In this life, he had finally escaped from an underground organization, there was no way he would join another one!
Sato didn't care whether Voya was just buying ti or if she was joking, he was taking this fight seriously!
"Zoroark, Night Daze! Larvitar, Rock Polish!"
Zoroark knelt slightly, its right hand touching the ground, its azure-blue eyes locked onto Charleon and Ninetales. The next second, Dark-type energy ford a massive expanding ring centered around Zoroark, rapidly spreading outward!
"Hmph! Ninetales, take Charleon and use Agility!"
Their coordination was seamless, Charleon leaped into the air, and at the sa ti, Ninetales jumped up and caught it, evading Zoroark's Night Daze with perfect timing!
"Rock Slide!"
"Larvitaar!"
Having used Rock Polish, Larvitar had boosted more than just its speed, two fist-sized sharp stones whizzed through the air, striking Ninetales and Charleon with full force!
Both Pokémon let out pained cries, the damage from Rock Slide was far greater than they had expected!
"Zoroark, Feint Attack! Larvitar, cover with Rock Slide!"
Sato's commands ca swiftly, giving Voya's Pokémon no chance to catch their breath.
Zoroark moved like a shadow, its speed turning it into a blur as it charged toward the two Pokémon.
From the rear, Larvitar controlled over a hundred small rocks at once, launching them forward in random, chaotic trajectories, completely overwhelming the battlefield!
"Ninetales! Charleon! Protect!"
Originally, Voya had still been thinking about trying to recruit Sato, but seeing Larvitar's Rock Slide, she was stunned.
Just two stones had been enough to make Ninetales and Charleon scream in pain, and now, a full barrage was coming at them like a teor shower!
She didn't even have ti to question why a Larvitar had such absurd power, her reflex was to defend first!
As the Rock Slide crashed down, Voya quickly realized sothing was off, the rocks were neither as fast nor as sharp as before!
It was a bluff!
The Rock Slide ended with minimal impact, and the Protect barriers around Ninetales and Charleon faded instantly, just in ti for Zoroark to strike!
Its claws, infused with Dark-type energy, sliced into Ninetales' chin, a direct critical hit!
Ninetales was sent flying, rolling across the ground several tis before lying completely motionless!
"Charleon, Flathrower!"
Charleon temporarily forced Zoroark back with a stream of flas. Voya took advantage of the mont to recall her fainted Ninetales, her once calm and calculating expression now replaced with fury.
"Zoroark, Night Daze! Larvitar, Rock Slide!"
Sato remained unfazed, there was no reason to be afraid. Once the self-destruct program activated, Voya would have far bigger problems than him!
"Charleon, Dragon Rage! Ninetales, Fla Wheel!"
Voya quickly tossed out a Ninetales to support Charleon's attacks.
Night Daze erupted at close range, its sheer power forced both Pokémon back, though their combined moves had sowhat lessened the damage.
Another Rock Slide rained down, but Voya completely ignored it, focusing instead on commanding her Pokémon to surround and overwhelm Zoroark!
BAM! BAM!
This ti, two hidden, razor-sharp stones struck Ninetales and Charleon, causing significant damage!
Voya's eyes widened in shock and frustration, her Pokémon were being completely outmaneuvered! She felt a slight sense of fear, Sato's battle tactics were overwhelming!
His mix of deception and unpredictability, just from a single Rock Slide, Larvitar had turned the battle into chaos!
And Larvitar wasn't even at the Elite level!
At that mont, Zoroark seized another opening, another Feint Attack struck, leaving Charleon nearly down for the count!
"Gengaar!"
Gengar floated over to Sato, tugging at his sleeve.
Turning to look, Sato saw that the chaotic battle around them had already ended, Team Rocket had completely collapsed!
Houndour was leading the remaining Pokémon, ensuring the battlefield was cleared.
Sato grinned and recalled Zoroark. He glanced at Voya, who stood motionless with only a Ninetales guarding her.
Saying nothing, he led the entire group of Pokémon as they stord out of the underground base.
...
Inside the base, Voya collapsed onto the ground in frustration. She couldn't understand, since when had Team Rocket beco so weak?
A ten-year-old kid had single-handedly overturned their entire base.
"Lady... Lady Voya!"
A Team Rocket grunt stumbled toward her, his eyes filled with panic and terror.
Voya shot him a cold glare. Though her posture at the mont was far from elegant, her presence still carried authority.
"All of the test subjects in the research area have escaped...!"
"I saw that. Do you think I need you to tell ?"
"A-and also..."
"Say another useless word, and I'll cut your tongue out!"
"The Potential Enhancent Serum was taken as well!"
"Damn it!"
Voya shot to her feet, her furious gaze locked on the base's exit, but she had nowhere to vent her rage.
"L-Lady Voya..."
"What now?! Spit it all out at once!"
"The intruder set a self-destruct program in our database, in just a few minutes, all of the base's data will be wiped!"
Voya spun around, her fury overflowing.
"Then why the hell are you still standing here?! Go disable it!"
"Y-yes! I already sent soone to-"
BANG! BANG!
Suddenly, the entire underground base lost power.
A few seconds later, the lights flickered back on, but the grunt who had been reporting was now ashen-faced, slumped on the ground in complete silence.
For the first ti, Voya felt real panic.
There were no more test subjects to capture, no Potential Enhancent Serum that money could reproduce, that can be easily acquired, but without data records, everything was lost!
"Sato!!!"
-------
Escaping from the underground base, Sato faintly heard a piercing scream from behind. His body tensed for a mont, then he quickened his pace.
After over half an hour, Sato led hundreds of Pokémon deeper into the forest. Along the way, no wild Pokémon dared to block them, all choosing to stay far away.
"This place should do!"
Sato ca to a stop first, gasping for breath.
The other Pokémon halted as well. Although many of them harbored deep hatred for humans, they were relatively friendly toward Sato, who had freed them.
"Houndour, scatter them. Tell them to run far, any direction except where we ca from."
"Awo~"
Houndour affectionately rubbed against Sato's leg before turning to relay instructions to the Fire-type Pokémon.
"Woof! Woof!"
In the crowd, around twenty to thirty Houndour lowered their bodies, it seed they wanted to recognize Sato's Houndour as their leader.
Houndour shook its head. It stood firmly by Sato's side, not taking a single step forward, it had already made its choice.
At that mont, a Charleon stepped forward from the crowd.
It silently approached Sato, staring at him for a long mont before pulling sothing from behind its back, a small, glowing orb.
"The Fla Orb? You're giving this to ?"
Charleon nodded, then shook its head. It raised a claw and pointed toward Houndour.
"It's for Houndour? But... it probably doesn't need this, right?"
