"You even know who the leader of Team Galactic is?"
When Mikkelsen learned that the leader of Team Galactic was actually a well-known entrepreneur, it was now Mikkelsen's turn to be surprised.
"What's so strange about that? Don't you know who the leaders of Team Lava and Team Ocean are? Don't they have any legitimate identities on the surface?" Lu Sha rolled his eyes and asked back.
The true identity of the leader of the evil organization may be a secret to the general public, but it is almost public knowledge among the upper echelons of the alliance and powerful families.
After all, all trainers bear responsibility for the growth and expansion of underground forces in various regions to their current state.
"Haha, this is really not a pleasant topic."
Mikoli gave an awkward laugh, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes, clearly having been hit where it hurt.
Lu Sha pursed her lips. Judging from her reaction, she was well aware of the mess in her own region.
Where there is light, there will inevitably be shadows. As long as people have desires, the gray areas can never be completely eliminated.
The stricter and more rigid the rules and regulations of the alliance, the more it will force some people to take risks and meet their needs through underground channels.
In this world, every high-ranking member of the alliance appears glorious and illustrious on the surface.
But behind the scenes, who can guarantee that their family or faction hasn't had any intricate dealings with these shady industries?
Even Lu Sha felt that some of the alliance's regulations were overcorrection and seriously out of touch with reality.
For example, one of the rules that Professor Oak and his team established when they founded the League:
New trainers' starting Pokémon can only be issued and sold by the League.
To obtain Pokémon in the future, trainers can only catch them in the wild themselves or purchase Pokémon eggs through the League. Private trading of live Pokémon is strictly prohibited.
To be fair, the initial intention was good.
Firstly, it's to prevent Pokémon from being maliciously sold and abused. Secondly, it's to protect those ignorant fools from impulsively going to the wild to their deaths in their quest to become trainers, or from being swindled by unscrupulous merchants.
However, the reality is that the League's meager training facilities cannot meet the needs of the ever-growing, exponentially increasing number of trainers.
As a result, various ways of exchanging items by exploiting loopholes in the system emerged.
For example, you could sell a Caterpie egg that's about to hatch for 5000 million, and then trade it for a Dratini once the Caterpie has hatched.
The entire process is absolutely legitimate and legal, guaranteeing that new trainers can register with the league, and we can even help with the registration process.
Organizations capable of doing this kind of thing are at least at the level of Team Lava and Team Ocean; there are very few of them in this region. They are not ordinary evil organizations that don't even deserve to have names.
Among them, those like Chiri, who bring their own capital to the market, are rare exceptions.
The leaders of most evil organizations are often trainers who have gone astray and are either near-Champion or even Champion-level trainers.
They may have started as Pokémon hunters for profit, but as their power snowballed, they eventually evolved into an evil organization.
Those leaders with clear principles and dreams will gradually mold their organizations into the largest villainous force in the region.
It's not that every villain has lofty ideals, but only an organization with a certain belief can unite its subordinates and work for a long time; otherwise, they are just a bunch of hot-blooded scoundrels.
In this respect, Mikkel's position is undoubtedly biased towards orthodoxy and justice.
Although he was aware of the undercurrents and corruption beneath the surface, he personally abhorred these sordid transactions from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Sha didn't talk much, but just followed the lead of Mikoli and casually echoed her words.
While the two were chatting, Gadriya had already used her mental power to thoroughly explore the entire crystal space once again.
After confirming that there were no more hidden traps around and that the power source of the mechanical equipment had been completely cut off, everyone's attention was refocused on the imprisoned Arknom.
Although the threat of explosion has been eliminated, Arknom's current condition remains a cause for concern.
Judging from the frenzied mental fluctuations radiating from its body, it has fallen into a state of extreme mania and chaos.
Even without the connection to the young lady's superpowered perception, just by looking at its small limbs convulsing and twisting in pain, and its bloodshot eyes devoid of any reason, Lu Sha could sense its terrible predicament.
At this moment, Arknom looked as if he had been locked in a small white room for months without sleep, and was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
"Click! (How do I open this thing? Like defusing the bomb earlier, do I just force it open?)"
Lu Sha just stared at the crystal ball, her body motionless, showing no intention of moving forward.
Judging from the Galactic Team's ultimate goal, they couldn't possibly really want to kill Arknom, so they naturally wouldn't strap a bomb to the cage.
Compared to them, Akari is probably more afraid of something happening to Arknom.
Legend has it that when a Pokémon dies, it's gone forever, unlike the tailed beasts in Naruto, which can regenerate after death.
Therefore, the possibility of tampering with the crystal ball itself is actually the smallest.
but!
They're not the main characters; breaking the cage to save the legendary Pokémon is obviously the job of the main character, Wallace.
"Let me try. It's only right that I take on the task of saving these beautiful creatures."
Mikoli smiled confidently, brushed aside his green bangs, and strode forward.
Seeing that the other party was willing to serve, Lu Sha happily pulled the young lady back half a step.
Under Mikkuri's elegant command, Milotic's long tail instantly whipped up a torrent of water.
With a muffled "bang," a powerful jet of water slammed violently into the crystal ball.
Perhaps due to the loss of energy supply, the crystal ball's structure was unexpectedly fragile.
Under the heavy blow of the Heavenly King-level water jet, accompanied by a series of crackling sounds, the translucent sphere's surface instantly shattered like a spider web.
"Now's the time! Let's unleash our most magnificent finishing blow!"
Mikoli flicked her bangs again, pointing her arm straight forward.
"Meow!"
Milotic unleashed another Water Tail attack on the cracked crystal ball.
This time, the crystal ball could no longer withstand the pressure and shattered completely with a deafening explosion.
The sky was filled with evenly distributed crystal fragments, which fell like the first snow of winter. Reflected by the water, these fragments resembled starlight and swirled around Milotic's magnificent body, making it look exceptionally beautiful.
That's incredible. Even rescuing a Pokémon requires a grand entrance.
Looking at the scene before him, Lu Sha couldn't help but secretly admire Mikoli's professionalism.
"Hey!!!"
However, after breaking free of their cages, instead of gratitude for regaining their freedom, they were met with a piercing, manic shout.
Something feels off.
Lu Sha's heart tightened.
He couldn't detect a trace of positive emotion in that voice; instead, he sensed a violent and insane rage that wanted to destroy everything.
The Galactic Team is truly ruthless to torment a legend that symbolizes will into such a wretched state.
"Click! (Team Galactic, you guys are really something!)"
Looking at the Arknom, which had escaped from the ruins but whose eyes were still bloodshot, Lu Sha couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Young Miss!"
At the same time, Lu Sha shouted a warning in the mental connection.
Almost at the same time, a bright blue light shone in Cattleya's emerald green eyes.
Just before the suppressed superpowers within Arknom erupted, she suddenly waved her hand, and the invisible telekinesis transformed into a giant hand, grabbing Mikkuri's body and dragging him backward for more than ten meters.
"Hey!"
The moment Mikkuri's feet left the ground, an extremely terrifying surge of super energy erupted from Arknom's small body!
Supernatural powers!
Deep purple energy ripples swept outwards like a nuclear shockwave.
Wherever it passed, the sturdy mechanical circuits, metal pipes, and even the surrounding crystal walls all shattered inch by inch under the force of this violent power.
If Mikkuri had been pulled back even half a second slower, he would have been torn to shreds by that supernatural force, even with Milotic protecting him.
Thank you!
Mikoli steadied himself and glanced at the spot where he had just stood, his back instantly soaked with cold sweat.
At the same time, without the slightest hesitation, he immediately shouted, "Melnas, use our aesthetics to awaken Arknom!"
The situation is now clear: Arknom has completely lost his mind and is in a state of indiscriminate berserk rage.
The only way to calm this legend down and get him to listen is to physically subdue him with force.
That last blow almost killed him.
Although he has three Elite Four level Pokémon, he himself is not at that level yet and cannot withstand attacks from Elite Four level moves.
Moreover, the power of Azelf's attacks after it goes berserk far exceeds the level of ordinary Elite Four Pokémon.
"Meow!"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Milotic spewed out a water cannon from its mouth, resembling a roaring water dragon.
Having just escaped and still disoriented, Arknom had no awareness of dodging and was hit head-on by this heavy cannon.
boom!
With a painful groan, its petite body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the distant crystal cliff, creating a dent.
"Hey!"
Azelf struggled to rise slowly from the rubble, its crimson eyes seemingly about to bleed as it locked onto Milotic, who was attacking it.
"Milotic, continue to let it experience our splendor!"
Mikuri looked serious and waved his hand, causing Milotic to once again conjure a powerful water cannon.
But this time, the water cannon had barely passed through the air when it was intercepted by an illusionary beam of light shot from between Arknom's eyebrows.
Two beams of energy, one blue and one purple, collided violently in mid-air.
After a brief standoff, it finally exploded with a deafening roar.
The terrifying aftershocks transformed into a raging wind, carrying debris and moisture that surged wildly in all directions.
Seeing this, Lu Sha subconsciously took two steps back and shielded the young lady in front of him.
He's not a combatant today; he's just an adorable little shark responsible for carrying its eggs.
They were all at the Heavenly King level; there wasn't a single one he could bully.
At the same time, the blue light in Gadriya's eyes became tangible, and an invisible psychic barrier instantly unfolded in front of the two of them, with the energy ripples being easily dispersed.
In terms of absolute strength, the young lady is the strongest in the entire arena.
"Click! (Need any help? The kind with auto-targeting and completely free combat power!)"
Lu Sha poked his big head out from above Cattleya's head and shouted at Mikoli, who was fighting hard in front of him.
"It's far from that point. Azelf in such an unattractive state is no match for me and Milotic."
We will use our beauty...
Before he could finish speaking, the blue light in Arknom's crimson eyes surged to its limit.
The next second, an overwhelming, invisible repulsive force slammed into Milotic.
With a muffled "bang," the massive Milotic was sent flying like a rag doll.
Its massive body smashed through several thick crystal pillars before finally crashing heavily onto the crystal cliff to the side.
With a loud cracking sound, countless sharp crystal fragments fell from the dome, instantly burying Milotic in the ruins.
"Cut? (Are you sure... you really don't need help?)" Lu Sha swallowed and asked again, seemingly out of kindness.
He glanced furtively at Milos, who was struggling to get up from the rubble, and then at Mikuri, whose face looked extremely pale.
Judging from the brief exchange just now, there is a significant gap between the two sides.
Even Lu Sha could see that even in its weakened and berserk state, Azelf was probably strong enough to easily defeat two Milotic.
"Maybe... there is indeed a little pressure. How should we cooperate? I can take the lead." Mikoli coughed awkwardly.
Milotic is no match for them.
If we were to throw out a Poké Ball at this point to fight two against one, the scene would be too ugly. It would be better to just accept Lu Sha's off-field assistance.
Upon hearing this, Lu Sha immediately perked up: "Click! (I'll be the main attacker, you support! Volcano, Dance of Fire!)"
Almost simultaneously, Lu Sha commanded the Fire God Moth of the Wheat Leaf King.
Although he himself is a complete weakling, he has outside help at his disposal!
As for having the young lady personally participate?
If there's even a minor scratch... cough cough, the young lady has to take charge of keeping things under control. With two Elite Four level trainers and Elite Four level Pokémon, there's no need for the young lady to personally intervene.
Azelf is definitely much stronger than the previous Regirock, but their lineup is completely different now, and Azelf's condition is quite problematic.
If you still can't beat them, you might as well just run away.
Anyway, Arknom has already escaped, so even if they don't use force to wake him up, he will wake up on his own in a few days.
"fire!"
Upon receiving the command, the Volcano moth let out a rousing chirp and its three pairs of broad wings flapped violently.
In an instant, its body burst into dazzling golden flames, like a small sun piercing the darkness, and with the momentum of a moth drawn to a flame, it rushed toward Arknom, trailing a long tail of flame.
"Hey!"
Faced with the charging Volcarona, Azelf once again let out a sharp, piercing screech, and its immense psychic power transformed into an invisible, solid barrier in front of it, attempting to stop the blazing fireball from getting closer.
Even when unconscious, instinct is still frantically warning it.
This charging fire volcano is at least twice as dangerous as Milotic.
