Chapter 279

"You, what's wrong with you! How can you be so strong!"

The trainers were beaten to the ground, and the veteran trainer who spoke before was even trembling all over, kneeling on the ground, and his Pokémon Ferrothorn had already leaned obliquely on the ground, its eyes turned into swirl eyes, losing its combat ability.

Aegislash's Sacred Sword swept across here. The Steel Sacred Sword just comprehended was almost unstoppable, plus the power boost Xiang Guangtai gave Aegislash, the trainers here were almost completely defeated!

"... Huff, huff... Uphold your justice, right, you won, I failed... Weakness is the original sin, strength is the rule."

"Wait, you, you... what are you going to do!"

The veteran trainer looked at Xiang Guangtai reaching out. He was full of vigilance, but the next moment his eyes were hollow and his brain was blank!

He also entered the state of "personality reboot."

Xiang Guangtai shook his hands lightly and looked around.

A large group of people were knocked down in a radiation band shape!

These defeated trainers all accepted Mind Crush.

The Rotom laughing "hee hee" was like a comical and cute clown, twitching and discharging electricity in mid-air, transporting all those iron cages over, and at the same time making the cameras here useless.

Destroying evidence before pranking is the prerequisite for pranking!

"... You, what kind of person are you?"

A psychic was grabbed by Xiang Guangtai. He tried to break free but couldn't. His Pokémon was defeated in an instant, and he felt like he was in a dream and hadn't woken up.

What was that giant sword like a door panel, and what was that silver light that instantly defeated a large group of Pokémon? That move was definitely not Flash Cannon!

Also, why does his Pokémon always occupy the first-hand right? It's too strange. Isn't it too strange!

Even the psychic power of this strange young man in front of me is...

I'm shaking all over!

This psychic felt that he was shaking.

This power is "Forewarn," a Pokémon ability that can detect dangerous moves possessed by the opponent.

When the opponent has a move that is highly effective against itself, the Pokémon with this ability will be timid and issue a warning.

And when the opponent has one-hit KO moves, Self-Destruct, or Explosion, it will also be timid and issue a warning.

It's best to remember this.

Some psychics also possess the same ability, which can detect the strength of the power on the opponent, so as to seek good fortune and avoid disaster.

So, the young man in front of me is!

"I really shouldn't have conducted this challenge. I was clearly already shaking, but I still felt that I could defeat you and then go up a level..."

"I can't win at all, you... monster!"

And then he took a Mind Crush and fell to the ground, his eyes losing their luster, and he also lost his desires and darkness.

Crack! The sound of spiritual shattering rang out!

"Thank you." Xiang Guangtai's palms radiated spiritual fluctuations, and the blue and yellow crystals on his chest radiated faint light at the same time, his expression strange.

When did I become a "monster"?

Isn't it just that my psychic power is slightly stronger than yours? Why are you still unable to lose and scolding people?

"Is it over already?"

"Let's battle next time!"

Xiang Guangtai looked around and found that the "Priority Action" power given by the Tree of Link was truly fierce.

Combined with powerful solar spirit and Extrasensory, he could firmly grasp the battle situation on his side. No matter what, he would be the first to strike, while the opponent's Pokémon would quickly fatigue, so much so that sometimes they couldn't even release skills and move.

And his side was getting braver as they fought!

And that broker had already escaped at some point.

And there were countless eyes around staring at Xiang Guangtai, and at the same time, many greedy and curious gazes were fixed on the Pokémon Xiang Guangtai carried.

There is no doubt that rare and powerful Pokémon have become the target of some people, but they also know that they cannot use "illegal" means to get them, so that greedy heart can only turn into regret.

Plus now that so many trainers have been defeated, this made them shake their heads even more.

"A psychic, truly amazing."

"Guys like this are at least Area 5 or above in the Black Tower. It's normal for these people to not be able to beat them."

The people watching the battle whispered, envying Xiang Guangtai's powerful strength. Not only is he a psychic himself, but he also has powerful Pokémon!

Thus, no one blocked Xiang Guangtai's actions anymore, and even some gentlemen in the mall took off their hats and made a "please" gesture.

"Don't worry, you showed your own strength."

An old gentleman chuckled: "I am the owner here. However, the strong can set rules here precisely because of the existence of you tough guys, so the sense of existence of people like us is so weak."

"Since the Black Tower stood up, more and more strong people have poured into this city... Our desires are endless, and the original intention of building this city is exactly this!"

"Although that tower has nothing to do with us..."

"Great! As long as there are you guys, you will definitely be able to uncover the secrets of the Black Tower! Continue to battle with the lively guys!"

Aegislash split those prison cages, and the Pokémon felt Xiang Guangtai's heart and emotions. Under Aegislash's soothing, they gathered together and were taken out just like that, and those hunters who had turned over a new leaf thanked Xiang Guangtai. This scene was quite strange.

It's just that some people are unwilling to give up.

"Damn! Damn it! What Black City owner, just a gentleman without power!"

"Hey! Kid, you actually dared to cut off my fortune, you absolutely can't leave easily!"

That broker ran back. Seeing Xiang Guangtai walk out of the mall unscathed, he was startled, but thinking that he had brought a whole carload of people, he suddenly became full of confidence!

I also brought many masters here, psychics... So what if you are a psychic!

Extrasensory is no match for technology! We brought electric shockers!

And we also have people who can use psychic power here!

"Hey, breaking the rules is not allowed."

"The reason why the organization was established is because it has rules."

Suddenly a dull voice came, and a middle-aged man wearing a black coat and a black hat appeared not far away.

This is the standard dress of a veteran trainer.

It's just that unlike other veteran trainers, this man radiated a strong sense of oppression as soon as he entered!

And then, he looked at Xiang Guangtai, his mouth raised, and he praised:

"Hmph, those guys inside were all defeated by you... You really have the qualifications to challenge the Black Tower."

The trainer wearing a black hat's voice started to become thick:

"But I'm also quite disappointed. Black City is only to this extent. It was suppressed by a young man, and it was suppressed quite easily."

"What! Who are you?"

The broker and the trainers he brought were nervous and angry!

Although they felt that the black-clothed man in front of them radiated a momentum and pressure completely different from others, the psychic brought by the broker suddenly started to tremble:

"No, the power on this person is such a powerful energy!"

"He has entered the Black Tower! He has strange energy from the tower on him, and his own energy is also very strong! Combat power... incalculable, at least a master of Area 6 or above!"

"Area 6?!"

The trainers were shocked, but the middle-aged man chuckled in a low voice:

"By combining many forces, powerful power can be produced. This is the organization, this is the strength of the organization, and Black City is the same!"

"Clearly very weak alone, but bullying others by relying on numbers. One person can't do anything, and can't exert power without forming a group..."

The broker was furious: "What did you say!"

The black-clothed trainer didn't speak, just took out a Poké Ball. Accompanied by the Poké Ball opening, a powerful monster-type Pokémon appeared in the battle field of the big mall!

Rock-like body, orange protective gear, fierce eyes. When it landed, the ground of the entire Black City seemed to be shaking!

The black-clothed man pressed his hat:

"I like powerful power, because it has no distinction between good and evil!"

"The strong will eventually win, regardless of justice or evil. This is the truth of this world. In this city, the strong can set rules at will! And I am one of the trainers who set the rules!"

Then the middle-aged man raised his head, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became serious, speaking to Xiang Guangtai:

"But let's say it first! No matter how strong a person is, it is possible to be defeated! If you don't admit failure, you can't move forward! Only those who understand this point are the true strong! Remember this point!"

"These guys wandering here, those guys defeated by you!"

"Their potential hasn't been fully stimulated, and their Pokémon are the same, so they will fail and get lost in desire!"

"These guys are all weak! No need to feel worried and afraid. When the strong face the weak, it is they who should be afraid!"

When the familiar lines were spoken, the rigid face under the black-clothed trainer's hat gradually became clear and familiar.

Familiar memories were floating up, and became extremely real at this moment.

And the person in front of him took off his black hat.

A face full of evil and rigidity appeared, and a faint powerful master aura radiated from his body...!

That face is...!

The identity of this black-clothed trainer in front of him was already self-evident.

Trainer type, Team Rocket Boss!

The battle was on the verge of breaking out!

Giovanni snorted coldly:

"Rhyperior! Use 'Earthquake'!"

"Clean up all the small fry!"

The violent earthquake seemed to make the entire street shake!

On the timeline of HeartGold/SoulSilver, Giovanni was beaten up by the protagonists of Kanto and Johto continuously, his Tao heart was broken, and he embarked on a path of cultivation alone. There was no news of him during the entire Sinnoh period, until he appeared in the Pokémon World Tournament in Black 2/White 2 in Unova!

A true expert of the Ground type, the most powerful villain in the Kanto region!

No one knows what Giovanni experienced during these few years, and where he cultivated. He disappeared in Kanto and Johto, and there was no news of him in Sinnoh and Hoenn, and there was no trace of him in the Ranger region.

So the only region he could reach seemed to be one.

Unova's Black City, this place is perfectly suitable for someone like Giovanni to train, and it is enough for him to find the feeling he once had!

The battle ended in an instant.

Not only attacking Pokémon, but even trainers would be affected. Earthquake is such a move!

Giovanni acted cleanly and neatly, and the earthquake wave almost made the entire street shake!

And the rich merchants and gentlemen watching the battle nearby were terrified, but the eyes looking at that Rhyperior were more of burning heat!

What a powerful Pokémon! The more powerful the Pokémon, the more it can attract their interest. Some gentlemen even started thinking about whether they could let Giovanni transfer Rhyperior to them!

And such thoughts seemed unable to hide from the Team Rocket Boss below.

Giovanni narrowed his eyes, feeling those burning gazes, and he snorted coldly, revealing a long-lost evil smile.

In the past, he was the one robbing Pokémon, using them as tools to make big money, but he also cherished the Pokémon in his hands—because he couldn't let important tools be lost or damaged!

The defeated trainers in front of him fell in a large area, and that broker was directly picked up by Rhyperior, thrown into the sky, and then smashed with an "Arm Hammer"!

The broker flew out directly, falling on the street, life or death unknown.

"Those who don't follow the rules are not qualified to live here. This is the battlefield of the strong!"

Giovanni looked coldly at the trainers who were terrified around him, and the psychic was even more terrified:

"Who exactly are you, a master of which area? I am already a trainer of Area 5. Your power, just one area, I don't believe there is such a big gap!"

"Area 5?"

Giovanni looked at the psychic indifferently, looking down at him from above: "I am a Gym Leader trainer of Area 8! That kind of low-level area doesn't even have the qualifications to make a move in front of me!"

Watching the psychic hammering the ground unwillingly, Giovanni no longer looked at the defeated people around him, but at this time Xiang Guangtai's actions attracted his attention.

This excellent young man is using psychic power to finish them off?

"I've been watching since just now, what are you doing?"

Xiang Guangtai answered simply: "Just using psychic power... to leave some impressions on them."

"... Oh, are you lying to me? It seems you also think I'm dangerous? Don't want to tell the truth, huh."

Giovanni chuckled. His question didn't get an answer, but Giovanni wasn't angry because of this.

"Deception is an important means of survival, but I have also seen some incompetent psychics. Let me guess, your ability is most likely related to soul power. Although it is a rare power, it is not that I haven't encountered it."

"I have already observed it from the previous battle... Heh heh, very interesting power. How about it, do you want to try using it on me?"

Giovanni issued a strange invitation, and Xiang Guangtai naturally didn't agree.

The person in front of me is really Giovanni!

That powerful aura and energy surged on his body. Xiang Guangtai could observe the surge of special power on Giovanni through psychic power. That sense of oppression was not fake. Just like powerful trainers can stimulate the power of Pokémon and use fighting spirit and determination to improve their abilities, Giovanni has the same ability!

If it's not a natural talent, then it can only be obtained through years of fighting. Although Giovanni treats Pokémon as tools, he is very good to his own Pokémon.

If it's the Giovanni of the anime, he is not worth worrying about.

But if it's the Giovanni of the special manga or the game, that's a bit dangerous!

Especially since the other party has also undergone three years of re-training!

That is a genuine master-level trainer!

Master-level trainer... Although it is not a formal title, but... the strength is at least... Elite Four or above!

Xiang Guangtai's expression was a bit serious, and he pondered.

Although he mastered many illegal modes, facing wild Pokémon and master trainers are two concepts.

However, if it's about strength, he wouldn't lose!

It's worth considering a real-life PK!

But that would require restraining all his Pokémon first.

"Forget it, you seem very vigilant. It seems like it's not the time for an all-out battle."

Giovanni suddenly smiled.

"If it's a battle, let's leave it for later. I have a premonition that a strong and excellent person like you will definitely come to the Black Tower. Many people are attracted by that tower and arrive here, and I am the same."

"Take those Pokémon and leave here. Passing through Black City and heading east is White Forest."

Those Pokémon that were sold as commodities gathered together and surrounded Xiang Guangtai and Aegislash.

"Oh... incredible."

Giovanni stared at Aegislash. It was the first time he had seen such a special Pokémon that could soothe other Pokémon and even command them.

If Team Rocket were still as strong as before, he would definitely have set his sights on the Pokémon in front of him.

But now, he is still in cultivation. Ordinary Pokémon can no longer attract his interest. Only powerful Pokémon can attract him!

Of course!

Compared to this special Pokémon, what is actually more valuable is the trainer who makes this Pokémon willing to follow!

There is no doubt that the King of Pokémon is certainly interesting, but isn't the trainer that the King serves more worth recruiting?

If he wants to make Team Rocket active again, recruiting such a cadre is necessary.

The strong have their own beliefs and will not easily submit to others. So, wanting to gather such a group of strong people is very difficult.

How to correctly use everyone's power and guide their potential is Giovanni's cultivation topic now.

Therefore, before coming to the Black Tower, Giovanni had already been to White Forest. That forest has the breath of his hometown forest that makes Giovanni trance.

After seeing those Pokémon gather, Giovanni didn't stay too long. He looked forward to meeting Xiang Guangtai again, and it must be in an unexpected place.

"Hmph... excellent talent... I think highly of you. How high a peak can you reach?"

"If powerful power can be used by me, that's the best. If not, being an opponent is also good."

"Money is no longer important. I just want to battle with stronger trainers. The strong will attract each other! And you possess that talent!"

"Use it well, interesting young man... I'll wait for you at the top of Unova. We will definitely meet again."

Giovanni turned around and waved his hand, walking toward the tall tower, but blue and yellow light was vaguely reflected in his eyes.
