Articuno beat its wings, suddenly exhaling a blast of absolute zero.
Suicune, caught off guard, was instantly flash-frozen into a block of ice. Giovanni even glimpsed a flicker of astonishment in the Beast's eyes. But his triumph was short-lived. Suddenly, another Suicune shimmered into existence behind Moltres, shedding its psychic veil to launch a sneak attack.
A massive deluge erupted from the real Suicune. The rushing water transformed into ten thousand liquid arrows, creating an inescapable cage around the fire bird.
"Damn it! The one Articuno froze was a Substitute!"
Giovanni's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat slicked his palms. Simultaneously, Entei appeared beside Articuno, exhaling a Fire Blast. The glowing kanji-shaped fireball roared toward the ice bird. Articuno fluttered frantically to evade, but the fireball seemed to have eyes, tracking its target relentlessly as it expanded into a three-meter pillar of flame.
"Greninja, use Hydro Pump!"
Feng Che's Greninja manifested several hyper-pressurized water orbs and launched them at the Fire Blast. A sharp hiss filled the air as thick white steam erupted. While the water didn't extinguish the divine fire, it bought Articuno enough time to slip away.
High above, Zapdos unleashed Thunder. Raikou, seeing the million-volt strike descending, leaped into the clouds to dodge. But as Raikou congratulated itself, the bolt curved, striking the drenched Suicune instead. With a violent crackle, the Water Beast coughed up a puff of black smoke and collapsed, its body twitching with residual current.
With Suicune down, the water arrows trapping Moltres dissolved. The fire bird seized the opening, diving through the steam and absorbing the lingering heat of the Fire Blast to swell in size. It opened its beak and unleashed a sea of fire toward Entei and Raikou.
"Haha! It's time you witnessed the True God of Team Rocket!"
Giovanni manipulated the black orb controller. The device erupted with violet-black electricity, forcibly drawing the three birds together. Within the discharge, the three entities merged into a single, terrifying chimera.
The fused Triple-Bird radiated a divine pressure that made the very air heavy. It hovered in the sky, looking down at the world with the indifference of a creator.
"This is the artificial Tier-1 God born from Rocket technology! It commands fire, frost, and lightning simultaneously. Goodshow, you've lost!" Giovanni laughed maniacally.
The chimera unleashed a combined Flamethrower, Ice Beam, and Thunderbolt. The three energies intertwined into a beam of pure destruction. Even the Legendary Beasts dared not take it head-on, leaping to the high ridges as the attack cratered the Plateau, leaving a bottomless pit in the earth.
"It's over... Rocket is going to win," Professor Oak muttered. He immediately deployed his Dragonite and Kangaskhan, signaling Red, Blue, and Green to prepare for a coordinated strike.
"Goodshow has failed. It's our turn," Lance noted, watching the Beasts retreat. He signaled the other three Elites. "Move the legions in. We cannot let Rocket actually occupy the headquarters."
"Boss Giovanni! The Elite Four's legions are closing in on our rear!" a Rocket scout screamed into the comms.
"Boss! High-level trainers have appeared on the southwest flank!"
"It doesn't matter," Giovanni said, his voice brimming with arrogance. "With the Triple-Bird, I am invincible. The Elite Four are a deterrent, nothing more. They won't dare attack as long as I hold this power."
Feng Che, standing beside him, realized this was Giovanni's peak. The man truly believed he had won.
"Red, Blue, Green—listen closely," Professor Oak whispered. "Giovanni is controlling them through that black orb floating above the chimera. We must use our strongest combined attack to shatter it. If that orb goes, the birds break free."
"I'll use Dragonite and Kangaskhan to draw their fire and force an opening. You have only one shot. Time it perfectly." Oak leaped onto Dragonite's back and surged forward.
The chosen children have arrived, Feng Che thought, spotting the Pallet Town trio. Red, Blue, and Green... already at the Pseudo-Elite level. Rocket is about to become the ultimate experience farm for these three, just like in the manga.
"Oak! You old fool! Why aren't you in Pallet Town rotting over your research?" Giovanni roared as the Professor interrupted his victory.
"Giovanni, the Indigo Plateau is Kanto's heart. Justice will always prevail over your greed!" Oak shouted, sounding incredibly 'chuunibyou.'
"Then die with your 'justice'!"
The chimera fired a triple-elemental beam at Dragonite. Oak's dragon let out a sky-shaking roar, countering with a massive Dragon Pulse that held the beam at bay. Then, Dragonite's aura exploded. Golden meteors tore through the clouds, raining down on the Rocket main force—a wide-range Draco Meteor.
"Dammit, old man!" Lt. Surge cursed, summoning his Magnezone. "Use Gravity! Bring those rocks down!"
The meteors were pulled off-course, smashing into the ground and turning the already scarred Plateau into a wasteland. Koga's Arbok dissolved some with Gastro Acid, while Sabrina used her psychic power to hurl them away.
"Retreat! Tactical withdrawal!" Sabrina commanded her units, sensing the tide turning.
Because Dragonite had exhausted its stamina on the Draco Meteor, the chimera quickly overwhelmed it, knocking Oak and his partner to the ground.
"Haha! If you hadn't interfered, I might have let you live as a court scholar," Giovanni sneered, making a 'Game Over' gesture. "Now, you vanish."
The chimera prepped a final Giga Impact, wreathed in fire, ice, and lightning.
Just as the blow was about to land, Red, Blue, and Green leaped in front of Oak.
"Go, Blastoise!" "Go, Charizard!" "Go, Venusaur!" "We will protect our home!"
Blastoise unleashed a massive Hydro Pump, Charizard spat white-hot flames, and Venusaur fired a Solar Beam. To top it off, Red's Pikachu added a Million Volt discharge.
"Useless! The God-Bird will crush you!" Giovanni scoffed.
But the trio wasn't aiming for the bird. The four attacks converged on the black orb. The controller, currently jammed by the chaotic feedback of the chimera's own power, couldn't activate its defensive shield in time.
CRACK.
The orb shattered into a thousand pieces. The fusion bond snapped instantly. Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres separated, glaring at the humans below before scattering into the horizon.
"No! Come back!" Giovanni stared in stunned horror. His ultimate weapon was gone, and the Elite Four's legions were finally closing the .
