Ditto doesn't move

"But it's never a bad thing to do more preparation."

Xia Ming sighed softly and reached out to rub the head of the still somewhat bewildered young cook:

"Thank you, Mao."

Previously, Mao would have been a little embarrassed, but now she can accept praise and gratitude with ease, although she still doesn't know what Mr. Xia Ming and Professor Oak are talking about.

Professor Oak, who was clearly still somewhat unconvinced because there were no concrete examples, twitched the corner of his mouth but said nothing more.

This is what Cynthia never understood: why people can never truly understand each other.

Even if some things are said, the two sides may not be able to reach an agreement due to their different positions and perspectives.

Unfortunately, the evidence Professor Oak wanted was about to arrive.

The phone rang, and the young cook took out her phone. On the video call, Mamane, looking both excited and anxious, sent out a preview:

"Mao, we've found them! Just as you said, the island king and everyone else have indeed been found!"

Professor Oak, who had been listening nearby, curiously came closer.

What did you find?

The screen kept switching, but it was clear that all of them were scenes of battle.

"Luckily, I still have some influence at the police station. What a coincidence!"

Xia Ming briefly took the phone from Mao's hand and showed it to Professor Oak, whose curiosity was piqued.

In the scene, the island kings are working together with Junsa and her large force to block the attack of people wearing R uniforms, while the island's guardian deities are roaring angrily behind them.

It's the Rockets again.

Even Professor Oak couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

As a true Kanto native, I don't need to ask; just by looking at their uniforms, I know that Team Rocket must have some evil plan in Alola.

However, this was not enough to impress Professor Oak.

Xia Ming, the Martial God, responded simply by giving the other party a look, indicating that they should continue watching.

The scene quickly switched back and forth between the four islands, finally settling on the group on Ponne Island.

This also shows that the Alora region is a land of outstanding people and resources.

Three Heavenly Kings—Mariin, Merdan, and Hala—have gone to Pony Island alone. Including Aserola, Kashiri, and Hapuu, who are fighting on other islands, the number of Heavenly King-level fighters on the mainland has reached six.

And if Professor Oak isn't mistaken, besides Tapu Fini, there's another character in the Poni Island team who doesn't hide their presence at all.

Mewtwo is a man-made legendary Pokémon.

Such a combination should be able to easily suppress any legendary Pokémon riots, but in the scene shown, the team from Poni Island is actually at the most disadvantaged in the battle.

Because they were facing the Rockets' senior officers and a fleet of airships.

"Have the Rockets pulled out all the stops?"

Professor Oak had already sensed something was amiss.

But Xia Ming, the Martial God, did not answer him. Instead, he comforted Mao, who was clearly becoming uneasy.

"Don't worry, you've already completed this adventure on your own, and it's nearing its end now, Mao."

Now it was Professor Oak's turn to be confused.

Fortunately, the Supreme Alliance members behind him were not all old guys who were just coasting along.

Just as they noticed this turn of events, the Supreme Alliance mobilized its forces and quickly obtained information from their moles sent to the Ultimate Cave Research Department, and made inferences.

The Rockets seem to be trying to open the Ultimate Hole.

Although it seems that the plan has been thwarted just as it began, based on their understanding of Sakaki, such a large-scale mobilization must mean there is a backup plan.

"How about we go and help out on-site?"

As he listened silently to the message coming through the communicator, Professor Oak's ominous premonition grew stronger.

But Xia Ming showed no intention of moving, and instead changed the subject:

Throughout history, many people have discussed fate.

"Some people believe that fate does not exist, some people do not believe in fate and only think about resisting it, and some people choose to submit to fate."

"And I think that fate... is probably like a time bomb that has been planted in advance. Once it is planted, it will naturally become a high-probability fact."

"You...what do you want to say?"

"What I mean is, the Rockets have just planted another mine, which we defused in advance, but the real mine wasn't planted by them."

In the scene, facing the Heavenly King and the others who had been attacked for a long time without success, the airship flying in the sky seemed to finally get impatient and issued a new command.

The large equipment buried in the ground suddenly stopped, as if accepting its fate, and began to draw power at full power or even overclock.

Then, cracks began to appear in the sky, and faint fragments of lightning floated in the air.

The largest and most numerous group of ultimate caverns in history is gradually taking shape thanks to the efforts of both inside and outside the group, until a cracking sound, like glass shattering, clearly reaches everyone's ears.

The first passage has been officially completed.

Then came the second, the third...

As the passage took shape, bursts of dazzling, colorful meteors flew out of the Ultimate Cave.

"cool."

Xia Ming, the Martial God, whistled:

"Another kind of meteor shower in the sky, though it's from the enemy."

Team Aqua, Team Magma, Team Flare, Team Galactic, Team Plasma...

Professor Oak's face paled a little more with each villainous organization's uniform he recognized.

Until they saw another super airship rudely emerge from the hole, displaying the same R symbol, only now it had changed from pure crimson to a multicolored array.

Team Rainbow Rocket, here we come!

Volume Two: The Grand Alliance Chapter 184 Xia Ming, the Martial God, Was Not Confused

Yukinari Ōki, male (58 years old), realizes for the first time that rainbows are not only beautiful, but also represent despairing fear.

Too many, far too many.

The passage was established, and the rainbow-colored figures that surged from the sky rained down on the ground like a meteor shower.

Even though the fiercely battling Uranus and the Rockets members immediately stopped and separated, they gradually disappeared into the sea of ​​people.

The sky, the ground, the ocean—all are members of Team Rainbow Rocket, or rather, members of villainous organizations from all regions throughout the series.

They were disciplined and well-trained. Upon arriving in this world, they did not rush out like a rabble, but rather, as if they had planned it all along, each quickly taking over a piece of land.

The uniforms of the various villainous organizations became the best way to distinguish them. The different colored formations came together like a legion ready for battle.

Once a villainous organization that was like a scab, once a villainous organization that had to hide from the League while being hunted down, once a villainous organization that could only stir up a storm by relying on the power of legendary Pokémon...

After conquering dozens of parallel worlds, its size has expanded to the point that just a glance is enough to make people want to back away.

"I……"

Professor Oak wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word, just like the Supreme League members behind him.

I wonder if the conquered worlds were like this, and if such a scene also happened in those parallel worlds where the Elf League exists?

"Summer" (eight) Umbrella Age Research Ling Qijiu Wu Ba Ming Mr..."

Mao nervously tugged at his sleeve. Even though she was full of determination and courage, the little cook, who had never witnessed Team Rainbow Rocket's arrival, couldn't help but worry.

Xia Ming, the Martial God, remained as calm as ever:

"Don't rush, let's see what other plans the Rockets have after making such a crazy move."

Does the Rockets have a backup plan?

Yes, brother, yes.

That's how unfortunate the leader of a villainous organization is; no matter how meticulously planned the scheme, all sorts of unexpected events can always happen.

Since the development of Kanto, whether Ash was involved or not, Giovanni has witnessed enough instances of wild trainers disrupting his plans.

On the airship, the ever-composed Giovanni finally stopped stroking the cat boss, reprimanded his somewhat restless subordinates, and then looked at a small energy cage that his secretary, Makoto, had placed on the table.

“You’ve seen the situation, Zygard.”

"If you don't transform into your strongest form now and use your Order Domain to seal this place off, the whole world will be invaded by them."

"Even in your strongest form, being surrounded by so many trainers and Pokémon, it would be difficult to even maintain order in the area."

"You don't want this world to be conquered like the others, do you?"

"How about it, do you want to go?"

The green, tadpole-shaped Pokémon glared at him angrily and surprisingly uttered a human-like sound:

I'll settle this score with you later!

After saying that, he activated his special ability and issued the highest level of alarm to the entire planet's constituent cells.

Another meteor shower reached this place in just a few breaths.

Only then did Sakaki reveal his usual dangerous yet captivating smile:

“That’s right. Real Bird, go and bring Victini over too, let it see the situation, and it will know what to do.”

"Yes, Lord Sakaki."

Unlike the other members of the organization who were somewhat agitated, the female secretary did not waver in the slightest and continued walking.

However, as he walked, he couldn't help but think of a few idiots, and a cold smile crept onto his lips.

Can you do something like this?

In the end, I am the one most trusted by Lord Sakaki!

However, faced with Team Rocket's countermeasure, Rainbow Rocket and the other villainous organizations did not make any response, and even seemed to have already experienced the same situation before, simply remaining in place.

Aside from the ever-increasing number of members emerging from the Ultimate Hole, they were left to their opponents' whims.

That domineering spirit, where strength reaches a certain level and one no longer cares who the opponent is, is already manifested in even the lowest-ranking members.

The light shield representing the realm of order appeared in the air in a form almost identical to Zygarde's.

Professor Oak, noticing this, also stopped his conversation with the person behind him.

That's good; it seems there's no need to discuss the evacuation of ordinary citizens anymore.

However, other areas must be in complete chaos right now, just like the streets outside.

Without posing any new questions to Xia Ming, Professor Oak seemed to think that anything he said at this moment would be somewhat ineffective. He looked at the manager of the Friendly Store standing behind the counter.

The latter seemed to be watching the television on the wall, which was urgently broadcasting footage of the breaking news.

"Manager, why aren't you running away?"

"Calm down, Professor. I've been through a lot of things like this, giant agate jellyfish, ancient Gengar, and the like. Someone will always step in to handle it."

"That's what the manager of the friendly store said again."

But this only elicited a bitter smile from the doctor.

Will someone really step up and solve this this time?

If even the Supreme Alliance doesn't know how to resolve this, are we supposed to expect children to persuade the other side with love and justice?

For some reason, he suddenly thought of a little boy who loved Pokémon.

Ash, what are you doing right now?

"Mr. Xia Ming..."

Mao tugged at the other person's sleeve a second time, as if wanting to ask something.

After all, rebellion and confidence are two different things.

Scratching his head, Xia Ming Wushen watched the confrontation between Team Rocket and Team Rainbow Rocket on the screen. He wanted to see what Giovanni was planning to do, but he couldn't resist the little girl's pleading eyes.

Furthermore, since Mamane didn't speak on the communicator, the other children must be feeling uneasy to some extent.
