There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

"Monarch snake, crazy plant!"

Several vines that rose from the ground effortlessly grabbed the dozen or so frantic Pokémon in front of them, and no matter how they struggled, it was useless.

Behind them, the Rocket Team members holding the radio wave transmitting device were shaking with their hands.

As the young man pressed on, he frantically increased the frequency of the radio waves, hoping to stimulate the potential of the Pokémon in its mad state to break free from its restraints.

Shuoya Ye heard the sound of vines tightening beside his ears and looked up.

The pain and anger in the eyes of the fire monkey who was restrained by the vines became even more intense, and he almost struggled to break free from the restraints in a desperate manner.

Coincidentally, almost all Pokémon completely abandoned their body's instinctive defense mechanism the moment the radio waves intensified and began to struggle regardless of the pain.

The Monarch Snake's eyes flashed, and in an instant dozens of thick vines sprang out from the ground and entangled the Pokémon.

The Rockets wiped their sweat with relief and laughed crazily.

"Give up! Master Cole has made every possible preparation for this experiment—"

Before he could finish his words, Team Rocket felt a sharp pain in his wrist and was unable to hold the radio transmitter, so it fell to the ground.

He was kneeling on the ground wailing, covering his wrist which was pierced with blood.

Another accurate shot.

The radio transmitter that fell to the ground emitted a burst of black smoke and completely stopped working.

The Pokémon, who were almost overdrawing their lives under the control of the radio waves, no longer had the strength to struggle, and their limbs became limp and fell naturally.

Kitazawa Lingyou walked out from the side with cold eyes.

He raised his right foot and stepped on Rocket's fragile neck, pressing his face to the ground.

He ignored the screams mixed with curses in his ears, bent down and turned out the pockets of Team Rocket's black jacket, then shook his head at the boy who was walking slowly towards him.

"Neither did he."

"It's ok."

Sakutani Ye noticed that Kitazawa Reiyuu was pressing down slightly with his foot, and was about to say something, but then he paused and left a sentence.

"Hold on, Miss Junsha will be here soon."

"Don't worry, you said so."

Kitazawa Reiyu finally raised his foot to release Team Rocket who had fallen into coma due to lack of oxygen, and watched the boy bend down to pick up the E-type machine that fell from Team Rocket's upturned pocket and throw it high into the sky.

"Knife leaf."

A green light flashed, and the last noise from the outskirts of the forest was completely stopped.

After working non-stop all night, Shuo Gu Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief and was able to sit down by a tree and rest for a while.

He looked at the rising sun in the sky and murmured, "It's almost over..."

In just one night, Team Rocket's cruelty taught Sakuya Ye a good lesson.

Looking at the Pokémon who, under the control of Team Rocket, had built a fortress with their bodies just to cover their retreat, his heart ached.

It was not until this moment that he realized that his participation was not some heroic act that would go down in history as the drone had said.

It is a race against time to save more innocent Pokémon.

"If nothing goes wrong." Kitazawa Lingyou walked over to the boy and sat down, following his gaze towards the center of the forest not far away.

As early as a few hours ago, there were dragon roars that could break the sky and sounds of battle that could shake the heavens and the earth.

The battle lasted for about an hour, and there was no sound after that.

Shuo Gu Ye nodded, raised his head, leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes to rest.

Kitazawa Lingyou didn't say anything when he saw this.

Instead, he raised his hand and gently pushed the boy, whose breathing had become shallow, towards his shoulder, and also closed his eyes and took a nap.

----

While he was still drowsy, Shuoya Ye was quickly awakened by a burst of noisy noise.

He opened his eyes, but it was blurry and he could not see clearly. He could only ask, "Is Miss Junsha here?"

"Do not."

Kitazawa Lingyou stared at the depths of the forest where the sound came from, frowning slightly.

He raised his right arm, which was not being pressed down, loaded the bullet, and aimed it in the direction where the sound came from.

A moment later, three figures ran out of the forest.

Bang-!

A bullet hit them just an inch in front of their feet.

There was no doubt that if she had not stopped the car in time, the bullet would have hit her foot.

"Enemy attack!" A female voice suddenly shouted, "Stinky Flower, Flying Leaf Sharp Knife!"

"Stop."

The red-haired man in a cloak stopped Vileflower who was already in an attacking stance, and spoke slowly under the inquiring gaze of the blue shoulder-length hair woman.

"Kitazawa, Sakutani."

"Sakuyaha?"

Next to him, a muscular man with bare upper body looked at the black-haired boy and said, "He looks like this? Why is he different from the photo?"

While the burly man was speaking, Shuoya Ye, whose eyes were finally able to see clearly but were blocked completely, leaned out.

He didn't have time to get excited about seeing Du again. When he saw the vines surging under the feet of the three people, he quickly spoke.

"Stop, Monarch Snake!"

As soon as the words fell, the vines disappeared without a trace.

The Monarch Snake, which had been hiding in the dark, also showed up, ignoring the three people passing by them, and walked towards the trainer.

After the Monarch Snake returned to his side, Shuoya Ye apologized, "I'm sorry, the Monarch Snake thought you were enemies."

"No problem." Du shook his head, his eyes briefly lingering on the black-haired boy's action of putting away the gun for a few seconds.

But he didn't say much, and introduced them to the two of them.

"This is Erika, the gym leader of Rainbow City."

The blue-haired woman who was called nodded and smiled gently.

"Who is this--"

"Just call me Sheba."

Xiba interrupted Du and ran to Shuoya Ye in two or three steps. "Yes, that's right. It's exactly the same as in the photo."

Du glanced at Xiba and said, "The situation has changed. We need to apply to the Light Red City Police for infrared equipment to search the forest. You should leave with us."

"Why do you need infrared equipment?" Kitazawa Lingyou suddenly asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Erica was slightly surprised when she heard this, and looked at Du with concern, who looked calm.

Watari looked at the black-haired boy and didn't hide anything.

"Aju, the gym leader of Crimson City, has betrayed the alliance. We need infrared equipment to search for his whereabouts and arrest him."

Seeing that Du had already revealed the most important information, Erica no longer hesitated and added, "Yes, Aju has been hiding in the dark and launching sneak attacks. If he is not driven away or arrested, it will greatly increase the difficulty of supporting the Pokémon Center."

"I knew he was a shady villain hiding in the dark and throwing poison. I've been annoyed with him for a long time!" Xiba said gritting his teeth.

Obviously, compared with Dragonite who can fly in the sky and Vileflower who is familiar with the forest environment, his Fighting-type Pokémon must have suffered a lot.

However, in a blink of an eye, Xiba put this matter behind his mind and instead looked at the monarch snake beside Shuoya Ye, who had been staring at him hungrily.

To be precise, it's the badge on its neck.

"Why are you using this?"

Still immersed in the fact that Mr. Aju was actually a traitor to the Alliance, Shuoya Ye followed Xiba's gaze and replied, "It was stolen from Team Rocket. It is very effective against the interference of the E-type machine."

Hiba looked back at Watari.

Du was thoughtful for a moment, then continued, "It seems that the alliance has not yet implemented the new device. It has only been issued to the gym owners and the kings."

Under Shuoya Ye's confused gaze, Erica came over holding the stinky flower, pushed aside its drooping leaves with her hands and said, "Look, this is a device developed by the alliance that can resist interference from the E-type machine."

Close to the left ear of Vileplume, a round device only the size of a fingernail is attached to the skin.

"Team Rocket should be injecting drugs to stimulate the Pokémon's nerves so that they won't be driven into frenzy by the device." Erica stroked the pistil of the Vileflower and shook her head.

"After all, medicine is poisonous. For the safety of Pokémon, the Alliance finally adopted a method that is similar to the principle of the E-type machine, except that it activates the antagonistic wave frequency."

She smiled and said, "Thanks to you and Ma Zhishi's full efforts in Vermilion City. Although many key components of the first-generation E-type machine were destroyed in the explosion, they were restored to their original state after emergency repairs, making a great contribution to the development of the first-generation anti-E-type machine device."

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Du's face.

But he quickly stopped smiling and said, "Let's leave here first and use the police equipment to find the traitor as soon as possible—"

Before Du could finish his words, accompanied by a sharp ultrasonic attack, Zubat flapped its wings and flew into the air, staring at everyone.

Next to it, the moth slowly emerged from the bushes and sprinkled the phosphorus powder on its wings to everyone.

Du made a quick decision and threw out the Poké Ball to release Dragonite, using a violent wind to blow away the phosphorus powder.

At the same time, he shouted, "Ailijia, take them away first!"

Erica understood, and she grabbed the wrist of each boy with her left and right hands and pulled them away.

Zubat looked at the three people leaving and threw a series of pentagrams at them.

However, he was easily stopped halfway by a strange being with four arms.

At the same time, the monster even had enough strength to use its remaining two hands to uproot a large tree nearby and throw it towards the two Pokémon flying high in the sky.

"Pay attention to your surroundings," Du said in a deep voice.

Naturally, it doesn't take the two kings to suppress the two Pokémon of an ordinary gym leader.

But what caught Du off guard was the elusive movements of the ninja Aju and the poisoned hidden weapons.

The strength of Aju, who also has the ability to participate in the battle, combined with her Pokémon is more than just one plus one equals two.

"No problem!" Xiba patted his chest and said, "But aren't you afraid of luring the tiger away from the mountain?"

"He can try."

Du Da waved his hand and commanded Dragonite to attack.

"Erica in the forest field is not so easy to deal with."

The scene of capturing Cole's airship and entering its interior for inspection flashed before his eyes.

"Besides, Sakuya is not a powerless novice trainer. If you underestimate him, you will pay the price."

"Yo, this isn't like you."

Xiba looked at Du with a rare surprise, and couldn't help but get excited, "Okay, okay! When I have time, I must go fight him and see what kind of strength he has that our Dragon Envoy Du gave him such a high evaluation?"

Du snorted coldly.

"That's what Kona said. I just conveyed it on his behalf."

"so what?"

Xiba laughed, made the strange force jump high, and chopped Zubat down with his hand knife.

"This battle has been decided by me!"
