A terrifying revelation

The rest of the day was spent peacefully. Rex had Mordred take care of every team member that got near him and the girls.

Ten minutes later they found themselves back at the hotel, the twins were exhausted and half asleep by the end of it. Elesa had a satisfied smile on her face as she watched the two.

She then turned to Rex who seemed to still be full of energy, "thank you, Rex, it has been a wonderful day. I'll take these two sleepyheads back to our room. goodnight," she said, giving him a kiss before disappearing into an elevator.

Rex also made his way to his room to sleep. Tomorrow would be a busy day.

In the team rocket base underneath viridian gym.

Inside a wide room, Giovanni sat, staring at a grunt who was shaking in front of him. He massaged his temples as he tried to calm himself down.

"So… repeat the last part to me again." He said through gritted teeth.

The grunt shook like a leaf in a hurricane and nodded vigorously, "b-boss, all 3 squads have disappeared after being sent to monitor the kid. Their vital signs have flatlined one after the other. We suspected something or someone killed them."

Giovanni felt his forehead throb as his face turned red, then green before settling on purple as he slammed his hand in the table and stood up.

"HOW THE FUCK IS HE DOING THIS!" he roared. He was frustrated, he had his grunts go over the camera footage, but noticed that certain parts were deleted. Coincidentally, it was these parts that he was after.

He was both angry and slightly scared at the hacking power of this person. In such a small margin of time, they were able to stitch everything together.

"… Giovanni, you need to relax buddy, the kid will soon disappear. All your problems will be dealt with." said a voice from a dark corridor to the left. Giovanni shuddered slightly at the sound of that person's voice. His head snapped to the left and through the darkness, two pairs of eyes could be seen getting closer.

One was red, and the other was purple. The latter towered 4 meters above the ground as it stared at Giovanni like prey.

This sensation gave him the chills.

The sound of footsteps hitting the metal floor rang out along with the low thud of something heavy taking a step.

A man, no older than 25 came out, black hair and red eyes. a wicked smiling on his face. he had a black trench coat on and black gloves on. Black plants on and black shoes.

"Then I can rest assured knowing you have something planned," Giovanni said while bowing his head to hide his hatred.

The mystery man took a seat casually and looked at the monitor showing Rex's face and his details.

"Such a strong lad, lots of talent. It's really a shame he has to die. I would have considered offering him a position, but he really has gotten annoying as of late. So, it's about time I exterminate this little bug." He said with a slight smile.

Rex woke up the next day feeling refreshed and relaxed. He had a great sleep and was now ready to finish his gym challenge once and for all. He took a quick shower, got changed in his usual outfit and hopped out of his room with a spring in his step.

Beep!

[I have detected the presence of two additional people in the team rocket hideout. I believe them to be the mystery man and his Pokémon. based on some quick calculations on size and muscle density, a rudimentary analysis has been completed. This Machamp is stronger than your own by a large margin in pure power alone. Its age is already exceeding a decade. In a one v one, you would lose without a doubt.] Gaia said to Rex's absolute shock. It was so shocking he tripped over his foot and faceplanted on the ground.

But he couldn't care less about the pain. this news shook him to his core. He knew how heaven-defying his Machamp already was, the new move, Olympus descent was simply horrifying, but to receive the news that it was still far from enough, really made him feel scared for his life.

If he didn't have a backup plan consisting of multiple legacy tier Pokémon, ho-oh and Lugia, he would have lost. and his life, forfeit.

'Fuck! Gaia, chances of victory based on my current maximum strength." He asked.

[75%. It would have been about 60% previously, but Mordred is an existence that is beyond the current Machamp. He alone could contend with that man's Machamp for a while due to his ability. This percentage would have been higher if shattered heaven; apocalypse wasn't on cooldown. A simple hells chains and a meteor would be enough to delete him from existence. Sadly, that is not the case.]

'Fuck! I missed my chance all to play a prank on my Pokémon! *sigh* fine, whatever, I have four legacy Pokémon and he has one yet it's still not 100%. Why?'

[Time has not been on your side. You have only had several months of training; he has had more than a decade. It is not comparable. Even with a full legacy, Mordred has not fully grown to maximum potential. He is still far from his peak. This cannot be said for abyssal Machamp. He is already incredibly close to the level 100 baseline.]

'Fuck, he's that strong!? I'm at least 30 levels behind!' Rex complained.

[that cannot be helped sadly. There is also the possibility that he has a hidden trump card. It's already astounding that you got this strong in such little time. we hold the element of surprise. If we play our cards right, we have a high chance of winning.] Gaia said seriously.

"Damn, I'll have to tread carefully,' he mumbled to himself as his face turned incredibly solemn at this moment.

An: I feel like it makes sense. When high potential and hard work are put together, it trumps a group high potential pokemon without enough training. Plus, it's no ordinary legacy pokemon. it's a god damn machamp. still an op pokemon. hope this makes sense. if you feel it doesn't please comment and tell me why. if there is anything I can change or help you understand, I am more than happy to do so.

In any case, love you all, have a nice day/night and please join the discord with the link in the synopsis. take care!
