“Giovanni!”
The Lusamine family of three, far away in Alola, clenched their fists tightly.
That man was the one responsible back then…
Lillie and Gladion focused their gazes mainly on Giovanni.
Lusamine, however, glared more intently at Zinzolin, who was behind and to Giovanni's right.
Giovanni was certainly hateful, but Zinzolin, who betrayed her, deserved to die even more!
“Hmph hmph hmph~ Well said, Archer.”
Under the world's attention, Giovanni stepped forward and sneered.
“Team Rocket's… leader?”
Agatha frowned, questioning.
Giovanni, wrapped up like a dumpling, allowed others to barely see one of his eyes between the high collar of his black cloak and the lowered jazz hat.
But that terrifying aura, and the respectful manner of the Team Rocket members behind him…
Although Agatha wasn't as enthusiastic about cracking down on criminals as Lance or Lorelei,
she remembered all the Team Rocket members who were on the wanted list.
And within Team Rocket, the only one whose face wasn't printed on the wanted list, but who was designated as an SS-class wanted criminal alongside the Shadow Triad leader,
was the Team Rocket leader!
This group of Kanto elite trainers who frequently dealt with Team Rocket quickly guessed his identity.
“Heh heh~ Indeed, it is I.”
Giovanni said with a smile, “However, that is only until today.”
Saying that, Giovanni extended his right hand, which was originally in the pocket of his cloak, and pointed at Joker, “From today onwards, Joker is the king of our Team Rocket! I am merely acting on behalf of the king.”
Joker: ???
Wait, the king of a criminal organization?
This title sounds familiar.
At this moment, Ghetsis, who was in a secret base in Unova, saw Giovanni's statement on TV, and his eyes lit up.
His inspiration was ignited.
…
“First, let's gather all the remaining Legendaries into our grasp, and offer them as a salute to the birth of the king.”
Saying that, Giovanni slightly turned his head, locking his gaze on the Legendary birds protecting Death Gold, and the Legendary titans surrounding Ardos.
“Stop them!”
Drasna's idea coincided with Lance's at this time, “We must not let the Legendary birds and the Legendary titans fall into Team Rocket's hands!”
Even if Death Gold and Ardos escape, even if they escape with the Legendary birds and the Legendary titans, it doesn't matter.
Without Dark Lugia, Shadow is at most a “somewhat troublesome wanted criminal”.
But if these Legendaries are obtained by Team Rocket… to give an analogy, if the Pokémon League is the World Government of the Pokémon world, then Team Rocket, having obtained these Legendaries, will directly upgrade from a Yonko crew to a Rocks Pirates crew!
The threat is too great.
Even if the League covers for Shadow's escape, it must never let the Legendaries fall into Team Rocket's hands!
“Not let them? Heh heh~ Do you have the ability?!”
Saying that, Giovanni took out a Poké Ball from the pocket of his cloak with his other hand.
“Flint! Let's stop him together!”
Volkner turned his head and shouted at Flint.
As soon as the words fell, Flint's Infernape strode forward, ready for battle, while Volkner's Bronzong opened a huge Reflect and Light Screen dual barrier.
The moment Giovanni's left-hand Poké Ball automatically opened.
A trail of light suddenly reached Infernape, who had just taken two steps.
“What!?”
Volkner's eyes widened, and his Infernape's pupils also shrank suddenly.
Vaguely, Infernape only saw that afterimage pass by his shoulder, and then a weapon that looked like a spear, with a horizontal slashing trajectory, fell swiftly and unmatched on the back of his neck.
Thud—!
Instantly, Infernape, who was hit on the back of his neck, flew out like a ball, crashing into a rock a hundred meters away, shattering the stone.
“This!?”
Volkner's expression changed drastically.
But before he could react further.
That afterimage had passed by his side, breaking through the surface with a point, striking the dual barrier created by Bronzong with one blow.
Tzz~
A tooth-aching collision sound rose.
Crack crack~ Crack crack~!
With the point of attack as the center, cracks spread rapidly, like a dense spider web.
Finally, it shattered completely with a “pop” sound.
Everyone then saw the true face of the “yellow flash” just now.
A, Beedrill!?
Trainers all over the world, especially those elite trainers who held the starter Pokémon, or even pseudo-Legendary Pokémon.
Only felt that their world view, which had been established up to now, had collapsed.
The speed and attack power just now, could a Beedrill achieve that!?
Far away in Sinnoh, Darkrai, who was fantasizing about forming a team of mythical beasts, and who had just been irritated by Archer, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and murmured in self-comfort:
“No, no, it, it must only be the speed that's okay, Beedrill is a trash Pokémon that can be found everywhere, no matter how strong it is…”
Darkrai hadn't finished the last two words.
“Take one down first.”
As Giovanni's voice fell, Beedrill had already crossed the shattered barrier, less than ten meters away from Death Gold, who was being protected by the Legendary birds.
And at the tip of Beedrill's right arm needle, a deep purple venom had surged.
Poison Jab!
Tzz… Puff!
The venom was injected into the flesh through the tip of the stinger, blood flying, but it was not Death Gold, but the darkened Articuno that was his mount.
“Eek——”
Articuno, in pain, cried out.
Losing balance in mid-air, it was about to fall, and Death Gold on its back was also thrown out.
Seeing this, the darkened Moltres next to him quickly rushed over to catch Death Gold, replacing Articuno's duty as a mount.
And Articuno crashed into the mountain wall next to him like a kite with a broken string, and then drew a distance on the 45° mountain wall, landing in front of Joker.
Everyone was shocked again.
Not only did he defeat the Legendary Pokémon Articuno, but he also accurately chose the landing point in front of Joker.
That Team Rocket leader… is not simple!
“Come on, Joker, no… our Team Rocket's new king.”
Although Giovanni's face was covered by the high collar and jazz hat, anyone could hear the smile in his tone.
Joker was inexplicably speechless.
When he played games in his previous life, he felt that N's title of “King of Team Plasma” was very chuunibyou, and even a little funny.
Not to mention that your so-called king was created by Ghetsis to "hold the emperor to command the princes."
Besides, what kind of king does a criminal organization have?
Isn't this just like a bunch of students at Blueberry Academy in Unova creating a Elite Four?
It feels like playing around.
But let's not mention these for now.
Joker took out another Poké Ball with his left hand wearing the mechanical arm, just like before.
The moment the mechanical arm took the ball, a mysterious rainbow light flashed on the arm, merging into the Poké Ball in the palm.
The Capture Device, Su Sheng's new invention.
The Poké Ball held by this thing will be given a special power that can ignore the target Pokémon's captured restrictions.
It is precisely because this thing is like Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit, and its ability is too unreasonable.
After thinking about it, Su Sheng felt that it would be better to use it as Joker.
“Stop!”
Seeing that the Poké Ball thrown by Joker was about to fall on Articuno, Cynthia, who had just handcuffed Aethelthas, waved her hand.
Garchomp, who had just been slapped away by Walking Wake's tail, shot forward, and its body ignited with blue flames during the sprint.
Turning into a roaring azure dragon.
“Isn't the two rounds of competition just now enough for you to realize the gap between us? Cabbage.”
Joker turned his head slightly.
Walking Wake took two steps, and its thick tail ignited the same azure blue flames, and its eyes were full of disdain.
Come on~ I'll use Dragon Tail to slap you away like trash!
“The power of teamwork can narrow the gap.”
Diantha shouted delicately.
At this time, everyone realized that behind Garchomp's burly body, Gardevoir was lying prone.
Because the Fairy-type is immune to Dragon-type moves, although she was covered by the aura of Dragon Rush, she was not harmed.
Garchomp rushed to Walking Wake with the momentum of Dragon Rush, and Walking Wake also twisted its waist, and wanted to swing its thick and powerful dragon tail.
However, at the last moment when the two sides were about to collide.
Garchomp suddenly disappeared in place.
Walking Wake's Dragon Tail missed, but the Dragon Flame that was drawn out was like a sword qi, passing between Cynthia and Diantha on the opposite side.
After a cracking loud noise, the Dragon Flame struck the mountain wall behind the two future female champions, cutting open a large cut.
However, if you don't hit it, no matter how big the momentum is, it's meaningless.
Boom——
Almost at the same moment when the mountain wall behind the two women was cut open.
Garchomp, carrying Gardevoir on its back, appeared behind Walking Wake, and Dragon Rush hit Walking Wake's back.
Hit by a move with a suppressed effect, Walking Wake staggered two steps without falling down.
Its eyes sharpened and it opened its mouth to release a high-pressure water column with strong heat.
Steam!
Whoosh!
This combination disappeared for the second time.
The steam brushed past the hair on the top of Joker's head.
Splitting the mountain wall behind Joker in two!
“Moonblast!”
“Draco Meteor!”
Diantha and Cynthia shouted at the same time.
Their trump cards, this time appeared on the left rear of Walking Wake!
“What a perfect combination!”
At this time, the surrounding people also saw the trick.
The reason why Gardevoir was lying on Garchomp's back was to be able to take Garchomp with her when using "Teleport".
This combination is just like the combination of Onoki from the neighboring Naruto film set lying on the back of the Fourth Raikage.
“Flame Charge”
Joker said indifferently.
Whoosh whoosh——
The flames on Walking Wake's body erupted, forming a huge semi-circular flame shield, guarding itself within.
Rumble rumble!
The dual attack of Draco Meteor and Moonblast fell, producing an indescribable storm, crushing everything around into powder.
“What kind of defensive move is that!?”
Diantha raised her hand to block the flying flames and shouted in shock.
Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~ Boom!
But answering Diantha, there was only the familiar sound of the Poké Ball capturing successfully.
The faces of the two future beautiful champions changed again.
Although the flames blocked their sight, they could guess what this sound represented——
Joker has captured Articuno!
At this time, the semi-circular flames gradually dissipated.
What came into everyone's eyes was a Pokémon that looked very similar to Entei, but with ridges growing on the top of its head and back, and a mutated Entei like the mutated Suicune just now named "Walking Wake"!
At this time, the flames produced by Flame Charge fell on the bodies of Garchomp and Gardevoir.
Both of them showed unusually painful expressions.
They were burned!
“The combination attack just now was really good,”
Joker turned the Poké Ball containing Articuno, turned to face the two women, and said quietly:
“However, after teleporting just now, the attack target should have been changed to me, so you could use me to threaten Team Rocket, right?”
“We are not as despicable as you Team Rocket! Creating such things to steal other people's Pokémon!”
Diantha, who was facing Joker for the first time, shouted indignantly.
Tsk~ Sure enough, using this thing will face moral condemnation like this.
“How naive, future Kalos League Champion,”
Joker chuckled:
“I advise you, if you want to protect your hometown, it is best to temporarily put down your actress work, and concentrate on Pokémon training, and learn how to recognize people.”
Thinking about it carefully, Kalos performed the worst when all regions were harmed by criminal organizations.
Although there was a mole within the League, the main reason was that the League's overall strength was too frustrated.
Although other regions have also faced extinction, they at least solved it themselves.
Only Kalos, Blue came to save them in the manga, and Steven came to save them in the animation, tsk tsk~ embarrassing.
“I don't need you to teach me!”
Diantha waved her hand unwillingly.
Gardevoir, who was enduring the pain caused by the burn, raised her hand high, and the Moonblast, which concentrated more power, fell like a mini version of the Gaia Energy Cannon.
Burns will affect the Pokémon's movements, causing the power of close combat physical attack skills to be greatly weakened.
But Gardevoir is a special attack Pokémon, so it is not greatly affected.
“Go, Sky-Rending Flame.”
Hearing the master's order, the mutated Entei named "Sky-Rending Flame" stepped into the air to meet it, with a fierce momentum.
Boom——
Sky-Rending Flame ignited flames on its body, easily hitting through the Moonblast under Gardevoir's full attack.
Flare Blitz!
When seeing Sky-Rending Flame falling like a burning meteorite.
Compared with the main force of other future champions, Diantha's Gardevoir, who has not yet reached the champion level, panicked and fell directly from Garchomp's back.
And Sky-Rending Flame propped its two front paws on the ground, and the lion's head burning with raging flames stopped less than five centimeters away from the Psychic Queen's face.
“I'm returning the favor for not launching a direct attack on me just now, don't be so naive next time.”
Joker waved his hand, turned around with Sky-Rending Flame and walked to the other side of the battlefield, adding in his heart when leaving, "I was originally planning to release him in advance."
…
“Gardevoir, don't move, I'll help you heal.”
Diantha stepped forward quickly and took out a bottle of Full Restore and sprayed it on Gardevoir's burn.
Cynthia also squatted down to give Garchomp emergency treatment.
“Cynthia, what should we do? With our strength, we can't…”
Diantha pursed her lips and looked at her best friend who was even stronger than her.
Cynthia, who was applying medicine to her Garchomp, turned her head to look at the man at the edge of the battlefield, who was standing next to a Bewear and accompanied by a large dog.
"Although I'm very sorry to say this, we can only rely on him now."
......
......
"I've disliked you for a long time, and although I'd like to take this opportunity to kill you, I'm busy right now. Could you please get out of my way? Champion Lance."
Giovanni put his hands back into his pockets, looking impatiently at the Flying-type Champion who was protecting the petrified body.
"Forget about Shadow; concentrate all combat power on dealing with Team Rocket!"
Lance didn't immediately respond to Giovanni's words but turned back to issue this order that he himself found shameful.
The meaning behind these words was, "Shadow, you guys run! We'll hold off Team Rocket!"
Just as he had thought before.
Even if Shadow escaped with the remaining Legends, it would be better than letting Team Rocket seize them.
"How embarrassing. Oh, right, I remember now. Chairman Goodshow seemed to be planning to promote you as the new Champion of the Indigo League at this year's Indigo Plateau Conference, right? With your performance in this war, are you even worthy of taking that position?"
Giovanni needed some time to defeat Lance with only one Beedrill.
He hoped to use trash talk to provoke a flaw in his opponent.
Of course, he might have just wanted to insult him.
"As the leader of Team Rocket, you actually abdicated your position to your subordinates. It seems I overestimated you before."
Lance pointed his right hand towards the sky.
Two Dragonair simultaneously released Dragon Twisters to disrupt the wind direction in the high sky, hindering Beedrill's movements.
And Lance wasn't willing to be outdone in throwing trash talk.
"Heh~ With excellent juniors around, there's nothing wrong with this old man retiring early. On the contrary, I'm very worried about the future of the League, that it would actually let a piece of trash like you be its face."
Giovanni indicated that Lance's trash talk was utterly substandard and didn't hit any of his sore spots.
"You don't need to worry about the League's future; in any case, you have no future!"
Taking advantage of the two Dragonair disrupting Beedrill's movements.
Dragonite used Extreme Speed to strike Beedrill.
Even if it was nurtured by Giovanni to break through racial constraints.
But in the end, it was still just a lightweight Pokémon weighing just over 60 pounds.
Enclosed by the Dragon Twister turbulence created by his two Dragonair, it drifted erratically in mid-air like a drunkard.
Let's finish you off with this move, you trash leader of Team Rocket!
Whoosh—
While approaching Beedrill at Extreme Speed, Dragonite also spat out Flamethrower.
Before the Flamethrower could hit Beedrill, Dragonite itself had already plunged into it at Extreme Speed.
Dragonite wouldn't use Flare Blitz, but through the combination of Extreme Speed and Flamethrower, it created a move similar to Flare Blitz.
Let's decide the battle with this move!
Boom—!!!
Burning with fierce flames, under Lance's wholehearted nurturing, its size was almost times that of an ordinary Dragonite, its weight reached nearly twice that of an ordinary Dragonite, rounding up, it probably weighed nearly a ton.
It crashed into Beedrill, and from afar.
It was no different from a dump truck crashing into a person.
The League trainers and the audience in front of the TV cheered at this scene.
"He hit! Champion Lance's Dragonite hit that Beedrill!"
"Idiot! You should call him Champion Lance!"
"That's right! Although his performance was a bit unsatisfactory before, the opponent is a Legend after all. If he can defeat the leader of Team Rocket, Mr. Lance is completely worthy of the Champion position!"
"Well done! That must have hurt!"
And Lance also showed a smile.
Next, he could switch the target to Jo…
However, just as Lance thought this, his expression suddenly changed dramatically.
Because from between Giovanni's high collar and jazz hat, he vaguely saw.
The almost imperceptible arc of the corner of the other party's mouth raised slightly.
"Mr. Lance, have you ever heard of the name Aptx4869?"
Giovanni asked with a smile.
I originally thought about changing the update time to see if I could attract more readers, but it seems to have failed. The comments and votes are pitifully few. Starting tomorrow, I'll go back to the previous update time. I also ask you big brothers to cast some votes. It's useless for readers, but it's a great encouragement for the author. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I would also like to thank the many readers such as Little Chicken Bipi 1, Canned Leek Fish, and many others for their rewards. I will add an extra chapter tonight.
Please don't dislike it, because this book has no saved drafts, and it was written by the author working overtime at full power.
