Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

Unlike the previous two canteens and the combat conference room hall, this hall now looks more like a research room.

With no interest in lingering, the south wind continued its journey.

But just as it took a step, Gardevoir suddenly flashed with psychic energy, teleporting Southwind and Garchomp back to the entrance of the hall.

The next second, dark purple venom poured down from above the spot where Nanfeng and Garchomp were standing, like a waterfall.

"Hiss..."

A corrosive sound came from the air, along with a foul, sour smell.

"They're pretty quick," a woman's voice suddenly came from the other side of the hall.

Nanfeng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman in silver clothes with red hair and a voluptuous figure. A dark raven was perched on her shoulder.

Nanfeng, who calls herself "Athena," remembers that Athena has a signature red hair, and with this silver executive uniform, just as she predicted, she is the highest-ranking executive at Team Rocket's base in Kagi Town!

At the same time, a task prompt appeared on the side.

[Instance Objective: Prevent the Team Rocket base boss in Kaji Town from escaping]

[Additional Mission: Defeat Athena before Awata arrives (Bonus reward available)]

[Remaining time for the instance: 19 minutes and 32 seconds]

Defeat Athena before Awata arrives?

Nanfeng raised an eyebrow. If Adu wanted to come, he had to notify him first.

Unless he presses the button to notify Adu, he will never know that he has encountered Athena.

Therefore, all I need to do is defeat Athena within these 19 minutes and 32 seconds.

There's still plenty of time!

"Oh~ you're a little friend who knows me, so I can't let you leave even more~" Athena crossed her arms, her gaze suddenly turning sharp.

"The giant snake glares!"

An Arbok emerged from the darkness behind Athena! It immediately stood upright facing the south wind. On Arbok's chest was a terrifying bhai pattern resembling a ghost face, the pattern representing eyes glowing and captivating.

A strong numbing sensation suddenly surged through Nanfeng's entire body.

Unable to resist!

The serpent's glare has the effect of paralyzing its victims. In anime, it could even cause death.

However, the south wind didn't take it seriously at all.

In less than a second, the numbness in Nanfeng's body disappeared instantly, as if it had never happened.

A tingling, electric spark appeared on Gardevoir's body surface, but it was immediately absorbed.

Gardevoir carries a "Gracidia Flower," which can absorb negative status effects from its surroundings and use them as raw materials for "Seed Flash"!

The giant snake glared?

Sorry, this trick doesn't work on me!

"Ineffective?" Athena raised an eyebrow. This was the first time she had ever seen the serpent's glare have no effect. It was one thing for it to be ineffective against elves, but why was it also ineffective against that human?

"Dragon God Dive!" Nanfeng immediately launched an attack.

Garchomp stomped out, its body once again coated with a layer of dark green dragon-type energy, transforming into a war chariot that rumbled forward.

The ground beneath his feet shattered, and he was about to crash headfirst into Athena!

"Mulphur, eat it!" Athena immediately recognized a Poké Ball.

The Poké Ball opened, and a huge mass of purple sludge appeared, opening its mouth to swallow Garchomp whole.

"Gardevoir, Mega Evolve! Psychic!" Nanfeng immediately followed up with the command.

Gardevoir was immediately enveloped in a layer of seven-colored light and descended wearing a black princess dress.

With a wave of his hand, he teleported to the center of the hall, unleashing his superpowers!

Countless invisible spiritual spikes emerged and swung wildly!

"Arbok, use Poison Tail!" Athena's offensive and defensive commands were quite timely!

Arbok in front of it immediately turned around and unleashed a Poison Tail attack on Mega Gardevoir in the center of the battlefield. The tail blade, shimmering with a purple light, resembled a piercing blade, aiming to pierce Mega Gardevoir's chest.

However, this idea is just wishful thinking.

The psychic spikes swung through the air, knocking Arbok's poison tail away, while many more psychic spikes landed on Muk's body.

Muk lost its fighting ability almost instantly.

As a pure Poison-type, it is already weak to Psychic-type attacks. Add to that the Gracie Flower's effect of dealing double damage to Poison-type Pokémon, making it quadruple damage. No matter how high its Special Defense is, it can't withstand a Mega Gardevoir's Psychic attack!

259. Dr. Nanbo

"Thump!" Garchomp crashed into Arbok.

It blasted directly into the wall behind it.

It's deeply embedded!

If Athena hadn't dodged quickly, she probably would have been knocked away as well.

"Even if it's not Adu, it's still so troublesome!" Athena recalled her two spirits, turned around, and ran away.

"They defeated him already?" Nanfeng was surprised; it had only been one exchange.

Could it be that I'm too strong?

It seems there really isn't a problem.

Athena used high-level Pokémon, Arbok at level 73 and Muk at level 71, but both were Poison-type Pokémon. When they encountered a Mega Gardevoir carrying a Gracidian Flower, they were four times super effective against it.

That's just a father beating his son.

"Let's go after her and see!" Nanfeng, with Garchomp, chased after the direction Athena had disappeared in.

After passing through the short corridor, Nanfeng entered another large hall, where a wave of poisonous mist rushed towards him, but it was all absorbed by Mega Gardevoir within two meters of him.

"The poison mist was absorbed? Is this Gardevoir's ability Poison Heal?" Athena remarked.

Suddenly, a balding old man with pink hair appeared beside her.

"Dr. Sambo, it's up to you now. Let me see the results of your research over this period of time!"

"How many times have I told you? My name is Nanbo!!!" the Mediterranean-looking old man roared in anger!

"OK, I'll call you right next time, Dr. Blackpool!"

"My name is Nanbo! Nanbo! Nanbo!" Dr. Nanbo said through gritted teeth as he operated a machine, pulling a lever down.

With a loud bang, an iron gate suddenly slammed shut.

"Niu La!"

With a low growl like a wild beast, two Weavile smashed through the iron bars of their cage and pounced out, each wearing a metal device resembling a headband.

Its eyes were bloodshot, like those of a demon, and it seemed to have no sense of reason as it rushed towards the south wind.

Weavile is an Ice/Dark type.

Is this to counter Garchomp and Gardevoir?

However, these two Weavile were clearly not in good condition; they were somewhat similar to the Red Gyarados that I had encountered in the Lake of Rage.

"So they were also forcibly enraged by electricity and used as fighting force?" Nanfeng guessed that the red Gyarados in the bustling city of Lake of Rage was not a coincidence, but because Dr. Nanbo was conducting experiments nearby!

Nanfeng took out a Poké Ball and recalled Garchomp, while Mega Gardevoir also took a half step back.

Throw out another Poké Ball.

"Banji!!"

With a deafening roar, Tyranitar makes its furious entrance! A fierce wind sweeps across the face, and yellow sand rises!

Its arrival was like an earthquake!

"Boom!" The earth trembled, the entire hall shook, and a violent shockwave spread out like a tide, shattering the ground wherever it passed.

Although the two Weavile looked ferocious and crazy, their fighting instincts remained. They immediately leaped onto the walls on either side of the ground to avoid the damage from the earthquake.

At the same time, a prompt appeared in front of Nanfeng.

[3 minutes and 27 seconds until Awa arrives!]

"Oh dear... the noise is too loud. I guess A-Du heard that there's a battle going on here." Nanfeng thought that as long as he didn't press the button, A-Du wouldn't come over.

It seems that summoning A-Du involves more than just pressing a button.

"We need to speed things up and solve this!"

Nanfeng snapped his fingers. "Rockfall!"

"Banji!"

Tyranitar opened its arms, and the ceiling of the entire hall instantly turned pitch black. It was a passage connecting to another world, from which countless fist-sized rocks rained down, densely packed, each one sharp and angular.

This time, neither of the two Weavile could avoid it. They ran no more than three meters before being buried by the avalanche.

Being countered by rock-type abilities, they are destined never to climb out.

[Defeat Mavila (Wrath) LV69, gain 7220 experience]

[Defeat Mavila (Wrath) LV71, gain 7783 experience]

The tips and tricks have been provided, and their anger has been specifically highlighted.

"This Tyranitar is so ferocious and brutal, it's definitely a very good test subject!" Dr. Nanbo, seeing Weavile defeated, was not disappointed or angry at all. Instead, his eyes lit up as he looked at Tyranitar with greed!

“Yes, that’s right, I agree with you, but Dr. Minami, you’d better think about how to defeat him first,” Athena complained. Nanfeng’s fighting power was a bit beyond her expectations. Sensing something was wrong, she prepared to make a run for it.

· ······Requesting 0 flowers ········

But just as Athena dared to retreat and prepare to run into the deeper room, Mega Gardevoir had already appeared in the passage ahead of her, its cold, beautiful eyes staring at her without any emotion.

"This is an attempt to wipe me out!" Athena said coldly. "Then don't blame me for being impolite."

Suddenly, a Poké Ball was thrown, but it was aimed at Southwind.

"Venomous fangs"

The Poké Ball opened in mid-air, and a Crobat flew out, its sharp fangs tinged with a faint purple. In the next instant, it transformed into a black shadow, nimbly leaping over Tyranitar and rushing straight at Nanfeng.

0.....0

Capture the thief first and capture the king!

In Athena's opinion, the best way to defeat an opponent is to kill the trainer!

Once Southwind is killed, its Pokémon will be defeated without a fight. Hmm, this Mega Gardevoir is very beautiful. In a moment, it will be mine!

Faced with Crobat's sudden attack, Nanfeng remained calm. Since he was able to send Mega Gardevoir to block Athena's retreat, he must have already thought of a way to protect himself.

Just as Crobat was only one meter away from Southwind, a Poké Ball on Southwind's waist opened automatically.

A little blue chubby guy jumped out and greeted the Crossbat very politely.

"so~that~sei! (Hello~~)"

Because the Team Rocket base was too small, Nanfeng replaced the red Gyarados with Wobbuffet at the Pokémon Center in Kaji Town before entering the dungeon.

"Double the return!" Nanfeng shouted softly.

"Thump!" Crobat crashed headfirst into Wobbuffet.

Sure enough, the cockroach puffed out its belly, and the crossbat was immediately flung away, and it would also suffer double the damage from its own venomous fangs!

Unfortunately, Double Strike is a Fighting-type move, so it doesn't do much damage to Crobat, which is 4x resistant to Flying and Poison moves.

Blaziken, Charge Flame!

"Gardedor, Flash!"

Southwind sends out Blaziken again, because Professor Nanbo has released two more rampaging Pokémon under his control—two cunning Thousand Dogs! 8.
