Chapter 593

He rubbed his damp hair, feeling very annoyed.

But seeing Ash's concerned gaze.

Gary could only suppress the annoyance in his heart.

He suspected Ash had done it on purpose, but he had no proof!

"Gary, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"That's good. Let's hurry, Darkrai's location has been confirmed."

As he spoke, Ash immediately turned to face the forest directly ahead.

He was afraid that if another second passed, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from laughing out loud.

It was just that Gary's current appearance was too funny.

Since when, he didn't know.

The originally bright moon was covered by a layer of dark clouds.

Because of this.

The forest, where the path could previously be seen, became pitch black.

Ash activated his Aura power.

And walked at the very front of the group, leading the way for everyone.

Dawn nervously grabbed onto Ash's clothes from behind.

Such small actions naturally could not escape Cynthia's eyes.

However, Cynthia didn't say much.

Saying too much would be counterproductive; after all, the relationship between her and Ash was too ambiguous.

She longed for it, yet she restrained herself.

This was the inner heart of a mature woman.

Longing for Ash to take the initiative, yet restraining her own heart.

All of this was known only to the person involved.

They walked further toward the forest where the black hole had been shot.

The faint sounds of battle became even more distinct.

Listening to the level of noise, the other party had many people.

This was normal; after all, whether it was Darkrai or Cresselia.

Neither was something an ordinary trainer could deal with, even if the opponent was Team Rocket!

These were Legendary Pokémon!

As they approached that area.

The darkness also gradually deepened.

Clearly.

Team Rocket had used some means to suppress all the light in this area.

Just that.

What was Team Rocket's purpose in doing this?

Ash didn't know, but it wasn't important.

All he had to do was destroy Team Rocket's conspiracy and complete Mewtwo's request to save Cresselia.

At this moment.

Ash, who had been moving forward, suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Ash?"

Cynthia walked to Ash's side and asked in confusion.

She wasn't sure why Ash had suddenly stopped either.

If not for this darkness covering them.

Cynthia should have been able to see the strangeness on Ash's face.

Through the detection of his Aura power.

Ash saw three acquaintances.

And they were none other than the Team Rocket trio.

However, the Team Rocket trio's current behavior was a bit strange.

They seemed to be dismantling some kind of equipment.

If Ash guessed correctly, this equipment should be the thing that plunged this area into darkness.

"It's nothing, let's hurry, Darkrai can't hold on much longer."

Ash shook his head and didn't mention the matter.

After all, Cynthia's personality was one that hated evil.

Although the Team Rocket trio often did good deeds, they were still Team Rocket.

So it was better not to disturb them.

And the viewers in the livestream also saw the Team Rocket trio's actions through Ash's Aura perspective.

【Lance: In this forest, there are two groups of Team Rocket, but one side is a mole. Does anyone know who the mole is?】

【Jessie: It definitely isn't me! I am a die-hard member of Team Rocket!】

【James: It definitely isn't me either! I am a die-hard fan of Boss Giovanni!】

The audience was amused to see these two comments.

If it's not you two, could it be me?

【Cassidy: You guys are truly incredible! Either you're acting as guides or you're directly acting as moles! Team Rocket really can't function without you two idiots!】

【Jessie: You bob-cut with glasses! We are loyal to Team Rocket! Boss Giovanni can see it!】

So this is your reason for causing destruction during Team Rocket's elite operation?

【Lance: No, no, no, you don't understand their good intentions at all; they are trying to save Team Rocket's reputation!】

【Cassidy: As expected, they are moles! Even the League people are making excuses for you!】

"Alright Cassidy, they are not undercover agents."

Giovanni, who was at the Viridian Gym, interrupted Cassidy's attempt to continue sending messages.

Cassidy immediately stood straight!

She was sweating profusely!

What kind of background did they have? This was already the umpteenth time they had sabotaged Team Rocket's operations!

And Boss Giovanni hadn't even pursued it!

Could it be that the mole is me?

Or is everyone a mole except for me?

Thinking about it is terrifying!

Cassidy fell into deep panic!

(Gin: You've heard of my story too?!)

In the screen—

Ash and the others didn't stop moving!

As they got closer!

The sounds of fighting became more distinct!

They could even hear Team Rocket's shouting!

"Hey, I advise you to give up resistance and come back with us Team Rocket obediently, otherwise don't blame us for being impolite!"

Cynthia made a gesture, signaling the group to stop.

Under Ash's puzzled gaze, Cynthia slowly explained her plan.

"If we rush in like this, we might be treated as enemies by both sides, so Ash and I will go handle Team Rocket. Tobias, Darkrai has an advantage in the dark, you need to ensure there are no fish that slip through the net, understand?"

"Understood, Ms. Cynthia (Champion)."

Although Ash was reckless, he still listened to Cynthia's words.
