Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"It's so cold!"

"Why is it so cold even while wearing protective clothing?!"

Arbok! Arbok!

Amidst the drifting snow and ice, crystal-clear ice sculptures quickly take shape.

Whether you're a trainer or a Pokémon, without sufficient strength, you simply cannot withstand the erosion of Ninetales' ice-type energy.

The terrifying ice and snow caused the temperature inside the cave to drop lower and lower.

Those Rockets members were simply no match for them.

As Xia Yan walked by, besides the dazzling Nine-Tailed Fox following closely behind, there were only faces filled with horror and fear.

"Is this all the people they sent to stay behind?"

Xia Yan sighed inwardly.

The Frozen Falls Cave is very deep. Along the way, in addition to some wild Ice-type Pokémon, we also encountered some scattered Team Rocket members.

Judging from their actions...

It appears that they are preparing to relocate some equipment and devices.

Xia Yan simply froze all of these members.

However, these devices could still be of some value, so Xia Yan chose to store them in Darkrai's fourth-dimensional space.

Not long after.

Xia Yan then arrived at the deepest part of the cave.

It also served as a temporary secret research base for the Rockets.

Placing the research base in such a cold cave is certainly a good way to keep it a secret.

"Damn it! Leaving me here to guard some piece of trash, these Three Beast Warriors... who are they?!"

Meanwhile, the person in charge of transferring equipment within the base and guarding important items was an officer from Team Rocket whom Xia Yan did not know.

Obviously.

After the Rockets first announced their disbandment and secretly formed their own organization, the original internal power structure underwent significant changes.

The rapid rise of the Three Beast Warriors, coupled with their inherently arrogant personalities and temperaments, made some of the officers not very friendly towards them.

And Bass, the Rockets' executive who was left behind, is one of them.

However, Sakaki valued the Three Beasts highly, which meant that these executives could only dare to be angry but not speak out.

but.

Upon seeing Xia Yan suddenly appear here.

Bass fully demonstrated the qualities of a Rockets executive.

They immediately located Xia Yan, who was arriving amidst the wind and snow, accompanied by the Nine-Tailed Fox.

and.

It was confirmed that Xia Yan's arrival was not well-intentioned.

Xia Yan adjusted his hat, revealing a pair of dark eyes.

I looked up and gazed at the center of those sophisticated instruments.

Inside a large container filled with an unknown green liquid, Deoxys, with his eyes tightly closed, was imprisoned.

Individual 1!

really.

Darkrai's perception was correct.

Individual 1 is an entity that was abandoned by Team Rocket.

But it is, after all, Deoxys, and can still play a remarkable role.

The original body of the Deoxys clone that attacked Xia Yan and others was this very individual before them.

Seeing that Xia Yan didn't speak but instead focused his gaze on Deoxys, Bass didn't hesitate at all.

Several Poké Balls were thrown out in succession.

"Kill him!"

and.

He instructed the remaining Team Rocket members to immediately drop what they were doing and prioritize dealing with Xia Yan.

"Crossbat, Venom Blast!"

Among the spirits summoned by Bass, the fastest, the Crobat, flapped its four wings and transformed into a purple shadow, immediately launching an attack on Xia Yan.

The target is Xia Yan.

"Let's practice."

A red light flashed around Xia Yan's waist.

Volcarona, Milotic, Ankylosaurus, and Goomy appeared one after another.

He's just an ordinary cadre; there's no need for such a large-scale mobilization.

call--

The fire moth flapped its wings, and as golden flames spread, the temperature inside the cave suddenly rose.

With the agility of "Butterfly Dance," it flashed its body repeatedly while meeting the foul-smelling venom spat out by the cross-bat.

Flame butterflies then appeared, dancing gracefully. The golden butterflies burned the venom, turning it into wisps of purple smoke that dissipated into the air.

When the Crobat suddenly attacked Volcarona, Volcarona made a quick turn, avoiding the attack, and charged directly at Buzz.

Just as the Crossbat was taken aback, a pale beam of light shot out from the Nine-Tailed Fox's mouth.

The terrifyingly low temperatures suddenly froze the cross-bat into a lifelike ice sculpture.

Ice-type Pokémon are super effective against Flying-type Pokémon, and Ninetales' attack, which incorporates "Absolute Zero," instantly annihilated Bass, the Elite Four-level ace Crobat!

ding ding-

Watching the hard ice sculpture fall to the ground with a crisp sound.

Bass and the rest of the Rockets looked completely bewildered.

That strong?!

Bear!!

Before they could even react...

Then they saw a golden ocean sweeping towards them, covering the entire land.

They were already wearing protective suits, and sweat instantly poured out of them, overwhelmed by the heat.

at the same time.

The armored dragon and Goomy also joined the harvest by unleashing their "Dragon Pulse".

Milotic's tail surged with a torrent of water, mixed with frost and ice fragments; a single sweep of "Water Tail" was enough to wipe out the Pokémon of the members.

"Awoo~~ (They're so weak~)"

The Nine-Tailed Fox, following Xia Yan, complained as it swung its tail, releasing a chilling aura.

Xia Yan walked towards the instrument and couldn't help but laugh when he heard what Nine-Tails said.

"Okay, you go first with the person we'll meet later."

Upon hearing this...

Nine-Tailed Fox's cunning eyes darted around, and it stuck out its tongue.

"Awoo~~ (Let's let the duck go first, it's been so energetic lately.)"

"Goodness."

Xia Yan couldn't help but tap its head.

Huailai Nine-Tailed Fox affectionately curled its tail around Xia Yan's wrist and shook it.

Among Xia Yan's Pokémon, Togekiss is the naughtiest, Sylveon is the most clingy, and Ninetales is like a combination of the two little guys, not only clingy but also naughty.

However, compared to them, they are all a bit more restrained.

We walked up to the huge glass container.

Xia Yan's expression softened, and he regained his seriousness.

He placed his palm on the transparent glass.

A surge of wave power flowed from his palm into the container, searching for Deoxys's mental fluctuations.

I don't know what the Rockets did with this Deoxys, Xia Yan could feel that its vital signs were very weak.

However, Xia Yan's application of the Aura Power is no longer the same as when he first awakened it.

As the eyes close.

They entered Deoxys's consciousness space.

In a world as dark and boundless as the universe, and without sound.

Deoxys was like a helpless child, huddled in a corner.

"Deoxys." Xia Yan approached cautiously, calling its name.

The sound, which seemed to come suddenly, alerted Deoxys.

It slowly raised its head, staring at Xia Yan with intense rejection and disgust in its eyes.

It is a loathing for humanity.

There was still a reaction.

That's a good start.
