"Intruders! Quick! Catch them!"
In the testing grounds, the Pokémon League officer's roar rang out amid the thick smoke and piercing alarms.
Dozens of Pokémon League guards who had been standing by nearby swarmed toward the smoke-filled area from every direction, like sharks scenting blood.
"Activate 'Rampage's' autonomous pursuit mode!" A cruel smile spread across the officer's face.
He wanted these intruders, who had no idea what they were getting themselves into, to experience the power of the Pokémon League's latest masterpiece firsthand.
The researcher beside the console immediately entered a new command.

Its attacks had neither technique nor pattern, only the purest, most primal destruction.

The entire underground air-raid shelter shook violently under its frenzied destruction, as though it might collapse at any moment.
"Boss! They're flanking us!"
"That monster's coming after us too! We're almost out of escape routes!"

Ye Li's calm voice reached everyone's ears through their tactical headsets.
He had already anticipated that the retreat would be anything but smooth.
"Everyone, form a crossfire covering formation around me!
