Team Rocket's spies could be seen near the Akihabara Research Institute.
Compared to the Team Rocket members in the plaza earlier, these Team Rocket minions were clearly more powerful.
Pokémon like Rattata were scattered all around, constantly watching the plaza to prevent people from causing trouble at the institute.
Inside the institute
, a portly research doctor in a white lab coat gripped his research materials tightly, his eyes filled with rage.
All the researchers in the institute were collapsed on the ground, eyes closed, unconscious. The Pokémon within the research area were all incapacitated, except for one unusual Pokémon hovering in the air.
Its eyes looked somewhat vacant, its head was red, and its back was blue, making it seem as if it didn't belong to this world.
This portly research doctor was Dr. Akihabara,
one of the research doctors in the entire Kanto Region specializing in artificial Pokémon.
He was also the only research doctor to have created a completely new Pokémon using this technology.
Unexpectedly, before he could even transmit his research materials, Team Rocket showed up, trying to steal his research results.
Dr. Akihabara's face was ashen; his gaze never left Alakazam.
In the previous battle, Alakazam had defeated all the Pokémon in the entire research institute with a single move.
Team Rocket had quickly taken control of the entire institute, and even when he unleashed a massive explosion of all the Electro Balls within, they couldn't harm them.
Rumor had it that Team Rocket's executives were at least Elite Four level, but he hadn't taken them seriously. Now it seemed their opponents were definitely Elite Four level, and not just any Elite Four trainer!
This Alakazam would rank among the top even among Elite Four trainers.
"Team Rocket, what are you going to do with the materials I have?"
"Are you also going to conduct artificial Pokémon experiments?!"
Dr. Akihabara frowned, his expression suddenly changing as if he had realized something.
If that were the case, he would rather destroy the materials in his hands than let them fall into Team Rocket's hands.
These materials contained the results of his research over the past few years.
Once Team Rocket obtained them, it would only be a matter of time before they developed Porygon.
"Materials and people, I want them both. Don't underestimate yourself."
"I advise you to be sensible. Don't expect anyone from the League to come back and help you during this time."
A masked woman in front of him spoke coldly, startling Dr. Akihabara.
The fact that she dared to make such a statement meant that she was absolutely confident.
She didn't even care about the people from the League who came to help.
Dr. Akihabara frowned. It wasn't just the materials in his hands; they wanted him too?
Did Team Rocket really want to conduct related research?
Such research would be almost impossible to carry out without the League's approval.
Only lunatics like Team Rocket would dare to conduct such human rights-violating research projects.
Just as the woman in front of him said, given his current situation, stalling for time was virtually impossible.
That Alakazam alone was an insurmountable obstacle.
"Porygon, use Tri Attack!"
Dr. Akihabara gritted his teeth and shouted at the Porygon in the air.
Porygon's wise eyes emitted a white light, fire, lightning, and ice light swirling around it.
"Shut up!"
The woman waved her hand, a powerful psychic ability instantly controlling Dr. Akihabara.
Alakazam, gripping its ladle, flicked its wrist, sending Porygon flying backward. The Tri Attack it had unleashed was easily redirected, hurtling into the air.
"Don't waste your energy." "
A Pokémon weaker than even a Gym Leader. This Pokémon deserves a better place."
Porygon was indeed a researched Pokémon; its strength was questionable. Alakazam could easily defeat it with a simple use of psychic power.
Team Rocket members also took out a black Poké Ball and threw it towards Porygon.
Porygon transformed into a black light and entered the Poké Ball, being forcibly captured without any reaction.
All the valuable Pokémon in the entire research lab were captured by that black Poké Ball.
"A black Poké Ball."
"This is also a tool developed by your Team Rocket!"
Dr. Akihabara had never seen such an evil Pokémon before.
Weaker Pokémon could be forcibly captured by the Poké Ball before him.
Such a terrifying method of capture was unacceptable to Dr. Akihabara, who had always loved Pokémon.
"If you can't take the person, then forget it."
"The most important thing is what materials."
A cunning voice came from behind, and a somewhat short-looking trainer slowly walked out, his eyes fixed on the materials in Dr. Akihabara's arms.
His short stature belied his unusual cunning; without his cooperation, controlling the entire Macha City in a short time was unrealistic.
"You don't need to tell me that, Chakra."
The woman's face showed a hint of disgust.
If it weren't for the mission, she wouldn't want to talk to this short guy.
Without his help, she could easily take out all the researchers in the institute.
"Hmph!"
...
"Who?"
A Team Rocket member patrolling outside
suddenly sensed footsteps behind him.
Just as he turned around, a jet of water shot up, sending him flying.
The one who arrived was naturally Bai Yu himself.
"These opponents are still too weak."
"As expected, ordinary trainers can hardly withstand the Pokémon I have now."
These are just some Team Rocket nobodies, using common Pokémon.
Rattata, Spearow, etc., are only slightly stronger than those random trainers in the game.
But facing Mudkip's Hydro Pump, the two are not on the same level at all.
The commotion caused also brought many Team Rocket members over.
None of them were a match for Bai Yu's Mudkip.
After mastering Hydro Pump, Mudkip is only one level away from evolving into Swampert.
In reality, evolution is not about the so-called level, but about the so-called bond.
"Hydro Pump!"
Bai Yu pointed to the inner door of the research institute in front of him and said calmly.
Mudkip let out a low cry, and a terrifying stream of water quickly gathered.
It smashed the door in front of him, and a thick smoke dissipated. The Team Rocket members inside the research institute all turned their attention to Bai Yu.
All the data on Macha City was collected by Chakra, but this Pokémon that appeared in front of him was the first time he had seen it.
His mind raced, recalling Water-type trainers.
Aside from the Cerulean City Gym Leader, he couldn't think of any other renowned trainers.
"Who are you?!"
Chakra demanded, his fists clenched, barely managing to control the situation.
Suddenly, a troublemaker appeared.
The woman standing to the side stared intently at Bai Yu's figure; she herself hadn't expected him to appear in the research institute at this time.
She glanced at Alakazam beside her, sending a telepathic message to Alakazam.
Alakazam was slightly stunned; it turned to look at its trainer, surprised that its trainer would issue such a command.
