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

Chapter 249 Do you have the ability to compete with my Rockets?

The dragon army of Yulongdu and the ground-type army of Sakaki engaged in a team battle.

However, anyone who understands the difference in strength between the two knows that the outcome is already decided.

"What just happened?"

Sister Zhulan in front of the phone was completely bewildered, unable to understand why Dark Mewtwo, which had just been knocked away by Dark Kyurem, suddenly reappeared behind the other side.

Instant teleportation?

Impossible. How could someone who was hit by that Freeze Volt attack still be able to stand up?

Was it an illusion?

That doesn't make sense either. Billions of eyes saw it, and the attack definitely hit its target.

If Cynthia, a champion-level trainer, is like this, then Sonia and Lurina are even more so.

Even Pear Blossom, who had followed Su Sheng the longest, had almost the same expression.

Su Sheng explained, "The Dark Mewtwo that was blasted away was a Stand."

"substitute?"

The women frowned even more deeply.

The move "Substitute" is something almost every Pokémon can learn. It involves consuming some of your own stamina to create a human shield that looks exactly like you.

Although it's a powerful skill in the game, it can't be used for attacking or for moving.

Therefore, virtually no trainer in the real world uses this technique.

Anyway, Su Shengqian had never seen anyone use this move when he watched anime in his previous life.

Su Sheng continued, "When White Kyurem unleashed its Cross Flames, turning the battlefield into a sea of ​​fire, Dark Mewtwo used the flames as cover to hide in the inferno and sacrificed a lot of energy to create a Stand to fight Kyurem. It was all to aim for Lance and Kyurem when they thought they had won, and then deliver a fatal blow to them."

"That's not right, Asheng,"

Pear Blossom frowned, puzzled, and asked, "If what you're saying is true, then the Mewtwo that was finally knocked away by Dark Kyurem was a Stand, but it was clearly fighting alongside the opponent before that. Stands don't have that ability, right?"

The substitution technique looks a bit like the shadow clone technique from the Naruto anime.

However, it has a major weakness: it lacks the ability to act independently and is incapable of fighting.

While they have some resilience, if given the choice, 99% of trainers would probably prefer their Stand to be mobile rather than resilient, even if it's like the Shadow Clones in Naruto, easily broken upon contact.

"Aren't Psychic Pokémon all good at using Psychic powers?"

Su Sheng's rhetorical question caused everyone's expressions to change once again.

As a fellow psychic trainer, Kazuki was the first to react, exclaiming incredulously, "You mean, Mewtwo used psychic powers to control its Stand and fight Kyurem!?"

This kind of operation is not hard to understand. After all, a few years ago, before the trio grew up, when they fought against those powerful enemies in team battles, Yishu often used his Psychic-type Pokémon to support Susheng and Lihua.

One of the most frequently used tactics is to use telekinesis to grab teammates and help them move in the air.

Even now, having grown to the Champion level, Ichiki still can't use his Pokémon's psychic powers to control a Substitute in battle, especially against a top-tier Legendary opponent!

MEGA Dark Mewtwo can do this.

However, in a head-on battle, such trivial tricks would be completely ineffective against Kyurem, the Dragon of the Way.

Therefore, Giovanni chose to use a surprise tactic, striking only when Kyurem mistakenly believed he had already won and completely lowered his guard.

"It backfired."

Watching the Dragon Legion being wiped out by Sakaki's Earth Legion in the live stream, Sister Zhulan's expression was complicated.

In her view, Damaranchi's decision to livestream the expedition in order to demonstrate the power of the Alliance to the world was a risky move.

Although the alliance has suffered consecutive defeats in recent years, it urgently needs to demonstrate its strength to the public in order to restore its reputation.

But have you ever thought about what would happen if you lost?

However, the idea that cabbage sauce has such a mindset is a bit of hindsight.

After all, it's a lineup like that of Dragon Tamer + Kyurem of the Path + Leon + Mugentai.

Who would have thought we'd lose?

If anyone's to blame, it's that Yu Longdu guy who insisted on a one-on-one fight.

"Let's go, we need to go and save the day."

Su Sheng greeted everyone.

……

……

"Mr. Watari!"

At the scene in Higaki City, many of the Alliance's elite forces, led by Dan Te, have already returned.

Now Giovanni has lost his trump card, Dark Mewtwo, while Leon's Eternatus is still basically at its peak.

The outcome seemed to be decided.

However, the league dared not make any rash moves.

Because Beedrill's stinger was pressed against Lance's neck.

On Giovanni's side, Golem and Nidoran, two of his main forces, have lost their ability to fight.

Meanwhile, on the Yulongdu side, all the dragons were lying on the ground, unable to get up!

Countless people around the world were so shocked by this scene that their jaws nearly dropped to the floor.

Wow, the situation changed way too fast!

"I heard you've been looking for me all this time, are you done yet? Huh?"

"Looks like you really want to compete with me. Do you have the ability to compete with my Rockets?"

With his back to Dante and the others, Giovanni seemed to ignore the arrival of the Alliance members, and mocked them:

"Your Dragon Slayer Sword is useless now? Huh?"

Giovanni scanned Lance from head to toe, noticing that there was still a Poké Ball left on Lance's belt. He snatched it away and placed it on Lance's back.

"Didn't you say you didn't bring a dragon? Here, I'll give you one."

Yu Longdu's eyes seemed to be spitting out flames.

Through the semi-transparent dome, Yulongdu could clearly see the Hakuron inside, its eyes filled with the same resentment as his own.

This Dragonair is none other than the Dragonite that Giovanni turned back into Dratini by a strange drug during the battle at Indigo Plateau three years ago.

After three years, I trained him back to Hakron, however...

"Take it!"

Sakaki suddenly shouted, startling Kojima, who was about to step in to help.

However, Yulongdu just gritted his teeth and didn't catch the ball.

Through his own second training, Hakron has acquired the top-tier strength of a Champion.

This is something that most trainers can only dream of, but to fight Giovanni is simply a joke.

Sakaki raised an eyebrow, tossed the ball at Wataru's feet, and sneered, hands in his pockets, "Scared to play now? Huh? Not so tough anymore?"

"Okay, I'll give you one more chance."

Giovanni stepped on the switch of the Poké Ball, forcibly releasing Dragonair.

Nidoking took two steps forward and twisted Hakron's throat, bringing him face to face with his master's forehead.

Sakaki leaned close to Hakkron and said, "Give the order, and my life is yours."

"Ferryman, I'll only count to three, just three."

On the outskirts of the battlefield, Su Sheng, who had just emerged from the golden ring, almost couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.

Giovanni is clearly trying to trick the Dodo.

If he dared to give the order, King Nido would not hesitate to crush Hakron's throat first.

"One! Two!"

If Su Sheng could see this, then so could Yu Longdu.

Therefore, even though he was furious inside, he kept quiet and dared not make any rash moves for the safety of his partner, Hakron.

"three!"

After hearing its master utter the last word, Nidoking grabbed Hakron and moved it to the other side.

Sakaki gave Lance's red hair two quick pats on the head, exasperatedly saying, "I gave you a chance and you didn't do it! Huh? I gave you a chance and you didn't do it!"

"Everyone in the world is a witness, right? I gave you a chance today, but you didn't seize it, so it's not my fault."

"Let me be clear, from now on, anyone who calls me or anyone from the Rockets 'Master' in public must call me 'Master,' or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

Countless people in front of their televisions remained silent.

Prior to this operation, Damaranchi had mentioned countless times in interviews and on social media that this was his last job as the president of the alliance.

It's obvious that he wants to bring his career to a perfect close.

The fact that the Rockets would get involved is something that even people who witnessed the game at Quartz Plateau three years ago could more or less guess, let alone those within the league.

I thought that even if Su Sheng wasn't there, the alliance with two top legends wouldn't be able to win big, but at least they should be able to draw.

So, I thought you were holding in a big problem, but it turns out you just took a big dump?

"Haha! Let's go! Let's go!"

Feeling refreshed, Sakaki stretched and prepared to leave.

Because of Xiao Yin, he really couldn't kill Yu Long Du.

But the insults given to this mad dog today are worse than killing him.

Anyone with eyes can see that.

The reason this battle was lost was not Kyurem's fault, but the trainer's fault.

Ultimately, Lance lost because his abilities as a trainer were inferior to Giovanni's.

Kyurem, the Dragon of the Way, is arguably the strongest Pokémon in the world right now.

With a partner like that, how could you still lose? You can't find any excuse at all!

"I can't let you leave like this, Mr. Sakaki."

Dan Di quickly stepped in to stop them, and with Wuji Tai, they stood like an enormous city wall in front of Sakaki.

Now that Dark Mewtwo has lost its ability to fight, Dan, who possesses Eterna, is fully capable of defeating it.

but……

A giant golden ring rose out of thin air, and the Dark Bird God flew out from it.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

It was Dark Lugia!

The next second, Dark Lugia, which flew out of the golden ring, spread its wings, and the man in its arms jumped down.

Joker!

"They actually won..."

Joker glanced sideways at the kneeling, dejected Yu Longdu, his eyes behind the mask showing disbelief.

If someone who knows him were to see this, they would definitely be filled with suspicion.

Because this "Joker" has a completely different vibe from what I had in mind.

"hateful……"

Dante, usually a nice guy, rarely swore.

The moment Joker arrived, the situation completely reversed.

Even now that he possesses Eternatus, he is not arrogant enough to defeat the Joker, who possesses the legends of Dark Lugia and the liberation of Hoopa.

Not to mention that Joker's own qualities as a trainer are also superior to his own.

"How's it going in Sinnoh? Has Dr. Su Sheng not returned yet?"

"Dan Di asked in a low voice."

The helpless reply from Damaranchi's assistant came through the earpiece: "Champion Su Sheng just sent a message that Cynthia is injured and he is treating her. He will probably be back in about two minutes."

"Two minutes... I should be able to hold them off."

Dan Di bit his lip hard, taking a step forward as if he were fighting two opponents at once.

"Forget it, Dan-ti champion."

Joker raised his hand in a gesture of disapproval, "With only Eterna, you are no match for me, and I have no interest in fighting right now."

After saying that, "Joker" muttered to himself, "And if I really fought you, I'd probably lose..."

"Let's go."

"Joker" winked at Sakaki, and together they stepped into the Golden Ring.

On the other side of the portal is Jade Rainbow Game City, one of Team Rocket's bases.

"call……"

"Joker" let out a long sigh, and his skin began to writhe strangely. His body shrank at a visible speed, and the writhing skin seemed to have a consciousness and gathered together, turning into a Ditto.

And "Joker" revealed his true identity, which turned out to be Little Blue!

While studying under Uncle Liu, Xiao Lan had already mastered the art of disguise to perfection.

This is also why she hasn't been caught after escaping from Uncle Liu.

After she demonstrated this ability, she became Su Sheng's exclusive stand-in.

While Zoroark could perform this task before, Zoroark, being a Pokémon, cannot speak, so Blue is more suitable.

Apollo and his confidants stepped forward, ready to offer their congratulations.

Giovanni, beaming with ecstasy, shouted, "Pass on my order: Team Rocket will celebrate for three days, and all expenses will be reimbursed!"

Looking at the excited "colleagues," Xiao Lan felt a strong sense of foreboding.

She had witnessed Sakaki's humiliation of Wataru today.

Although Xiao Lan wasn't adopted like Xiao Yin, she still had a good understanding of the Dragon King's personality.

That person will definitely not let this go.

……

……

"Sorry I'm late, what happened?"

One minute after "Joker" and Sakaki left, Su Sheng also arrived at the scene through the Hoopagin Ring and asked anxiously.

The deathly silence of the scene had already substituted for an answer.

After forcing a smile that looked worse than a grimace at Su Sheng, Damaranchi, who appeared decades older, looked at the silent Yulongdu with a sorrowful expression.

To be honest, he would rather Yulongdu fly into a rage and spew profanities than keep his emotions bottled up like this.

There's always a premonition of an impending storm.

"At least Team Plasma no longer exists, and Team Galactic has been dealt with as well."

Su Sheng comforted him.

"Say that to Rosamund; I, a retired person, won't interfere."

Damaranchi let out a long sigh.

Indeed, criminal organizations in various regions have been largely eradicated in recent years, but the problem is that Team Rocket is getting stronger and stronger!

If he could, Damaranchi would rather there be more criminal organizations in various places than have a super troublemaker like Team Rocket emerge.

After spending several hours cleaning up the battlefield, Su Sheng once again had Little Huba use his abilities to send the league champions from various regions back.

When Su Sheng woke up the next day, he saw a lot of news about himself.

Alola's Manalo Daily: "The facts that have occurred for three consecutive years have proven to us that the League cannot defeat any enemy without Dr. Sussou. Even with Kyurem, the Dragon of the Way, and Eternatus, the League of Indigo League was still defeated by Team Rocket. But thankfully, the secret operation led by our Alola Champion, Dr. Sussou, to wipe out the Sinnoh criminal organization Team Galactic has achieved a complete victory."

Galar's "Gongmen Economic News": "This is all the fault of Lance, the Indigo League champion. He put his personal dignity above the interests of the team. If he had done his best to support Leon in yesterday's battle, it wouldn't have turned out this way."

Sinnoh's "Celebration TV" announced a major piece of news: President Sunburst has passed away due to a sudden illness. Professor Irisviel will succeed him as the new president. The grandmother of the former champion said in an interview: "I never thought that I, an old woman, would be entrusted with such an important responsibility at my age. It's a pity that Cynthia went to Alola. If she has children in the future, I hope that my great-grandchild can serve in Sinnoh."

That evening, Kurumi sat at the news desk of the Kanto Golden TV and said, "After communication between the regional leagues, the legendary Mr. Damaranchi, who has served in the Pokémon League for over 30 years, has officially announced his retirement. Ms. Lusamine, the Alola League President, will take over as the new Pokémon League President. I believe she will lead the League into a new era."

……

……

Even though Damaranchi had hinted at this in public on more than one occasion before this United States operation.

But when it was officially announced, it unsurprisingly became the biggest news of the year, no less impactful than the impact of Wataru's third crushing defeat on Giovanni.

Although the league has been suffering defeat after defeat in recent years, and undercover agents have been discovered one after another.

However, this does not affect Damaranchi's status in the League, nor can his past contributions to the League and the Pokémon world be erased.

【Sister Zhulan is the woman who can become my mother】: "I have mixed feelings. Grandpa Damaranchi is going to retire behind the scenes. It feels like the Elf League is on the verge of collapse."

【Anti-Cardamom Chrysanthemum】: "It's not that bad. Isn't Su Sheng here to keep things in check? To be honest, the Allied forces were unlucky yesterday. If they had held on for just one more minute, Su Sheng would have arrived."

【Original Magnemite of the Strange Tree】: "Isn't it because Lance is too selfish? He insisted on a one-on-one fight. If he had teamed up with Dan, they would have taken down Giovanni long ago!!"

[Want to eat the Joker's feet]: "I'm more curious who can keep those hot-tempered guys in the Indigo League in check after Damaranchi leaves."

【Boss Dora: Dora Dora】: "That's true. Apart from Shiba, who's obedient, the other three are all troublemakers with terrible tempers. Who's the new president of the Indigo League? Can he handle them?"

……

……

Su Sheng saw this comment while scrolling through his phone during dinner and thought it made a lot of sense.

Of the four Quartz Kings, only Shiba is relatively easy to deal with; the other three are all complicated.

In the past, when the highly respected Damaranchi was in office, he could keep them in check.

Now that the old man is gone, Su Sheng doesn't even dare to imagine which new president could stand them.

That evening, Su Sheng was pulled into a room by Lusamine to celebrate her becoming the new president of the alliance.

More than an hour later, Lusamine picked up her phone and turned it on, only to find that Damaranchi had called her more than thirty times.

When Damaranchi made his third call, Rosamune couldn't take it anymore and turned off her phone. She hadn't expected the old man to be so persistent.

Something big must have happened.

As soon as Rosamund dialed back, the old man on the other end of the line exclaimed in a tone that said, "Dad, you finally answered the phone! It's terrible! A-Du has resigned!"
