Chapter 216 Golden Chaos
Chapter 216 Golden Chaos
After the meeting, all the investigators at headquarters sprang into action.
As soon as Lu An stepped out of the conference room, he saw Kona walking towards him.
Lu An was somewhat surprised:
"Lorelei? How's Brock? Pitchfork City is under attack by Team Rocket."
Kona nodded:
"Xiao Gang has rushed back to Deep Gray City, but due to Team Rocket's sudden attack, airports throughout Kanto have been temporarily closed. He's only going back by car, so it will probably take him a while."
Besides teaching Pokémon Trainers, the most important duty of a Gym Leader is to protect the safety of their city.
As gym leaders, Sabrina and Brock watched helplessly as the city they were supposed to protect was attacked while they were out. You can imagine how terrible they must have felt.
And what about the Four Heavenly Kings?
As the Four Heavenly Kings who have the authority to act expediently to protect the Kanto region, what about them?
Kona looked at Lu An and smiled slightly:
"Yulongdu needs to stay at headquarters. Grandma Kikuko and Shiba are already on their way to other cities, so I need to set off immediately as well."
Lu An nodded solemnly:
"be careful."
Kona turned and left, waving casually.
"Who am I? I am Lorelei, the Ice Queen. Unless Giovanni comes in person, I believe no one from Team Rocket can do anything to me."
"On the contrary, since Team Rocket has captured Golden City, they must have made ample preparations inside."
"If you enter Golden City, be careful. Don't be like someone who survived Silver Mountain but ended up in Golden City."
Watching Kona's departing figure, Lu An tugged at the corner of his mouth:
"That's really harsh."
But Kona is right. He even came out of Silver Mountain. Even if Golden City is a den of dragons and tigers, he is still going to venture in.
But before that...
Lu An took out his phone and made a call:
"Dudududu..."
No one heard.
With that superpowered protective shield in place, information exchange between Golden City and the outside world was effectively cut off.
"What, worried about your friends at Golden University?"
Lu An turned his head and saw it was Na Zi.
Lu An hung up the phone with an expression that said, "I didn't expect this."
"Your Saffron Goldenrod Gym's psychic abilities are really useful. If this mission ends, can I learn them?"
Sabrina shook her head, coldly retorting:
"You don't have that talent."
Lu An was helpless:
"You're pretty cold-hearted too, even though you're not made of ice."
"Don't worry, even if the Rockets take over Golden City, they'll just control the people at most. They won't intentionally kill anyone. After all, they still need to use lives to threaten the League."
"Right now, they've only taken over Silver Company, and the Alliance has only suffered reputational damage. But if they dare to commit mass murder, the Alliance, once enraged, is not something a single underground organization like them can handle."
Lu An shrugged in response to Nazi's words of comfort.
What Naz can guess, he can naturally guess as well.
So even though he made a phone call to Imai, he wasn't actually that anxious.
"They've already prepared the car, let's go."
"it is good."
......
Golden City, Golden University, Basketball Gymnasium.
Gōsuke and Mutō were squeezed among a group of students with their hands behind their heads.
These students had one thing in common: their faces were filled with fear and apprehension.
Because on the first and second floors of the basketball court, there were more than a dozen men wearing the same black uniforms.
They held cold, hard guns in their hands, and were accompanied by threatening Pokémon such as Arbok and Weezing.
Every step they took brought a wave of unease to the students.
Gōsuke huddled next to Mutō, shrinking back as he said:
"Muto, they won't kill us, will they?"
For some unknown reason, this group of Team Rocket members suddenly stormed into Goldenrod University, using Pokémon and firearms to herd many students into the basketball gym for unified custody.
Even at Golden University, the percentage of people who are passionate about competitive gaming is not very high.
Although Muto was a combat enthusiast, he knew perfectly well that the group of guys in front of him were no pushovers.
They are just delicate flowers, who can enjoy the sunshine and rain at will. They are not on the same level as the fierce trainers of Team Rocket who have fought their way up from the bottom.
When a student tries to steal the spotlight when confronted by Team Rocket, they are immediately knocked down, and the remaining students naturally dare not resist anymore.
It was under these circumstances that Gosuke and Muto were driven into the basketball gym.
Muto gritted his teeth, feeling quite humiliated.
Seeing that his roommate was ignoring him, Gangjie sighed:
"I don't know if it was only Golden University that was attacked by Team Rocket, or if Team Rocket appeared somewhere else as well."
"I wonder where Xiao Anzi has gone."
"But Imai went to see his dad, so he should be safe, right?"
First, he worried about his two other roommates, but when he saw the Team Rocket members pointing their guns at him, Gangjie immediately lowered his head, thinking to himself:
Someone please save us!
......
Golden City, Silver Building.
"Go, go over there and stand in a line!"
One of the roommates that Gon was worried about, the handsome and almost otherworldly Imai, was supporting his balding father and huddled together with the other Silver employees.
Imai looked very unwell. He had only accompanied his father to Silver Company today and never expected to encounter the Rockets robbing the company!
It's important to know that Silver, as a behemoth company in the Kanto region, has its own security system!
But Silver Company was like a beautiful woman who was completely unguarded against thugs, letting the Team Rocket members barge in!
"Do you know what you're doing? This is a crime! The Alliance will not let you get away with this!"
Some employees who harbored resentment towards the Rockets stood up and tried to criticize them.
"Boom!"
Blood splattered on his face, and Imai's handsome pupils shrank drastically to the size of pinpoints.
The Silver employees, who were initially filled with righteous indignation, fell into a pool of blood with disbelief on their faces, causing the other employees to cower in fear even more.
"Whoo~"
The man who shot and killed the employee slowly walked forward.
He was wearing a white uniform with the letter "R" embroidered in the upper left corner, which was out of place with the black uniforms of ordinary Team Rocket members.
He bowed respectfully to Imai and the others.
"My name is Apollo, and I'm a member of the Rockets' management team."
“That person just said that we are committing a crime, but I don’t actually think so.”
Apollo smiled slightly, appearing very polite.
Despite the recent example, no one would truly believe he was a gentleman.
"Our Rockets are a very rule-abiding organization. We simply want to use some of your company's data to create a better future."
"But the road to a better future is always winding, and sometimes we are destined to encounter some untimely obstacles."
"For this better future, our Rockets organization has to remove these obstacles."
Apollo slowly rose to his feet:
"Furthermore, you should not even dream of the Alliance coming, because they are in dire straits themselves right now."
"Of course, if they come, our Rockets team would be happy to play along."
"But before that, I hope that everyone in Silver will submit to the management of our Rockets and help us create a better future."
Thank you all.
Looking at Apollo, whose expression remained calm, even carrying a slight smile, yet whose eyes were extremely cold and ruthless,
Holding his father in his arms, Imai felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly by a large hand, and he felt a suffocating despair.
Surrounded by the Rockets, inside the cold concrete buildings of Silverford, who can save them from their predicament?
