Chapter 614: The Totem Aura That Elicits Reactions from All Forces
"This Dragon Rush... what a shocking move."
Wallace marveled silently. Although Magnezone was in poor condition, still...
Looking at the unconscious Magnezone lying on the ground, a sudden feeling rose in his heart. Terrance, who was being underestimated from the very beginning of the battle, might just pull off a major upset!
"Knowing that Dragon-type energy is not very effective against Magnezone, he added the characteristics of Dragon Breath to Dragon Rush during the attack, making it more damaging to Magnezone. A very clever idea."
Steel-types have so resistance to Dragon-type attacks, so a direct Dragon Rush likely wouldn’t have been enough to take down Magnezone in one blow. However, Terrance’s Altaria managed to pull off a high-difficulty technique.
That was energy conversion.
Most Dragon-type moves are simply different ways of using Dragon-type energy, and among them, Dragon Breath is a particularly interesting one.
Because it essentially possesses both "fla" and "lightning" properties, it carries a scorching heat of flas and can also cause the opponent to beco paralyzed.
Fantina’s Gengar previously fused the properties of fla and poison, creating the fire poison technique. The difficulty of that was no less than the energy conversion just perford by Terrance’s Altaria. However, due to the difference in strength, it didn’t appear as astonishing as Terrance’s Altaria.
"Magnezone... is unable to battle..."
Vivian was briefly stunned, but quickly recovered and turned her shocked gaze toward Altaria. At this mont, Altaria was surrounded by totem aura, and Vivian was certain, this was the exact sa energy fluctuation she had first seen appear around Arcanine!
"Totem aura... the unique power possessed by Totem Pokémon from the Alola region, huh..." Steven looked at Terrance on the stage and cast him a deep glance.
At the sa ti, due to the revelation of the totem aura, various forces began to pay close attention to Terrance.
Kanto Region.
As the birthplace of the Pokémon League, this land has a profound heritage and a long-standing history. Yet within this mainland exists a highly ambitious criminal organization with deep reach — Team Rocket.
Headquartered in the Kanto Region, Team Rocket operates primarily in Kanto and Johto. Its goal is to capture powerful or rare Pokémon and use their strength to seize control of the world or to fulfill its own ambitions.
This organization never hides its cris and has an incredibly strong foundation. Even in the face of repeated crackdowns by the League, it remains highly active.
At this mont, in a dimly lit room at Team Rocket’s headquarters, a woman who appeared to be a secretary knocked and entered, presenting the latest docunts to Team Rocket’s boss, Giovanni.
"Totem aura..."
The black-haired, black-eyed middle-aged man sat in a chair, reading the latest docunts handed to him with great interest.
"Boss Giovanni, totem aura is a special ability possessed by certain Pokémon in the Alola region. But according to our investigation, Terrance’s Arcanine definitely wasn’t captured in Alola."
"I suspect he has mastered the ability to artificially grant totem aura," Matori said gravely. "According to one of our classified docunts, the ’Blinding One’, Totem Pokémon may very well be connected to the existence of ’Blinding One.’"
"The Blinding One, huh... That reminds , an old friend of mine is currently investigating the Blinding One in Alola. I wonder how surprised he’ll be when he hears this news," Giovanni mused with a chuckle. "He should have gathered all the information available on the Blinding One by now. If even he hasn’t uncovered any leads, jumping in too early won’t give us any direction either."
"Hmph, but that guy always likes to play dumb... Without the right conditions, don’t even think about getting information on the Blinding One out of him."
"Forget it. Compared to that, what’s most important to us Team Rocket right now is..."
"That plan!" Matori was startled and spoke solemnly.
"That’s right. If that plan succeeds, Team Rocket’s strength will be enhanced beyond imagination."
"As things stand, that matter is much more important than the Blinding One."
Reflecting on what Boss Giovanni had said, Matori fell into deep thought. Then she asked, "What about this Terrance?! The technology he might possess..."
"No need to concern ourselves with him," Giovanni said with a faint smile as he quickly skimd the docunts Matori handed him, then set them aside on the nearby table.
"I’ve already gone through his profile. That kid has ties to that old man Victor, best not to alert him."
"Besides, totem aura... the only reason it hasn’t drawn attention before is because no one focused on it. Now that Terrance has proven totem aura can be granted to other Pokémon, both we at Team Rocket and those guys in the League will be able to replicate it perfectly. This technology, you’re not seriously thinking that a brat like him could surpass the research capabilities of Team Rocket or the League, are you?"
"Understood, Boss Giovanni," Matori replied, surprised.
Victor? Could it be that Top Breeder Victor?
That man... could he actually be connected to Team Rocket?
"Could it be..." A chill suddenly ran through Matori’s mind as she quickly pieced sothing together.
That plan.
Even though she was Giovanni’s secretary, the information she had access to was limited to only a few unimportant details.
The current secret plan being carried out by Team Rocket was rumored to involve multiple genetic recombination, to create a man-made Pokémon whose strength would rival that of even the most powerful Legendary Pokémon.
Top Breeder Victor’s specialty was precisely in the field of genetic inheritance. With Team Rocket’s resources, creating an artificial Legendary Pokémon would not be easy, and for the plan to be proceeding so smoothly now, it likely ant that many top-level researchers and research teams were involved in deals that couldn’t be exposed on the surface.
Regarding this guess, Matori dared not ask further. After all, it involved a top-tier master. And once Boss Giovanni determined that the appearance of the "totem aura" wasn’t of particular importance, Matori quietly took her leave.
But it wasn’t just Team Rocket, even International Police Looker wore a grave expression when he received the news.
"Hello, this is the Po Town police station..."
"It’s ." Mr. Looker held the phone, and before he could ask anything, the voice on the other end ca through.
Whatever Team Rocket’s intelligence departnt could get its hands on, the International Police wasn’t far behind.
"Have you gotten used to your duties as an Island Kahuna in Alola?" Mr. Looker remarked with a sigh. "Oh, right, and your duties as a police officer."
"It’s alright. The Officer Jennys here are all quite respectful of elders, haha..." ca Nanu’s perfunctory laugh from the other side of the line.
"Anyway, I’ll skip the small talk. The reason I’m calling is because of the currently ongoing Super Festival being held in Hoenn. Have you been paying attention?"
