Chapter 200 Meeting Xia Bo
“Chamberlain…”
The bald old man smiled slightly after hearing Lu An's words:
"Young friend Lu, it's been a long time."
Lu An's expression was complicated.
He never expected to run into such an unexpected person here.
Blaine is the founder of the Crimson Lab, a researcher at the Fossil Research Base, a fire-attribute expert, and also the Gym Leader of Crimson Town.
Of course, that was in the past.
Because of his other identity, he is a core member of Team Rocket's "Creating Mewtwo" experiment.
After Lu An traveled to this world and destroyed many of Team Rocket's laboratories, the Investigator Organization and the League finally discovered the relationship between Blaine and Team Rocket.
Therefore, Lu An was once dispatched to capture Xia Bo.
Although Blaine escaped in the end on Rapidash, he became the first Gym Leader in the Kanto region to be confirmed to have ties to Team Rocket.
However, since that failed arrest, Xia Bo has seemed to have vanished into thin air and has never been seen again.
Lu An had imagined many possibilities for meeting Xia Bo again.
For example, after Mewtwo was created by Team Rocket and escaped, the two met in Cerulean Cave.
But he never expected that Blaine would appear on Silver Mountain and save him from the avalanche.
and many more.
Lu An suddenly remembered that Bai Ling seemed to have mentioned before that Xia Bo was actually behind the Three Sacred Birds Project.
Could it be that Sharp's appearance at Silver Mountain was not a coincidence?
Did he also come here chasing after the Moltres?
Lu An's mind raced, and he completely forgot that Xia Bo was still greeting him.
Xia Bo didn't seem to mind Lu An's awkward silence; instead, he smiled and stroked his beard.
"It seems that young friend Lu is still quite wary of me."
Xia Bo's renewed voice finally pulled Lu An back from his thoughts.
Lu An's complexion was not good:
"Hmph, why should I give a nice face to a Rockets fugitive wanted by the League?"
Blaine smiled helplessly:
"I am no longer a member of the Rockets."
Lu An naturally understood.
The reason why Xia Bo disappeared was not only because Lu An had caught evidence of his close ties with Team Rocket, but also because he had long harbored the idea of leaving Team Rocket.
However, this had nothing to do with Lu An.
"What are you doing at Silver Mountain? How did you manage to bypass the Alliance's blockade of Silver Mountain?"
Blaine sat on a stone stool, stroking the fiery body of the blazing horse.
The flames on Rapidash will not burn a trainer if the trainer recognizes them.
Uncle Blaine said slowly:
"What else could it be for? Aren't we all here for Moltres, just like you?"
As for the second half of Lu An's question, he pretended not to hear it.
Lu An narrowed his eyes slightly:
"You've already left Team Rocket, why are you still looking for Moltres?"
Bob shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"Young friend Lu, we've known each other for many years, there's no need to deliberately test me with your words, is there?"
Xia Bo ignored Lu An's probing words and instead began to speak calmly:
"I left Team Rocket after I realized that Team Rocket's Pokémon experiments were an uncontrollable force."
"I hope to find a way to cleanse myself, no, just wash away a trace of the sins I once carried."
"I know Team Rocket is trying to capture the three legendary birds, hoping to turn them into an incomparably powerful Pokémon through genetic experiments."
"That's why I came to Silver Mountain, hoping to stop the Rockets' actions in advance."
Bob shook his head:
"It's just a pity that I seem to have arrived a step too late."
Lu An sized up Xia Bo for a moment, then suddenly snorted coldly:
"I think your bigger goal is to use Moltres to surrender to the League, and at the same time see if Moltres's flames can heal the 'Mewtwo gene' in your body!"
Upon hearing Lu An's words, Uncle Xia, though old, still had a strong body and looked at Lu An in surprise.
He never expected that Lu An would be able to expose his biggest secret so easily!
Yes!
He would risk being discovered by the league to come to Silver Mountain, not only hoping to stop the Rockets' plans, but also intending to rejoin the league.
Although Blaber was once a core member of the Rockets.
However, Blaine was only attracted to Team Rocket's grand plan of "creating Mewtwo" after becoming the Gym Leader of Cinnabar City, and was persuaded by Giovanni to join Team Rocket.
In other words, apart from focusing on creating Mewtwo in the laboratory, he did not do anything else dirty for Team Rocket.
If he can capture Moltres, given Moltres's immense value and the fact that he disrupted Team Rocket's plans, he is confident he can be reinstated to the league.
After all, he was a high-ranking member of the league back then, yet he had connections with the Rockets, which can be considered the biggest scandal in the Kanto League in the last decade.
Therefore, the league concealed the fact that Blair was colluding with the Rockets from the public.
He can return to the alliance if the league leadership forgives him.
Besides the two purposes mentioned above, Blaine had another selfish motive.
In order to create Mewtwo, Blaine extracted genes from many Pokémon, including Mew's eyelashes.
However, they were always one step behind.
It wasn't until Blaine extracted his own human genes and exchanged them with some of Mewtwo's genes that Mewtwo truly had a chance of being created.
He could easily be called the "Father of Mewtwo" or the "Father of a First-Class God" based on this.
Unfortunately, in order to become the father of the gods, Blaise also paid a price.
The price was that the "Mewtwo gene" within him became increasingly active as Mewtwo took shape.
The genes belonging to the gods wreaked havoc within his body and gradually eroded his vitality.
In order to survive Mewtwo's genes, Blaine decides to seek out other gods and use their power to eliminate the Mewtwo genes within him.
His target was the Moltres, one of the three legendary birds with some rudimentary information and traces.
However, Xia Bo never expected that this secret, which he believed no one else in the world knew, would be exposed by Lu An right in front of him.
This made him forget to speak for a moment.
Seeing this, Lu An shook his head helplessly.
Despite all his precautions, Xia Bo never expected that he would still be tricked into revealing the truth.
Judging from Blaine's expression, Mewtwo's genes have indeed begun to wreak havoc within him.
This means that Mewtwo, if not yet created by the Rockets, is at least largely complete.
It's even possible that it escaped the Rockets' control after it had already taken shape.
How much disaster would a first-level god who has not developed the correct values cause to the Alliance and the people?
Lu An hadn't expected this either.
