Chapter 1: Erika's Revenge [Seeking Subscriptions and Tickets]
Hearing Sakaki's question, Sū Shèng momentarily fell into thought.
The villainous organizations want to overthrow the League, or rather, create a 'new world.'
He had grown somewhat tired of this kind of thing from playing games and watching anime in his previous and prior lives.
But in Sū Shèng's view, neither Team Flare's Lysandre nor Team Plasma's Ghetsis was as clever as Cipher's Greevil.
Indeed, their organizational strength, at their peak, surpassed the local League.
If the protagonist hadn't descended like a god, Team Flare and Team Plasma could have really brought down the Kalos and Unova Leagues.
However, Sū Shèng suspected they hadn't considered one issue—even if they dealt with the local League, wouldn't they worry about Leagues from other regions attacking them?
Cipher's timing was much more appropriate.
Greevil keenly seized the moment when the League was in a sensitive period, with champions like Drake and Agatha declining in strength year by year,
and new champions like Lance and Cynthia not yet fully evolved.
He launched an attack on the League.
His chances of overturning the League's rule were much higher than those of Team Plasma or Team Flare.
It's no exaggeration to say that,
as long as Team Rocket added fuel to the fire now,
the Pokémon League could really become history.
But, in Sū Shèng's opinion, the League's destruction wouldn't benefit him much.
And there was an even more crucial issue.
"Uncle, do you think we can become the new rulers if the League is gone?"
Sū Shèng asked rhetorically.
"Hmm?"
Sakaki's expression faltered.
Sū Shèng's voice came again, "If we help Cipher destroy the League, the outcome will just be that our two organizations fight again later. Even if we win against Cipher, will the people of this world submit to us? What will we do then? Kill all the dissenters?"
Sakaki was silent for a moment. Indeed, this was a problem.
Sū Shèng's current situation was very similar to the situation at the end of the pirate world in his previous life.
That is, many forces wanted to overthrow the world's overlord, the World Government.
Although Sū Shèng didn't witness the end in his previous life, he was sure that the World Government would fall.
Because that organization was already rotten to the core, just waiting for someone to poke it lightly with a finger, and it would collapse.
The Pokémon League's position in the Pokémon world was indeed a bit like the World Government, both being symbols of ruling overlords.
But the difference was worlds apart.
The reason lies in the fact that the people of this world recognize the Pokémon League.
Indeed, the Pokémon League itself also had problems.
Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a situation where five out of the eight main gym leaders in the Kanto region were from Team Rocket.
But overall, it was still clean.
If you overthrow it, the hundreds of millions of people at the bottom won't recognize your rule.
What can you do then?
Kill all those who disagree?
Damn, that's even more of a bastard than the Celestial Dragons.
"So, we're going to help the League? To be honest, I really don't want to."
Sakaki rarely showed his temper.
He also admitted that it was impossible for Team Rocket to replace the League.
But to help the League, he felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
"Why don't you pretend you didn't see anything? Just ignore it,"
Sū Shèng said with a light smile.
"That won't work. Celadon City is one of the Kanto Gyms closest to the Indigo Plateau. If I don't go, they will definitely suspect me after this war is over."
Currently, Sakaki still didn't want to lose his disguise as the Celadon City Gym Leader.
He still needed to use this identity to do some things.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Sakaki had a flash of inspiration and thought of a good idea.
"That's right, we don't necessarily have to help either the League or Cipher. Why don't we fight both sides?"
Hearing Sakaki's words, Sū Shèng's mind couldn't turn around for a moment.
No, no, are you serious, Uncle?
"Haha, of course, it's not as simple as directly attacking the League and Cipher. My plan is..."
Sakaki described his thoughts to Sū Shèng in detail.
After listening, Sū Shèng couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart.
Having transmigrated twice, Sakaki was the most scheming person he had ever met.
Sakaki's plan, in summary, was to destroy Cipher while greatly weakening the League's strength, so that although the League could survive this calamity, it wouldn't have the strength to attack Team Rocket for a long time.
For example, it's a bit like the Blackbeard Pirates in the Marineford War in his previous life.
Who won the Marineford War?
On the surface, it seemed like the Navy, because the Whitebeard Pirates' captain, Whitebeard, died, and the prospective captain, Ace, also died.
And on the Navy's side, the main force basically survived.
However, as third-party readers, everyone knew that the real winner was the Blackbeard Pirates led by Marshall D. Teach.
And now, Sakaki wanted to be Blackbeard again!
...
...
As Lance's Gyarados, Lorelei's Lapras, and Dewgong successively lost their ability to fight,
the Indigo League side gradually fell behind.
One reason was the defeat of a Champion-level and two Elite Four-level powerful Pokémon.
Another important factor was that the trainers on the League's side also had to protect the viewers who had just been frozen by Articuno while fighting Cipher.
However, the Pokémon strengthened by dark power, not to mention how much their power was enhanced,
just the fact that they had their emotions sealed off and couldn't feel pain.
was enough to give most trainers a headache.
"Geodude, Rollout!"
The current Pewter City Gym Leader, Takeo, who was also the father of Brock, the most famous male mother in the Pokémon world, sent out Geodude's evolved form, Graveler, to join the battle after his Onix was defeated.
Although he was described as mediocre when Erika challenged the Kanto region before,
that was only relative to a monster like Erika.
Being able to serve as a Gym Leader in the Kanto region.
Takeo had his own merits more or less.
At least it was like that compared to ordinary trainers.
"Don't get in the way!"
After Graveler in Rollout state continuously knocked away two of Cipher's dark Pokémon, a Cipher member who looked like a gorilla jumped out.
It was Gorukigan, the Cipher mid-level executive whom Sū Shèng and his group had met in Ilex Forest half a year ago.
Gorukigan, whose arms almost reached the ground, threw out a Poké Ball.
A steel behemoth landed in front of the rolling Graveler.
It was Aggron!
And the dark fluctuations faintly visible on the surface... without a doubt, it was also in a darkened state!
The long tail behind Aggron bloomed with metallic light, and as its body twisted.
Its tail met the rolling Graveler like a baseball bat.
Iron Tail!
The muffled sound and Graveler's painful cry overlapped.
The spherical Graveler flew out like a baseball hit by a home run.
Falling towards the arena entrance behind, those viewers who had been frozen in place by Articuno at the beginning.
"No!!!"
In front of the TV, many family members of the frozen people turned pale and roared at the scene.
If Graveler smashed down... they couldn't imagine the consequences!
"Machamp!"
Bruno's shout rang out.
A humanoid Pokémon with four arms jumped up, and its four arms opened wide to hug the falling Graveler.
Boom—
At the moment of landing, cracks appeared on the silver-white frozen ground.
Bruno!
He was the only top combat force among the Indigo Elite Four who didn't find a Cipher executive to fight one-on-one.
He called out his Fighting-type Pokémon to open an unblockable attack among the soldiers, avoiding the attacks of Cipher's lackeys from affecting a large number of frozen viewers.
"Huff..."
For a time, I don't know how many viewers slumped to the ground.
Really, it was a close call...
"I'll block them! You guys quickly move the frozen people away!"
Bruno turned his head and shouted at many police officers and League trainers.
He was probably the only one among the Indigo Elite Four who still valued the lives of the victims.
The other three, whether due to subjective or objective factors.
were busy fighting with Cipher's high-level combat forces and didn't have time to worry about anything else.
Pa!
Just as Bruno finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound of hitting behind him.
The only normal person among the future Indigo Elite Four turned his head to look behind him.
He saw a thick rock arm waving gently without using any moves.
Those "ice sculptures" were as fragile as biscuits and were shattered all over the ground.
Regirock!
And beside it was his former colleague, former Indigo Elite Four, Cipher Senior Executive, Aldus!
"Aldus, you!"
Bruno instantly turned red.
"Do you care about these things?"
Aldus put his hands behind his back and said expressionlessly.
Pa!
Saying that, Regirock waved its hand again.
And smashed two more "ice sculptures" to pieces.
"Stop it!"
Under Bruno's roar, Machamp made a hand knife shape with its four arms and attacked Regirock with Karate Chop.
However, at the last moment when the hand knife was only less than half a meter away from Regirock's face.
Machamp's body was frozen in place and couldn't move forward at all.
Machamp looked down and found that its feet had been frozen in place.
Looking up again.
He saw Regice slowly floating out from behind Regirock.
"How foolish, to lose your composure for these ants."
Aldus said disdainfully.
Although he basically hadn't acted with the other three Elite Four, Aldus also knew that Bruno was the only one among the four who had "humanity."
As long as the hostages were in hand, his threat would be greatly reduced.
Aldus's eyes behind his sunglasses moved slightly.
Regirock raised its huge arm again, but not at Machamp, but at the surrounding "ice sculptures."
Bruno was furious, "Didn't I tell you to stop?!"
He released Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, two main forces, in one breath, and used Sky Uppercut and High Jump Kick to attack Regirock respectively.
"I said, it's better not to care about the lives of these wastes."
Regice opened its hands, and under the sunlight, two silver-white ice spears shot out from its palms.
Ice Beam!
Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan were hit in the side at the same time.
At the moment of losing their balance in pain, Regirock, who had originally attacked the "ice sculptures", twisted its wrist.
Its fists landed on their sides where they had just been hit by Ice Beam.
Boom! Boom!
Instantly, Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan felt like their internal organs were about to shift.
Cough!
The two Elite Four main forces drew an arc in the air like kites with broken strings and fell heavily.
Some trainers with good eyesight at the scene could even see them coughing up a mouthful of blood just now in the air.
"Elite Four Bruno!"
"Damn it! Aldus, that damn traitor!"
"Damn it, after inheriting Elite Four Lorelei, Elite Four Bruno's two main forces also..."
The departure of Bruno's Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan plunged the trainers at the scene and the people around the world who supported the League into a wave of sadness.
"Are you guys okay?!"
Bruno turned his head and shouted at his two partners who had fallen far away.
To be honest, at this moment, he should have focused all his attention on his opponent.
But concern for his partners overcame reason.
Sure enough, Aldus didn't miss this opportunity.
"The first Indigo Elite Four will end here."
Aldus's voice like a messenger from hell rang out.
Regirock raised its rock arm high, and the heavy fist covered a layer of air, like a meteorite falling.
"Bruno!"
In the Hoenn region, Brawly, the Fighting-type Gym Leader who had a good relationship with Bruno, shouted out of voice.
I don't know how many people around the world subconsciously closed their eyes and didn't dare to look.
Countless people had already imagined the scene of Bruno being smashed into meat sauce by a legendary Pokémon.
Hiss~~ Huff!
However, a black and red flame fell from the sky.
Hitting Regirock's heavy fist from the side, which was less than half a meter away from Bruno's head.
Regirock still wanted to exert force to punch.
However, in an instant, the black and red flames burned even more vigorously.
Forcibly pushing Regirock out!
Bruno turned his head to look in the direction where the flame was emitted.
The world also saw that strange Fire-type bird with black and red flames burning all over its body, exuding an evil beauty.
And the white-haired girl standing on its back!
Sonia shouted: "It's Karen! That's great, I almost forgot about her."
Lana's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure, "If it's her, she should be able to help Kanto reverse the battle."
Steven Stone: "Could it be that she knew Aldus's undercover identity from the beginning, so she locked on to him?"
Saying that, Steven Stone shouted to the pilot next to him: "Accelerate! Go to the Indigo Plateau at the fastest speed!"
That's right, just like Steven Stone supported the Kalos League against Team Flare in the original book.
Now he is taking the Stone family's private plane to the Indigo Plateau.
As early as when Lance was at a disadvantage, Steven Stone asked his family to arrange a plane.
Unlike the situation in Kalos in the future, Steven Stone also pulled Wallace along.
And Cynthia also dispatched.
Because Hoenn and Sinnoh where they are located are closer to Kanto, maybe it's still in time.
Although the elites from other regions are also running to the Indigo Plateau, 99% of them are too late.
...
...
"Get out of the way! He is my prey!"
Karen glanced at Bruno with her slanting eyes, her tone cold and murderous.
At this time, Bruno also remembered that this "Karen" had pointed out to reporters more than once that she wanted to challenge Aldus when she participated in the Indigo Conference.
Do these two really have some past?
But in any case, it was great that she was willing to join the battle with her strength.
Bruno quickly took a few steps back, and said worriedly: "Is it okay? The other side has the three Regis."
"Humph!"
Pear Blossom only responded with a cold snort.
The Galarian Moltres beneath her flapped its wings, black and red flames blotting out the sky as they descended towards Arcues and the Regi trio below.
“Do I have some kind of grudge with you? Hmm… never mind, it's not important.”
Noticing the genuine killing intent in the young girl's eyes, Arcues subconsciously asked.
But in the next second, he dismissed the question from his mind.
Unlike his brother, who was soft-hearted, he showed no mercy when killing.
He could even say that he couldn't remember them all.
To borrow Gin's words, "I never remember the faces and names of those I've killed."
Facing the Galarian Moltres's exclusive move, Fiery Wrath.
Regirock raised both arms high and slammed them heavily onto the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Giant, sharp, thorn-like rocks rose from the ground, overlapping and converging to form a wall of rock thorns.
It's Stone Edge!
Black and red flames collided with Stone Edge.
Countless cracks spread to the sides and all around, causing the walls of the arena to fracture, yet they didn't stop.
Beep beep beep!
Just then, red lights inexplicably appeared on the Galarian Moltres's chest.
Like the infrared targeting point of a sniper rifle.
It was “Lock-On,” ensuring the next attack would hit with 100% accuracy!
“Careful! It's a Railgun!”
Lorelei, who had released all her remaining Pokémon to carry the "ice sculptures," even holding one in each hand herself, turned her head and shouted.
Registeel, the last of the Regi trio, stood beside Regirock, palms facing each other, condensing a high-density ray of light into a ball.
Bang——
In the next instant, the railgun between Registeel's claws transformed into a beam of golden light, shooting out.
Seeing this, the Galarian Moltres, carrying Pear Blossom, ascended rapidly.
Dodging the attack with all its might.
However, the railgun was like it had a tracking system; no matter if the Moltres turned, ascended, or descended.
The railgun followed closely behind.
First use Lock-On to aim at the opponent, then launch the attack; it's guaranteed to hit!
“Miss Karin is in a dangerous situation!”
Nanami, who had fled to the mountainside with her younger siblings and many other civilians, turned her head to look at the mountain and shouted, seeing Pear Blossom and the Galarian Moltres being chased by the railgun.
“Isn't Ash here?”
Professor Oak asked, remembering something.
Where is Ash?
The current situation urgently needed the assistance of a powerful trainer.
If he joined the battle, the situation would be different, right?
And that chubby kid with Articuno.
If those two joined, the battle situation would more or less favor the League, right?
“Brother Ash went on a trip yesterday, said he was going to rescue a trainer he knew who was in danger.”
Brock replied.
“Why did it have to be at this time…”
Professor Oak gritted his teeth.
……
Pear Blossom, kneeling on one knee on the back of the Galarian Moltres, glanced back at the thunderous light cannon, then lowered her eyes to look at Arcues below.
Pear Blossom patted the Moltres's back.
The Galarian Moltres understood, instantly accelerating and diving towards the ground, aiming at Arcues.
Like a meteor dragging red and black flames.
Arcues, as a veteran Elite Four member, instantly saw through Pear Blossom's plan.
“Heh~ You want to fly towards me and change direction at the last moment, so that I get hit by the railgun myself, huh?”
Saying that, the Regi trio in front of Arcues stepped forward, making the exact same gesture of palms facing each other, condensing balls of lightning.
“Do you think these petty tricks will work on me?!”
Accompanied by Arcues's shout, in the next instant, the volume of the three railguns in the palms of the Regi trio expanded by another third.
“It won't work! Even if they are all Legendary Pokémon, facing three Legendary Pokémon of the same attribute at once, with four times the power of the electric railgun, it's impossible to block it!”
Darach shouted in dismay.
Just as the railgun initially fired by Registeel, chasing behind Pear Blossom, and the triple railgun now concentrated in the palms of the Regi trio, were about to form a pincer attack to besiege Pear Blossom and the Galarian Moltres at the last moment.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh——
Invisible ripples fell from the sky, covering Arcues and the Regi trio.
Because the Regi trio had no facial features, others couldn't judge their expressions from their faces.
However, the Regi trio's movements seemed to be paused for a moment, and the railguns in their palms couldn't be fired immediately.
Arcues, as a veteran Elite Four member, knelt on one knee on the ground.
Around them, dozens of trainers belonging to Shadow Triad and the League.
One by one, they fell to the ground, their eyes rolling back, as if they had been hit on the back of the head with a club.
Please continue to support me in the new month, and please give me more gifts, thank you.
