Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

Unlike ideal thunder, unlike real flames, it is the domineering power unique to Kyurem.

However, just as the icy light engulfed the city walls and approached the dojo, a pair of illusory white wings pierced through the twilight, bringing a gentle breeze and pleasant weather back to the world.

Within the girl's field of vision, the pure white dragon was detaching from the crystal, spreading its wings to protect her and the people passing by.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

......

Turning back the clock, our gaze returns to yesterday, to the giant cave in Kagome Town, and the pale blue behemoth moored on the ground.

The current leader of the Plasma Team, who could also be considered its chief scientist, Akromma, was speaking in a low voice, questioning the three people kneeling on one knee.

"The Dark Triangle... Where is the information I need?"

Behind the man, in the shadows, the masked triplets knelt on one knee and spoke in unison.

"The Gene Wedge is being guarded by Mayor Shaka of Twin Dragons City. According to a folk song passed down in Dragon Village, it has the special ability to merge two into one. Furthermore, Champion Adeker is still missing, Alice is not of great use, and the defenses of Twin Dragons City are sparse."

"Really?"

Akroma's eyes flickered as she looked down at the buttons on the control panel in front of her, her mind racing with thoughts.

"Using the ancient artifact, the Gene Wedge, to fuse Kyurem is hardly a challenge."

The moonlight streaming down from the dome fell onto the lens, reflecting a bluish-green hue. A sense of obsessive and compulsive pursuit almost distorted the belief, yet it stopped just in time, turning into a faint sigh of regret.

"Forget it, this is the most time-saving and labor-saving method. There's no need to complicate things or rashly try new technologies."

"What if something unexpected happens and the operation fails?"

Jero, the only surviving member of the Seven Sages, snorted coldly, showing no regard for the former's feelings.

However, this remark seemed to tickle the man's funny bone, causing him to smile broadly.

"The operation failed? With my flawless calculations, even the dragon god's husk, Kyurem, fell into my grasp. How could there be any possibility of failure!"

Looking back at the ice dragon, still slumbering in its container, Akromar no longer hesitated.

"No need for further words, Plasma Team, depart! Destination—"

"Shuanglong City!"

Chapter 188 Insect God Genesect

Snowflakes fell like cotton, scattering across the world; a cold tide washed over everything, chilling to the bone.

Above the ice-sculpted building, in the vast darkness illuminated by lights, a colossal warship rests high above, looking down upon the sky.

[Plasma Destroyer]

Anyone who was personally involved in the events of that time is destined to never forget that colossal ship that symbolized disaster.

"Hello! This is Interpol, codename 'Handsome,' can you hear me?"

Wearing a dark brown overcoat, the middle-aged man with a mature face and deep wrinkles anxiously dialed the phone and connected to the public address system to evacuate nearby people, staring at the screen.

"Shuanglong City Police Department received your message. How should we handle the current situation?"

On the other end of the phone, Officer Jenny raised her knuckles to wipe the fine sweat from her forehead, her mind filled with disbelief.

She had only recently become a switchboard operator and never imagined that her first experience would be in such a crisis.

"Stay calm and mobilize the people near the city center as quickly as possible via messages and broadcasts. Also, gather the trainers to stop the invading Team Plasma!"

Previously, the man codenamed 'Handsome' was commissioned by the United Federation to secretly investigate the whereabouts and purpose of Team Plasma after Ghetsis was arrested and imprisoned. Even now, few people within the organization know about this.

After nearly a month of observation, he concluded that even though the former leader was imprisoned, the organization's discipline remained intact, and it continued to carry out its operations both overtly and covertly.

It could be said that although he foresaw this scene, he never expected that the infamous organization would act so blatantly, even attempting to freeze a central city.

When everything is out in the open, there is no need for one to remain hidden.

"Notify the plainclothes officers lurking in various locations to temporarily hold off the members of the Plasma Team, giving the people time to evacuate."

Clenching his teeth, he dialed the number. As each word left his mouth, the handsome man's weathered face showed signs of hard work and weariness.

......

The gaze rises upwards, then falls back onto the suspended giant ship.

It was clear to the naked eye that the man sitting at the head of the table was full of vigor and seemed to have everything under control.

"The repeated operation plan involves one of the Seven Sages, Zero, defeating Gym Leader Shaka, with the target being the [Gene Wedge] in his possession."

Adjusting his non-prescription glasses, Akroma stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said coldly.

"The Dark Trio will assist Mr. Geralt in his operation and prevent any aid from getting in the way... The remaining members will take advantage of the chaos and manpower shortage to rescue the leader of Ghetto from prison. Is that alright?"

He had said all he needed to say, but the old man, clad in a long robe and with a hunched back, did not agree and instead questioned him.

"What if you act based on only one piece of information, and then encounter the new Elise Champion, or happen to run into the Ultron who is nearby?"

Everyone knows that Shaka and Alice are master and apprentice, and they also know that their relationship is not like that of elder and younger, but more like that of father and daughter.

"Could it be that Mr. Gerald, the leader of the Seven Sages, is only capable of this much, unable to even win a sure victory in a field battle? Mr. Quixote has really wasted his time raising you bunch of useless insect eggs."

Others were unwilling to show any respect, and Akromma, being a scholar, was naturally unwilling to suppress his pride, lower his stance, or speak in a calm manner.

"However, you need not be afraid. So what if you encounter so-called kings and champions? Apart from the Kyurem, which is currently in a slumber, it and they will also help you personally."

"they?"

With a broad smile, the man looked up at the empty space behind him, making no attempt to conceal his carefree attitude.

Inside that container filled with icy air, a giant dragon, standing on two legs and covered in scales, lowered its head, closed its eyes, and allowed its extremely low body temperature to condense water vapor, which then adhered to layers of frost on its wings.

That was the remnant of the dragon god, Kyurem, which he had awakened from ancient relics using scientific methods and his extensive knowledge. But this was only his last trump card. The true source of Akromar's peace of mind and confidence was—

In the shadow cast by the cavity, several pairs of fierce crimson eyes opened simultaneously, following the thought. Clad in deep purple heavy armor and carrying sturdy giant cannons, these insect-like mechanical creations were not singular, but swarms of hunters.

The ancient insectoid race, which existed 300 million years ago, has now been transformed into a force under its complete control through the manipulation of a single hand.

"Genesect, you will lead Mr. Zero and the Dark Trio to destroy the Twin Dragons Gym."

The man propped his chin up with his finger and thought to himself, then glanced at the center of the control panel, at the bright red button.

His glasses reflected light, and for a fleeting moment his face showed fervor, before he quickly returned to his gentle, smiling scholarly demeanor.

"The plan is about to begin."

drip-

Akroma gladly pressed the button in front of him.

In an instant, the entire ship trembled slightly, and the Kyurem inside the canister opened its scarlet eyes, spewing out a chilling, bone-chilling aura.

The enormous energy surged into the transmitter, causing the two-way pipe to expand violently, yet it never ruptured.

"Let the entire Twin Dragons City become the sacrifice for Team Plasma's return! Today is the day to proclaim our might to the world once more!"

......

"Look, everyone! The Plasma Team's destroyer is making another move!"

Exclaiming in surprise, Alice pointed to the giant ship anchored at a high point. This floating creation belonging to the Plasma Team was now opening its armor, revealing metallic cannons extending from its bottom.

This was certainly not an inaction. The thick, cold air seemed to materialize, gathering in the center of the chest. In the blink of an eye, a beam of icy blue light descended from the sky, landing on the landmark building of Shuanglong City, and then spreading in all directions, freezing any visible dead objects and living beings.

"Oh no! That's the power of Kyurem! Little Alice, you must retreat!"

Seeing this, as the Gym Leader of Odd Dragon City, how could Shaka not know what Team Plasma was thinking, and how could he not know that they already possessed the body of an Ice Dragon?

Without time to think too much, under the power of the legend, the burly old man rushed out of the dojo, trying to open his arms and use his own body to shield the girls who were about to arrive from the first wave of cold.

However, unexpectedly, just as the dividing line was drawn here, the dojo with the twin dragons in the midst of the cold wave showed no signs of freezing. The people standing there even felt a warm and comfortable current.

"This is?"

Looking around in astonishment, perhaps only Korni among the group knew what had happened.

She tilted her head slightly to look at her friend who was protecting her behind her. A sweet feeling welled up in the girl's heart, along with a hint of something indescribable.

Undoubtedly, having met Yperthal and Rahiram before, I knew very well that they had once again received the protection of Nanyin and had been blessed with even more kindness.

Lost in thought, several figures leaped down from the heights and landed in front of them.

Before I could even see clearly, the person's voice rang in my ears.

"Mayor Shaka, knowing full well that the information about the [Gene Wedge] had been leaked, you still insisted on staying in Twin Dragons City. Your arrogance is the biggest reason for your failure!"

After these words were spoken, the old man in the long robe choked up, regretting his earlier outburst.

Not only Alice, but also the two Heavenly Kings, Cattleya and Wanlong, were present. Moreover, the white-haired girl's aura was equally impressive. This was nothing like the ease and casualness that Akromma had described.

But having made such a bold claim, he could only place his hopes on the horde of insects and beasts that accompanied him.

"Speaking of which, let's make our move, the Dark Trio, and—Genesect!"

With a flick of his sleeve, a crimson light burst forth from the shadows, and the ancient insectoids following behind also lowered their cannons, gathering terrifying energy.

This is not a friendly competition, but a life-or-death struggle.

Chapter 189 Reappear, Reshiram!

Once it is confirmed that they are inevitably in opposition, the outbreak of battle can happen in an instant.

From the shadows beneath the eaves of the building, three identical figures, dressed in neat uniforms, stepped out of the darkness in unison, blades in hand, appearing silently before everyone's eyes.

The triplets [Dark Trio] possess the ability to conceal themselves like ninjas. Now, under orders, they must defeat the former and seize the Gene Wedge.

Despite differing ideologies and shared ambitions, this struggle will be inevitable as long as the foundation of Team Plasma remains intact.

As the command was issued, the armored giant insect leaped into the air, or swooped down to sever its foot blades, or raised its cannon muzzle to gather power.

"Disturbing one's peaceful dreams and disrupting one's leisure time, it's truly an annoying sight."

Instead of rebuking Genesect for being controlled, Cattleya simply widened her eyes, which shone with indigo light, and raised her eyebrows, making no attempt to hide her disgust for Team Plasma.

With a single word, the power that erupted from his voice stirred up the winds and clouds, whipping up sand and stones. In an instant, the entire Twin Dragons City trembled under the wrath of this super-powered king.

At this point, the questioning shouts were uttered once again.

"Where do you get your confidence from!"

The immense mental power froze living beings, separating people and objects in mid-air. Even the five ferocious insect beasts had to retract their stances and retreat.

The super-powered queen, who is on par with Sabrina, has so powerful that she has erased the generational gap between humans and elves.

But the next moment, a long wavelength stirs the magnetic field, shakes the mind, pushes the senses to their limits, makes listening too cluttered, and plunges the brain into a chaotic storm of information processing.

"Of course, it's because of my existence."

Projections appeared on screens near and far, and the elegant blond man lifted his glasses and laughed loudly.

"Although your appearance was unexpected, out of caution, how to curb the power of superpowered individuals has been on the agenda for a long time."

"To destroy a sophisticated machine, one often only needs to make a slight turn from the inside. Admittedly, I, Akromar, cannot directly withstand the power it unleashes. But Miss Gadriya, if you rashly use your superpowers without knowing the information, you could indiscriminately harm your friends. Do you have the resolve to do so?"

As the saying goes, the control of superpowers is so precise that the senses are transformed to an extremely acute level. When the information collected is too cluttered, locking onto a target becomes an unrealistic pipe dream.

This seemingly innocuous interference, however, struck at the very heart of the former; she could not possibly ignore her friend and launch a forceful offensive.

"..."

Holding her forehead in silence, Gadria exhausted all her energy just sorting through the information in her mind, while the ancient insect beasts certainly wouldn't let this rare opportunity slip by.

Fusion transformed into a shuttle, sweeping away the heavy clouds. As soon as the sonic boom resounded, the sharp blades of their feet were already close to each other's foreheads.

"If that's the case, then let's prove everything through a battle!"

With some concern, Alice glanced at Cattleya, whose lip was bleeding from biting it. In this moment of crisis, the young Alice, not yet a teenager, resolutely stepped forward and stood in front of everyone.

Now that she is the champion of the region, she should have the responsibility and commitment to shed her past immaturity and let all the people feel at ease and proud to entrust her with this responsibility.

"Haxodon, Hydreigon, Dragonite!"

The dark blue dragon beast, its teeth interlocked, stood firmly on the ground, using its axe blade to meet the falling cross-shaped scissors head-on. The three-headed evil dragon roamed the high sky, spewing waves of evil thoughts to hinder the rising attacks. The swift dragon, clad in armor and wielding its sharp blade, charged forward relentlessly, linking up with the rest of the group.
