Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 421 Killing Intent Revealed, Reshiram VS Beedrill?!

"Buzz..." (How strange, why do I have a feeling that there are other Pokémon here?)

Beedrill is of a very high level and has very keen senses.

With so many Pokémon around it now, it's impossible for it not to feel anything.

"I feel that way too? But why can't I see anyone else? Could it be that there's a Pokémon that can turn invisible?"

Banmu rested his chin on his hand, his gaze sweeping around as if trying to discern something.

Unfortunately, even with the help of Victini, both Ito and Beedrill only felt a slight difference.

That's the bug with Bictini.

Unless a legendary Pokémon personally arrives, in most cases, no Pokémon can counter its abilities.

The Pokémon remained silent.

Banmu and Beedrill showed no intention of leaving; they stood quietly in place, like statues, utterly silent.

A few more minutes passed.

Tread...  

Banmu didn't close the door; instead, he left directly.

The bee followed closely behind it, never leaving its side.

The Pokémon exchanged glances, and Terrakion nodded, leading the way.

"Stop! Don't move. I know you're there. Come out now, and I won't hurt you."

They had only taken a few steps when half of Banmu's face emerged from the shadows.

"*%&"

Victini was about to run away when Gallade grabbed her.

"This is an attempt to lure us into revealing ourselves. Don't rush, don't panic. This person is extremely cunning; Li Xuan learned his treachery and cunning from him."

Gallade uses its psychic powers to remind the Pokémon.

Derakion instantly dissipated the energy that was about to condense on his body, and stared at Banmu across the air to see if the other party was bluffing them.

as predicted.

Banmu stayed for another five minutes before locking the back door and returning to the upper floor.

Beep beep, ding~

Itagi left.

Li Xuan's Pokémon have nowhere to go.

"Who was that guy just now? Why is he so strong? Especially that Beedrill, apart from Reshiram, none of us are a match for it."

Deraquion exhaled a breath of stale air.

To be honest, it was quite scared just now.

His plan was to ambush Itagaki, even if it meant trading his life for his.

But if the opponent blocks it, Reshiram might have to be used right at the start of the game.

"What can we say now? That guy is gone too, and we don't know where the lab is."

Delacion was rather reckless, and he usually either paved the way or listened to others' actions.

It's practically impossible to make it use its brain in a situation like this.

"Strange drink." (Let's climb layer by layer, leaving no stone unturned. It might take a while, but it's the safest way right now.)
This is the opinion given by Guai Li.

Nobody knows which floor the Rockets' laboratory is located on.

Moreover, they had no way to use the elevator, so they could only climb up floor by floor to search.

Very reasonable.

"Ailu." (Yes, that's the only way. But climbing up layer by layer is really tedious and time-consuming.)
Gallade agrees with but doesn't quite agree with this method.

"Bini?" (Big brother Gallade, do you have any ideas?)
Victini, seeing that Gallade was implying something, quickly pressed for an answer.

"Gallant." (Yes, I do. My current idea is to split into two groups. We have two Pokémon that can make people invisible, right? Meloetta will lead one group, and Victini will lead the other. I just don't know how long Victini's buff stacking time can last.)
Gallade's idea is simple.

Since we have two Pokémon that can make people invisible, why not start searching from the top floor while simultaneously searching from the bottom floor?

This is more efficient.

That might help us find the location of the lab faster.

"Bini." (It's actually quite difficult for me to bring someone else into stealth mode. It's not impossible, but you can only bring one person at a time.)
Bictini has some skill, but not much.

The buff can last for a long time, but if you want it to make someone invisible, one buff is already the limit.

"Ael." (One person is enough. Then come with me. I have near-Champion strength, and even if we encounter that Beedrill, I can escape unscathed.)
Gallade has decent mobility.

At least when facing Beedrill from Giovanni, if you have Victini's buff, you can teleport away instantly.

"Bini." (I agree, then it's settled! Let's go!)
Victini stuck to Gallade.

Then, everything spun around.

call out!
Gallade arrived at the familiar rooftop.

"You came."

An elderly man was sitting on a sofa on the rooftop.

The old man was none other than the former president of Silver Society.

They are now trapped on the roof of the office building and unable to go out.

The recent surge of superpowers alerted him to something, and he initially thought it was Team Rocket arriving.

As a result, there was nothing.

"Sigh, the Silver Company I built from scratch has ended up like this. I should have trained more Pokémon..."

President Silver was very remorseful about this.

"If someone is destined to save me, I can give them shares in Silver Company, even if they only want them."

The current president can only pray for divine mercy, that, given his immense contributions to humanity, the Silver Corporation won't become Team Rocket's new base.

"Bini." (Hey Gallade, what's that equity stake?)
Bictini asked.

"Ailu." (This equity refers to the comprehensive rights that shareholders enjoy in a company based on their investment or acquisition, including the dual rights of property income and participation in management.)
Gallade knew a bit about this thing and gave a fairly detailed explanation.

"Bini?" (What does that mean? I don't quite understand.)
Bictini scratched his head.

"Ailu." (That means you sleep every day, and when the time comes, you can collect your money.)
Gallade chose a more colloquial explanation.

"Bini!" (Oh, I see! How much are the shares of this company worth?)

"Ailu." (Well... anyway, it's worth a lot of money. Just your little island, not even counting the buildings, just the island itself. If I had a 10% stake, buying it outright wouldn't be a problem.)
Silver Company's position in the world is unshakeable.

As a world-class company that owns the patent for manufacturing Poké Balls, it is the very foundation of the entire Pokémon world.

If the Rockets were to breach such a foundation, the consequences would be dire.

That's why President Silver sighed so deeply.

Not only will all their efforts go to waste, but they'll also have to hand over the entire company to the Rockets as a free gift...

Despicable, cowardly scoundrel!

Rockets, you deserve to die!

"Bini." (So much money! That means they can eat all-you-can-eat barbecue whenever they want!)
Victini, having spent the last few days with Dream, learned about all-you-can-eat barbecue and became quite envious. So its first thought was, "If I had that many shares, wouldn't I be able to eat all-you-can-eat barbecue every day?"

"Ailu." (You can interpret it that way, right? Well, with all that money, you can afford to eat something even more luxurious than an all-you-can-eat barbecue.)
I've tried all-you-can-eat barbecue a few times, but the taste was just so-so.

I don't know why Dream and Victini would want to eat these.

"Bini." (It's alright, it's alright, let's go rescue him!)
As he spoke, Victini wanted to go and save President Silver.

But that's it.

Sudden changes occur.

buzzing...

The familiar sound of flapping wings rang out.

Gallade grabbed Victini to prevent her from being threatened.

then.

Itagaki led Beedrill into the office, looking at President Silver with a cheerful smile.

"President, have you considered what I'm about to say? This is an extremely profitable venture. If we cooperate, we will have control of the world. I think the Silver Corporation has grown so large simply to monopolize the world's resources, right?"

Itagaki sees President Silver as someone like himself.

To control the world, you must hold everything firmly in your hands.

"You and I, though our paths may differ, ultimately lead to the same destination."

"What you want is a throne forged in money, but what I want is power that even divine beasts must bow down to."

"I don't believe your nonsense! You cowardly coward, I've built Silver Corporation into such a large company to benefit humanity! The Poké Ball factory needs employees, and I've built the company so big to provide them with good jobs!"

President Silver never considered himself to be the same kind of person as Sakaki.

In his eyes, that man was nothing more than another greedy capitalist who exploited workers in sweatshops and tortured Pokémon with battle experiments, every coin stained with filthy slime.

His own ledgers are always spotless, and he also provides 30,000 jobs in the Kanto region.

And they donate money from time to time, which makes them entrepreneurs.

They were never meant to be together from the very beginning.

"Heh, what a high-sounding excuse."

Itagaki laughed sarcastically.

"Which world-class company wasn't built on a foundation of bones?"

"At least I dare to take responsibility for my actions. But what about you, dear president? Do you really think that champagne can wash away the bloodstains behind the financial statements?"

"Alright, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. Now hand over all the core technology behind the Masterball to me, and I'll spare your life. Moreover, I can give you a chance to cooperate."

Itagi extended another invitation to President Silver.

But this is the last time.

"No way! Don't even think about Masterball!"

It's impossible for President Silver to agree to hand over the core technology of Masterball to the Rockets.

This is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin.

Even if the league understands his predicament afterward, the number of Pokémon injured by the Rockets' Master Ball during this period is absolutely astronomical!

"Heh, it's not up to you. Since you disagree, don't blame me for being impolite."

A cold glint flashed in Sakaki's eyes, and he tapped his fingertips lightly, revealing his killing intent.

The bee's compound eyes flashed crimson, and its twin stingers pierced the air, bringing with them a pungent, venomous stench.

The edge of death was just inches away from Silver's photographic throat!
hum!
Gallade's arm blades suddenly drew from their sheaths, and as the blue light flashed, it had already wrapped around the president's waist.

Space distorted and fluctuated under the influence of superpowers, and the poison needle pierced through, shattering only a fleeting afterimage.

The dust settled ten meters away, and President Silver disappeared.

At the tip of the bee's stinger, a drop of venom fell to the ground, emitting a bluish smoke.

"Ok?"

Giovanni frowned, completely surprised that a Pokémon could rescue the person he wanted to kill right under his nose.

"Oh no! The laboratory!"

Suddenly, Banmu thought of the laboratory.

After all that had just happened, he also ordered his men to destroy the data as quickly as possible.

But the problem is coming.

Since a Pokémon was able to rescue President Silver, it means that it wasn't just this one.

The saying goes well.

When you find a cockroach in your home, it's likely that in some unknown, dark corner, cockroaches have already become rampant.

It also fits the current situation.

Banmu was a man of action; after thinking about this, he took the elevator directly to the middle floor.

Silver Company, fifteenth floor.

This is the floor where the laboratory was built.

Not too high, not too low, just the right level.

While Giovanni was preparing to take action against President Silver, Meloetta and other Pokémon had already gathered here.

Countless Pokémon were rescued, and Team Rocket members tried their best to stop them, but a large number of them were knocked down by Terrakion's horn.

By the time Banmu arrived at the laboratory, the entire floor was in a terrible state.

The Pokémon were rescued, but some of the experimental data remained intact...

Swish!
A cold glint appeared.

The Poké Ball on Giovanni's waist shot out, and Persian slashed angrily to the side, the black light deflecting and neutralizing the water blade.

"Ailu." (Tsk, not bad reflexes.)
Gallade broke out of stealth and took several steps back.

The Pokémon no longer concealed themselves and revealed their true forms.

"As expected... you are Li Xuan's Pokémon! However, even the Forsaken isn't here. Do you think a group of Elite Four level Pokémon... no, most of them aren't even Elite Four level, can be my match?"

Banmu sneered repeatedly, while Beedrill and Cat Boss unleashed their full power.

Battle against legends and champions!

It's not that Giovanni is exaggerating; there's only one Persian, a champion-level Pokémon, and with its strength, it could easily overwhelm all the other Pokémon present.

"Ugh." (That's right, we're definitely not as strong as these two Pokémon. Even if Forsaken were here, I wouldn't be a match for Beedrill.)
Guai Li nodded without any attempt to hide his agreement, clearly agreeing with Banmu's statement.

"Buzz." (Leave now, and no Pokémon will be injured. Otherwise, you will all die.)
Beedrill was radiating the unique aura of Dragon-type energy, a precursor to the Outrage move.

Clearly, they intend to start killing right away.

"Strange shout." (You're dreaming! Is it possible that although we're no match for you, it doesn't mean we don't have outside help!)

After Guai Li finished speaking, the memorial ball landed on the ground.

boom! ! !
Azure flames erupted.

A giant dragon, its face covered by pure white wings, slowly descended.

Banmu: ?
Li Xuan actually teleported Reshiram back?!
