"Fire Blast!"
"Shadow Ball!"
In mid-air, Silver's Red Gyarados and Sird's Banette engaged in a fierce battle.
Gyarados's Fire Blast narrowly missed the small airship, thanks to Orm's precise piloting. However, Banette's Shadow Ball slammed violently into Gyarados's face, instantly knocking it backward into Silver and his Murkrow, sending all three plummeting toward the ground.
The small airship quickly descended. Sird and Orm emerged from the cabin and landed on the ground.
Looking at Silver, who was caught by Yellow, Sird bowed slightly and said, "We have come to welcome you."
"Is Giovanni himself... not here?"
Silver stood up, looking at Sird and Orm with a solemn expression.
"Correct."
Sird looked calmly at Silver. "We are Giovanni's personal guard, Sird and Orm. You will become familiar with us."
"I only want Giovanni! Bring Giovanni here!"
Silver roared at the two. His Gyarados also let out a furious bellow, making Orm involuntarily cover his ears.
"Heh heh, that won't do."
Sird said unhurriedly, "It wouldn't be right to keep the person standing above waiting for too long."
"Nonsense!"
Silver abruptly waved his hand. Gyarados and Murkrow immediately charged toward Sird and Orm.
But Banette had long been prepared. With a slight raise of its hand, a pre-existing transparent Light Screen blocked their path.
The charge of Gyarados and Murkrow halted the instant they collided with the Light Screen.
"Don't be so hasty."
Sird said calmly, "We will exhaust your stamina and bring you back."
As Sird's words fell, Orm also opened a Poké Ball, and a Jumpluff appeared beside him.
"Eh? A Pokémon battle?"
Yellow looked at the scene before her and sighed slightly. "But I don't really want to fight."
"You don't have a choice!"
Orm stated. His Jumpluff rapidly shook its body, and a large quantity of cotton tufts, like dandelion seeds, quickly spread around them.
Murkrow, upon contact, instantly fell into a state of sleep.
Silver immediately recalled Murkrow, rapidly retreating to Yellow's side. "Don't wander off here. We'll take them on together."
"Alright."
Yellow took out her fishing rod and said reluctantly, "I'm not particularly fond of Pokémon battles, but let's defeat them first."
"Defeat us?"
Orm pulled out a device and shone it on Yellow.
The levels and Pokémon currently held by Yellow quickly appeared on the machine.
"Raticate, Dodrio, Golem, Butterfree?"
Orm looked at Yellow's current team, then at their levels, mostly in the twenties and thirties, and immediately burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha, you think such weak Pokémon can defeat us? You're so laughably weak!"
"Since ancient times..."
Amidst Orm's loud laughter, Yellow spoke calmly, "This forest has been the stage for many cruel battles. I do not wish to repeat such a senseless thing. Please stop this meaningless fighting and leave here... Leave this forest!"
Yellow looked up, holding another Poké Ball.
"Wait! How is this possible?!"
Just as Yellow resolved to fight, Orm stared at the device, his entire demeanor changing to one of panic.
The reason was simple: the levels of the Pokémon currently held by Yellow were rapidly increasing!
The numbers jumping on the screen made Orm seriously wonder if the device was malfunctioning.
The Pokémon that were originally in the twenties and thirties had all instantly soared to Level 80!
Yellow opened the Poké Ball, and her Pokémon encircled her.
Even without the device, Sird and Orm could clearly sense that the aura emanating from those Pokémon was absolutely stronger than their own!
"Is she synchronizing her Pokémon's 'Aura' with her own, causing them to release the energy they've accumulated over time?"
Orm said through gritted teeth. This yellow-haired girl was a major enemy!
"Omastar! Blizzard!"
Yellow attacked first. Omastar suddenly opened its mouth, and the world instantly plunged into deep winter. Orm's Jumpluff was instantly frozen by the Blizzard.
The cotton tufts floating in the air also turned into ice blocks and fell.
Silver watched all of this dumbfounded, then looked at Yellow in disbelief.
This girl, who looked so delicate and weak, someone you wouldn't expect to be skilled in battle, was now erupting with astonishing combat power.
It was then that Silver recalled that Yellow was currently the Gym Leader of Viridian City.
And she had earned that position not through any connection to Ash , but by firmly establishing herself as Gym Leader through her own strength!
"Heh heh, it looks like we need to speed things up, Orm."
Sird chuckled, then said to Orm, "Look up."
Orm was momentarily stunned, then looked up at the airship in the sky.
At that moment, the airship's battle deck was open, and the occasional trembling let Orm know that an intense battle was taking place above.
Silver immediately took out his binoculars and looked up at the sky.
Through the binoculars, Silver saw Deoxys and Mewtwo locked in a fierce battle above.
"What is that?!"
Silver froze at the sight of Deoxys.
"That is a Pokémon possessing cosmic power, Deoxys."
Sird enlightened Silver, then smiled at him. "And the one commanding it is none other than our leader, Giovanni. Yes, your father, Silver-sama."
The sudden information caused Silver to freeze completely.
Yellow was also stunned. The fighting spirit that had been aggressively rising suddenly halted, completely shocked by the unexpected revelation.
"How... how could this be..."
Silver stumbled, involuntarily backing up a few steps, his expression vacant. "Giovanni is... my father... My father is the Team Rocket Boss..."
"That's right!"
Sird shouted, then watched the visibly shaken Silver with enjoyment, thinking to himself: More, more! Shake more intensely! This tremor is coming from the crack in your usually unyielding heart!
Banette's eyes fixated on Silver, and Silver subconsciously met Banette's gaze.
"No! Don't look at its eyes!"
Yellow spotted this and immediately shouted a warning to Silver.
But it was already too late!
In the instant their eyes met, Silver's consciousness was immediately locked down by Banette.
Yellow tried to save Silver, but Banette was faster. It instantly snatched Silver and carried him back to the small airship where Sird and Orm were.
Sird chuckled, and he and Orm quickly dashed into the small airship, immediately flying away!
