In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

Logically speaking, the Rockets' secrecy measures for this operation were quite good, and Kona wasn't initially on the USS Santo Anu.

In other words, Kona came after the Santo Anu! She knew from the beginning that the Rockets would target the Santo Anu!

Bakura narrowed his eyes slightly. Was there a mole in the Rockets, or did someone deliberately send a message to Kona?

Meanwhile, outside the Saint-Tiannu, the sky was overcast, the temperature in the air was dropping steadily, and beautiful ice crystals and snowflakes were beginning to fall.

The vast ocean is completely frozen over!

The frozen sea!

The Saint-Tianu has been forced to a stop; it is surrounded by ice and cannot move an inch!

Ahead of the Saint-Tianu, a white sea lion lay quietly on the ice, and on its back sat a mature woman in a black dress.

She had a full and slender figure, a cold and aloof temperament, and her beautiful, fair face appeared extremely dark and icy at this moment. She was wearing glasses.

It is none other than Kona, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto!

"Ice missile." Kona stared indifferently at the massive Santo Anu before her and calmly gave the order.

A dense white light shone from the shell of a Clamshell in front of Kona, and in an instant, a barrage of sharp needles shot towards the deck.

At the same time, the white sea lion beneath Kona also shot out a zigzag beam of icy blue light.

Freeze Ray!

The Freeze Ray struck Cloyster's Spiked Cannon, and in an instant, the spikes turned into ice spikes!

This is the Ice Missile! A combination attack that Kona excels at.

"Double gas, flamethrower!"

"Houndoom, Flamethrower!"

Lance and Apollo, who were on the deck, changed their expressions slightly and hurriedly shouted at the elf in front of them.

Both Weezing and Houndoom unleashed powerful jets of fire, meeting Lorelei's ice missile head-on.

"Fool." Kona's dark face curled into a mocking sneer.

Do you think these two worthless scoundrels can stop my attack?

The scorching pillar of fire instantly engulfed the incoming ice missiles, but the ice missiles had a wide range, and Apollo and his companion quickly discovered them.

Even the ice missiles engulfed in flames were not burned out completely; they even passed through the flames at high speed and struck the Twin Gas and Houndoom hard.

Both Weezing and Houndoom let out painful groans as terrifying freezing air instantly froze at the point where they were hit by the ice missile, freezing parts of both Pokémon's bodies!

"Damn! There are 23 people in the final 23!"

Apollo and Lance looked extremely grim; Kona's strength was simply terrifying!

They were no match for Kona, and it wasn't just their Pokémon; the Ice Missiles had a huge range, and many parts of the Saint-Tiannu were hit by them.

In the blink of an eye, dazzling ice crystals began to spread and diffuse from the front of the Saint-Tianu and on the deck.

A strong chill permeated the air!

This is Lorelei's ice power! Specializing in ice-based abilities, Lorelei's freezing aura is the most terrifying in the world!

There is nothing she cannot freeze!

And in a corner behind the deck.

"Oh no! I was so scared! The Kanto Elite Four have all shown up. Looks like Team Rocket is doomed today!"

The innocent-looking girl in the blue dress patted her bulging chest, seemingly still shaken, but the bright smile on her face and the slyness in her eyes revealed that her emotions were not at all as genuine as her words.

"You should really thank me, Little Blue. If I hadn't saved you, you'd probably be half-dead by that Mt. Surge guy by now."

Then the girl named Xiaolan looked at the red-eyed boy behind her who was leaning weakly against the wall to rest. It was Chi Hong!

An ice rink stretched from the ice surface to the Saint-Tiannu, and the white sea lion glided up. Kona sat on the white sea lion's back, looking at the Team Rocket crew on the deck, her gaze finally settling on Lance and Apollo, who were in the lead.

"The Rockets? They really are a dirty bunch. Have they become this brazen?"

A cold, piercing voice came from Kona's mouth, and the intense chill seemed to affect the temperature in the air, causing it to drop continuously.

"Kona, this ship is now completely under our control. You'd better get out of here right away, or we might do something we don't know what!"

Apollo stared at Kona, who remained calm and unconcerned, with a dark expression, and threatened her in a cold voice.

None of the Kanto Elite Four are simple characters. Without sufficient preparation, Apollo knew very well that he and Lance were no match for Kona.

But the Saint-Antoine is completely under their control!

Those innocent trainers and wealthy tycoons are all their pawns!

"Oh? Are you threatening me?"

Kona's eyes flashed with a chilling light. She pushed up her glasses and slowly stood up, revealing her full and alluring curves, which were tempting to look at.

Wearing high heels, Kona took a few steps forward, crossed her arms, glanced at everyone on the deck, and replied to Apollo indifferently.

"This is not a threat. We have long admired the reputation of King Kona. It's just that today is really not a good day."

"If Elite Four member Lorelei is willing to leave now, we will safely return this ship to Vermilion City, and all the passengers on board will be safe. What do you think?"

Lance smiled and spoke to Cora in a gentle and respectful tone.

"Ha~ Nonsense. There are no tourists on this ship, they are all Team Rocket's accomplices."

Upon hearing this, Kona's lips curled into a cold, mocking smile, her eyes, hidden behind her glasses, filled with malice.

Trying to threaten her with tourists? How naive! So naive that Kona couldn't help but laugh!

"You...?" Apollo and Lance were both taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at Kona in shock.

They understood what Kona meant!

"White Sea Lion, Blizzard!"

Kona's smile slowly turned sinister as she calmly gave the white sea lion a command.

The white sea lion carried out Lorelei's command without hesitation, opening its mouth and unleashing a terrifying blizzard.

An incredibly strong blizzard blotted out the sky and swept over everyone on the deck!

The moisture in the air was completely frozen by the intense cold, and the bone-chilling cold assaulted Team Rocket!

"Kona!!! Kona, do you know what you're doing?"

"Are you crazy? You actually want to freeze the entire ship!"

Apollo and Lance stared at Kona in shock and anger. This crazy woman actually wanted to freeze the entire ship!

Even so, Apollo and Lance hurriedly had the elves use protection to weather the blizzard first.

"Hmph!" Kona scoffed sarcastically, staring indifferently at the raging snowstorm before her.

What is she doing? Of course she knows what she's doing!

It's just to punish the evil Team Rocket.

As for those innocent tourists, although it's a pity, sacrificing them to get these Rocket Team members is a worthwhile sacrifice, right?

They're just a bunch of useless trash; they couldn't even protect their own Pokémon, which were taken by Team Rocket.

Then these Pokémon will be thrown into the research lab by Team Rocket for painful genetic and biological experiments. It's the Pokémon that suffers!

What right does someone who can't even protect their own Pokémon have to become a trainer?

They're going to die sooner or later anyway! They might as well make a contribution; with so many Rockets players dying with them, they won't have been without merit.

"Damn it! She's serious!"

Apollo's face was extremely gloomy as he watched the Team Rocket members around him being enveloped by the blizzard and instantly frozen into human-shaped ice sculptures!

What the hell is going on with these Kanto Four Heavenly Kings lately?

Lance is like that, and so is Lorelei!

Have they completely disregarded the league's rules? What the hell is the league doing?!

These crazy Four Heavenly Kings dare to let them work? Aren't they afraid of ruining the reputation of the alliance?

Even the Rockets wouldn't dare to attack civilians so blatantly, you bastards!

Meanwhile, inside the ship's main hall.

"Have you noticed the temperature dropping?"

Blinking, Ash, standing in the middle of the crowd, gently touched the goosebumps on his bare arms, muttered a few words, and then asked Brock and the others who were battling Team Rocket.

He felt that, quite abruptly, the temperature seemed to be constantly dropping.

And now he can clearly feel the cold.

"It's not just a feeling, it's definitely decreasing. It must be starting from outside. Is there some powerful Ice-type trainer fighting?"

Touko rubbed her hands together, breathed out a soft breath, and frowned as she watched the white vapor she exhaled.

This only happens when the temperature drops to a certain level, and there's no doubt that the temperature has indeed dropped.

"Look there! Holy crap!"

Suddenly, a Rockets player pointed in a direction, dumbfounded, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

Ash and the others instinctively looked over, their eyes widening instantly, revealing expressions of shock.

It was a window, and a member wearing a Team Rocket uniform was pressed against it, banging on it repeatedly. He looked tense and pale, as if he wanted the person inside to open it for him.

But in an instant, a white storm swept by, and the Team Rocket member who was alive just a second ago turned into an ice sculpture!

Xiao Zhi: ? ? ?

"Is this poisonous? How could the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto be like this?"

In a small cubicle, looking out at the howling snowstorm outside the window, Xiao Lan's eyelids kept twitching.
