I caught a Pokémon

"I see..." The handsome man also figured out the key point. "It seems they had planned this all along, but why did they attack that place?"

Silph Company is the most famous manufacturer and distributor of products in the Pokémon world, producing many products including Poké Balls.

Given the Rockets' financial resources, they shouldn't need those Poké Balls. Moreover, if the matter is leaked, it will inevitably trigger a police counterattack. No matter how you look at it, the handsome guy can't understand the reasoning behind it.

"Why bother with all that?" Xia You said nonchalantly. "Even if Team Rocket is going to celebrate the birthday of the owner of Silver Company, we can't let him succeed!"

“You’re right.” The handsome guy laughed, then changed the subject, “However, none of your photos include the Rockets. Even if I hand them over to headquarters and let them negotiate with the police, I’m afraid I won’t be able to gain their trust.”

Xia You was taken aback: "Are you really that lowly in Interpol? You don't even have any influence when you speak?"

"Ahem... let's not talk about this for now..." The handsome man on the other end of the phone coughed lightly and said awkwardly, "The most urgent thing right now is to find out what their intentions are. I wonder if you can help me with this?"

Although Xia You was willing to help, she still said, "Hey, as an Interpol agent, it's not appropriate for me, an ordinary person, to get involved in such a dangerous matter, is it?"

"You're no ordinary person!" the handsome man complimented. "From what happened on the St. Anne last time, I can tell you're a kind-hearted elite trainer. And I won't let you go into that alone. I'll send a request to the Pokémon League right now, and through my personal connections, I'll have them send someone to assist you!"

A member of the Pokémon League?

They still care about this?

After hanging up the phone, Xia You stood in the shadows, carefully observing the situation at the Silver Building. After waiting for a while, a woman of similar age to him walked up behind him.

Xia You turned around and saw that it was actually Na Zi!?

"why you?"

Sabrina was also surprised to see Xia You. She said with a hint of surprise, "The Pokémon League just contacted me, saying that an Interpol agent needed help. I never expected it to be you."

"I'm not an Interpol agent," Xia You quickly waved her hand. "I was just helping him with something. Have you heard what happened?"

Naz shook her head.

"They just said it was urgent and asked me to come here to help and follow their instructions, so I rushed over."

With Naz's help, Xia You was indeed a powerful asset, so she told her the whole story again.

"So, all we need to do is get into the building and figure out what's inside?" Naz turned to look at the Silver Building and asked, "How do we get in?"

“It’s impossible to sneak in from the first floor.” Xia You had obviously come up with a plan. “Originally, I planned to have Kirlia use its psychic powers to send me in from the air, and then have Gastly scout around. But now that you’re here, let’s go in together!”

Chapter 42 Infiltrating the Building

Naza calmly asked, "So, where should we go in from?"

Xia You looked up at the surveillance cameras around the Silver Building, then looked around and pointed to another commercial office building next to it.

"This building is only half the height of the Silver Tower. If you can enter the interior of the Silver Tower from its rooftop, you can avoid the Team Rocket members on the ground floor."

Nazi did not object and followed Xia You across the street, mingling with a group of white-collar workers, and entered the office building.

The two took the elevator to the top floor. At the stairwell leading to the upper floors, Sabrina used her superpowers to break the lock and easily reached the rooftop.

Now it seems that superpowers are indeed a powerful and convenient ability!

A cool breeze blew against Xia You as he stood at the edge of the fence and glanced ahead.

On the street, the endless stream of vehicles had become tiny, and the Silver Building across the street was still quite a distance away.

"What? Are you scared?" Naz asked softly.

"I'm not scared, but my legs are trembling a little..." Xia You didn't try to be brave, but admitted it generously, "But at a time like this, there's no way I could back down."

After saying that, his gaze searched across the street and soon spotted a window that had been broken during Team Rocket's invasion.

It was a floor-to-ceiling window that let in plenty of light, but it was already shattered. Behind the window was an office, but it was now empty because of the riot.

Let's go in from there!

Seeing Sabrina nod slightly, Xia You gestured to Kirlia, who then came to Xia You's side and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Instant teleportation activated.

The next second, Xia You disappeared, and when he and Kirlia reappeared, they were already standing in that office.

Looking back at Naz, I saw her body move without wind, flying directly in from the opposite rooftop.

Okay, you have superpowers, you're amazing!

Once the two were reunited, Xia You whispered, "Gastly."

Gastly's body emerged from his shadow: "What is it?"

Before Xia You could speak, Na Zi covered her mouth in surprise.

"It can actually talk?"

"What's so strange about that!" Gastly glanced at Sabrina. "It's just human language, little girl. You haven't seen enough of the world!"

"Alright, stop joking around," Xia You said. "Let's hurry up and scout out the area. Remember to find out Team Rocket's location."

Watching Gastly fly through the wall, Sabrina turned to look at Xia You, as if she were seeing her all over again.

"Pokémon trainer, Interpol agent, talking Gastly, I never imagined that you, at the same age as me, had such a rich life experience."

"That's still nothing compared to you." Despite the perilous situation, Xia You didn't seem particularly nervous. "Not only do you have superpowers, but you've also become a gym leader. You're the one who's truly enviable."

Perhaps she'd heard too many compliments, because Sabrina didn't pay them any mind. Instead, she asked, "Do you know what the Rockets' goal really is?"

Xia You shrugged, indicating that she didn't know.

He couldn't quite remember the details about the Silver Company in the game because it was so long ago, but he was certain that it was related to the company's president.

At this moment, he took out his phone and glanced at it. Sure enough, just like on the St. Anne, the signal had been completely blocked.

Not long after, Gastly returned.

"Most of the Rockets' members are concentrated in the bottom and top sections, with very few in the middle."

"What about the employees in the building?"

Gastly said, "They've all been gathered into several rooms and are being held separately, but I don't think Team Rocket intends to harm them, so they're still quite safe for now."

"What do you plan to do next?" Naz asked.

“There are so many people, we definitely can’t rescue them all.” Xia You thought for a moment, “I think we should find the president’s office and rescue him. As long as we can ensure his safe departure, no matter what Team Rocket does, the plan will fall through.”

Naza nodded: "It sounds dangerous, but don't worry, since I've accepted the commission, I will definitely assist you."

"That's really reassuring."

Taking a deep breath, Xia You peeked into the corridor, but quickly withdrew.

“There are cameras right in front of us. If we go out like this, we’ll definitely be seen. So we have to deal with the surveillance before we leave!”

With that, Xia You turned to Gastly and instructed, "Let's split up next. You go to the monitoring room first and see if you can disable the entire system, then meet up with us on the top floor!"

"Hehehe." Gastly grinned. "Leave it to me. Destruction is my favorite and my specialty!"

As it spoke, its figure vanished from the room.

……

Silver Building, first floor monitoring room.

At this moment, the two Rockets players were intently watching the monitor, afraid of missing any information.

Before today's operation, both their big boss and superiors had already ordered everyone to be on high alert and not to relax in the slightest.

As ordinary team members with lofty ideals and aspirations, they naturally carried out the order perfectly.

Although they are an evil organization that often does bad things, Team Rocket's internal treatment is actually very good.

They are not only large in scale, with many large, cross-regional listed companies, but they also provide team members with comprehensive social welfare, timely salary payments, and resources such as equipment and Pokémon. They also frequently hold friendly gatherings, tea parties, and encouragement meetings, which is why their cohesion is so strong.

A flippant male voice suddenly came through the walkie-talkie: "Hey, how's the situation over there?"

"Reporting to Mr. Lance!" one of the Team Rocket members reported respectfully, "No abnormalities have been found outside the building!"

The walkie-talkie then asked, "And what about inside the building?"

The Rockets player's gaze swept across all the monitor screens: "No abnormalities were found on any of the floors!"

"Very good." The flippant male voice praised him briefly, then instructed, "Be vigilant. If there are any problems, report them immediately!"

"Yes!"

Setting the walkie-talkie aside, the team member wiped the sweat from his forehead and jokingly remarked, "Sigh, no matter how many times I talk to these cadres, each time it terrifies me."

However, after he spoke for a long time, no one answered or agreed with him. He was surprised and hurriedly turned around to look, only to see another team member lying motionless on the control panel, seemingly asleep!

"What the hell are you talking about?!" He stood up, walked over to the team member, and gave him a hard shove. "Sleeping at a time like this? You've got a real nerve!"

Chapter 43 Wardrobe and Hearing

However, even after pushing him several times, the team member showed no signs of waking up.

Startled, he was about to shout when he suddenly noticed a noise behind him. He quickly turned around and saw a dark, round face right in front of him.

Before he could even scream, a thick, slightly saliva-covered tongue was already licking his face.

Instantly, he felt a dizzying sensation and, like his companion, collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"Hehehe..." Gastly chuckled wickedly, "Have a good nightmare!"

After taking down the two Team Rocket members, Gastly surveyed the various surveillance devices in front of it, conjured a Shadow Ball around itself, and smashed it onto the main controller. The next second, with crackling sparks, all the screens went dark.

"That should work, right?"

Gastly nodded in satisfaction at its victory and was about to disappear when the walkie-talkie next to it suddenly rang.

"The monitoring room? I think I just heard something. What happened there?"

Gastly's body began to change, eventually transforming into the appearance of the Team Rocket member from before.

It picked up the walkie-talkie and replied in the same voice and tone as the original owner, "Report, everything is normal here. The sound just now was from when I accidentally bumped into a chair."

"I see." The person on the other end of the walkie-talkie had no doubt whatsoever. "Continue the surveillance!"

……

In the office on the fifteenth floor, Xia You peeked into the corridor again. Seeing that the red light on the monitor had disappeared, she knew that Gastly had succeeded. She waved to Sabrina, and then the two of them quickly walked towards the stairs.

In this situation, they naturally wouldn't dare take the elevator; if they were discovered, they would truly have nowhere to retreat.

However, to their surprise, they still got off to a bad start. Just as they were about to reach the stairs, they suddenly heard a jumble of footsteps coming from inside.

Xia You was startled. The footsteps were so close, it seemed like they could meet in an instant. Since they had already walked a long way, there was definitely no time to go back to the room they had just left.

Before he could react, Naz grabbed his sleeve and pulled him into a nearby room.

They had just closed the door when they heard several people walk out of the stairwell and actually come to their floor!

They exchanged a glance, both knowing they were still far from the top floor and must not reveal their whereabouts. They turned around at the same time to look for a hiding place.

This room appears to be an activity room of the Silver Company, with several pool tables and sofas inside, green plants in the corners, and a row of tall lockers standing side by side at the far end.

They walked quickly to the locker and reached out to pull the doors, but all of them were locked!

Just as Naz was about to use her telekinesis to unlock the cabinet, Xia You happened to open a cabinet door. Seeing that the wardrobe was just big enough for the two of them to hide in, and hearing the footsteps getting closer, Naz didn't have time to think and rushed inside first.

Xia You took out a Poké Ball, recalled Kirlia, and also went into the wardrobe.

However, even though the wardrobe is large enough to accommodate two people, it is still a bit crowded. Xia You and Na Zi are close together, and there is bound to be physical contact. Even their breaths can hit each other's faces.

However, the two had no time to think about it at the moment. As the door to the activity room opened, several Team Rocket members slowly walked in.

One of them said, "Everyone, search carefully again. Don't miss anyone!"

“Hey Captain,” someone replied, “didn’t we already search the whole building once? Why do we need to search it again?”

"Idiots!" the captain scolded. "This company is so big, and those researchers are so cunning. There might be some survivors hiding somewhere. Our plan cannot fail. Open your eyes wide and search carefully again!"

The footsteps drew closer, and one of the Rockets players walked to the locker, reached out and pulled on the door, but couldn't open it. He shook it hard, and after confirming that he couldn't open it, he walked to the next locker.

Several of them were locked. When he walked up to Xia You, Xia You's heart sank. She was ready to open the door and attack. However, when the Team Rocket member reached out and pulled the cabinet door, he found that, as before, it was still not moving.

"Why are they all locked?" a Rockets player muttered under his breath.

Xia You was surprised and turned to look at Nazi. It turned out that it was Nazi who had activated her telekinesis.

The captain, on the other side of the room, asked, "Really can't open it? Huh? They're all locked? Then forget it, let's hurry to the next room."

"Hey?" someone complained. "Captain, let us rest for a bit. We've searched several floors already, and we're really exhausted."
