Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

They quickly crawled inside.

After confirming that there was no danger in the passageway, they quickly escorted Haoyan inside.

The remaining investigators and others quickly entered as well.

They entered the Rockets' headquarters through the corridor, while everyone was still observing their surroundings.

Many Rockets players emerged from both sides.

"Double-blast gas, use poison gas!"

"Muk, use poison gas!"

... ...

The poison gas reduces visibility in the surrounding area.

At the same time, a toxic, sweet, and fishy smell was spreading in the air.

Hao Yan was prepared for the Rockets' sudden attack.

Looking at Lance beside him, Lance understood and immediately commanded his Dragonite: "Dragonite, use Tornado!"

"Roar~ Roar~"

"Roar~ Roar~"

Don't be fooled by the small fleshy wings on Dragonite's back; the wind they create is quite strong.

Blow away the toxic gas.

Visual field has recovered well.

"Combat formation, commence operations." Hao Yan waved his hand, and the investigators surrounding him immediately began their operation.

"Venusaur, use Vine Whip to attack Rattata over there..."

"Infernape, use a karate chop attack..."

The investigators began their respective battles with the Team Rocket soldiers.

In recent days, knowing that the Rockets' fate was sealed, external members of the Rockets team have begun to abandon them and leave.

Now, those who remain are all die-hard Rockets fans.

These people are not weak in combat.

Secondly, these Rockets teams are now essentially fighting for their lives.

The battle with the investigators was a back-and-forth affair.

However, in terms of numbers and strength, the investigators were clearly at a disadvantage.

"Ignore them, find Sakaki," Haoyan said softly.

Ordinary Rockets players have absolutely no impact on the game.

Only by defeating the key figure, Giovanni, can Team Rocket be completely eradicated.

"Yes!" Lance led his Dragonite ahead, clearing the way.

... ...

As they ventured deeper, Haoyan and his group arrived at a spacious area.

A very large office was right in front of me.

You can tell from the size of the office.

The Rockets' leader, Giovanni, is inside.

Sure enough, the office door opened and a rather imposing man in a black suit walked out.

"Sakaki!"

"I'm so glad to finally meet you!"

... ...

Chapter 420 Sakaki's Reliance

To be fair, with his buzz cut, Giovanni wasn't particularly tall or imposing, his features were barely decent, and he wasn't very tall either.

At first glance, he looks like an ordinary middle-aged office worker.

However, Sakaki has a unique charisma!

This allows him to stand out among ordinary people.

Physical appearance is innate.

Temperament is something that is cultivated.

Having long held a high position, Sakaki exudes an aura of domineering authority and unquestionable dignity.

"Much better than both the Crimson Flame Pine and the Water Wutong!"

In his heart, Hao Yan silently compared Sakaki with the two evil organization leaders he had encountered before.

Sakaki is incredibly strong.

He was surrounded by a large group of investigators, plus the two champions who were trying to take him down.

There was no trace of panic on Sakaki's face.

Instead, they watched Haoyan, who was surrounded by people, with great interest.

"You... are Haoyan?"

Before Haoyan could reply, Du interrupted and said to him, "Haoyan, ignore him!"

"Be careful what tricks he's up to!"

Haoyan's feud with the Rockets started a long time ago.

Moreover, this period nearly destroyed the Rockets.

Watari was afraid that Sakaki would take the opportunity to harm Hiroki.

After all, Haoyan was the commander of this operation.

We cannot afford to fail!

Zhu Lan didn't speak, but she looked at Hao Yan with a slightly worried expression.

After all, rumors circulated that Sakaki's strength was unfathomable.

Even the regional champion.

He was also outmatched by Sakaki.

Haoyan patted Du and Zhulan on the shoulder, indicating that they didn't need to be nervous.

"There are so many people here, and you're protecting us, so don't worry."

After saying that, Haoyan took a step forward.

"That's right, I am Haoyan."

With the power of Tokiwa, Hirohime can easily sense subtle changes in the other person's emotions towards him.

Haoyan didn't sense much malice from Sakaki.

More than anything, it was curiosity.

"Haha, I've heard your name often, but this is the first time I've met you in person."

Sakaki, who had been expressionless the whole time, recognized Hiroki's identity, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Me too. Even though I'm not in the Hoenn region, I've heard all sorts of legends about Mr. Sakaki," Haoyan replied with a faint smile.

"What a magnanimous attitude!"

Faced with Haoyan's neither humble nor arrogant reply, Sakaki's opinion of Haoyan rose even higher.

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young! The sudden rise of Curator Haoyan has caused a dramatic change in the entire Pokémon world!"

"Ever since I first heard your name, I had a feeling that we were destined to be together."

"What I didn't expect was that our connection was so deep," Sakaki said lightly.

"Yes, I never thought of that before either."

"It's unbelievable that we would meet under such circumstances one day," Hao Yan said with a faint smile.

"You stole Mewtwo, wiped out the three executives, and finally wiped out the four generals in one fell swoop."

"It's almost fair to say that the Rockets' current slump is entirely your fault."

"Even so, I still don't dislike you, nor do I hate you."

"I don't know if it's me or you who's strange." Sakaki took a step forward.

Watari and the other investigators immediately became somewhat nervous.

It gives you the feeling that one man can hold the pass against ten thousand.

"Yes, me too."

"I strongly disagree with Team Rocket's attitude toward Pokémon."

"I killed every Rocket team team I encountered."

"But you are different from them, and I don't dislike you."

Haoyan deeply agreed with Sakaki's words.

Perhaps this is something that Sakaki and Hirohiko have in common.

"Speaking of which, I should thank you," Sakaki said softly.

"Oh, really?" Haoyan replied with a smile.

"Yes, the Rockets have had it too easy these past few years."

"Once you reach the peak, it will inevitably start to decline."
