This bonus Chapter is a small gift—may it bring you a touch of tranquility.

Erika stared blankly, unable to believe her eyes, even after witnessing her own defeat by Luo Yuan's hand.
Could it be true? Were all these trainers taken down in just an instant?
In her stupor, she watched as Luo Yuan calmly recalled wtwo.
Without a hint of concern, he walked up to her, leaned in, and said with a smirk, "Next ti, make sure you do your howork before you take on a mission."
Erika gritted her teeth, barely holding herself together, refusing to show fear.
Seeing her feigned composure, Luo Yuan chuckled, turned, and walked out of the Celadon Ga Corner.
Only after he exited did Erika's tense stance crumble, her knees giving way, and she collapsed to the ground in a W-shaped posture.
Her clothes clung to her, damp with sweat.
Since becoming a trainer, she had never faced such a terrifying opponent.
Thankfully, he had no intentions of harming her. And with the other League trainers either unconscious from wtwo's attacks or tangled up with other trainers, no one witnessed her mont of weakness.
Steadying herself, she brushed the dust off her clothes.
Just as Erika was about to contact Elite Four mbers Lance and Agatha to report the incident at Celadon Ga Corner, her phone buzzed at her waist.
She answered the video call, and Lance's image appeared on the screen.
"Lance?"
"Erika, stay away from the Ga Corner. The enemy is highly powerful, extrely dangerous," Lance warned with a grave tone.
Erika: "..."
She glanced at her Pokémon, lying fainted around her, took a deep breath, and reminded herself to keep her composure.
After all, Lance couldn't be all-seeing; it wouldn't be fair to bla him for her Pokémon's defeat.
So she replied, "Lance, I just fought with the enemy. He left the Ga Corner only monts ago. If we pursue him now, we might still catch up."
Though Lance's warning ca too late, Erika felt it was her duty to report the Rocket mber's movents, hoping it would help Lance capture him.
Lance went quiet, processing her words.
As Erika waited, puzzled, Lance finally spoke, choosing his words carefully.
"The person who attacked us was Rocket Executive 'K.' We clashed with him just a short while ago."
"A battle?" Erika's mind raced with a thought.
If he had just fought Lance and was still able to strike the Rocket base here, then...
As her thoughts trailed off, Lance continued, "That's right. I, Bruno, and Agatha were all defeated."
"We're sorry we couldn't notify you in ti."
"...?"
Erika's face filled with shock.
All three of the Elite Four lost? Just how strong was that Rocket Executive?
As the gravity of the situation sank in, Erika began contemplating her place if Team Rocket took control of Kanto.
Struggling to follow Lance's instructions for cleanup, she ended the call, her brow furrowing in deep thought.
Eventually, the other staff from Celadon Gym, having regained consciousness, gathered behind her.
Erika recalled her Pokémon, returning each to its Poké Ball. "Let's go. Back to the gym!"

Leaving the Celadon base behind, Luo Yuan used wtwo's Teleport to return to the airship.
Familiar with Luo Yuan's prowess, Matori had never doubted his safe return.
However, she couldn't be sure of how much he'd managed to recover from the League.
Probably not much, she thought, noting his empty hands.
The supplies Team Rocket lost to the League were vast, and she held little hope that Luo Yuan could retrieve much.
But what happened next went far beyond her expectations.
With a snap of his fingers, Luo Yuan beckoned, and a Gengar—nearly double the usual size—appeared before Matori.
In response to Matori's puzzled gaze, Gengar removed the hand covering its mouth.
Whoosh!
A flood of cash poured from Gengar's mouth, scattering across the room.
Matori's eyes widened in shock.
But Gengar wasn't done. After coughing up the cash, it reached into its own mouth, pulling out one item after another—Poké Balls and rare items.
Each Poké Ball contained carefully selected high-potential Pokémon from Team Rocket's reserves.
In addition, an array of items like Kings' Rocks, tal Coats, Mystic Waters, and Life Orbs were all laid out by Gengar.
Looking over the room filled with valuable items, Matori did a quick ntal tally. Including the cash, Luo Yuan had managed to recover nearly 1.2 billion in assets.
"Well?" Luo Yuan asked, glancing at Matori.
"Phew...this will help ease our finances a lot," she replied with relief.
Although it wasn't much by normal standards, given Team Rocket's current situation, this would be enough to cover imdiate needs until the next quarter's inco ca through, providing crucial relief for the team.
"Good," Luo Yuan said, picking up a King's Rock from the desk as he recalled his Slowbro, who was capable of freely evolving and devolving. "I'll be taking this King's Rock. Make sure to put it on my account."
"Oh, and the battle data on wtwo—it's all recorded on this USB. Make sure it gets to Giovanni."
By now, Matori was well-accustod to Luo Yuan's thods, and after salvaging so much, by Team Rocket's rules, his rewards would likely exceed a single King's Rock.
But what intrigued her most was his last statent.
"Aren't you going to report to Giovanni at the Viridian Gym yourself?" she asked curiously.
She'd assud Luo Yuan would report this mission in person.
"No need. All he needs to know is that we took down the League trainers with two legendary Pokémon," Luo Yuan replied.
Hearing this, Matori nodded in agreent.
With this mission, Luo Yuan had vividly demonstrated the true aning of invincibility.
"I have other matters to attend to..." Turning to wtwo, Luo Yuan continued, "You can head back now, wtwo. As for the spoon... I don't need it for now, so it's yours to keep. Use it wisely."
Then, as wtwo blinked in mild surprise, Luo Yuan activated Teleport, vanishing from the airship.
In the next instant, he reappeared high above, releasing his long-inactive Dragonair.
With a gentle stroke over Dragonair's sleek body, Luo Yuan mounted it and set off in the direction of Cerulean City.
