Chapter 191: Marmion Took His Students to Fight Team Plasma

In the city of Nimbasa, known as the "Shining City of Electric Light."

Nimbasa City is a very bustling metropolis; worth noting is that, according to incomplete statistics, Nimbasa's population ranks third in the entire world, second only to Lumiose City in Kalos and Hammerlocke City in Galar.

This reveals just how popular Nimbasa City truly is.

Moreover, unlike the equally large metropolis of Castelia City, which is filled with a highly tense work atmosphere, Nimbasa City is renowned as an entertainment city, with the entire city's ambiance being very leisurely.

And Marmion and the others have now arrived in Nimbasa City, or rather, in the suburbs of Nimbasa City.

"Mr. Marmion, is Team Plasma really here?"

Pansy asked Mr. Marmion, feeling somewhat nervous yet also expectant.

"That's right. According to intelligence, this is indeed a base of Team Plasma, and this base is quite large in scale."

Mr. Marmion nodded, then glanced at Pansy and the others.

This time, he had specifically brought these students from the Blueberry Academy to destroy this Team Plasma base.

Worth mentioning is that, thanks to Pansy's connections, most of the high-ranking students at Blueberry Academy have joined his company and signed contracts with him.

Pansy, who is serious and cute in personality, is indeed very popular at Blueberry Academy; even the current four Elite Four members and the Champion of the Blueberry League have all joined.

Mr. Marmion was naturally very pleased with this, after all, these students are all promising young men and women.

"In that case, there's no need to wait, Mr. Marmion; let's attack directly."

The speaker was a youth with white hair, a handsome face, and wearing very loose and grand attire.

He was Du Ruo, currently the Champion of the Blueberry League, specializing in Dragon-type moves.

If, among the students of Blueberry Academy, Katsura was the one Mr. Marmion valued most, then the second was this Du Ruo.

Because currently, Du Ruo's strength already possesses Elite Four-level combat power; without a doubt, Du Ruo has the talent to challenge Champion-level standards, it's just unknown whether he can break through this limitation.

After all, many Elite Four-level trainers are trapped at the Elite Four level their entire lives, unable to break through.

"No way!" And quite obviously, Du Ruo's proposal met with Pansy's resistance; she crossed her arms in front of her, striking her signature pose.

"I think that's not good, Du Ruo; that's really too reckless, isn't it?"

Pansy still treated this operation very seriously, after all, this time they were here to eradicate an evil organization!

Du Ruo scratched his head, somewhat troubled; although he specializes in Dragon-type moves, his personality is actually not very domineering.

"Won't you listen to Mr. Marmion's plan? Mr. Marmion is our leader, isn't he?" Akamatsu, with short red hair, asked innocently.

He is also one of the four Elite Four members of the Blueberry League, specializing in Fire-type moves.

"Mr. Marmion, what do you think we should do?" Pansy asked Mr. Marmion.

"Let's attack directly; don't give the opponent a chance to react. This time is mainly to let you experience the atmosphere of your first mission."

Mr. Marmion said with a smile.

"Go ahead and operate freely; I will watch over you from behind."

Mr. Marmion felt that this operation would actually pose no danger, after all, although Du Ruo and the others were from the academy, the League Society originally focused on cultivating battle capabilities.

Du Ruo and the others' rankings were all earned through fighting; their combat literacy was unquestionable.

"See, I told you so." Du Ruo shrugged, looking toward the warehouse ahead, a slow smile curling his lips.

The evil organization Team Plasma, how interesting!

"But you must be careful; the members of evil organizations are different from your usual formal battles; always stay alert, observe your surroundings, and beware of the opponent using underhanded tactics to ambush you."

Mr. Marmion emphasized this warning.

"Additionally, if you encounter opponents at the executive level, do not show off; contact your companions to fight together, understand? This is not a competition, but a mission! Prioritize ensuring your own safety first, then completing the mission."

"Yes!"

Pansy and the others responded solemnly.

"Alright, you go ahead; I will provide support from the rear."

Mr. Marmion nodded, signaling that Du Ruo and the others could depart.

Then, these students of Blueberry Academy, a grand procession of over thirty people, advanced toward the warehouse.

However, as soon as they reached the warehouse entrance, the group was stumped.

"Um, should we knock on the door?" Katsura, walking behind Du Ruo, said softly.

That's right, Katsura came along too, but Danzhi did not; this was his first time being separated from his older sister.

He had contacted Mr. Marmion, and then Mr. Marmion arranged him into this operation, letting him first experience the atmosphere of not having his sister by his side.

"Katsura, we are here to strike down evil elements; what's there to be polite about with them?"

Du Ruo couldn't help but roll his eyes; his relationship with Katsura was actually quite good.

"Duraludon!"

Du Ruo grinned, directly opening the Poké Ball in his hand.

A Pokémon entirely made of duralumin fell heavily before Du Ruo; it was Duraludon, evolved from Duraludon.

It was also Du Ruo's ace Pokémon.

"Duraludon, Flash Cannon!"

"Wait! Du Ruo!" Pansy and the others were quite shocked.

But quite obviously, Duraludon obeyed Du Ruo.

Hearing Du Ruo's command, Duraludon condensed a metallic-glossed energy sphere before itself, then fired it heavily at the iron gate ahead.

Boom!

Accompanied by a violent explosion, the gate was directly blasted open by Flash Cannon, and the smoke gradually dispersed.

"Du Ruo, you are too impulsive like this." Neri frowned.

"Really, you guys are so conservative; Mr. Marmion also said we could act freely."

Du Ruo shrugged; did they really have to knock on the door?

"We cannot give the opponent a chance to escape; in that case, breaking the door down by force is the best method. Look, they are coming out right now!"

Du Ruo pointed into the warehouse, where several people wearing Plasma Team uniforms were currently running out.

"Damn! Our gate!"

"Who are you people?!"

"Making trouble in our Plasma Team's territory! Do you not want your lives?"

"Hand over all your Pokémon! Or we will not be polite!"

Seeing a group of young boys and girls like Zi Yu, these Plasma Team members clearly held a condescending attitude.

And these Plasma Team members also released Pokémon such as Zubat, Seviper, and Weezing; the number was quite large.

However, in terms of numbers, the Blueberry Academy side was clearly not at a disadvantage.

"Oh my, oh my~"

Hearing these words, Du Ruo could not help but take out another Poké Ball, and a strong Dragonite appeared before him.

"Although I have always heard of the Plasma Team's 'great name', this is my first time seeing them. So there really are people who steal others' Pokémon?"

"Hmph! Such evil doers!"

Zi Yu solemnly opened her Poké Ball, and Whimsicott and Drilbur appeared before her.

"Does this count as doing a good deed? I quite like this kind of work." Chi Song similarly took out his ace, Emboar.

"Speaking of which, Merit Points are tallied according to our battle records, right? Zi Yu, can you not fight me for the kill?"

Du Ruo suddenly discovered a blind spot, paused for a moment, and then discussed it with Zi Yu and the others.

"I quite want to exchange for a Bagon, but it requires a lot of Merit Points..."

"No way! Du Ruo! You are too selfish; I also want a Ralts!" Zi Yu refused without hesitation.

"Moreover, we are still on a mission; you are being too negligent like this!"

"Alright, alright." Du Ruo raised his hands in feigned surrender: "But opponents like this, at our school, probably wouldn't even make the top fifty, right?"

Du Ruo glanced at these Plasma Team Pokémon a few times and could not help but smack his lips.

And this condescending attitude clearly made these Plasma Team members extremely displeased.

"Damn it! You brats!"

"Too arrogant! We are the Plasma Team!"

"Today, Uncle will definitely beat you arrogant little brats to tears!"

And as the Plasma Team members finished their harsh words, both sides immediately began a fierce battle, and the scene was once extremely chaotic.

"Mame, did you do this on purpose?"

Looking at the battle situation inside the warehouse, which was almost one-sided, there was no doubt that these ordinary Plasma Team members were completely no match for Du Ruo and the others.

But it was said from the beginning that this is a medium-to-large scale base!

These Plasma Team members right now are just the gatekeepers; the true Plasma Team elite members are still inside.

And And Most Important, there is a commander of the Plasma Team in this base.

"Consider it a bonus; the main target is that person."

Mame did not deny it; instead, he took a sip of juice, his expression very leisurely.

"Mame, Mame~ I want to drink too."

Jirachi sat on Mame's shoulder, pulling Mame's hair and acting spoiled toward Mame.

"Here~ This bayberry juice is actually quite good." Mame took out a bottle from his spatial backpack.

He actually did not like drinking alcohol very much; rather, he had a special fondness for various fruit juices.

"So delicious~" Jirachi very skillfully opened the bottle cap herself, took a sip, and her two big eyes squinted into crescent moons.

Seeing the Wish Star look so cute like this, Mame could not help but smile; this star head was truly adorable.

And at this moment, inside the Plasma Team base.

"Tsk~ The strength of the members here is much higher."

Du Ruo slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at the opposing Seviper and Krookodile; he could clearly feel that after entering this base, there was a gap in level between the Plasma Team members inside and those in the warehouse.

However, for himself, there was not much difference, but for the other students, it was different.

And at this moment, inside Nimbasa City.

"Gym Leader Burgh!"

A police officer contacted the tall beauty who was shopping.

"What is it, Officer Jenny?" Burgh replied in confusion.

"It is like this; there is a large warehouse in the western suburbs. Someone reported that a battle is happening there, and they also saw Plasma Team members escaping from the warehouse. Could you please go there?"

"The Plasma Team, huh? I understand; I will rush over now."

Burgh slowly narrowed her beautiful eyes, and then decisively spoke her reply.

"Thank you for your trouble; we have also dispatched police officers over there, and they will rendezvous with you."

Officer Jenny spoke very quickly.

"This sparkling city does not need an organization as dark as the Plasma Team to set it off; I will electrocute them all into numbness."

Burgh spoke lightly, put on her golden-yellow jacket, and strode her long legs toward the outside of the shop.

Nimbasa City is her city! And under this shining, glorious city, there is no need for cult organizations like the Plasma Team!

Inside the Plasma Team base.

"What is going on outside?"

A blond youth wearing a trench coat like a researcher's white lab coat frowned, walked out of the laboratory, and his tone was not very pleasant.

He was conducting an experiment, but the noise outside made him unable to calm his mind.

The research room's external soundproofing was quite good, but even so it still couldn't completely block out the noise from outside — one could tell just how rowdy things had gotten out there.

"My apologies, Lord Achroma, a group of people have stormed the base."

A Plasma Team underling reported apologetically.

"What?" Achroma's handsome face creased with a deep frown.

This base had been set up specifically for his research, and was extremely well hidden — how could anyone have found it?

"Is it the Unova League?"

"No, it doesn't seem so. From what they were saying, it sounds like they're temporary workers from some 'Alpaca Culture & Entertainment Co., Ltd. …'"

"???"

Three great big question marks floated up on Achroma's refined, handsome face. What the heck was that?

"Has this been reported to Ghetsis?"

But Achroma was Achroma — he quickly stopped dwelling on that company name, which was well worth a complaint, and asked the subordinate.

"It's already been reported to Sage Ghetsis. Sage Ghetsis said he's already sent people to come escort you, and told you to prepare in advance."

"That's good then."

Achroma's expression returned to calm. He had no desire to get involved in Plasma Team's squabbles with other factions.

He was just a scientist, and all he wanted to be was a scientist. Plasma Team and Ghetsis had been willing to take him in and give him room to do his work, so he had stayed with Plasma Team — that was all there was to it.

Though in truth, Achroma's own strength as a Trainer was actually extremely formidable, Achroma had always styled himself a scientist, and he wasn't all that fond of fighting people either.

Of course, unless there was truly no other choice, or unless he found the other party interesting, or unless he simply wanted to run an experiment.

"Looks like you're the head honcho of this base, right?"

Du Ruo's lazy voice reached Achroma's ears. Achroma turned around and sized up the boy on the other side, who didn't look very old.

"I'm just a researcher. If you want to fight me, that wouldn't be appropriate, would it?" Achroma replied calmly.

"No, no, no — your position looks pretty high up, you must be an executive, right? If I grab you, the merit should be quite something. For the sake of my Dragonite, I'll have to trouble Mr. Researcher for a bit."

"???"

Achroma was once again met with question marks. Wait — why couldn't he understand a word the other person was saying?

What merit? What Dragonite?

And come to think of it, these people were temporary workers from some company? What company's temporary-worker Trainers were this wild? They'd just barged straight into a Plasma Team base?
