"Run fast!!!"
"Ugahhh!! Save me!!"
A swarm of casino staff and guards were desperately trying to escape.
They had summoned their Pokémon to attack, but it was completely ineffective!
"UOHHHHHHH!!!"
The hand of Gundam GZAF produced an electric blade, slicing through the wall and pushing it down.
The wall collapsed, shattering into pieces.
"Is this the place?" Bob asked.
"No idea, let's keep looking," Fuki replied.
"Guys, someone's broadcasting a signal," Jun said, catching the attention of the trio.
"Who's calling?"
"No clue, but it's close. Seems to be coming from the casino's communication room. Hear that?"
"Hmm… Should we try contacting them?"
So Jun pressed a button, and a screen popped up in the corner.
"Hello, hello?"
"What?! Rey, is that you??"
"What?! Bob? How did you manage to contact me??"
"Well… We're inside a Gundam."
"Wow… Anyway, can you contact the outside?"
"No, this machine can only receive signals from the outside."
"…"
So this trip was for nothing? Are you kidding?
"Senpai, something's wrong," Rin, standing next to Rey, said while looking at the screen.
"What is it?"
"…Someone's trying to intercept our communication."
"What?!"
Suddenly, the screen flickered with heavy static, and a voice came through.
[Well, well… I didn't expect you kids to be this talented, but I'm afraid this is where it ends.]
Then, alarms blared continuously, giving them a bad feeling.
[We'll hunt you down. You've done well, so I'll have to do just as well.]
"…Rin, check outside."
Rin looked at the camera, only to see a horde of people in black suits and Pokémon.
Among them was Team Rocket!
"This is bad, Senpai… They've surrounded us."
"…This is getting intense."
Back with Fuki's group:
"Hey, Rey? What's going on?" Jun asked.
"The casino's communication room is useless now! We need to find a way out of here!"
"What?! We're winning, aren't we??" Lukas said in disbelief.
[Yup, only until now.]
They jumped, and the Gundam's head turned toward the source of the voice.
It was another robot, but much bulkier.
[Mecha fights Mecha, Pokémon fights Pokémon, and humans fight humans. That's what's fair.]
"Uh oh…" Fuki said, staring at the robot in front of them.
"May I ask… What's the name of your robot?"
[No, no, no, it's not a robot—it's a Mecha, and its name is Mecha Gear-69 Guilty.]
"That's an edgy name, huh?"
[I'll take that as a compliment!]
The Mecha charged forward, forcing the Gundam to retreat.
Its fist smashed into the wall, shattering it completely.
Gundam GZAF seized the moment, slashing at the Mecha's shoulder with its electric sword.
Clang!
"?!"
The electric sword had no effect on the Mecha!
Then, cannons emerged from the Mecha's arms, firing relentlessly.
"We're screwed!!" the group shouted.
Boom!!
The Gundam was pushed back, with part of its left shoulder damaged.
"This is bad! That Mecha's too strong!" Bob said.
"Let's run! We can't fight that thing!" Jun said to Fuki.
"Don't run yet! We still have Rey and Rin! We need to find them first!" Lukas insisted.
"But that monster in front of us won't let us do anything—it could crush us easily!" Fuki said, visibly worried.
"…"
Bob looked at the Mecha, then at Fuki and Jun.
'Heh, no other choice!'
"Lukas!"
"??"
"Let's show them what their seniors can do!"
Lukas looked at Bob in surprise.
The two exchanged glances and grinned.
"Hey? What's that supposed to mean??" Fuki asked, confused, looking at the two.
Bob pressed a button, and the cockpit opened, startling Jun and Fuki.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING??"
"I'll distract that jerk! You guys go find Rey and Rin!"
"Pachirisu's with you two now! Use it well!"
Both of them, along with their Pokémon, jumped out.
Alright, Jun and Fuki were genuinely impressed by the two.
"We won't let their efforts go to waste!"
The Mecha saw the two boys jump down, assuming they were surrendering, and was about to call for backup.
Suddenly, the Gundam took off, catching the Mecha off guard.
[Damn it! Playing the abandon-your-friends tactic, huh?! Stop right there!]
*Splat!*
[?!]
The Mecha wiped its visor, realizing it was mud.
"Hey! You think you're chasing someone else? Your opponent's right here!!" Lukas shouted like a kid.
"That's right! If you leave, I'll take that time to Bang with your mom!" Bob yelled.
[…You punks. Once I'm done with that Mecha, I'll deal with you next!]
As the Mecha turned to leave, vines suddenly wrapped around it, holding it back.
"I told you, you're not going anywhere!" Bob said as Bulbasaur strained to pull the Mecha back.
[You brats… YOU'RE GETTING ON MY NERVES!]
The Mecha unleashed a barrage of missiles toward them.
Bob and Lukas, along with their Pokémon, bolted, the missiles exploding behind them.
The Mecha also contacted others, calling them to deal with the two kids.
"Gible! Cocomelon! Lend me your strength!"
Gible! (Leave it to me!)
Gah! (Don't worry, Lukas!)
"Bulbasaur! If we die, we die like heroes!" Bob said to his Pokémon.
Bulbasaur... (But it's better if we don't die at all…)
The two trainers charged in with their Pokémon, fearless of life or death.
Meanwhile…
Rey and Rin were trying to find a way out.
"There are the brats!" A group of goons appeared, blocking their path.
"Cyndaquil! Ember!"
Cyndaquil shot small flames toward them.
"Cloyster, Hydro Pump!" one goon commanded. Cloyster gathered a massive amount of water.
Then it unleashed a high-pressure blast.
Ember was completely extinguished by Hydro Pump, which hit Cyndaquil directly, sending it flying.
"Cyndaquil!" Rey shouted, worried, seeing his Pokémon completely knocked out.
"Senpai! I'll hold them off!" Rin stepped in front of Rey, pulling out a Poké Ball to summon Koffing.
"Surrender! And our Boss might treat you nicely… maybe."
That didn't sound reassuring at all!
Just as Rey was cornered, a loud noise echoed repeatedly.
"What's that?" The goons were puzzled, as the sound didn't match their Mecha.
*CRASH!!!*
The wall shattered, revealing a robot with a damaged shoulder.
"WHAT?!?" Everyone who saw it stood with their mouths agape.
[Rey and Rin! Get in the cockpit now!!]
That voice!
"Tesla?! That Gundam looks cooler than I imagined!"
[No time for that! We have to escape, right now!!]
