There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

The Green Ivy Snake obeyed the trainer's instructions - after all, what it was thinking at the moment coincided with the trainer's.

The turquoise leaves broke away from his hands, spinning and circling in the air.

Under the cold white light of the flashlight, the emerald green leaves were mottled with blood-red spots.

The man held his breath and his eyes widened into the size of copper bells.

The sharp wind blades brought up by the storm scraped his cheek. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but something seemed to flow down his slightly cool nose.

It's...blood!

The man kicked his legs and lost consciousness.

"Stop, Green Ivy Snake."

At the critical moment, Shuoya Ye also forced his unbridled rationality back, and stopped the Qingteng Snake's movements with a hoarse voice.

Ye Baofeng disappeared within a millimeter distance from the two of them. The only woman who remained conscious had fear in her eyes.

The hair that had been hanging neatly behind her ears was now in a mess. Her tense nerves suddenly relaxed and she started coughing violently.

Then, her eyes went dark, she felt a sharp pain at the back of her neck, and she passed out.

The two were thrown from the air by the green vine snake like garbage. The sound of bones and stones hitting each other made Shuoya Ye feel painful.

"That's fine, just leave them here."

Shuoya Ye leaned against the stone wall and took out the medicine originally used to treat the Pokémon's injuries from his backpack. After considering for a long time, he only took some basic disinfectants to simply treat the wound.

After all, humans and Pokémon have different body structures, so it is still unknown whether the drugs can be used interchangeably.

Shuo Gu Ye sat on the ground and first bandaged the most serious wound on his forehead. Then he opened his mouth and bit a piece of the bandage to wrap up the cut on his arm that was still bleeding.

After dealing with all this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to recall the two Pokémon.

One was held in the arms, and the other touched the forehead.

"You were also affected just now, right?"

Shuoya Ye looked into the still cold eyes of the Green Ivy Snake, slid his hand down, covered its eyelids with his thumb, and closed its eyes.

"That feeling is very strange..." Shuoya Ye moved his right hand away from the green vine snake and placed it in front of his eyes, repeatedly clenching his fist and opening his palm.

"It doesn't seem like I'm being controlled by something, but it's true..." A drop of sweat dripped from Shuoya's chin, "I'm no longer like myself."

"It feels like something is taking over and suppressing all other emotions."

Shuoya Ye still remembers Ibrahimovic's expression at that moment when he was driven by impulse and stood up easily from the ground.

The eyes that had always been used for acting cute and coquettish were stained with blood, and it bared its teeth and let out a series of low growls.

That unfamiliar feeling of ferocity made Sakuya Ye feel scared when he recalled it now, and he couldn't help but hug the Ibrahimovic, who was nestling obediently in his arms, even tighter.

When the green vine snake opened its eyes again, the coldness in its eyes, the indifference that treated other people's lives as worthless, had faded away.

It turned its head to look at the two people who were lying on the ground completely unconscious, then sat down next to the trainer and closed its eyes to rest.

"Next time, if something like this happens again, you must wake me up in time."

Shuoya Ye raised his hand to cover his forehead which was feeling the sting again, and spoke softly.

"No matter what means, attack me mercilessly."

At this moment, both Eevee and Serpentine outside, and the other three Pokémon on standby in the Poké Balls nodded slightly.

That feeling of being out of control...

They don't want to experience it again.

"Okay, let's go."

Sakutani Ye propped himself up from the ground and lifted the Eevee in his arms, while looking at the Green Ivy Snake who looked up at him.

"Team Rocket has infiltrated the cave, and we may encounter them again ahead. Don't hold back when the time comes, just knock them out."

----

The texture of the cave stone walls is rough, as if it has been eroded by wind, rain and water for tens of millions of years. Sharp rocks are exposed from time to time on the winding road, which need to be avoided carefully.

The air was filled with a damp smell, and water drops kept dripping on the boy's hair.

They dripped tirelessly, giving Shuoguye's slightly turbid brain some temporary coolness, allowing him to wake up and think.

There is a traitor in the Pokémon League.

This is the truth that Shuoya Ye discovered from the many Rocket members he defeated along the way.

And...I'm afraid his status is not low.

Shuo Gu Ye held up a flashlight. Under the dim light, stalagmites and stalactites of various shapes were scattered on the ground, waiting quietly like ice sculptures, recording the visitors.

Perhaps Master Kona noticed this, so after returning to the Pokémon League, he immediately made the report of her actions this time a top-secret file that no one except her could read.

She may have someone she suspects in her mind, but this person's identity and status are too special, so she dare not confront him head-on. Instead, she chooses to lie dormant temporarily, lurking under the ice like flowing water, waiting for the right time to break the ice and deal a fatal blow to the betrayer.

The ghost inside...

Is he the Pokémon professor who holds a high position in the Pokémon League?

Or a well-respected gym trainer?

Or is it one of Kikuko, Shiba, or Toten-wang?

besides...

Shuo Gu Ye couldn't control his thoughts at this moment. Even though he knew how shocking the next guess would be, he still continued to think deeply about it.

He is the most powerful one sitting on the uncrowned throne.

"Cough-cough-"

A cough was as loud as thunder in the dark night. Shuo Gu Ye immediately cut off his thoughts, tensed his muscles and looked towards the cave beside him.

The echo of the cough seemed to echo endlessly in the twisting passage.

It was a man's voice.

Shuo Guye's eyes were full of cruelty as he looked at the man who was walking slowly out of the passage with a slightly hunched back.

Moreover, it was an old acquaintance.

"Cahill..."

The man whose name was called looked up in surprise, squinting his eyes to meet the glaring flashlight, and his gaze slowly moved upwards until he saw the boy's face.

Memories of Cerulean City flashed before his eyes, and Cahill couldn't help but let out a small chuckle of pleasure.

But the next moment, he covered his mouth again, bent over and started coughing violently.

His figure seemed even thinner.

If it were said that when he was in Hualan City, he could barely be considered a tree branch wearing a coat.

Now he was like a dried-up skeleton with only a layer of loose skin clinging to it, his lips were blue and his complexion was particularly bad.

"The boy next to Junsha..." Cahill raised his arm and wiped his lips with the luxurious fabric, and said lightly, "I didn't expect to meet you here."

"How did you become like this?"

Shuoya Ye frowned, looking at the man who started breathing heavily after just saying a few words, as if he would fall to the ground with just a poke of his little finger.

"Want to chat with me?" Cahill smiled. "Sure, I'd rather talk to you than a boring Pokémon battle."

Sakuya Ye didn't reply. He remained tense, holding a Poké Ball tightly in his hand.

"Du, you are worthy of being one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto." Cahill seemed to be unconcerned with the boy's vigilance, and said to himself, "Although I don't want to admit it, he did cause me a lot of trouble. It took me a lot of effort to escape from him."

After that, he coughed a few more times and laughed with a breathy voice, "How ridiculous, the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto are like the Katnids under Junsha, chasing people by smelling the scent, and will not stop unless they bite a piece of meat off my body."

"Why is Team Rocket here?"

Shuoya Ye did not continue the conversation following the topic brought up by Cahill, but decisively switched to the next one after getting the information he needed, just like a police officer interrogating a prisoner.

Cahill obviously realized the boy's purpose, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he changed the subject smoothly.

"I thought you should know." The man walked out of the dark passage and gently placed his arm on a stone pillar. "After all, for a trainer to be able to enter here, the Pokémon League must have given you some information."

Shuoya Ye raised the flashlight and moved it towards Cahill.

Cahill tilted his head as the light shone directly into his eyes, his tone of voice barely changing.

"Did you find it? Smart boy."

Shuoya Ye's gaze fell on the stone pillar where the man's broad palm rested, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Very good, it seems that you have also realized the seriousness of the matter."

Cahill pulled the corners of his mouth and threw out two Poké Balls.

"Then let's continue guessing. Since the target we are looking for has left traces here, is it actually nearby?"

Shuoya Ye's head buzzed. Under Cahill's deliberate reminder, a series of roars filled with incomparable anger approached his ears and echoed in his mind.

[Get lost! Damn human! Liar!]

And at the moment when the boy was in a trance, the two Poké Balls thrown by Cahill also bloomed beside him.

Alakazam and Pop-Up appear in the cave.

"big Bang."

Cahill's cold voice rang in his ears, pulling Shuoya Ye, who was having a splitting headache, back to reality.

When he looked up, he saw the naughty bomb that was laughing and counting down to explode.

Sakuya Ye took a deep breath and threw the Poké Ball out without hesitation.

"Ditto, stop it!"

Ditto jumped out of the Poké Ball and lay on the round and naughty bomb, ready to attack it ruthlessly.

Ditto raised his limp right hand: …

You said you wanted to stop it, but how could you stop it?!

How would Ditto know how to stop the big explosion of Naughty Bomb?

The confused Ditto looked back at its trainer, eyes full of helplessness.

At the same time, Sakuya Ye also realized his stupidity and quickly picked up Ditto, his brain working rapidly.

There is no way to escape by running. It is impossible to avoid the explosion of naughty bullets that can be called a suicide attack while running in the complex and winding caves.

Moreover, the possible collapse after the explosion also means that escape is a deadly option.

Shuo Gu Ye looked at Kasir, who was standing opposite him with a calm expression, and felt confused.

Why is he so calm?

Is there any way to ensure that I will not be affected by the big explosion?

Shuoya Ye raised his flashlight and shone it across the street. A blinding reflection flashed between him and Kasir, blinding his eyes.

Shuo Gu Ye suddenly understood why Kasir didn't avoid it.

It's Hu Di!

To be precise, it was a wall of light created by Alakazam! It blocked the middle of Cahill and Naughty Bullet, ensuring that he could watch the fire from the other side without being harmed!

"Ditto!" Shuoya Ye lowered his head and looked into Ditto's confused eyes, his eyes full of trust, "I leave it to you!"

Ditto: 0.0?

Ditto: !!!!!!!!!

Ditto reacted and reached out to grab the trainer's sleeve, saying something anxiously, his little eyes almost shedding tears.

Sakuya Ye understood what Ditto said and patted it gently.

"I believe in you. Now only you can lead us out of danger."

Sakuya Ye supported Ditto with one hand and stretched out the other hand straight to Kasir who was looking at him with interest, "Transform into Alakazam, imitate its previous move, and use Light Wall!"
