Chapter 59 Lt. Surge: Don't worry, Zapdos won't escape!
"As the Gym Leader of the League, he's actually a member of Team Rocket."
Lance never dreamed that the Gym Leader of Vermilion City would be a member of Team Rocket.
And the other party is at least at the Elite Four level. If the Elite Four hadn't been hiding their strength and not easily revealing their Champion level, they would have really been overwhelmed by those guys.
"Not only that, I feel that there should be Team Rocket members in the League Gyms as well."
Shiba crossed his arms, a hint of ruthlessness on his face.
He absolutely couldn't show mercy to those guys from Team Rocket.
This was also the trainer's way that Shiba had always followed.
"The Eight Gyms are forces below the Elite Four of the League. Among them, Blaine of Cinnabar City Gym is always on Cinnabar Island and hasn't participated in the Gym Leader Tournament for several years."
"I went to Cinnabar Island to look for him a while ago, but he wasn't there."
Lorelei was silent for a long time, and a strange change appeared on her icy face.
The League had long suspected Blaine, the trainer who had adventured with Agatha Christie. Blaine's strength was in no way inferior to Agatha's, but he returned to Cinnabar Island out of interest in scientific research, establishing the so-called Cinnabar Gym.
One or two absences wouldn't be a big deal.
However, Blaine was rarely on Cinnabar Island, and as the Gym Leader, the normal operation of the Gym was entrusted to an apprentice—this was simply absurd.
"I'll know about these things when I get there."
"After I leave, you continue handling Kanto affairs and tell that old geezer, the League Chairman."
"Don't just sit on the sidelines and watch the fight."
Lance's expression hardened, and the image of the short, middle-aged man with a small mustache and round-framed glasses flashed through his mind—that small tuft of hair.
Lance often teased him, but he knew the old man was quite powerful and seemed to control something.
However, relying solely on that one Pokémon to wipe out Team Rocket is nothing short of wishful thinking. Moreover, according to Lance's understanding, that old guy in the League Association, like those in other regions, simply uses forceful methods to control the organization, and at most, he can only do so once.
After all, the majesty of a first-tier god is not to be underestimated.
Lance finished speaking and rode his Dragonite away.
"These trainers... and these dead Pokémon, let Officer Jenny find a place to bury them," Lorelei said with some regret, looking at the Pokémon on the field.
As for the dead workers, Lorelei didn't care.
In her heart, Pokémon and nature were above all else, and she would never forgive trainers who disrupted the peace of nature.
"Indecisive."
"You're still the same as before. If you still insist on your current beliefs..."
"I still hope you leave the Elite Four as soon as possible. After all, our original intention in forming the Elite Four wasn't just to maintain peace in the Kanto region," Shiba said emphatically. "You need to understand that we'll be facing more than just Team Rocket!"
"I don't need you to explain that," Lorelei replied coldly. "At that time, I will naturally leave the Elite Four!"
"Hmph~ It's good that you understand that."
Shiba finished speaking and turned to leave. He didn't want to stay in such a dilapidated place for another minute.
"Team Rocket~ are ultimately just a bunch of sneaky rats~"
Inside the tunnel of the unmanned power plant,
Apollo and Lt. Surge appeared.
"Such a number of Voltballs, even Team Rocket would need to consume a lot of resources."
"That troublesome League, ruining my grand plan again!"
Apollo's eyes were gloomy. He had calculated everything but that the Kanto Elite Four all possessed Champion-level strength.
Currently, only Giovanni's strength reached Champion level.
The explosion inside the unmanned power plant could only be used once; the League would definitely be prepared next time.
This operation also failed to capture Zapdos, a double loss, maximizing the damage.
"Zapdos can't escape~" Lt. Surge remained silent for a long time before finally fixing his gaze on Apollo, his tone confident.
The unmanned power plant had attracted Zapdos because of its abundant electrical energy.
They arrived at the unmanned power plant before the League members.
Naturally, they saw Zapdos injured; all they needed to do was search for a nearby power plant where Zapdos would be hiding.
That Pokémon couldn't escape; it was meant for Lt. Surge, and it wouldn't run away.
...
Resort Island.
This farce quickly ended.
Everyone was discussing what that Pokémon was.
Many trainers even took pictures of it; just one picture caused a huge stir in the Pokédex, with countless trainers discussing its information.
Bai Yu wasn't too concerned about these things, focusing entirely on the game strategy.
Using TMs directly saved a lot of trouble, and Bai Yu also bought some TMs he needed, equipping them all on his Pokémon.
After all, each battle in the game rewarded him with a certain amount of money.
Money was never a problem in the game.
"We're almost at Sootopolis City."
"Only one more Gym to go. I wonder if Adam or Wallace will personally take the battle."
Bai Yu sat on Swampert.
Along the way, Bai Yu encountered many trainers, and as their strength increased,
the experience he gained also steadily increased. His Crestor climbed from level 42 to level 50, successfully evolving into Aggron.
Bai Yu's other Pokémon—Houndoom (level 52), Ferrothorn (level 52), Magneton (level 51), Swampert (level 51), and even the seemingly unremarkable Electabuzz—were fed experience by Bai Yu, reaching level 48 and successfully evolving into Electivire.
If Electabuzz hadn't been so weak initially, gaining experience with each battle, Bai Yu's other Pokémon would probably have reached level 55.
Given the system's nature, is it possible to bring any captured Pokémon out? While
the game may not seem impressive, it's actually several levels stronger than real-world trainers.
However, the battles are too monotonous; aside from issuing battle commands, random players rarely utilize tactics.
The only ones who can use tactics are the Gym Leaders of the Hoenn region.
Along the way, Bai Yu encountered members of Team Magma and Team Aqua.
Even in the game, these guys were just as restless.
"System, I want to know, did Kyogre and Groudon appear before or after I won the championship?" Bai Yu wasn't sure if this game was a one-life playthrough, or if there was only one generation, or a second, third, etc., storyline.
After all, there are so many Pokémon battle games over the years, and countless parody versions; who knows which version the system will choose?
"Please explore on your own, host."
"If you wish to bring out a legendary Pokémon, please prepare a Master Ball. Only a Master Ball is qualified to capture a legendary Pokémon!" Bai
Yu raised an eyebrow, a slight ripple of excitement stirring within him.
A Master Ball?
He had explored the game for so long and only obtained a few items to bring out.
He had even bought a few Ultra Balls, let alone a Master Ball; he had never even seen one.
"Ding~ A Master Ball in reality can also capture legendary Pokémon in the game. Please consider carefully."
Bai Yu naturally knew this, but Master Balls were not easy to obtain. Only two organizations in the entire Kanto region possessed Master Balls: Team Rocket and the cross-server company Silver Corporation, which had a Poké Ball research institute in Goldenrod City. Bai Yu knew that
legendary Pokémon were captured with Master Balls; ordinary red and white balls couldn't withstand their power. Ultra Balls were perfect for capturing Pokémon like the Three Legendary Beasts, but capturing legendary Pokémon required a Poké Ball higher than an Ultra Ball.
And above Ultra Balls was only the Master Ball.
Silver Corporation probably hadn't developed that kind of Poké Ball yet.
If they had, Team Rocket's helicopters would have already landed at Silver's skyscrapers to discuss Master Ball business.
