Pokémon: Rebron as Red, The Strongest Champion

While Red and Hitmonchan advanced, they unexpectedly encountered a Team Rocket patrol group, forcing an unnecessary battle to begin.

"Come out, Raticate."

"Come out, Zubat."

"Come out, Muk."

As the three white lights faded, three Pokémon simultaneously appeared before Hitmonchan, glaring menacingly at the Fighting-type, who was warming up for battle.

"Finish them quickly and catch up," Red instructed, turning and using Teleport to vanish from the spot, leaving the three Team Rocket members confused.

(What did I just see?)

'You minor characters can come at me all you want. I don't want to waste my master's time,' Hitmonchan said indifferently, disdainfully allowing the three Pokémon to attack first.

"A mere Pokémon dares to disrespect us so much!" one of the Team Rocket members said angrily, commanding his Raticate, "Raticate, use Crunch."

Hitmonchan calmly analyzed Raticate's attack direction with serene eyes, deftly avoided the attack, then turned and delivered a Power-Up Punch to Raticate's body. Though not a fatal blow, it did increase Hitmonchan's attack power.

"Muk, use Sludge Bomb."

"Zubat, use Astonish."

Seeing that one Raticate couldn't defeat Hitmonchan, the other two Team Rocket members simply ganged up on it. After all, they weren't good guys, so why care about so-called fairness and justice?

A scream erupted from Zubat's mouth, piercing Hitmonchan's ears, but Hitmonchan, possessing the Inner Focus ability, would not flinch. It picked up a small stone and threw it into Zubat's mouth, making the latter obediently shut up. Immediately after, Muk spat out countless globs of sludge. Hitmonchan, seeing this, once again dodged the attack and used Mach Punch on Muk's body, only to find it couldn't cause effective damage. Muk's elasticity simply absorbed the attack's power.

"It seems your strength isn't all that great. That red-hatted brat actually dared to leave you, a single Pokémon, here. It's utterly laughable." The sarcastic words deeply wounded Hitmonchan's pride. This statement was not only contempt for Hitmonchan's own strength but also a denial of Red's trust in it.

Flames of anger burned in Hitmonchan's fists. Hitmonchan wanted to see how many punches this arrogant Muk could withstand! Hitmonchan possessed the Iron Fist ability, and with the previous Power-Up Punch's enhancement, its current punching power had already reached a terrifying level. With one punch to Muk's body, scorching flames burned Muk's body, causing Muk to let out a pained scream.

"Hey, are you guys blind? Hurry up and help!" the Team Rocket member said angrily. His Muk was doing a good job of stalling for time, but these two were just watching the show.

"Raticate, use Take Down!"

"Zubat, use Poison Fang!"

Raticate and Zubat also took action simultaneously, moving behind Hitmonchan, planning a sneak attack from the rear.

(Mere tricks.)

Hitmonchan's human-like mouth twitched, and it gave a disdainful smile, stepping on Muk's body to avoid the attacks. In contrast, Raticate's and Zubat's attacks both hit Muk's body.

"What the hell are you guys doing?!" the Team Rocket member said in despair. They had been completely played by Hitmonchan.

To end the battle quickly, Hitmonchan struck a pose, flexing its muscles and then using Bulk Up.

"Hey, hey, hey, why do I feel like there's something wrong with this guy?!"

Steam inexplicably rose from Hitmonchan's body, a phenomenon that only occurs when body muscles are greatly strengthened.

Hitmonchan quickly rushed in front of the three Pokémon and used Rapid Punch, countless Iron Fists mercilessly striking the faces of the three Pokémon, knocking them to the ground. To prevent the three humans from being a nuisance, without harming their lives, Hitmonchan used the rarely seen Vacuum Wave, knocking out the three Team Rocket members before immediately leaving the scene.

"Strange, why is Dan nowhere to be found?" Red wondered, stroking his chin.

Logically, his sudden intrusion into the underground experiment base would definitely attract Dan's attention, but all along, he had only been dealing with minor thugs, with only a few Captain-level figures appearing, yet they still couldn't stop Red's advance. Seeing this, Red could only guess that there had been internal conflict within the experiment base, causing Dan to leave first.

In a cold laboratory, a young, gray-haired youth stared ferociously at the Jolteon before him. He hadn't expected Experiment Body No. 2, transported to this location, to have been feigning weakness all along, when in fact its stamina had long since fully recovered.

"So those Team Rocket guys are useless trash; they can't even control one experiment," the gray-haired youth said irritably, looking at his left hand, which twitched occasionally. This was clearly the result of the electricity released by the Jolteon.

The Jolteon bit through the controller restricting its body, its hateful gaze fixed firmly on the gray-haired youth. Under the youth's slightly surprised eyes, the Jolteon released electricity from its entire body, high-voltage currents striking the youth's body like lightning snakes.

"Interesting. I didn't expect your stamina to be quite so abundant, but your utility has ended. I've already obtained the genetic serum from your body," the gray-haired youth said indifferently, feeling no pain from the electricity injected into his body, as if all the electricity released by the Jolteon had been channeled into the ground by the youth.

The gray-haired youth placed the serum obtained from the Jolteon on the instrument, then turned and activated another secret switch. Countless mechanical tentacles grabbed the Jolteon's limbs, once again restricting its movement, despite its frantic struggles.

"You fellow, just obediently witness the miracle!" the gray-haired youth exclaimed excitedly, his eyes revealing a mad obsession, making the Jolteon inexplicably afraid and shiver all over. It believed this seemingly human fellow was extremely dangerous.

The gray-haired youth manipulated the experimental equipment before him, analyzing the pros and cons of the genetic serum, then pressed a switch. Behind him, a cage gradually appeared, containing a Dodrio that was exhausted and emaciated. The pitiable thing was that this visibly emaciated Dodrio had not only been abused by Team Rocket, but also bore numerous wounds from forced blood draws. These wounds had only been roughly bandaged by the impatient Team Rocket, which did nothing to alleviate Dodrio's injuries. Instead, the wounds tore open, leading to inflammation, and the injuries worsened.
