Pokémon: Rebron as Red, The Strongest Champion

"Return, Charmander!"

Ash quickly recalled the fainted Charmander and looked solemnly at the Gloom before him.

(Damn it, Charmander was actually knocked out by the stench…)

Ash had underestimated Gloom's odor, never expecting his best fighter to be defeated so easily.

"In that case, Pidgeotto, I choose you!"

Ash threw his Poké Ball, intending to use Hurricane's power to disperse the foul odor.

"Pidgeotto? Not a bad tactic," Erika nodded.

Pidgeotto's wings flapped, dispersing the odor, and its Flying-type gave it a double advantage over Gloom.

Just as Ash and Erika prepared to continue, a sudden explosion echoed from afar. A staff member rushed over, "Gym Leader, someone stole the perfume ingredients!"

"Only those three Team Rocket goons would dare cause trouble here!" Red asserted. Ash and the others nodded in agreement, surprised to see the Team Rocket Trio's return after being ignored for so long.

The small spark from the explosion accidentally fell on a flower, quickly igniting a significant fire within the Celadon Gym!

"I'm sorry, Ash, the Gym Challenge must be suspended!" Erika hurriedly evacuated the surrounding Grass-type Pokémon with the staff.

"Come out, Milotic, use Hydro Pump!"

Red immediately sent out Milotic. The powerful water column instantly covered the flames. Ash and Misty also quickly sent out their Water-type Pokémon to help extinguish the Gym fire.

"Good thing we discovered it in time, otherwise the entire Gym would have been engulfed by flames!" Red said cautiously.

Red, forewarned, quickly extinguished the large fire with his Pokémon, preventing further damage.

"Oh no, where's Eevee?!" Erika panicked. Eevee, once in Erika's arms, was now mysteriously missing!

"With the strength of those three unlucky goons, it's absolutely impossible for them to defeat Eevee. There must be interference from another force!" Red judged, throwing two Poké Balls and sending out the Millennium Gengar and Abra. "I'm counting on you two!"

Abra used Teleport, while the Millennium Gengar melted into the shadows, both searching for the missing Eevee.

"What a great feeling!" the Team Rocket Trio cheered.

Meanwhile, in the Celadon Gym's waste storage room, Dan was currently ordering Crobat to attack Eevee, or to be precise, Eevee in its Jolteon form!

To lure Eevee out, Dan had specifically borrowed a potion from Dr. Namba, a potion designed to create addiction. This potion would induce hallucinations, making Eevee unknowingly walk towards the scent!

"As expected of an experiment created by Dr. Namba, it's quite troublesome!" Dan mocked, easily dodging the electric currents released by Jolteon, then commanded Crobat to use Cross Poison.

Crobat's front wings crossed, releasing poison gas, precisely hitting Jolteon's vital point!

"Although you can change forms, your experiment is not yet complete…" Dan leisurely flipped through the "Experiment No. 2" data in his hand, which detailed Jolteon's various weaknesses and flaws. The red text at the top clearly stated that changing forms would be accompanied by bone-chilling pain!

It was precisely because of this record that Dan and Crobat could easily torment Jolteon.

"Trying to escape? Crobat, use Mean Look!" Dan ordered.

Crobat's eyes released a captivating gaze, staring motionlessly at Jolteon. Jolteon, under the effect of Mean Look, couldn't take a step to escape!

"It's over, Crobat, use Cross Poison!" Dan said coldly, intending to leave Jolteon half-crippled, which would make it easier to transport. The last time Eevee escaped was because it still had ample stamina. This time, Dan was determined to eliminate all unfavorable factors!

"Your plan isn't that easy~"

A teasing voice inexplicably echoed around. The Millennium Gengar emerged from the shadows, and a Dark Pulse interrupted Crobat's attack.

"Gengar? And a Shiny one. I don't recall the Celadon Gym having such a Pokémon…" Dan cautiously donned high-tech glasses that could block Hypnosis to prevent the Millennium Gengar from suddenly using Hypnosis.

"You're truly a cautious human. It seems a battle is unavoidable for a while!" the Millennium Gengar said leisurely. (Good thing I told that arrogant brat to inform the boss.)

"Don't think I don't know you're informing that brat!" Dan crushed the cheap glasses in his hand, synchronizing Killing Intent with Crobat. "With your strength, you're not someone an ordinary guy can control. In the Celadon Gym, it can only be that kid!"

(What? Villains have no IQ? Why isn't this guy falling for it?)

The Millennium Gengar scratched its head, surprised as Dan unleashed a big move with Crobat.

"Wing Attack!" Dan ordered.

Crobat's wings glowed as it engaged the Millennium Gengar. The Gengar countered with Shadow Punch.

"I don't want multiple failed cases recorded in my files!"

Dan coldly eyed Jolteon, stabbing it with a dagger and kicking it unconscious!

"What a vile guy!" the Millennium Gengar said angrily, feeling sympathy for Jolteon's plight. It had tried so hard to escape Team Rocket's pursuit, yet it still ended up in such a situation.

The Millennium Gengar used Hypnosis to disrupt Crobat's judgment. Crobat, synchronized with Dan's Killing Intent, couldn't be easily hypnotized. The Millennium Gengar could only take this opportunity to submerge back into the shadows, planning to find another chance to strike.

"Aren't you companions? Are you just going to watch your companion be humiliated under my feet?" After saying that, Dan harshly rubbed his shoe heel on Jolteon's face. This scene completely ignited the rage in the Millennium Gengar's heart!

Emerging again, the Millennium Gengar used Psychic to control Dan and Crobat.

"How? You broke free!" the Millennium Gengar exclaimed.

A dark aura appeared on Dan and Crobat, breaking free from the Millennium Gengar's control!
