There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

"I divided the work with my colleagues. They were responsible for resisting the armed attacks of Team Rocket and protecting the people, while I took the opportunity to sneak into the place where they stored the captured Pokémon and rescued them."

Miss Junsha sat in what looked like a small conference room, with her hands on her chin as she spoke about the information brought by this operation. Xiaoye and Sakura were both concentrating and pricked up their ears, but Acorus and Peony, who were sitting next to them, were absent-minded.

Calamus leaned against Peony's face and whispered, "Hey, you are so shameless that you call this place a meeting room and brought them in?"

"Does it matter? This place was indeed designed as a meeting room from the beginning." Mudan pointed at Sakura who looked serious. "Sister Sakura's reaction wasn't as big as yours. Is it that serious?"

"But…"

Acorus turned back with a bitter face, looking at the chair where Miss Junsha was sitting and supporting her head in distress.

If I remember correctly, the three sisters watched an exciting movie here not long ago. When the movie reached its climax, they were so excited that they stepped on this chair together and scattered a few grains of popcorn in their hands on the ground.

Acorus secretly glanced at the ground not far from Xiaoye's feet, then turned his head away, unable to bear to look at it.

Yes, the popcorn is still on the floor.

When the Hualan Gym was first established, this place was indeed planned to be built into a meeting room, but later on for various reasons they never held any meetings. Even if there was something to talk about, they would just find a place to cross their legs and talk about it, so this room gradually became covered in dust.

Until one day Sakura suddenly got interested and took everyone to sit here and watch a movie. Although this room escaped the fate of being closed, its purpose also changed.

I remember that when Xiaoxia was just born, this room was used as a nursery.

Therefore, now Acorus feels something is amiss when looking at the conference room which has been restored to its original purpose, especially since it is rare for everyone to sit down seriously in this room instead of walking in with buckets of popcorn and giggling, or running in hurriedly with freshly prepared milk powder.

Acorus buried his head in his arms, deciding to turn a blind eye.

Let them be! This farce will soon be over anyway!

"Everything went well at first. I even touched the Poké Balls that were taken away from the trainers."

Miss Junsha glanced at the little boy who was already asleep on the chair, and Sakura considerately took a thin blanket from the shelf nearby and covered him with it.

As for why there was a quilt in the conference room, Xiao Ye was confused but did not ask.

After finally looking away, Acorus felt that the quilt looked familiar. Thinking carefully, it seemed that this was the quilt that Xiaoxia had covered herself with when she was a child?

Did they wash it after Xiaoxia stopped using it? They should have washed it, right?

Miss Junsha continued, "But when I rescued the Poké Ball, this kid saw me. He might have been scared by Team Rocket. When he saw the familiar people in police uniforms, his first reaction was to cry and call me. His actions were exposed, and you know what happened next."

Xiao Ye nodded and retracted her gaze from the quilt, and asked, "What are your plans next?"

"If I plan to..." Miss Junsha took down her gun and placed it on the table, and said seriously, "Of course I have to go again to rescue all the Pokémon! This is my duty as a police officer."

"But after this operation, Team Rocket will also increase their vigilance, right?" Sakura reminded, "It will be too dangerous if you rely on yourself."

"Don't worry." Miss Junsha explained, "My colleagues originally planned to rescue the kidnapped hostages tonight. I will set off after they create chaos. By then, the main force of the Rocket Team must have been transferred, so there won't be much danger."

"I'll go with you." Xiao Ye said after seeing the disapproving expression on Miss Junsha's face, "If we encounter danger, my Pokémon can also cover our retreat. Besides, as a trainer, I will not turn a blind eye to the plundered Pokémon."

Xiao Ye stared at Miss Junsha for a moment, and the expression on her face gradually faded. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, while Xiao Ye kept staring at her, hoping to convey his determination to her and get her promise.

"Even if I don't agree, you will still follow me, right?" Miss Junsha raised her head and smiled helplessly, "Many trainers are like you, and have their own set of behavioral standards. No matter how others try to dissuade them, it will be useless. It's better for you to follow me so that I can keep an eye on you."

"Then I wish you good luck in your operations!"

Sakura noticed the disdain in Miss Junsha's eyes and quickly got angry and said, "What are you doing? Isn't it a common plot for beautiful girls who are not good at fighting to cheer for the heroes from the back?"

"No, this is fine." Miss Junsha had completely given up on the Cerulean Gym. "Then you stay here and take good care of the little boy. If necessary, take him back to the Pokémon Center. There are many trainers there who will fight against Team Rocket's invasion with Joey. It should be the safest place."

"Let me make it clear in advance that it's not that we don't want to help you!"

Sakura pulled a Poké Ball out of the pocket of her coat and threw it, and after a flash of white light, Xiaoye looked at the Pokémon in front of her with her jaw dropped.

What caught my eye was a goldfish flapping its wings wildly on the ground.

It has no fighting ability at all outside of water!

"As you can see, we're a water gym! Pokémon are creatures like fish, and they can't survive out of water, so they're useless on land."

After watching Sakura put the Goldfish back into the Poké Ball, Ayame took out a Poké Ball and added, "Of course, there are water-type Pokémon that can use skills even when they leave the water, but..."

Xiaoye recognized that the Pokémon released by Acorus was the Pokémon printed on the performance tent of the three Cerulean sisters - the little sea lion.

"Little sea lion, use the water gun."

The snow-white little sea lion clapped its hands, raised its head and aimed at the ceiling, ready to use its skills. Miss Junsha took a step back and shouted, "Stop! If you use the water gun here, the whole house will be flooded!"

"Don't worry." Acorus waved his hands to indicate that there was no need to be afraid, and continued to encourage the little sea lion, "Just like we trained, release it without hesitation!"

The little sea lion, which was originally a little hesitant, immediately put aside his hesitation, raised his head and gathered his strength, and soon a beautiful "little sea lion fountain" appeared.

Xiao Ye stretched out his arm to compare, and found that the water gun was not even as thick as his wrist!

And the height of the spray was only just reaching Miss Junsha's nose!

"Here, that's it." Acorus squatted down and touched the little sea lion's head, and made a scissors sign beside it, "This is a special program we have arranged for our next performance! Water fountain! How is it? Pretty good, right?"

Looking at the little sea lion smiling proudly, Miss Junsha didn't know what to say. She just turned her attention to the last hope of the three Hualan sisters - Peony.

"Me?" Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on her, Mudan quickly shook her head and said, "Don't look at me like that! My sisters don't have any powerful Pokémon, let alone me as their younger sister!"

"I think so." Miss Junsha was not too disappointed. She just wanted to see how outrageous the gym leader in Cerulean City could be. Even though she had prepared herself mentally, she still couldn't help but squeeze out a sentence from between her teeth, "You guys should at least pay more attention to Pokémon!"

The three Hualan sisters all put on silly smiles and nodded in agreement.

"Really? It's hopeless!" Miss Junsha covered her face and pushed the door open, worried about the future of Hualan City. "Xiaoye, come with me too. I'll tell you about the specific content of tonight's mission."

"Okay." Xiao Ye quickly got up and followed Miss Junsha. Even after turning around and closing the door of the conference room, he could still hear the laughter coming from inside.

Xiao Ye couldn't help but agree with Miss Junsha's words in his heart.

It’s really hopeless!

----

The city fell into darkness and the sound of gunfire gradually stopped.

Two figures took advantage of the temporary rest time of the entire city to sneak into a building next to a warehouse. Miss Junsha leaned against the window and whispered, "That's where they store the captured Pokémon. We will take action when we hear fighting sounds coming from somewhere else."

Xiao Ye nodded and looked through the glass at the warehouse below which was surrounded by layers of walls.

Countless Team Rocket members were patrolling around the warehouse with guns in hand. It seemed that Miss Junsha's failed intrusion had indeed made them alert.

The member of Team Rocket, who was on alert with his gun raised, yawned and stood listlessly at the door of the warehouse. "Why hasn't it been fixed yet? Isn't Cerulean City the weakest city?"

"I heard from the front lines that although no one from the Cerulean Gym has been seen so far, because the Cerulean sisters' ballet is too famous, a large number of trainers who came here to watch have gathered here. Now they are all concentrated in the Pokémon Center to resist our attack." Another member of Team Rocket echoed casually, hoping to get through this long night quickly.

Before they could say anything more, a dragon roar that broke through the sky was heard from afar, followed by a column of water that broke through the clouds.

"Beep! Attention all Team Rocket members! Hurry to the west district of Cerulean City for support! A powerful Gyarados has appeared here!"

"Ding! Requesting support! Requesting support! A Blastoise appeared in the East District and is destroying the base!"

"Ding! The South District was raided by the police! Request support to strengthen the defense! Wait! A duck appeared in the South District! A duck riding on the big waves! That's the Gotha Duck!"

The continuous calls made the two of them confused. They looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

At this time, a black shadow appeared above their heads again, and it disappeared after a yellow lightning swept through their bodies. A smell of barbecue came from the shadow lying on the ground.

The cat boss appeared under the moonlight, and disappeared into the darkness on its soft meat pads, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, taking the lives of the Rocket Team members guarding the warehouse.

As a result, Miss Junsha and Xiao Ye who sneaked in after it had a very smooth journey and hardly saw any shadow of the Rocket Team members. Xiao Ye even suspected that he had been dazzled when he was upstairs. Is there really someone guarding here?

Miss Junsha held her gun and did not dare to let her guard down. She took Xiaoye according to the route she took last time and went to the place where the Poké Balls were stored. Just as she tried to open the lock, a flashlight shone at the two of them.

Xiaoye quickly threw the Poké Ball to release Ditto, squinting his eyes to adapt to the dazzling light.

"You're here again, Junsha." The man holding the flashlight spoke calmly, as if he was not surprised at all that Miss Junsha appeared here again. "I was lucky to let you go last time, but I won't be so lucky this time."

"Don't be so confident, Cahill." Miss Junsha also recognized this wanted criminal who still remained in the police station's files. She curled her lips and said, "I didn't expect you to be with Team Rocket."

"You seem to have misunderstood something." Cahill said calmly, "It's not that I'm with Team Rocket, it's that I led this invasion."

Cahill seemed very satisfied with Miss Junsha's surprised expression. He glanced at Xiaoye, who was tense all over, and said, "I didn't expect you to bring a kid with you this time. Do you think it's too lonely to die alone?"

Xiao Ye's eyes had just adjusted to the strong light. He looked at Cahill who was holding a pistol in his hand and found that this man was so thin!

Protruding cheekbones, thin lips, and deep sunken eyes made it look like his eyeballs were about to fall out! His figure looked just like a mummy. The loose clothes on his body did not show any beauty, and his fingers were like dry branches! He was very tall, but with his clothes, he looked like a dead tree covered with clothes.

"What? Are you scared?" Cahill forced a smile, but he didn't know that such a smile on his dry face was even more terrifying. "I can let you go. This battle has nothing to do with you, kid."

"Xiaoye, leave here!" Miss Junsha took off the Poké Ball from her waist and raised her gun, persuading Xiaoye to leave. "He's right, this battle has nothing to do with you."

Xiao Ye, who was persuaded to leave, swallowed his saliva and stood in front of Miss Junsha, "Ditto, don't be afraid! Transform into Onix!"

He turned his head and said to Miss Junsha, "Miss Junsha, continue to unlock the door! Trust us!"

Miss Junsha was stunned for a moment, and saw the determination in Xiaoye's eyes. She gritted her teeth, put down the pistol, and immediately turned around and squatted to continue unlocking.

Ditto felt the comfort from the trainer's words and quickly calmed down and followed the command. His body gradually lengthened and grew until he completely became Onix and howled to the sky.

"So you're a trainer." Cahill shook his head and put down his gun, then took out a Poké Ball and shook it. "Since you're a trainer, I'll have a Pokémon battle with you. It's a battle where your life is at stake."

"Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus, you come and fight."
