Pokémon: Legendary Pokémon Simulator, Starting with Arceus

Outside the scorched tower, the atmosphere was extremely tense, with Liu Bo, Sakaki, Ho-Oh, and Lugia forming a triangle.

All three parties are now on guard against each other.

Uncle Liu: Well, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, it turns out you've already turned the Phoenix King and Layue against you, haven't you?

He quietly gripped the Delibird Poké Ball with his left hand, staring intently at the other.

These two old men are usually unresponsive, and they've only helped out once in a long time. Their sudden appearance here must be an unexpected surprise.

The base might have already fallen!

The only person I could possibly be is this guy in front of me! Damn it, so this is what I wasted my time on!

Cunning businessman!

Sakaki: Why did these two suddenly come? Did the other party call them? Even he didn't notice the way. This old man is indeed not simple.

But now I'm more worried about whether Apollo and his crew have arrived yet, and whether they've dealt with the later arrivals or simply arrived before we even encountered them...

Looking at the two Pokémon without any injuries, Giovanni was certain that they had encountered each other before... otherwise, if his three main Pokémon were completely unharmed, what would be the point of playing with them?

Why are these two always looking at Uncle Liu with hostility? They seem to be looking at him more out of curiosity.

Well, it's fine here. The longer Apollo stays here, the weaker the defenses become, and the greater his chances of success!

Ho-Oh, Lugia's telepathic secret channel.

Lugia: What's going on? Why aren't you doing anything?

Phoenix King: I don't know. This is how it is when I come here. I feel like that man doesn't recognize me. He's very wary.

Lugia: I remember you mentioned the situation. Did the messenger not finish explaining the situation and just give you a vague answer?

Phoenix King: That's possible. Let's take action here, firstly to get revenge, and secondly to rescue the Self-Defense Forces. We'll leave that guy alone.

Lugia: Okay, let's do it!

Liu Bo and Giovanni remained locked in a standoff, while Lugia and Ho-Oh remained motionless, unleashing a double air blade that hurtled towards Liu Bo amidst the raging wind!

Neijiang? Acting? Either way, this is a great opportunity!

Giovanni's thoughts raced, and he threw a Poké Ball: "Beedrill, Toxic!"

"Buzz!"

The giant bee vanished in an instant, then reappeared behind Liu Bo in the blink of an eye, its two needles glowing purple as it hurtled straight toward Liu Bo's thigh.

"Double blizzard!"

"Roar!!!"

When Ho-Oh and Lugia attacked, Luffy reacted immediately, and Delibird and Slug appeared at the same time. Tail then used the full-power Blizzard move.

As for the giant bee behind him, Uncle Liu couldn't dodge it, so he could only adjust his body and send his leg forward.

A torrent of violent energy poured out, instantly covering the surrounding area with snow, with Ho-Oh and Lugia in the air being the primary targets.

"!!!"

A red light appeared, and Nido cleared a path through the snow. Sakaki looked at the snow layer that was taller than a person next to him with a serious expression.

The fact that it could instantly change the surrounding environment to such an extreme state is truly remarkable. I wonder if Beedrill succeeded.

"Buzz~" Beedrill flew out of the snow, its wings still covered in ice.

With a disappointed look on his face, Sakaki roughly understood the situation.

The thigh has no solid form; is it made of ice or a wheelchair?

"Chirp~"

A clear, resounding chime rang out, and a red energy ball emerged from the snow, exploding in the sky and bringing visibly intense sunlight.

Ho-Oh and Lugia emerged from under the snow. The move Ho-Oh used earlier was Sunny Day. Now that Pluton is nowhere to be found, it must have escaped.

Now it was just them and Sakaki in front of them, staring at each other in silence.

"Meow!!"

A figure appeared, and Cat Boss blocked Sakaki's path. Just as he stopped, two more figures appeared.

Nidoking and Mega Tyrannosaurus Rex blocked their way; Giovanni's main force had arrived.

At this moment, Sakaki breathed a sigh of relief. Their arrival meant that the matter on that side was resolved and that Gin was safe.

"Let's go." Sakaki turned and left.

Ho-Oh and Lugia were taken aback by its clean and efficient appearance, but it immediately flew towards the scorched tower, with Ho-Oh unleashing a divine fire.

A large hole appeared at the bottom, and three figures jumped out from it. The three Holy Beasts of the Self-Defense Force returned to their loyal master's side.

"The matter is temporarily resolved. Let's go back to our usual spot."

Ho-Oh and Lugia took flight, and the three legendary beasts exchanged a glance and followed.

Meanwhile, at the city headquarters, Sakaki finally met his son.

"It's good that you're back. Take good rest during this time, and don't object to the arrangements that follow."

Relieved to see that everything was alright, Sakaki spoke with his usual seriousness.

Seeing that Sakaki was about to leave, Gin's lips moved slightly, and she finally said, "Um... Father, a few friends would like to join..."

Giovanni remained unchanged even after his child disappeared, after more than a month of intense work, and in the presence of Liu Bo, Ho-Oh, and Lugia.

At that moment, his body trembled slightly. Without turning his head, he said, "That's your problem. Talk to Apollo yourself."

Xiao Yin stared intently at the retreating figure.

Athena had just told him everything, and he suddenly realized that his father seemed different from the one he remembered, and that he didn't seem to lack senses as he had thought.

"If you promise not to do anything bad, I'll agree to let you look into it!!"

Sakaki was now only a silhouette; he didn't know if the other person had heard him.

In the office, Sakaki sat down with a deep thought in his eyes, making it difficult for Masato, who wanted to give a report, to disturb him. He could only wait by the side.

"Seriously? Do you think we can clear our name?"

Real Bird: Huh?

Good heavens! Why would Boss Sakaki ask that?! His serious expression makes it seem like he really means it!

"This... I'm not sure how to answer... Maybe..." Masahiro stammered, unsure how to respond.

"Call Dr. Satoshi Ishida, I need to have a talk."

The call connected quickly, and Sakaki's first words were, "Dr. Ishida, how do you think the Rockets should clear their name?"

Why is Mr. Sakaki asking me this? I'm just a researcher.

On the other side, Xiong Meng immediately realized that he had been exposed, that his identity as someone from another world had been revealed, but he still laughed it off and replied.

...

"I don't know, I just wanted to ask." Could he say it was a momentary impulse, a sudden thought that led him to make the call?

Sakaki has regained consciousness, but it's too late to hang up now that the call is connected, so we'll just have to talk for a bit and see what happens.

What else could Xiong Meng do but try to deceive them?

"I do have my own opinion, but it might not be good. If Mr. Sakaki doesn't mind, I'll share it."

"explain."

"The Rockets did real things before, and Mr. Giovanni knows better than anyone else exactly what they did. I feel we can't just forget or pretend we don't know."

"To truly understand the situation from beginning to end, we must face it squarely. Even if we cannot make amends at the time, equal compensation must be provided. This is how we deal with what came before."

"But it certainly won't be eliminated all at once. If we do more good deeds and more good things for the majority of ordinary people, and gain the approval of the majority, things will be much better then."

"...This is what I think."

After Xiong Meng finished speaking, he broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't know if he could fool the other party. Did they even know his identity? Give him some information!

"I see. First, we should face the situation squarely and make our stance clear. Then, we should persist in gaining recognition. When we have put in enough effort, people will naturally support us."

"Perfect idea!"

"Wait! Something's not right...:"
