Pokemon, a genius scientist who traveled from one piece

"...It seems she wasn't kidnapped by Joker, but willingly left with him."

After a brief, awkward silence, Lance suddenly stood up, his gaze turning cold.

Originally, his attitude towards Erika had been relatively mild. He thought her withholding information might have been due to the shock from Team Rocket's villains, causing her to have some unspeakable reasons.

It seems he misjudged her.

"Calm down, Lance. Maybe there's some misunderstanding here," Damon suggested.

"With a magnetic remote control, what misunderstanding could there be?" Lance sneered.

Joker actually gave such an important item to Erika.

In Lance's view, there was only one reason—they were in cahoots.

Did Joker convince Erika last night?

Or had these two been mixed up together even earlier?

Lance didn't want to think so much; he was in a hurry to get over there.

No matter what reason Erika had for joining Team Rocket, as long as he could catch her, he could follow the vine and catch Joker!

"Lance, don't reveal Erika's identity in public. I suspect... the child must have her reasons," Damon instructed.

Erika was a very talented child, and Damon hoped she could contribute to the League in the future.

As long as her true identity wasn't exposed, cleaning up the mess afterward would be much easier.

Lance frowned secretly, then quickened his pace and left without a word.

Just then, the police received an emergency call, and Lance set off with the police force.

Damon didn't say anything more.

He knew that with Lance's personality, silence meant agreement.

"What... exactly happened?"

Damon turned to look at Erika on TV, who had transformed into a fierce bandit, looting and plundering.

He had met Erika before, and in Damon's opinion, she was definitely a good candidate to be a trainer.

Now that Koga was getting older,

When Erika grew up, she might be able to seamlessly take over Koga's position.

How could she now be...?

...

...

Intersection.

The Officer Jenny's police force that arrived had evacuated the public to a hundred meters away.

Only the police cars surrounding the intersection and the Azure Television's camera crew remained.

Ursaring and Murkrow had successfully blended into the crowd and escaped.

But to cover these Pokémon, Erika didn't have time to run.

"Little friend, put your Pokémon away and don't move," an Officer Jenny shouted from the front of the leading police car, holding a loudspeaker.

Facing the dense police force opposite, Erika couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Where did Joker run off to? He doesn't expect me to handle this situation alone, does he?"

Erika muttered to herself.

When she contacted him just now, Su Sheng's reply was, "Just stand still."

Erika couldn't understand what that guy was thinking at all.

The Officer Jenny holding the loudspeaker flashed a hint of sympathy in her eyes and shouted again:

"Little sister! Why are you doing this? Do you have any difficulties? You can tell me, and I'll help you find a way..."

"Woof woof!"

"Woof woof!"

However, Officer Jenny's Growlithe and Erika's Houndour looked at each other as if they were natural enemies and started barking.

Erika's brow furrowed slightly under the bandages.

That guy, he doesn't really want me to break through alone, does he?

Or does he want me to add another charge of "assaulting a police officer" to make things even bigger?

Erika gritted her teeth secretly.

Well, now that she had chosen this path, she might as well go all the way.

"Let's go, Hound—"

"Dragonite, Dragon Pulse!"

Just as Erika was preparing to force her way through with her Houndour, a beam of violent dragon fire descended from the sky.

Separating the "spraying" Houndour and Growlithe in a horizontal line.

"Stop barking! You two stupid dogs!"

Everyone looked up in the direction of the majestic shout.

The cameraman of Azure Television also subconsciously aimed the camera at the sky.

"Oh oh oh! It's Champion Lance! Champion Lance is here!"

In Viridian City, a little girl only about four years old clapped her hands excitedly when she saw the imposing figure standing on Dragonite.

Her name was "Kris," and she was a fan of Lance of the Indigo League Four.

Although Lance wasn't as approachable as Leon, his popularity in the Kanto and Johto regions was indeed not inferior to the latter.

On the one hand, his strength was indeed strong enough, and on the other hand, the Alliance was also willing to support him.

...

Standing on Dragonite's back, Lance slowly descended, with two Dragonair coiled around his shoulders like left and right guardians.

During the descent, Lance crossed his arms in front of his chest, and questioned Erika with the same imposing manner:

"I'm not interested in why you did this, but I know that as long as I catch you, I can force that guy out."

Lance slowly jumped off Dragonite's back, his eyes without any fluctuation, and said again:

"You have some talent, but you're not stupid enough to think you can beat me, are you? Are you going to put them on obediently, or call that guy to save you?"

As he spoke, Lance threw a "silver bracelet" in front of Erika with a backhand.

"So handsome!"

Also living in Viridian City, a boy of about four years old named "AJ" also watched with shining eyes.

It had to be said that in terms of pretending, no one on the Pokémon continent could compare to him, Dragon Master Lance!

Erika gritted her teeth secretly.

Damn Joker, this wasn't in the plan!

At this moment, Erika's mood was the same as that of a cannon fodder.

Huh? Me fight Dragon Master Lance?

"Champion Lance! There!"

Suddenly, an Officer Jenny behind Lance pointed to the sky and shouted.

Lance and everyone at the scene looked up in the direction she was pointing.

Lance's pupils shrank.

He's here!

He's really here!

"It's Joker! Joker appeared!"

Many residents of the surrounding streets also saw it.

On the top of the department store, the Alliance's A-level wanted criminal Joker, controlling a hang glider, appeared!

"Don't even think about using the same trick on me, Lance, twice."

Lance jumped onto Dragonite's back and rose into the air.

Two Dragonair followed closely behind.

He had seen the ability of the magnetic remote control many times.

So when he came out of Erika's villa, he released Dragonite and two Dragonair in one go.

With the combination of the three dragons, even that Beedrill was nothing to fear.

"I have no interest in how you persuaded that little girl. I'll just throw you into the Alliance prison and slowly interrogate you."

Riding on Dragonite's back and flying to Joker, Lance's mouth raised high, "Come on, release your Beedrill. Don't think that the previous tricks will work on me a second time!"

In an instant, almost the entire Johto's attention was focused on the two people in the sky above Viridian City.

The audience in front of the TV stared unblinkingly at the two dueling figures in the picture.

And the citizens of Viridian City on the scene, one by one, craned their necks and stared at the two black and red figures above.

Without noticing that while they were all looking up.

A beam of spider silk shot out from the crowd, stuck to Erika's shoulder, and pulled her into the crowd.

"Say something, or are those crooked ways of yours useless in the face of such a situation?"

Seeing that Joker on the opposite side didn't say a word, Lance spoke again.

However, the only response he received was silence.

At the same time, Lance also noticed something was wrong.

Joker had been in a flying state parallel to the ground, with his hang glider open.

But at this moment, he was frozen in place as if he had been hit by a body-fixing technique, which... was a bit contrary to the laws of physics.

"Dragonair! Catch him!"

Lance became more and more certain that something was wrong, and the next second he suddenly raised his hand and ordered.

A Dragonair on the left flew out, its slender body like a golden rope, instantly tying up the opposite Joker.
