Pokémon: I have a game menu

Chapter 36 Sudden Power Outage

When Citron was about to send out his third Pokémon, all the lights in the battle field suddenly went out, interrupting Citron's pitching action.

"Naoki, I'm sorry, our battle may have to be postponed." Hitlon quickly asked someone to check the circuits in the prism tower.

"Citron, there's nothing wrong with the circuit. The power supply to the Prism Tower suddenly disappeared! There might be an abnormality at the power plant." The gym staff in charge of circuit maintenance said after returning.

"Wasn't it just repaired yesterday? How come it has problems again?" Hitron was in a dilemma. If the problem was only with the circuit in the prism tower, it would be easy to solve. However, if there was a problem with the Miare Power Plant, most of Miare City would be affected during the maintenance period. The last time there was a problem, many companies in Miare City had reported the losses to the Pokémon League.

It happened again in just one day, and Citron couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't do something out of line. Even if it was a well-known gym, if it was reported many times, the Pokémon League might review the gym or even order it to close.

Citron left in a hurry, and Naoki's gym challenge was forced to stop. This result made Naoki feel relieved. If he continued to fight, Naoki felt that he would lose. This formal 6v6 battle made Naoki realize that his team's overall strength is far from strong enough. Lucario, Charizard and Gardevoir are up to standard, but the Vaporeon, Seed Ball and Sharknado behind them still need a lot of training. The level of the first three has not reached the level of being far higher than that of passers-by in the game.

Real Pokémon battles are also more complex and varied than in the game, and it is not so easy to train one or two without thinking. Just like Pokémon online battles, you must ensure that all six of your Pokémon are ace.

"Sister Mimi, please go back to the institute first. I don't know if the power outage has affected that place. I'll go to the Miare Power Plant to check the situation."

"Well, the doctor has just contacted me, Naoki, you should also be careful over there."

The problems at the Miare City power plant are not the first or second time. Given the level of technology in the Pokémon world, it is almost impossible for problems at the power plant to be caused by internal factors. Usually, they are caused by external factors, and the most likely cause is Pokémon.

Whether it is man-made or wild Pokémon intrusion, the ability to disrupt the operation of the power plant is enough to prove the power of Pokémon. Dealing with such things is extremely dangerous.

If it were any other time or any other place, Naoki would probably not intervene, but this was the Miare City Power Plant, and any disturbance could be caused by Team Flare. When dealing with such a mentally ill organization that was trying to destroy the world, the only attitude they could have was to rather kill the innocent than let them go.

After using the vitality block on Charizard and a bottle of recovery potion on Lucario, Naoki didn't think about saving items anymore. He rode on the recovered Charizard and made it fly quickly towards the power plant.

Citron was in front of Naoki, riding an eighth-generation Pokémon, Electrum, at an extremely fast speed. Naoki, who had started even slower, could only barely see his figure. Naoki could only let Charizard fly as fast as possible, so that he could at least know where Citron would eventually land.

The Miare Power Plant is quite a distance away from Miare City, but this distance is nothing when riding a Flying Pokémon. Naoki quickly returned to the clay land he had been to before. Fortunately, there would be no Garchomp rushing out to attack him this time.

"Citron!"

Naoki caught up with Citron who was waiting for him, put Charizard back into the Poké Ball, and sent out Vaporeon. Without water or grass attribute Pokémon around, the large number of Diglett and Diglett living nearby would be extremely troublesome.

"Naoki, please, let's go in and check the situation together."

Hitron didn't say anything about Naoki's following. In Hitron's opinion, the abilities displayed by Naoki made him a good helper.

"Come out, photoelectric lizard!"

Citron sent out the Pokémon in the team that can effectively deal with ground attributes. This photoelectric lizard's skill pool includes powerful moves such as Solar Beam and Surf that restrain ground attributes. It can only be said that as a gym leader, he still has many countermeasures against attributes that restrain his own use.

Naoki followed Citron all the way here, drove away many of the attacking moles, and inspected the power plant buildings along the way. From the outside, there was no problem with the power plant buildings, and the interior of the power plant also had steel floors and water isolation layers. Generally speaking, it was impossible for ground-attribute Pokémon to dig holes and sneak in.

From this point of view, the problem here is very likely to be caused by human beings. Only people can use the key card to walk in through the gate. The possibility of internal crime by power maintenance workers cannot be ruled out. Of course, Naoki is more inclined to the possibility that the members of the Flare Team broke the lock on the gate and sneaked in.

Most people in the Pokémon world are very simple and straightforward. If there is any blame, it is usually right to put it on the local villain organization. In the Kanto region, it is Team Rocket, in the Hoenn region, it is Team Aqua and Team Magma, in the Sinnoh region, it is Team Ginga, and in the Kalos region where Naoki is located, it is naturally Team Flare that takes the blame.

"Let's go in and take a look." Hitlon took out the key card and opened the door of the power plant in the northwest corner.

Naoki stopped his messy thoughts and followed Citron in.

There were no wild Pokémon inside the power plant, but for safety reasons, neither of them took the Pokémon back and walked inside along the steel passage.

Hitlon took Naoki to the control room inside. Usually there were people staying here, but now there was no one in the control room. The inside of the control room was very messy, and it looked like some thugs broke in and smashed and looted.

"It seems like someone broke in here. Judging from the time, they are very likely still inside. Be careful." Naoki frowned. He was just suspicious before, but now he is sure that it was definitely done by the Flare Team. It couldn't be that some bandits ran into the power plant to rob it.

"Well, let's go in and take a look." Hitlon nodded.

The two walked along the one-way road and soon saw a color that shouldn't be here, the orange-red suit uniform of the Flare Team that was extremely conspicuous at all times.
