Chapter 451: Rocket Team's Response
Chapter 451: Rocket Team's Response
In the Kanto region's Odaki City, at the Rocket Team base.
A rapid ringing interrupted Okada's work, and a large video call projection appeared on the wall.
"Boss, it seems like Bisashas is about to pick a fight with Master Jinghe!" Shiniao exclaimed in a hurried tone.
Bisashas?
Master Jinghe?
A fight?
Okada was slightly taken aback, feeling a bit surprised.
Within the Rocket Team, Okada's reputation was unparalleled, and it was almost as if no one could or would dare to disobey his orders.
However, there were occasionally dissenting voices, like Bisashas.
Unlike many others who were discovered and nurtured by Okada, Bisashas had joined the Rocket Team later in his career; he was originally a Pokemon hunter.
But Okada didn't place much importance on his background; he was also aware of Bisashas' ambitions, but what of it?
With his ambitions, even in front of Okada, he had to behave himself.
However, as the Rocket Team began its reforms, Bisashas' opposition grew louder.
After all, he was originally a Pokemon hunter, and he had joined the Rocket Team to earn money more conveniently. Now that the Rocket Team was undergoing reforms, his profits had been drastically reduced.
Okada was well aware of this, but Bisashas still maintained a low profile.
Moreover, he had been active in the wild, dense forests for many years, and had helped eliminate numerous hard-to-find Pokemon hunters.
Additionally, as long as he didn't take the initiative to reveal himself, Okada didn't focus too much attention on him.
But he hadn't expected Bisashas to cross paths with Master Jinghe.
"Did you call him?" Okada asked, crossing his arms as he spoke calmly.
"No one's answering," Shiniao replied helplessly.
This was the reason for her urgency.
As Okada's secretary, she knew Bisashas all too well.
Hearing this, Okada chuckled lightly, "It seems like Bisashas has found a Pokemon that gives him confidence."
"Then what should we do, Boss?"
"What, you don't trust Master Jinghe's strength?"
Bisashas' ability was a significant reason for his position as one of the Rocket Team's highest-ranking executives.
However, Master Jinghe was no longer the same person he had been when they first met; he could now directly confront the Time-Space Twin Dragons in a short time.
"No," Shiniao said, massaging her temples with a wry smile, "I just think Master Jinghe might get really angry."
"Hmm?"
"Master Jinghe hates Pokemon hunters, and Bisashas has always followed their ways. With this conflict, won't Master Jinghe take out his anger on us, the Rocket Team?"
Shiniao had some understanding of Master Jinghe.
If he wasn't genuinely emotional, Master Jinghe wouldn't have sent her the photo.
In the end, neither of them had truly opened up to each other.
They silently understood each other, maintaining a certain level of tacit understanding.
"And more importantly..."
Shiniao added in a low voice.
"I just received news that Bisashas has secretly taken away the defective 'Dark Balls'. If Master Jinghe's Pokemon are forcibly captured or if he gets injured..."
The "Dark Ball" was one of the Rocket Team's research products.
It could ignore a Pokemon's own will and resistance, and it could even capture a Pokemon without considering whether it was already owned by a Trainer.
However, the side effects of the "Dark Ball" were equally severe; captured Pokemon would lose their self-awareness and become extremely violent.
While it could temporarily enhance a Pokemon's strength, it came at the cost of depleting its future potential.
The Rocket Team's research on the "Dark Ball" was primarily intended for Suicune, and secondarily to enhance the strength of Rocket Team members.
But later, Suicune was calmed by Master Jinghe, and Okada also had the idea to reform the Rocket Team, so the research on the "Dark Ball" was halted.
Only a batch of defective products remained, discarded in the warehouse.
Okada lightly tapped the table with his fingers.
"Master Jinghe's heart is not so narrow that he would take out his anger on us."
After a pause, he continued, "However, the possibility of such a situation occurring cannot be ruled out."
Okada narrowed his eyes slightly, gently stroking the Cat Boss.
The Cat Boss seemed to sense Okada's intentions, slowly raising its body and revealing a hint of ferocity.
But Okada smiled and patted the Cat Boss's head, calming it down.
At the same time, he said, "Send Apollo and the other three to provide support."
Shiniao's body trembled.
"All four of them?" she asked in surprise.
They were the Rocket Team's "Four Generals"!
Their status was equivalent to that of the three major executives in the Kanto region: Natsu, Aki, and Masashi.
They virtually controlled most of the Rocket Team in the Joto region.
Shiniao had thought it would be good enough to send one or two of them, but now all four were going.
She quietly retracted her neck, not showing any reaction.
The Boss really values Master Jinghe.
But wouldn't this alarm the League? Okada's smile widened, "You said that Master Jinghe might have a misunderstanding, right? Let's show him the determination of the Rocket Team!"
"And... let's thoroughly resolve this trouble."
"Yes!"
Shiniao immediately accepted the order.
In the Joto region, at the Rocket Team's secret base in Goldenrod City.
Apollo, the leader of the Rocket Team's Four Generals, wore a white suit with a fiery red 'R' on his chest and had short light blue hair.
With one hand behind his back and the other under his chin, he coughed lightly, drawing the attention of the other three in the room.
One of the three was a woman, also wearing the white Rocket Team executive uniform, with long red hair, sitting at the bar.
The other two wore black Rocket Team executive uniforms.
One wore a black hat and leaned against the wall in the shadows.
The other was a middle-aged man with a purple mohawk and a lazy demeanor, sitting on the sofa.
These four people in the room were the Rocket Team's Four Generals in the Joto region: Apollo, Athena, Lance, and Radam.
As their gazes turned to him, Apollo spoke with a hint of seriousness, "The Boss's order is to support the 'Advisor' and eliminate Bisashas."
"Advisor?" Athena was a bit surprised.
They had heard that the Rocket Team had a new highest-ranking executive with the code name 'Advisor', who was highly regarded by Boss Okada, but they hadn't met him yet.
They didn't even see him at the Rocket Team's year-end meeting last year.
She had heard that the Rocket Team's internal reforms were closely related to this 'Advisor', but there was no evidence.
And now, they were sending all four generals at once, which seemed to indirectly confirm this.
Leaning against the wall, Lance chuckled softly, adjusting his hat, "I've always said that Bisashas likes to court death, but I never expected him to provoke the 'Advisor'."
"Ah la la—"
Radam, lounging on the sofa, stretched lazily, "The boss's orders can't be refused."
Apollo was pleased with the attitude of the three.
The Rocket Team belonged to Boss Okada, and Bisashas, who often dared to say "no" to Boss Okada, had long been a thorn in Apollo's side.
"Then let's go, the four of us. What about the League?" Athena asked.
As soon as she spoke, Lance and Radam's smiles deepened.
Apollo also smiled.
"In that case, let's give the League a little scare."
The Johto League did indeed become tense due to the Rocket Team's actions.
In fact, all the Gym Leaders in the Johto League gathered for an emergency meeting because of this.
What was the Johto Rocket Team up to? Jinghe let out a soft sigh as he watched Bisashas take out his phone and then put it away.
It seemed that Shiniao's "face" was no longer effective.
But upon reflection, it made sense.
Perhaps in Bisashas' eyes, he had already found Timeleap, and as long as he captured Timeleap again and mastered its power, he could ignore Okada and take control of the Rocket Team.
So, at this moment, he didn't bother answering the call from Shiniao, who represented Okada.
"Damn!"
Bisashas clenched his teeth and took out a small black ball from the hole in his armor. He pressed a button, and the ball transformed into a pitch-black Poke Ball with a faint arc of light flickering on its surface.
A Dark Ball!
By repeatedly ignoring Shiniao's calls, he was effectively cutting off his retreat.
If he couldn't capture Timeleap this time, he might have to hide in the mountains and return to his life as a Pokemon Hunter.
He threw the Dark Ball.
In the midst of a hazy fog, a Banijia appeared before him.
This Banijia had a deeper gaze than the average Banijia, and its aura was particularly volatile.
"Yo!"
The sight of this Banijia excited the Piplup.
Wasn't this its final evolution?
"Bangi!"
However, the Banijia seemed to be in a foul mood. It roared and then lifted its foot, slamming it down with force.
Stomp!
Boom!
The ground shook violently, and a writhing rock path rushed towards the Piplup at an incredible speed.
"Yo?"
The Tyrogue instinctively lifted its foot to stomp back, greeting its fellow species.
"Gramps!" Jinghe's voice called out.
"Hngga~"
Gramps appeared beside the Tyrogue in an instant, grabbing the little one by its armpit and lifting it up.
Avoiding the sudden attack from the Banijia.
"Hngga!"
After setting the Tyrogue down, Gramps pointed at it.
Little one, didn't you see what just happened? That was an attack from the green-shelled beetle over there.
"Bangi? (⊙_⊙)?"
Green-shelled beetle?
Me?
"Hngga!" Gramps pointed at the Banijia.
That's you!
Bullying our little treasure.
"Bangi!"
The Banijia roared in anger.
Bisashas smirked, "Even with your strength, how many Pokemon can you hold off?"
As he spoke, he pressed a button on the device beneath him.
Instantly, numerous dark Dark Balls shot out from the mechanical switches, capturing the surrounding wild Pokemon.
Even those wild Pokemon that hadn't had a chance to escape, such as Nidoking, Bronzong, Rampardos, Golem, and others with decent strength, couldn't escape the Dark Balls.
"Piplup!"
Seeing these wild Pokemon being captured inexplicably, Timeleap behind Jinghe immediately wanted to fly out to save them.
Fortunately, Jinghe reacted quickly and grabbed it.
Running out like that would be like delivering themselves to the enemy.
"Hahaha—"
Bisashas laughed and threw out his Dark Ball again, summoning Maniula, Jujian Tanglang, and other Pokemon.
In an instant,
The numbers on both sides became vastly different.
"Sir, I'll help you!" Daku Xuecheng finally reacted and ran to Jinghe's side, taking out his ancient-looking Poke Ball.
"No need."
Jinghe stopped him.
If his Pokemon were also captured by Bisashas, it would be troublesome.
Just looking at the current situation—
"Awoo~~"
Ice Nine-Tailed howled softly and landed gracefully beside Jinghe. Its snowy tail slowly unfurled, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
"Cha!"
Gigaforg, carrying a hammer, calmly shook his head twice.
"Huru~"
Martial Bear Master took out the brass knuckles that Gigaforg had recently forged for it and put them on, waving them in the air.
"Wooo!"
The sound of the Swift Dragon came from the sky, and it was already wearing a blue-purple dragon cloak.
I'll go first!
Dragon Dive!
"Huru!"
Martial Bear Master roared.
How dare you take my "Vanguard" role!
But despite his words, it immediately buffed the entire team with "Guidance."
"Gugu!"
Charcoal Little Servant stood in front of Jinghe.
This time, it was temporarily responsible for protecting Jinghe's safety.
Bisashas was amused by their audacity.
With such a significant "advantage," the other side dared to initiate the attack?
He waved his hand, and a large number of wild Pokemon surged towards Jinghe and his team.
"Gramps, let's put them to sleep," Jinghe's voice called out.
"Hngga!"
Gramps grinned, rubbing his hands together, and a black sphere formed. Then, numerous small black balls shot out from it, enveloping the controlled wild Pokemon.
"This..." Daku Xuecheng's expression froze.
Was this a move Gramps could use?
I may not have read many books, but don't lie to me.
The wild Pokemon that were enveloped quickly fell into a deep sleep.
This not only surprised Daku Xuecheng but also shocked Bisashas.
This...
But he soon sneered, "This Gramps is not bad, I'll take it!"
As he spoke, he immediately threw a Dark Ball at Gramps.
However, in the next second,
He froze.
As he watched,
"Hngga!"
Gramps opened his mouth, and to everyone's surprise,
He swallowed the Dark Ball!
