Chapter 438: The Tardy Ye Yangyang

Chapter 438: The Tardy Ye Yangyang

"Lucario, Aura Sphere!"

Latias was still the main force. Under the effects of [Magical Girl] and [One Man Army], her Special Attack at this moment could be said to be completely on par with her peak.

In almost an instant.

The four sixty-something level Crobat in the sky were mercilessly brought under control.

The last Crobat was hit by Water Pulse and Aura Sphere. The high-ranking Team Rocket executive under it changed his expression. As the attacks were about to land, he hastily activated the energy wristband on his hand.

And fell towards the sky below.

In Hikaru's Aura perception, he saw the man summon a Dugtrio in mid-air and swiftly use Dig.

Hikaru paid him no mind.

He was just thinking of letting one person go back to report.

But these other Team Rocket executives...

They would be fun to play with.

"Why... are you here..."

In a situation that was clearly hopeless, Athena finally asked this question.

"Speaking of which, didn't you Team Rocket guys reform? Still doing the business of robbing by force?"

Relaxing, Hikaru's tone also softened, "The two Tyranitar you were trying to catch are my Tyranitar's parents. I just happened to come for a visit and bumped into you."

He even had the leisure to release a bit of Viridian Force onto her arm to prevent her from fainting.

"Happened to..."

Athena felt like cursing, but now that she was in someone else's hands, she had no way to resist at all.

Glancing at the few high-ranking Team Rocket executives who were already under control,

Hikaru asked, "Tell me, why did you come here?"

He added at the end, "My Aura power can detect whether you're lying, so if you think your emotions can fool my Aura, you can give it a try."

Of course, Athena didn't dare to lie again.

She recounted the whole story from beginning to end.

Ever since the last incident, the League had cracked down hard on Team Rocket.

First was in the breeding and acquisition of Pokémon.

Generally speaking, members who joined Team Rocket would be given decent Pokémon to train in the early stages.

This was one of Team Rocket's major methods for attracting new trainers.

And Team Rocket, on the surface, actually had many Pokémon breeding houses and Gyms.

This was the reason why Team Rocket, despite repeated crackdowns, had never been short of fresh blood.

And the League's first cut was aimed right at this. They disbanded a large number of Pokémon houses and also removed a large number of Gym Leaders.

At the same time, most of Team Rocket's rank-and-file members also quit due to this crackdown.

With their scale reduced, in order to expand again, they naturally had to find ways to return to their old business.

But in today's Huaxia, they only dared to act sneakily, finding some remote areas to capture Pokémon.

The Tyranitar on this island were also from a tip given by the pirate crew that had framed Team Rocket before, in order to appease Team Rocket's anger. They had told them about the two Tyranitar on this island.

Because the two Tyranitar were too strong, they could only dispatch her with a small team.

"Well, that's quite a coincidence."

Hikaru chuckled.

His continuously active Aura power suddenly sensed a powerful energy fluctuation rushing this way. With a slight probe, his eyebrows twitched.

It was the Dragon-type national-level Gym Leader of Xiang Province, also known as Ye Yangyang (Ye Rong).

Speaking of which, why is it that the law enforcement always arrives on the scene after the matter is resolved?

With his Dragonite's speed, from the time Hikaru sensed Ye Rong to his arrival was actually only a matter of dozens of seconds. But these dozens of seconds were enough for Hikaru to put Athena on Latias and hide her.

The other high-ranking Team Rocket executives could be handed over, but this Team Rocket Elite Four, Hikaru had great use for her.

"Roar!"

Dragonite let out a long cry, transforming into a streak of orange light and landing above the island. Ye Rong was also stunned at first glance.

He had been entrusted by Xuan Yue, the chairman of the Xiang Province Pokémon League branch, to investigate the whereabouts of the Team Rocket Elite Four, Athena.

Ever since the cruise ship incident last time, the League's surveillance of every Team Rocket Elite Four had become much stricter.

But these past few days, someone had reported that Athena's whereabouts were unknown. Disappearing at the same time were several high-ranking executives.

Coupled with the abnormal energy battle fluctuations from high-level Pokémon appearing on the sea.

So, the League quickly guessed that Team Rocket was up to some dirty tricks again.

This was the best opportunity to grasp evidence of Team Rocket's crimes.

It just so happened that after the New Year, the Gym matters needed to be sorted out, and Ye Rong had also returned to the Xiang Province Gym.

This matter was naturally entrusted to the fastest Dragonite!

"You kid? Why are you here?"

Ye Rong's eyes widened. The scene before him, the few people controlled by Hikaru, were clearly well-known high-ranking executives of Team Rocket registered with the League.

And at this moment, all of their Poké Balls had been confiscated.

The few Elite Four level Crobat beside them had also lost their ability to battle.

Clearly, this was the kid's doing.

But before this, at the Xiang Province League branch, when he was still receiving the commission from Xuan Yue, he had heard her exclaim in amazement—"This Hikaru is really something. Even with Wind City suffering an attack from Lugia, he was able to successfully calm Lugia's anger..."

At the Xiang Province branch, Ye Rong had also seen Lance (A'Du)...

He had originally wanted to go support during that storm, but he hadn't arrived yet.

The matter was already completely resolved.

Which meant that less than an hour ago, Hikaru was still in Wind City.

And an hour later, he was here?

He had to be seeing things.

"Cough cough..."

Hikaru could only pass the buck to Tyranitar, "On a whim, I wanted Tyranitar to meet its parents, so I happened to come here, and then I happened to see Team Rocket's activities, and then I happened to disrupt their operation."

"Banji!"

Below, the Tyranitar family timely let out joyous cries of reunion.

Its mother looked happily at her child, her face full of surprise. She handled its shoulders, looking left and right. After confirming it was her child, she couldn't believe how much it had grown in such a short time.

It had already grown into its final form.

"Er..."

Listening to Hikaru's explanation, Ye Rong's mouth twitched. He began to check on each high-ranking Team Rocket executive, then had his Dragonite fly over the entire island. After finding nothing was missed, he took out his phone, "The matter is pretty much resolved. Oh, right, bring some trainers who can handle poison."

Then he hung up the phone, looked at Hikaru, his expression grave, "Are these the only ones?"

Hikaru nodded very seriously, "Just these few!"

Ye Rong breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright then, you kid. I heard Athena was leading their operation this time. If there are dangerous matters in the future, it's better to report them first..."
