...
Just as Saffron City shook.
Suddenly, the temperature of the entire area began to plummet.
Slowly.
The water vapor in the clouds above is affected by the sudden drop in temperature, and pieces of Icirrus drift slowly.
Natsu opened his palm, and a six-sided ice crystal landed in his hand.
Although the fall season in Saffron City is coming to an end, due to the influence of the region where Saffron City is located, there has been no snowfall for many years.
But now.
It was only the first time in winter, but it started to snow.
This is obviously not caused by changes in the natural environment, but
far away.
An elderly silhouette stood high with a cane.
If you look closely, you can see a brown Pokémon beside him.
Soon.
Poweder Snow slowly turned into heavy snow, and finally condensed into pieces of Ice Shard.
It's just that Ice Shard is concentrated outside Saffron, while Saffron City is only affected by snow.
"ice attribute Elite .Pryce!"
Is this the power of ice attribute Elite?
The power of just one Pokémon can actually change the weather of an entire city, even covering the area around the city.
Also, is that brown Pokémon a Swinub? Or Piloswine?
Because the distance is too far, it can't be seen.
But Hail's environment has been built, and the entire Saffron City has become home to the Pryce Pokémons.
Natsu could clearly feel the sudden change in temperature from their location.
It's hard to imagine the impact on the Wild Pokémon outside of Saffron City.
"The Elite Four, old Elite Four, that's scary."
It's still just Pryce.
The strength of oneself alone almost controls the sudden riot of Pokémon.
Where's Agatha?
"This is just the beginning." Anci said.
However, because of Pryce's appearance, his dignified face was relieved a lot.
Snow was accumulating everywhere, and a thin layer of snow covered the city.
It's like giving Saffron City a new plain white outfit.
Ground's vibrations also stopped.
"Hurry up and restore the Pokémons. Although I believe in the strength of the two Elites, many things still depend on me in the end."
Leaving a sentence, Natsu nominee. Moved towards the villa without looking back.
Anci also followed along after standing in place for a while.
His villa is temporarily unavailable.
But his Pokémon also needs to be restored.
Natsu didn't close the door when he entered, as if he had left it for Anci on purpose.
And the petite black shadow on the roof has disappeared.
The other side.
Saffron City's tallest building, on the top floor of the Silph Co. building, in an office with a general manager's sign.
Giovanni was sitting in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, watching the snow fall outside, a Persian rubbing clingingly at his feet.
Enjoying the interlacing of clothes and hair, squinting comfortably.
A hand was placed on its head and gently stroked along the hair.
"Meow-"
The soft Growl echoed through the office.
He took a sip of the red wine in the goblet with a smile on his face.
"You're old man, so what are you doing in such a hurry?" Giovanni chuckled.
Stand up slowly.
Go up ahead of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Pryce's silhouette can be seen here, as well as the changes outside Saffron City.
Slowly.
The smile on Giovanni's face faded.
"I don't want to waste your precious time talking to you, but it doesn't mean that Saffron City is a place where you can do whatever you want."
The faint voice made Persian next to him froze.
His back arched and his hair stood on end.
"The experiment is important, but you've already affected it."
As these words fell, Persian paced to the desk and lightly buckled. A red button under the desktop.
And as this button falls.
Team Rocket members throughout Saffron City received the signal, and the silent ones became Splash alive.
Meanwhile.
Giovanni walked over to a floor-standing cabinet.
"Click—"
The cabinet door opened slowly, all Poké Ball.
Nearly 100 Poké Balls lie quietly in a box in the cabinet.
He picked up six of them with a deadpan expression.
Behind Giovanni, at some point, three one-knee kneels with different appearances, dressed in Team Rocket costumes, suddenly appeared.
Toss them the six Poké Balls at will.
The three of them took two of them each without speaking, but strode out of the office after nodding heavily.
Giovanni bowed his head, his eyes twinkling.
The other side.
Dark, cramped, and rough rock caves.
"Lord Tamaki, Pryce has already acted." Hidden under the black robe, Captain Badger stood respectfully under the high platform of the Cave, his eyes frantic.
Behind him, there are more black robed men,
They are all looking at Tamaki on the high platform feverishly, or looking at Tamaki rock wall behind.
This is the result of months of hard work.
It is also their pursuit.
"Where's Agatha?" Tamaki's face was calm, he gently rubbed the ring on his hand, and said slowly.
".I don't know." Badger's expression froze.
"Don't take the Elite Four for an idiot, Agatha will find it here soon."
Even though there was no evidence, Tamaki seemed sure.
With so many people present disappearing into Saffron City, it's impossible for Agatha to be unaware, and it's only a matter of time before she finds it.
He certainly knew that Pryce and Agatha were looking for them, and even watched Saffron City go awry.
He knew it was a trap prepared by the other party, but he still jumped into it.
Because his plan was the last step.
It doesn't matter whether Saffron City is a mess or not, what matters is that he has collected what he needs in this final mess.
"Then we"
"Put the last thing away." Tamaki waved.
Then walked off the high platform and gave way to a passageway in front of him that led to an unknown arm thickness.
Badger, who received the order, greeted the black robed man below, and threw crystals of different sizes, large and small, into the rock tunnel.
If Natsu and Anci can recognize here, these crystals of different sizes are all "crystals of life"!
As the "crystal of life" of one after another rolled down the passage, a scarlet flame suddenly rose from the rock wall, passing through the thick rock wall made of unknown materials, and the fire was reflected .
Seeing this firelight, the expressions of the black robed man became more excited one by one.
Walking down the high platform Tamaki, a person wearing a black robe and a white mask came up.
Tamaki raised his brows and said with a little joking:
"Mr. 'breed master', no no no, maybe it should be called now. Top Rank Breeder Mr. Kilboy. Master Suzuki first Disciple."
Kilboy took off his mask, his face was flat, and he glanced at the rock wall that was constantly blazing.
"It doesn't matter what the title is, I only care about the result."
hearing this, Tamaki laughed.
"Yeah, if it weren't for Master Suzuki's theory of 'the crystallization of life', this time the plan would not have gone so smoothly."
Hearing "Master Suzuki's theory", Kilboy clenched his fists slowly, cold light flashing in his eyes, but he hid it well.
coldly said: "Team Rocket has already acted, you can handle it yourself."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.
Tamaki's face slowly sank.
After a moment, he chuckled again.
"It's okay, I prepared a nice gift for them."
