Corridor 3, end.
There are no other rooms around, and the separate room is very conspicuous.
This is the room of Apollo, the head of the large charity enterprise, Rainbow Group.
"What should I do? Should I knock on the door?"
brock asked, although he already had a good idea in mind.
ash nodded, indicating that the stage should be handed over to the dark-faced burly man.
"Boom boom boom."
So brock knocked on the door, then pinched his throat lightly and said in a coquettish voice:
"Hehehe~ Sir~ Do you need any special service~~?"
ash: "???"
However, no one in the room answered, which put brock, who wanted to stage a classic honey trap, into an awkward situation.
He could grasp the door handle and twist it.
The door is not closed?
Did he go out to dance too?
The two looked at each other, held their breath, and slowly opened the door and entered.
The room was very empty, not even like a room, more like a training ground, with only a square table at the end.
Just as ash was about to approach the square table, a beam of fire suddenly shot out from the side of the shadow. Ash's heart tightened, and he used the Devil's Step of Pallet Town based on his muscle memory and dodged to the side.
"What the hell?"
The flames dissipated, and in the darkness, a pair of eyes glowing red appeared.
A Pokémon in the shape of a puppy slowly walked out from the darkness.
His entire body was pitch black, with a few white bone-like crusts embedded in his ankles and back, and even his forehead seemed to be covered with a white skull.
"Woof!"
It growled at the two of them, baring its teeth and looking ferocious.
"Beep.houndor, a black dog Pokémon, has a vicious temperament and cannot be eaten, but its blood can ward off evil."
The illustrations automatically broadcast the report.
"ash, this looks like a Pokémon from the Johto region, a fire-type. Do you need me to take care of it?"
Gon inquired, which wasn't a big problem for his Rock-type gym.
However, ash's eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand to press down his hat, and said with a smile:
"No, no, there's no such thing as a thief robbing another thief. It just so happens that this guy is itching to do something."
brock: "???"
As he said that, ash threw out his Poké Ball.
"It's decided to be you, Charmander!!"
A red light flashed, and the charmander landed on the ground. It waved its short hands, opened its mouth wide, and the flame on its tail suddenly swelled up.
"Roar!!"
A dragon roar sounded, although it was still a little immature, but ash could faintly feel the breath similar to that of the Charizard above the sea of fog that day.
This room has excellent soundproofing so it won't disturb people outside.
Fire-attribute Pokémon are all very aggressive. As soon as the dragon and the dog met, the flames in their eyes shot out without giving in, and both wanted to defeat the latter completely.
ash waved his finger: "Charmander, take the initiative and use flamethrower!"
"roar!"
The charmander shook its head and a column of flame spurted out, scorching hot.
Unexpectedly, this houndour was not afraid at all, and did not even dodge. He stayed where he was and took the jet of flame with his body.
Puff, puff, puff!
As soon as the flamethrower touched the latter's body, it strangely turned into fiery red hot energy, and was even completely absorbed by the latter in the next second.
ash: "?"
That's impossible. Even if a fire-type Pokémon is resistant to fire, how can it completely ignore it or even absorb it?
"ash, that's the Fire Attraction attribute. It can absorb fire and increase the power of its own fire."
brock quickly reminded.
Pokémon with the fire-attracting characteristic will undoubtedly have an absolute advantage in a fire-attribute civil war.
At this moment, a fiery red glow appeared on Dalubi's dark skin, and his attractive posture was extremely powerful.
"Woof!"
It barked twice with disdain, as if mocking Charmander's arrogance.
This arrogant look made ash and Charmander angry at the same time. The flame on the latter's tail surged again with a "smash" sound, and the flame was even half a head higher than the person!
For a moment, the whole room became hot.
"Woof~!!"
Dalubi still sneered, watching the charmander begin to accumulate red power at its mouth again. It shook its body and released its entire body space again.
Come on!
Breathe fire and fuck me from the front!
Charmander's energy has accumulated to the peak. Ash waved his finger and shouted:
"Good opportunity, Charmander, use Dragon's wrath!"
The next second, fiery red energy burst out of his mouth and turned into a huge orange-yellow fireball, which was powerful and whistled away.
houndour: "???"
When the skill comes, although it is fiery red in color, its attributes have nothing to do with fire.
It's the Dragon's Wrath!!
houndor had no time to react at all. When the Dragon's wrath was about to hit him, he realized that something was wrong with the attributes. When he was about to dodge, the fireball had already rushed towards him.
Boom!
The Dragon's wrath hit head-on, and the radiating dragon energy exploded, with all the force hitting houndour's fragile body.
The floor was even hit with a huge hole, and flames shot up into the sky.
"Wang Wu."
When the smoke cleared, accompanied by a wail, houndour had completely lost his ability to fight and fell to the ground in a daze.
Dragon's wrath is a great skill for novices. As long as the initial form Pokémon has a thin skin, it can be killed instantly with one move no matter how its attribute resistance is improved.
"Good job!"
After succeeding, ash couldn't help but rub Charmander's bald head. The latter was breathing slightly, and it was obvious that the Dragon's wrath had consumed a lot.
But being able to defeat a fire-attribute opponent in a civil war made Charmander extremely excited.
So ash turned his head and looked at brock:
"Teacher brock, this Pokémon matches your skin color quite well. Do you want to capture it?"
"It should be someone else's Pokémon. Never mind. Go check what's on that table. I'm afraid someone is coming to check the water meter."
brock just urged.
The sound of a dragon's wrath cannot be compared to the two barks of houndour.
Does it look like a ferocious watchdog specially left here?
Soon, the two of them walked around the unconscious houndour and came to the square table.
There was nothing else on the table except a thick document.
"A Plan for Robbing the Rich and Achieving Common Prosperity - St. Annus's Activity Strategy Blue Book"
The two of them scratched their heads, not realizing what was going on.
Just rob if you want to rob. Do you have to write a planning application of tens of thousands of words before robbing these days?
Would they need to find a few more angel investors?
The two opened the file, which detailed the class conflicts in the current Pokémon world.
The rich landlords were cruel and the poor peasants suffered terribly.
Therefore, Rainbow Group, as the largest charity organization in Kanto, took action when it was time to act. It planned the luxury cruise of St. Ann, invited countless wealthy people on board, and then carried out the theft when it reached the high seas.
All the money earned will be donated to the most conscientious company in the Kanto region - Team Rocket.
The so-called great heroes serve their country and their people, nothing more than this!
After reading to the end, ash was somewhat infected by this strong sense of patriotism:
"Hey, Mr. Brock, I think this Apollo is quite thoughtful. How about we just pretend we didn't see him?"
brock: "."
Young man, your thinking seems to be crooked.
The next day, Apollo returned to the room.
Seeing houndour falling to the ground and whimpering, he did not panic at all. Instead, he took the ball back with his backhand, with a proud smile on his face as if he was in control of everything.
"Hehe~"
As the smartest general of Team Rocket, he had long guessed that ash would take action last night, and never thought of relying on an ordinary houndour to stop him.
Or, even he might not be able to stop the extremely powerful man named ash.
So he simply didn't stop it.
So last night they danced all night in the hall next door, without any direct conflict with the latter, and even left the strategy book there openly.
The so-called "ruling by doing nothing" is exactly this principle.
The communication between wise men is often so simple and yet full of philosophy.
But when he came to the square table, he saw a few more words on the cover of the plan, and Apollo showed curiosity.
Leave a message? Is this the tacit understanding between wise men, a handshake and peace?
Or do you want to challenge me?
Humph, this battle is inevitable after all.
Then let's fight. He is the best of the younger generation of the Rockets and is not afraid of any challenge!
Apollo snorted arrogantly and took a closer look, only to see two lines of large characters written crookedly on the book.
"Too long to watch, but good plan."
"So is the Rockets still hiring now?"
The handwriting was ugly, which added to the irony.
Apollo: "!?"
Wolf ambitions!
Are you trying to compete with me for the position of successor to Team Rocket?!
This boy is so cunning and treacherous that he must not be allowed to stay!!
His expression became more twisted and angry than ever before!!
