as predicted.
After his sneak attack failed, General Pu Dao did not continue his attack but instead sheathed his sword and retreated to the side.
Several figures emerged from the woods.
The leader was a woman.
Short red hair, a cool and aloof face, wearing a black Team Rocket uniform with an R badge representing her executive status pinned to her chest.
Badge.
He was followed by a dozen or so Team Rocket members, each with a Pokémon by their side.
Arcanine, Gyarados, Crobat, Nidoking, Nidoqueen...
Each one exudes an aura of at least a dojo level.
Xia Chi looked at the person in the lead and frowned slightly.
That's... Athena, a member of the Rockets?
How did she end up here...?
It couldn't possibly be just to catch a few wild Pokémon, could it?
If that were the case, it wouldn't have prompted a Rockets executive of Athena's caliber to take action.
This isn't the habitat of any rare Pokémon.
Could it be that they are also here to find the Crowned King?
The moment this thought crossed Xia Chi's mind, his thoughts became instantly clear.
Sakaki was previously involved in the event of reviving Mugentana.
In addition, there was their covetousness and research of the legendary elves.
It is not impossible to send a group of people to the Crown Snowfield to search for the legendary spirits of this place.
After all, this place not only houses the Calycerin King, but also the two legendary divine horses, the Snowstorm Horse and the Spirit Horse, as well as the three legendary birds of Galar.
When it comes to the density of legendary elves, the Crown Snowfield is second to none.
Countless thoughts raced through Xia Chi's mind, but he didn't show them on his face.
He originally wanted to go down immediately to help the Crowned Queen out of her predicament.
But now he has decided to hold back and wait and see.
Below, Team Rocket, led by Athena, had already surrounded Calyrex and the other little guys.
The encirclement was impenetrable; every Pokémon had locked onto its target and was ready to strike at any moment.
The Snow Children and the others trembled with fear at the sight, huddled together, their little eyes filled with terror.
Big-headed Nyula—no, it should be called the Crowned Queen now—stood in front of them.
Athena stepped forward, a professional smile on her face.
The smile looked incredibly sincere, but deep down there was a chilling coldness in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, we mean no harm."
The Crowned King did not reply.
It simply stared coldly at Athena and her companions, protecting the few elves behind it.
No malicious intent?
What was that sneak attack just now?
Are you kidding me?
Ignoring the Queen of the Crown's silence, Athena continued, "Believe me, our Rockets team's goal is to cooperate with you."
She paused, her tone becoming more sincere: "We can help you regain your power and restore the land of Galar, which rightfully belongs to you, to your control. You were once the king of this land, and you deserve to rule it again."
That's a well-said statement.
There is the lure of profit, and the desire to restore strength.
He was again swayed by emotions and returned to the throne.
If it were a regular legendary Pokémon, I might actually be moved.
But the Crowned Queen only responded with a cold laugh.
Although Athena's tone was incredibly sincere, how could the long-lived and wise King of the Crown not see through her sinister intentions?
So-called cooperation is nothing more than one-sided exploitation.
What was the price the Rockets paid for helping it regain its strength?
They will inevitably become puppets of what these people call "Team Rocket".
At that time, one's fate will be beyond one's control.
Athena's smile gradually faded as she realized that her words had failed to sway the King of the Lace-Crowned.
She stopped pretending and revealed her true colors.
He leaned forward slightly, taking a step closer with an oppressive posture, and sneered, "I'm giving you face... you don't really think you have a choice, do you?"
His voice was full of sarcasm and disdain.
The Crowned King remained silent.
It stood quietly in front of the little creatures, its gaze calmly meeting Athena's.
He was once the king of the Crown Snowfield.
Although it has been powerless for a long time, it has never been so humiliated.
This feeling fueled the anger within him.
However, the huge gap in strength forced it to exercise restraint.
It glanced coldly at the encirclement, its brain racing, thinking about how to escape in a moment.
The thought had barely formed when Athena spoke.
She seemed to see right through the Crowned Queen's thoughts, and her smile became even more sarcastic.
"Don't even think about running away."
She raised her hand and pointed to the few trembling little creatures behind the Crane Queen.
"You might escape, but what about them?"
Although it wasn't said explicitly, the meaning couldn't be clearer: if you run, they will die.
The idea of the Crowned Queen escaping vanished instantly.
It glanced back at the little ones behind it.
The Snow Child was staring at it with its big eyes, its gaze filled with fear and helplessness.
The sneezing bear curled up into a ball, shivering.
Bingbao lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone.
The Ice Vulpix... that little Ice Vulpix, despite trembling with fear, still raised its head and looked at it.
Those eyes held fear, but even more so, they held unwavering determination.
It was as if they were saying, "Don't worry about us, just run away."
The Crowned King's heart skipped a beat.
It turned its head and looked at the enemy that was constantly approaching.
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes.
As a legendary king.
Although its power has dissipated to a mere fraction due to the loss of faith, it has been reduced to almost nothing.
But if it fights to the death, it still has ways to defeat these enemies and escape with the little ones.
But the cost was also heavy—
Even if people begin to believe in it again in the future, it will never be able to regain its power.
In other words, this is the entire future of "legend" that will be traded for a sliver of hope in this moment.
But even at such a heavy price, it will never fall into the hands of people like these!
The Crowned Queen had already made up her mind.
It took a deep breath, and the little remaining power within its body began to slowly surge.
Athena sensed something was wrong, and her expression changed.
"Let's do it!"
She shouted sternly, "Don't give it a chance!"
The encirclement tightened instantly, and more than a dozen Pokémon rushed towards Calyrex at the same time.
The Queen closed her eyes, preparing for a desperate fight.
At the critical moment, an excited voice suddenly came from the sky.
"Tini!"
The sound was crisp and clear, full of vitality, and stood out starkly in the desolate snow forest.
Everyone was stunned.
The Crowned King paused for a moment, then looked up at the scene with a slightly bewildered expression.
But then a strangely shaped little sprite descended from the sky, carrying a blazing V-shaped flame.
The V-shaped flame, like a small sun, shone brightly in the sky above the snow.
Victini, here we come!
Although he's positioned as a mascot within the team, Bictini's skill level is undeniably championship-caliber.
"Champion-level" might not be enough to describe its strength.
After all, this guy contains infinite energy and is a legendary being that can bring victory to any Pokémon.
Not to mention the dozen or so champion-level Pokémon led by Athena.
Even if ten more come, Victini won't be afraid.
Accompanied by the V-shaped flames descending from the sky.
In that instant, the entire snow forest was illuminated as bright as day.
The golden-orange flames, like a falling sun, crashed into the very center of the encirclement with devastating force.
boom-
Amidst the deafening explosion, blazing flames swept outwards in a ring.
The snow evaporated instantly, and a huge crater was blasted into the ground, with dirt and gravel flying everywhere.
Most of the Pokémon that besieged Calyrex were directly blasted into incapacitated.
It wasn't that the other half was more resilient; it was just that they were farther away and weren't directly affected by the V-shaped flame.
But the shockwave still knocked them to the ground, and they rolled several times before barely managing to regain their balance.
Even so, they were quite shocked by what they saw.
The Arcanine lay on the ground, trembling all over, its tail tucked tightly between its legs; it had lost all its former majestic appearance.
Gyarados's originally ferocious expression froze completely; its mouth was open, but no sound came out.
King Nido and Queen Nido huddled together, the two enormous creatures trembling like frightened children.
Not one dared to take a step forward.
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
The flames gradually died down.
A small figure emerged from the firelight.
Bictini landed, steadily blocking the path between the Crane King and the little ones.
Two little hands were placed on her hips, her little head was slightly raised, and her chin was held high.
His posture and expression practically screamed "smugness" on his face.
Normally, it's the cats and dogs that do these kinds of things.
It has nothing to do with saving the world, the hero's debut, or the triumphant ending.
It can only cheer from the sidelines by shouting "Tini Tini" or be responsible for being cute and lively.
This time it's finally Victini's turn!
It has to make a big show of itself, right?
Thinking of this, it puffed out its little chest even more and put its hands on its hips in a more standard pose.
It glanced out of the corner of its eye at a Crowned King staring blankly at it from behind. The other little creatures were also stunned, especially the Ice Sixtail, whose eyes were wide open and whose little mouths were agape.
perfect!
This audience reaction deserves full marks!
Victini was secretly delighted, but she had to maintain a cool and aloof demeanor.
It turned to look at Athena and the rest of Team Rocket.
The expressions on those people's faces were all grim.
Athena's usually stern face was now as black as the bottom of a pot, her eyes filled with solemnity and fear.
Bictini was even more pleased with himself.
See? As soon as they saw this elf arrive, all the bad guys were too scared to move!
Unfortunately, this was just wishful thinking on Bictini's part.
In fact, the most important reason for Athena's solemn expression was not Bictini herself at all—
Although this little guy is indeed ridiculously strong, Henry wouldn't be so scared as to scare a Team Rocket officer out of his wits.
What truly terrified her was the deeper reason behind Bictini's arrival.
As everyone knows, Xia Chi is the only place in the world that has this Pokémon.
The appearance of Bictini naturally meant that Xia Chi was also nearby.
The man who single-handedly fought against Mutsuta.
The man who utterly shattered Team Rocket's plans over the skies above Motostoke.
She already knew everything about the situation in Quan Guan City.
The Rockets' plan failed completely, and their leader, Giovanni, perished.
Their group was fortunate enough to escape the final battle because they were carrying out a mission previously issued by Sakaki—to find the legendary Crescent King.
Athena was one of the earliest and most meritorious members of Team Rocket who followed Giovanni in establishing the team.
She followed Giovanni through thick and thin, even when he was just a leader of an underground organization.
He watched Team Rocket grow stronger step by step, expanding from Kanto to Johto, and transforming from an underground force into a force that the entire League feared.
Although the leader has perished, she still retains the will to inherit Giovanni's spirit and rebuild Team Rocket's glory.
Find and capture the legendary Rathalos, and utilize its special ability to draw upon the power of faith; perhaps you can find a chance to turn the tide.
This is Athena's next plan.
She made extensive preparations for this—
After consulting ancient books and searching for clues, they tracked the trail all the way to Guanxueyuan and waited for half a month before finally waiting for Lei Guanshuai to appear.
It was so close...
She can then seize the opportunity to escape and make a comeback.
Who would have thought that I would run into Xia Chi in such a godforsaken place!
What the hell is this luck?
Athena was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder.
After all, she was a meritorious member of the Rockets, having weathered countless storms.
She knew that regret and remorse were useless.
The situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse.
The appearance of Bictini means that Xiachi is nearby.
Perhaps the next second, that man will fall from the sky.
Athena's mind raced, and she quickly made a judgment.
Tame the Brilliant Crown?
Don't even think about it.
Another legendary Victini?
She dared not covet even the slightest bit.
Lan Yi's current thought is how to escape from Xia Chi's clutches.
"Get out of here! Split up and escape!"
Athena whispered, her voice extremely low.
She waved, and the Rockets members snapped out of their daze and immediately scattered, running in different directions.
Now, all we can do is pray that Xia Chi isn't nearby...
Athena ran while silently praying in her heart.
If she could escape this calamity, she vowed never to return to the Roaring Snowfield again in her life.
Hen was saddened that Arceus did not answer her prayers.
Another voice came from the sky.
The sound approached rapidly from afar.
Before Athena could even look up, a terrifying aura had already enveloped the entire snow forest.
She suddenly looked up.
It was a turquoise figure that moved so fast that its shape became blurred.
Like pulling out a shooting star, like pulling out a bolt of lightning.
The oppressive feeling emanating from that figure instantly caused Athena's legs to lose all strength.
A false alarm is a sign of death.
It's over...
These were Athena's last thoughts before she lost consciousness.
To deal with these remnants of Team Rocket, Xia Chi didn't even need to send Lanlan to help; it wouldn't be that much trouble.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Meowha and Victini are weak.
On the contrary, for this battlefield, Meowha doesn't even need to warm up; a simple wave of its hand is enough to finish the job.
Hensha Pool did not let them hold back.
He stood in the snow, watching Dragonite, Meowth, and Victini quickly clear the battlefield.
None of the Team Rocket members who scattered and fled managed to escape the snowy forest.
Xia Chi watched this scene with a calm expression.
