On the Sant'Anno, the electric and fire Pokémon in their respective energy conversion rooms were discharging electricity and spitting fire to urgently supply more energy to the cruise ship;
the flying Pokémon used their power to control the wind to reduce the direct impact of the storm on the hull;
the grass Pokémon used skills such as vine whips to fix the most stressed suspension rods and chimneys to prevent damage;
most of the water Pokémon had already been launched into the water, so that they could be rescued immediately after an accident, and some were responsible for "spraying" rainwater that could not be discharged into the sea;
most of the ground Pokémon had been shaken!
In the storm, tourists who were trainers released their Pokémon one after another, and under emergency command, they contributed their strength to protect the navigation of the Sant'Anno...
Usually, such a large cruise ship would not be shaken even if it encountered some extreme weather at sea, not to mention that it was "exceeding the standard" to be equipped with so many Pokémon to assist.
However, the situation this time was indeed a bit abnormal... Therefore, the gym owners in Kanto also realized something!
At this time, Sakaki and the gym leaders of Kanto were in the casino on the top floor of the cruise ship. Only some neutral gym leaders sent one or two Pokémon to assist. Most of the gym leaders of Team Rocket or other gym leader-level trainers kept all their Pokémon with them.
The higher the level, the more obvious the shaking felt, but fortunately, the top three floors were entertainment venues such as casinos, bars, and gyms, all of which were closed at this time, and there were no ordinary tourists.
"It seems that the weather is really bad. Everyone, please accompany me tonight to take care of the safety of the trip." Sakaki said calmly.
"Hahaha, I think the sky is good, let us see a different scenery."
"That's right, it's just a storm..."
At this moment, the lights suddenly dimmed, and when they lit up again, they were already illuminated by several self-powered searchlights!
Several gym leaders immediately went to the window to check, and then said: "Fortunately, only the top three floors have a power outage..."
If it was a full-scale power outage, it would probably cause panic, but now there are no ordinary tourists on the top three floors.
Looking at several members of Team Rocket, all of them were carrying self-powered searchlights, it was obvious that Sakaki was really prepared...
"Boss Sakaki! The news from the energy room... Someone took Junsha Aoi's order to check the energy room, and the people inside were attacked by the other party after opening the door..." Kojiro ran in and shouted.
"Oh? Officer Aoi, what do you want to say about this?" Sakaki and many gym owners in Kanto looked at Junsha Aoi who was also present.
"I don't know." Officer Aoi said lightly.
At this time, the door of the "casino" opened, and a group of people wearing Team Rocket uniforms filed in. The leader was a burly man with yellow thorns. After seeing these "Team Rocket" people, Sakaki frowned.
"Ma Zhishi? Didn't I ask you to stay in the Johto area on standby? Where's Lambda?" Sakaki still sat steadily on the sofa and asked.
"Are you looking for me, Lord Sakaki?" Nancy, who was standing aside, made a male voice at this time.
Sakaki then slightly raised his finely trimmed eyebrows...
"I see... Where is Nancy? If she is really hurt, I am afraid that even if you say it is a joke, I will not be able to stop her revenge." Sakaki said in a deep voice.
When he found out that Lambda had betrayed him, Sakaki already understood why several Rocket Team core members who should not be here, as well as many Ma Zhishi and Lambda's direct subordinates, appeared on the Saint Annu.
"Don't worry about us and Nancy, Boss Sakaki..." Lambda grinned when he heard it, and it seemed that he was really worried about what to do if Nancy came to trouble him after a while after she recovered?
"Then you came here with so much trouble, what do you want to tell me? You can tell me... Chakra, Thatch... and Ken, Ryo, Harry... You should have something to say, right?" Sakaki said and called out a series of names.
In addition to Chakra and Thatch, he also called out the names of several gym owners or squadron leaders of the Rocket Team.
"As expected of you, Boss Sakaki. Did you recognize one of our men among them?" Chakra said.
That's right. Sakaki recognized that among the large group of people following Ma Zhishi, there were some of their direct subordinates, so he called out their names.
At this time, Chakra, Sachi and several of the gym leaders all walked to Ma Zhishi's side... Mainly some squadron leaders active in Johto, all defected to Ma Zhishi.
"Damn it! You bastards, do you want to betray Team Rocket?" Aju said angrily.
Many ordinary Team Rocket members were still a little scared when they saw Aju's anger, but Ma Zhishi said at this time: "You are the ones who betrayed Team Rocket, right? Since you must lead Team Rocket to submit to the alliance, let's build a new Team Rocket!"
Squeak-squeak-
the Team Rocket members standing behind Ma Zhishi tore off a piece of Team Rocket's clothes on the right shoulder, revealing a small "s"... and the big "r" logo on the chest, combined into "sr"!
If Guan Liyuan were here, he would definitely complain about why there is no "SSR"...
"Let's make the Super Rocket Team maintain the future of Kanto and Johto!" Ma Zhishi said.
"Lance, Athena, Apollo, aren't you three dissatisfied with Boss Sakaki's dream of becoming the champion? Now is the last chance to stop Team Rocket from declining." Lambda said at this time.
Lance, Athena, and Apollo are the other three of the four generals besides Lambda.
Lambda's tone did not show that he cared about the future of Team Rocket at all.
The three looked at each other at this time, revealing a firm look...
"Lord Sakaki! That's right, we also hope that you can reconsider the future of Team Rocket." Lance, who has aqua blue hair, said in an elegant tone at this time.
"No, I have fully considered that after I become the champion of Kanto, whether it is Kanto, Johto, or Team Rocket, a new future will be ushered in!" Sakaki said seriously.
After a pause, Sakaki asked, "So... what's your decision?"
Although Ma Zhishi had made all the necessary preparations, it would be best if there were fewer enemies, especially enemies like Lance, Athena, and Apollo, who were gym leaders!
However, just when Ma Zhishi and the others were relieved and thought that these three would at least remain neutral, Lance said, "Then there's nothing we can do..."
Then he turned around, and together with Apollo and Athena, he blocked Ma Zhishi and said, "As expected, we are still the 'Sakaki faction'! Since Lord Sakaki said so, we can only look forward to it..."
"You three... Humph! Stubborn! Sakaki, are you going to hide behind your men? If you are still a man, stand up and solve this in a manly way!" Ma Zhishi challenged Sakaki.
Of course, in the Pokémon world, the so-called "manly way" is to fight with Pokémon, not that Ma Zhishi wanted to fight Sakaki in a physical fight!
"Haha, you? Get past me first!" Aju stood up at this time, with the Poké Ball in his hand.
In the Rocket Team, after Sakaki, the highest status and strongest are the "three cadres", followed by the "four generals" and the "three beast warriors". Among the three cadres, Nancy is recognized as the strongest, and in terms of strength, she is the second person in the Rocket Team after Sakaki. After that, it is uncertain who is stronger between Aju and Ma Zhishi.
However, at this time, another gym owner in the Kanto region said, "What a joke! Do you think you can get away with it? Officer Aoi, the other party is now attacking the Saint Anno, I ask you to arrest him immediately!"
Immediately, many gym owners focused their attention on him...
because of Kojiro's previous report, many people doubted Jun Sha Kui.
"No, there is no need for law enforcement personnel to interfere in the internal conflicts of violent groups... There should be such unspoken rules in Kanto." Jun Sha Kui chose to play dead.
"Oh? Miss Jun Sha, are you sure you didn't interfere?"
"Are you sure this is an internal conflict? Ignoring the safety of more than 2,000 people on the ship... Are they all members of Team Rocket?"
One gym owner after another stood up to question.
If it was the gym owner of Team Rocket who questioned, Jun Sha Kui would not pay any attention, but Jun Sha Kui was quite cautious about these "neutral" gym owners.
The last hot-tempered fire gym leader slammed the table and said, "The Sinnoh Alliance... the Junsha family... dared to do such a thing in the Kanto region! Don't think we will just let it go!"
Hearing this, Junsha Kui gritted her teeth and said as if she had made up her mind, "No, it has nothing to do with the Sinnoh Alliance and the Junsha family... I will definitely give you and the Quartz Alliance an explanation afterwards!"
Many gym leaders saw what she meant, and probably wanted to take the responsibility on themselves alone...
"Hehe, we will not be satisfied with just dismissal." A grass gym leader said gloomily.
"What if the Junsha police officer chose not to see it? Do you think we will honestly act as a notary for you?" A rock gym leader casually released his Super Armor Rhino. "
That's right, since Sakaki wants to be the Kanto champion, it's time to clean up some of the bad apples in Team Rocket..."
Even if the gym leader who came was not a member of Team Rocket, he at least supported Sakaki... However, at this moment, Ma Zhishi silently took out a remote control and pressed it lightly with his finger.
Immediately, amid the sound of wind and rain, there was a faint explosion sound... and then the cruise ship had a "shaking" that was different from "shaking"!
"Asshole! What are you doing?"
"Stop it!"
"Wait... this is not what we agreed on..."
Not to mention the many gym leaders in Kanto were furious, Jun Shakui was also stunned.
"Everyone better calm down! What is exploding now is the anti-sinking bunker at position 3. With the current number of water-type Pokémon on the ship... just a hole in the outer wall of the anti-sinking bunker will not sink, but if all the bombs explode... all the water-type Pokémon added together will not be enough to save more than 2,000 people, right?
Oh, by the way, there are lifeboats..." Ma Zhishi said and pressed the remote control again.
Another muffled sound came...
"There are no more now." Ma Zhishi obviously installed bombs in the life-saving warehouse.
Some gym leaders obviously couldn't help but want to release Pokémon to fight, but they were stopped by those who remained calm.
"I installed a total of 20 bombs on the ship. The first two were just greeting gifts... Now everyone should stay here honestly and be a witness to the transition of the old and new generations of our Rocket Team!" Ma Zhishi said. "
Do you think you can still leave?" An older gym leader said in a deep voice.
"Hahaha, I naturally have my own way, don't worry about it."
At this time, Sakaki also stood up and said, "Ma Zhishi, you are forcing me to send you to jail!"
Things have come to this point, Sakaki must also give an explanation to the Quartz Alliance...
As for the Sinnoh Alliance's ship being blown up? Then ask Jun Shakui! Afterwards, the Quartz Alliance and the Sinnoh Alliance will probably ask the Jun Sha family.
Originally, Jun Shakui was ready to take the blame. As a member of the Jun Sha family and a senior executive, in order to ensure that there would be no league champions from violent groups, she was willing to pay the price. Just as the gym leader in Kanto said, resigning alone would not be able to calm the anger of the Quartz Alliance.
But now there is another explosion that threatens the safety of civilians. Jun Shakui may have to die to apologize in order to prevent the Junsha family from being criticized too badly!
"By the way, in order to prevent you from being too bored... let's present the third gift first." Ma Zhishi said and pressed the remote control again.
The most violent shaking and explosion sounded...
"Calm down, calm down... I only detonated the external power supply room, not the energy room, and the ship will not sink. But if you are too impatient and let me blow up all the anti-sinking warehouses, then we can only see how many people your water Pokémon can save!" Ma Zhishi said.
At this moment, the cabins where the guests lived on the lower floors were in chaos because of the power outage...
At this time, Guan Liyuan and Nancy had already appeared on the third floor from the top where the power went out first. Hearing the exclamations below, Guan Liyuan couldn't help but say with a grim face: "These bastards really dare to do it... And that guy Sakaki! Is this what he said about being ready?"
And Nancy's face became even uglier. She had already understood a little...
"The one we saw that day... was probably not Lord Sakaki!"
Guan Liyuan had previously handed over dozens of Poké Balls to Tipo, Misty, Satoshi, and Brock. The Poké Balls were all specially selected by Guan Liyuan, such as Howler, King Whale, and Megafin, Pokémon that can carry a large number of humans on the water. In case
the ship really couldn't hold on, these could serve as lifeboats...
But now it was a stormy day, and putting people on the backs of Pokémon was definitely not a good choice. It would be better to save the "Saint Anno"!
If it weren't for the fact that humans in the Pokémon world are more resistant to being messed with, there would probably be casualties by now!
"Stop! Who is it? Don't go any closer to the upstairs..." A member of Team Rocket with flaming red hair stopped Guan Liyuan and Nancy in a panic.
Guan Liyuan took a closer look and found that it was an old "acquaintance"... It was the Musashi he had met at the Zhenghui Research Institute!
In the gyms, bars, and passages on the third floor, the "R" and "SR" were fighting... Pokémon skills, the kind that can be used directly on trainers!
