Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile

Cynthia’s speed was indeed fast. After learning the news, she did not doubt Ash nor did she hesitate, but immediately vouched in her capacity as Champion to lead the team into action.

Despite this swift response, they barely managed to catch Cyrus, who had already erased all the intel.

This indicates that Cyrus was prepared in advance, and they still arrived a step too late.

Cynthia continued, "I had a battle with him. His strength is considerable, and the Pokemon he’s cultivated are above Champion Level, but he had no intention of lingering in the fight."

"Just as I was gaining the upper hand, he tore open a space rift behind him. It’s a technique I’ve never seen before, seemingly beyond the current capabilities of human technology."

Above Champion Level... In humanity, that represents the most elite group of Trainers. As the leader of Team Galactic, it’s not surprising Cyrus would possess such level Pokemon.

And Cynthia also displayed her Champion prowess; even though the opponent had a whole lineup of Champion-level Pokemon, they were no match for her, as there are still differences among Champions.

Yet, he was unable to win and still managed to escape. Team Galactic certainly has plenty of tricks!

"In advance, I had my Psychic-type Pokemon seal the space of the entire villa. The Champion Peak Level Energy Barrier should prevent even Champion Peak Pokemon from using Teleport to break through."

"But that rift completely defied the space laws of this world, tearing through the seal. By the time my Pokemon caught up, the rift had disappeared without a trace."

Cynthia’s voice slowly echoed back in the laboratory, and when Ash heard Cynthia mention the word ’rift’, he had already guessed that it must be related to Giratina’s power.

While Giratina was under Cyrus’s control, Cyrus used Team Galactic’s technology to extract a lot of Giratina’s power, thereby creating various strange gadgets that traverse space.

Like today in the Crystal Tower, the two from Team Galactic used Giratina’s power to tear open space when they left, preventing even Mewtwo and Rayquaza from stopping them.

Although this was because time was somewhat pressing, it also shows that Team Galactic has created quite the monstrous tools using Giratina’s power.

"Indeed, a sly fox with many den escapes. Someone like Cyrus probably planned his escape route since the day Team Galactic was established." Professor Oak sighed but was not too surprised.

How could the leader of Team Galactic be so easily captured? Just like how Team Rocket is in shambles now, but they still haven’t located Giovanni’s whereabouts.

As the head of an organization, they’re not so easily caught.

"Exactly." Cynthia’s voice carried a hint of reluctance but was quickly subdued. "However, I at least removed a poisonous thorn from Sinnoh’s internal affairs; all the networks he built on the surface have been completely taken over by us."

"All his commercial partners, political connections, and those gray industries disguised as charities were eradicated in this operation."

"He was able to remain so discreet before because of the protective umbrella shielding him. Now that the umbrella is gone, it’s much harder for him to stir things up than before."

She paused, her voice tinged with unspoken gratitude.

"Ash, this intel is invaluable to our Sinnoh League. If we allowed him to continue hiding, the consequences would be unimaginable. If he advanced further, he’d reach Sinnoh’s upper echelons, with consequences beyond prediction. I, along with the Sinnoh League, owe you a favor."

Ash scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "No need to exaggerate. We just happened to stumble upon this intel. Even if it wasn’t me, someone else, knowing about this, would surely find a way to inform Miss Cynthia and the Sinnoh League."

"A coincidence... Ash, can you tell me why you knew Cyrus was the leader of Team Galactic? He hid himself perfectly, and if you hadn’t provided this intel, even after ten years we might not have caught his tracks."

"Yet, before you informed us, he was already prepared to evacuate. It suggests he foresaw this scenario... so, what exactly did you experience?"

Cynthia’s curious voice came from the other end of the phone. She genuinely wanted to know how Ash managed to uncover such a deeply hidden individual.

If Ash hadn’t provided the intel, Cyrus would still be a thriving Sinnoh tycoon.

Ash hesitated for a moment, finally choosing to share the day’s events under the slight jostling of the Gravity Ball, "Miss Cynthia, is there anyone else beside you?"

"No. Rest assured, I guarantee that after you tell me, I won’t reveal anything to anyone else, including the League." Cynthia assured.

"Alright, here’s what happened..." Ash proceeded to narrate everything that occurred inside and outside the Crystal Tower to Cynthia.

The sudden appearance of Pluton and Saturn, their mind control over Mitsumi, Unown forcibly infused into Yveltal’s origin, Rayquaza descending from the sky, the Netherworld Dragon disengaged from control with one Dragon Ascent from Rayquaza, and finally, the two from Team Galactic making a hasty retreat.
