Elite Four Appears!

Olivine City had lost all its guards, undoubtedly casting a shadow over everyone present.

Many people even broke down in tears and began hurling curses wildly, but after the hysteria came a long silence.

At that moment, Bassho stepped forward.

As a famous figure from the previous era, even if those present did not know of Bassho's former glory, they had at least heard of it.

"My son, Tieyi, the current Gym Leader of Olivine Gym... is dead!" Bassho immediately used his son's death to deter everyone.

"Though his strength was average and he was usually somewhat afraid of trouble, my son Tieyi still chose to stand up against Team Rocket at the crucial moment!"

"Because he bought us so much time, Olivine Gym did not end up like the Police Station..." Bassho did not finish, but everyone knew what he meant.

"But I have lost all hope, because none of us knows when Team Rocket will launch another sneak attack..."

"Then we should leave Olivine City now!" A voice rang out from the crowd, interrupting Bassho.

Bassho looked around the crowd. He did not deliberately search for the speaker and instead continued in a deep voice, "I will not stop anyone who wants to leave, but I only wish to remind you of three things: First, has Team Rocket set an ambush outside Olivine City? Is it truly safe to leave now?

"Second, the entire Johto Region is now engulfed in war. As far as I know, not a single city has escaped attack.

"Third, many people here have had their Pokémon stolen. Are you all so cowardly that you do not even dare rescue your own partners?!"

The questioning of the soul deterred everyone. Even those who were unconvinced did not dare raise any doubts at that moment
