Team Rocket Executive Comes to Challenge!

Within Team Rocket, there are many internal employees, divided into four levels from top to bottom: Boss, Executives, Elites, and Ordinary Members.

Ariana's position is just below the boss, Giovanni, making her a Team Rocket Executive.

Not everyone is familiar with Ariana. For example, Liu Hu and Bai Yunfei, upon hearing her name, looked puzzled.

Chen Yue turned his head and found Gu Jia looking at him.

They exchanged a glance and tacitly didn't share this information with the other two scheming veteran players.

Ariana didn't introduce herself much further. She pulled out a red and white Poke Ball from somewhere and held it in her hand.

"I won't say much more. I believe you are already very familiar with Pokemon. What I'm going to teach you next is how to make your Pokemon stronger."

"As we all know, Pokemon and Trainers complement each other. For a Trainer, there are many ways to make their Pokemon stronger, and the most effective and quickest way is through actual battles."

With that, Ariana opened her Poke Ball, and with a burst of white light, a Vileplume with five huge red petals on its head appeared in front of the four.

"Come on, release your Pokemon and battle me. Let me see your skills!" Ariana took two steps back, clearing a designated battle area.

Team Rocket's training methods were indeed straightforward, and Chen Yue had no energy to complain.

The four infinite players looked at each other, using their eyes to ask who would go first. But before they could discuss it, Ariana called out, "You there, the not-so-bright Looker, you go first."

She slightly raised her red lips, revealing a hint of a seductive smile, her tone full of implications. "I'm really looking forward to our battle."

She even emphasized the word "battle," which shocked Bai Yunfei and made him tug at Liu Hu's sleeve, saying, "Holy crap, did I hear that right? Is this NPC flirting with players?!"

Chen Yue had a complex expression and took a while to say five words, "I'm calling the police."

It was indeed dangerous for boys to be outside.

Ariana was amused by their reactions. "Go ahead, go ahead, a Team Rocket member reporting to the police. This is the first time I've heard something like that. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave once you go, but don't worry, I'll personally go get you from Officer Jenny."

Chen Yue: ...

Faced with such a mature and flirtatious woman, Chen Yue felt he couldn't resist.

He pursed his lips, dared not continue the conversation, and raised his hand to release Mimikyu from the Poke Ball.

Ariana was somewhat surprised when she saw Mimikyu. If she remembered correctly, this Mimikyu was the one she casually brought back from her business trip to the Alola region last time.

After bringing it back, she had casually tossed it in the base's warehouse, and she didn't expect it to appear here.

But she quickly adjusted her expression and concealed her surprise. "Are you ready? I won't hold back."

Chen Yue nodded and then saw a message appear on the system panel.

[Team Rocket Executive Ariana challenges!]

Very well, this is very Pokemon.

The opponent wasn't a random Youngster or a Bug Catcher; it was Team Rocket Executive Ariana right from the start. Chen Yue felt that this beginner's field was starting with a hellish level of difficulty.

"Vileplume, use Poison Powder!"

Without waiting for Chen Yue to speak, Ariana directly commanded her Pokemon to launch an attack.

Vileplume's body trembled slightly, and a faint purple light emitted from its five petals. The light condensed into a purple mist and quickly enveloped Mimikyu.

The coverage of Poison Powder was too wide, making it impossible for the petite Mimikyu to dodge, especially since it was only at level one.

Chen Yue, who was directing a Pokemon battle for the first time on the spot, was a bit uncomfortable, but he quickly made a decision after analyzing.

Since there was no way to dodge it anyway, he might as well charge straight in!

"Mimikyu, use Astonish!"

Amidst the sea of purple Poison Powder, Mimikyu jumped like a ghost and rushed towards Vileplume while emitting a piercing growl.

An invisible sound wave directly hit Vileplume, causing it to shudder and display a frightened expression on its face.

At the same time, a purple light appeared on Mimikyu, successfully inflicting the Poisoned status on Vileplume with the Poison Powder.

Ariana smiled faintly and continued to issue commands, "Use Solar Beam."

So, Vileplume began to gather solar energy on the spot.

Solar Beam has an obvious three-second prep time when used, which may be a good opportunity for counterattack for Pokemon of similar strength. However, if there is a significant difference in strength between two Pokemon, no matter how one resists, it will be in vain.

Although Chen Yue didn't know the exact Level of the opponent's Vileplume, he could guarantee that its Level was definitely over LV20.

As for Ariana... she had no intention of engaging in a serious battle at all. Otherwise, she could have broken Mimikyu's Disguise Ability in the first turn with a Giga Drain, followed by moves like Energy Ball and Petal Blizzard to instantly defeat Mimikyu.

Bai Yunfei, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't bear it and said, "This NPC is too cruel." He wasn't afraid of accidentally knocking out Mimikyu.

In the instance, once all the Pokemon in a trainer's team fall into a near-death state, if they don't revive them in time using items like Sacred Ash or Hustle Fragments, the Main Quest will be automatically considered failed, resulting in a significant loss of points.

Liu Hu used the panel function to check Vileplume's Level and unsurprisingly saw LV25 after its name.

He couldn't help but gloat, "Haha, this year's newcomers are so miserable! What kind of devilish start is this? Compared to them, my start was like playing house!"

Gu Jia beside him pursed her lips but didn't say anything. She frowned, knowing that she couldn't escape this battle either.

0.13 seconds passed, and Chen Yue's brain had already reacted.

No! It should be said that he had this idea in mind even before the battle started.

Opening Mimikyu's panel, Chen Yue focused on the two words after Inherited Moves.

Destiny Bond: After using the move, when hit by the opponent's attack and left in a near-death state, the opponent will also be left in a near-death state.

Mimikyu's Disguise Ability had disappeared after enduring the first wave of damage from being Poisoned.

If it were hit by Solar Beam, then Mimikyu would definitely be unable to battle.

This meant that he had only one chance.

Chen Yue's heart raced, and coincidentally, at this moment, Mimikyu turned its head, and the gazes of Chen Yue and his Pokemon met in mid-air.

The next second.

Chen Yue directly issued the final command for the first battle, "Charge forward and use Destiny Bond!"

"What?"

Hearing this sentence, Bai Yunfei was first stunned, but he quickly reacted and widened his eyes, "What the heck? What kind of luck does he have? Why does his first Pokemon have Inherited Moves?"

Before he could finish his last word, a faint purple Energy Ball formed in front of Mimikyu. The moment it touched Vileplume, it directly entered its body.

At the same time, Solar Beam was also fully charged.

Vileplume was simultaneously affected by Destiny Bond.

The next second, a strong and intense white beam of light shot out.

Mimikyu, who had just jumped and hadn't landed yet, was directly consumed by this powerful and terrifying beam of light.

Its tiny body instantly disappeared into a burst of white light.

Ah, the long-lost daily update life is back.
