Arrive at the main entrance of the Silver Building.

Something happened that Lu An had never expected.

That is, Sakaki was openly standing at the door waiting for Lu An.

"Sakaki..."

Unlike Lu An, whose expression was solemn, Sakaki spread his hands and smiled:

"What? Lu An, you went out of your way to avoid Apollo just to come find me, didn't you? Why do you seem a little unhappy after seeing me?"

Lu An's eyes were wary:

"You're just going to expose yourself to everyone like this? Aren't you afraid your identity will be completely exposed, and you'll have to live a life of hiding from others from now on?"

Sakaki smiled faintly:

"I just feel that the Rockets will never stop expanding, and you will never stop stopping us."

"If this pace continues, even if I want to hide it, you will eventually force me to reveal it."

"Since that's the case, I might as well just be frank and speak plainly."

As he spoke, a strange expression appeared on Sakaki's face, an expression that made one think at a glance that the man before them was so confident he could pluck the stars from the sky:

"Moreover, Golden City is now under the control of Team Rocket. As long as I can take you down, no one will know that I am the leader of Team Rocket."

Lu An gave a cold laugh:

"You're as confident as ever. Well then, go ahead and give it a try."

In the world of Pokémon, there is a well-known saying:

Trainers will start fighting when their eyes meet.

"Tyranitar, 'Stone Spike'!"

"Banjilashi!"

"Drill-horned rhinoceros, smash them!"

A large, horned creature stretched out its arm and smashed the sharp stones of Bangiras into shapeless fragments.

As for the sandstorms that the Desert Tyrant casually whips up, it doesn't take them seriously at all.

Lu An was well aware that Tyranitar's sandstorm would not harm Giovanni's Ground-type Pokémon.

However, he still put Tyranitar in the first battle because he needed to guard against Giovanni's fragile but high-attack Beedrill.

If, like last time, I were to be nearly ambushed by a Beedrill due to carelessness, it would be too embarrassing.

Although Tyranitar will become the tyrant who will rule the desert in the future, it is still a bit too much to ask it, which has only evolved a few days ago, to fight against Giovanni of the earth.

After only a few exchanges, it was on the verge of collapse under the fierce attack of the rhinoceros with its horned head.

Lu An, with his sharp eyes, retrieved it directly into the ball:

"Swamp Monster, use 'Water Cannon'!"

"Ratchet!"

Even Giovanni's Rhinoceros wouldn't be able to withstand an attack four times weaker than Water, so Giovanni decisively returned it to the ball.

"Magic Masked Cat, now's your chance, 'Lightning Flash'!"

Now it's a life-or-death struggle. Facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, Lu An is not careless in the slightest.

He had long anticipated that Giovanni would recall his Rhinoceros when faced with Swampert's "Water Cannon".

Therefore, the instant he made his move, Lu An, with his even faster hand speed, pulled Swampert back into the ball, replacing it with the Magic Masked Cat, known for its speed.

Their target is Giovanni, the trainer!

However, faced with the little thief's surprise attack, Sakaki smiled confidently and nimbly retreated two steps.

"rub!"

A sharp, piercing sound rang out as a huge, poisonous needle collided head-on with the Magic Masked Cat's paw amidst the misty dust, halting its further advance.

"Rapid U-turn!"

"Meow!"

Seeing that he couldn't take down Giovanni directly, but was instead protected by his ace Beedrill, Lu An wasn't in a hurry and immediately ordered Magic Masked Meow to retreat.

However, since Giovanni's ace had come out against the sandstorm, he had no intention of returning empty-handed.

"Om~"

The enormous poisonous needle pierced straight towards Lu An.

"Eebu!"

A black cat paw, completely different from the magical masked cat, slapped the Beedrill's stinger, knocking it away from Lu An.

It was none other than Ibrahimovic, known for his outstanding defensive abilities!

"Vulcan moth, 'Overheating!'"

"Well!"

Lu An retrieved Umbreon back into its ball and replaced it with his most aggressive Pokémon.

"Beedrill, come back, Golem, 'Big Blast'!"

"Roar!"

As expected, Giovanni threw his most mobile Golem at Volcarona and used "Fire Blast" to withstand Volcarona's attack.

"Well......"

Lu An retrieved the severely injured Volcano Moth back into the ball.

Ultimately, Sakaki's experience and ruthlessness prevailed, and the balance of power shifted.

Lu An suddenly felt his feet sink into the ground.

The hard road beneath his feet had somehow become very soft, making it impossible for him to even step off.

"Gurgle, gurgle."

Not far away, a Dugtrio with the "Sand Burrow" ability was watching him with ill intent.

"Gah!"

However, at that moment, a large black and purple raven descended from the sky. Faced with the final battle against Giovanni, how could Corviknight really give up the fight?

Lu An smiled slightly, reached out and precisely grabbed the Steel-Armored Raven's claws, successfully escaping from the sand hole and landing back on the hard ground.

Seeing this, Giovanni threw out yet another of his Pokémon:

"Nidoking, use Earthquake!"

"Nedo!"

Faced with Sakaki's "earthquake" on the earth, Lu An naturally dared not take it lightly.

However, he wouldn't be afraid of Giovanni because of this, because he was no longer the naive kid who barged into the Viridian Gym.

Beside him, there was also a powerful Ground-type Pokémon!

"Swamp Monster, Earthquake!"

"Ratchet!"

Two powerful shockwaves collided, clashed, erupted, and dissipated underground, turning countless soil, stones, bricks, and tiles into dust under the influence of the two energies.

Even the two individuals who used "Earthquake" felt a sweet taste in their throats and were both retrieved into their respective Poké Balls by their trainers.

"Sakaki, this is my final blow!"

Lu An caught a high-level ball.

Giovanni also caught a regular Poké Ball:

"If I'm not mistaken, the Poké Ball in your hand is probably the Eevee that you rescued from Team Rocket's lab, which hasn't been used in any battles yet, right?"

Sakaki gave a cold laugh:

"The time from when the ball is released to when Sun Ibrahimovic appears is one second, and the time to accumulate his strongest move, 'Psychic,' which can be used in the shortest time, is two seconds."

"The 'strong mental focus' takes two seconds to reach me, and a total of five seconds are required. Within these five seconds..."

Giovanni decisively threw the Poké Ball:

"My beedrill will pierce your throat with its venomous stinger!"

However, faced with Sakaki's confident analysis, Lu An simply smiled and threw out the advanced ball:

"No, Eevee's attack is faster than your Beedrill!"

"Buyi!"

Ever since Lu An visited Emperor Yan and cured Espeon and Umbreon of their genetic disease, their strength has been increasing by leaps and bounds.

That was the foundation they once possessed deep within their genes, and the resources accumulated by Lu An at any cost.

Therefore, the Espeon at this moment is no longer the weak and helpless Espeon that was once unable to withstand top-level battles.

Today, facing its former "enemy" Giovanni, it has finally stepped into the ranks of masters and become a Pokémon that can stand tall and proud!

Moreover, thanks to the genetic modifications Team Rocket made to it, its talent for psychic abilities was finally fully revealed after it became a Master Pokémon!

Its strongest STAB move is not "Psychic", but "Precognition"!

Moreover, it doesn't require two seconds of buildup time at all, as Sakaki thought, but only one second!

"Buyi!"

It has foreseen the real opportunity to win!

"Predicting the future!"

"what!"

To Giovanni's disbelief, the surging psychic power pierced Beedrill's "poison sting," defeated Beedrill, and then poured directly onto him.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Faced with Espeon's psychic power, built up over many years of resentment, even Giovanni of Earth could only collapse to the ground in pain and helplessness, unable to rise again.

“Buyi”.

A fluffy, forked tail rested gently on his neck.

Sakaki had no doubt that if he made the slightest move, that seemingly weak tail would take his life in an instant.

Lu An touched the Espeon beside him, then looked with a complicated expression at Giovanni, who lay on the ground, no longer the imposing figure he once was:

"Sakaki, you lost."
