There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

Tick-tick-tick-

The humid air in the cave clung to the boy like a thin film as he took small steps forward, holding onto the cold stone wall.

He was breathing slightly, his whole face was flushed, and his limbs were trembling slightly.

Shuo Gu Ye didn't know how long he had been walking, but he couldn't hold on any longer. He turned around, leaned against the stone wall, and slowly slid down, breathing rapidly.

The temperature of the cold stone wall seeped through his outer clothes into his skin, blood vessels, bones and flesh. He shivered uncontrollably, but he didn't have the strength to stand up from the stone wall.

No, this is very wrong.

Shuoya Ye could feel something driving him away, yet calling him.

The pendant hidden under his coat flickered and glowed like a metronome with precise rhythm, hammering on the boy's fragile brain nerves again and again, causing the pain that had almost become numb to come back again.

A pair of chubby dark purple hands stretched out tentatively from the shadow between Shuoya Ye and the stone wall, waving hesitantly.

But soon it discovered that the boy seemed to be getting more and more uncomfortable, and he let out an unmistakable groan from his clenched teeth.

Unable to bear watching this scene, the chubby hand stretched forward a little, and was about to touch the corner of the boy's clothes.

"Who?!"

The young man suddenly raised his eyes. The dullness due to the pain did not affect the sharpness in his eyes at all. He looked straight into the dark passage ahead.

The dark purple little hand paused, then disappeared into the shadows again.

"come out!"

Shuo Gu Ye's ears moved slightly. The original rustling sound disappeared after he asked the question, which further confirmed the fact that someone else had intruded here.

"Little devil, you are so arrogant."

Two blurry figures walked slowly in the darkness, and finally stopped at the only light source in the cave, which was illuminated by Shuo Guye's flashlight.

The woman in black with night vision goggles raised her head and looked at the weak boy lying next to the stone wall, as if he would break at the slightest touch. She sighed and said, "Didn't the Pokémon League seal this place off? How did a sickly person like you get in?"

Shuoya Ye frowned, took two Poké Balls from his side and held them in his hands, without responding.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense to him?" the man next to the woman said in a deep voice, "Do you remember the mission that Boss gave us?"

"Kill all the people in this cave, leaving no one alive." The woman rolled her eyes and threw a Poké Ball in boredom. "Can't you even be curious? You're so rigid."

When Shuoya Ye saw the "R" symbol painted in red on the chest of their clothes, his heart sank.

Rockets...

Them again?

Judging from what the two people revealed between the lines, it seems that Team Rocket not only knows where their group is going, but they are also aware of the Pokémon League's secret blockade of the Great Sand Valley.

and...

Shuo Gu Ye looked up with great effort at the woman's shoulder-length hair. The murderous intent in her eyes was revealed without any concealment.

The reason why the two of them talked about these things in front of him unscrupulously was that they believed that even if they knew that their actions had been exposed, they would not be able to take corresponding measures to inform the Pokémon League.

Because, they really will kill everyone they meet as they say!

"What a pity! Most of my Pokémon were sent out to drive away the ancient Pokémon in the cave, and this is the only one left." The woman raised her red lips and threw the Poké Ball carelessly. "Although suffocation by poison gas will be painful, there is nothing I can do. Who made you unlucky enough to break into Team Rocket's operation?"

"Double bomb gas, take care of him!"

After saying that, she turned around confidently, yawned boredly, and urged the man to quickly act according to the Boss's request.

After all, what we have to deal with is just a weak boy who is powerless and a double-bullet gas is more than enough to deal with him.

But what she didn't expect was that before the steam even came out of her newly opened red lips, she saw a round shadow whizzing past her ear out of the corner of her eye.

The woman's yawn was stuck in the middle. The man took off his night vision goggles and looked in the direction of the light source in disbelief.

The slender green vines stopped swinging in the air, and the amber eyes looked at the two of them coldly, without a trace of emotion.

"You are-" the man screamed, "Trainer?!"

The two men, who suddenly felt in a difficult situation, no longer dared to look down on the young man as they did before.

The woman took a step back with a solemn expression and stood beside the man, calling out to Youyou to dig out the double-bomb gas from the stone wall and drop it in front of her.

The man also threw a Poké Ball, and the Gnat with wings and a huge mouth opened stared at the weak Green Ivy Snake.

Of course, facing such a dangerous situation, Shuoya Ye did not dare to be careless. He threw another Poké Ball and released Eevee to assist in the battle.

"Blade Leaf, Shadow Ball."

The leaves at the tail of the green vine snake glowed green. It locked onto the double-bullet gas that was suspended not too high from the ground and rushed forward, twisting its body to knock the green leaves out from the side.

Eevee lowered its front half, opened its mouth, and condensed a dark shadow ball, aiming at Zubat that was flapping its wings in the air.

"Avoid it!"

"Goutbat, strange light!"

The huge body of Gastropod determines its dodging speed. A few seconds after the trainer's instructions were given, Gastropod slowly floated back a short distance.

Unfortunately, he did not escape from the range of the Green Ivy Snake Blade Leaves and was knocked away again, hitting the stone wall and many stones exploded and fell.

Zubat shot out circles of light with strange but indescribable colors from its eyes, and the Shadow Ball exploded a few meters in front of it. The gusts of air almost made it lose its balance and fall from the sky.

The man sighed softly, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

Just this initial mutual probing is enough to reveal the gap between the two sides.

This seemingly weak boy is actually very strong.

Far stronger than their Pokémon's abilities.

What kind of monster is the Pokémon League breeding?!

The man's Adam's apple rolled, but he quickly calmed down and sneered.

Yes, when it comes to Pokémon battles, they may indeed be inferior to the trainers carefully trained by the Pokémon League.

But... they are Team Rocket.

The man winked at the woman under the cover of Zubat. After a brief moment of surprise, the woman nodded, with the same smile as the man's on her face.

"Double bomb gas, smoke!"

The double-bullet gas spewed out a large amount of turbid gas from its body, filling the area and temporarily obscuring Sakuya Ye's vision.

Shuo Gu Ye was no longer surprised by this kind of moves and had already developed a way to crack them.

"Leaf..." The storm blew away

"Big-mouthed bat, high-speed star!"

Shrouded in smoke, the Green Ivy Snake and Eevee became alert at the same time, constantly narrowing the distance between them, intending to cover each other.

Just as Shuo Gu Ye was about to ask the Green Vine Snake to blow away the smoke, a series of sounds of breaking air came from his ears, and an indescribable sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart.

He subconsciously leaned over and supported himself on the ground with his arms. Five-pointed stars exploded above his head, and countless pieces of stone fell off the stone wall and hit the young man.

The moment the explosion sounded, Snake and Eevee understood their opponent's trick, and were filled with anger and worry.

Eevee made a quick decision, kicked off from the battle with all four legs, and ran towards the trainer according to the direction he remembered.

A hint of fierceness flashed in the eyes of the green vine snake. As the two vines reappeared, green leaves also emerged in its hands, spinning and entwining.

----

Shuo Gu Ye struggled to get up under the rubble. The large and small rubble scratched his exposed skin, leaving shocking blood marks.

He stood up at the sound of Ibrahimovic's concerned cry, and slowly raised his head to look at the sunken stone wall above his head with spider-web-like cracks.

If he hadn't anticipated the attack, I'm afraid the spider web cracks would have been full of...

It's his head.

Before he could think about it, the vision in his right eye suddenly became blurry, and a sticky, warm liquid flowed onto his eyelid. He lowered his head, raised his hand to cover his right eye, and blood dripped down his raised eyelashes.

The blood-red liquid slid down the boy's fair face, branched into different tributaries, and dripped along the fingers and nose bridge, onto the white coat like blooming plum blossoms.

Eevee stared at the scene in front of it in a daze. Its worry for its trainer made it throw itself into Sakuya Ye's arms and stick out its tongue to lick away the horrible blood.

But Sakuya Ye stretched out his left hand which was not stained with blood to stop Ibrahimovic's head from leaning forward, and rubbed it a few times.

The tip of his tongue lightly licked the lips that were stained brightly with blood.

Shuoya Ye savored the taste of rust on his taste buds, and an inexplicable impulse surged into his mind.

It was as if the gunpowder that had been suppressed for so long was finally ignited by a torch, burning, reacting, and exploding under the seemingly calm ice layer.

The two members of Team Rocket listened to the smoke that had become silent after the explosion, and they looked at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

As expected, he is still a kid who is still wet behind the ears and has an unusually low level of guard against others.

Perhaps the flowers that grow up in a greenhouse have never thought that in a seemingly fair Pokémon battle, the opponent Pokémon would dare to directly jump over their own Pokémon and attack the trainer?

Just as the two of them smiled and raised their hands to take back the two Pokémon, a light laugh came from the smoke.

The frivolous, careless laughter, like a breeze blowing past their ears, gave goose bumps to the two members of Team Rocket, who had done countless cruel things, and their voices trembled unconsciously.

"A-A-Are you okay?!!!"

Shuo Gu Ye put down his right hand which was about to be dyed red and slowly raised his head. At this moment, there seemed to be two blood-red lines dancing in his blue eyes.

Weird, scary, and filled with immense violence.

"Green vine snake."

The moment Shuo Guye finished speaking, two vines suddenly coiled up from under the feet of the two men, tied them up tightly, and lifted them into the air.

The two men, who were gripped by fear, had no strength to struggle. They had almost lost control of their bodies and could only watch the young man slowly walking towards them from the other side as the smoke gradually dissipated.

Step by step, neither too fast nor too slow.

But in the eyes of the two, it was more terrifying than the evil spirit.

In particular, the blood-red mark looked even more vivid against the boy's already fair skin. The strong color contrast aroused infinite panic in their hearts.

The green vine snake emerged from the smoke with its vines raised. In addition to the whirlwind of green leaves gathered in its hands, its eyes that gradually turned blood red made the two smell the scent of death for the first time.

Evil! How evil!

The man almost screamed out loud. He saw with his own eyes that the boy's weakness and gentleness suddenly faded away at that moment. Even his Pokémon's eyes were full of brutality, as if it was possessed by some ghost.

"Green vine snake." Shuogu Ye curled his lips, his eyes showing undisguised brutality and excitement, "Ye Baofeng, put an end to them."
