In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

The Team Flare members nodded in agreement, offering a silent compliment.

"Since that's the case, then I'll be leaving. I've been really tired these past few days and haven't had time to take good care of myself."

Paqila stood up, stretched, and yawned lazily.

But just then, a loud explosion came from directly in front of the base, and alarms sounded throughout the entire base.

"Oh? Someone has hacked in. Interesting."

Pachela pushed up her glasses, put on a coat and a hat for simple disguise, and walked forward.

After all, she is still one of the Carlos Four Heavenly Kings on the surface, and it is not appropriate to reveal her identity as a member of Team Flare.

Otherwise, the league won't let her off easily!

Meanwhile, Bakura led a group of Skull Team members directly into Team Flare's base.

Gladion and the campfire followed behind him.

In front of Bakura, a Latios floated silently.

"Gargiono, Campfire, you two take two teams and take care of the Team Flare members inside."

Bakura calmly instructed the two behind him to completely eliminate Team Flare in Haruka City tonight.

We can set off for Desert City tomorrow.

"Yes." Gladion and Campfire nodded and led the Skull Team members away from both sides.

Bakura, on the other hand, walked alone towards the front.

"Is this a good idea? Going alone could easily put you in danger."

A magnetic voice slowly drifted over, and Pachira slowly walked out from the door directly in front of her, leaning against the wall and smiling at Bakura.

"You must be the leader this time, right? Latios is quite a rare elf. Where's that white-haired thug?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I forgot, he should be reflecting on his actions at the police station right now."

Pachira grinned, completely unfazed, and even had the leisure to tease Bakura.

After all these days of fighting, the Skull team is just a bunch of trash.

Once she's dealt with the guy who's giving orders, she'll have time to take care of the skeleton team members.

But just then, a beam of dragon light suddenly struck!

Pachira's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly tried to dodge, but the Dragon Pulse struck the wall hard.

Although she did manage to dodge it, the explosive shockwave still blew Pachira's hat off, causing her long, purplish-red hair to flutter wildly.

Pachira's face instantly darkened! The attack just now came from Latios, who was standing in front of Bakura!

"You were completely unprepared when you were fighting your opponent. It's a wonder you're still alive."

"This is just a warning. I won't be so kind next time. Here's your chance, bring out your Pokémon."

Bakura said calmly, "This woman is really too arrogant. But that makes sense. If we have to say, Pachira might not be the weakest of the Tenka, but she's definitely not strong either."

But without a doubt, she is definitely one of the most unpretentious superstars!

Pachira is the only trainer who is both an evil organization and one of the Elite Four.

Although the four members of Lance are villains in the special episode, they are not considered an organization. Moreover, their title of "Four Heavenly Kings" in the special episode is, strictly speaking, self-proclaimed and not recognized by the League.

As for the four members of the Johto Heavenly Kings—Rika, Ichiju, Shiba, and Aki—they were also the Four Heavenly Kings who were reorganized after the organization's failure, and at that time they could no longer be considered villains.

Pachira is also the first Elite Four member in the Pokémon anime series to be defeated in an official battle by a non-League Elite Four Champion Trainer!

In other words, Pachira has somehow managed to diminish the Elite Four's exalted status in the Pokémon anime...

However, the XY anime series heavily favors Alain, making him the "golden boy" in the XY series. It's not hard to understand why Pachira lost, especially considering that Houndoom...

Whether in the game or the special episode, Pachira does not actually have a main position with Houndoom.

It can only be said that the anime plot is deliberately favoring the second male lead.

"Hmph! You're quite the composed one. Let me see what you're capable of."

Pa207 Qila pushed up her glasses, her face quite unpleasant, completely losing her previous composure.

Pachira threw her Pokémon out with a thud.

A red eagle flapped its wings and appeared in front of Pachira before taking flight.

Pachira's ace striker, the Arrowhawk!

"Brave bird, attack!"

Pachira gave a cold order to the Arrowhawk. Bakura's actions and words had really angered her!

The Arrowhawk cried out loudly, folded its wings, and was surrounded by red flames. After a brief moment of charging, it charged at high speed toward Latios.

"Clean and lustrous!"

Bakura glanced at the Fierce Arrow Eagle, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Woo~"

Latios raised his head, condensing his strongest pink energy. The next moment, a huge pink beam of light shot fiercely towards the Arrowhawk.

The fierce attack of the brave bird clashed violently with the clean, gleaming light in mid-air.

Enveloped in crimson flames, the Fiery Arrow Eagle charged forward relentlessly, attempting to break through the pristine luster!

boom!

But in the end, the pristine luster suddenly shattered, and the Fiery Arrow Eagle cried out in pain as it was blasted away by the powerful energy impact.

Pachira frowned slightly upon seeing this. This Latios is incredibly strong!

At that very moment, red arcs of electricity crackled once more across the Arrowhawk's body, and a look of pain returned to its face. This was the recoil from the Brave Bird's Fierce Attack! Unlike the Divine Bird's Strike, the Brave Bird's Fierce Attack had side effects.

Latios, surf!

Upon seeing this, Bakura immediately gave orders to Latios.

Latios roared, and a giant wave rose from the ground, sweeping towards the Arrowhawk with tremendous force.

"Dodge with a flash of lightning!"

Seeing this, Pachira shouted to Talonflame without hesitation, "Surf is a water-type move, and it's very effective against Talonflame!"

A white light flashed behind the Arrowhawk, forcibly avoiding the surf.

"They can run really fast, but what's the use? They're all about mental strength!"

Bakura's lips curled into a slight smile as he gave Latios another command.

Latios's eyes flashed with a deep, psychic blue light as he stared intently at Talonflame.

The surface of the Arrowhawk's body was also filled with superpowers, and the blue light tightly enveloped the Arrowhawk, making it unable to move!

The Arrowhawk struggled incessantly, but to no avail.

If it were a fully-fledged Flamehawk, it might not be easy for Latios to control it.

However, it was affected by the energy blast of the clean and bright light and suffered the backlash of the Brave Bird's fierce attack, so it hurriedly used Quick Attack to avoid the surf attack.

The Arrowhawk hadn't recovered from its condition.

"This guy!" Pachira's face darkened. Although Talonflame was not in good condition, it was definitely not something that an ordinary Pokémon could control with psychic powers.

"As a legendary Pokémon, Latios' potential and abilities far surpass those of ordinary Pokémon, don't you think?"

Bakura's smile was calm. After more than a month of careful nurturing, Latios was now much stronger than it was when it was on the Saint-Tiannu!

Just as Bakura once said to Dakudo, the legend would only be buried in Dakudo's hands!

boom!

And it was at this moment that, under Latios's control, the Arrow Eagle, which was bound by mental power, fell heavily to the ground!

Under the terrifying force of the impact, the Arrowhawk let out another painful scream.

Who exactly are you?

Pachira withdrew her extremely weak Arrowhawk and looked at Bakura through her glasses.

The person who so easily defeated his Fiery Arrow Eagle must be much stronger than him.

“The Skull Team is mine. Who do you think I am?” Bakura retorted.

Paqira fell silent upon hearing this, realizing he was indeed the mastermind behind the Skull Team.

"It's quite surprising, though. The four Heavenly Kings of the Carlos region are actually high-ranking officers of Team Flare. I think many people will be shocked by this news."

Bakura's lips curled into a slight smile as he looked at Pachira with interest and slowly began to speak.

Paqira's expression changed upon hearing this, and she subconsciously touched the hat on her head, only to find it gone.

It was only then that Pachira remembered that when Latios attacked directly for the first time, the hat she used for disguise was also blown away by the blast wave.

Her appearance is quite distinctive, so it's not surprising that she was recognized.

"What do you want?" Pachira frowned deeply; this was getting a bit complicated.

Her identity has been exposed, which will delay Team Flare's plans.

"I don't care about anything, but I'm quite interested in Pakira's purpose. How could one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Carlos join Team Flare?"

"This decision seems foolish no matter how you look at it, doesn't it?"

Bakura shrugged, then asked Pachira with interest.

The Four Heavenly Kings of the League hold high positions and great power even within the League, although they are not allowed to participate in politics.

However, the special nature of this position determines that the Four Heavenly Kings also hold a very important position in the league.

The Four Heavenly Kings represent the pinnacle of martial prowess in the region at present!
