"Oh my, oh my~ I never thought such an opportunity would arise one day."
The spirited, spiky-haired young man lightly twirled the Poké Ball in his hand, looking at the Silph Co. building not far away.
His goal was clear; he decisively walked towards that building.
"Blue, according to the plan, shouldn't we first check around the building for Team Rockets Top Executive?"
Ethan called out to Blue's back, but looking at Blue, he was clearly heading straight for the Silph Co. building.
"It's too dangerous for you to go in alone. There must be many Top Executive inside. What if you get ambushed?"
Ethan's concern was not unfounded. Anyone would understand that the Silph Co. building was the most dangerous place in this "Saffron City Dungeon."
"Tsk~ I'm not interested in playing with those small fries. If I'm going to fight, it has to be against strong opponents."
Blue scoffed, still walking towards the Silph Co. building with an arrogant stride.
"What Top Executive? I'd like to see if they can still jump around in front of me."
The young man's arrogant words made Ethan's eyelids twitch. How should he put it?
If it was Blue saying this, he wouldn't be surprised at all, because Blue was just that arrogant.
Although he lost to Red in the semifinals, it was only the semifinals, which was completely different from the mental blow of being defeated by Red right after becoming Champion in the original story.
After the semifinal loss, Blue's arrogance toned down a bit, but the underlying wildness still remained.
Do you know who I am? Blue Oak!
If Team Rockets' Top Executive are Champion, then he would fight the Top Executive!
"You guys go play with those regular Team Rockets members. Watch how I hunt those Top Executive."
Blue's tone was still very arrogant. He casually opened his Poké Ball, and a majestic and strong Arcanine appeared beside him.
What's the point of dealing with those small fries? Blue wasn't even interested in high-ranking executives.
He was going to catch Top Executive!!
As for whether he would be ganged up on after entering the building… Blue did consider it, but he was very confident.
He had Pidgeot, Arcanine, Alakazam. His main Pidgeot flew very fast, Arcanine had Extreme Speed, and Alakazam could directly Teleport.
If Team Rockets' Top Executive didn't fight fairly and ganged up on him, he could also run away immediately.
So, even though Blue was arrogant, he wasn't brainless.
"My legendary life, here I come! Today, another thick stroke will be added, hahaha~!"
Seeing Blue's laughing figure disappear from sight, Ethan was already speechless.
But that was Blue's personality, and Ethan couldn't do anything about it.
"Red, is it really okay to let him go like this? It's too risky."
Ethan said worriedly to Red. Who knew how many Top Executive were in that building?
"…We can't stop Blue."
Red was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said softly.
As childhood friends, he knew Blue too well, so he never intended to persuade Blue.
Anyway, this decisive battle with Team Rockets wasn't a life-or-death situation. Blue wouldn't be in personal danger if captured, so let him do as he pleased.
It would be his own embarrassment.
"Emm… Alright, then let's go check if there are any Team Rockets Top Executive nearby." Ethan shrugged.
"I wonder where Silver went. He disappeared as soon as we arrived."
Ethan looked around. He actually still hoped everyone would stick together, as it would be safer that way.
However, Silver had disappeared sometime after they arrived, and now Blue had also gone alone towards the Silph Co. building.
"What about Ash? Red, didn't Ash say he would come too?"
"…."
Red was silent again, shaking his head, his brows tightly furrowed. He was actually most worried about this.
It was too abnormal. And when he messaged Ash, Ash replied that he was also in Saffron City, but since he was already in Saffron City, why didn't he meet up with them?
Ash…
Red felt a little uneasy, and for some reason, he had a faint premonition of something ominous.
"Never mind, Red, let's go. Let's check out Sector Three."
Ethan couldn't figure it out either. He looked at the small map provided by the Kanto League and said to Red.
Sector Three, this was a temporarily designated area name to facilitate communication and support.
Jenny. officer Jenny had divided the area into ten sectors with the Silph Co. building as the center, which was also the final objective.
But before advancing to the Silph Co. building, they had to take down the nine sectors outside the Silph Co. building.
Sector Six.
"Hahaha~ Weak, you are too weak. Is this all the Trainers of the League are capable of?"
Archie laughed wildly. In front of him, Guzzlord used its flexible pincer tongue to hit an Arcanine with Dragon Claw again, sending it flying.
"How arrogant!!"
Officer Jenny's pretty face was flushed with anger. Seeing the Team Rockets high-ranking executive mock them like this, Officer Jenny's full chest heaved rapidly.
But their side's manpower was indeed no match for Archie. Archie's strength was quite powerful even among the Elite.
"Ice Beam."
But just then, an elegant, magnetic voice came.
A swift Ice Beam streaked through the air, aimed directly at Archie's Guzzlord.
"Guzzlord!"
Archie immediately reacted and told Guzzlord to defend.
Guzzlord's pincer tongue glowed black and met the attack; it was the Dark-type Knock Off.
However, unexpectedly, Guzzlord's Knock Off could not break through the Ice Beam. Instead, its pincer tongue was quickly frozen.
Archie's expression changed.
"Really, Archie, this isn't our Hoenn region. You're being too ungraceful showing off like this."
A leisurely voice slowly drifted over. A Blue-haired young man in a white cloak walked with elegant steps, and beside him was a magnificent Milotic.
"Wallace!" Archie gritted his teeth.
That's right, it was Wallace!
"You, you're like a persistent ghost." Archie glared at Wallace with ill will.
"Perhaps it's the guidance of fate. For a vile fellow like you who bullies the weak, I, as a righteous Water Artist, will surely bring justice."
Wallace nodded slightly to Officer Jenny and the others, maintaining his elegant smile, and said calmly.
So handsome!!
Officer Jenny and the other League Trainers couldn't help but have their eyes light up at this.
There had always been rumors that Master Wallace, the world's strongest Master Coordinator, was handsome and elegant. Seeing him today, the rumors were indeed true!
Hearing Wallace's words, Archie's rugged face couldn't help but twist slightly. This guy was just too pretentious.
"Mr. Wallace, you came just in time."
Officer Jenny breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Wallace.
"You're welcome, Officer Jenny. You all go ahead and capture the other Team Rockets members. Leave this one to me." Wallace smiled in response.
"Tch~ How arrogant, Wallace."
Archie was extremely displeased to hear this, but he had nothing to retort with, as he was indeed no match for Wallace.
"However, hehe~ You're just unlucky."
But then, as if thinking of something, Archie grinned, his face ferocious and malicious.
"Oh? Do you have any objections, Archie?" Wallace said with a half-smile.
This guy, does he really think he can deal with me? Ridiculous.
"Lady Rosa, there's a Champion-level Trainer here!"
Archie gave Wallace a hearty laugh, then turned and shouted to someone not far away.
Lady Rosa…?
Wallace's heart tightened, and his eyes immediately became serious.
Archie was a high-ranking executive of Team Rockets after all. The only possibility for someone to be called 'Lady' by him was a Team Rockets Top Executive!
No, the battle had just begun, and he was already so unlucky… no, so lucky?
When he saw the Top Executive who arrived, Wallace's eyes immediately lit up.
It was a young girl with her hair tied in two buns, wearing a black vest with a large red 'R' embroidered on the left side of her chest, a black short skirt, and black stockings.
Although her attire was different, Wallace still recognized her. Wasn't this Rosa, the newly crowned Unova Champion?
"Where is he? Where's the Champion? This is… Wallace from Hoenn."
Rosa walked over, her gaze quickly fixed on Wallace, and a big, cute smile appeared on her delicate, pure face.
Wallace also smiled.
"Good, Archie, well done. After we take this one down, I'll share some of the Merits with you."
Rosa praised Archie with a giggle. Their Top Executive always wore special Bluetooth headsets and shared a channel.
So she was quite sure that no one else had encountered a League Champion-level Trainer yet.
I'm so lucky~
Rosa and Wallace thought this at the same time.
Archie grinned and didn't rush to leave, ready to watch how Wallace would be defeated.
Moreover, he could personally tie Wallace up afterward. He had prepared quite a few ropes in his backpack.
His tying skills were extremely professional!
"If I'm not mistaken, you are the Unova Champion, Miss Rosa, correct?"
Wallace straightened his back, his handsome face very serious.
"As a League Champion, to stand against the League, Champion Rosa, do you truly know what you are doing?"
Wallace said to Rosa with a stern voice.
"Of course I do." Rosa tilted her head, still smiling.
"Before becoming Champion, I was already a Team Rockets Top Executive, Mr. Wallace. Team Rockets is my second home."
The girl opened the Poké Ball in her hand, and a noble and aloof Serperior appeared in front of Rosa.
"Don't say these useless things. I was still worrying about where to find you League Champion, but I didn't expect to be so lucky."
"Praise Mammon~"
Rosa clapped her cute hands together, her playful tone making Wallace's eyelids twitch.
"If I catch you, Mr. Wallace, I can get 20,000 Merits, hee hee~ What a pity, Mr. Wallace, you are no longer the Hoenn Champion."
"I see."
Wallace's eyes narrowed slightly as he observed the charming young girl in front of him.
"You've made me your target? Are you serious? Targeting me, Wallace, as your prey?"
Wallace's white cloak fluttered slightly, his calm tone showing no panic at all, but instead full of the aura of a strong individual.
"I can only tell you, junior, you've picked the wrong target!"
Wallace confidently raised his head.
"Oh? You seem quite impressive. I wonder how you compare to Senior Alder, Mr. Wallace?"
"Speaking of which, my Champion battle wasn't particularly difficult. Well~ it just so happens that you, Mr. Wallace, as the former Hoenn Champion, I'd like to learn from you."
Rosa tilted her small head. Her frivolous expression also subsided a bit upon hearing this.
Although Sister Zinnia said that Wallace's strength was quite ordinary, about the same as Alder, at most a little stronger, anyway, they were on par.
After all, he was a Water-type Champion.
But seeing Wallace like this now, could it be that Wallace had been hiding his strength before?
"Lost junior, then let me, your senior, teach you! What is the Water Illusion Dance!"
Wallace dramatically swished his white cloak, full of high spirits.
That's right, he was very confident in himself!
He was no longer the same person he used to be! He hadn't made no progress in the past six months.
As for Rosa defeating Alder to become Champion, Wallace didn't take it to heart. Who didn't know Senior Alder's situation?
To put it bluntly, Alder's strength was slowly declining. Six months ago, Wallace didn't think Alder was stronger than him, let alone now.
After being captured by Team Rockets multiple times, Wallace had learned from his painful experiences. He had cultivated a brand new, powerful Water-type main Pokémon!
The current him was completely different from the him of six months ago!
A mere junior, just because she defeated Senior Alder, she thinks she can control me, Wallace?! Ridiculous!
Wallace would make this bun-haired girl understand that there are differences even among Champions!
This time, he would redeem himself! He would capture this Team Rockets Top Executive and prove himself!
"Mr. Wallace, why don't we call for reinforcements?" Officer Jenny thought it would be safer to call for reinforcements from others.
After all, the opponent was the Unova Champion.
"No need to worry, Officer Jenny." Wallace calmly raised his hand, elegant and noble in every gesture.
Then, Teacher Wallace looked at Rosa opposite him and confidently uttered four words.
"I will win."
Steven, just you watch, starting today, I'm no longer a Team Rockets captive!!
