Dragonite Wade's Dragon Army and Giovanni's Ground-type army launched a team battle.
However, anyone who understands the difference in strength between these two knows that the outcome has already been decided.
"What just happened?"
Cynthia looked dumbfounded in front of her phone, completely unable to understand why Dark Mewtwo had clearly been knocked away by Dark Kyurem, but suddenly appeared behind the opponent?
Instant Transmission?
Impossible, after taking that Glaciate Volt, how could it still be standing?
Could it be an illusion then?
That's not right either, billions of eyes saw it, the attack definitely hit.
If Champion-level Trainer Cynthia was like this, then Sonia and Nessa were even more so.
Even Erika, who had been following Su Sheng the longest, had a similar expression.
Su Sheng explained, "The Dark Mewtwo that was knocked away was a Substitute."
"Substitute?"
The women frowned even more.
Basically every Pokémon can learn the move "Substitute", which consumes some of their own stamina to create a meat shield that looks exactly like them.
Although it's a godly skill in the games, it can't attack or move.
So basically no trainer in the real world uses this move.
Anyway, Su Sheng had never seen anyone use this move when he watched the anime in his previous life.
Su Sheng continued to explain, "When White Kyurem used Fusion Flare to burn the battlefield into a sea of fire, Dark Mewtwo used the cover of the flames to hide in the sea of fire, and sacrificed a lot of stamina to create a Substitute to fight Kyurem, just to aim for the moment when Wade and Kyurem thought they had won, and give them a fatal blow."
"That's not right, Ah Sheng,"
Erika frowned, puzzled, "If according to you, the Mewtwo that was knocked away by Dark Kyurem in the end was a Substitute, but it clearly fought the opponent before, the Substitute shouldn't have that ability, right?"
At first glance, the Substitute move looks a bit like the Shadow Clone from the Naruto set.
But it has a huge weakness, which is that it doesn't have the ability to move, let alone fight.
Although it has a certain ability to withstand hits, if they could choose, 99% of the trainers would probably want the Substitute to have the ability to move rather than the ability to withstand hits, even if it shattered with one touch like the Shadow Clone in Naruto.
"Aren't Psychic-type Pokémon very good at using Psychic?"
Su Sheng's rhetorical question made everyone's expression change again.
Will, who was also a Psychic-type trainer, was the first to react, and said in disbelief, "You mean, Mewtwo used Psychic to control its Substitute to fight Kyurem?!"
This kind of operation is not difficult to understand, after all, before the Team Rocket trio grew up a few years ago, when fighting those powerful enemies in team battles, Will often used his Psychic-type Pokémon to support Su Sheng and Erika.
Among them, using Psychic to grab teammates and help them move in the air was a common tactic.
And even Will, who has now grown to be a Champion-level trainer, can't make his Pokémon use Psychic to control a Substitute to fight, and the opponent is still a top Legendary!
MEGA Dark Mewtwo can do this.
But if it's a head-on battle, this kind of petty trick is completely painless to the Tao Dragon Kyurem.
So Giovanni chose to use a trick, and only made a move when Kyurem mistakenly thought it had won and completely lowered its guard.
"It backfired."
Looking at the Dragon Army being wiped out by Giovanni's Ground-type army in the live broadcast, Cynthia's expression was complicated.
In her opinion, it was already a risky move for Chairman Goodshow to choose to broadcast this crusade to show the world the power of the League.
Although the League has been losing year after year in recent years, and urgently needs to show its strength to the public to regain its reputation.
But have you ever thought about what would happen if you lost?
But Cynthia's idea is a bit of hindsight.
After all, with a lineup like Dragonite Wade + Tao Dragon Kyurem + Leon + Eternatus.
Who would have thought they would lose?
You can only blame Dragonite Wade for insisting on a one-on-one fight.
"Let's go, we have to save the situation."
Su Sheng greeted everyone.
...
...
"Mr. Wade!"
On-site in Cianwood City, many League elites led by Leon have returned.
Now that Giovanni has lost the trump card of Dark Mewtwo, and Leon's Eternatus is still basically in full condition.
The outcome seems to be decided.
But the League side did not dare to act rashly.
Because Beedrill's stinger is against Dragonite Wade's neck.
Giovanni's side lost two main members, Golem and Nidoqueen, who lost their ability to fight.
On Dragonite Wade's side, all the dragons are lying on the ground and can't get up!
After seeing this scene, countless people around the world were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
This, this change in the battle situation is too fast, right?!
"I heard you've been looking for me all this time, haven't you had enough? Huh?"
"It seems you really want to fight me, do you have the strength to fight my Team Rocket?"
Giovanni, with his back to Leon and the others, mocked as if the League people who came were non-existent:
"Your broken dragons are useless? Huh?"
Giovanni looked up and down at Dragonite Wade, noticed that there was still a Poké Ball left on the other's belt, grabbed it and placed it in front of Dragonite Wade.
"You didn't bring a dragon? Here, I'll give you one."
Dragonite Wade's eyes were about to burst into flames.
Through the translucent ball cover, Dragonite Wade could clearly see the Dragonair inside, just like himself, full of unwillingness.
This Dragonair was the same one that Giovanni used strange medicine to turn back into a Dratini in the battle of the Indigo Plateau three years ago, his trump card Dragonite.
After three years, he has cultivated him back into a Dragonair, but...
"Take it!"
Giovanni suddenly shouted, scaring Lorelei, who was about to take action to save him.
However, Dragonite Wade just gritted his teeth and didn't take the ball.
Under his second cultivation, Dragonair already has the strength of a Top Elite Four.
This is already an unattainable existence for most trainers, but to fight Giovanni is simply a joke.
Giovanni raised his eyebrows, threw the ball at Dragonite Wade's feet, and said disdainfully, "Don't dare to fight? Huh? Not awesome anymore?"
"Okay, I'll give you another chance."
Giovanni stepped on the opening button of the Poké Ball and forcibly released Dragonair.
Nidoking stepped forward two steps and twisted Dragonair's throat, making it face its master's forehead.
Giovanni leaned over and got close to Dragonair, saying, "You give the order, my life is yours."
"Wade, I'll count to three, just three."
Outside the battlefield, Su Sheng, who had just walked out of the golden ring, almost couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.
Giovanni is obviously trying to trick Dragonite Wade.
If he really dares to give the order, Nidoking will never mind pinching Dragonair's throat first.
"One! Two!"
And Su Sheng can see this, of course Dragonite Wade can too.
Therefore, even though he was half-dead with anger in his heart, for the safety of his partner Dragonair, he still remained silent and did not dare to act rashly.
"Three!"
After hearing his master shout the last word, Nidoking grabbed Dragonair to the other side.
Giovanni slapped Dragonite Wade's red hair twice, hating that he couldn't make something of him, "I gave you a chance but you're useless! Huh? I gave you a chance but you're useless!"
"Everyone in the world is a witness, huh? I gave you a chance today and you didn't seize it, so don't blame me."
"I'll tell you clearly, from now on, anyone who calls me and Team Rocket people in public must call us 'Grandpa', otherwise I'll beat you once I see you!"
Countless people in front of the TV were silent.
Before this operation, Chairman Goodshow had mentioned countless times in interviews and on social platforms that this was the last job he would do as the League Chairman.
It was obvious that he wanted to draw a perfect end to his career.
In fact, not to mention the internal staff of the League, but anyone who had witnessed the battle of the Indigo Plateau three years ago could more or less guess that Team Rocket would intervene.
Originally, they thought that even if Su Sheng was not there, the League with two top Legends in hand would not be able to win a complete victory, at least it would be no problem to keep the peace, right?
As a result, they thought you were holding back something big, but it turned out you were pulling something big?
"Haha! Let's go! Let's go!"
Giovanni stretched his waist with a refreshed look and prepared to leave.
Because of Silver, he really couldn't kill Dragonite Wade.
But the humiliation he gave this mad dog today was even greater than killing him.
Anyone with eyes can see that.
The reason why this battle was lost was not the problem of Kyurem, but the problem of the trainer.
In the end, it was because Dragonite Wade's ability as a trainer was not as good as Giovanni's that he lost.
And Tao Dragon Kyurem is almost the strongest Pokémon in the world right now.
With such a partner, you still lost, there is no excuse at all!
"I can't let you leave like this, Mr. Giovanni."
Leon quickly stopped him, and Eternatus stood in front of Giovanni like a huge city wall.
Now that Dark Mewtwo has lost its ability to fight, Leon with Eternatus is fully capable of taking down the opponent.
But...
A huge golden ring rose out of thin air, and the Dark Bird God flew out of it.
It was Dark Lugia!
In the next second, Dark Lugia, flying out of the golden ring, opened its wings, and the man in its arms jumped down.
Joker!
"Actually won..."
Joker glanced at Dragonite Wade, who was kneeling on one knee and depressed, and disbelief appeared in the eyes under the mask.
If someone who knows him sees this scene, they will definitely can't help but be suspicious.
Because the temperament of this "Joker" is completely different from the impression.
"Damn..."
Leon, who has a good-old-person personality, rarely cursed.
As soon as Joker came, the situation was completely reversed.
Even with Eternatus now, he is not arrogant enough to defeat Joker, who has Dark Lugia, Hoopa Unbound and other Legends.
Not to mention that Joker's own quality as a trainer is also above him.
"How is the Sinnoh side? Has Dr. Su Sheng not returned yet?"
Leon asked in a low voice.
The helpless response of Chairman Goodshow's assistant came from the headset: "Champion Su Sheng just sent a message that Elite Four Cynthia is injured and is helping her heal, it will probably take two minutes to return."
"Two minutes... I should be able to hold on."
Leon bit his lip tightly, and stepped forward as if he was fighting two against one.
"Forget it, Champion Leon."
Joker raised his hand and made a gesture to stop him, "You with only Eternatus are not my opponent, and I am not in the mood to fight now."
After saying this, "Joker" muttered in his heart again: "And if I really fight you, I'm 80% sure I'll lose..."
"Let's go."
"Joker" winked at Giovanni and stepped into the golden ring together.
On the other side of the portal is one of Team Rocket's bases, Celadon Game Corner.
"Phew..."
"Joker" let out a long breath, the skin all over his body wriggled strangely, and his body also shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and those wriggling skins seemed to have self-awareness and gathered into a ball, it was actually a Ditto.
And "Joker" also revealed his true face, it was Blue!
When studying under Pryce, Blue's disguise skills had already been honed to perfection.
This is also the reason why she has not been caught back since she escaped from Pryce.
And after she showed this ability, she became Su Sheng's exclusive substitute.
Although Zoroark could also do this job before, Zoroark as a Pokémon can't speak after all, Blue is more suitable.
Apollo and a group of confidants came forward, preparing to congratulate.
They saw Giovanni showing a crazy expression and shouted: "Pass my order, Team Rocket will celebrate for three days, all expenses can be reimbursed!"
Looking at the boiling "colleagues", a strong ominous premonition surged in Blue's heart.
She also saw Giovanni's humiliation of Dragonite Wade today.
Although Blue was not adopted by the other party like Silver, she also knows more about the character of this Dragon-type Elite Four.
That person will never let it go.
...
...
"Sorry, I'm late, what's the situation?"
One minute after "Joker" and Giovanni left, Su Sheng also arrived at the scene through Hoopa's golden ring and asked anxiously.
And the dead silence of the scene has replaced the answer.
Chairman Goodshow, who seemed to be decades older, barely gave Su Sheng a smile that was even more ugly than crying, and then looked at Dragonite Wade, who was silent, with a sad face.
To be honest, at this moment, he would rather Dragonite Wade burst into flames and spit out abuse, than he would hold his emotions in his heart like this.
There is always a premonition of the calm before the storm.
"At least Team Plasma no longer exists, and the Galactic team has also been dealt with."
Su Sheng comforted.
"Tell that to Lusamine, I, a retired person, will not interfere."
Chairman Goodshow sighed.
Indeed, in recent years, the criminal organizations in various places have basically been wiped out, but the problem is that Team Rocket is getting stronger and stronger!
If possible, Chairman Goodshow would rather have more criminal organizations in various places, and does not want to give birth to a super thorn like Team Rocket.
After spending a few hours cleaning up the battlefield, Su Sheng once again used Hoopa's ability to send the League Champions from various regions back.
When Su Sheng woke up the next day, he saw a lot of news about himself.
Alola "Manalo Daily News": "The events of the past three years have proven to us that without Dr. Su Sheng, the alliance cannot defeat any enemy. Despite possessing the Tao Dragon Kyurem and Eternatus, the alliance army led by the Indigo League was still defeated by Team Rocket. Fortunately, the secret operation led by our Alola Champion, Dr. Su Sheng, to wipe out the Sinnoh crime organization Team Galactic has achieved complete victory."
Galar "Spikemuth Economic News": "This is all the fault of Indigo League Champion Lance! He placed his personal dignity above the interests of the team. If he had wholeheartedly supported Leon in yesterday's battle, the situation would not have deteriorated like this."
Sinnoh "Jubilife Television" announces a major news: Chairman Cyrus has unfortunately passed away due to a sudden illness. The new chairman will be succeeded by Dr. Satsuki. The former champion's grandmother said in an interview: "I didn't expect to be entrusted with such an important task at my old age. It's a pity that Cynthia has gone to Alola. If she has children in the future, I hope my great-grandchild can work in Sinnoh."
That evening, Hu Tao sat at the broadcasting desk of the Kanto "Vermilion Television" evening news, saying: "After communication between the regional leagues, Mr. Damalanchi, a legend who has served in the Pokémon League for over 30 years, has officially announced his retirement. Ms. Lusamine, the chairman of the Alola League, will take over as the new chairman of the Pokémon League. We believe she will lead the league into a new era."
......
......
Even though Damalanchi had hinted at this matter more than once in public before this Unova operation.
But when it was officially announced, it unexpectedly became the biggest news of the year, no less impactful than Lance's third crushing defeat to Giovanni.
Although the league has been losing battles and infiltrated by moles one after another in recent years.
It does not affect Damalanchi's position in the league, nor can it erase his past contributions to the league and the Pokémon continent.
[Cynthia is the woman who can become my mother]: "I have mixed feelings. Old man Damalanchi is retiring to the background. I feel like the Pokémon League organization is crumbling."
[Antigrass Fruit Erika]: "It's not that bad. Isn't there Su Sheng here to keep things in check? To be honest, the alliance army was also unlucky yesterday. If they had held on for one more minute, Su Sheng would have arrived."
[Iono's Original Magnemite]: "Isn't it because Lance is too selfish? He had to go for a one-on-one fight. If he had teamed up with Leon, they would have defeated Giovanni long ago!"
[Want to Eat Joker's Feet]: "I'm more curious about who can keep the hot-tempered members of the Indigo League in check after Damalanchi leaves."
[Aggron Wants Dora as Much as Possible]: "That's true. Except for Bruno, who is obedient, the other three are not easy to deal with, and they have terrible tempers. Who is the new chairman of the Indigo League? Can they handle them?"
......
......
Su Sheng, who was browsing his phone during dinner, saw this comment and thought it made a lot of sense.
The four Indigo Elite Four, except for Bruno, who has a relatively good temper, the other three are difficult to deal with.
In the past, the highly respected Damalanchi could keep them in check when he was in office.
Now that the old man is gone, Su Sheng can't imagine which new chairman can handle them.
That night, Su Sheng was pulled into the room by Lusamine to celebrate her becoming the new chairman of the league.
More than an hour later, Lusamine picked up her phone and turned it on, and found that Damalanchi had called her more than thirty times.
Lusamine couldn't stand it and turned off her phone when Damalanchi made the third call. She didn't expect the old man to be so persistent.
Something big must have happened.
As soon as Lusamine dialed back, the old man on the other end of the phone shouted in a tone of "Dad, you finally answered the phone!": "It's terrible! Lance has resigned!"
