Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

"Speak!" Sakaki's tone on the phone was the same as usual.

But Lambda could still hear the anger in Sakaki's words.

He quickly recounted in detail what he had discussed with Apollo.

"Apollo was actually defeated by a newly appointed gym leader?"

Sakaki's voice showed a rare hint of surprise.

Lambda looked at the police cars passing by in the distance and answered with difficulty.

"Judging from the current situation, that seems to be the case!"

“… …” Sakaki did not speak on the phone, but fell into a long silence.

He must be thinking about it.

After a long pause, Sakaki finally spoke: "Apollo cannot have died in vain!"

"Although it's not convenient for us to get too involved in the Hoenn region."

"But that Haoyan probably isn't someone who stays put either!"

"I imagine he has quite a few enemies in the Hoenn region!"

"In that case, Lambda, you should lie low in the Hoenn region for now."

"Wait for my instructions!"

After finishing his sentence, Sakaki hung up the phone immediately.

Toot toot~

The phone went dead.

Lambda hung up the phone, feeling somewhat melancholy.

Judging from what Giovanni just said, it seems he wants to unite with other forces in the Hoenn region to help Apollo get revenge!

Besides Team Magma, the only other forces in the Hoenn region are Team Aqua!

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.

As a member of the same evil organization, Sakaki naturally recognized Akamatsu and Mizuki.

However, Sakaki has never really thought much of the two of them.

I think they're just daydreamers.

Now, they're actually teaming up with two dreamers they look down on to deal with Haoyan!

This is quite disheartening.

However, Radham could understand that the Rockets had been having a very difficult time lately.

First, we lost Maslow and Ah-Kiu!

Then, Natsume betrayed them and ran away.

Even the creatures they expended their energy on were stolen.

This dealt a severe blow to the Rockets' morale.

If news of Apollo's death, the leader of the Four Generals, were to reach Team Rocket, it would be an even greater blow.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Rockets organization looks like a giant building.

In reality, the foundation was not solid!

All the members who joined the Rockets were focused on financial gain!

If the team cannot reverse its decline in time, it could very well shake the foundation of the Rockets!

In addition to internal factors, the Rockets are also facing significant external pressures.

The league has always wanted to take action to eliminate the Rockets, who are rampant in the Kanto region!

However, the Rockets have been operating for a long time, and their influence is deeply entrenched, with interests involved from all sides.

If people sense that the Rockets are on the verge of collapse, many will probably distance themselves from the team.

At that time, the Rockets will be completely caught in a dilemma, both internally and externally.

"Never mind all that!"

"Let's hide for now!" Lambda snapped out of his thoughts and quickly disappeared into the night.

... ...

Chapter 241 Possessing the strength of a Heavenly King, will he become a Heavenly King?

The next morning, the Kayna Daily published a headline.

"shock!!!"

"Apollo, one of the four generals of Team Rocket, has come to the Hoenn region with the intention of spreading evil!"

"Fortunately, the wise and powerful Director Hiroyuki was the first to see through Team Rocket's plot!"

"Take action to capture Apollo, one of the Four Generals!"

"I believe that under the leadership of Curator Hiroyuki, the entire Pokémon world will soon return to its former peace!"

As soon as this report was published, the Kayna City Daily went on a tear once again!

Countless citizens of Kaina City received the news.

He didn't even eat breakfast and rushed to the newsstand on the street.

I want to buy a newspaper!

Impacted by the internet and television, the once-declining street corner newsstand has been revitalized.

Meanwhile, the Kaina Daily also printed and distributed the local newspaper to other cities.

For a time, the Kaina Daily became the best-selling newspaper.

"Haha, so that's why the sirens were blaring all night!"

"It was Director Hirohiko who took down Team Rocket's Apollo!"

"Miss Officer Jenny is leading the team to clean up the mess!" A citizen of Kaina City said happily after reading the Kaina Daily.

The Hoenn region has always been relatively close to the Kanto and Johto regions.

Therefore, there was a lot of communication between them!

So the Rockets are no strangers to the team.

"Hahaha, Director Haoyan is really amazing!"

"We are so lucky to have such a curator!"

"With him here, let's see which evil organization in Kaina City dares to cause trouble again!" another Kaina citizen gathered at the newsstand shouted in response.

"I heard that this Apollo is the leader of the four generals of Team Rocket!"

"It is said that his strength has reached the Heavenly King level!"

"I didn't expect that he would still be taken down by our curator Haoyan!" said a well-informed citizen.

"That Apollo, does he have the power of a heavenly king?"

"Is your information true or not?" The surrounding citizens gathered together and discussed.

"Of course it's true!"

"My wife's hometown is Nibi City in the Kanto region!"

"She couldn't stand the chaos in the Kanto region, so she came to live in the Hoenn region!"

“How could she not know?” the questioned citizen of Kaina City shouted back.

"So in other words, Director Haoyan has strength that is no weaker than the Heavenly King?"

"We are so lucky! We have a gym leader with the strength of a Champion in our city!" the surrounding citizens exclaimed.

A worried citizen whispered, "Do you think that with Master Haoyan being so powerful, he might try to challenge for the Heavenly King title?"

"You're no longer serving as the curator of our Kaina City?"

These words immediately drew attention from those around them.

The dojo master and the Heavenly King.

There is a clear gap in social status.

With strength comes the natural progression to higher positions; it's only a matter of course.

"...Probably not."

"After all, Director Haoyan has only been in office for a short time..." someone around him replied somewhat hesitantly.

... ...

Kaina Dojo.

The traces of the battle outside the dojo have been cleaned up by the dojo staff.

Michael also passed by and arrived at the Kaina Gym, where he saw Apollo's body with his own eyes.

At that moment, he was chatting with Haoyan: "Haoyan, on behalf of the alliance, I thank you for your contributions!"

"The reward for killing Apollo will be credited to your account shortly."

"That's good, thank you for your trouble, Mr. Mikkelsen." Hao Yan didn't take Apollo's matter to heart.

This was a trivial matter for him.

"Mr. Michael, please feel free to speak." Hao Yan smiled at Michael, who seemed hesitant to speak.

"That's right, the King of Kings Tournament will be held in six months."

"Your ability to defeat Apollo proves that you have reached the strength of the Heavenly King."

"I can recommend you to participate in the King of Kings Tournament."
