Knights of the Elf World

Chapter 221 The Storm Subsides

"Come back, Mewtwo. Only Team Rocket is your destiny. Only Team Rocket can make you stronger!" Banmu said crazily, "By then, you will be the most powerful Pokémon in the world. Together with Team Rocket, you will rule the world!"

"Who is this uncle?" Xiaozhi asked puzzledly, looking at Banmu who was talking nonsense.

"Ibanmu, the leader of Team Rocket." Xichen revealed Ibanmu's identity.

"He is the boss of the evil organization Team Rocket!" Xiaoxia said in surprise. She didn't expect that the leader of Team Rocket looked so...ordinary, but the aura of a superior emanating from him could not be faked.

"Human, your ambition is terrifying!" Lugia also frowned and looked at Itsuki, and the three sacred birds also made dissatisfied cries, wanting to teach Itsuki a lesson and let him know that there are always people better than you, but they were stopped by Mewtwo.

"This is my business, you don't need to interfere!"

"Ha, the strongest?" Perhaps if he hadn't met Xichen and these things hadn't happened, Mewtwo might really have been moved by Itsuki's words. No, there was no such possibility. Itsuki only regarded himself as a tool to realize his ambitions. Moreover, after seeing Dark Lugia and Arceus, Mewtwo realized how inadequate he was. A Dark Lugia could beat him so badly, not to mention Arceus, the God of Creation.

"Mewtwo." At this time, Xichen looked at Mewtwo and said firmly: "I will go on with you!"

"......How corny." Mewtwo looked at Xichen deeply, then complained, and then moved his gaze to Banmu: "I know that I am still some distance away from the strongest. Maybe there are really some means in Team Rocket that can make me stronger, but I am Mewtwo, and of course I have to explore the road to becoming stronger by myself!"

Then Mewtwo stretched out a hand and put it on Xichen's shoulder: "I will also have like-minded partners on this road, but it is obvious that person is not you, Banmu!"

"So, are you rejecting me?" After hearing what Mewtwo said, Banmu's face became completely gloomy.

"Go ahead, take these bastards with you." Mewtwo waved his hand and took back the super powers attached to Itaki and the Rocket Team's miscellaneous soldiers: "Just consider it as repaying you for creating me. The next time we meet, we will be enemies."

In this world, because of Xichen, Mewtwo was not deceived by Itakira. It should be said that Mewtwo never took Itakira's words seriously, so the grudge between one person and one Pokémon was not as big as in the original. Of course, this is just what Mewtwo thinks. Itakira still has a deep obsession with Mewtwo. After all, Mewtwo is the hard work of the entire Team Rocket.

"Leave? Haha, hahaha!" After being released from control, Banmu covered his face and laughed, "Mewtwo, I'm very disappointed with your choice! After all, you belong to Team Rocket, you don't have the right to choose!"

After saying that, Banmu took out a controller and pressed a button. The spaceship behind him suddenly extended several gun barrels and aimed at Xichen and others.

"Do you think you can hurt me with these?" Mewtwo looked at the fully armed spaceship with disdain.

"Of course these things can't cause any harm to you, and Professor Xichen and the others are protected by legendary beasts, but what about the other Pokémon on this island?" Banmu smiled crazily, and the black muzzles of the guns turned and aimed at the island. Some of the weak Pokémon on the island immediately huddled together, trembling with fear.

"You're such a lunatic." Mewtwo's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard that. Xichen also curled his lips. It seemed that he should have chosen a deserted island where no Pokémon lived from the beginning.

"Then, I will destroy this spaceship!" As he said this, Mewtwo accumulated a shadow ball in his hand.

"I advise you not to do that." Banmu grinned and pressed another button. The spaceship immediately projected a light curtain, and on the screen was a group of ordinary Pokémon that were imprisoned. "You don't want these Pokémon to get hurt, do you, Mewtwo? If the spaceship is destroyed, these innocent Pokémon will be doomed."

"Despicable!" Xiaozhi and others looked at Banmu with gritted teeth.

"Come here, Mewtwo. I told you you don't have the right to choose." Itachi smiled with confidence.

Buzz!

Just then, the sound of a propeller was heard. Everyone looked up and saw a helicopter. It then slowly landed, and Professor Oak, Professor Uchiki, and Satoshi's mother Hanako walked out of it.

"Xiaozhi!" As soon as Hanako saw Xiaozhi, she ran up to him excitedly and hugged Xiaozhi tightly in her arms.

"Mom!" Xiaozhi was very happy to see his mother. Just when he was about to tell Hanako what had happened during this period, he was interrupted by Hanako in a crying voice. Hanako questioned Xiaozhi angrily.

"Xiaozhi! I saw everything. Why did you do something so dangerous?"

"Mom...I just saved the world with Brother Xichen." Xiaozhi said weakly.

"So what? In mom's eyes, you are just a child. Why are you messing around? Go and save the world? If Xiaozhi is gone, there will be a world without him, and there will be no my son! Xiaozhi, mom has the world because of you!" Hanako hugged Xiaozhi with tears in her eyes, refusing to let go.

"Mom~" Xiaozhi's voice was a little hoarse at this moment, and he hugged Hanako tightly.

"Itaki, let's stop here." Professor Oak stepped forward and looked at Itaki seriously: "There have been enough troubles in recent times. If you, Team Rocket, want to get involved, I will stop you even if I have to use my old bones to stop you."

"Oaki, Xuecheng!" Banmu looked at Professor Oak with a grim expression. Others might not know, but Banmu knew that the old man in front of him was more than what he seemed on the surface. He was not only an authority in the Pokémon research community, but also the champion of the first Pokémon League.

Although he is old now and many of his Pokémon have passed away, Banmu does not dare to be careless at all. After all, his experience is there.

"Oki Yukinari, even you can't stop me!" But Mewtwo was too tempting to Itsuki, and he was unwilling to retreat like that.

"Then, what about us?" A yellow figure appeared in the air, and then a man and a woman jumped down. They were Yulongdu and Kona.

"The champion of Chengdu and the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto." It seems that Athena and the others have failed.

"Back off, Banmu, you have no chance." Kona pushed his glasses lightly and said coldly, "Or do you, Team Rocket, want to go to war with the Alliance?"

"Boss, we have no chance of winning now, let's retreat first." Manori's reminder came through Banmu's headset.

"...Retreat!" Banmu knew that if he fought to the death with them here, he would be the only one to suffer, so he took the lead and walked towards the spaceship. Before leaving, he took a deep look at Mewtwo and said, "Mewtwo, sooner or later, I will take you back to Team Rocket. This is your home!"

"Wait!" Seeing Banmu was about to leave, Xiao Jian immediately spoke up to stop him, but was stopped by Xichen, who shook his head at him. Everyone could only watch Team Rocket's spaceship leave.

"Why not leave this board behind? Wouldn't it be possible to dismantle an evil organization? And aren't there many innocent Pokémon on the spaceship?" Xiao Jian asked in confusion after the spaceship left.

"It's not that simple." Xichen explained the reason: "Banmu is an out-and-out lunatic. We can indeed keep him here, but he will definitely resist. He is not weak. Moreover, you also said that there are Pokémon on the spaceship. If we really keep him here, he will probably go all out and blow up the spaceship. The Pokémon on the spaceship will be doomed. They are innocent, and there must be more Pokémon caught than this. So we can only wait until next time, until we completely defeat Team Rocket, to rescue those Pokémon."

"So, it is not wise to go to war with Team Rocket now." Yulongdu nodded, agreeing with Xichen's statement.

"Okay, it's all over now." Dr. Oak said to everyone with a smile: "Next, after Dr. Uchiki and I study this matter, we will also prepare to return to Pallet Town. What are your plans?"

"As for me, after Xichen and the others finish explaining what happened and are ready to leave, we have to report this matter to the alliance." Yulongdu stated his plan.

Xichen and everyone looked at each other and nodded, intending to conceal the fact of Arceus's arrival and only tell people about Lugia and the three sacred birds.

In fact, if possible, Xichen also wanted Mewtwo to erase the memories of Xiaozhi and others, but this would be too unfair to Xiaozhi and others.

Next, in response to Yulongdu's inquiries, Xichen took the lead in everything. Xiaozhi and the others only made some supplements. At the same time, Xichen also informed Professor Oak about this matter, saying that Professor Oak needed to hide some things.

"The current alliance is indeed corrupt. It's not unreasonable for you to be wary of them, Xiaochen. I will." Professor Oak nodded and agreed to Xichen's request.

Finally, after Yulongdu sorted out all the information, he returned to the alliance, and Kona also left on his dragon.

Lugia's explosion came to an end here.
