Bab 154: Chapter 154: The Phantom Thief Escapes
"Sorry, I'm leaving first, CIAO!"
The thief who took the meteorite from the Mossdeep Space Center did not forget to provoke Gary and the others as he started the aircraft behind him to escape.
"Damn it!" Gary and the others were helpless when they saw this situation. Even if they sent out their Pokémon, it was too late. They could only watch him slip away.
"Hahaha!" Just when the thief was about to get away, several Baltoy suddenly appeared in front of him and surrounded him.
Due to the appearance of the Baltoy, the smile on the thief's face disappeared, replaced by an annoyed expression.
"Damn it!"
After cursing inwardly, the thief had to land in front of Gary and the others on the roof.
Now his only way out was to defeat Gary and those Baltoy first, and then escape.
"You have no way to escape now!" Seeing the thief being forced to return, Tate and Liza immediately surrounded him.
Gary, Rosa, and Hilda also came to help Tate and Liza with Pokémon in their hands.
"It seems that we have to deal with you first."
After that, the thief took out a Poké Ball and said to Gary and the others.
"Who are you?" Tate looked at the thief who was still so brazen after being surrounded, so he looked at him sharply and asked.
"Who am I?" At this point, the thief felt there was no need to disguise himself, so he immediately lifted his white coat, removed his disguise, and revealed his real face.
The appearance of Tate and Liza's mother was gone, replaced by a purple-haired man wearing black tights and a scarlet cloak.
"You are the Phantom Thief Brodie!"
Looking at the man with an evil expression in front of him, Gary recognized his identity at a glance. It was the Phantom Thief Brodie of Team Magma.
"Gary, do you know him?" After Gary revealed the identity of the thief in front of him, Rosa, Hilda, Tate, and Liza all looked at Gary.
"Of course," Gary nodded, and then began to briefly explain some of the situations he knew: "His name is Brodie, and he is a member of Team Magma. Because of his superb disguise ability, he is called the Man of a Thousand Faces."
"It turned out to be a member of Team Magma!"
After listening to Gary's words, everyone present stared at Brodie. After all, the reputation of Team Magma is already a big deal in the Hoenn region.
"Oh, I didn't expect that someone here knows me." Brodie was also a little surprised that Gary recognized his identity.
"But, Brodie, since you have shown up today, you'd better surrender!"
Gary also stared at Brodie, ready to take him down today.
"Then we'll see how strong you are." Brodie was not convinced by Gary's threat and didn't take it seriously.
Tate, Liza, and others were also a little angry about Brodie's behavior of ignoring them, so they released their own Pokémon, Solrock and Lunatone.
Facing Tate and Liza's two Pokémon, Brodie directly sent out his Mightyena with the strength of a quasi-king and quickly defeated Tate and Liza's two Pokémon.
"Is this all your strength? It's really disappointing!" After seeing the two Pokémon of the opponent being defeated easily, Brodie also had a disdainful smile on his face.
"Damn, I didn't bring my main Pokémon today, otherwise..." At this time, Tate was also quite annoyed. If the meteorite was taken away because of him, it would be a slap in the face.
"Leave it to me!" Looking at Tate and Liza who had been defeated, Gary took the initiative to stand up and said.
"Then I'll trouble you." Seeing this, Tate and Liza had to give the venue to Gary.
Rosa and Hilda, who were standing by, held Jirachi in their hands and were alert to support Gary.
For Brodie's Mightyena, Gary decisively sent out his Arcanine to fight.
"It seems that you are much better than the two little guys before."
Brodie also saw the Arcanine who didn't care about the power of the Mightyena at all and also learned that the Arcanine in front of him was not easy to mess with, so he was also alert.
For Brodie's words, Gary had no intention of replying, but directly ordered the Arcanine to attack.
"Arcanine, use Flamethrower!"
After receiving the order, the Arcanine immediately used the Flamethrower move and rushed towards the direction of Brodie's Mightyena.
"Mightyena, Dark Pulse!" Brodie did not hesitate for the incoming move but directly ordered the Mightyena to counterattack.
Originally, Brodie thought it was a battle of equal strength, but after two moves, it was far beyond his expectations.
The jet of flames directly defeated the Dark Pulse of the Mightyena and then rushed towards the Mightyena with the remaining force.
Under the attack of the jet of flames, although the Mightyena did not lose its fighting ability, it was also covered with wounds.
"How is it possible!" Even Brodie was surprised by the strength of the Arcanine.
"Wild Charge!" Just when Brodie was stunned, Gary waved his hand and ordered the Arcanine.
Accompanied by a red lightning flash, the Arcanine that used the Wild Charge hit the Mightyena with flames.
The attacked Mightyena was knocked out on the spot and then fell in front of Brodie.
"A King-level Arcanine!"
Seeing this, Brodie knew that the Arcanine in front of him had already reached the King-level strength.
"I didn't expect to meet a trainer like you today." Brodie said after looking at Gary with a complicated expression.
"Since you already know my strength, just surrender!" Gary and Arcanine also fixed their eyes on Brodie.
"I admit defeat, I'll give you this meteorite!"
After that, Brodie gave up and threw the package containing the meteorite to Gary.
In fact, Brodie knew that with Gary's level of trainer, he would definitely be caught if he got entangled, so he had to give up this goal.
Therefore, after Brodie threw the meteorite that he had just obtained to Gary, he took back the Mightyena and sent out Zubat while Gary and others were focusing on the meteorite.
After letting Zubat use the black fog, he fled the scene decisively.
After the black fog at the scene completely dissipated, Brodie was no longer on the roof.
"No, Brodie escaped!"
After Tate looked at the disappearing Brodie, he could only sigh helplessly.
"Forget it, since the meteorite has been taken back, let's just leave it at that!"
Since he had already run away, Gary had no intention of chasing him.
"It can only be like this."
Although he was unwilling, Tate could only accept it helplessly.
"Next time I meet him, I will definitely catch him!"
But Tate was still unwilling, so he secretly made up his mind.
