Chapter 195: Grandma Agatha
Leaving Vincent's Villa, it was almost dawn, so Bai Feng could only call Professor Oak.
Originally, he had planned to go directly to the Cinnabar Island Police Station to report the crime, but after seeing the list of Cinnabar Island officials involved, he could no longer trust anyone on Cinnabar Island.
Professor Oak was already organizing people to develop the Grand Canyon Underground Cave at this time, so he hadn't slept all night out of excitement, his eyes bloodshot.
"Hello, Bai Feng!"
Because he hadn't rested well, Professor Oak was a bit temperamental. Hearing someone call him so early in the morning, he almost swore, but upon seeing that the caller was Bai Feng, he quickly suppressed his unstable emotions.
"Why are you calling me so early? Did you succeed in the Gym Challenge?"
"I succeeded in the Gym Challenge, but I'm calling you about something else, something very important," Bai Feng replied.
"What is it?" Professor Oak's tone was full of confusion. So early in the morning, before dawn, what could be so important?
"It's like this..."
So Bai Feng told Professor Oak everything he had discovered at Wensen's home, from beginning to end.
"What?"
Professor Oak exclaimed after listening. This was no small matter; it actually involved Silph Company.
One must know that as the largest enterprise in the Kanto region and one of the top five companies in the world, Silph Company had a huge influence in the Kanto region, even related to the economic lifeline of the Kanto region. Even the Pokémon League had to think twice before taking action against it.
"Are you sure what you said is true?" Professor Oak couldn't help but confirm.
"Of course, I've already obtained the evidence. I'll send you the video footage right now for you to see," Bai Feng said.
"Quick, quick, send it over quickly," Professor Oak said urgently.
"Okay!"
In just a few minutes, Professor Oak received the data sent by Bai Feng. He was so angry his face turned red. So many officials on Cinnabar Island were actually involved in Wensen's criminal activities.
Professor Oak was someone who had served as the Kanto League Champion and absolutely could not tolerate such things happening.
"Bai Feng, don't worry, I will handle this matter properly. You stay on Cinnabar Island for now. I will quickly notify people to handle the matters there, and you can meet up with them then," Professor Oak instructed Bai Feng over the telephone.
Bai Feng heard this and asked, "Will that delay me going back to class tomorrow?"
Professor Oak said angrily and frantically, "So what if it delays you? Don't you know what's important and what's urgent?"
"Hahaha~~" Bai Feng couldn't help but laugh, "I'm just kidding with you, don't be so angry. Don't worry, I will keep an eye on the situation here."
Professor Oak was amused by Bai Feng and hung up the telephone helplessly, then quickly dialed another number.
Bai Feng waited on Cinnabar Island for most of the day, but there was no movement from the Pokémon League.
Gastly said anxiously, "Are the people you found reliable? If not, I'll just go rescue Lapras and the others myself!" With its strength, wouldn't rescuing Lapras and the others be a piece of cake?
"No, there are only two of us. We can't handle both the Research Institute and Wensen's place at the same time. If we alert the enemy, someone will definitely take the opportunity to run away, not to mention those involved officials."
Gastly said impatiently, "What does that have to do with me! I just need to rescue the Pokémon that are being held!"
"No, will you trust me?" Bai Feng pleaded, "It's not too late to rescue Lapras after the Pokémon League sends people!"
"I don't care!"
Gastly had always been willful. Don't think that just because it spoke nicely to Bai Feng, it was easy to get along with. It was true that it had a good heart, but it also possessed the temperamental personality of Ghost-type Pokémon. It was a Pokémon, so it naturally felt that human matters were unimportant.
Moreover, because of this incident, its impression of humans was very bad.
After speaking, Gastly was about to fly outside.
"Gastly, don't force me!" Bai Feng said, his attitude also became firm this time.
In Gastly's surprised gaze, a blue vortex appeared beside Bai Feng, and a Xatu flew out from it, blocking Gastly's path.
"Dee-oh~" Stop!
Xatu warned Gastly.
Looking at the purple glow flickering on Xatu's body, Gastly showed surprise. "Bai Feng, this old man really underestimated you!" It could clearly feel that this Xatu's strength was nearly as great as its own.
"Listen to me. We can both bring the villains to justice and rescue Lapras and the others. It's the best of both worlds, so why are you in such a hurry?"
Gastly stared at Bai Feng silently, not saying a word. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Just then, Bai Feng's telephone rang, breaking the silence. Bai Feng picked up the telephone, only to see that it was an unfamiliar number calling.
With a puzzled look, he answered the telephone, and heard an old and stern voice from the other end.
"Hello, is this Bai Feng?"
"It's me, may I ask who this is?" Bai Feng asked.
"I am Agatha. I have arrived on Cinnabar Island with my people. Come and meet me!"
Agatha? Bai Feng was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect the person who came to be the strongest of the current Kanto Elite Four.
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll be right there. May I ask where you are?" Bai Feng asked eagerly.
On the other end of the telephone, Agatha told Bai Feng her location.
After ending the call with Agatha, Bai Feng looked at Gastly and said, "The Pokémon League's people have arrived, we can act now."
With a way to back down, Gastly naturally didn't want to continue the standoff with Bai Feng, so it said, "Okay, then let's hurry and go!"
Following the location information given by Agatha, Bai Feng saw the people sent by the Pokémon League for support in a forest on the edge of Cinnabar Island.
Gastly didn't want to meet other people, so it quietly concealed itself.
"You are Bai Feng?" Grandma Agatha looked Bai Feng up and down.
"I am." Bai Feng nodded, "Hello, Agatha."
"Call me Grandma Agatha," Grandma Agatha withdrew her gaze. "Oak said you are Red's younger brother?"
Bai Feng was surprised to hear this, not expecting Professor Oak to have told Grandma Agatha about this matter. He then gently nodded in acknowledgment.
"Not bad, both of you brothers are good."
Grandma Agatha had a relatively strict personality and rarely praised anyone. Hearing her praise Bai Feng now, the Pokémon League officials behind her all showed surprised expressions.
And this young man was Red's younger brother? Was it the Red they knew? No way? His younger brother was found?
The matter of Red searching for his parents and younger brother for so many years was not a secret in the Pokémon League; many people knew about it.
"You flatter me, Grandma," Bai Feng said humbly.
Grandma Agatha didn't waste any more words and then said to Bai Feng, "Alright, let's discuss the action plan."
According to Grandma Agatha's plan, they would split into three groups, heading to the Research Institute, Vincent's Villa, and the Pokémon League officials respectively, to carry out simultaneous arrests.
Bai Feng had promised to go with Gastly to rescue Lapras and the others, so he decided to follow the group going to Vincent's Villa, while Grandma Agatha would go to the Research Institute, which was the main focus of this operation.
At the same time, in front of the Silph Co. Headquarters Building in Saffron City, countless police cars suddenly arrived. Countless police officers quickly got out of the cars and surrounded Silph Company tightly in no time.
For a while, countless citizens gathered below the building to watch the spectacle.
On the top floor of the building, in a luxuriously decorated office, a middle-aged man in a suit was buried in handling documents in his hand. Suddenly, he heard urgent knocking on the door from outside.
"Come in!" he said impatiently.
As the office door was opened, a group of police officers quickly surged in.
"You..."
The middle-aged man's heart sank. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the leading Officer Jenny take out an arrest warrant and say:
"Mr. Hills, you are suspected of being involved with an illegal organization. The Pokémon League is now arresting you according to the law. We hope you will cooperate with our work."
John Hills was silent for a moment, then nodded calmly and said, "Okay!"
Seeing John Hills arrested, there was a lot of discussion within Silph Company, especially among his competitors, who were overjoyed.
However, even after John Hills was arrested, the Pokémon League's blockade of Silph Company was not lifted, and no one inside was allowed to leave without authorization.
Meanwhile, in a Manor in the Suburban Area of Saffron City, the Family Head of the Hills Family, Ryan Hills, was entertaining a suddenly visiting guest.
After seating the guest, Ryan said with a chuckle, "What a rare visitor. I wonder what brings Champion Blue to this old man's place?"
The person visiting Ryan was none other than the current Kanto League Champion, Blue, who was also Professor Oak's son and Gary Oak and Nanami's father.
"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Hills," Blue said, taking out a stack of documents and handing them to Ryan. "I came today to give you something to look over."
Ryan picked up the stack of documents with a puzzled look. After just one glance, his face changed. As he flipped further back, his face became increasingly grim.
"This scoundrel!"
Ryan slammed the documents onto the table with a bang, his face already icy cold. The word "scoundrel" was, of course, directed at John Hills.
"I believe Mr. should already know the whole story, so I hope the Hills Family and Silph Company can cooperate with the Pokémon League's investigation," Blue said.
"Of course, Champion Blue, don't worry. Whatever problems the Hills Home and Silph Company have, the Pokémon League can handle them as it sees fit. This old man will definitely cooperate."
"Master is truly wise and righteous. Blue represents the Pokémon League in expressing gratitude to you," Blue stood up and bowed to Ryan.
"It's all what this old man should do. I have indeed been lax in managing the home these past few years, I am truly ashamed!" Ryan said shamefully.
Bai Feng and their side's arrest operation was also very smooth. Because their actions were quick and hidden, they caught the other party off guard.
When Bai Feng followed the League Special Operations Team to surround Vincent's Villa, Wensen was playing in the swimming pool with some of his mistresses. It wasn't until the noisy alarm sounded from all directions that he ran out in a panic, without even having time to put on clothes.
The task of arresting people was left to the Pokémon League's personnel, while Bai Feng and Gastly went straight to the venue where the Pokémon were being held.
The first thing they did after entering the venue was to destroy all the equipment inside. Otherwise, when they were rescuing the Pokémon, those Pokémon that couldn't be rescued in time would likely be injured by the security measures set up there.
This was indeed the case. The guards in the villa's monitoring room, seeing strangers enter the venue, immediately tried to activate the circuit in the water pool, attempting to threaten Bai Feng and the others by harming the Pokémon.
Unfortunately, all the circuits were completely destroyed by Bai Feng and Gastly using Psychic Power.
Without the threat, Bai Feng and Gastly's rescue of the Pokémon went smoothly.
By the time Bai Feng and Gastly escaped from the venue with the Pokémon, Wensen and his group of lackeys had already been arrested.
When Bai Feng saw him, he was still shouting.
"Why are you arresting me? I haven't committed any crimes! Let go of me, let go of me quickly, or I'll complain about you!"
Just then, Bai Feng suddenly walked over, met his gaze, and said, "Really? You really haven't committed any crimes?"
At this moment, Bai Feng lifted the Psychological Suggestion he had previously placed on Wensen. All of Wensen's memories from last night flooded back at this instant.
"You... you... you..." You are a devil!
Wensen's eyes widened, his lips trembling uncontrollably, but he couldn't say a word. In the end, he could only lower his head helplessly.
The criminal evidence was already in their hands, what was the point of struggling?
After the operation, Bai Feng and the members of the League Special Operations Team escorted the criminals to meet up with Grandma Agatha. Grandma Agatha's side also went smoothly, successfully capturing everyone at the Research Institute in one fell swoop.
"Grandma, what should we do next? Escort the criminals off Cinnabar Island?" Bai Feng asked.
"No hurry, we still have one more place to go," Grandma Agatha said.
"Another place to go?" Bai Feng was puzzled.
But soon he knew the answer, because Grandma Agatha led them to Blaine's Hot Spring House, which was in front of the Cinnabar Gym.
Cinnabar Island had such a big issue, could the Elite Four who had been stationed here for many years really be completely unaware? No one would believe that.
Blaine seemed to have known that Grandma Agatha would come. Before everyone even entered, he calmly walked out first, and he wasn't surprised at all to see the League Special Operations Team surrounding the Cinnabar Gym.
"This day has finally come!" Blaine said with a bitter smile.
"We've worked together for over twenty years. I hope we don't have to resort to force today," Grandma Agatha said with a deep frown, even taking out a Poké Ball in her hand.
"After decades, your personality hasn't changed at all," Blaine shook his head. "I'll go with you, I won't resist."
Just like that, Blaine and a group of criminals were escorted off Cinnabar Island by Grandma Agatha, while Bai Feng and some members of the Special Operations Team remained.
Although all the criminals had been caught, there were still a large number of remaining illegal operations from the Research Institute and Wensen, and the captured Pokémon also needed to be dealt with.
Bai Feng naturally didn't need to help with the remaining problems of the Research Institute and Wensen, Bai Feng stayed mainly to help release those Pokémon.
