Chapter 394: Launch, Intercept
The Quartz Plateau is mostly covered with forests, except for the tournament venue and its surrounding facilities. Usually looking down from a high altitude, it looks like a piece of verdant jade, which is very pleasing to the eye.
However, one morning, this verdant forest attracted an unwarranted disaster.
Several sneaky youths, one by two, emerged from hidden places such as holes in the grass, all with evil smiles on their faces.
"I can finally let go of my work!" said a young man with a sinister eyebrow, stretching his waist.
"That's it!" another young man with a treacherous face took over, "These days, I have to eat and sleep in the open, and I have to make a cameo appearance from time to time, but I am suffocated!"
"Alright, let's stop talking nonsense, let's get moving!" The owner of the third voice was a young man with a gloomy face, and it seemed that he should be the leader of the group.
Sure enough, as soon as his voice came out, everyone honestly shut up and began to divide the work.
Some people began to clean up the area around a few trees, drenching them with flammable liquids such as gasoline and alcohol, while others took dry firewood and withered grass and other debris, but poured a little water on them to make them a little damp.
"Be careful, don't hurt ourselves then!" the gloomy young man reminded.
"Don't worry, boss, I don't want to die in the fire if I don't do anything!" the treacherous young man's reply caused a roar of laughter from everyone.
A similar situation is playing out in several other directions at the same time. If you pay attention to it, you will find that these locations almost form a circle, enclosing the entire headquarters of the league, as well as all the facilities such as the tournament venue.
When the time came, people in all locations made one last of the same move, lighting a fire.
Almost in the blink of an eye, dazzling firelight and thick black smoke rose up in unison everywhere, instantly obscuring most of the surrounding sky.
The arsonists, who had retreated to a safe distance, looked at each other and smiled, turned together, and ran in the direction of the inside, with a frightened-sounding cry:
"It's on fire!"
"Let's run for your life!"
"Hurry up and put out the fire!"
……
The eye-catching flames and columns of smoke were the source of Wang Sheng's shock, coupled with the chaotic flow of people who deliberately walked, which immediately put the security personnel of the competition under great pressure and an embarrassing shortage of manpower.
Almost immediately, the security measures were paralyzed, some of the personnel chose to rush out first to try to extinguish the fire, and the other chose to channel and calm the flow of people first, and even the command level fell into a brief chaos for a while.
The chaos didn't last long, but it was enough for the long-planned rocket crew to use the cover of crowds to reach their planned destination.
Glancing at the fire and smoke, Wang Sheng's face turned pale for a while, he couldn't imagine that Team Rocket would make such a crazy move to burn the quartz plateau, this can no longer even be defined by madness, it can almost be said to be an anti-human act, what are they going to do?
Glancing at the empty space around him, the ghost stone who understood it had already appeared: "I'll go over and see the situation!" he said, disappearing from view in a puff of smoke.
After watching Ghost Stone leave, Wang Sheng's expression improved a little, but his face was still sinking like water. After thinking about it for a while, he casually sent a message to the two girls, telling them to be calm and wait for Ghost Stone's news feedback.
As for himself, he rushed without hesitation to his original destination, the Quartz Arena.
The reason for this is because he has a strong premonition that the main venue of this big scene is likely to be there.
"Report!" the subordinate with a frightened voice delivered a very fatal message to Wataru's desk.
"What are you talking about? The Eighth Avenue Pavilion was all surrounded by the Rocket Team, and all the hall owners were dragged and couldn't get out?" Du was so shocked that he stood up directly, not even realizing that he had knocked down the chair behind him.
He never imagined that he had expected a big move from Team Rocket, but he completely underestimated their appetite and ability to execute. In the wee hours of the morning, he had received bad news that was frustrating enough: the last of the trackers had been dumped and their target had been completely lost. I didn't expect to be told such terrible news this morning.
Now I can understand with my toes that those people are clearly heading towards the main avenue pavilion, in order to prevent them from going out!
Needless to say, the weight of these people is not enough, they can only be regarded as covering up, but even the cover has been so generous, what will be their ultimate goal?
In Withered Leaf City, Ma Zhishi looked at the rocket team members who were swaggering around the Withered Leaf Gym and also stopped at the gate, and his eyes were almost spewing fire.
Focusing on the attributes of the electrical department, he is already a violent and thunderous character, and this time he was bullied again, how can he not be angry?
What made him even more disgusting was still behind, all the rocket team members who came, almost every one of them had a ground elf, three gophers, Nido kings, drillhorned rhinos, and mountain kings...... It's completely a posture of eating you to death, which makes Ma Zhishi's face red with anger.
With a wave of his fist, he was about to rush out desperately to fight with Team Rocket, but was dragged by the others in the gym: "Don't be impulsive, hall master, they are prepared, we have no chance of winning when we go out!"
"Let go of me, can you just watch them show off their might?" Ma Zhishi shouted angrily as he struggled.
However, anger turned to anger, after all, he couldn't resist the combined efforts of everyone, and failed to rush out of the gate as he wished, but could only watch the gym be trapped in a corner under the siege of Team Rocket.
In fact, it's not just him, at this time, the Eighth Avenue Pavilion in the Kanto region has been blocked by the Rocket Action Team carrying targeted elves at the same time, and the hall owners are trapped in the Gym one by one, helpless.
In fact, it's not just the owner of the gym who has such trouble.
At the door of the Joban Gym, Kikuko was holding a cane in both hands, and was looking coldly at the lewd man in front of her, her large-mouthed bat and Geng ghost were on guard on both sides, but they didn't move.
"Lambda, you may be a little capable in the one-acre three-point land of the Rockets, but do you think you can really help me?" After a moment, Kikuko opened her mouth coldly, her tone full of disdain.
The person who came was none other than Lambda, one of the four cadres of Team Rocket, and in the face of Kikuko's contempt at this time, he didn't see any signs of anger, but grinned and didn't think so.
"King Juzi, of course I know how many catties I have, but do you really think that I, who are fully prepared, can't even drag you here?"
Kikuko's expression seems to have not changed, but she is good at pretending to imitate Sakaki, and Lambda, who is extremely keen on the details of people's faces, can clearly see a certain nerve on her face skip a beat.
With joy in his heart, he unconsciously said a few more words: "Don't say it's you, even a few other people, are you sure we have no way to hold them back?"
Juzi didn't say anything, but her face was a little gloomy.
As Lambda said, the main combat power of the alliance has been entangled by Team Rocket's arrangement at this time, and it has fallen into a dilemma.
At the entrance of the alliance headquarters, Wataru, Xiba, and Kona who came out together had been blocked, and the leaders standing in front of the group of rocket team members were Apollo, Lance and Athena.
"Three of the four came, and the remaining one probably went to Kikuko's side. Kona brushed the back of her head with one hand on her face and removed the Poké Ball from the headband.
"Sakaki is so bold, we all underestimate him. Sheba's fists clenched.
"Now, let's try our best to get in the way!" Wataru said, slowly lifting the hand holding the Poké Ball from under his cloak.
The atmosphere is on the verge of erupting.
A landmark at the junction of the Kanto region and the Johto area, under the Miyakoshiro Waterfall.
Ah Ju, who was dressed in a forbearance costume, was facing Long Xing, who was also dressed in a strong costume, across the waterfall, and both of them were motionless.
"I'm sorry, it's not going to work. Long Xing's voice was cold, and he couldn't hear a trace of emotion.
As if in response to his words, one by one the rocket team members in similar clothes appeared from the surrounding darkness one by one, and they all stared at Ah Ju firmly.
Maze City, Zhengcheng looked at the city below the hillside, and waved his hand casually: "Let's act!"
As soon as the words fell, a group of rocket players had already rushed out from the side, rushing towards the city where everyone was closed to their homes because they were watching the live broadcast of the league competition, causing the streets to be empty, and it took a moment to control the place.
"The quartz plateau has become something in our pocket, I hope you don't let me down!" The success of the operation did not raise Zhengcheng's eyelids a little more, but turned his gaze to the north, and a faint uneasiness flashed in his eyes.
The Quartz Arena was still in the midst of a heated atmosphere as the tournament was approaching, and people were happily discussing their predictions for the game and their opinions on the top four, and from time to time they were arguing because of the difference in opinions, and no one noticed the anomaly outside.
In a contestant preparation room, Ling Ogata, who was sitting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion.
"Why is it that there is an inexplicable heat first, and then an inexplicable chill?" she said in a voice so light that only she could hear it.
After looking around to no avail, she closed her eyes again.
In the aisle outside the preparation room, Nanba was walking with his hands behind his back in an indescribable frenzy, towards the exit ahead.
His eyes were full of fervent madness, like moths to a fire. 2k reading web
