Chapter 85 A rat is a rat, it runs fast!
"Hoo..."
Apollo reached out to take out the third Poké Ball.
Lance naturally wouldn't let the opponent continue. Dragonite suddenly charged forward, its face showing a hint of ferocity, completely unlike the Pokémon of an Elite Four member, its whole body filled with murderous intent.
"Crappy, Wing Attack." Crobat
moved its body, its wings emitting a white light in the darkness, attacking Dragonite's body at extremely high speed.
A Flying-type wing attack.
"Thunder Punch."
The next second, Dragonite unleashed Thunder Punch, both fists covered in lightning, and punched out.
Crobat had already been hit by Thunderbolt and didn't have much combat ability.
This punch directly finished Crobat off. Crobat crashed into the wall and fell down, its eyes glazed over, completely unable to battle.
"Trash is trash... This kind of strength doesn't even deserve to hurt my dragon?!"
Just as Lance was about to attack again, he suddenly heard a sound from behind.
Countless air blades attacked from behind Lance.
Lance sensed the danger, but his expression didn't change much. He said coldly, "Dragonite."
As soon as Lance finished speaking,
Dragonite appeared behind him, blocking the air blades.
The air blades touched Dragonite's body, attacking repeatedly and creating small explosions. The strong winds blew the surrounding documents and materials around them, but Dragonite blocked all the winds behind Lance.
Bai Yu was standing relatively far away, so the strong winds didn't pose much of a threat to him.
This sudden change, another Flying-type move...
Could it be that Apollo had left behind a Crobat?
"Lance... I thought you died in the control room."
Apollo knew immediately who had come.
It was Lance, one of the Four Generals.
Since Lance hadn't come out to rescue him and remained in the monitoring room, Apollo assumed that guy had already escaped with Team Rocket, leaving him to cover the retreat...
If Giovanni hadn't been in the president's office, Apollo believed that Lance would definitely have done something like that. He didn't care about any of that; in his eyes, besides Giovanni, there was only himself.
"You think I had it easy? I almost died at the hands of that traitor! If I hadn't had my Thunder Ball, I might have..."
Lance felt a wave of fear wash over him. He was almost torn to shreds. Before he could finish speaking,
Lance watched helplessly as his Crobat was struck by lightning and fell from the sky. The previous battle had drained Crobat of its strength, and it had just been about to seek Apollo's help when it realized there were others here...
Lance glanced at the Dragonite, then looked again at the Electivire not far away.
More than one Elite Four level trainer?
When did Goldenrod City get so many Elite Four level trainers?
Wasn't it said that no one would visit Goldenrod City for a while?!
Who said Goldenrod City was safe today? How did they gather their intelligence?! Damn it!!
"Don't know... do villains die from talking too much?"
Bai Yu said with a hint of mockery, looking at Lance who had walked up to Apollo.
That lightning strike was naturally released by Electivire.
Bai Yu came to the Silver Company building looking for a Master Ball, not to listen to the two Team Rocket executives boasting.
Lance's strength is somewhat weaker than Apollo's.
Given his type advantage, defeating a half-crippled Elite Four-level Crobat shouldn't be too difficult, at least easier than dealing with Apollo's Crobat.
Bai Yu is more worried about Sabrina.
Knowing Sabrina's personality, she probably won't let Lance escape.
Her Alakazam is considered one of the best among the Elite Four.
The next second, a powerful psychic force forcibly changed Lance's trajectory.
Lance was directly thrown upwards by the psychic force and crashed heavily into the wall.
Apollo threw out his Poké Ball.
A Weezing appeared on the field.
As soon as Weezing entered the field, it released a thick fog.
"Dragonite, flap your wings and clear away this fog!"
In an instant, the entire floor was covered in fog. In such an environment, dispersing the fog was very difficult. By the time the fog gradually dissipated, Apollo and Lance were already gone. "Those rats from Team Rocket... their escape skills are as astonishing as ever."
Lance's tone was filled with disgust.
He was prepared to catch these two rats, but they still managed to escape.
Team Rocket has been wreaking havoc in the Kanto Region and Johto Region for so long, and few have been able to capture their high-ranking officers. These guys' escape abilities are definitely top-notch.
"Psychic?" Lance raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the woman approaching. "If I'm not mistaken, you're Sabrina, the Gym Leader of Goldenrod City?"
Lance had always maintained an attitude of annihilation towards those scumbags from Team Rocket.
Weak beings didn't deserve to control Pokémon.
Moreover, an organization that wanted to sell Pokémon should be completely destroyed and crushed.
Lance had a different attitude towards trainers with slightly stronger abilities and potential, especially since Sabrina belonged to the Kanto League.
One of the eight major gyms in Kanto, her strength far exceeded the gym level.
"I wonder what advice you have for me, Elite Four member?"
Sabrina wasn't impressed with Lance and didn't want to address him as Champion.
In the Kanto Region, apart from Professor Oak, no champion has ever been crowned.
Lance's champion comes from the Johto League, and he is not currently affiliated with Kanto.
"You're quite good. If you want to become an Elite Four member, the Johto League can always reserve a spot for you."
"As far as I know, only the one from the Sinnoh Region can unleash the full potential of psychic abilities like you. Such talent is somewhat wasted on a Gym Leader."
Lance's tone was calm, but his words carried an undeniable air of authority.
He wanted to recruit Sabrina, not the Kanto Elite Four member, but the Johto Elite Four member.
Compared to the Kanto League, the Johto League still had two vacant Elite Four members, one of whom was temporarily managed by Shiba. The League was officially vacant for one Elite Four member, and in Lance's view, Sabrina definitely had the qualifications.
He also wanted to recruit the former Fuchsia Gym Leader, Kikko.
In Lance's opinion, Kikko's strength was definitely at the Elite Four level.
After recruiting Sabrina, Lance's next target would naturally be Kikko.
As long as Kikko became one of the Johto League's Elite Four members.
Lance will also relinquish his position as a Kanto Elite Four member,
becoming a true regional champion.
"Johto isn't far from Kanto… If you've thought it through, you can come find me at the League headquarters."
Lance finished speaking and walked towards the president's office.
He stopped at the door, giving Bai Yu a deep look.
In Lance's mind, Bai Yu was a trainer with considerable potential.
A trainer he'd never heard of, capable of raising Pokémon to Elite Four level.
Such talent...who knows how far he might go in the future.
"Arrogant fellow."
Sabrina had no interest in what Lance was saying.
If she wanted to become an Elite Four member, she would have replaced Agatha as the new Kanto Elite Four member a year ago.
Compared to being an Elite Four member, Sabrina preferred being by someone's side.
Thinking of this, Sabrina looked up at that person.
"Let's go..." Bai Yu frowned as he looked at the CEO's office. "Let's go rescue the staff who haven't been dealt with yet, so we won't cause any more trouble for Lance."
Bai Yu knew very well that in the special episode's battle power rankings, no one in the Kanto Region could suppress Giovanni. Even in the Johto Region, Giovanni was not at a disadvantage against Luffy.
Luffy was definitely at Champion level, or even beyond. He could freeze a Suicune into an ice sculpture; that kind of strength alone was already a level above the Elite Four.
Not to mention, Luffy had even fought against a Legendary player...
In Bai Yu's memory, Lance's proud dragon race seemed to have been easily defeated by Giovanni's Beedrill. Even Lance couldn't defeat him, so Bai Yu's actions wouldn't change anything.
Besides, the Master Ball inside the Silver Company hadn't been found yet.
They couldn't waste any more time. If the police entered the Silver Company building and took control, then forget about the Master Ball. They probably wouldn't even be able to get the Red and White Balls.
