"Gio... Giovanni!!?"
Everyone was shocked, their nerves instantly tensing as they assumed battle stances.
"What's going on?" Natsui whispered to Looker. "Why is he here? Weren't you certain he was at the Viridian Gym and had sent Bruno and Lorelei to deal with him?"
Looker hesitated, "I'm not sure about that either. Giovanni's whereabouts have always been unpredictable. Perhaps Bruno and Lorelei came up empty! But since he's appeared here, it saves us a lot of trouble. We can arrest him directly!"
Behind Giovanni stood the four Team Rocket Executives: Archer, Ariana, Petrel, and Proton.
Despite being in a difficult situation, not a single one of them showed any sign of panic.
Looker took a few steps forward, looking directly at Giovanni, "Giovanni! You are suspected of kidnapping, destruction of property, and multiple cases of terrorism. According to international law, I am now formally placing you under arrest!"
Giovanni glanced at him and said flatly, "It was only a matter of time before this base was exposed. I'm not surprised you found this place. It's just that your speed was indeed a few years faster than I anticipated. It seems you International Police officers aren't a complete bunch of useless wastes after all."
"Spare us the commentary!" Looker said in a low voice. "The fall of Team Rocket is inevitable! Now that it's come to this, are you going to surrender? Or are you planning to continue your futile resistance?"
Hearing this, Giovanni slowly stood up from the sofa.
"Just because you've taken one of my bases, you don't actually think you've already won, do you?"
"What do you mean by that?" Looker pointed behind him. "With so many people mobilized today, and with Mr. Lance and Ms. Agatha present, do you still think you can escape?"
Looking at Giovanni, Lance's expression was tinged with sorrow, "Mr. Giovanni, I once thought you were an upstanding man. It seems I was truly mistaken about you."
"Young Giovanni..." Agatha also sighed. "Even though we've known each other for many years, I never would have thought you were hiding an identity like this!"
"Humans are often deceived by the surface they perceive, unable to see the essence of things. When have any of you ever understood the real me?" Giovanni's tone was, like his personality, calm and ruthless.
"Cut the crap!" Looker barked. "Giovanni! The strongest trainers and Pokémon in the Kanto region are all here today. If you know what's good for you, you'll surrender at once!"
"The strongest?" Giovanni let out a cold smirk. "What a joke. A group of ignorant people, truly overestimating your own abilities. Today, I will let you witness what the strongest Pokémon truly is!"
As Giovanni's voice fell, a thin red light suddenly lit up in a dark corridor behind him!
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, a peculiar Pokémon clad in armor and a helmet slowly flew out from the darkness using psychic power.
It was a humanoid Pokémon. Because most of its body was covered, its specific appearance was unclear. All that could be seen were two silver-white, cat-like feet and a thick, purple tail.
"What is that Pokémon!?"
Everyone gasped in amazement. Even the worldly-wise Lance and Agatha looked astonished.
Only Natsui, upon seeing this Pokémon, showed no sign of surprise.
At this point in time, it's still under Giovanni's control, just as I thought!
"You think you can stop us with just one Pokémon?" Looker waved a hand forward, sending out his Croagunk and Growlithe.
The two Pokémon leaped forward and opened their mouths simultaneously. Countless poison needles and a stream of fire shot directly at the armored Pokémon!
However, just as the two attacks were about to reach it, the armored Pokémon raised its arm. In the next second, the poison needles and flames were encased in two spheres of blue light, frozen in mid-air!
And with a gentle push of its arm, the two blue spheres continued forward, striking Croagunk and Growlithe and slamming them hard against the back wall!
Bang! Bang!
After two loud thuds, the two Pokémon fell to the ground.
Everyone was stunned!
Defeating two Pokémon so easily with a single blow—after displaying such incredible power, no one dared to underestimate this armored Pokémon anymore!
Lance nodded to the Dragonite beside him, and Agatha sent out her Gengar. The two Pokémon, one on the left and one on the right, attacked the armored Pokémon from two sides!
A Shadow Ball condensed in Gengar's claws and was then thrown at the armored Pokémon. At the same time, Dragonite flapped its wings and charged towards it.
But just as the moves were about to make contact, the armored Pokémon's figure suddenly vanished. When it reappeared, it stretched out both its hands, and Dragonite and Gengar were similarly enveloped in blue light and slammed heavily onto the ground.
"It really is powerful!" Nanu sighed and said to the others, "Let's not just stand around, let's all attack together!"
Erika and Sabrina nodded in unison, commanding their own Pokémon. Once Looker's Croagunk and Growlithe got back up, everyone sent out their respective Pokémon and joined the siege.
But as the number of Pokémon increased, moves flew chaotically, and for a moment, the entire fourth basement level began to shake slightly.
Haunter was about to go forward, but seeing Natsui's calm expression, it couldn't help but scratch its head and ask, "Eh? Aren't you going to let me help too?"
Natsui hesitated for a moment.
Help is necessary, of course, but Giovanni and the four executives behind him are just watching the show. They haven't taken the opportunity to escape or send out any other Pokémon to join the fight.
Is it because they have absolute confidence in Mewtwo's power?
Just as Natsui was thinking, a strange, neutral voice suddenly echoed in the depths of his mind.
'You know my name is Mewtwo? Do you know me?'
Whose voice was that?
Natsui was stunned at first, then he realized that someone must be communicating with him via telepathy!
And from the tone of the question, it was undoubtedly Mewtwo. But when Natsui looked up at it, he saw Mewtwo was still in the middle of the battle, seemingly not paying any attention to him.
'You really do know my name. Who are you?'
But before Natsui could answer in his mind, he suddenly felt a jolt in his heart. Then, his memories began to rapidly rewind in his mind, as if someone was reading and reviewing his entire life!
This is bad!!
"Kirlia!!!"
Natsui suddenly shouted, startling Erika, Sabrina, and even Haunter beside him. But he had no time to worry about anything else, as he struggled to extend a hand towards Kirlia!
Kirlia immediately sensed the urgency of the situation. It used Teleport to appear by Natsui's side, stretched out its hands, which were enveloped in psychic power, and tightly gripped his large hand!
