Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 340 Team Rocket vs. Team Plasma, I want to see a bloodbath! (Seeking monthly votes)

Two days have passed, and the heavy rain continues.

With the couple's careful care, Meloeta's condition improved significantly. At least she was no longer in so much pain when she was asleep, and she could move around with difficulty after waking up.

Thanks to the understanding that this illness is a kind of curse-like bondage, the stags that were once blessed by the Sinnoh Grand Master can use their power to alleviate the curse. "Code" is higher than yours, so you can be willful.

Unfortunately, after their mission with Xiaozhao ended, the blessings from the Great Lord Sinnoh gradually disappeared, otherwise it would have been easy to unravel them directly.

Zhu Lan already knows about the attack on the villa by the Plasma Team the day before yesterday, and Ming You has also told her about her plan. Although Zhu Lan said she would wait until she returned to discuss it, everything depends on the situation.

Simply put, if any unexpected situation arises, there's no need to discuss countermeasures with her anymore. The goal is to eliminate both organizations without spreading the battlefield to Ripple Town and Blueberry Academy.

Because she believed that the two of them alone were enough to do it.

Mingyou stood by the window, tasting the mousse cake that Ponpo had made for him to relieve stress. His gaze was fixed on the direction of Ripple Bay through the raindrops hitting the glass. Although he couldn't see anything from here, he was waiting... waiting for Team Rocket's operation to begin.

The Crowned King was currently near Ripple Bay. Turnip had gone there voluntarily, without many complicated thoughts; it simply wanted to help Meloetta, and it quite liked this new member of the band.

At this moment, Xiao Zhao stepped forward with a serious expression and said, "Miss Zhu Lan is already on her way and will arrive in Lianyi Town in about two hours. N is with her as well, and they seem to have gathered a lot of useful information."

"Okay, let's wait for them first."

Mingyou shifted his gaze from the window to Meloetta, who was writing something on a piece of paper with a pen. It was still in ancient script, which he couldn't understand.

"How are you feeling?"

"Melo~"

Meloeta did not respond, remaining focused on her own tasks, as if she were trying to finish the last mission and had no time to worry about anything else.

Mingyou shook his head slightly, but just then, his Rotom phone suddenly rang with an urgent notification sound. He quickly took the phone, and Xiaozhao's expression immediately became serious.

Sure enough, it was Lady Crown who had been sending him messages and photos for several days in a row.

Upon reading the contents, Mingyou's slightly tense expression finally relaxed, and she said with a smile, "They're finally here! Let's get ready to leave; we don't need to wait for anyone!"

"Um!"

In the photos in the chat log, many black transport helicopters, their sides reflecting a blood-red "R" in the rain and lightning, showed that Team Rocket's main force had finally arrived here from the Kanto region!

Meanwhile, over Rippling Bay.

The helicopters transporting the Rocket Force had their optical camouflage completely rendered ineffective by the rain, but fortunately, the overcast weather concealed them.

Inside the best-protected transport plane in the very center, the layout resembled a very important office, where several key members of Team Rocket stood tensely.

The Rockets trio knelt on one knee, their hearts pounding with a mixture of nervousness and excitement, as they reported to the stern-faced, short-haired man in a black suit sitting at the desk.

As they spoke, leader Sakaki stroked the cat boss beside him until they finished, then stopped what he was doing, placed his hands on the table, and stared coldly down below.

"So all this information was given to you by that guy Mingyou?"

"Uh...that's right!"

The Rockets trio were surprised that their boss, Giovanni, seemed so familiar with him.

Sakaki didn't explain, but waved his hand, indicating that the group should wait until the operation was about to begin and follow instructions. He had actually heard this information several times before, but this time he was getting it in person.

After the trio left, he turned to his smug confidant Apollo and asked, "What do you think?"

"Um……"

Apollo stroked his chin, his demeanor still elegant, and said softly, "The intelligence should be accurate. We sent people to investigate yesterday, and there is indeed something strange about that place, but we didn't get too close for fear of alerting Team Plasma."

"Alright!"

Sakaki is too lazy to care about Naruto anymore. The only real conflict between them is related to interests. Naruto doesn't give him face and even dares to oppose him. He doesn't care about anything else.

But the plasma team is different...

Not only did they plant a mole within Team Rocket, but they also launched a sneak attack during the mission to capture Meloetta, wiping out Lance and the others before stealing Meloetta away. Did they really think they wouldn't notice?

"If it weren't for them, we would have been the first to discover the underwater ruins, and the Light Stone... Not only did we fail to catch that N, but now these guys have even stolen the Light Stone."

Sakaki grew increasingly agitated, and no one around dared to interrupt. Only Apollo slowly spoke up: "It would be better to calm down first. We're almost at our destination. Should we talk to them?"

"Um……"

Sakaki pondered for a moment, then looked up at a researcher-looking man below and asked, "Dr. Seger, how are the preparations going?"

"No problem, it can be started anytime!"

"good!"

Upon receiving the answer, Sakaki immediately stood up, hands in his pockets, striking an invincible pose, a slight smile playing on his lips, and shouted, "Talk my ass, just attack!"

"receive!"

Apollo naturally had no objections.

Upon receiving the attack signal, the five Genesects, which had been captured by Dr. Seger and reprogrammed, simultaneously charged out in their high-speed forms.

The giant cannon was set up, aimed at a point, and the high-tech beam shot out with a bang. The raindrops that fell were interrupted by the residual energy of the beam and were blocked in mid-air, unable to fall any further.

The beam attack converged into one, directly hitting the plasma team destroyer hidden in the clouds by optical camouflage, and the explosion resounded through the sky!

While inside the destroyer, leaning on his cane and talking with his subordinate sages about how much longer it would take to forcefully open the underwater ruins with the power of Kyurem, Ghetsis was suddenly startled by the violent tremor.

"...What's going on?!"

"Unknown attack on port!"

An alarm sounded over the destroyer's loudspeaker, ordering all members of the Plasma Squad, who were preparing to land on the underwater ruins, to immediately prepare for combat.

The beam cannon attack came again in the next second, but this time we were not so passive.

All the destroyer's guns were aimed at the direction from which the attack was coming, gathering chilling energy and transforming the power of Kyurem into beams of light to fire directly out.

The moment the beams collided, the surrounding rain instantly froze into ice crystals, which then completely dissipated in the explosion. Entering the only area where it wasn't raining, both sides finally saw each other.

Quixote stormed into the wheelhouse, furious, wanting to know who was attacking them.

International police?

When he saw the iconic red "R," he finally realized it was the Pokémon Mafia, but he was completely baffled. While trying to recall, he angrily shouted, "Team Rocket? When did we ever mess with them?!"

"Logically speaking, apart from that time they tried to kidnap Meloetta... there wasn't, and we didn't have any actual conflict that time either."

Quigish's confidants, the Dark Trio, emerged from his shadow to respond. Team Plasma has always kept a low profile, secretly spreading their teachings in small places.

It was only after N's ​​defection and the previous incident at Giant's Cave that they came to attention, and they should have had no connection with Team Rocket at all.

Then there's only one answer...

It goes without saying that someone who has no grudge against you suddenly appears at this critical juncture. Considering Team Rocket's initial attempt to capture Meloetta, their purpose must be something inside the underwater ruins.

"Even Team Plasma wants to rob us? We're just keeping a low profile, not some pushover like Slowpoke. What about the situation at the underwater ruins?!"

Quetzal shouted to the sages, saying that although they didn't get Meloetta's help in finding the underwater ruins, having Kyurem was almost enough.

By establishing a connection between Kyurem and the Divine Stone, the location of the underwater ruins was roughly determined. Kyurem's power was used to launch attacks time and again, freezing the protective shield of the underwater ruins with low temperatures, causing it to surface on its own. Without a key, the door was simply broken open.

Thanks to Akroma, a device was developed that could extract Kyurem energy to power destroyers. The one used on this destroyer was an improved version with the latest data, which was even more perfect than the one that was destroyed in the Giant's Cave. It can be considered Akroma's legacy before he went to jail.

Upon hearing his question, someone immediately responded: "There are only three minutes left until the energy for the final strike is fully released. It'll be ready soon!"

"good!"

Quixote immediately stood up. Three minutes was nothing; delaying a little was perfectly fine. The main problem was that fighting in the air without knowing each other's trump cards would be disadvantageous for both sides. But once the underwater ruins were opened, it would be their home turf.

He slammed his cane against the floor, and the Plasma Team logo in the middle of the cane lit up instantly, with a flash of blue electricity.

Meanwhile, above the destroyer, within a swirling thundercloud, Zekrom's eyes flashed, and he unfurled his powerful arms, the electric currents swirling at his tail spreading outwards like scattered lightning snakes.

The official showdown between Team Plasma and Team Rocket!

"Is it finally starting?!"

Latias sat atop Latias, observing the situation from afar with his mental powers.

Although it was very strange for the two of them to team up, it was Mingyou's arrangement, so Latias had no choice but to listen to Turnip. This was also because Mingyou was worried that it would act recklessly... Although Turnip was unreliable, it certainly wouldn't let its companions go astray.

Latias was startled by the terrifying aura emanating from the five Genesects battling Zekrom under Team Rocket's control; this enemy was far too strong.

The Crowned King, however, seemed indifferent. Realizing that they weren't actually fighting but were waiting for something, it couldn't help but complain.

"Boring, I want to see rivers of blood!"
