Pokemon: I Transmigrated Twice-Chapter 234: Pokemon: I Transmigrated Twice []

"Take him down, Beedrill!"

Giovanni's mangled back was no act, but his rage made him forget the pain.

Mega Beedrill's twin stingers, sharper than blades, whirled with wind as it attacked.

Each strike, like a martial arts master's finger strike, targeted Mega Red Gyarados's weakest spots.

"Hey! You guys, are you ignoring me—"

"Get lost!"

Carr, feeling ignored, yelled.

But before he finished, Green, who'd lost all her Pokémon in her fight with Blue, leaped forward.

She delivered a flying kick right to the shorty's face.

Blue, debating whether to help Lance or ambush Giovanni, was stunned.

When did Green get so fierce?

Skarmory, seeing its master sent flying, snapped out of its daze.

It slashed at Green with its wing-blade like a guillotine.

"Green!"

Silver shouted. In his eyes, the blade closed in on Green's head.

Fwoosh!

A swirling flame shot past Green's nose, engulfing Skarmory.

Skarmory screamed, its silver body turning black, then collapsed.

Flame Wheel!?

Green turned toward the source.

Next to Joker, three Houndooms had appeared, disdainfully watching Skarmory faint.

Green's eyes darted. She grabbed Silver's hand and rushed behind Joker.

"Green, you—"

Silver started, but Green pressed a finger to her lips. "Don't talk. This is the safest place in the world right now."

Bang!

A crash echoed from the field.

Looking up, the Mega Red Gyarados had been smashed into the stands, crushing countless seats.

Lysandre's Red Gyarados were impressive and even stronger under Lance, maybe even surpassing his blue Gyarados.

But against Giovanni's Beedrill, it wasn't enough.

"You're next."

Gyarados down, Giovanni showed no mercy.

Mega Beedrill's speed peaked, about to pierce Lance's throat.

"Don't—!"

Silver shouted instinctively.

He'd only known Giovanni as his father for half an hour, but he didn't want Lance to die.

To Silver, Lance, who'd raised him for a year, meant even more than Giovanni.

"Stephen-kun! Help!"

Giovanni called out.

But to everyone's surprise, as Beedrill closed in, Lance just smirked and threw a Master Ball.

It opened mid-air, releasing a blinding light that filled the battlefield.

Even champions like Cynthia were shocked.

"Isn't that a bit much?"

Gold gaped.

As he spoke, a giant silhouette appeared overhead.

It was...Dragonite!

A Dragonite over thirty meters tall, like a Dynamaxed Pokémon!

Even Galar Champion Leon was stunned. "Did he just use a Dynamax Band?"

Stephen blinked. "That Dragonite must be... Hah, can't believe Lance caught it."

In the anime, there was a giant Dragonite, theorized to be an ancient survivor or the leader of Dragonite Island.

Doesn't matter—Lance had it now.

"Everyone, get away!"

Lance pointed at Beedrill.

"Draco Meteor Dive!"

Blue flames surged from the giant Dragonite, engulfing the entire plateau.

The pressure was suffocating even for viewers at home, let alone those present.

Ash, Gold, and the others stared upward in shock.

Even having witnessed the gods' battle in Lumiose, this left them stunned.

"In you go."

Stephen's shout came.

A golden ring appeared beside the main cast, Hoopa's tiny hand beckoning.

Red pulled his little brother in without hesitation.

Blue booted his annoying sibling in, then followed.

"Green, let's go!"

Silver didn't know who to help, but the priority was to escape.

But just as he finished, Green shoved him into the ring.

Silver, falling, stared at her in disbelief.

Green stuck out her tongue playfully. "You go first, Silver. I'm staying here."

Before the shocked Silver could reply, the portal swallowed him.

"Can you stop protecting me, King~?"

Green winked at Joker.

Before Joker could reply—

Above, apocalyptic power crashed down, like the clash of Conqueror's Haki. The attack hadn't even landed, but the pressure was crushing the ground.

Boom—Boom boom boom!

Dragonite's full-power Draco Meteor Dive obliterated the recently rebuilt Indigo Stadium.

Every TV watching the Kanto broadcast turned to static.

No need to guess—the new ace's attack just destroyed all the broadcast equipment.

"This feels familiar..."

Blue, teleported to Alola by Hoopa, muttered.

Half a year ago in Lumiose, when Team Flare attacked, they were sent away the same way.

Hoopa's powers were truly useful—at least innocent lives were spared.

"Dr. Stephen and Champion Cynthia...wait, Cynthia didn't come back?"

Leon scanned the scene, spotting two missing people.

Agatha calmly said, "Joker's still there. If he joins the fight, it'll be trouble. Stephen probably stayed for that reason."

"Didn't expect Lance to have such a terrifying trump card. Giovanni's doomed now!"

Gold laughed.

Blue elbowed him, gesturing at Silver.

Gold quickly shut up.

For Silver, either side dying would be bad.

"Giovanni probably won't die—Joker's still there."

Agatha narrowed her eyes. "The real problem is how to explain this to the people. Chairman, don't forget the Team Flare incident was just months ago."

Goodshow sighed.

Lysandre's rebellion as Kalos League chairman was just half a year ago.

Now the strongest Gym Leader's gone rogue.

Goodshow looked at the other chairmans, champions, and elites.

He even suspected there were more traitors among them.

"Agatha, any suggestions?"

Goodshow asked, exhausted.

"...Let's go back. If possible, while Lance is on top, let's take Giovanni down."

Agatha said bluntly.

The situation was complicated, but with Giovanni's identity exposed, the best move was to act quickly.

All the League higher-ups nodded.

"Trainer of Hoopa...is it Meray? Could you help us?"

...

Amid the smoky ruins, a wall in the stands slumped.

Cough cough!

Cynthia's dry cough rang out. She looked up at Bewear, standing like a giant to shield her.

"Thank you, Bewear, you're so reliable."

Cynthia nodded in gratitude.

"Hey, what about me?"

Stephen's teasing voice came.

"Thanks to you too, alright?"

Cynthia replied, exasperated.

She turned to the chaotic ruins—then her eyes widened in shock.

There...was that Carr, one of Team Rocket's Three Beasts?!

Nearby, Green exclaimed, "Wow...that's one huge Dragonite! Is Giovanni okay? If he dies, Silver will be devastated..."

Then she looked at Joker, raising her fingers in a greeting, "Oh~ Nice to meet you, King of Team Rocket. I'm Green, your fan!"

Joker didn't answer, just stared in surprise at the girl.

Green giggled. "It's normal you don't know me, but to me, you're my benefactor. I've always wanted to thank you in person."

"Well~ You just saved me again, so I owe even more."

Green put her hands behind her back, smiling sweetly. "Can I join Team Rocket? I'm pretty strong, you know."

Joker struggled internally.

Zoroark: This sounded like trouble. Better let Master handle it.

Outside the stadium ruins.

A golden ring rapidly expanded.

Agatha, Leon, Steven, and other top League fighters stepped out.

Amid the smoke, barely any seats were left, but it was still recognizable as Indigo Stadium.

In the center of the debris, the giant Dragonite stood like a god of destruction.

"The stadium was just rebuilt a few months ago...You went overboard, Lance."

Bruno griped.

"Hmph! Buildings can be rebuilt, but if the rats escape, catching them again won't be so easy."

Standing atop the Dragonite, Lance scoffed.

"Is Giovanni dead?"

Lorelei looked at her friend.

"How—how could that be..."

Silver, who'd just come out with the others, was stunned.

Lance waved, "Use Hurricane—"

Though he doubted Giovanni survived, just in case, he had Dragonite clear the battlefield. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

But before he finished the word "Hurricane—"

Thud!

A dull thud sounded.

Dragonite's eyes shrank, pain on its face as it staggered back.

The sudden change shocked everyone.

"Just because you caught a rare Dragonite, you got careless?"

Giovanni's voice rang out, full of contempt. "You're not the only one growing stronger."

The smoke cleared.

Everyone could see clearly.

A Pokémon, body black and purple, humanoid yet with feline features, punched Dragonite's belly with dark energy.

That was Shadow Rush!

But more importantly—that aura.

"Shadow Lugia..."

Steven gritted out the name.

It felt just like when Shadow Lugia almost destroyed his Metagross.

Luckily, Xerneas had healed it.

"Let me introduce my new ace—Shadow Mewtwo."

Giovanni turned to the League. "The King's masterpiece, after Shadow Lugia, the second Shadow Pokémon."

Clap, clap, clap

Applause rang out.

Everyone turned.

At the back, Sird, one of the Three Beasts, clapped. "Ah~ Congratulations! Now that Carr's dead, Giovanni remains the boss. But as long as the King's here, I don't care who's boss~"

Joker stood, seemingly ready to leave.

To everyone's shock, Green followed.

"Green! What are you—?!"

Ash cried.

"Sorry guys, I've decided to join him."

Green stuck out her tongue.

"Don't, child! Team Rocket is—"

Not only Ash and the others, but the League heads changed color. Green's potential was championship-level—she could have been the next Cynthia or Diantha.

Such talent joining Team Rocket would be a major loss.

"Grandpa Goodshow,"

Green interrupted, "I was one of the kids kidnapped by the Masked Man six years ago—who was actually Pryce. The League may not have announced it, but you know."

Many League members were shocked.

Green...was one of those kidnapped children?

Green continued, "When we were in danger, it wasn't the League that saved us—it was him."

She glanced at Joker. "I know Team Rocket is a criminal group, but I want to walk my path."

Part of Green's reason for joining was gratitude.

But there was another reason she kept to herself.

Goodshow was speechless.

Because Green was right.

"Green..."

Silver hesitated.

After five years of partnership, he sensed Green had another reason for joining.

"Live well in your world."

Green waved, putting up a carefree front and winking. "Don't miss your big sis too much~"

"Boss, time to withdraw."

Orm reminded.

"No. I'm killing him."

Giovanni glared at Lance.

He was determined to kill him today.

"Bring it on!"

Lance shouted.

Shadow Mewtwo's power surprised him.

But even so, he wouldn't back down.

You want to kill me today?

I want you dead too!

"Hyper Beam!"

With Lance's roar, Dragonite unleashed a black-purple ray, obliterating everything, aiming at Shadow Mewtwo.

Shadow Mewtwo vanished instantly.

Teleport!

But as Shadow Mewtwo reappeared, Hyper Beam kept tracking.

Its stamina far exceeded normal Pokémon.

"Aura Sphere!"

Giovanni ordered coldly.

Shadow Mewtwo pressed its fingers together, and pushed its palm forward.

A wave sphere formed instantly.

The next moment, it was engulfed by Hyper Beam—but instead of being destroyed, it expanded, blocking the attack.

"Take him down."

Giovanni ordered again.

Shadow Mewtwo increased its force.

The growing Aura Sphere gradually overpowered the Hyper Beam!
