Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 396 Higana: The operation begins, come out, Dragon God!

It is imperative to extend the ideas of one-hit and combo styles to other attributes. After learning many styles, the ultimate goal is to develop one's own style.

Operational flow?
That seems to have gone beyond the concept of fighting skills...

Time flew by, and soon it was the night of the full moon.

Higana, along with the remnants of Team Lava and Team Aqua, began their operation.

That night, the entire city of Larousse was unusually quiet.

The city is brightly lit, yet inexplicably devoid of any human presence.

Not only were there no pedestrians on the streets, but even the wild elves had vanished without a trace.

Only a few robots invented by Iron Spin are still maintaining the city's most basic operations.

It seems everyone is gathered in the Battle Tower watching a certain trainer's 100th consecutive win.

The Team Magma and Team Aqua members, who quietly landed in Larousse City from underwater, couldn't help but marvel at the trainers' passion.

That makes sense; everyone is curious about the trainer who defeated the legendary Pokémon at the Rainbow Tournament.

If it weren't for the mission being so important, concerning the survival of Hoenn and even the planet, even members of both organizations would want to buy tickets to visit.

only……

“The third team is getting close to the eco-park, but I still feel like something is wrong.”

A-Quan, who led the team to attack areas with large crowds and dense Pokémon populations to draw fire, arrived at the ecological park, only to find that there were far fewer Pokémon than expected.

Growlithe, Vulpix, Arowana, Ironhide, Night Patrol...

Putting aside the stray dogs that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, are creatures like the Six-Tailed Fox really city spirits?

There are even night-patrolling spirits?
"Received, I'm at the location. You can decide what to do next."

Higana's voice was somewhat muffled on the walkie-talkie, probably due to signal interference.

A-Quan had no choice but to proceed according to plan, leading the Marine Team members in a public attack.

The alarm sounded quickly, and soon Officer Jenny and other security personnel would arrive.

Her job, along with the other teams, was to delay as much as possible, buying time for Higana's operation...

……

At the same time, in the Battle Tower, Link and Mash's open battle was in the middle of a break.

Porygon from the Pokédex brings news from the front: "'Otherworld' has begun its operation. Six locations in Larus City have been attacked, and several Gym Leaders are rushing to the scene to put out the fires. The laboratory's police force has been reduced to a minimum."

That's how it appears on the surface.

But Link didn't think many people could break through Daigo, Yu, and Haruka's defenses.

"How exactly does Higanbana plan to steal Deoxys...? Did you overhear anything?"

"No."

Link seemed lost in thought, unable to understand the other person's line of reasoning.

The mystery has been solved, but how will the other party proceed?

I couldn't figure it out no matter how much I thought about it, so I decided to let Daigo and the others think about it.

He has another match to fight next.

In the first half, Mastedt's Xeno'jiiva, Master Weasel, and Lop-eared Rabbit lost their ability to battle, while his side lost Arcanine and Dolphin.

At first glance, the situation seemed evenly matched, but Master Ma's long-eared rabbit used "Healing Wish" before it died to restore the water bear's strength.

Although Link guessed this move, he ultimately failed to defend against it.

Without being able to bring the Evil Phantom, only the Fire Fox and the Blazing Roaring Tiger were slightly better trained than the two Martial Arts Bear Masters, so he had to try his best to avoid being broken through by Masted... The halftime break passed quickly, and before long, he returned to the battlefield with the elves.

On the other hand, Daigo, who was at the research institute, turned off the TV and learned about the situation in the entire city of Larousse from Fuyou.

"My Night Watchers and Wandering Night Spirits have identified every location of the disturbance. Shall we go and deal with them immediately?"

"Didn't those people realize there's a ghost-based intelligence network underground in Larus City? Ghost-type Pokémon are just too convenient." Huayue, who had been listening to the battle livestream, couldn't help but complain. This versatile type is way too overpowered, both in battle and in real life.

Furong chuckled, "That's how powerful the Ghost type is."

However, that Porygon is no less impressive. Perhaps in the future, the Alliance will need to make great efforts to improve and develop Porygon as an expert on the Internet.

"Go ahead, you don't need to worry about the research institute."

Daigo subconsciously glanced at the "meteorite" still protected by Metagross, dismissing the phantom thief's overconfident attempt.

However, right after Furong and the others left, Xijiana, who had been planning all along, finally began to take action.

Suddenly, the power to the research institute was cut off.

Xiaoyou and Xiaoyao immediately had their Pokémon unleash "Flash" to provide illumination, and both the research institute and the remains of Deoxys remained unharmed.

In less than half a minute, the independent power source restored power to the research institute.

Just then, a confident female voice came from the rooftop.

"Why be so solemn under such a bright and beautiful moonlight?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyou immediately looked up at the skylight above her head.

A figure dressed in a formal suit descended from above, accompanied by a smug fox thief.

It's not some fiery fox, it's the real fox thief.

"With us here, we won't let your plan succeed, Blaziken..."

After confirming that the stone was still there, Xiaoyao sent out her Pokémon to fight.

"It's just unnecessary worry. Let's use our imagination. How can I steal the treasure from three champion-level trainers?"

The phantom thief smiled mysteriously and snapped his fingers calmly.

Meanwhile, the fox thief swapped his own items with Blaziken's by "switching items".

A smoke grenade fell to the ground, immediately releasing a large amount of smoke and dust mixed with various powders.

The two, who were already seasoned veterans, instinctively held their breath as Blaziken cleared away the thick fog.

"what……"

Just as the phantom thief was about to make a sarcastic remark, the prop that the fox thief had "switched" exploded as well, releasing dust mixed with a large amount of "mushroom spores".

Both sides were carrying the same type of prop—Xiao You and Xiao Yao originally planned to use it to trick the Fire Fox.

Unfortunately, if it can't even handle a mere phantom thief, it will be even less effective against the Fire Fox.

Realizing the smoke bomb had exploded, the phantom thief reacted swiftly, immediately dispatching the Tanabata to eliminate it.

"It's not just the items that were 'switched,' you know!" she said with a smug grin. "Look what this is!"

After saying that, the phantom thief took out a stone from under his cloak; it was the core of Deoxys.

Upon seeing this, Daigo frowned and subconsciously looked in the direction of Metagross, but the stone was clearly still inside.

not right...

"Let me show you the true power of this stone!"

Before he finished speaking, the stone in the thief's hand changed, transforming into a strange sprite that attacked the crowd below.
