"You really aren't pretending at all, Rockets executive Natsumi."
Ze Shu looked at Nazha, who was sitting on the metal table with her slender legs crossed and her flat chest held, and couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.
Naz laughed:
"Your disguise is really ugly!"
"It makes me feel nauseous."
"Besides, now that you're here, isn't Apollo doomed? Please: pretending is exhausting. Or are you just too weak, investigator, to capture that annoying Apollo?"
Why is it that Nazja, as soon as she came up, was jumping around and mocking like a little devil?
Ze Shu shrugged and said, "Maybe?"
Naza scoffed and sneered, "You weren't this unsure when you stabbed me."
Ze Shu chuckled: "It's alright, considering you were completely powerless to resist back then."
Will this stab really be something that Naz will remember for the rest of her life?
"snort..."
Sabrina glared at him angrily, then turned and said, "Come with me. Now, with the help of this 'Sleeping Beauty' who 'repays evil with kindness,' Apollo will be powerless to resist."
Ze Shu hummed in agreement, then asked:
"You know the specifics now?"
Sabrina snorted and simply said, "Remember, you're wearing a Team Rocket soldier's uniform now, you're my subordinate. So—"
"Show some respect to me, your boss!"
"Don't speak!"
She emphasized the word "boss".
Ze Shu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and said:
"OK."
"I'd like to see what you're up to."
He fell silent as well.
As they walked slowly along this area, which was clearly the center of Team Rocket, they passed several employees who seemed to be doing maintenance work. These employees lowered their eyes and brows when they saw Nazja, which showed that Nazja had a lot of authority here.
The sounds of fierce battle between Wataru and Apollo could be heard outside, and the base could be felt to tremble intermittently.
There are very few people left in this base.
The options are either to flee for your life or to become cannon fodder in the battle between Wataru and Apollo, rendered incapable of fighting.
In the end, only Naz was left to lead them on their way.
Ultimately, after crossing countless thresholds and going around in countless circles.
Naza led Zeshu and Xiaolan to a heavy door. The door seemed to be full of energy, with the lock emitting blue light and connecting to the inside. It was clear that this was an important door.
If it weren't for Natsume, Zeki definitely wouldn't have been able to find this place anytime soon.
"That's the key to turning Apollo into a 'useless man'," said Natsumi.
Ze Shu asked, "Where's the key?"
Naza chuckled, "What key? Do I need that?"
After saying that, she activated all her superpowers, and super energy burst forth as if it were materialized.
With a loud "boom," the incredibly thick door dented in the center and then burst open, revealing the azure scene inside.
The door was blasted open by Sabrina using her superpowers.
"Isn't that enough?"
Sabrina tossed her hair and smiled:
"After all, Apollo hid the key better than anything else."
"Alright, go in."
Ze Shu chuckled, "Okay."
"Ha ha ha ha
"Have you witnessed the power of this 'divine beast' I created?"
Apollo stood on the top floor of Team Rocket's base, fiddling with the "wired controller" in his hand, and shouted this cheerfully to Lance above.
"cough.."
Wataru's face was cold, seemingly unconcerned about Apollo's words, but the Dragonite he was riding barely managed to avoid another electric current, and it swayed precariously amidst the torrent of flames and lightning.
In the sky, the large, red and yellow two-headed bird was so conspicuous.
The flames and lightning it emitted were so intense that they could not be ignored.
Du had to admit it.
He was at a disadvantage.
Not to mention that this is Apollo's territory. In the battle against him, his Team Rocket soldiers were merely "cannon fodder" in front of Lance.
However, cannon fodder also serves to delay things.
Moreover, it must be said that, in the face of this "dual sacred bird".
Apart from the two Hakkarosaurus.
Du also found himself at a disadvantage due to his attributes.
Dragons are naturally resistant to fire and electricity, but...
In particular, his Gyarados was caught off guard and took a violent thunderbolt from the head of the opponent's Zapdos. Its body was instantly electrified and it could not fly. Lance had no choice but to recall his Gyarados.
Furthermore, the opponent's "Dual-United Sacred Bird" was extremely violent, and this chaotic spirit kept surging into Wataru's mind, which possessed the power of Tokiwa.
This threw his thoughts into disarray;
But Apollo could control this ferocious "dual sacred bird" with unparalleled precision, as if playing a game.
It can disregard its injuries and launch a frenzied attack despite Du's onslaught. Moreover, this bird has an incredibly tenacious vitality, and Du's blood transfusion is no match for it.
Watari saw the key point -
The "handle" in Apollo's hand.
But he was powerless to do anything about it at the moment.
Apollo kept a close eye on the remote control. Although he appeared arrogant, he was cautious in his actions. Any attempts by Rangdu to break the remote control or launch a surprise attack on Apollo were prevented.
such.
The opponent's "Double Sacred Bird" became more and more powerful with each attack.
However, Lance's Pokémon got more and more injured the more they fought.
This is the situation.
The final outcome inevitably tipped the scales of victory in favor of Apollo.
We cannot afford to waste time and energy.
But he had no choice but to wait it out.
This made Rangdu feel a little anxious.
"Could it be that guy really thought this was just a random Team Rocket base?"
Zeshu walked through the tattered door that Naz had made.
The most secret at the heart of Team Rocket's base, which also came into view, was that the space was very empty, containing only a spherical device and an energy transmission pipe connected to the device's outer shell.
Inside the spherical device, however, floated a small, pitted...
Stone?
No, it should be a meteorite.
Ze Shu thought for a moment, then turned his head to look east and west. He saw Naz, who was clearly there for the first time as well, and asked:
"What do you know? Now you can tell me..."
Sabrina said, "Do you see that deformed bird outside? It's raging, but Apollo has it under his control all along."
Ze Shu hummed in agreement and said:
"Normally, such a berserk Pokémon would not be able to execute its trainer's commands perfectly."
Naz smiled and said, "So..."
She looked up at the spherical device.
This device visibly generates energy, which is then transported out through pipes, its destination unknown.
"This is the key to controlling that deformed bird."
Ze Shu walked towards the sphere, asking, "So what is this sphere, and what is this meteorite inside?"
Naza shook her head and said, "I only know a little."
"You can look up this meteorite; it was involved in the damage to the Hoenn Green Moss Space Center a while ago. I'm not entirely sure, but I suspect that's where the meteorite came from."
"And along with this meteorite came..."
"What I found out is a technology called '∞ Energy,' which can be extracted from Pokémon's bodies. It seems to be something Devon Corporation used to make their fortune. But Team Rocket stole some of the technical data."
"However, the Rockets used this technology very poorly; they spent a lot of resources and only achieved this much."
Naza crossed her arms and continued nonchalantly.
"Just destroy this sphere."
Little Blue, who had been silently following them, tapped on the outer casing of the device and asked in confusion:
"You just said that this is a technology that extracts energy from Pokémon's body. If this device is really extracting this kind of energy and transmitting it to the outside world..."
"And inside this ball..."
"Shouldn't it be Pokémon?"
Naza said matter-of-factly:
"How should I know!"
"Even superpowers can't detect it."
"Maybe the technology for transmitting energy isn't this kind of '∞ energy' at all. I just knew that Team Rocket recently acquired these two items from Hoenn, and that's how I came up with this idea."
Ze Shumei suddenly asked Sabrina, "How many meteorites did Team Rocket acquire?"
Naz said, "I don't know, since I don't participate in these experiments. Anyway, I know there are at least two. Otherwise, they wouldn't have used this meteorite to consume energy if there was only one."
After saying that, Naz turned her head and looked at the sky in the distance before smiling and saying:
"Speaking of which..."
"If you, the investigator, don't take action and destroy this device..."
"The reinforcements you summoned, that 'Dragon' series king, are about to collapse."
"Oh my gosh—Is this your trump card, Aerodactyl, Sky King? This ferocious ancient overlord is truly threatening. Its sharp stone attack even twisted the wing of my 'divine beast'."
"But unfortunately..."
"It's nothing special!"
"One scald and one numb from my flames and you're dead. Elite Four member, do you need Team Rocket to provide you with another Aerodactyl? This one's useless now, so let's find another one."
As Apollo finished speaking.
With a mournful cry, the fossil pterosaur plummeted from the sky.
Its ferocious face twitched with electricity; the rocks on its body seemed to have melted considerably, making it appear extremely wolfish and fox-like.
Apollo was trying his best to mock the "hero" who had caused the most damage to his "Double Bird".
He's a master of trash talk.
He only says a few words, but if the other party gets really angry, he'll make a fortune.
And indeed, with the fall of the fossil pterosaur...
Apollo noticed that Du had lost his focus for a moment, and the two Hakkar dragons looking around him also paused.
He chuckled:
"Now!"
The death of the fossil pterosaur was not enough; he wanted to press his advantage and pursue the enemy further!
To give it my all.
Although such behavior can sometimes lead to disaster, it can also bring unexpected surprises, such as when he arrested the Heavenly King.
This is how Apollo does things!
Otherwise, why would he have made such a "grand show" when he was commanding operations in Yuhong City?
"snort!"
Apollo felt angry just thinking about the incident in Yuhong City.
It just so happens that the man standing in front of him is one of the two investigators who thwarted his plan!
And now.
That will be the time for him to redeem himself and atone for his crimes!
By capturing this new generation of renowned Dragon-type Elite Four member and creating such a powerful "divine Pokémon," Boss Giovanni will definitely value him even more and transfer him back to headquarters in Celadon City, giving him greater command authority!
Then, at that time, there was more than just this one crossing.
He also needs to find the other investigator and avenge himself!
He holds grudges!
He held a grudge: the investigator who was with Wataru in Yuhong City. Although he didn't know the investigator's name and his appearance was obviously disguised, Apollo remembered the investigator's voice perfectly!
If this investigator speaks to him again, Apollo will recognize him immediately.
Then..
hum! !
Complex thoughts can vanish in an instant.
Apollo had already raised the "wired handle" he had been gripping tightly—a wire connected from the bottom to this handle.
The continuous supply of energy is why Apollo never left the Rockets' rooftop;
The handle has a blue-glowing sphere at its center, which indicates that the handle has plenty of energy.
present.
Taking advantage of the moment when Du was distracted, Apollo raised the handle high.
The blue light suddenly intensified.
"With such abundant energy, I'm going to take this opportunity to give you, Heavenly King, a big one!"
"Narutoichi—!!"
As Apollo moved, the "Dual Bird" in the air suddenly cried out, and its two heads simultaneously gathered and scattered flames and lightning.
These two energies suddenly intertwined, mutually reinforcing and clashing with each other.
A surging momentum is gathering.
This is a much more powerful move than before!
Du seemed to sense the threat of this energy and looked up, but upon seeing the situation, his expression froze. The energy had already gathered, seemingly ready to erupt at any moment, and he appeared to have no time to dodge...
Apollo grinned broadly.
When masters clash, every moment of distraction is extremely serious, and he wants Du to experience the consequences!
He could already imagine it...:
Imagine the scene where Lance, under Lance's attack, is severely injured, and the Dragonite and Dragonite that were protecting him are both seriously wounded. Then, Lance, who has no ability to resist, kneels down in front of him!
"Hehehe..."
But with his arm raised high, he didn't notice that the blue bead representing energy on the handle suddenly began to flicker slightly, and as it flickered, the blue light representing energy gradually dimmed.
And the dimness of blue light.
The "Dual-Bird" that had been accumulating energy for their moves became restless and let out angry cries.
Apollo stared intently at Watanabe and exclaimed excitedly:
"Gush forth!"
"Engulf him with fire and lightning!"
".......
"Um?"
Why is there no movement?
Apollo paused, his gaze shifting from Du to the ground, and looked up in confusion.
He then set his sights on his "divine beast".
The Zapdos and Moltres, sharing the same deformed body, did not obey his control to unleash their energy. Instead, they suppressed their frenzied energy, their eyes bloodshot, and with difficulty turned towards Apollo's direction, their eyes meeting his.
And the frenzied energy floating around them changed with each turn.
That's exactly who it is!
A terrifying energy fluctuation, met with that red, frenzied, and hateful gaze.
Apollo felt a chill run down his spine.
"Varied...."
"Why are you looking at me! I am the creator who transformed you into this form with such immense power! You must obey my orders—attack him, attack this person!"
Apollo frantically pointed the handle at the other side of the river.
However, the blue light on the controller he was holding dimmed, and as the "Yu" prompt faded, the light on the spherical device on it suddenly intensified before going completely dark, turning into a gray sphere.
"This, this..."
Apollo chuckled, looking incredulously at the energy that had turned completely black.
Accompanying this darkening energy was an out-of-control roar that made his ears ring, and a terrifying beam of energy, as distorted as the energy itself, reaching right in front of him.
"Mirai—!!!"
Flames were mixed with lightning, and lightning was intertwined with flames.
It instantly engulfed Apollo.
"Forehead...""
"Uh...uh cough..."
An overwhelming, excruciating pain struck.
The mournful cry of Houndoom and the painful scream of Weezing came from nearby.
Apollo felt that his reaction was already very quick.
Just as the energy wave was about to arrive, he snapped out of his daze, released a Poké Ball, and sent his Houndoom and Weezing in front of him to shield him from the inexplicable attack.
Despite the resistance from other Pokémon, Houndoom also has the Flash Fire ability.
but.
"leg..."
"Why can't I feel anything?"
"No, my lower body feels completely numb."
Apollo felt a sharp pain in his lower back—no, an intense, excruciating pain. Although the rest of his body ached, the pain in his lower back made him subconsciously ignore it.
Listen to the uncontrolled bird cries that continue to echo in the air.
At that moment, Apollo had only one thought in his mind.
This ungrateful bird not only failed to thank Dao for making them so powerful, but also attacked it; this attack will certainly not be the first time, and Dao will be able to withstand the next attack.
What should I do?
What should I do?
Shouldn't we practice or we'll die?
Apollo didn't want to die.
Suddenly, Dao heard footsteps "thump, thump, thump" behind him.
Apollo recognized the sound: it was the sound of the Rockets' standard-issue shoes.
A surge of hope welled up in Daoding's heart.
With great difficulty, he opened his seemingly leaky mouth, straining with all his might, and managed to utter a gurgling sound:
"Hurry...hurry."
"To move...the lawsuit...to...move...the..."
Daoben meant to say, "Transport it to a safe place."
He couldn't finish his sentence, but he figured this Rocket Team minion should be able to understand Dao's meaning—Apollo, for one thing, considered himself to be very good to Dao's underlings.
but.
"Oh? Dizzy? Dizzy what? Are you going to be knocked unconscious and thrown off this building?"
"Oh dear, isn't this Lord Apollo? You look quite disheveled."
Apollo thought he was just a minor player on the Rockets, but he spoke in a mocking tone.
Despite the teasing tone, Apollo's eyes widened in shock. He was utterly stunned, ignoring the excruciating pain and shortness of breath, and abruptly raised his head, his voice trembling and hoarse.
"You...you are..."
"Search, search..."
With his mind still a bit foggy, he vaguely caught a glimpse of the true face of this "team Rocket minion," but after just one glance, he knew it was a disguise—because it was so ugly!
But the voice is exactly the same.
Apollo was absolutely certain.
After the confusion was confirmed, Dao's eyes gradually turned from bright to despair.
"It's good that you know, but you don't have to say it out loud." Ze Shu looked down at Apollo's appearance and said, "But judging from your expression, I'm afraid you can't say it anyway."
"You, you..."
Apollo murmured.
But in the remaining, blurry distance, they found a "lifeline" on the empty Team Rocket rooftop—Sara! She seemed to be crossing her arms...
Nazi is leaning against the top floor staircase exit!
"Save... Naci..."
"Help...."
Dao shouted with all his might.
Naza said to Zeshu, "Why haven't you killed this guy whose lower body is charred black yet? He's yelling at the top of his lungs, doesn't he find it disgusting?"
The officials all found it disgusting.
Anyway, there's no one around here.
Sabrina doesn't need to pretend anymore—just as she said, pretending is exhausting. She pretended to be a good girl a lot when she was little, and now that she's joined Team Rocket, whether she's in the undercover league or the undercover Rockets, she has to keep pretending.
She seemed to be thinking of Qingxia: she didn't want to pretend anymore and wanted to pursue what she wanted.
For example, what Zeshu mentioned before about Pokémon Hollywood?
Naz is quite interested in giving it a try.
But if that's the case, it seems...
It seems that this future "Pokémon Hollywood star" has a lot of "dirt" on her that can't be exposed, and it's in Zeki's hands.
Thinking of this, Naz didn't look at Ze Shu, narrowed her eyes, and gave a soft snort.
Ze Shu looked down at Apollo, whose eyes suddenly widened in shock after hearing Sabrina's words, and chuckled.
"Kill them?"
"Investigators don't practice intentional killing."
"But, it can still cause dizziness."
In Apollo's state, knocking the Dao unconscious and leaving it there is almost the same as killing it.
But what about the pipes?
What's more important now is not Apollo.
Ze Shu slowly picked up the baseball bat, and with a swift motion, the bat fell. With a "thud" and a slight cracking sound, Apollo's eyes rolled back before he could even close them, and he lost consciousness.
"Is he dead?" Naz asked Yu.
"It should be: like death," Ze Shu replied.
Apollo's current state suggests that it is pushing the physical limits of "humans" in the Pokémon world.
Half alive, half dead.
But now something more important...
Zeshu looked up at the sky, where Zapdos and Moltres were still deformed and fused together. Although they hadn't attacked Zeshu yet, they couldn't suppress the ferocity in their eyes.
I felt a bright blue Poké Ball swaying slightly around my waist.
"throat..."
"Did you see that?"
"If the gang hadn't ganged up on you back then, you might have become one of them too."
Ze Shu spoke so softly.
Just then, a whooshing sound came from the side, and a chubby, bright yellow dragon appeared in front of Ze Shu, waving its fat claws to greet him.
Even as it crossed the river on its back, it smiled but said nothing:
"I knew it would be better if you didn't practice something so simple..."
"What nonsense! What did you mean by 'a member'?"
Ze Shu glanced sideways at Du, pointed at the birds in the sky, and smiled more:
"Once you join, you'll be someone who can beat you to a pulp."
"You agree, right?"
"Articulated Bird".
He gently tossed the Poké Ball in his hand, and White Joe flashed...
A bright blue, soft-feathered Articuno, in good spirits, appeared beside Ze Shu. It hooted crisply, seemingly agreeing with Ze Shu's words—though it didn't understand what Ze Shu meant.
but,
Articuno couldn't help but look up at the "Double Sacred Bird" in the sky.
A ferocious face, a frenzied expression, and a deformed body.
"If it weren't for Zeju, it probably would have really joined in," Articuno truly believed. So at this moment, the resentment it had previously felt towards Zeju for using Pokémon to gang up on it without any sense of honor transformed into an emotion called Qingpu.
It celebrated: the bushes had ganged up on it.
"Sound."
Articuno lowered its eyes and gently nuzzled the tree as a sign of its gratitude.
Zeshu likes to rub it so much, so it must like this rubbing against it.
"Let's take it slow this time later...::"
Ze Shu chuckled.
"Crossing."
"You can still fight, right?"
Wataru snapped out of his daze from his close relationship with Sawaki's Articuno, and upon hearing Sawaki's words, he also gave a soft "hmm," seemingly still reeling from the news that "Sawaki had captured Articuno."
Dao also understood Ze Shu's meaning.
Regardless of whether Articuno, when added to this "two-in-one legendary bird" to become a "three-in-one legendary bird," can still be used in battle.
But even if you replace Articuno with Moltres, it will probably be difficult to win!
The current strategy hasn't yet resolved the weakness of Ice-type attacks. But this only strengthens Lance's resolve to solve this problem; otherwise, he won't just fail to get past Lorelei in the Championship...
The police officer looked at Ze Shu.
I'm afraid even at the level of an investigator, Dao wouldn't be able to get past Ze Shu, this iceberg.
While Hun Du was watching Ze Shu, he was actually observing the "Dual-Unity Sacred Bird" in the sky.
Without Apollo's control, the two birds went berserk, clearly their minds were no longer aligned—Motorosaurus's flames injured Zapdos, and Zapdos's electricity also struck Motorosaurus.
"This should be easy to solve."
Ze Shu rubbed the Articuno beside him and said, "Heal."
"I promised you the Team Rocket base, but it seems you didn't even need to lift a finger to take down the Team Rocket leader. So now, could you do me a favor and rescue your two comrades?"
