"As expected of Teacher Yu! She's amazing!!!"

An older Rockets officer blurted out the answer without thinking.

The Pokémon behind Qingyu might be unknown to other newcomers, but as a "veteran of two eras" and one of the founding members who had followed Giovanni's mother since the very beginning of Team Rocket, he certainly recognized it.

Mew, the legendary mythical Pokémon, was also the initial goal of Team Rocket!

Unexpectedly, the very entity that the Rockets had been searching for so desperately has now appeared right in front of them in such a blatant manner.

Moreover, as an opponent...

Legend has it that Mew possesses the genes of all Pokémon, so theoretically it could learn all Pokémon moves, and now it seems that this conjecture is true.

With a simple wave of his hand, he sealed all their gas bombs, preventing them from using the large explosion again...

Although this tactic, which Lambda called the "Chain Bombing" by the cadre, was indeed derived from Teacher Yu's original teaching videos, it has also been localized and modified.

While the explosive power of a gas bomb isn't that great, the advantage is that the leaked gas can significantly increase the kill radius.

At the same time, the chemical change properties of some gas bombs can completely negate the interference of moisture properties on explosive attacks.

Theoretically speaking, this should be an unsolvable tactic.

As a result, Teacher Yu reacted instantly and was able to cooperate perfectly with Dream.

Horror!
...Wait a minute?

After a moment of shock, the Rockets' veteran James Harden finally came to his senses—

Now that we can't use the gas bombs anymore, does that mean we're doomed?
A sense of despair immediately enveloped the hearts of all the Team Rocket minions.

After a brief moment of shock, A-du quickly made his next judgment:
"Go all out and wipe out these Team Rocket minions!"

Leaving aside how Qingyu managed to summon Mewtwo, the most important thing right now is to finish dealing with Team Rocket.

Lance quickly led his team and routed the Team Rocket minions, who had lost their Pokémon.

Meanwhile, Sabrina, who had also come to Tokiwa City with Aoba and Wataru, remained expressionless, her eyes fixed on the pink kitten in the air that was grinning mischievously.

So cute...

I never expected that Teacher Yu would have such an adorable Pokémon, and it looks like it's a Psychic type?
Sealing is a relatively common and practical technique for superpowers, and the principle behind it is not complicated.

If you are familiar with the energy of the opponent's move, you can use your powerful superpowers to temporarily seal that move.

It sounds like a very powerful move. As long as you learn enough moves, you will definitely be able to interrupt your opponent's moves and thus become invincible.

However, it has a significant drawback—

If your strength isn't enough to consistently suppress your opponent, this move will be difficult to execute successfully.

Due to numerous restrictions, only a small number of Pokémon with extremely powerful psychic abilities are more inclined to use this move.

Of course, Sabrina herself also knows this move.

Her method of use is also very simple: she can use her superpowers to send bricks flying, and even use her superpowers to control opponents and make them unable to move.

When it comes to superpowers, there are probably not many Pokémon in the world stronger than her...

However, sealing all those Koffing attacks at once is clearly not something an ordinary Pokémon could do.

As expected of Teacher Yu, the Pokémon he has are indeed very powerful.

Naz couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Mwah~"

After easily defusing the crisis, Dream still had a smiling expression and sat directly on Qingyu's shoulder.

"..."

Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief and affectionately patted Meng Huan's head.

"Thanks to you, Dream."

As expected, Mew's genes are as powerful as recorded in the Pokédex. Even the Big Bang, which it shouldn't be able to learn in the game, can be easily sealed in actual combat.

If it gets serious, aside from a few legendary Pokémon, other Pokémon might not even be able to use their moves when they encounter it...

However, Dream's personality is too playful. She seems to prefer teasing her opponents to one-sided crushing them, so she often uses her transformation ability to fight a "fair" duel.

It refers to transforming into various Pokémon that counter the opponent, and even being able to summon legendary Pokémon that you have seen before, and use their special moves.

No wonder Team Rocket is always thinking about Mew; this Pokémon is incredibly unpredictable in actual battles!
But what if the dream is your teammate?

How can there be such a reliable Pokémon? It's definitely the perfect partner for me!

Mew can learn almost all Pokémon moves, and Blue Feather happens to know a little about these moves as well, making him exceptionally adept at commanding them.

We're both really awesome!
Although Qingyu knew that he only received the "Mew Trial Card" to rescue Mewtwo, and that Mew would probably revert to his street-smart nature afterward, however...

Who cares, let's have fun first!
"Mwah~"

Dreamy stretched out her little hand and gave Qingyu a high five in perfect unison.

We're the best team!
……

With the support of the duo of Qingyu and Meng, plus Sabrina's equally powerful psychic abilities, the small fry blocking their way posed no real threat and were easily pushed through.

Whether it's sealing, hypnosis, or even moves like the Song of the End, which are incredibly powerful in team battles, Dream can quickly understand and use them, making them especially useful when dealing with weaker enemies.

Soon, Wataru was the first to storm into the Tokiwa Dojo.

On the empty battlefield, there was only a middle-aged man in a suit with his back to them, calm and composed with his hands behind his back.

The moment A-Du saw the man, he immediately spoke coldly.

“Sakaki, I need an explanation.”

Why is Team Rocket near the Viridian Gym?

Sakaki didn't reply, but only chuckled and spoke in a mocking tone:
"So even the famous Dragon Messenger, Kanto Tenno, has things he doesn't know."

He seemed to be planning to say something more, but his expression froze for a moment when he saw the two figures that followed closely behind.

The appearance of Aoba and Sabrina was indeed something even Sakaki hadn't expected.

One is a gym leader and popular streamer who lives far away in Padiya and has absolutely no connection to them;
The other one was a newcomer who had been recruited into Team Rocket along with other gym leaders and was highly regarded by him...

Sabrina's appearance also made Giovanni immediately realize something—

No wonder A-Du only discovered his true identity at this point; it turns out that all those dojo leaders were traitors.

It's likely that Team Rocket bases in other towns have already suffered devastating damage by now...

Perhaps after today, Team Rocket, the underground emperors who were once at their peak in the Kanto region and seemed to have the strength to directly challenge the regional league, will become a thing of the past?
Sakaki, who has always adhered to the principle of trusting those he employs and winning people over with his personal charisma, has finally experienced what it feels like to be betrayed.

However, he quickly regained his composure and looked at Qingyu with a calm smile.

If the Rockets are gone, they're gone.

Sakaki prided himself on not being a sore loser, and when he made various overstepping decisions that the league could not tolerate, he had already prepared for the worst.

But Qingyu's appearance was indeed beyond his expectations.

"I really didn't expect that my first meeting with 'Teacher Yu' would be in such an unpleasant way."

Upon hearing this, not only Sakaki, but also Wataru and Sabrina's gazes were drawn to Aoba.

Aoba was also surprised that Sakaki seemed to actually know her.
As for A-du, he nodded to himself.

No wonder the Rockets used two different tactics, Big Bang and Shrunk Team; it was just as I expected.

There must be a treacherous person helping them behind the scenes!

However, Teacher Yu's original intention was definitely good; he was just exploited by a villainous organization like Team Rocket.

That's terrible, Rockets!
"Mwah!"

Upon hearing Sakaki's voice, Mewtwo, who was behind Aoba, quickly stepped forward, her eyes filled with obvious hostility as she looked at Sakaki.

This guy is the one who made Mewtwo look so pitiful!

For some reason, Qingyu seemed to vaguely sense what Meng Huan was thinking.

"Oh? I see..."

Upon noticing the appearance of the dream, Giovanni quickly revealed a playful smile.

Judging from the relationship between Dream and Blue Feather, he seemed to understand why Blue Feather would appear in the Kanto region, thousands of miles away.

Just as I had heard, this young curator of Padia seemed to have had contact with more than one legendary being.

but……

"Now that we've come to the Viridian Gym, I suppose I can consider you as challengers as well."

Even when facing the Elite Four member, two gym leaders, and even a legendary figure like Mew, Giovanni remained unfazed.

"Since you're the challenger, please let me ramble on for a bit."

"..."

As fellow gym leaders, Qingyu and Sabrina exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other.

This is a sign of my occupational hazard.

As a dojo master, one always has to say a few words before a battle to show off one's prestige.

As a tacit understanding between colleagues, Qingyu and Nazi silently waited for him to speak again.

Of course, there is another reason as well—

So far, Qingyu has not seen Mewtwo.

So even though he knew that Giovanni was stalling for time, he could only listen to what Giovanni was up to for the time being.

After all, his main goal on this trip was to help Mewtwo rescue Mewtwo.

As for Giovanni... to be honest, Aoba doesn't really know what Giovanni in this timeline is obsessed with.

Is he a pure villain who only wants to make money and become stronger, like in the game and anime, or is he a ruthless but also tender-hearted true man, like in the manga special?

I know far too little about the situation in Kanto.

So, let's hear what Sakamoto is really up to.

And A-du also tacitly agreed to this.

Although there's no need to talk about martial ethics when dealing with these evil spirits, let's still give this former Tokiwa Dojo master some final dignity.

Sakaki was not surprised by their attitude and quickly broke into a hearty smile.

"Since you were able to find your way here, it means you must already know the truth about Team Rocket, right?"

"So, I'll just admit it openly."

"That's right, I am the boss of the Rockets."

Sakaki's words were like a thunderclap, startling A-Wu, who had been standing quietly with her arms crossed and looking impatient, before she quickly regained her composure.

However, his heart was not as calm as it appeared.

What the heck...?
So Giovanni was the boss of Team Rocket?

He suddenly recalled the painful memory of facing the Rockets' leader head-on when he was young and being swept aside by him. The man's sinister back gradually overlapped with the upright-looking Sakaki in front of him, dressed in a suit.

I see……

Sakaki, you kept this a secret for so long!

Your title is "Sakaki of the Earth," but is it that your true form is hidden in the shadows underground?
A-Du clenched his arms tightly, a desire for revenge welling up inside him.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

If Giovanni already possessed such terrifying strength more than a decade ago, what level has his fighting power reached now?
At least one thing is certain: the title of "Gym Leader" is definitely beneath him. Even I, currently the strongest of the Elite Four on paper, might not be able to defeat him.

"While saying this might sound arrogant, however..."

Sakaki spoke again soon after.

"I have never felt that anyone in Guandu would be a threat to me."

"Whether it's Lance or Sabrina, apart from Professor Oak, who has been retired for many years and might need to be wary, no one else could possibly be my match."

"This is also the source of my confidence in enabling the Rockets to grow and thrive."

"But I really didn't expect to meet such an interesting young man at this time."

After finishing speaking, Sakaki maintained his composure and smiled at Aoba.

"To be honest, it's not just these troublesome police officers; the Rockets have also received a lot of care from Coach Yu."

"So, in return..."

"This time, let me teach Teacher Yu the fighting style of the Kanto people, how about it?"

As he spoke, the ground beneath Qingyu's feet suddenly began to tremble violently.

Qingyu almost instinctively stepped back, barely dodging the attack when a super armored rhinoceros emerged from the ground, its sharp horns narrowly missing him.

As for A-du and Na-zi, they also suffered attacks from underground.

However, unlike Qingyu, who was not familiar with wild battles, the two of them seemed to have anticipated what was about to happen. While easily dodging the attack, they also took out Poké Balls and summoned their Pokémon.

"..."

Qingyu was completely numb.

Is this how the Kanto people fight?

Why does he seem even more sinister than me?

but……

"You started it!"

Qingyu immediately reached out and took out three Poké Balls.

Although I'm not very familiar with wild battles, since there are no rules and even the number of Pokémon is not limited...

"Go, Sylveon, Lucario, and Mimecend!"

With Qingyu's three main Pokémon making their appearance one after another, plus Mew as a temporary companion, the four Pokémon are now formidable.

When it comes to stats and mechanics, my Pokémon team is definitely not going to lose!
