Pikachu!
The interplay of flames and electricity wiped out the entire elite Team Rocket squad in no time, thanks to Charmeleon and Pikachu.
"..."
Red slowly emerged from the corner, slightly raising the brim of his red and white baseball cap as he glanced at the fallen Team Rocket members.
He took out the red and white balls, put away the exhausted Cara Cara, and heard a series of footsteps approaching.
"Let's go..."
Without hesitation, Crimson, along with Pikachu and Charmeleon, headed towards the stairs leading to the next floor.
...
...
Silver Tower, fifth floor!
On the surface, the Silver Company is still managed by President Silver, but in reality...
Indeed, as Ms. Zhenzi, the secretary to the president of Silver Corporation, said, the entire Silver Building has indeed been taken over by Team Rocket.
Each floor is guarded by a large number of Team Rocket members. President Silver is under control, and the other employees are also imprisoned.
Of course, many wild Pokémon, or those Pokémon that trainers could no longer find, were also kept here and became experimental subjects for Team Rocket!
As the red Pokémon broke through floor after floor, the Pokémon imprisoned by Team Rocket and the employees of Silph Corporation were released from each floor.
Meanwhile, those employees, in order to drive Team Rocket out of Silph Corporation, directed the Pokémon that were willing to help.
They were causing trouble for Team Rocket everywhere, preventing them from causing problems for Red in the short term.
"..."
Crimson, who had thought he would be breaking in alone, was deeply moved to find that someone would actually help him.
The mutual help and kindness between humans and Pokémon made Red's resolve even stronger!
This is the most beautiful side of the world!
And Team Rocket, who want to disrupt this...
I will never forgive him, never!
...
...
With the help of Silver Company employees, Crimson's subsequent progress became much smoother.
At least for the time being, there's no need to worry about the Rockets catching up from behind.
So, after breaking through Team Rocket on the fifth floor, Red set off towards the sixth floor of the building.
...
...
Unlike the previous floors, the sixth floor has very few rooms; most of it is occupied by a huge swimming pool!
This swimming pool occupies almost two-thirds of this floor.
In the middle of the pool, a Pokémon lay quietly on the surface of the water, its eyes filled with sadness, gazing at the night outside the window, lost in thought.
It is the mascot of The Silver Company, carrying the Pokémon... Lapras!
The upper half of Laplace's body is blue, while the skin from its chin to the tip of its tail is white.
It has a protrusion on its head and spiral structures on both sides of its head. It has four fins, with the first two being larger.
On its back, it also carries a gray shell with many uneven bumps.
Laplace didn't used to belong here; it belonged to the sea near the Orange Islands in the Kanto region, but because of one day...
It was accidentally separated from its people, which led to its capture by humans. In the end, it became the mascot of the Silver Company and was kept by the Silver Company.
Here, there is no need to worry about food or encounter danger, which is especially beneficial for Lapras, who possess the ability to communicate deeply with humans.
There are many people here; it's a very interesting place (870), although I didn't particularly like the narrow water tank and the view...
However, when it got used to all of this and began to forget the sights of its homeland...
Accident happened!
The Rockets took over Silver Company.
Countless Pokémon lost their lives due to Team Rocket's experiments!
Today, the researcher who had been protecting it in the Poké Ball has been captured by Team Rocket.
And it itself was also locked up here by the Rockets.
And their own fate, like that of those Pokémon, will ultimately be to lose their own...
It was ready to die.
boom!
Tap—tap—tap—!
As the pool doors opened, a group of Team Rocket experimenters walked in, carrying various experimental machines.
"La~woo~!"
As the machine gripped him, Laplace seemed resigned to his fate, slowly closing his eyes.
Quietly awaiting the end of life.

"It looks like it's ready..."
"Be prepared to die!"
A Team Rocket lab technician in a white uniform with a red "R" logo on his chest held a syringe, stared at Laplace, and gave her a cruel smile.
"Lawoo..."
Laplace closed its eyes, offering no resistance, preparing to accept the end of its life.
But it was at this very moment!
"Let go of that Pokémon!"
A cold voice, tinged with anger, suddenly rang out from the doorway.
"Who?"
"La~woo?"
The sudden sound interrupted the actions of the Team Rocket experimenters, and Laplace immediately opened his eyes.
I looked to the side, towards the entrance!
Tap—tap—tap—!
"..."
A boy, dressed in a black shirt and black trousers, with a red and white jacket, black short hair, and a red and white Poké Ball baseball cap, slowly walked over.
Those unmistakable crimson eyes stared directly at the Team Rocket experimenters, a burning rage emanating from them.
Meanwhile, a Pikachu was perched on the boy's shoulder, staring intently at the Team Rocket experimenter, with wisps of golden electricity crackling on the red electric sacs on either side of its cheeks.
There was also a Charizard that was always by the boy's side, its eyes fixed on the Team Rocket experimenter, and wisps of flame drifting out from its breath.
"La~ Ooh?"
Upon seeing that someone had come to rescue him, Laplace's eyes lit up, filled with both joy and worry.
It knew how terrifying Team Rocket was. Could this boy really defeat them?
"Child, how did you get here?"
"Kid, didn't your parents tell you not to bother adults?"
"Kid, this isn't a place for little brats like you!"
"You don't want to save this Laplace, do you, kid?"
"You, a mere child?"
"..."
The Team Rocket experimenters, who were somewhat stunned by the interruption, were relieved to see that it was a child who had barged in, and they all started to mock Red.
Subsequently, several Pokémon experimenters sent out their Pokémon, including Muk, Zubat, Sandslash, and others, which all appeared in front of Red!
The remaining Team Rocket experimenters went about their business, completely ignoring Red, Pikachu, and Charmeleon.
After all, what threat could a yellow-skinned rat or a fire lizard that hasn't even evolved to its final form pose?
Even the two experimenters who were preparing to use Laplace's experiment felt relieved and prepared to continue their experiment, taking their syringes and heading towards Laplace.
"La~woo!"
This time, however, Laplace did not resign itself to its fate as before, and struggled frantically in the machine that had grabbed it.
However, with its energy sealed and unable to use its skills, it is ultimately a useless feat.
However, even so, Laplace did not give up. The boy had given it a glimmer of hope, and it wanted to respond to him!
"..."
Upon seeing the two experimenters approaching Laplace, Crimson immediately strode towards them.
"Trying to leave? You really don't take us seriously!"
"Muck, use Sludge Bomb!"
"Golem, use your venomous fangs!"
"Sand King, use Split!"
