Chapter 40 - Chapter 40 Melee

  The battle did not last long. Without the absolute advantage in numbers, the remaining Team Rocket soldiers were completely powerless to resist the combination of the two gym leaders and Qianye.

  The ground was in a mess, covered with traces of erosion by various attributes of energy. As the members of Team Rocket fell one by one, the remaining ones knew that they were powerless to save the situation and could only choose to surrender.

  Nancy's superpowers were as convenient as ever. The captured Team Rocket were spared the tedious steps of tying them up and just turned them into puppets.

  "What kind of Pokémon is that?"

  Looking at the black-armored giant beast in the center of the station, Ma Zhishi's eyes twitched slightly.

  In the battle just now, some relied on their speed advantage to dodge all attacks like a black flash and then kill the enemy quickly, while others could suppress the enemy with their terrifying telekinesis without moving...

  But the shock it brought to him was far less than that of the "war monster" that withstood all the moves and rushed forward as if it was in an empty space, knocking down all those who blocked its way to the ground and making them lose their fighting power with a slap.

  Originally he thought that the little Magnemite was Qianye's strongest force, but he didn't expect that after releasing all the Pokémon, each one was more exaggerated than the other.

  "Kodora is a Pokémon from the Hoenn region. It's normal that you don't know it, Gym Leader Mashishi."

  Qianye answered while stroking the neck of Kuroko, who ran to him to claim credit after defeating the enemy.

  "Don't underestimate me. I'm not that short-sighted." Ma Zhishi looked at the dark armor with a thoughtful look in his eyes. "Although I haven't trained Kodora, I know that its armor should be silver-white. The dark one... could it be Shining Kodora?"

  "That's about right…" He gave a vague answer. In order to prevent the other party from asking more questions, Qianye quickly reminded him, "We are only dealing with some miscellaneous soldiers now. The most important task has not been completed yet. It's not good to chat here."

  "That's true." Ma Zhishi was not someone who didn't know what was important, so he didn't go into it any further. "According to the information I've gathered, Team Rocket should have sent out some cadre-level figures. It's going to be a fierce battle, so everyone must be careful..."

  …

  "Lord Lance, it seems that all the brothers outside have been captured."

  Inside the factory, a tall elite team member in black uniform leaned over slightly and whispered in a low voice beside Lance.

  However, Lance remained calm in the face of this extremely bad news. He just sighed and said:

  "I heard that. Sigh, the young people in Team Rocket are really getting worse with each generation. They can't even handle such a simple task. I don't know what they are spending the boss's funds on."

  Aren't you a young man yourself... Although they complained in their hearts, the elite team members did not dare to say this out loud.

He knew that this officer was recognized by the boss and became an officer of Team Rocket at a young age because of his cruel methods and cold style. Just like now, his tone was still calm, but his eyes were hiding a venomous and cold light.

  "Well, Lord Lance...what should we do now? We've got the stuff anyway, or we should retreat first."

  As they said this, the elite team members subconsciously looked over there at where the people from the Evolution Association were. Only half of the Pokémon that had been delivered had been teleported away, and that group of people probably wouldn't be willing to evacuate like this.

  "No rush. Since the guests are coming, let's prepare the gifts first." Lance said, tossing the Poké Ball in his hand casually.

  "Yes." Since the order had been issued, the elite team members did not insist on their own ideas. They immediately returned to the team and began to prepare after conveying the instructions.

  At the same time, Lance walked to Dr. Shiratani and said in a calm tone: "I'm sorry, Dr. Shiratani, I just received news that the invaders will be here soon... Of course, this is our negligence in our work, so if you intend to evacuate, we will be responsible for escorting you away from here."

  "What?! That won't work. Only half of the materials have been sent back. If I send them back like this, I won't be able to explain to the association!"

  "Hey, don't get excited. I'm only concerned about your safety. Since Dr. Shiratani wants the transaction to go ahead, our Rocket Team will naturally accompany you. I just hope you can be well prepared first, after all..."

  With a fierce light flashing in his eyes, Lance's sight was directed towards the light from the gate. The three figures gradually enlarged and he continued softly, "The guests have arrived."

  He reached out and quickly pulled out the two Poké Balls at his waist. Where the red light flashed, a bat with a huge mouth and two connected purple bloated balls flew into the air.

  "Double bomb gas, poison gas."

  Upon hearing this, the densely packed holes on the purple sphere began to spew out poisonous purple gas, which slowly drifted towards the door.

  As Lance launched his attack, the rest of the Team Rocket Elites and Evolution Association members on the field reacted quickly and released their Pokémon.

  The thick purple fog gradually approached, but before it could cover the intruder, it automatically split in the middle, opening a passage. Three people and a group of Pokémon appeared in front of them, and one of the Alakazams had green light in its eyes, which seemed to be the cause of the ineffectiveness of the poison gas.

  "Nazi, the new gym leader of Golden City, Ma Zhishi, the old gym leader of Dead Leaf City, and a young man...whom I don't know." After listing the identities of the "guests" except Qianye, Lance also understood to some extent why Cricket and his two companions wiped out all the soldiers they had deployed outside.

  Two gym masters... and they are among the strongest ones. The young man has no idea what's going on, but since he can be with these two, his strength must not be simple.

  It's a bit tricky... Lansuo chinned up and thought, originally they only had to guard against Ma Zhishi, and at most the police force of Vermilion City and some investigators of the alliance. Now, they are a little short of manpower.

  "Ouch!"

  The roar of the great wolfhound exploded like thunder, instantly spreading throughout the entire factory, suppressing the momentum of the Pokémon of Team Rocket and the Evolution Association members.

  "Intimidation? A big wolfhound with this kind of qualifications, huh, quite interesting." Lance saw through the source of the invisible pressure at a glance. Because of this, he also knew how rare it was to intimidate a big wolfhound that could achieve this effect.

  As for its owner… the black-haired boy who looked like a rookie, faced with a group of vicious villains on his side, his face showed no fear, not even a bit of nervousness. Interesting! Really interesting!

  "Double Gas, continue to release poisonous gas to interfere. Zubat, sludge bombs attack trainers first!"

  The Pokémon on Team Rocket's side have a large number of Gas Twisters and Gas Eggs. None of them directly releases attack moves at this time, but they all choose Poison Gas like Lance's Gas Twister.

  There was no other reason. They had rich experience in death battles and knew how terrible Psychic Pokémon were in a wild battle without rules, not to mention that it was a Psychic Pokémon of a Psychic Gym Master. Compared to using powerful attacks with a small range, the dispersed poison gas like poison gas can better restrain Alakazam's telekinesis.

  "Alakazam... can't do anything."

  The tactics achieved remarkable results. After Nancy communicated telepathically with Alakazam, she informed the other two of the bad news.

  "Don't worry, leave the main attack to me! Shock the monsters and let them have a taste of your 100,000 volts!"

  Upon hearing Ma Zhishi's order, the two antenna-shaped yellow horns on the electric monster's head began to flash with electric sparks, which soon condensed into shape and emitted golden electric currents.

  But the other side was not to be outdone. Zubat and Arbok fired venom, and several Houndoom spewed hellfire from their mouths. The moves of both sides collided with each other, and there was a stalemate for a while.

  At this moment, following Lance's order, Zubat shuttled through the chaotic energy flow. When it approached Qianye and his group, it spit out a ball of highly concentrated venom from its big mouth.

  Alakazam could no longer disperse the extra telekinesis to stop the sludge bomb from falling, and it was about to fall and explode among the people. At the critical moment, the black-armored beast jumped up and bit off the entire venom ball in one bite.

  He swallowed it without chewing, and a look of disgust appeared in Kodora's eyes: "Keh~ (It tastes so bad.)"

  Although the smell made her feel sick, the poison contained in it had no effect on the steel body. Lance frowned as he watched this scene:

  "Steel attribute? How annoying! This guy won't give you any room to maneuver."

  However, you can block Zubat's attacks in the open, but what about those from the dark?

  Ma Zhishi, who was commanding his Pokémon to fight head-on, did not notice that at his feet, several pools of purple rotten liquid were slowly approaching him.

  These were all stinky muds and stinky muds that had used the "shrinking" move. Their drastic reduction in size made them difficult for ordinary people to detect, making them the most suitable choice for sneak attacks. Even many experienced investigators had fallen into the hands of these inconspicuous little things. This was exactly the gift that Lance had prepared in advance for Qianye and his group.

  If it were an ordinary trainer, he would probably suffer a great loss when facing such a shady trick for the first time. Unfortunately, among the Rockets' opponents today, there is someone who cannot be restrained by common sense.

  Before the shrunken mud could touch Ma Zhishi's thighs, a mental force suppressed them, causing them to scream in pain.

  Frightened by the sound at his feet, Ma Zhishi quickly jumped a few steps away and looked down, only to find several stinky muds and stinky muds with circles in their eyes.

  "Thank you very much." Seeing Nazhi floating in the air beside him with green light in her eyes, Ma Zhishi realized that he was able to escape danger thanks to her help, so he quickly expressed his gratitude.

  However, the girl ignored him and continued to use telepathy to let the Sun Eevee and the Wall Doll build a double wall for defense. The mud just now was just detected by her telepathy and she dealt with it. If they were not fighting side by side, she would not bother to care about the annoying uncle.

  Seeing that the firepower exchange between the two sides has reached a stalemate, and the barriers on this side are gradually being completed, now... a surprise force is needed to break this deadlock.

  Qianye was also very alert at this moment, because next: "Kuroko, Kodora, now is our time!"
