Chapter 170 "Handsome Researcher: Look, you're in a hurry again."
"The world lines are converging! Red, Green, and Blue—all three main characters have appeared! I have a feeling! A big scene is about to unfold!!!"
"Nonsense! Can you tell me something nobody knows? I'm actually looking forward to seeing the Rockets' star player finally make his official debut!"
"It has to be a handsome researcher! He said he sensed some kind of guidance, but he's openly helping us. Every time we meet, he gives us something!"
"So the Rockets' original purpose in attacking Goldenrod City was to obtain Silph Corporation's Master Ball manufacturing technology. Thank goodness they failed!"
"The last mission? Judging from the handsome researcher's tone, I have a feeling it's not that simple. Besides, do we really need all three main characters to appear to deal with the leader of Team Rocket?"
"Ah, right, right, right!"
The live stream was flooded with comments, so fast they were almost invisible, and the number of viewers exceeded 300 million, creating an extremely enthusiastic atmosphere.
However, Red and Ash had no time to pay attention to the comments.
While Ash was still processing the information after hearing the task assigned by the handsome researcher, Red confidently patted his chest and agreed.
"Leave it to me! I guarantee the mission will be accomplished! I'll make sure the Team Rocket leader surrenders!"
He spoke with absolute certainty, his tone even revealing a pent-up resentment that had been building up for a long time: a pent-up frustration that had finally found an outlet.
The main problem is that Sakaki has been putting too much pressure on Akatsuki these past few days, bombarding him with all sorts of theories, tactics, and power analyses, which has given him a headache.
As a normal man, Chi Hong desperately needs a satisfying battle to release the pressure he has accumulated.
The task assigned by the handsome researcher will most likely require a direct confrontation with Team Rocket's leader, Giovanni.
He didn't want to miss this opportunity to openly "defy his superiors" and vent his frustrations.
Besides, he has the right to be confident.
Putting aside the fact that he was involved in resolving the Team Rocket attack in Goldenrod City in reality, although the process was quite complicated.
Besides, it's just a game!
Even if Giovanni is incredibly strong in the game, it's still a fake character.
Even if it's Masaki, he's still a defeated opponent!
It is expanding red.
"Me too!"
Seeing that even Red was so confident, Ash immediately declared that he was fearless and his blood was boiling.
Although he had never met the leader of Team Rocket, he had plenty of experience dealing with those three rascals. He figured that no matter how strong the leader was, he shouldn't be any more difficult to deal with than Weezing, Arbok, and Wobbuffet.
The handsome researcher seemed "moved" by their fearless spirit, and a look of satisfaction, "the younger generation is truly formidable," appeared on his face.
"Handsome Researcher: Great! Very good! Very energetic! Now I'll explain the mission to you in detail!"
"Handsome Researcher: According to my latest intelligence, the Rockets' leader is currently in the rooftop meeting room, threatening the CEO of the Silph Corporation to hand over the core technology of the Master Ball. Your objective is to defeat the Rockets' leader and successfully rescue the CEO of the Silph Corporation!"
"OK! Let's not delay! Let's set off now!"
After hearing the mission summary, Red controlled Little Red and pulled Ash towards the elevator, but was stopped by the handsome researcher.
"Handsome researcher: Look, he's in a hurry again."
He made a "please calm down" gesture and continued to explain patiently.
"Handsome Researcher: The entire Silph Corporation building is now completely occupied by Team Rocket. Elite Team Rocket members are heavily guarding the elevator entrances and stairwells on every floor, making it extremely difficult to break through!"
"Handsome Researcher: So if you take the conventional route and fight your way up layer by layer, it's not only extremely dangerous, but also incredibly time-consuming! Once Giovanni realizes something's wrong and manages to evacuate with the technology and hostages, the mission will fail!"
"Handsome Researcher: Therefore, I suggest you take a different approach. Ride your flying Pokémon from outside the building to the rooftop, and then break through from top to bottom! This way, you only need to break through the guards on the top platform to get straight to the heart of the enemy! This is the fastest and safest route!" "Little Green: I have no problem with that. The tactical choice is very reasonable and the most efficient."
Xiao Lü, who had been quietly listening with her arms crossed against the wall, nodded slightly, briefly expressed her support, and then turned around and walked straight out of the building.
The action was swift and decisive.
"Little Blue: Hmph. — At least you said something sensible."
Little Blue snorted, seemingly annoyed that Little Green had agreed first, but she turned around and followed.
But as soon as she took her first step, she suddenly stopped, turned her head sharply, and glared angrily at the handsome researcher.
"Little Blue: Wait! We've all gone up for the raid, what are you doing? Just sitting here watching?!"
"Handsome Researcher: Cough—Don't worry about the details."
The handsome researcher was about to laugh it off when he noticed that Xiao Lan had clenched her fists, as if a "million-ton punch" was about to hit him in the face, so he quickly changed his tune.
"Handsome Researcher: Back up! I'll stay here to provide backup! And wait for the Alliance's follow-up support! Once Officer Jenny and her main force arrive, I still need to explain the complex situation inside the building and your operation plan to them! This is very important logistical work!"
Xiao Lan snorted again, looked him up and down with a suspicious gaze, but ultimately said nothing more and turned to quickly chase after Xiao Lü.
Seeing this, Red and Ash were about to follow immediately, but were stopped again by the researcher.
"Handsome Researcher: You two, wait a minute."
He reached into the inside pocket of his white coat, fumbled around, and pulled out a high-grade ball.
Then he took Xiao Chi's hand and solemnly placed the high-grade ball in his palm.
"Handsome Researcher: This Pokémon—I'll leave it in your care for now. It should be able to help you."
His tone seemed to carry a subtle, complex emotion. He paused, then added another sentence.
"Handsome Researcher: There's one more thing, remember, no matter what, prioritize protecting yourself and avoid getting hurt."
Red and Ash stared blankly at the cool Ultra Ball in Red's palm.
They never expected that the handsome researcher would suddenly entrust them with a Pokémon at this critical juncture.
But before they could even summon their characters to check, the handsome researcher had already shoved them without saying a word.
They were signaled to hurry up and catch up with Little Green and Little Blue, who had already walked out the door.
Upon arriving outside the headquarters of the Shiruff Corporation, the first advance support force of the Alliance had already arrived.
Officer Jenny and her companions are efficiently subduing the scattered Team Rocket members on the streets with their Growlithe and Arcanines, and are also evacuating the residents of the surrounding area in a tense but orderly manner.
Little Green and Little Blue, who were in the open space, saw Little Red and Little Ash coming out and nodded to each other.
"Little Green: You're too slow, don't hold me back."
"Little Blue: We're out so late, did that smooth-talking guy try to trick you guys again? Honestly, he's completely unreliable when it matters."
As they spoke, they almost simultaneously pulled a high-end ball from their waists and tossed it gracefully into the sky!
Two high-level balls bounced gracefully in the air, converging with dazzling red light, revealing the silhouettes of two enormous and magnificent legendary birds.
Accompanied by a chilling aura of ice and a burst of golden lightning, it suddenly appeared in the open space in front of the Siluf Corporation building!
It's Articuno and Zapdos!
"Huh? What... what's going on?!"
Crimson was completely dumbfounded, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg.
I completely don't understand why Articuno and Zapdos are here, and why they were summoned by Blue and Green! How annoying!
Do these two have some kind of secret with Articuno and Zapdos?
Crimson thought of the two feathers in her backpack, and her frustration intensified.
No! Why should I?!
Decided!
I'll go meet them in person after the live stream ends!
After Articuno and Zapdos appeared, they naturally noticed Red and Ash below.
They seemed to remember their previous experiences fighting side by side (or being beaten up), and happily descended together to get closer.
Articuno affectionately nuzzled Red's cheek with its icy beak.
Zapdos calmed the electric arcs leaping around its body and patted Ash's shoulder in a friendly gesture with its wing.
"Haha, long time no see, Zapdos!"
Although Xiaozhi was somewhat surprised, he was carefree and didn't think too much about it.
He was filled with the joy of reuniting with old friends, scratching the back of his head and grinning foolishly, looking very happy.
After exchanging greetings...
Articuno and Zapdos then returned to Blue and Green respectively, behaving obediently.
Little Blue leaped lightly onto Articuno's broad, cold back.
Little Green deftly flipped over and mounted Zapdos, seemingly unaffected by the tiny arcs of electricity surrounding him.
The live stream chat instantly erupted in excitement.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! What's going on?! Why are Articuno and Zapdos following Blue and Green???"
"Wow! That's incredible! Articuno just fought alongside Red and the others not long ago! Not to mention Zapdos, who acknowledged them after being defeated! Does this make sense? It doesn't!"
"Stop with the hype! This is clearly pure love! Watch the previous live stream recording carefully! Zapdos explicitly rejected Red and Ash's invitation, only giving them a feather! Articuno's collaboration was purely a temporary partnership based on mutual benefit!"
So the ones who truly forged a deep bond with them, and who were willing to follow them, were always the little blue and little green working hard behind the scenes!
"None of that matters! All I want to say is—Team Rocket's boss is going to be in big trouble! Articuno and Zapdos are here, all that's missing is Moltres! With the three legendary birds assembled, I have absolutely no idea how they can lose this round! Hahaha!"
Little Blue has Articuno, Little Green has Zapdos, and Little Red and Little Ash have Pikachu—everyone has a bright future.
"Little Green: There are useless people among us, but I won't say who they are."
At this moment, Crimson wanted to ask something more, but Green, riding on Zapdos's back, lowered its head and showed an extremely impatient look.
"Little Green: Stop dawdling, you're wasting time."
Xiao Lü's cold and slightly disdainful urging successfully shut down the question that was about to come out of Chi Hong's mouth.
Then, his attention inexplicably focused on the high-grade ball in Xiao Chi's hand, which had been entrusted to him by the handsome researcher.
and many more!
Could it be that...
Probably not.
The Pokémon that Brother Bai Zhou specifically entrusted to him.
As if guided by some unseen force, he manipulated Little Red to forcefully throw out this heavy, high-level ball!
The advanced ball traced a beautiful arc in the air before shattering and bouncing away!
Boom 1?
A powerful heat wave instantly spread out from the point of impact, causing the surrounding air to distort slightly!
Immediately following was a clear cry that pierced the sky, carrying an aura of holiness and majesty!
Amidst the dazzling red light, blazing orange-yellow flames shot skyward!
Then, a huge bird appeared, its feathers like burning gold, its posture incredibly majestic and awe-inspiring.
Suddenly it spreads out its burning wings, covering itself with raging flames like a cloak, and makes a grand entrance!
It is the sacred bird that wields fire in the legends of the Kanto region.
The last of the three sacred birds.
Moltres!
"Holy crap! There are cheaters!!! Guys, there are cheaters!!! I'm not playing this game anymore! (Slams keyboard)"
"Molotov Cage??? The handsome researcher Tofu's Pokémon is actually Molotov Cage??? What kind of divine assistance is this!"
"Hahaha! Who just said we were only missing a Moltres?! Prophet! Knife! Now all three legendary birds are truly gathered here! How are Team Rocket bosses supposed to fight? This is the most awesome game ever!"
"Who just said that Red and Ash only have Pikachu?! Stand up! Doesn't your face hurt?! If you talk nonsense again, I'll break your legs!"
(Inflation)
"The Three Legendary Birds! It really is the Three Legendary Birds! Mom, I'm crying! This lineup is too dreamy!"
"About the incident where I played Pokémon but all my teammates started with legendary Pokémon."
Just like the explosive barrage of comments, Red and Ash in front of the screen were also plunged into immense shock and disbelief.
"It really is a Moltres."
Chi Hong subconsciously swallowed, feeling a dryness in her throat.
This surprise is just too big!
"Hello Moltres! I'm Ash! Nice to meet you!"
Ash, on the other hand, remained as fearless and enthusiastic as ever.
Excitedly, Ash moved forward to greet Moltres.
Moltres tilted its head and glanced at him, then looked at the dazed Red, and finally nodded in approval.
After a brief moment of shock and excitement, Crimson quickly calmed down, and reason regained control of her mind.
A strong sense of unease welled up inside me.
He opened this game room.
The game difficulty he chose was, as everyone knows, extremely easy.
In the real-world event, when Goldenrod City was attacked by Team Rocket, the three legendary birds appeared as hostile units controlled by Team Rocket using a special device.
But now, with the "help" of the handsome researcher, they have all become powerful teammates.
This benefit is so good—it's a bit too much.
Based on his understanding of Bai Zhouge's game design philosophy—that he always pursues a combination of challenge, balance, and drama—he understands that Bai Zhouge's game design philosophy is based on the idea of a combination of challenge, balance, and drama.
It's highly unlikely that he would provide such a configuration, which is almost like an "official cheat" and completely eliminates the suspense and fun of the battle, under a "very simple" difficulty level.
So, there's only one truth!
His bloodshot eyes sharpened as he stared intently at the towering, cloud-piercing Hilluff Company building on the screen, a building that seemed to conceal endless danger.
Rockets!
There are still experts!!!
