"Roar!!!"
"Quack!!!"
Charmeleon and Frogadier roared again, and their auras surged violently.
A burst of air waves exploded from their bodies as their strength surged, the external energy released into the surroundings.
The air wave rushed directly at Arbok Whirlwind, who was about to attack. No, it should be said that it blew him away.
"What! What's going on?!"
Arbok was sent flying directly to the side of the Team Rocket captain, and he stared at Charmeleon and Frogadier with disbelief.
Even a fool could see that Charmeleon and Frogadier's strength had surged to an extreme degree, far surpassing Arbok.
Name: Charmeleon
Level: Level 42 (Peak) (temporary)
······
Name: Frogadier
Level: Level 41 (Peak) (temporary)
"Although this power is temporary, it is indeed very powerful."
Eddie observed the momentum of Charmeleon and Frogadier. One of them was enough to crush Arbok, and now there were two.
"Charmeleon, Frogadier, take care of them."
Eddie's face remained calm. Having seen champion-level Pokémon in his previous life, the strength of the Peak level was no surprise to him. He was just impressed by the effectiveness of Viridian Power.
"Char!"
"Froga!"
Upon hearing this, Charmeleon and Frogadier quickly gathered their strength and charged forward with unstoppable momentum, like galloping horses.
Of course, Charmeleon and Frogadier weren't that strong yet, but to the Rocket Captain, they seemed nearly unstoppable. Fear set in as he began to panic, abandoning Arbok and his crew, and ran away. Seeing this, the Rocket member next to him also fled with his captain.
Even the furious Arbok, seemingly jolted back to reality, fled alongside his Trainer.
"You want to run away? Frogadier, stop them. Charmeleon, finish them off."
Eddie sneered, watching the captain run away in defeat. In the face of Peak Pokémon, if you wanted to escape, you needed a Pokémon of similar strength to lead the way. How far could he really get?
"Quack!"
Frogadier accelerated, having just charged a moment ago but not using any skills. Now, it unleashed [Aerial Ace], its agility allowing it to move swiftly in front of the captain.
"Don't block! Arbok, [Crunch]!"
The Team Rocket captain, now pale, immediately ordered Arbok to stop Frogadier.
At that moment, Arbok was positioned beside the captain. Seeing Frogadier in front of him, Arbok bared his sharp teeth and lunged to bite.
But Frogadier remained calm. As Arbok attacked, Frogadier's hands gathered energy and struck directly at Arbok's sharp teeth.
With a sound of cracking, Arbok howled in pain as its sharp teeth were shattered.
Taking advantage of the opening, Frogadier then slashed Arbok away. Due to Arbok's larger size, when it was knocked back, it took the captain of Team Rocket and the last member with it.
As they were sent flying, Charmeleon charged forward, flames engulfing its body.
"Bang!!!"
With a loud crash, everything fell silent. There were no more Growls on the battlefield, not even a cry from Arbok.
What was the reason? You guess.
"Ding! Confirmed: The opponent's Pokémon has lost its ability to fight. The battle is over, and the effect of Viridian Force has ended."
"Ding! Charmeleon's level has been restored to Lv22, and Frogadier's level has been restored to Lv21."
"Ding! Charmeleon and Frogadier defeated Arbok together, and the experience was evenly shared. Because the player used Viridian Force, the experience was halved."
"Ding! Charmeleon gained experience, level +3, and reached Lv25!"
"Ding! Frogadier gained experience, level +3, and reached Lv24!"
"Ding! Frogadier learned [Round]!"
"Ding! You defeated the Rocket Team Captain and obtained 3000 Pokedollars and the TM [Thunder Punch]!"
"Ding! You have completed the first stage of the long-term hidden quest: Help Mew escape the search team's pursuit (20/20)"
"Ding! Mew's favorability towards you is up, and you are given an Exp. Share and 2 Gold Bottle Cap as a reward."
Long-term hidden mission 'Smash the Rocket Team's Mewtwo Plan'
Phase 1: Help Mew get rid of the search team's tracking (20/20) - Completed
Phase 2: ? ? ? (Conditions have not yet been triggered)

"Oh my god, this reminder is a bit noisy, but this experience reduction... is it because they're afraid I'll level up too fast? Well, I didn't want to use it to level up anyway. This is a killer item—the cooldown time is 24 hours. Luckily I didn't use it earlier, or I'd be the one in trouble."
Eddie relaxed as the reminder sounded, but his focus shifted to the experience reduction. Without even thinking, he understood the game's intention.
"Mew~~~"
Mew behind him called happily and then took out an Exp. Share and 2 Gold Bottle Caps from somewhere, handing them to Eddie.
"Mew mew~~~"
Mew continued to chirp happily several times, clearly satisfied with Eddie. It patted his shoulder with one hand and clenched its fist with the other, as if cheering him on.
"Mew~"
After the final call, Mew used its Psychic abilities to fly off in an erratic, flash-like motion, disappearing instantly from Eddie's sight.
Eddie: "···"
