Trouble in Cerulean City

Following the route Sabrina had given him.

Tetsuya recalled Pidgeot, turning into a shadow as he continuously weaved through the chaotic battlefield.

With his considerable Psychic-type abilities, he was completely at home in this kind of environment.

As long as he wanted to, over ninety percent of the combatants had no way of noticing him.

The remaining ten percent mostly had partners with Champion-level strength or above that possessed one of four types: Psychic Type, Ghost Type, Bug Type, or Dark-type.

Type advantages were something even human psychics could not afford to ignore.

Before long.

Tetsuya arrived before an utterly ordinary little house.

Except...

"I mean, everything around here has been wrecked beyond recognition. Isn't this house standing out a little too much?"

Sensing several auras, Tetsuya pushed open the door and commented dryly.

Inside were the Cerulean Four Sisters and Sabrina.

They looked to be in fairly good condition.

Sabrina sat crouched on the edge of the bed with her arms around her knees. "Heh. Alakazam and I used an Illusion Technique. No one will notice it. We only opened it up specifically for you."

"Alakazam."

Alakazam floated cross-legged nearby, raising a spoon to indicate that its Trainer was right.

"Tetsuya."

"Teacher Tetsuya."

The four sisters and Misty greeted him.

Under Sabrina's care, other than being badly frightened, they had not suffered any injuries.

"Did something happen to Cerulean Gym?"

Tetsuya asked.

"Mm." Sakura's expression was grim. "Team Rocket's attack came far too suddenly.

"And their first target was Cerulean Gym.

"Before Gym Leader Sabrina arrived, more than seventy percent of Cerulean Gym had already been occupied."

Tetsuya narrowed his eyes, but did not find it particularly strange.

This was the greatest difference between humans and Pokemon.

Wild Pokemon would never make plans to charge straight for the Gym
