Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 31 If you're so capable, then really blow it up!

"The Santo Anu is now under the control of our Rocket Team and is currently in uninhabited waters. It will take at least two hours to reach the nearest continent."

Apollo continued to reassure the passengers with his calm voice.

He knew that some persistent passengers would try to seek help, but that was alright.

To ensure the success of the operation, the entire ship was equipped with communication jamming devices, making it impossible for phone calls and text messages to be transmitted.

Moreover, even if there were a special positioning device that could transmit some location information, the current course of the Saint-Ténée is completely random, and it would definitely take time to find them on the vast ocean.

Upon hearing Apollo's words, some of the more frail women began to sob, and despair spread.

Aren't they now easy prey for the Rockets?

"So I think everyone understands now. Next, please hand over your handheld sprites and wait for the Saint-Tiannu to dock."

Apollo also saw this scene through the surveillance camera, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips.

"Are you kidding me!"

"If there were no elves, wouldn't you be able to do whatever you want to us?"

"It was just a scam after all, wasn't it?"

"If we hand over the elves to you, we will have no way to protect ourselves."

But clearly, the passengers weren't stupid; the Pokémon were their last source of courage in defying Team Rocket.

Without Pokémon, they would truly be lambs to the slaughter, completely at the mercy of Team Rocket.

"Please be quiet, everyone~" Apollo seemed completely unsurprised, his tone remaining calm and unhurried.

"Please don't get agitated. I understand how you all feel, and I completely sympathize. But please take a look at this."

Apollo thoughtfully calmed the passengers, gesturing with a faint smile to look ahead.

A large screen descended from above and then lit up, displaying an image in front of everyone.

"hiss……"

Gasps of shock rose and fell, and many people broke out in a cold sweat.

Even Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia's pupils shrank suddenly, and Eileen tightly gripped Gu Xin's hand.

Gusin gently patted Eileen's arm. He could feel her body trembling slightly; she was clearly frightened.

This is understandable, as the location of this image should be within the cabin of the Saint-Téné.

But the cabin was completely filled with bouncy balls and lightning bolts!

Who doesn't know these two Pokémon? They're notorious for their self-destruction maniacs, always ready to explode at the drop of a hat. And right now, this cabin is full of dormant Voltorb and Electrode, piled up in countless numbers.

If any of these things were to self-destruct, it would definitely trigger a chain reaction!

"How...how dare they do this?!"

Xiaoxia's eyes widened in disbelief mixed with terror, and her voice even became shrill from the shock.

"The Rockets' madness truly lives up to its reputation."

Gushin clicked his tongue, thinking, "As expected of Team Rocket, the largest evil organization that dominates the Kanto region."

This is absolutely insane.

"This..." Ash was stunned!

"They must have used special drugs to put these lightning ball bombs into a deep sleep or coma, and they dared not wake them up."

Xiao Gang's mouth was dry, but he tried his best to calm himself down and analyze the situation, unaware that his voice was trembling.

This is no joke!

If the lightning orbs and trolls in this cabin were to self-destruct, the entire massive Saint-Téné would be blown to smithereens, and all the people on board would be reduced to ashes scattered across the sky.

Even the Rockets wouldn't be this crazy!

It's unnecessary, really unnecessary!

"But nobody dares to gamble; it's a gamble with their lives." Gusin nodded in agreement, but Apollo's tactics were indeed very effective.

Because those passengers were already under immense psychological pressure after witnessing this scene, they simply couldn't bring themselves to gamble against the Rockets.

What if something unexpected happens?

Life is only once; once it's gone, everything is gone.

And at this moment, they finally understood why Team Rocket was an evil organization.

Crimson remained silent, his eyes flickering as he gazed at the big screen, a solemn look in them.

Although he is strong, he also has his limits. If these mischievous lightning balls were to explode in a chain reaction, the scene would be absolutely terrifying!

"I think everyone should have calmed down by now. If you don't cooperate, well..."

Apollo's laughter was deep and grating.

"But everyone can rest assured that as long as you cooperate, we will definitely get you back safely."

In the captain's cabin, Apollo wore a sarcastic and cruel smile. Unlike the passengers in the hall, he was in a very pleasant mood.

When you offer despair and then hope, the defenses in a person's heart become incredibly fragile.

This time, no passengers in the lobby spoke up.

"Alright, let's begin."

As Apollo finished speaking, Team Rocket members in the hall each took a bag and began to step forward, ready to confiscate the passengers' Poké Balls.

Seeing that everything in the hall was proceeding smoothly according to plan, Apollo nodded in satisfaction.

"Lord Apollo, the target has been found."

A Rockets staff member spoke to Apollo.

"Very good. I hope Lance and that guy can succeed. This plan must succeed; failure is not an option."

Apollo nodded. He certainly wasn't interested in the elves of the passengers. Ordinary elves weren't worth Apollo's personal attention; they were just a smokescreen.

To ensure everything went smoothly, not only did he and another of the four generals, Lance, personally attend, but they also invited one of the three officers to come.

It's important to know that the three executives are the boss's secret weapons, and they can't be used unless absolutely necessary. If they are exposed, it will be a huge loss for Team Rocket.

"Let Lance and his men finish this quickly."

Apollo stood up and spoke to his subordinate, saying that Lance and the other member of the three executives had important tasks, but he also had another important matter to attend to.

"yes!"

The Rockets subordinate responded and then immediately left the captain's cabin.

"Huh? What's going on?"

But just then, Apollo was stunned to see the chaotic scene in the hall through the monitor.

Because right now, the passengers are fighting with Team Rocket members in the lobby?

No, wasn't the situation already under control? He only exchanged a couple of words with his subordinates, how did it turn out like this?

Were those passengers really not afraid of death? They actually dared to resist?

Apollo looked grim; even a lightning ball and a Volt couldn't scare these people.

But Apollo couldn't actually wake up those mischievous bullets. Although the mission was important, it wasn't enough for them to risk their lives.

Hey!

Apollo cursed under his breath, then quickly led his Blackie out of the captain's cabin and headed in a certain direction.

He had more important things to deal with and didn't have time to deal with those damned passengers. Once he finished his own mission, he would let those passengers experience what it meant to be the authority of a high-ranking Team Rocket officer!

Meanwhile, in the hall...

"Tsk tsk~ As expected of Ash."

Guxin glanced at Ash, who was looking excited. Ash was currently directing Pikachu to battle a Muk.

Well, Apollo's idea was sound, but he overlooked one particular guy.

This person is completely unconcerned about any threats, and his strong sense of justice and passionate enthusiasm are extremely infectious.

The speech immediately woke the passengers up and they began to resist. As for the threat of the volleyballs? Wasn't that just a threat?

If you're so capable, then really blow it up!
