, before I disconnect—in recognition of your exceptional performance metrics, I have dispatched a specialized Delibird to deliver a minor arrangement of commemorative rewards to your coordinates. Consider them my personal coronation gifts to your houses."
Giovanni severed the link.
A split-second later, Feng Che and Sabrina's personal communicators chimed simultaneously. It was a programmatic update from Dora, notifying their stations that the private transport vessel chartered to return them to the Kanto mainland was clearing its departure blocks.
The Blueprint of Lumiose
Upon arriving at the deep-sea submarine transit terminus, Feng Che detached from the primary escort, walking calmly toward the research pavilion where Clemont and his engineering team were configuring their arrays.
"Clemont, I intend to chart a brief, transitional course through the Kalos Region before my Unova contract finalizes. I trust your laboratory will welcome my presence?"
Feng Che was well-aware that the Alola Region remained an exceptionally remote, geologically isolated archipelago—an ecosystem that had yet to receive formal, administrative integration into the World League's central commercial grid. To map a secure, legally compliant transit vector into Alola, a traveler was required to route through the nearest modern hub, which happened to be Kalos.
From the luxury ports of Kalos, a premium trans-oceanic cruise liner departed for the Alolan islands exactly once every fifteen days.
Furthermore, Clemont's primary headquarters—Lumiose City—stood as the absolute, most prosperous metropolitan megalopolis across the Kalosian sector. The sprawling underground tracks of Lumiose housed the absolute largest, most sophisticated black-market exchange network in the region, supplemented by the highest concentration of advanced technological manufacturing plants in the modern world.
The exact millisecond Feng Che's transport pod docked within the automated bays of Lumiose City, a sleek, corporate Delibird dropped out of the high airspace, its expression thoroughly exhausted and exasperated.
The courier bird had originally finalized a flight path toward the Unova Sector, only to receive an urgent, mid-transit programmatic redirection from its handler, forcing it to violently pivot its vector toward Kalos. The continuous high-velocity atmospheric friction had left it completely winded.
The bird aggressively shoved a heavily sealed, premium carbon-fiber container directly into Feng Che's hands, before violently fanning its wings to rocket back into the high clouds, refusing to linger for a single second.
Delibird (Thinking): This company is run by absolute tyrants! I am running my wings into structural failure! I am never accepting a delivery contract that routes through the Kalosian airspace ever again!
Feng Che cracked the hydraulic seals of the container. Resting within the velvet lining was a pristine, heavy ultra-ball, paired with a shimmering, high-purity Charizardite X.
"A maximum-density Charizardite X catalyst... an exceptionally rare mineral allocation," Feng Che murmured, his eyes widening slightly. "If Giovanni supplied the stone... then the containment unit must house..."
With a smooth flick of his wrist, he deployed the ball onto the metallic floor of the lab.
The flash of light unraveled, materializing a massive Charmander whose entire biological skin layer was composed of a rich, grey-black pigment mutation. The flame burning violently at the tip of its tail radiated a distinct, intense blue-grey plasma signature.
The prehistoric infant opened its jaws, displaying two pairs of needle-sharp, elongated draconic fangs that looked remarkably predatory. Its physical height metrics were staggering—standing nearly as tall as a fully matured, standard Charmeleon.
The black infant unhinged its snout, unleashing a towering, magnificent pillar of blue fire straight toward the reinforced ventilation shafts of the ceiling.
"An Atavistic Archetype Charmander...?"
"A starter whose cellular structure is completely saturated with ancient, high-purity Dragon-type bloodlines?"
Where under heaven did Giovanni manage to unearth a prehistoric specimen of this caliber? Feng Che thought, a grin spreading across his face as he brought up his diagnostic terminal to map its baseline attribute sheet.
