—------------------—
Champion Leon instantly recognized the Green-haired young lady, Team Rockets' Top Executive Platinum.
He had seen her before in Galar.
He didn't expect to meet her here today, but it was just as well.
"Champion Leon, save me quickly!"
Alder was pleasantly surprised; he had thought he was done for.
He had originally intended to go to Sector 5 to rescue Steven and May, but he unexpectedly encountered this Green-haired young lady on the way.
It was truly like turning a corner and finding love, so to speak.
Alder naturally started battling her, but he never expected, absolutely never expected, that he would be slaughtered like a pig.
He was easily defeated and then tied up with ropes by her.
It made Alder even doubt his own life; was his strength no longer Champion level?
Otherwise, how could he have lost so quickly?
"Don't worry, Senior Alder, I'm coming to save you now."
Champion Leon's expression became serious, Charizard and Dragapult appeared in front of him, and Dragapult instantly transformed into an afterimage, flying towards Alder.
But Sneasler seemed to have foreseen this, grabbing Alder and leaping several times to Akari's side.
Champion Leon's eyes narrowed slightly.
"No, Champion Leon, Senior Alder is my prey. It's rude of you to do that."
Akari slowly spoke to Champion Leon with a smile, her large, crescent-moon-like eyes very cute.
"I see." Champion Leon gazed at Akari.
"It seems I can only defeat you, Platinum."
Not being able to directly rescue Alder didn't really make a difference to Champion Leon, because he was very confident.
Platinum couldn't possibly be his opponent!
"Oh~ such serious eyes, Champion Leon is getting serious now." Akari's smile grew even brighter.
A flash of white light, and a Hisuian Samurott with a cold and sharp aura appeared in front of Akari.
Sneasler also walked to the side of Hisuian Samurott, grinning maliciously, staring at Charizard and Dragapult with ill intent.
"These two Pokémon... are Hisui forms?"
Champion Leon frowned slightly. He had seen the Pokémon that could be exchanged on the Team Rockets app before, so he could barely recognize these two Pokémon.
"That's right, that's right, I didn't expect Champion Leon to recognize them, so I don't need to introduce them further."
The Green-haired young lady tilted her head slightly, her smile exceptionally happy and bright.
"Also, I'm not Platinum. My name is Akari~"
"?" Champion Leon was startled. Akari?
"Well~ after I defeat you, Champion Leon, you can ask my father, Mammon."
"???"
Champion Leon was even more surprised, while the bound Alder was stunned.
Father... alive??
Alder subconsciously thought of this, holy cow!
Mammon! You truly deserve to die!!
Alder looked at this bright and beautiful Green-haired young lady, and her strength was actually so formidable. Did she actually walk down such an evil path?
No, no, I must have misunderstood... right?
"Although I don't know what you're talking about, young lady."
Champion Leon quickly adjusted his emotions, calmly looking at Akari and the two Pokémon in front of her.
"Are you saying you think you can defeat me?!"
Champion Leon never underestimated anyone, but he also wouldn't wrongly belittle himself.
Yes, he was no longer an invincible Champion.
The strong in this world were as numerous as carp crossing the river, especially in this new era, but he, Champion Leon, was still one of those standing at the pinnacle!
The people who could defeat him were still only two or three!
Because his name was Champion Leon!
"I'd like to try." Akari's smile grew even wider, her eyes curved like crescent moons: "After all, Champion Leon, your merit points are very high~"
As expected, I'm also a target for hunting.
Champion Leon understood upon hearing this, not knowing whether to be angry or to laugh. This girl was surprisingly arrogant!
"Then let me see where your confidence comes from!"
Champion Leon raised his Key Stone, and the light of Mega Evolution shone brightly.
Charizard roared, and the Mega Evolution Stone on its body resonated in sync.
In the blink of an eye, a Charizard Y with a more slender physique spread its wings and flew up, its majestic and fiery eyes looking down below.
A second small sun seemed to appear in the sky, and boiling sunlight shone down, making people feel parched.
This was Mega Charizard Y's ability, Drought!
It changes the weather to Sunny Day, which boosts the power of Fire-type moves and weakens Water-type moves.
This was also Mega Charizard Y's most powerful aspect; it came with its own weather ability! Combined with its powerful Special Attack.
Mega Charizard Y was one of the strongest artillery pieces among Fire-type Pokémon!
And it wasn't a fixed artillery piece; it could fly, and its speed was decent.
This was also one of the reasons why Champion Leon ultimately chose Mega Charizard Y as his commonly used Mega Evolution.
Although Mega Charizard X had more balanced attributes and abilities, with almost no flaws.
But in Champion Leon's opinion, compared to Mega Charizard Y, Mega Charizard X still lacked some absolute strong points.
While Mega Charizard Y was indeed quadruply weak to Rock, Mega Charizard Y's strengths were clearly visible: Drought, powerful Special Attack, capable of perfectly unleashing its own Fire-type attacks.
Hmm, it would be even better if it could learn Fire Blast.
Unfortunately, Charizard couldn't learn Fire Blast, but Blastoise could learn Hydro Pump, which was Champion Leon's biggest regret.
But it didn't matter. Although Charizard couldn't learn Fire Blast, it could learn almost all powerful Fire-type moves other than Fire Blast.
Moreover, Charizard could also learn Blast Burn!
Although this move caused the user to become immobile, when used in special circumstances, it was also a decisive killing move for a comeback.
"Young lady! You are now facing Champion Leon of the Galar region!"
Champion Leon waved his arm handsomely, his cape rustling, full of vigor and pride!
"Ah~! I also hope Champion Leon can give me more surprises. Please don't fall over at a touch like Champion Alder."
Akari's eyes also gradually became excited.
Alder: (⊙︵⊙)
..."I got a Pokemon~ whether in fire, water, grass, or forest..."
Selene hummed a little tune as she skipped towards the Silph Co. Building.
She was in a very good mood at the moment, having captured Steven and May, she had suddenly gained 50,000 merit points!
Behind Selene, the bound Steven and May were carried on Melmetal's shoulders, one on each side, looking very helpless.
"Mammon, Mammon, am I first on the merit list now?"
Selene asked Mammon with a cheerful grin through her headset.
"Barely first, Platinum is tied for first with you." Mammon replied.
Blue + 20,000, Alder + 20,000, Green + 10,000 (shared with Karen), so Platinum also had 50,000 merit points at this moment.
"Huh?"
Selene was stunned to hear this. Was Platinum that amazing?
It seemed she needed to act faster.
Selene pondered this. Uncle Giovanni, Lance, and Champion Leon were the toughest nuts to crack, unless others wore down their combat power.
Otherwise, Selene knew that with her current strength, it would still be very difficult to capture the three of them.
Especially Uncle Giovanni, who was already a Top Champion and also had Groudon with him. Who could take him down?
Although capturing Uncle Giovanni would be a huge windfall, the difficulty was a bit too great.
Arriving at the first floor of the Silph Co. Building, Selene saw several tied-up League Trainers as soon as she entered the door.
Lorelei and Green were tied to chairs with their hands and feet bound, Brandon was tied to a pillar, and Barry and Hau were hung up.
"Miss Selene, you're here."
Colress, who was guarding the first floor, greeted Selene politely as she walked over.
"Ah~ Colress, aren't you going out to play?"
"I've already captured Elite Lorelei; a bit of merit is enough." Colress replied with a smile. He wasn't that interested in earning merit to exchange for Legendary Pokemon.
"So I applied to the boss to be a guard, to prevent these Champions from escaping, and the boss agreed."
"Oh, oh, oh~ okay."
Selene nodded. She wasn't surprised; Colress was only interested in research, that's just how he was.
Then... "Hahaha Hau, you're so lame"
Selene chuckled uncontrollably, looking at Hau hanging from the ceiling.
Hau: (⊙﹏⊙)
"I told you to join Team Rockets, but you refused, tsk~"
"My grandpa wouldn't let me..."
Hau was on the verge of tears. Didn't he want to? He was afraid of being hung up and beaten by Hala.
"Those old fogeys are like that, forget it, Melmetal, hang them both up too."
Selene shrugged and called out to Melmetal.
"Wait! Eh? No, don't! I'm a beautiful young lady! Mammon and I know each other, so at least give me some preferential treatment!"
May's pretty face changed, especially after seeing Barry and Hau's appearance, and she quickly said to Selene.
Being hung up and all, she didn't want that!
"Emmm..." Selene blinked and looked May up and down for a while.
"Alright, then I'll tie you to a chair. As for Champion Steven, tie him to a pillar too."
Steven was tied to a pillar, looking at Brandon opposite him, and couldn't help but sigh.
May, on the other hand, was tied to a chair, sitting in a row with Lorelei and Green. The three women looked at each other, Lorelei with a calm expression, Green with an awkward smile, and May turned her head away.
How to put it, it was quite embarrassing.
"Strange, why isn't Wallace here?"
Steven's gaze swept around, and he asked, puzzled.
Bro, where's Wallace??
I've been captured, but I haven't seen Wallace. Could it be that Wallace hasn't been captured yet?
Steven's body trembled, no way? A bad premonition arose in Steven's heart.
The elevator landed and opened, and Silver walked out. Upon seeing so many League Trainers outside, Silver was stunned for a moment.
"Yin!"
"Sister Green."
Silver walked to Green's side. Seeing his sister tied up, Silver's expression was a bit subtle.
"Sister Green, I've already talked to my brother and agreed to join Team Rockets. Do you want to..."
"I'll join too!"
Green said impatiently, damn it, when had she ever suffered such torment?
She, a beautiful young lady, was tied to a chair like a criminal.
"Hey, hey, hey? No, are you two just 'betraying' us like that?"
May watched dumbfounded as Silver untied Green.
Lorelei was pensive, but upon thinking of her own identity, Lorelei silently sighed in her heart, turning her head away to avoid seeing it.
"What betrayal? What betrayal? That sounds so bad. We call this abandoning the darkness and embracing the light! And Silver's brother is the Team Rockets boss, so how can this be called betrayal?"
Green, now untied, replied righteously.
"But Champion Giovanni is his father, right?" May was shocked.
"That's right, so what if Silver chooses righteousness over family?" Green was self-righteous, her voice very loud.
"Huh?" May's mouth hung open.
Lorelei, Steven, Brandon, Hau, and others all looked over, their expressions dazed and shocked.
Even Colress, who was reading a newspaper, now cast a subtle glance.
"Hehe~ Anyway, everyone, take your time sitting there, I'm leaving now."
Green was very thick-skinned, waving goodbye to May and the others with a grin.
Silver and Green disappeared at the door, and the first floor once again fell into a quiet atmosphere.
May fell into thought.
A few minutes later, a weak girlish voice sounded.
"Senior Steven, do you think it's still not too late for me to join Team Rockets now?"
