An elf, a genius scientist who traveled from the world of One Piece.

Chapter 23 You're absolutely going to be wiped out, what's the point of joining?

"...Heh~ I never expected the Rockets' famous rising star to see through our plan."

After a brief moment of surprise, Alina quickly regained her composure and returned to her usual coquettish tone.

"To defeat so many of my men so stealthily... you must have used that magnetic remote control, right?"

The alliance has already informed the public about the magnetic remote control through the news.

After all, this thing is too dangerous.

Ordinary people are often at a disadvantage when facing the Rockets.

If you can't even use Pokémon, then you'll be completely at their mercy.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the Elf League decided to expose the matter.

"It's such a waste for a genius scientist like Joker's brother to stay in a violent organization like Team Rocket. Why not come to our 'Shadow'?"

Alina smiled and said:

"This is paradise for us researchers!"

Even with a mask on, everyone present could still sense the intense disdain emanating from Su Sheng's slightly upturned lips.

This is not surprising.

After all, back in the day when Ash debuted, the organization "Shadow" was completely unknown.

There's only one reason—by the time Ash came out on his adventure, the organization had already been wiped out.

Either the league did it, or the Rockets destroyed it.

If that's the case, why should I join an organization that's destined to be destroyed?

"Miss Alina, since we're all doing scientific research, let's not play those little tricks."

Su Sheng smiled faintly and said:

"Do you think I can't see it?"

Su Sheng raised his hand and pointed to Alina's feet.

Yishu, Xiaoxi, and Hutao looked up, their expressions suddenly changing drastically.

Alina had somehow managed to drop the three Poké Balls on the ground.

It slowly rolled behind her.

It was obvious that Alina had secretly thrown the ball away, trying to escape the effective range of the magnetic remote control.

"Don't even think about it!"

Xiaoxi immediately wanted to rush up and snatch the Poké Ball.

But Su Sheng raised his hand to stop Xiao Qian.

Under Xiaoqian's puzzled gaze, Su Sheng spoke:

"The Alliance's army is probably already gathered at the station entrance, right? If they break in, it won't be easy for either of us to escape."

"How about we each take a step back? Let's call a truce here and save the fighting for next time."

Alina's face remained smiling, but her tone had become somewhat dangerous: "Oh~ little brother, you think you can just let it go after kidnapping so many of my men?"

"Do you really care that much about those useless underlings? And is Miss Alina assuming I'm the only one here? Aren't you afraid I'll just use a Cloud Piercer to summon the other Team Rocket members and the League to surround and annihilate your Shadow faction?"

Su Sheng's question made Alina hesitate.

According to information provided by the Alliance, Alina is an S-class wanted criminal.

Their strength is at least close to that of the Four Heavenly Kings.

It wouldn't be difficult for her Pokémon to break a Poké Ball from the inside.

Unless absolutely necessary, it's best to avoid fighting her.

"...Heh, that's interesting. I look forward to seeing you again, little Joker."

After a brief moment of contemplation, Alina smiled, turned around, picked up a few Poké Balls from the ground, and quickly disappeared at the end of the station corridor.

"Please wait here for a moment. The alliance reinforcements should arrive in less than five minutes..."

Su Sheng said to Xiao Qian and Hu Tao.

However, he hadn't yet uttered the last word, "come."

Then a tree fell to the ground with a "thud".

His face was turning purple, and he was still blowing bubbles.

Even without examination, it's obvious at a glance that he's been poisoned.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot about you."

Seeing this, Su Sheng picked up a tree and carried it on his shoulder.

"There's no other way but to see you off on your final journey."

……

……

Outside the station.

"Get out of my way! Xiaoqian is still inside!"

With Tauros by his side, Hawad, the current Gym Leader of Goldenrod, was so anxious that his face turned red.

The "granddaughter" he was referring to was none other than Akane, the red-haired girl with pigtails.

"Master Howard, please calm down, the other side has hostages."

Officer Jenny, who was standing nearby with her Growlithe, quickly tried to stop them.

"How can I not be anxious? Xiaoqian is only six years old!"

Hawad was anxious, and Naps, who was leading the Shadow Combat Force on the other side, was in no better shape.

Why hasn't my sister finished signaling yet?

This is way too late than planned!

"Huh? What's that sound?"

Suddenly, Naps heard a noise behind him.

The other Shadow members also heard the sound and instinctively turned their heads to look.

Then they saw a massive army of Pokémon and humans surging toward them like a tidal wave.

"What's going on!?"

Naps was so startled he almost fell to the ground.

"Go for it, everyone!"

Although a row of Shadow Team members stood at the exit, the tourists, who had just survived the ordeal, were in high spirits, and had so many people around them to bolster their courage.

Upon seeing the group of criminals dressed in white, they all became incredibly excited, charging forward with their Pokémon, fists clenched.

"Stop them!"

Naps shouted.

But the Hawads and Officers behind the scenes also realized what was happening and immediately took action.

"Help me quickly!"

For a time, Naps's Shadow was led by thousands of passengers and their Pokémon, and followed by Gym Leader Hawad and Officer Jenny's team.

Suddenly I was surrounded by dumplings.

……

……

Less than ten minutes.

The Shadow Combat Force led by Naps was wiped out.

Most of the tourists gathered around Joey and Chansey for inspection.

A small number of bolder individuals watched the spectacle from the sidelines.

"What exactly happened? How did the hostages manage to escape on their own?"

Chief Officer Jenny of Manjin City was somewhat bewildered by this sudden and overwhelming wealth.

While handcuffing the bound Shadow Team members, he couldn't help but ask the onlookers what was going on.

"It's the Joker! The Joker saved us!"

"Yes, yes, he appeared suddenly and immediately rendered those bad guys' Poké Balls unusable."

"Should we try to get the league to recruit him?"

The passengers around them, who had just escaped death, started discussing it amongst themselves.

The Officer Jenny members looked at each other in bewilderment.

Jo...Joker?

Could it be the Joker?

"Xiaoqian...where is Xiaoqian!?"

Hawad grabbed Naps by the collar and yelled.

"I...I don't know...it's not my responsibility inside the station..."

Naps, struggling to breathe, said with difficulty.

Suddenly, Naps seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, lifted into the air, and quickly flew to the roof of the station building.

Everyone looked up in astonishment.

I found Alina and a Gardevoir standing there.

It's a Psychic-type special move: Telekinesis!

"Hey, sis, what's going on inside?"

"I'm still shaken," said Naps, who had been put down by Gardevoir.

"Kids shouldn't meddle in adult matters!"

Alina gave her brat a good slap.

Naps was both angry and dared not speak out.

"Let's go."

As she spoke, Alina prepared to leave with her bratty little brother.

"stop!"

Officers were shocked; the chief was just about to order a manhunt.

Suddenly, Hawad, the Gym Leader of Goldenrod, shouted:

"Xiaoqian!"

Before they could even turn around, they heard gasps and even cheers from the surrounding crowd:

"Joker!"
