"You're the Matori Matrix!?"
Natsui said, glancing back at Looker. Seeing him nod gently, he knew the situation had become much more difficult.
"Using rocket launchers... you really don't play by the rules."
"We're the bad guys. Completing the mission is our top priority," Gozu said with his arms crossed, smiling at Looker. "But I really didn't expect you to be hiding here. We were originally just tailing those two idiots to see what they were sneaking around for. I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise!"
"Hey! You! Who are you calling idiots!?" From behind, James and Jessie, with Meowth and their Pokémon, scrambled out of the warehouse, just in time to hear that remark.
Both of them looked incredibly disheveled at that moment; not only were they soaking wet, but much of their hair was also singed.
Following them, Kirlia, Charmander, and Squirtle also rushed out of the warehouse in pursuit.
Jessie then pointed at Gozu and shouted, "Ah! I remember you! You're that underling of the woman with the watermelon-rind glasses, aren't you? How dare you follow us!"
"Watermelon-rind glasses!?" Gozu's face darkened. "You've got some nerve, calling Miss Matori that."
"Cut the crap!" Jessie yelled. "This person is our target, you can't interfere!"
"Oh? Your target?" Gozu's gaze lingered on Natsui's mask for a long moment before it dawned on him. "I see, so he's Natsui. This is perfect. Since both of them are here together, it saves us the time of looking for them. We can catch them all in one go!"
"What did you say?" James said in disbelief. "You dare defy the Boss's orders and steal our prey!?"
"You fool." Gozu took out a Poké Ball and threw it to the ground. "As long as the job gets done, the Boss won't care who completed the mission! Go, Aggron!"
A flash of blue light, and a large Pokémon with three sharp horns on its head, a massive steel-like tail, and its entire body covered in hard armor appeared on the field.
As soon as Aggron appeared, it roared towards the sky, letting out a deafening bellow!
And the remaining four members of the Matori Matrix also sent out their own Pokémon one by one.
"Come on out, Toxicroak!"
"Purugly! Appear!"
"It's up to you, Skuntank!"
"Crush them, Rhyperior!"
As all five Pokémon entered the field, they approached step by step, surrounding Natsui and Looker.
Flee or fight?
With just a moment of thought, Natsui instantly made his decision. Without holding back, he released all of his Pokémon at once.
Flashes of blue light appeared one by one, and when Zapdos and Gyarados appeared simultaneously, their presence was in no way inferior to that of the Matori Matrix members!
Gyarados let out a long roar to the sky, its red eyes staring deadly at the Aggron before it!
"Zapdos!?" Looker shouted in surprise, and he wasn't the only one; even Jessie and James jumped in shock.
The two of them, although they had received orders to eliminate Natsui, were never told by that wretched woman Matori that Natsui was hiding a Legendary Pokémon like this!
"That damn woman with the watermelon-rind glasses! She's the worst!"
Jessie cursed. In fact, within Team Rocket, many people knew she and Matori did not get along and had disliked each other for a long time.
Seeing this, James asked in a low voice, "What do we do now?"
"We absolutely cannot let those guys get their way!" Jessie said through gritted teeth. "If they actually complete the mission, we'll be completely useless to the Boss from now on, and we'll never be able to hold our heads high in front of that woman again!"
"Huh? You're going to stop them? Is that a good idea?" James hesitated. "No matter what, they're part of Team Rocket, just like us. If the Boss finds out, he'll never forgive us."
"You idiot, who said anything about fighting them?" Meowth said slyly. "We're just following orders. It's just that in the process of dealing with that kid, we might accidentally get them involved!"
Jessie's and James's eyes lit up. "You're a genius, Meowth! You really are the most wicked of us all!"
After making their decision, the trio flashed and disappeared from sight.
At this point, the many Pokémon on the field were already in a chaotic brawl. Seeing their master being surrounded, Kirlia, Charmander, and Squirtle could no longer be bothered with the Team Rocket trio and leaped into the fray.
Gyarados charged directly at Aggron, Toxicroak took on Ivysaur, Purugly used its speed advantage to constantly harass Charmander, and Skuntank attacked Jolteon. As for Rhyperior, it was fighting two-on-one, taking on Squirtle and Kirlia simultaneously!
As for Zapdos, it was tied down by the five agents' firearms, unable to break free for the moment.
With Haunter as a backup in the shadows, Natsui wasn't panicked at all and calmly commanded, "Kirlia, you go deal with Toxicroak. Ivysaur, you and Squirtle take on Rhyperior together. Jolteon, stop tangling with Skuntank and go after Purugly. As for Charmander, I need you to hold off Skuntank for now!"
This rearrangement of matchups gradually brought order to the complex situation, and in terms of Pokémon types, even if they didn't have a suppressive advantage, they at least wouldn't be countered by their enemies.
Taking a moment, Natsui glanced at Gyarados and Aggron. Biting, roaring, both Pokémon had gone berserk, and without any commands, their only thought was to tear their opponent to shreds!
However, Gyarados had only just evolved and lacked experience, appearing a bit naive and clearly at a disadvantage. Without outside intervention, its defeat was only a matter of time.
Looking at it now, it was no wonder Looker had ended up in such a state. The Pokémon of the Matori Matrix were indeed not something he could handle.
Just then, with the whistle of a train, a freight train puffing thick smoke approached from the distance.
Knowing this was his chance, Natsui said softly, "Haunter, I'm leaving Mr. Looker to you!"
"I understand," Haunter chuckled sinisterly, emerging from Natsui's shadow and flying into Looker's. Then, Looker was seen gently floating up, flying towards a train car, and landing steadily on top of it.
Over there, Gozu had been watching the situation closely. Seeing Looker get on the train, he grew anxious.
"Damn it! He's getting away!"
The members of the Matori Matrix were shocked. Just as they were about to abandon Zapdos and rush towards the train, their vision suddenly went dark, and then, a giant Meowth-shaped robot jumped in front of them!
