The dream of becoming a Pokémon master

"Mewtwo!" Kyosuke shouted!

Mewtwo didn't react at all and simply disappeared behind the iron gate.

The iron gate began to slowly descend.

Kyosuke only caught a glimpse of Mewtwo.

"Mewtwo? You named that thing? Haha, that's pretty good. Looks like you two know each other?" Giovanni sat on the stone chair on the high platform, looking down at Kyosuke.

Ignoring Sakaki's sarcastic remarks, Kyosuke tried to rush through the iron gate.

"It must be you, the little guy who stole the badge a few months ago." Sakaki wasn't angry that Kyosuke ignored him; instead, he grinned wickedly at Kyosuke. "Because of you, I've been brainwashing it relentlessly these past few months to get it to obey me again! Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Kyosuke froze, his charging body instantly still.

The iron gate was once again closed tightly.

"What did you say?" Kyosuke stared intently at Sakaki.

Giovanni ignored Kyosuke's gaze and spoke calmly: "Some people think they're heroes, that they can easily save other Pokémon. But they don't realize that by thinking they've saved others, they've actually plunged them into a more painful situation. The hero, of course, doesn't know that kind of pain; he's just congratulating himself on his greatness."

"Kids should do what kids should do." Giovanni said, standing up from his chair and walking to the edge of the platform. "You took the Viridian Badge from me? Then let's have a gym battle. Let me test your skills and teach you what it means to do what kids should do."

"I can feel it," Kyosuke said in a low voice.

"What did you say?"

"Then let's fight!" Kyosuke roared. "Once I defeat you, nothing will stop me!"

"Kyosuke, apart from that mysterious Pokémon, there aren't any other strong opponents in this gym," Gary, who was lying in Ash's arms, reminded him in time.

Hearing Shigeru's words, Sakaki scoffed, "You think those two were at my level? They really were just kids."

"Go, one-horned rhinoceros."

"It's you I choose, Assassin! Use the water cannon!"

"Angle drill".

The one-horned rhinoceros possessed a speed that belied its robust physique, swiftly dodging the water cannon and charging at the spiny ammonite with its horn.

"Roll away to avoid it!"

"Can you dodge it?"

After special training, the Omastar Assassin has become quite proficient at Roll. As soon as Kyosuke uttered the first word, he had already used the Roll skill.

However, the rhinoceros also accelerated and directly predicted the rolling trajectory of the spiny omanid. If the assassin hadn't slowed down in time, he would have been killed instantly!

"You actually dodged it?" Sakaki's voice was filled with surprise, but he quickly masked it. "A powerful ramming."

"Roll the water gun! Let's go head-to-head!" Kyosuke's voice grew louder and louder, as if he wanted to tear the roof off!

In the arena, following the commands of their trainers, the two Pokémon charged toward each other!

The already disproportionately large rhinoceros was even faster, its astonishing aura seemingly about to materialize!

The spiny Omanyte was enveloped in rushing water, which reduced friction and allowed its rolling body to accelerate once more!

Two Pokémon of vastly different sizes collided violently!

As a Ground-type gym, the Viridian Gym naturally has a very sturdy field, but it still cracked inch by inch when the two Pokémon collided!

"Corner drill." Sakaki's voice was devoid of any emotion.

"brine!"

The current standoff prevents the assassin from dodging the horn drill, and Kyosuke can only pin his hopes on the salt water skill, which might have a surprising effect!

The horn drill accurately struck the spiny Omanyte, slamming it into the wall. Due to the unusually large number of spikes, the assassin couldn't even escape.

But the salt water also hit the one-horned rhinoceros precisely!

"Did Kyosuke lose...?" Xiaoxia asked.

"Even the villainous suke..." Satoshi was a little incredulous.

Brock, however, noticed something amiss based on his experience as a Rock-type Gym Leader: "Look closely! Rhyhorn is also..."

Before he could finish speaking, the one-horned rhinoceros also collapsed.

"The recoil damage from the Slam amplified the Saltwater, which is why we lost," Brock explained to Misty and Ash.

"Come back."

"You did very well, assassin." Kyosuke recalled his Omastar, but his heart felt even heavier.

He had only managed to subdue the ground-type monster left, the fossil helmet Blackstone, but it didn't have much combat power.

If the next Pokémon is also a Ground or Rock type, then Water and Grass types are four times weak to it. If...

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

Kyosuke is in dire straits.

Sakaki looked at Kyosuke's serious face with extreme coldness: "If that was your trump card, do you still have a way to deal with this guy? Go, Drillhorn Rhinoceros."

The evolved form of the One-Horned Rhinoceros, the Drillhorn Rhinoceros, has arrived!

Upon landing on the battlefield, everyone below felt the ground tremble!

That kind of imposing aura is like that of a Pokémon of the Elite Four!

And who should I choose?

"Are you going to forfeit?" Giovanni's imposing aura seemed to amplify Rhyhorn's power, making it impossible for Ash and his friends to look directly at it.

Kyosuke raised his head and shifted his gaze from the rhinoceros to Sakaki; the collision of their eyes felt like sparks were about to fly.

"Withdraw? Are you talking about yourself?" Feeling the vibration of a Poké Ball, Kyosuke understood the other's intention. "Go, Charizard!"

Charizard has arrived!

The only hope is to use that one move!

"A Charizard that's clearly exhausted and about to collapse, and a trainer blinded by rage. How do you think you're going to beat me?"

Whether it was his imagination or not, Kyosuke felt that there was a passion in Sakaki's words that he was about to lose control of.

"A million-ton punch!"

"Pitch on Earth!"

This is Kyosuke's last move!

The Rhinoceros charged toward the Fire-Breathing Dragon, gathering power in its fists, and the earth began to tremble with the frequency of its running!

The fire-breathing dragon flapped its wings and roared as it flew toward the rhinoceros!

Just as they were about to meet, Giovanni recalled the Rhinoceros.

The Charizard, having exhausted its strength, continued to rush forward due to inertia, eventually stopping just before crashing into the wall.

"Are you trying to run away?!" Kyosuke shouted.

Sakaki had already turned to leave when he heard Kyosuke's words and chuckled, "I'm not like you kids, with so much time and energy."

After saying that, he continued walking towards the back of the dojo.

"You're the leader of Team Rocket, right? I'm definitely going to report you!" At the last moment, Kyosuke finally pieced everything together!

The initial reports of Team Rocket attacking Tokiwa and Giovanni being seriously injured were all false! Giovanni is the real mastermind!

"What are you saying, Kyosuke?"

"That can't be right, he's Giovanni."

Both Ash and Gary were stunned by Kyosuke's words.

"Don't always think you're the only one in the world who knows the truth. Being self-righteous is a sign of being a child." With those words, Sakaki disappeared.

"Wait!" Kyosuke called out as he ran towards the platform, recalling his Charizard. "Sakaki, you're not getting away!"

With a powerful leap, Kyosuke landed on the platform and continued running towards the back, unexpectedly exiting the dojo.

A helicopter was flying away into the distance in the sky, and Kyosuke was certain that Sakaki was inside!

"Old man, please help me again..."

"That's enough, Kyosuke!" Shigeru, dragging his injured body, grabbed Kyosuke's hand that was holding the Poké Ball.

"You're not usually this impulsive, what's wrong with you?!"

Kyosuke's hand froze.

Why do I get impatient whenever I think about Mewtwo?

Perhaps it's because if even this agreement can't be kept, then there's no point in talking about anything else.

"Mewtwo, I will definitely save you." Kyosuke said softly, looking at the Poké Ball in his hand.
