As the largest lake in the Johto Region, Lake of Rage was said to have once been a volcanic crater. After the ground collapsed, rainwater filled it, turning it into what it was today.
To the west of the lake lay an enormous maze of Forest Sea. Whenever it rained, the lake rose and its waters gathered there, turning the entire Forest Sea into a watery expanse. All kinds of amphibious Pokémon would emerge, bringing a lively gathering of creatures. Once the rain stopped, the water level would slowly fall, and the Forest Sea would gradually return to its original tranquility.
But at some unknown point, the Gyarados here had become unusually violent, destroying boats and attacking swimmers everywhere, leaving the nearby residents afraid to approach Lake of Rage lightly anymore!
To uncover the cause of the Gyarados' rampage, the police had sent several officers here to investigate half a month ago. Yet after arriving, rather than finding the cause, they had unexpectedly discovered Team Rocket!
Shocked, they had cautiously refrained from making any rash moves and instead reported the news to the International Police, which had led to this operation!
Under Looker's lead, Xia You, Sabrina, and a squad of International Police officers reached a hillside not far from the Team Rocket Base.
Hiding behind the hillside, they looked toward the lakeshore. A large clearing had been cut out of the once-dense forest, and Team Rocket's Secret Base had been built right there!
Even from a distance, the base looked substantial.
At its center stood a three-story research institute with a thoroughly modern design. Beside it were a signal tower, a warehouse, a power plant, and a full range of other facilities. They had even built a small dock so they could enter and leave Lake of Rage at
