Pokémon: Start with a Dragon-type Gym Leader, and pick up Guroton.

Chapter 23 I predicted your prediction!

Evolution stones allow specific Pokémon to evolve, and these evolution stones with the Pokémon's name in front of them are also called Mega Stones.

This stone looks like a glass bead, feels cool to the touch, and looks ordinary and unremarkable.

In fact, this is an essential item that allows certain Pokémon to surpass their own species' limits for a short period of time and undergo Mega Evolution!

Of course, to allow a Pokémon to Mega Evolve, you need not only a Mega Stone, but also a Key Stone and a state of mutual understanding between the Pokémon and the Key Stone.

Superstone is just the first step.

With that thought in mind, Li Luochen put the Charizard evolution stone back into his backpack, stuffed the Moo Moo Milk into the haystack, and gradually moved towards the battlefield.

He went there to help.

On the side, I can earn some pocket money.

The Rockets members are all wanted, and just now, a name that only appears in other regions appeared on the system panel.

Shuichi Sakurai, the squad leader of Team Rocket.

According to the Rockets' management hierarchy, from top to bottom, they are:

Leader, senior cadre, cadre, battalion commander, squad leader, elite team member, ordinary team member, non-staff member.

As the captain of Team Rocket, Shuichi Sakurai has a high bounty and his strength is at the mid-elite level.

With Guleton and Blaze, both mid-elite Pokémon, Li Luochen could easily deal with them.

……

……

The battle was somewhat chaotic not far away.

A variety of moves flew around, and many members of the Rockets team had already fallen.

The situation was even worse for the wild Pokémon side, as Team Rocket launched a surprise attack right from the start, significantly reducing their fighting strength.

Not to mention, this group is highly experienced in wild combat and goes all out, forcing them to be careful to protect their people.

"Hehehe, Captain Sakurai, the amplitude of the energy frequency fluctuations has increased. I think that treasure is behind these Pokémon who are holding on so tightly."

Hikawa Okamoto chuckled, licking his chapped lips. The firelight around him made him sweat profusely, but his eyes remained unusually calm.

"Captain, we haven't found any trace of the Rongcheng rescue team yet. We need to act quickly and get the supplies. Once we have them, we must leave immediately. If we encounter any rescue team members on the way, I will lead a team to stay behind and cover their retreat. You can go ahead then."

"Squad Leader Hikawa, I don't like hearing that. You're my favorite subordinate. How can I let you cover the rear? I won't allow you to degrade yourself like that."

Before long, the two men's positions were elevated, as if the tide of battle was completely in their favor and that promotion was already a sure thing.

"Alright, let's see what little treasure these Pokémon are risking their lives to protect next."

"Hikawa-kun, tell them to go easy on them. If they hurt anyone, these Pokémon won't fetch a good price."

Shuichi Sakurai is also a businessman. He treats these Pokémon as commodities and doesn't want his products to suffer too much loss.

but.

Hikawa Okamoto stood frozen in place, not issuing any instructions based on Sakurai Shuichi's words, but instead turning his head to look at him, his body trembling as he spoke:

"Hiss... Captain, do you feel like these Pokémon's attacks have suddenly gotten stronger?"

"And it's so hot."

"?"

Shuichi Sakurai felt a blur before his eyes, as if the air itself was being distorted by the heatwave.

A huge "fireball" hurtled towards them, making Hikawa Okamoto laugh involuntarily: "Captain, do you think I'm seeing things? These Pokémon actually have the energy to use such a big fireball move."

Sakurai Shuichi:? ? ?

"Baka! It's real!"

Sakurai Shuichi quickly pulled Hikawa Okamoto back a few steps. A Poké Ball landed, and a foul-smelling purple sludge monster Pokémon rose from the ground!

"Muk, use Protect!"

At the critical moment, the fallen Mud stood up, its muddy body erect, and a dark green energy shield instantly deployed, isolating the incoming "fireball"!

The protective shield was teetering on the brink of collapse, and the dark green energy was gradually dimming, as if it would shatter at any moment.

"What the hell is that force?!"

Sakurai Shuichi was a little stunned. Before they could launch a counterattack, a series of attacks suddenly came!

"Roar!"

The sky suddenly darkened, and a crimson dragon spread its wings, blocking out the blazing sun.

The flames on its tail swelled several times, its throat bulged, and with a flick of its head, an incomparably magnificent fireball shot out from its gaping maw!

The Flame Giant Ball fell like a meteorite, transforming in mid-air into the Chinese character "大" (big). With just three strokes, each stroke showcased the unique power of a Fire-type Pokémon!

Big characters explode!

Rumble!

The giant flames slammed into the ground, and the violent shockwave caused the Team Rocket members to faint on the spot.

Smoke billowed, and the once barren mountain ridge was now covered in a layer of scorch. Most of the Team Rocket members were rendered incapacitated by the attack, reducing their combat strength to one-tenth of what it was at the beginning.

"Ahem... League Trainer, don't push your luck!"

As the smoke cleared, a double-barreled gas cannon sat before Shuichi Sakurai, with two similar heads, one large and one small, and a hint of anger gradually appeared in its melancholy eyes.

Only external League Trainers could suddenly turn the tide of battle in such a short time.

Sakurai Shuichi wasn't stupid; he immediately ordered Hikawa Okamoto to release the remaining Pokémon.

Bang bang bang!

Eleven Pokémon appeared at the same time, just waiting for Li Luochen to stick his head out so they could give him a good beating!

If Sakurai Shuichi is on the third level.

So Li Luochen is on the fifth floor.

He knew, of course, that the Team Rocket members had collectively sent out Pokémon to ambush him.

If you ride on the back of a Dragonair or a Charizard, you'll be easily spotted.

and so.

Li Luochen chose to sit on Guleton's back and go around to the back, directly following the mountainside to catch them off guard and make them impossible to defend against!

Sure enough, during the standoff, Li Luochen had already quietly moved behind enemy lines.

"Roar!"

The enormous fireball that had been burning earlier dissipated its flames and instead released a terrifying, surging killing intent!

Seven-colored flames enveloped his entire body, instantly transforming into a deep purple phantom dragon!

The Blazing Flame rammed into the Mud that was blocking its way, lifting it up and maintaining its tank-like speed while continuously increasing its force!

"Let's take down that weird Pokémon first!"

Sakurai Shuichi frowned. He didn't recognize Hakuryuu, but he felt that if left unchecked, problems could easily arise!

Eleven Pokémon aimed at the speeding Flareon, but just as they were halfway through their attack, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.

A powerful fighting energy emanated from behind, getting closer and closer, clearly indicating that they had come prepared!

Ruined!

Such thoughts kept echoing in their minds, preventing them from calming down for a long time.
