"Anke?" Captain Price, about to leave his room, looked at the newcomer with great confusion.
But then a disdainful smile appeared on his face, "Why aren't you hiding like a turtle, what are you doing here? Do you want to beg me for mercy?"
Anke glanced at Yotaro and Vicious not far away, then said to Captain Price:
"Nothing, just catching up."
"Catching up?" Captain Price sneered, also glancing at Yotaro and the others, "And you brought two kittens? I thought they would hide in your room forever."
After Anke learned that Giovanni had returned, the pressure in his heart finally dissipated a lot, and he spoke with more confidence.
"Broaden your horizons, don't squabble with children."
Captain Price frowned. He and Anke had known each other for many years, so how could he not understand his temperament?
His current behavior meant that someone had given him confidence, or perhaps, he wanted to go all out.
He quietly stepped back two paces, his hand on a Poké Ball. Although he was slightly stronger than Anke, if Anke fought with all his might, he would still have some trouble.
"What do you want to do?"
Anke just smiled slightly, "I just missed you a bit and wanted to chat more."
Something was wrong. Captain Price already felt that Anke was acting unusually.
He was clearly stalling for time, and Captain Price distinctly felt a sense of panic. At his level of strength, this obvious panic clearly meant something was happening.
Captain Price snorted coldly, "I don't care what tricks you're playing, get lost. Don't think you can hold me back."
Anke, however, didn't move, still standing in front of him.
Captain Price felt his eyelids twitching, a clear sign that something was amiss.
He urgently wanted to know what was happening, so he raised his hand and released his Pokémon, "Don't think I won't make a move in the Base!"
A Gym Leader Level Pokémon, Tauros.
His strength had broken through. The reason he released Tauros was originally to make Anke retreat in the face of difficulty, but who knew Anke would meet the challenge head-on!
Anke directly raised his hand and released all his Pokémon, surrounding Captain Price. The aura of Gym Leader Level Pokémon filled the not-so-wide corridor.
The immense pressure made Yotaro and Vicious, who were observing the situation from behind, break out in cold sweat.
Anke's decisiveness made Captain Price feel even more danger. He had already guessed some things. "Get out of the way!"
Anke being able to stand here regardless of the consequences meant that what he was doing would definitely pose a complete threat to him.
This implied that the one in trouble might be Raven.
Anke sneered, raised his hand, pointed at Captain Price, and shouted to his Pokémon: "Attack!"
A series of dazzling moves were continuously unleashed here! Brilliant and full of destructive power!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Everyone in the entire Base heard the violent explosions.
At the same time, in front of the doors of each of the Squadron Leader, the Shadow Squad had already been waiting for a long time.
"What's going on?" One by one, the Squadron Leader opened their doors, ready to go out, only to see Shadow Members wearing masks.
If the Shadow Squad hadn't been wearing Team Rocket uniforms, they might have uncontrollably launched an attack on them.
They also asked in confusion: "Who are you?"
The Shadow Members replied:
"Shadow Hanzo... Chen Long, by Boss's order, we are here to supervise you!"
Upon hearing this, the Squadron Leader' expressions changed drastically. They dared not disobey the Boss's orders.
But what was the situation now?
A bolder one had already pulled out a Pokémon card, wanting to slip it into a Shadow Member's hand, "Excuse me, what is the situation now?"
However, they clearly underestimated the benefits of the Shadow Squad.
Giovanni held a cave that could produce Moon Stone, and Madame Boss acquired Mt. Moon and other mines.
Although Moon Stone had not yet begun to be sold, Madame Boss had already given Giovanni a large amount of resources as a reward.
These resources were enough for Giovanni to train the Shadow Members, plus they were all earning double wages.
So they directly refused their bribes.
Hanzo directly told the Chief in front of him: "No comment."
The Chief's face instantly turned ugly. No matter what, Hanzo was only a Senior Level Trainer, while he was a Gym Leader Level Trainer.
He raised his hand and pointed at Hanzo's mask, "Don't be ungrateful! I seriously suspect you of forging Boss's orders."
"You dare to question the Boss!" The gaze under Hanzo's mask instantly turned cold, "Shuppet, Disable."
Suddenly, a pair of large, captivating eyes appeared above his mask, and then waves of energy spread out. The Chief instantly froze in place.
Hanzo's movements were very fast. He reached him almost instantly, lightly tapping his fingers to lock all of his Poké Balls.
And the captivating eyes that appeared on his mask had already moved out, forming a Pokémon that looked like a cloak with a pointed head.
Although it looked very cute, when it slowly opened its mouth, widening it enough to fit a head, then it was truly not cute anymore.
Whoosh!
The Chief's body seemed to have its bones removed, instantly collapsing to the ground, his eyes slowly losing their luster, finally turning gray and lifeless.
Under Giovanni's training, the Shadow Squad did not follow conventional paths, unlike Team Rocket members who didn't adhere to battle rules.
They only needed to achieve their goals, so they could use any means, no matter how insidious or despicable.
Therefore, they could challenge opponents beyond their level and kill them by surprise.
Consistent with Giovanni's policy, Giovanni did not take the Shadow Squad's gains, leaving them to dispose of as they wished. So, after Hanzo collected the Chief's Poké Balls, he smiled slightly.
"With these Pokémon, I'm not far from reaching the Senior Level."
Slurp!
On the other side, Shuppet was still greedily devouring the Chief's soul.
In addition, some Squadron Leader, upon hearing that it was Madame Boss's order, gave up resisting.
Some who wanted to make a move were killed on the spot by Shadow Squad members.
The entire Base plunged into chaos, blood staining Team Rocket' emblem.
Inside Madame Boss's room, Dr. Mueller and his nurses, as well as Hera, were all present.
Hera asked somewhat confusedly: "Boss, are you just going to let them do this? After this, the organization's combat power will be cut in half."
Madame Boss said indifferently:
"If so many people in just one Viridian Base disobey me, then what about the entire Team Rocket? A new Team Rocket must be born from old remains! This is something that must be experienced."
"When a new king appears, the old ones should step aside."
