—------------------—
Nimbasa City, a city known as the "shining city of lightning," is very prosperous. It is worth mentioning that, according to incomplete statistics, the population of Nimbasa City ranks third in the world, second only to Kalos and Galar. This shows how popular Nimbasa City is.
Moreover, unlike Castelia City, which is also a metropolis filled with a highly tense working atmosphere, Nimbasa City is known as an entertainment city, and the whole city has a very leisurely vibe. Mammon and others have now arrived in Nimbasa City, or more accurately, the suburbs of Nimbasa City.
"Mr. Mammon, is Team Plasma really here?" Lacey asked Mammon with some nervousness and anticipation.
"Yes, according to our intelligence, this is where one of Team Plasma's bases is located, and it's quite large." Mammon nodded, then glanced at Lacey and the others. This time, he specifically brought these students from Blueberry Academy to destroy the Team Plasma base.
It is worth mentioning that with Lacey's help, most of the high-ranking students at Blueberry Academy joined his company and signed contracts with him. Lacey, who is both serious and cute, is very popular at Blueberry Academy. Even the current Elite Four and Champion of the Blueberry League have all joined.
Mammon was naturally very happy about this. After all, these students were young boys and girls with great potential.
"In that case, there's no need to wait, Mr. Mammon. Let's just attack directly." The speaker was a young man with white hair, a handsome face, and loose and elegant clothes. He is Drayton, the current Champion of the Blueberry League, and his specialty is the Dragon attribute.
If Kieran is the one Mammon values most at Blueberry Academy, then the second is Drayton. Because Drayton's current strength has reached the King-level combat power, there is no doubt that Drayton has the talent to reach the Champion level, but it is unknown whether he can break through this limitation. After all, there are many Elite-level Trainers who are stuck at the Elite level their entire lives and unable to break through.
"No!" Obviously, Drayton's proposal was met with resistance from Lacey. She crossed her hands in front of her body and made her signature pose.
"I don't think this is a good idea, Drayton. Isn't this really too reckless?" Lacey still treated this operation very seriously. After all, they were here to wipe out an evil organization!
Drayton scratched his head in some confusion. Although he was good at Dragon attributes, his personality was not very strong.
"Don't you want to listen to Mr. Mammon's plan? Mr. Mammon is our leader, right?" Crispin with short red hair spoke innocently. He is also one of the Elite Four of the Blueberry League and is good at Fire attributes.
"Mr. Mammon, what do you think we should do?" Lacey asked Mammon.
"Attack directly without giving the enemy a chance to react. This time, we're mainly giving you a taste of the atmosphere of your first operational mission." Mammon said with a smile. "Just do it, I'll be watching over you from behind."
Mammon felt that this operation would not be dangerous. After all, although Drayton and his team were from the academic school, the League Society was mainly focused on cultivating combat capabilities. Drayton and the others earned their rankings through fighting, and their combat proficiency is unquestionable.
"Look, I told you." Drayton spread his hands, looked at the warehouse in front of him, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up. The evil organization Team Plasma, how interesting!
"But you must be careful. Members of the evil organization are different from your usual regular battles. You must always remain vigilant and observe your surroundings, and be careful of the other party using despicable means to attack you." Mammon reminded emphatically.
"Also, if you encounter a cadre-level opponent, don't try to be too brave. Call on your teammates to fight together, okay? This isn't a competition, it's a mission! Ensure your own safety first, then complete the mission."
"Yes!" Lacey and others responded solemnly.
"Okay, go ahead, I'll pick you up from behind." Mammon nodded, signaling Drayton and others that they could set off.
Then, these Blueberry Academy students, more than thirty people in total, headed toward the warehouse. However, as soon as they arrived at the warehouse door, the group was stumped.
"Um, should we knock on the door?" Kieran, who was following behind Drayton, said softly. That's right, Kieran also came, but Carmine didn't. This was also the first time he was separated from his sister. He still contacted Mammon, and then Mammon arranged for him to participate in this operation, allowing him to experience the atmosphere without his sister around.
"Kieran, we are here to fight against the evil ones. Why should we be polite to them?" Drayton couldn't help but roll his eyes. He had a good relationship with Kieran.
"Archaludon!" Drayton grinned and opened the Poké Ball in his hand. A Pokémon made entirely of aluminum steel landed heavily in front of Drayton. It was the Archaludon that evolved from Duraludon. It is also Drayton's ace Pokémon.
"Archaludon, Flash Cannon!"
"Wait! Drayton!" Lacey and others were very surprised. But it was obvious that Archaludon obeyed Drayton. Upon hearing Drayton's command, a metallic energy sphere condensed in front of the Archaludon, and then shot heavily toward the iron gate.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the door was directly blown open by the cannon, and the smoke and dust gradually dispersed.
"Drayton, you are too impulsive." Amarys frowned.
"Really? You guys are so conservative. Mr. Mammon also said that we can do whatever we want." Drayton shrugged. Did they have to knock on the door? "We can't give them a chance to escape. In this case, directly brute force is the best way. Look, aren't they coming out now?"
Drayton pointed inside the warehouse, where several people wearing Team Plasma uniforms were running out.
"Damn it! Our gate!"
"Who are you?!"
"Come and run wild in Team Plasma's territory! Are you trying to kill yourself?"
"Hand over all your Pokémon! Otherwise, we will be ruthless!"
Seeing Lacey and a group of young boys and girls, the members of Team Plasma obviously looked down on them. These Team Plasma members also released Pokémon such as Golbat, Liepard, and Bisharp, and there were quite a few of them. However, in terms of numbers, it is obvious that the Blueberry Academy faction is not inferior at all.
"Ahhhh~" Hearing these words, Drayton couldn't help but take out another Poké Ball, and a strong Salamence appeared in front of him. "Although I've always heard of Team Plasma, this is the first time I've seen them. So there really are people who steal other people's Pokémon?"
"Hehe! Such an evil person!" Lacey solemnly opened the Poké Ball, and the Milotic and the Excadrill appeared in front of him.
"We can be considered doing a good deed by doing this, right? I quite like this kind of work." Crispin also took out his ace Blaziken.
"Speaking of which, merit points are calculated based on our battle record, right? Lacey, could you guys please stop trying to steal my kills?" Drayton suddenly discovered a blind spot, and after a moment of hesitation, he discussed it with Lacey and others. "I really want to exchange it for a Bagon, but it requires a lot of merit points..."
"No! Drayton! You are too selfish. I also want a Ralts!" Lacey refused without hesitation. "And we're still on a mission. You're really being lazy!"
"Alright, alright." Drayton raised his hands in a feign of surrender. "But with an opponent like that, in our school, he probably wouldn't even make it into the top 50, right?" Drayton took a few glances at the Pokémon of Team Plasma and couldn't help but smack his lips.
This contemptuous attitude obviously made the members of Team Plasma extremely unhappy.
"Damn it! You stinky boys!"
"How arrogant! We are Team Plasma!"
"Today, uncle will definitely beat you arrogant little guys to tears!"
As soon as the Team Plasma members finished their harsh words, the two sides immediately started a fierce battle, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.
"Mammon, did you do this on purpose?" Looking at the almost one-sided battle in the warehouse, there was no doubt that these ordinary Team Plasma members were no match for Drayton and the others. But as I said at the beginning, this is a medium to large base of considerable size!
Now these Team Plasma members are just gatekeepers; the real Team Plasma elite members are still inside. And most importantly, there is a Team Plasma cadre in this base.
"It's a side effect. The main purpose is that person." Mammon did not deny it, but took a sip of juice with a relaxed look.
"Mammon-mammon~ I want to drink too." Jirachi sat on Mammon's shoulders, pulling Mammon's hair and acting coquettishly toward him.
"Here~ This bayberry juice is really good." Mammon took out a bottle from his space backpack. He actually doesn't like drinking very much, but he has a special liking for various fruit juices.
"It tastes so good~" Jirachi opened the bottle cap very skillfully, and after taking a sip, his two big eyes narrowed into crescents. Seeing the cute look of the wishing star, Mammon couldn't help but smile. This star head is really cute.
And now inside the Team Plasma base.
"Tsk~ The members here are much stronger." Drayton narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the Seviper and Krokorok opposite him. He could clearly feel the gap in level between the Team Plasma members inside and those in the warehouse after entering this base. But for me, there is not much difference, but it is different for other students.
And now in Nimbasa City.
"Master Elesa!" A police officer contacted the tall beauty who was shopping.
"What's wrong, Miss Jenny?" Elesa replied in confusion.
"Well, there's a large warehouse on the western outskirts of the city. Someone reported that a fight was taking place there, and they saw Team Plasma members escaping from the warehouse. Could you please go there?"
"Team Plasma? I see. I'll be there now." Elesa narrowed her beautiful eyes slowly, and then replied decisively.
"Excuse me, we have already sent police officers over, and they will meet up with you." Miss Jenny spoke very quickly.
"This glittering city doesn't need a dark organization like Team Plasma to stand out. I'll electrocute them all." Elesa spoke softly, put on her golden coat, and walked out of the store with her long legs. Nimbasa City is her city! And in this shining, glorious city, there's no need for a cult like Team Plasma!
Inside Team Plasma's base.
"What's going on outside?" The blond young man, wearing a windbreaker like a researcher's white coat, frowned and walked out of the laboratory with a not very pleasant tone. He was doing an experiment, but the noise outside made it impossible for him to concentrate. The laboratory has very good sound insulation, but even so, it still cannot completely isolate the noise from outside, which shows how noisy it is outside.
"My apologies, Lord Colress. A group of men have invaded the base." One of Team Plasma's men apologized.
"What?" Colress's handsome face was frowned. This base was specially used for his research and is very hidden. How could it be discovered?
"Is it someone from the Unova League?"
"No, it doesn't seem like it. From what they said, it seems like he's a temporary worker for Arcues Culture and Entertainment Co., Ltd..."
"???"
Three big question marks appeared on Colress's handsome face. What the heck?
"Have you reported this to Ghetsis?" But Colress being Colress, he quickly disregarded the infuriating company name and asked his subordinate.
"I've reported this to Sage Ghetsis. He said he's sent someone to pick you up and asked you to make preparations in advance."
"That's good." Colress regained his calm expression. He did not want to get involved in the dispute between Team Plasma and other forces. He is just a scientist, and he only wants to be a scientist. Team Plasma and Ghetsis are willing to accept him and give him room to develop, so he stayed in Team Plasma, that's all.
Although in fact, Colress is a very strong Trainer, Colress has always claimed to be a scientist, and he doesn't like to fight with others. Of course, unless there is really no other way, or he is interested in the other person, or just wants to do an experiment.
"It seems you are the leader of this base, right?" Drayton's lazy voice reached Colress's ears. Colress turned around and looked at the young boy opposite him.
"I'm just a researcher. If you want to fight me, it's not appropriate." Colress replied calmly.
"No, no, no, you seem to be in a very high position. You should be a cadre, right? If I capture you, you will have great achievements. For the sake of my precious dragon, I have to let you down, Mr. Researcher."
"???"
Colress raised a question mark again. No, why couldn't he understand what the other party said? What feat? What precious dragon? And speaking of which, these people are part-time workers for the same company? What company's part-time Trainers are so wild? They directly broke into Team Plasma's base?
