I caught a Pokémon

“That’s enough,” the man said. “I won’t let you take another step forward!”

As he spoke, the wall beside Xia You and Li Jia suddenly cracked, and a Pokémon with a strong body, like the monster Godzilla, crashed through the wall and slammed into Li Jia!

Lijia leaned backward, but luckily Xia You reacted quickly and caught her in time.

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth as she looked at the Pokémon with a grave expression.

"It's Benguilas!"

Xia You put Li Jia down and shielded her behind her. Although she already had a guess in her mind, she still asked, "Who are you?"

The man and Athena stood up and walked closer.

"You must be Xia You? My name is Apollo. Like Lambda, Lance, and Athena, whom you defeated, I am one of the four executives of Team Rocket."

Sure enough it was him!

Looking back at Lijia, Xia You smiled wryly and said, "I originally thought that with the support of the international police, everything would go smoothly. Now it seems that we still have to fight these people. How about it, can you still fight?"

"I am fine."

Rika slowly stood up, raised her hand, and released two Pokémon at the same time.

It's the Gloom that once battled Xia You, and a Pokémon that looks like a pineapple tree—Exeggutor!

Athena stared at Xia You and said coldly, "Take off your ridiculous mask. Did you think I wouldn't recognize you just because you're wearing a mask?"

As she spoke, she released her Pokémon, Arbok and Murkrow!

Knowing that a tough battle was inevitable, Xia You no longer hesitated and opened several Poké Balls at the same time.

In an instant, Kirlia, Jolteon, Charmeleon, Wartortle, and Bulbasaur appeared and stood in front of Xia You.

"Whoa!!"

The two sides were on the verge of exchanging blows, and with Tyranitar's roar, the Pokémon unleashed their moves and attacked each other!

Chapter 68 The tide has turned.

Seeing that the scene had become extremely chaotic, Xia You quickly gave orders to redistribute the tasks.

"Kirlia, Charmeleon! You two go fight Murkrow!"

"Joebu, Wartortle, Arbok is yours to handle!"

"Bulbasaur, go help Exeggutor and Gloom, let's attack Tyranitar together!"

Upon hearing his command, the Pokémon quickly adjusted their positions. At the same time, Xia You glanced at Gastly and instructed, "Gastly, take them down one by one!"

"I see!"

Gastly's body disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was already next to Arbok.

Arbok twisted its body to dodge a Flamethrower, then immediately retaliated, spraying a mouthful of acid at the two Pokémon in front of it.

Charmeleon had nowhere to run, but Kirlia suddenly grabbed it and used Teleport to move it to a safe place.

Seeing Spectrum appear silently and without Arbok noticing, Athena shouted, "Arbok! Watch out behind you!"

Arbok had just turned around when it saw a shadow ball getting closer and closer, smashing into its body!

It cried out in pain, but Gastly's attack did not end there. Gastly then stuck out its large tongue, which was covered in saliva, and licked its face.

This not only caused damage but also triggered a paralysis effect!

"Perfect opportunity!" Xia You shouted. "Kirlia, use Magic Leaf! Charmeleon, use Fire Fang!"

The two Pokémon unleashed their moves, hitting Arbok simultaneously. Because of the combination of Fire and Grass, a burning effect was triggered, and this time Arbok didn't even have time to scream before collapsing from exhaustion.

"Good job!"

Just as Xia You was about to repeat the same tactic, shifting his target to continue defeating Murkrow, he suddenly heard Apollo in the distance give the order: "Tyranitar, use Dark Pulse!"

Tyranitar opened its mouth wide, and the next second, rings of light waves and more than a dozen dark bullets were fired from its mouth!

However, its target was not any of the Pokémon present, but rather Xia You and Li Jia!

Despite Exeggutor's hasty attempt to block with Psychic, the difference in strength between the Pokémon meant that while some of the attack was neutralized, some of the shockwave still reached Rika!

"careful!"

Xia You shouted and quickly tackled Li Jia to the ground. In the blink of an eye, the shockwave arrived. Although the two shared the damage, the powerful force still caused them to roll together and flip several meters away!

When they finally stopped, Xia You felt a burning sensation on her arms, thighs, and back, as if she had many bruises. Even her mask had fallen to the side.

Looking at Rika in my arms, she wasn't seriously injured, but her face was pale, clearly she had been quite frightened.

Once Lijia understood the situation, she looked at Xia You's face, her big eyes filled with gratitude.

"Thank you."

Her soft body lay on top of him, and although it was very delicate, Xia You still said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. We can't let it attack us again!"

Rika nodded, quickly got off Xia You, and commanded the Pokémon to counterattack.

When Xia You got up and put her mask back on, Gastly had already defeated Athena's Murkrow. However, Apollo's Tyranitar was extremely powerful. Despite the Pokémon's attacks hitting it, it remained unmoved!

What's even more troublesome is that after Athena was defeated, Apollo calmly took out another Poké Ball and released a second Pokémon!

This is a Pokémon whose entire body, including its tail and forehead, is surrounded by flames. Its appearance is somewhat like an ugly big duck, and its whole body is burning, making it look like a fireball!

"It's a platypus!"

Xia You whispered a reminder, and Li Jia nodded. She also recognized the Pokémon. What's worse, as a Fire-type Magmar, it had a complete type advantage when facing her Pokémon!

However, seeing Xia You's hand instinctively reach for a super ball at her waist, Li Jia's heart stirred, and she whispered, "At this point, don't hold back anymore. If you have any trump cards left, just bring them out."

Xia You hesitated for a moment, just as she was about to release Zapdos, when suddenly the window of the room next to her shattered and a man jumped in from outside!

Fiery red hair, a black cloak—everything was so familiar.

It was A-Du!

Looking around, A-Du smiled and said, "Looks like I've come at just the right time!"

"Wald!" Apollo narrowed his eyes, staring intently at him. "I didn't expect even you to come!"

Adu waved his hand dismissively and said, "Hey, Apollo, we've clashed more than once or twice, so don't be so surprised to see me, right?"

As he spoke, a large Pokémon flew in through the window and slammed into Tyranitar, slamming it against the wall on the other side!

Upon seeing A-Du join the battle, Xia You lowered her arm and asked, "Mr. Du, how is the situation on your side?"

Adu gave Xia You an 'OK' sign: "Don't worry, the SWAT team has already stormed in and will soon take over this floor. These guys won't be able to run rampant for long!"

Upon hearing this, Apollo and Athena exchanged a glance, sensing something was amiss, and both considered retreating.

If only a few people are invading, they can simply eliminate them. However, if a large force has already breached the base, there is no point in wasting any more time here.

Thinking of this, the two of them didn't linger any longer, recalled their Pokémon, and left without looking back!

"Ran?"

Xia You breathed a sigh of relief. Now that she had calmed down, she could indeed hear the sounds of fierce fighting and chaotic footsteps coming from the corridor outside.

He put away the rest of his Pokémon, leaving only Kirlia and Gastly by his side, and walked out of the cafeteria.

Outside, Interpol's special forces were everywhere, and large numbers of Team Rocket members were either fleeing or being arrested, all in a state of utter defeat.

Thinking of Nazi and the handsome guy, Xia You was about to turn around and look for them when she saw the two of them walking slowly over with Kikuko and Modan.

Meeting Naz's gaze, Xia You asked, "Where are the True Bird Squad members?"

Before Naz could speak, the handsome man interjected, "They were driven back by us, or rather, they retreated voluntarily after seeing the SWAT team enter the base."

"So," Xia You said thoughtfully, "we still failed to capture them this time?"

“Yes…” the handsome man sighed helplessly, “This is their lair after all, full of traps and secret passages. It’s not easy to catch them.”

With the first basement level completely occupied, they continued forward, conquering the second and third basement levels in succession, until they reached the fourth basement level!

Just when everyone thought the operation was about to come to a perfect end, the handsome man pushed open the stairwell door and saw a middle-aged man in a suit sitting on a soft sofa in the center of the spacious underground hall, calmly watching them!

Chapter 69 Mewtwo

"Saka...Sakaki!!?"

Everyone was shocked and immediately tensed up, assuming a fighting stance.

"What's going on?" Xia You asked the handsome man in a low voice. "Why is he here? Didn't you already confirm that he was at Evergreen Dojo and send Shiba and Kona to deal with him?"

The handsome man hesitated and said, "I don't know either. Giovanni's whereabouts have always been elusive. Maybe Shiba and Kona just missed him! But since he's shown up here, it saves us a lot of trouble. We can just arrest him!"

Behind Sakaki stood four Rockets executives: Apollo, Athena, Lance, and Lambda.

Despite their predicament, none of them showed any sign of panic.

The handsome man took a few steps forward and looked directly at Sakaki: "Sakaki! You are suspected of kidnapping, vandalism, and multiple terrorist activities. According to international law, I am now formally arresting you!"

Banmu glanced at him and said indifferently, "It was only a matter of time before this base was exposed. I'm not surprised that you were able to find this place, but your speed is indeed several years faster than I expected. It seems that you international police are not entirely a bunch of useless trash."

"Stop lamenting!" the handsome man said in a deep voice. "The Rockets' demise is inevitable! Now, do you want to surrender, or do you plan to continue your stubborn resistance?"

Upon hearing this, Sakaki slowly stood up from the sofa.

"You think you've got the victory in the bag just because you've occupied one of my bases?"

"What do you mean by that?" The handsome man pointed behind him. "With so many people involved today, and Mr. Awa and Ms. Kikuko present, do you still think you can escape?"

Looking at Sakaki, Awatari's expression was slightly sad: "Mr. Sakaki, I used to think you were an upright man, but now it seems I was really wrong about you."

“Itamoto boy…” Kikuko sighed, “Even though we’ve known each other for years, I never imagined you had such a hidden identity!”

"Humans are often blinded by what they perceive as the surface, unable to see the true nature of things. Have you ever truly understood the real me?" Sakaki's tone, just like his personality, was calm and ruthless.

"Enough with the nonsense!" the handsome man snapped. "Gibbon! The strongest trainer and the strongest Pokémon in the Kanto region are right here. If you know what's good for you, you'd better surrender now!"

"The strongest?" Giovanni sneered. "What a joke! A bunch of ignorant people, utterly unaware of their own limitations. Today I'll show you what the strongest Pokémon really is!"

As Sakaki spoke, a thin red light suddenly appeared in the dark corridor behind him!

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, a peculiar Pokémon wearing armor and a helmet slowly flew out of the darkness using its psychic powers.

This is a humanoid Pokémon. Because most of its body is covered, its specific appearance cannot be seen. Only a pair of silver-white, cat-like legs and a thick, purple tail can be seen.

"What kind of Pokémon is this!?"

Everyone was amazed, even the well-informed A-Du and Kikuko looked astonished.

Only Xia You showed no surprise upon seeing this Pokémon.

At this point in time, it was indeed still under Sakaki's control!

"You think you can stop us with just one Pokémon?" The handsome man waved his hand forward and sent out his Delinquent and Growlithe.

The two Pokémon leaped forward and opened their mouths simultaneously, unleashing countless poison needles and a jet of flame that shot directly at the armored Pokémon!

However, just as the two attacks were about to reach it, the armored Pokémon raised its arm, and the next second, the poison needle and the flame were surrounded by two balls of blue light and stopped in mid-air!

With a gentle push of its arm, the two blue beams continued forward, striking the Croagunk and Growlithe, and slamming the two Pokémon against the wall behind them!

Boom!

After two loud crashes, the two Pokémon fell to the ground.

Everyone was shocked!

With a single blow, it easily subdued two Pokémon. After displaying such powerful strength, no one dared to underestimate this armored Pokémon anymore!

Lance nodded to the Dragonite beside him, and Agatha sent out her Gengar. The two Pokémon attacked the armored Pokémon from the left and right!

A Shadow Ball condensed in Gengar's claws and was then thrown towards the Armored Pokémon. At the same time, Dragonite flapped its wings and charged at it.

Just as the attack was about to touch it, the armored Pokémon suddenly disappeared. When it reappeared, it stretched out its hands, and Dragonite and Gengar were also surrounded by blue light and crashed heavily to the ground.

"That's really impressive!" Mordan sighed and said to the group, "Let's all get moving and attack together!"

Rika and Sabrina nodded in unison, directing their Pokémon. Once the handsome guy's Scoundrel and Growlithe got back up, they also sent out their Pokémon to join the attack.

However, as the number of Pokémon increased and their moves became increasingly chaotic, the entire fourth underground level began to shake slightly.

Gastly was about to step forward when it saw Xia You's calm expression. It scratched its head and asked, "Hey? Aren't you going to let me help too?"

Xia You hesitated for a moment.
