Chapter 192 Everyone has a backup plan?
Just as a bad feeling flashed through Xiao Gang's mind, gasps of surprise rang out from the crowd:
"Look! Is that a Moltres?"
Everyone looked up and saw a beautiful Pokémon engulfed in flames fly straight out from the top of the cave and head into the distance.
"That's a firebird! How did it fly out?"
"Hey, look! There are a few more Pokémon following Moltres!"
Upon closer inspection, everyone noticed that behind Moltres, Charizard, Pidgeot, Braviary, and Tropius were four other Pokémon closely following.
Each of the four Flying-type Pokémon has a trainer standing on it.
Xiao Gang, with his sharp eyes, immediately recognized them as four investigators.
They chased the firebirds as they flew out of the cave!
Although he didn't see Kona or Lu An, Xiao Gang couldn't care less about that now; he stood up.
"Pfft!"
As Xiao Gang stood up, he suddenly felt his legs go weak and collapsed to the ground.
"Huh?"
Why can't I stand up?
"Huh? Why can't I stand up either?"
Not only did Xiao Gang show signs of weakness in his legs, but all the researchers who were resting were horrified to find that they had all collapsed to the ground, unable to get up!
"What's going on?!"
Xiao Gang noticed that Professor Allen, who was standing right next to him, was the only one in the room who was still standing still.
Instinctively, Xiao Gang reached out his hand to Allen:
"Professor, help me up."
However, when faced with Xiao Gang's request, Allen, who was usually gentle and kind, once again revealed a strange smile.
"Professor Allen?"
Allen reached up and touched his neck, pulling it upwards, causing Xiao Gang's squinty eyes to widen in surprise.
All of Allen's original male face had vanished, replaced by a female face with narrow eyes.
Professor Allen's face was being held in this woman's hands!
Professor Allen is a woman in disguise!
Xiao Gang then realized:
"Water! There's something wrong with the water!"
"Did you drug the water just now?!"
Sachi looked at Xiao Gang, who was struggling to even lift his upper body, and bowed slightly.
"Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Satchel, one of the three Beasts of Team Rocket. It's nice to meet you, Gym Leader of Dark Grey."
......
"Fortunately, I had a backup plan."
Inside the cave, Lu An's expression changed after Sakaki uttered these words:
"A backup plan?"
What backup plan did you have?
Sakaki had no intention of hiding anything and said directly:
"Professor Allen on your team has actually been switched by our Rockets' Sachs a long time ago."
"It was his own suggestion that you bring him into Baiyin Mountain, his purpose being to plant a spy in your team."
"Since you split the team into two, I estimate that Sachi has already made his move on the other team and succeeded."
......
Rockets!
Three Beast Warriors?
Was Professor Allen an imposter from the Rockets?
So, who was the real Professor Allen?
Were they killed by the Rockets? Or kidnapped?
Sachi glanced at the Moltres that flew away, and the Pokémon that followed it:
"One, two, three, four. It seems that the rumors that Lu Ante and other investigators are afraid of heights and dare not ride flying Pokémon are true."
"In that case, Lu An should already be fighting Zapdos and Articuno in the cave, right?"
Zapdos?
Articuno?
Did the Rockets manage to capture these two legendary birds?
Does this mean Moltres has also fallen into Team Rocket's hands?
Was this trip to Silver Mountain a conspiracy by the Rockets?
The barrage of information left Xiaogang speechless.
Of course, it could also be because the drug administered by Sachi was too potent.
Sachi glanced at Xiao Gang, who was crawling on his knees, and sneered:
"Actually, Team Rocket originally placed some explosives on the walls of Moltres' cave. They weren't very powerful, just enough to bury you all in the cave."
"But for some reason, Lu An went crazy and refused to let everyone in, no matter how much we pleaded."
"I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure and drug you all."
"After dealing with you, I'm going to go into the cave to take care of Lu An and Kona. Hmm, let me think, what's a good excuse?"
"Ah, how about saying that the Pokémon outside went berserk for some reason and attacked everyone, and Gym Leader Brock sacrificed himself to save me?"
Sachi looked at Xiao Gang with a smile.
Her eyes were almost invisible from laughing, but compared to Xiao Gang's squinty eyes, even with her eyes closed, she gave off a chilling feeling.
"After all, Master Xiaogang just said that he was willing to sacrifice himself for me."
Sachi produced a gleaming dagger and, without a word, stabbed it down at Xiao Gang, who was lying on the ground!
......
However, after Sakaki revealed the matter of Sachi, Lu An, whose expression had changed drastically, gradually regained his composure.
Lu An let out a long sigh of relief:
"What? So it was Sachi hiding in the group."
Seeing that Lu An showed no sign of panic, Sakaki frowned:
"Aren't you nervous at all?"
"You know, Sachi is one of the three beast warriors I carefully selected. In terms of combat potential, she may not be as good as Lt. Surge or Ajax."
"But her efficiency is even higher than that of the two of them."
"Even if you put a Xiao Gang outside, he can't defend against Sachi if he's caught off guard."
Upon hearing this, Lu An exclaimed in surprise:
"Who said that Sachi was deliberately targeting someone who wasn't?"
Sakaki frowned even more deeply.
"Did you see through Sachi's disguise?"
"Impossible. If you really knew Sachi, you would have exposed her long ago."
"With your strength, Sachi has no chance of escaping."
Lu An nodded and said leisurely:
"Yes, I didn't see through Allen's disguise as Sachi, but after dealing with you old schemers for so long, I can't keep letting you lead me by the nose, can I?"
"Sometimes I do keep a backup plan."
Sakaki pondered:
"A backup plan? What backup plan could you possibly have? Reinforcements?"
“I can hear almost nothing about the alliance, and I know very well that you have no reinforcements.”
"Xiao Gang and those researchers have no chance of winning against Sachi."
"All of your investigators have been transferred away by Moltres, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"
At this point, Sakaki paused subconsciously:
"No, we're still missing one person."
Lu An's lips slowly curved upwards:
"Sakaki, have you finally remembered?"
Sakaki looked at Lu An, and his usually calm face finally broke.
"Where did Kona go after we argued at the cave entrance and she went into the Moltres Cave first?"
