Joker, witnessing this scene, was equally stunned.
Using Aptx4869 on Lance was something Giovanni had mentioned before.
Although many years had passed, he still remembered it.
After all, staging a 'Detective Conan' plot on the number one 'forceful' character in the Pokémon world seemed quite amusing.
But what startled Joker was that Giovanni actually used this thing on Lance's Dragonite.
However, upon further reflection, it wasn't entirely unreasonable.
After all, the main reason Aptx4869 had such a significant impact on Shinichi Kudo was due to Ran Mouri's presence.
Therefore, the theory held by many readers in his previous life that Ran Mouri, who doesn't advance the main storyline, has no reason to exist is somewhat flawed.
Because if Shinichi weren't worried about Ran being taken away, he probably wouldn't be so eager to search for the syndicate's information to obtain the antidote.
But Lance doesn't have this concern.
Even if his body turned from 20 to 10 years old, he would still be a trainer and investigator.
Although he has a childhood friend Lorelei, he doesn't have any romantic interest in her.
Or rather, for Lance, this Dragonite, who grew up with him throughout his childhood, is his 'Ran Mouri'.
And the current situation is not just about Dragonite 'shrinking'.
It's about destroying Dragonite's efforts of the past 10 years, or rather, the results of 10 years of diligent training!
Lance, holding the fainted Dratini in his arms, fell silent with lifeless eyes, the scenes of the past 10 years spent with Dragonite flashing through his mind like a revolving lantern.
After an unknown amount of time, Lance suddenly raised his head, his red hair in disarray, veins bulging on his forehead, a thousand words turning into one sentence:
"I'm going to kill you!!!"
It's no exaggeration to say that if Lance had Saiyan blood, he could transform right now.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of flames burning rose from high in the sky.
Two of Lance's Dragonair simultaneously used Dragon Rush and descended.
Their momentum was astonishing!
However, Giovanni's eyes under his bowler hat were as if he were watching children playing house.
"How amusing."
Instantly, Beedrill was like a great swordsman wielding dual swords.
Its arm needles, in a thrusting formation, went up to meet them on the left and right!
Immediately, an astonishing scene occurred.
Despite being one against two, and Beedrill being in a disadvantageous lower position.
It actually withstood the Dragon Rush of the two Dragonair, pushing them back!
Actually, it's not surprising.
The position of these two Dragonair in Lance's team is as support.
Although they possess Elite Four-level combat power, which is already a powerful force that ordinary trainers can only look up to.
But don't forget, their opponent now is Giovanni's Beedrill.
"Support Lance!"
Drake shouted loudly.
Having lost Dragonite, Lance couldn't possibly be Giovanni's opponent.
Not to mention that Lance was clearly losing his mind now.
After all, the element of strength increasing with anger only applies to Saiyans.
For ordinary people, especially trainers.
If you lose your composure, you can only become weaker, not stronger.
"Machamp!"
Bruno shouted.
A Machamp quickly rushed up.
Its right fist burned with flames, smashing towards Beedrill.
Fire Punch!
Feeling that annoying high-temperature heat.
Beedrill exerted force, repelling the two Dragonair.
The sharp tip of its right arm surged with venom, fiercely meeting the Fire Punch.
Poison Jab!
During the stalemate.
A Haunter flew in from the other side.
Its hands passed through Lance's armpits from behind, lifting him up, obviously wanting to take him away from the battlefield.
"Let go of me! I'm going to kill him!"
Lance struggled and roared.
Giovanni smiled as if watching a clown show, "See, he doesn't appreciate it."
Although his temper isn't great, Lance isn't the type to be easily provoked.
It's mainly because Giovanni's trick today was too damaging.
It's really dancing on Lance's minefield.
The effect is no less than saying to Sasuke Uchiha, "She never loved you at all".
"Woo!"
At this moment, Machamp cried out in pain, having been forced back by Beedrill.
Beedrill's compound eyes turned, and it locked onto Lance again.
"Let's cut off an arm first."
Giovanni thought to himself.
Giovanni wasn't in a hurry to take Lance's life this time, turning this guy's trump card Dragonite into a Dratini.
This was too interesting, Giovanni wanted to see what impact it would have on Lance.
But taking away one of his arms shouldn't affect anything, right?
"Hey, old man, watch out below."
Joker's reminder suddenly came.
Giovanni's expression behind his collar changed slightly.
Looking down, he saw a semi-transparent ghost hand emerging from the shadow between his feet.
Beedrill changed its hand gesture.
The sharp stinger swept towards the ghost hand.
Seeing this, the ghost hand hurriedly retracted into the shadow.
This move is...
Giovanni squinted his eyes and looked towards Agatha in the distance.
Sure enough, a Gengar floated out from behind her.
And Haunter also took advantage of this opportunity to knock Lance unconscious with a chop to the back of his neck.
Letting him be temporarily honest, it quickly floated past Agatha.
"Damn old woman."
Giovanni clicked his tongue in displeasure.
Under the identity of Team Rocket's boss, he could only use Beedrill, one Pokémon.
Although even if he brought out Ground-type Pokémon, the League wouldn't necessarily suspect him.
After all, it's normal for powerful trainers to have the same type of Pokémon.
The problem is that his combat style for commanding Ground-type Pokémon has been studied by countless people, and it's too easy to expose himself when he takes action.
"Lance's Dragonite was... Damn Team Rocket, how many things that harm the country and the people have you invented! ?"
Drake, who always appeared as a kind old man, couldn't help but swear.
Not to mention the strange mechanical arm that can forcibly capture Pokémon that already have owners, now there's another thing that can forcibly devolve Pokémon.
What's even more frustrating is that Drake found that whether it's future stars like Wallace and Diantha.
Or old pillars like Agatha and Alder.
Everyone is now a little timid.
After all, the fate of Lance's Dragonite was too horrifying.
No one wants their Pokémon to return to square one overnight!
"Everyone, don't be afraid, just attack."
Giovanni said with a smile:
"Aptx4869 has already been used on that Champion Lance, my Beedrill no longer has the power to devolve Pokémon."
However, even if Giovanni himself said so, it still didn't give the League's trainers much confidence.
After all, who knows if what the enemy says is true or false.
"What do you want to do?"
At this time, Archer had also blocked Diantha with Darkrai, preventing her from approaching the "Su Sheng" in the rear.
"Darkrai... Although that guy Dahl didn't bring out your potential, you don't need to work for these criminals who harm peace!"
Diantha bit her pink lips tightly, looking at the Nightmare Pokémon, who had defeated her and her Pokémon many times when she was young, with complicated eyes.
"You want to use words because you can't win?"
Archer stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, looking very much like Orochimaru, who bewitched Sasuke, "Stop dreaming, Darkrai has already despaired of your trash childhood friend, not to mention that he gave Darkrai to me himself in Hoenn."
"Okay, disappear."
As soon as Archer finished speaking, Darkrai held his palms together, and in the blink of an eye, a dark sphere of extreme depth condensed.
Having fought this Darkrai countless times, how could Diantha not recognize what this was?
Nightmare God's exclusive skill - Dark Void!
"Dr. Su Sheng!"
Diantha frowned, feeling the huge pressure from that dark sphere.
Rumble——
Just then, a roar of thunder came from the left battlefield.
Diantha turned her head to look.
A thunderbolt descended from the sky, striking down the Dark-type Moltres that was originally covering Zinzolin's escape.
Even in this battlefield full of explosion sounds from moves, this thunder sound was particularly clear.
Looking down, the one who unleashed this thunderbolt.
It was a mutated Raikou with a neck as long as an Alolan Exeggutor, and dense mane covering the lower half of its face like thunderclouds!
The next second, an Ultra Ball was thrown out, hitting the falling Flame God Bird.
Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~
The Poké Ball containing Moltres kept shaking, and after two seconds, it fell into the palm of a mechanical hand below.
Thump~
Also at the moment of falling, the button in the center of the Ultra Ball came the prompt sound of successful capture.
Moltres was captured by Joker!
"As expected of our Team Rocket's King, capturing Legendaries is simply a matter of course for him."
The corners of Archer's mouth turned up, making that unique eunuch sound again.
Interesting, really interesting, working with this group of people is really too interesting!
For a time, the situation was extremely unfavorable.
Looking at "Su Sheng", who was guarding by Bewear's side and letting two Psychic-type Pokémon heal it, Diantha shouted, as if facing Gatanothor calling for the Giant of Light:
"Help us! Dr. Su Sheng!!!"
Diantha's shout seemed to awaken the memories of everyone on the League's side.
They all turned their heads to look at the man on the edge of the battlefield.
After fighting Dark Lugia with the last punch, everyone saw that Bewear's state had reached the point of exhaustion.
Therefore, they subconsciously felt that Su Sheng had no way to join the battle again.
But now, everyone realized that Articuno Xiao Pang had arrived on the battlefield, sending two Psychic-type Pokémon to perform emergency treatment on that incredibly strong Bewear.
More importantly, there's also a Zacian next to it!
"Su Sheng is going to go up again!"
Green shouted excitedly.
"Are Gardevoir and Slowbro using Heal Pulse to treat Bewear? But that's just emergency treatment, it consumes so much, it can't be recovered without resting for a few days."
Green frowned.
The healing moves in the Pokémon world are actually quite similar to the medical ninjutsu in the Naruto world.
There is no problem in performing emergency treatment on the battlefield, but to allow Bewear to recover from such high-intensity battles just now.
More importantly, it's still time.
"It's okay, now the Doctor has Zacian!"
Nanami said confidently.
Aunt Hanako sighed, "Su Sheng just had such a fierce battle for us, and now he has to... Alas, we adults should really feel ashamed."
"Don't worry, Mom, I will become a Pokémon Master, and then I will protect everyone!"
Xiao Zhi waved his fist.
"Pika Pika!"
The Pika on his shoulder raised its little short hand and responded.
Obviously, their relationship has officially completed the transformation.
……
……
"Su Sheng" looked at Joker blankly, his eyes filled with "Master, this is different from the script!"
However, in the eyes of the whole world, this look represents "The moment the trainer's eyes meet, it is the signal for battle"!
Is it starting?
Su Sheng vs. Joker!
The strongest duel in the history of the Elf Continent... no!
Joker was numb again.
In fact, according to his original plan.
It was to first let Su Sheng take Bewear to beat Dark Lugia to low health, and then Joker would take out the capture device to capture it.
There are two reasons.
One is that to deal with the full-blooded Dark Lugia, only Bewear can do it in his team.
Umbreon is inferior.
Secondly, the capture device is a bit... dark in effect.
If it is used with a surface identity, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary controversy.
Although Su Sheng would not care about other people's comments as much as Konoha Baiya, it would be better to have less trouble.
Why not?
The original plan went smoothly.
Bewear successfully knocked out more than 80% of Dark Lugia's blood, and Bewear itself was unable to continue fighting.
In this way, Su Sheng and Bewear can retire.
Then, Joker and the main force led by Umbreon will take action.
Reap the remaining 20% of Dark Lugia's blood, and then use the capture device to capture it.
That's it.
And the change is that Mew brought Zacian over.
A Behemoth Bash knocked out the remaining bit of blood that Joker was supposed to knock out.
Although it made it easier for Joker to capture Dark Lugia.
But I didn't expect things to turn out like this!
Because Bewear was no longer able to fight in the original plan.
Su Sheng naturally didn't need to fight anymore.
But now you still have Zacian!
Isn't it inappropriate not to enter the palace twice?
Looking at the eyes of "Su Sheng" full of "fighting spirit", Joker also secretly stroked his forehead.
It's really... an unexpected development.
As one of the few people in Team Rocket who knew that Su Sheng and Joker were the same person, Archer was both hesitant and excited.
The development of the situation completely exceeded expectations.
So next, how are you going to deal with it? King!
"Hey! How can this be? The Doctor just experienced such a fierce battle!"
Sonia couldn't help but complain for Su Sheng.
People have helped you defeat Dark Lugia, and now you want to help again?
Do you have to be so greedy!?
Lorelei also looked a little sad. Indeed, she felt the League was going too far this time.
Although the trainers themselves weren't fighting, such intense life-and-death battles would have a significant impact on their minds.
"I'm sorry, A-Sheng."
Damalanchi stepped forward and bowed deeply to "Su Sheng" in the distance.
"At this time, we can only rely on you."
At this moment, Su Sheng carried the hopes of the entire world.
But at this moment, "Su Sheng" himself felt quite complicated.
Damn it, this wasn't how the script was supposed to go!
Just then, "Su Sheng" noticed Joker nod almost imperceptibly.
Instantly, "Su Sheng" felt relieved.
He slowly stood up amidst the worried gazes of Sonia and Lorelei beside him.
The shield dog next to him blinked twice, noticed the gaze of the Bewear lying on the ground, and hurriedly followed.
In an instant, earth-shaking cheers echoed throughout the various regions of the Elf Continent.
At this moment, the dark aura stirred up by Dark Lugia had completely dissipated, and the increasingly dazzling sunlight shone down, dyeing "Su Sheng's" entire back with a layer of gold.
Instantly, countless girls and media outlets took screenshots.
Various news editors were already writing a headline for the article to be published on tomorrow's front page—
《The Savior of the Pokémon League》
