I caught a Pokémon

Chapter 325 Dr. Sillano

The handsome man clearly understood that all their hopes now rested on Naz.

He said earnestly, "Miss Naz, I'm entrusting this to you!"

Naz didn't look at him and ignored him, but still took a step forward.

If it were just for the sake of the international police, or simply to eliminate Team Rocket, she would never have shown herself and put herself in the spotlight. But since this is Xia You's wish, she has no reason to stand idly by!

After all, Xia You's affairs are her own affairs!

Seeing that Sabrina was willing to help, the handsome guy, in order to cooperate with her, ordered the international police to throw smoke bombs in all directions and lure Team Rocket's Pokémon to other places to provide her with cover.

bang bang bang...

Dozens of smoke grenades were thrown onto the open ground. The next second, thick white smoke billowed out, instantly enveloping the battlefield and finally giving the other international police officers some breathing room.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, they all put away their Pokémon to protect them from enemy attacks and electromagnetic interference.

The remaining international police officers kept firing their guns, trying to draw the Rocket Team's attention!

Unfortunately, the firearms used by international police are far less powerful than Pokémon!

Often, after they had only fired a few shots, the Zubat and the Double Gas would immediately retaliate, keeping them unable to lift their heads!

Although it couldn't cause much damage, it did distract the Rockets and had some effect.

Taking all of this in view, Xia You couldn't help but sigh once again at how unbalanced the development of military equipment in this world was!

It's unclear whether the skill points were allocated incorrectly, or whether there was an over-reliance on Pokémon's power, but the development of firearms has been very slow, resulting in a limited variety and a significant decrease in power.

If this operation had been supported by helicopters carrying a large amount of high-tech weaponry, it wouldn't have ended up in this predicament.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, the handsome guys were just police officers, and with Pokémon around, who would have thought it would turn out like this!

Smoke filled the air.

The extremely low visibility also temporarily halted the enemy's offensive.

Although Tatsumi ordered the Zubats to blow away the smoke with their wings, this delay still bought precious time, giving Sabrina the opportunity to approach the signal tower.

Even if a few ignorant Pokémon blocked her way, Sabrina waved her hand and used her psychic powers to defeat them all.

This naturally caught Tatsumi's attention.

She stared at Sabrina, frowned, and ordered the Team Rocket members beside her, "Don't just stand there like idiots, stop that woman!"

At his command, several Team Rocket members jumped in front of Sabrina to try to stop her, but before they could do anything, they were all blasted away by her superpowers!

"Go away!"

Sabrina's hair moved without wind, floating a dozen centimeters above the ground. Her whole body was enveloped and protected by psychic powers, and her eyes glowed red. In front of her, neither humans nor Pokémon could stand a chance!

"cut!"

Seeing his subordinates fall one after another, Tatsumi cursed under his breath and had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

He released his Pokémon and charged toward Sabrina, but it was too late. As Sabrina approached the signal tower, she raised her hands, and a Team Rocket truck was lifted high into the air by her psychic powers!

Glancing at the unfortunate driver inside the truck, ignoring his panicked and pale face, the next second, Naza waved her hand and threw the truck directly towards the signal tower!

"Do not!!!"

Tatsumi arrived late and could only watch helplessly as the signal tower tilted under the impact of the truck, and the signal device on it exploded violently!

boom!

The effect was immediate; almost instantly, without the interference of the radio waves, all the border police's Pokémon regained their power!

Tatsumi stood there, staring wide-eyed at Natsumi in disbelief.

He simply couldn't understand how these people could still achieve such a level of skill even without their Pokémon! Especially this woman in front of him, she was ridiculously strong!

Is this really something a human could do?

With the radio waves no longer interfering, it was finally time for the international police to stand tall and begin their counterattack!

They released Arcanine again and launched a full-scale attack on Team Rocket.

After thinking for a moment, Xia You also released several of her Pokémon and joined the battle.

Compared to before, the International Police's Pokémon have also suffered considerable losses, and in terms of numbers, they no longer have the advantage they had at the beginning. If nothing unexpected happens, it may not be so easy to break into the research institute.

As the blue light flashed, four Pokémon appeared on the field.

This time, Xia You only released four Pokémon: Charizard, Gyarados, Jolteon, and Scyther. As for the others, she left them in their Poké Balls, just in case and to conserve their energy.

Flame jets, electric discharges, cross-shaped shears...

His Pokémon can often easily defeat a Team Rocket Pokémon in just two or three moves.

His Gyarados, in particular, wreaked havoc everywhere, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, charging around the field with its blood-red maw wide open, attracting so much attention!

Even Arcanine had to temporarily avoid its sharp edge, fearing it might be accidentally injured by this 'friendly force'!

With their help, the Rockets lost even faster and more thoroughly!

Damn it!

Tatsumi gritted his teeth and backed away.

Faced with the enemy's attack, Team Rocket naturally suffered repeated defeats. As more and more Pokémon were defeated and team members were arrested, he had no choice but to order everyone to retreat into the research institute.

All facilities except the research institute were quickly captured. Only the research institute gate remained, with a portion of Team Rocket still putting up a last stand, trying to hold onto this last line of defense.

However, it is already in a precarious situation and could be breached at any moment!

Meanwhile, inside the research institute, alarms blared, and researchers and ordinary team members scattered everywhere.

In a research room, a man dressed in a Team Rocket research suit, wearing small glasses, with a bowl haircut and goatee, and looking somewhat effeminate, stood in front of a monitor, calmly watching the screen.

Compared to the chaos around him, he remained calm, as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him!

Tatsumi, accompanied by several Team Rocket members, stumbled through the heavy security door and ran to his side.

"Dr. Shiranu! The area outside the base has been completely overrun, and the base in Kaji Town has also fallen. We need to evacuate through the secret passage!"

The man called Dr. Shiranu glanced at him and snorted coldly: "You're really useless. You can't even defend a single base! And I even used Project R to help you!"

Tatsumi blushed, but was powerless to refute.

"Have all the documents been destroyed?"

Chen Ji broke out in a cold sweat: "Because it happened so suddenly, we didn't have time to destroy everything..."

“Then let’s destroy it physically,” Dr. Sillanu said coldly. “In short, we absolutely cannot leave the data to those international police!”

After saying that, he ignored Chenji and looked at the screen with great interest. There, a Gyarados had just defeated the last Zubat on the outskirts of the research institute and was roaring to the sky!

His glasses reflected a sharp light as he exclaimed excitedly, as if talking to himself, "What a magnificent form! What perfect power! Compared to those flawed creatures in the Lake of Rage, this is the Gyarados I truly desire!"

Chapter 326 Gyarados Out of Control

boom!

After a loud crash, Gyarados smashed through the door, and the huge impact instantly sent Team Rocket and their Pokémon flying. This also meant that the last line of defense outside the research institute had completely fallen!

International police swarmed in and captured the Rocket Team members who had no chance to escape.

Leaving some people behind to clean up the mess, the handsome guy, Xia You, and the remaining international police officers continued their advance into the research institute without stopping.

Perhaps having lost their will to fight, they passed through the lobby, corridors, lounges, restaurants, and other areas without encountering any significant resistance.

With Gyarados leading the way, they arrived at the core research lab of the building in just a few minutes.

Upon entering the research lab filled with electronic equipment, Xia You immediately spotted a man standing on a high control panel, looking down at them!

Judging from his calm and composed demeanor, he seemed to have been waiting for quite some time!

However… the room was completely empty except for him. Not only were there no researchers, but Chen Ji was also nowhere to be seen, and no one knew where he had hidden.

However, the surrounding area was littered with smashed computers, and the desktops were covered with papers and documents that hadn't been cleared away in time. The chairs were also scattered and overturned, showing how hastily those people had left.

Xia You also noticed a small device resembling a signal transmitter next to the man.

At this moment, current is surging through the equipment, making a crackling sound, which looks extremely dangerous!

Before the handsome man could even speak, the man had already gracefully bowed and introduced himself.

"Hello, I am Dr. Shiranu. Welcome to my research institute. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Dr. Shiranu, as one of the important doctors in Team Rocket, is different from Dr. Nanpo. He is not as irritable, nor is he as meticulous as Dr. Segal. He will always talk calmly and rationally. At the same time, he is quick-witted and rarely acts on his own. He usually delegates things to his subordinates.

"Looks like you're the one in charge here?" The handsome man sized him up for a few moments, then threatened, "What exactly are you guys up to? What is Project R?! Tell me the truth right now!!"

To be honest, ever since I heard about this plan, it's been like a lump in my throat, making the handsome guy eager to find out more about it.

Dr. Shiranu chuckled, seemingly having no intention of hiding anything: "You wouldn't understand if I explained it in too complicated a way, so I won't waste my breath. But I can tell you that, in the end, Project R is simply stimulating the DNA of early-stage Pokémon, promoting their unconditional evolution, and making them stronger and more destructive!"

"As expected!" The handsome man looked as if he hadn't expected it. "So, the recent Gyarados attacks at the Lake of Rage were all your doing, right? And even the rumors about a red Gyarados appearing there were caused by you, weren't they?"

The so-called red Gyarados, putting aside the story in Xia You's memory, he had actually heard the residents of Yanmo City talking about it when he passed through Yanmo City.

It seems to have been discovered recently, and the news spread quickly. According to the discoverer, the red Gyarados was much stronger and more powerful than the average Gyarados, and because it was red, it was very conspicuous in the lake.

However, Xia You remembered that this red Gyarados was eventually captured by Adu and became an important part of his fighting force!

“That’s not wrong.” Dr. Shiranu first acknowledged this point, but then shook his head. “However, that wasn’t our intention. The reason that Gyarados turned red was simply because it was stimulated by radio waves during its Magikarp period and suddenly evolved. It still had a lot of Magikarp DNA remaining in its body, which is why its scales turned red. At most, it can only be considered a failed product. We originally wanted to get rid of it, but we didn’t expect it to break out of its cage and escape. That’s why we led you here!”

Seeing Dr. Sillanu's cooperation, the handsome man thought he had surrendered and subconsciously lowered his guard.

"Are you saying all this because you intend to give up resistance, confess, and receive leniency in order to lessen your crime?"

“Give up? No, no, no…” Dr. Syranu chuckled softly, “The reason we established the research institute here is because, after a series of selections, we valued Magikarp’s potential. We believed that under the stimulation of Project R, they would evolve into Gyarados and become even more powerful, which could be used by our Team Rocket. However, after so many experiments, we still haven’t achieved the desired results. Originally, I was already prepared to change to other Pokémon as research subjects…”

At this point, his tone shifted, and he said with great excitement, "But now... after seeing that Gyarados, I finally realized that my research direction has been wrong all along. If I were to experiment with an already powerful Gyarados, it would definitely become even more powerful!!"

After saying that, he looked intently at Xia You's Gyarados.

His words made the handsome man feel uneasy. Although he didn't quite understand, he knew that no matter what this person wanted to do, he had to stop him as soon as possible!

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated, took out a pair of handcuffs from his waist, and quickly approached Dr. Sillanu.

Dr. Shiranu glanced at him, snorted, and then looked away, quickly making a few moves on the control panel in front of him.

Instantly, the small signal transmitter beside him turned around and aimed at Xia You...

No, to be more precise, it was aimed at the Gyarados behind Xia You!

"What do you want to do!?"

The handsome man was shocked and rushed toward Dr. Shiranu, but after only a few steps, he saw someone staring at him as he pressed a red button.

Instantly, a visible radio wave shot out from the signal transmitter, hitting Xia You's Gyarados precisely!

The radio wave came too fast; not only could Gyarados not dodge it, but Xia You and Sabrina also didn't have time to react!

The next second, after being hit by the radio wave, Gyarados let out a painful howl, twisting its body and contorting its face in a ferocious manner!

Xia You frowned, about to step forward to check on its condition, when she saw that the previously scarred scales on Gyarados's body were beginning to fall off and be replaced. Then, its entire body visibly grew more than a size larger and turned crimson red!

"Hahahaha!" Before she could even express her surprise, Dr. Syranu burst into laughter. "It's a success! It's a success!! I should have known better. Experimenting on those dumb Magikarp is completely useless! Only by using a powerful Gyarados as a vessel can a perfect ultimate weapon be created! Now, let me show you the true power of Project R!!"

The handsome man exclaimed in horror, "You're insane! What have you done?!"

However, before everyone could recover, a deafening dragon roar suddenly rang in their ears!

"Ow!!!"

Gyarados stood upright, its eyes bloodshot, and roared to the sky!

This sound was even more terrifying than its previous roar, and coupled with its current size, it was simply domineering!

After a long while, when Gyarados lowered its head again, everyone looked into its eyes and found that the light that represented reason had long since faded!

At this moment, Gyarados's eyes were filled only with endless rage and man-eating madness!

It's completely out of control!

Chapter 327 is nothing but brutality.

With a flick of its tail, Gyarados sent several international police officers flying!
