The moment he saw Mewtwo, Koga's mind went into overdrive.
Poison-type Pokémon are twice as restrained by Psychic-types, and opponent here is none other than Mewtwo, hailed internally by Team Rocket as the strongest Psychic-type Pokémon.
Fighting is absolutely not an option.
Judging from Mewtwo's previous mission style, once a fight breaks out, it won't stop until it kills a few.
So admitting cowardice now should still be in time, right?
Koga thought carefully and confirmed that he had never said he was part of Team Rocket.
ヾ(●´∀｀●)
Koga let out a long breath and squeezed out a simple and honest smile on his face:
"Hello, I might not have expressed myself clearly just now."
"Today, after hearing that you captured three Team Rocket executives, I was full of admiration, so I wanted to see if you're available for a challenge."
"To save you a bit of walking, I specially brought the Fuchsia Badge today."
"Oh, then let's have a battle."
Koga nodded frantically, "Yes yes yes!"
"How about a formal match? I'll go rent a battle field."
"Formal matches are boring. Your Kanto's little Blue said, if we're fighting, let's have a wild battle."
Koga: "???"
'Who's little Blue? I'm gonna poison him to death!'
Just as that thought landed, Koga saw a huge spoon appear in Mewtwo's hand in front of him.
Swing~
Without using any moves, just two strikes of the spoon empowered with telekinesis, Koga's two Pokémon collapsed weakly to the ground.
Koga took half a step back, left behind a Fuchsia Badge, and quietly edged toward the window, "No wonder you're Kanto's rising star trainer, truly amazing!"
"Are you trying to run?"
"No!"
"Then what are you doing by the window?"
"I wanted to see the scenery of Cerulean City, and also... goodbye!"
Koga simultaneously threw out two Poké Balls with his right hand, recalled Arbok and the others into their balls, turned around, and leapt out of the window with a smile.
So what if it's Mewtwo?
He's Ninja Koga, a man destined to escape from any pursuer alive.
Suddenly, Koga felt a light sensation from above his head.
Before he could react, he felt himself being hugged by something...
Looking at the Koga dragged back by Nihilego, Axel grinned.
"You really are an honest ninja. You said goodbye, and here you are again."
Koga: "..."
Can someone tell him what kind of monster Pokémon are around Axel?
"No need to be like this, little brother. After all, I'm a Kanto Gym Leader."
"Even though I lost in this sparring session, you can't just treat me like a villain, right?"
Axel smilingly walked up beside Koga, "If your Team Rocket isn't the villains, then would that make me the villain?"
"Huh?", Koga was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and rejected flatly, "I don't know what you're talking about."
He's a Gym Leader officially recognized by the Kanto League. As long as he doesn't admit he's part of Team Rocket, no one can treat him as a villain.
"No worries. You'll know soon enough...", Before Koga could understand what Axel meant, the all-white Mewtwo appeared in front of him.
"Team Rocket member... I'll save you..."
Immediately after, Koga lost consciousness, and the last thought in his mind was:
'What kind of good guy "saves" people like this?'

[The Next Morning]
Axel hadn't woken up yet when he heard a flurry of knocking on the door.
"What is it?"
Hearing Misty's voice, Axel recalled Gardevoir into her Poké Ball and let her continue sleeping.
He meditated once, then got up and opened the door.
Seeing that Axel was okay, Misty patted her chest hard and let out a breath of relief.
Axel had just saved her yesterday. If something had happened at home, she'd live in guilt for the rest of her life.
"Axel, you didn't run into any danger last night, did you?"
"This morning, as soon as I woke up, I saw that the security outside had been breached, and even your window was broken, so I rushed over to check."
"No danger," Axel shook his head.
"My Pokémon are used to standing guard while I sleep. They probably drove the intruder away."
"That's good~"
"I got word this morning that a lot of Team Rocket members appeared in Cerulean City yesterday. Even those executives you captured were snatched away by a mysterious person."
"You and Gardevoir must've gone through a big battle last night. Today, you have to give them a good reward."
"How about coming with me to Cerulean Gym to relax for a day?"
Axel nodded and agreed right away.
He came for Cerulean Gym anyway, and last night really was a big battle.
Especially Gardevoir, she gave so much.
She absolutely deserves to relax.
Misty's family villa was very close to Cerulean Gym. After walking a few minutes, they arrived at a grand venue.
This gym had a huge area, not inferior to the Pokémon Centers across Aurient.
A large number of young men and women queued at the entrance holding bags with swimsuits and trunks. The rapid rides above periodically splashed down huge streams of water, landing on the crowd and prompting bursts of screams.
"What do you think? Cerulean Gym's not bad, right!", Misty crossed her arms, squeezing out a deep cleavage, and proudly tilted her head at Axel.
It was clear she felt a strong sense of belonging to Cerulean Gym.
"It's really nice," Axel nodded.
"Once I finish my training and take on the role of Cerulean Gym Leader, Cerulean Gym will definitely become famous across Kanto and the best gym in this region," After boasting a little about her grand ambition, Misty led Axel into the gym through the side entrance.
Once inside, the gym opened into a completely different world.
Almost the entire first floor was a giant swimming pool, with even an artificial beach built in.
Perhaps because of the travel culture that nurtured an open mindset, a large number of beautiful women lay boldly on the beach, showing off their figures with no concern for the feelings of male peers.
Axel had barely entered when several groups of girls came over asking for help, hoping Axel could rub sunscreen on them.
Without exception, these beauties all wore expensive bikinis and accessories.
Even Misty was stunned watching from the side.
They'd just passed dozens of beautiful girls, those pure little ladies, while flustered upon seeing Axel, still barely managed to stay calm.
At most they'd sneak a photo or subtly adjust their shorts.
But the wealthy women were different. Regardless of age, one even had a little girl run up and ask Axel for a hug.
Can someone tell her what's going on here?
Why do the richer women seem to like Axel more?
If her three sisters who hold the financial power saw Axel, would they even be able to walk?
"Let's go, fast!"
Axel hurriedly set down the seven- or eight-year-old loli and pulled Misty's hand, running toward the private bath area.
'Cerulean Gym truly lives up to its name as a tourist destination, way too many rich ladies playing here.'
And with the Eating Soft Rice With a Hard Bite tag active...
'Can't take it, absolutely can't take it!'
