Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

Chapter 197, the second button

"You'd better think of something we should do!"

"Xiaogang and the others are still lying on the ground; we can't move like this!"

"White Sea Lion, use 'Ice Beam'!"

While talking to Lu An, Kona directed the white sea lion to drive away a giant beaked bat.

Although Kona is known as the Ice Queen and has the special skill of creating ice puppets, that skill is only applicable to one-on-one battles.

She also had to protect Brock and the others in front of forty or fifty rampaging Pokémon, which was quite difficult even for her.

Lu An's eyes lit up, and he immediately came up with a solution:

"Swampert, use Water Pledge on the group of Pokémon!"

"Little cat thief, use 'Grass Oath'!"

Upon hearing the trainer's command, Swampert and Meowth immediately responded.

"Meow!"

"Ratchet!"

Two Pokémon attacked simultaneously, and water and grass columns, each a meter or two wide, appeared around the dozens of Silver Mt. Pokémon.

After the water and grass pillars appeared, they collided with each other.

Instantly, the area beneath the Silver Mt. Pokémon's feet turned into a wetland, and the speed of all the Pokémon heading towards Luanke and the others decreased significantly.

The special effect of "Water Pledge" + "Grass Pledge" is to turn the field into a wetland, greatly reducing the speed of Pokémon.

With the help of the combo attack, Kona finally caught her breath.

Dew Lion and the others were still blocking the Pokémon pack, while Lorelei and Luan supported Brock and the others, leaning against the inside of Moltres's cave.

With the cave providing cover, the attacks that were originally coming from all directions were suddenly reduced to only needing to deal with one side.

Kona's pressure was greatly reduced.

Still limp and powerless, Xiao Gang felt somewhat ashamed:

"I'm sorry, Lu An, Kona, I should be protecting the team, but now I'm the one who needs to be protected by you."

Lu An patted Xiao Gang on the shoulder:

"Don't talk about that. If it weren't for Sakaki and Sachi's behind-the-scenes machinations, we wouldn't have encountered these things."

"Sakaki?"

Xiao Gang was shocked when he heard Lu An's words. What did this have to do with Sakaki?

"Is Sakaki also at Mt. Shirogane?"

Kona was also somewhat shocked. She had been wondering how Sachi, who was only one person, dared to attack their team.

Now Kona understands why Sachi dared to make a move when Giovanni was around.

At the same time, she also felt a little scared.

If Giovanni had ambushed her just now, even Lorelei wouldn't be able to guarantee she could have survived Giovanni's Beedrill attack.

Why didn't she see Sakaki?

Lu An answered Kona's question:

“Gibbon is hiding inside the Moltres Cave. If I hadn’t left Brock and the others outside, we would have been caught in a pincer attack by Sachi and Giovanni while dealing with Moltres.”

At this point, Lu An felt somewhat fortunate that his habitual wariness of the Rockets had actually saved his team at a crucial moment.

Otherwise, the situation would be much worse than it is now.

Before Kona and Xiaogang could process this news, Lu An dropped another bombshell:

"In addition, Moltres has been captured by Giovanni, and the fact that Moltres appeared at Mt. Silver was a deliberate leak from Team Rocket."

"Just now, the firebird flew out of the cave under Sakaki's instructions and lured Bai Ling and the others away."

"Not only Moltres, but all three legendary birds have been captured by Team Rocket."

Xiao Gang, who was paralyzed, could hardly believe his ears:

"The three legendary birds have all been caught by Team Rocket? Could it be that Team Rocket is lying to you?"

It wasn't that Xiao Gang didn't trust Lu An, but rather that he was unwilling to believe that the trail of Moltres, which even the league had gone to great lengths to find, was actually a trap set by the Rockets.

In addition to Moltres, Zapdos and Articuno have also become Team Rocket's prized possessions.

Lu An nodded:

"It's absolutely true. I just fought Articuno and Zapdos in the Moltres Cave."

Xiao Gang gritted his teeth:

"Once we get off Mount Shirogane, we'll definitely settle the score with Sakaki."

"As the head of the Tokiwa Dojo, he can't just run away."

However, unlike the indignant Xiao Gang, Lu An remained quite calm.

Kona also shook her head:

"It's no use, Xiao Gang. In the entire Silver Mountain, the only person who has ever seen Sakaki in person is Lu An."

"Given Sakaki's usual meticulousness, he won't give us any evidence to link him to the Rockets."

Lu An agrees with Cona's opinion:

“Sakaki and Sachi have already left on Zapdos and Articuno.”

"If I'm not mistaken, by the time we come down Mt. Silver and take the League Police to the Viridian Gym, he'll definitely already have a solid alibi waiting for us."

Xiao Gang was discouraged:

"Isn't there any way for us to punish him, to punish the Rockets?"

"There will be a way, it's just..."

"boom!"

A huge explosion.

Lu An and the other two stopped talking.

Even the rampaging Pokémon on Mt. Silver briefly paused their attack.

"Boom boom boom!"

Then came a series of explosions.

......

Above Baiyin Mountain, two sacred birds are flying in the sky.

However, each of these two sacred birds had a human on its back, making them no longer as unapproachable as they seemed.

Sachi looked at Sakaki in the howling wind:

"Chief, I'm sorry, my mission has failed."

Giovanni stared straight ahead. Although he was standing on Zapdos, his shoulders remained completely still, as stable as if he were standing on solid ground.

"It's alright. What I value most in this trip to Silver Mountain is whether I can subdue Lu An or kill him."

"Beedrill's sneak attack is the key to whether or not Lu An can be defeated. If Beedrill's sneak attack fails, Lu An's vigilance will be raised infinitely, and there will be no need to continue trying to kill him."

"As for the others, they are just minor characters and not worth mentioning."

"After all, we still have one last trick up our sleeve."

"Besides..."

Sakaki placed his hands, which had been behind his back, in front of his eyes:

"If we can obtain Lu An's blood, this trip can be considered a failure."

In Sakaki's right hand, half a vial of blood was being tightly clutched.

That was the blood that the giant bee secretly took from Lu An when it attacked him and injured his neck!

Just then, a Pokémon engulfed in flames flew over from the right side of Zapdos and Articuno.

Sakaki glanced at Moltres, one of the three legendary birds:

"It looks like you've shaken off the investigators. I just wonder if they've rejoined Lu An and the others yet."

Sakaki shook his head and looked at Sachi:

"Forget it, Lu An is the one we need to be most wary of in that team. If we drag this out any longer, things might change. We shouldn't try to wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

Seeing the look in Sakaki's eyes, Sachi immediately understood, took a button out of his pocket, and pressed it hard!
