The evil Dragonite opened its mouth and attacked again, only for Sabrina to block it once more.
This time, Vicious finally began to take the woman before him seriously.
"Long black hair, a cold, beautiful face... you must be that woman called Sabrina?" He looked Sabrina up and down and snorted. "I hear you and that fellow called Xia You have caused Team Rocket a great deal of trouble? You managed to block the evil Dragonite's Hyper Beam, so you clearly have some skill. But even with your extraordinary psychic powers, you might stop the first attack and the second, but can you stop the tenth?! Before Pokémon, humans are ultimately as fragile as children!"
He was just about to order Dragonite to attack again when footsteps suddenly sounded nearby. Turning his head, he saw that Xia You and Clair had arrived as well.
Before coming here, the two had recalled their Pokémon into their Poké Balls to prevent them from being controlled by the Dark Balls too. Xia You had left only Gardevoir visibly at his side, while Clair had only Charizard with her for protection.
Glancing at the two, Vicious folded his arms, his expression cold but not the slightest bit flustered.
"Excellent. It seems all the nuisances are here now. That saves me the effort of hunting you down!"
His tone was confident and ruthless. He had not even glanced at his subordinates the entire time, seemingly unconcerned about their safety!
Xia You walked unhurriedly to Sabrina's side, studying Vicious as he went.
Unlike ordinary Team Rocket members or executives, Vicious did not wear their usual uniform. His outfit had a distinctive style all its own.
He had a thick tuft of beard on his chin and wore his hair in a small ponytail. A yellow mask
