Sage, Blue and Leaf hovered in the air on their flying Pokémon with their eyes locked onto the faint flicker of energy pulsing through the top of the psychic barrier.
They could sense the pressure of the situation as they knew they were only moments away from entering the heart of Team Rocket's operations in Saffron City.
It's our best chance" Sage said, her eyes narrowing as she spotted a faint flicker of energy near the top of the barrier.
We can break through there" Sage said as Leaf and Blue both turned their attention to the weak spot and for a moment, the tension in the air grew thick.
They knew this was their opportunity and they had to act fast.
Alright, Pidgeot" Sage said as she gripped tightly onto her Pokémon as she gave the command.
Use Air Slash!" Sage said as Pidgeot flapped its massive wings, releasing a concentrated wave of sharp wind.
The wind sliced through the air with precision and the barrier cracked under the force as a hole was created as it was big enough for them to fly in.
Nice work, Pidgeot!" Sage shouted with a smile on her face
Blue and Leaf nodded in agreement.
Let's go!" Blue said as the trio urged their flying Pokemon to flying into the hole.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the trio passed through the barrier and into Saffron City, the scene before them was unsettling.
Team Rocket grunts lined the streets as they were patrolling and forcing the citizens into their homes as the air was thick with fear and the peaceful city had turned into a makeshift prison under Team Rocket's control.
This might be a problem," Blue said with his voice laced with frustration as he surveyed the grunts.
I agree" Leaf added as he clenched her fists.
We need to take them down but we can't waste time. We have to stop whoever's controlling this chaos" Leaf said.
Me and Leaf we handle all the Team Rocket grunts outside. We don't know how many of them are here but we can't let them stop us" Blue said.
Sage nodded in agreement with her heart racing.
I'm going to head straight for Silph Co to find Red and I will also take down whoever is in charge of all this" Sage said.
Leaf and Blue exchanged a quick glance before turning back to Sage.
Be careful, Sage" Blue warned.
That Psychic Pokemon who made the Barrier could have already informed Team Rocket that we are here" Blue said.
Sage's eyes widened as the realization sank in as she frowned slightly as this was going to get tougher!
Understood" Sage said with determination in her voice as she urged Pidgeot forward as the powerful bird Pokémon took off toward Silph Co.
Sage you better be careful" Blue thought as he and Leaf looked at each as they went to handle all the Team Rocket grunts outside.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Sage approached the entrance of Silph Co, she saw the two grunts standing guard as they were too focused on watching the streets to notice her, giving her the perfect opportunity to strike.
Use Air Slash, Pidgeot!" Sage commanded as with a powerful flap of its wings, Pidgeot released a gust of cutting air, striking the grunts head-on.
The two grunts crumpled to the ground as they werw knocked out cold as Sage let out a breath of relief but she knew this was only the beginning.
Pidgeot landed as Sage got off as she recalled her flying type back into its Pokéball.
Sage quietly approached the entrance to Silph Co as she said.
Red you better be safe" Sage whispered.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Blue and Leaf were making their way through the city streets as they were battling grunts left and right.
Blue's confidence was evident as he effortlessly dispatched the grunts with a mix of his Pidgeot's speed and his own quick thinking.
This is a piece of cake" Blue said with a grin.
Leaf commanded her Fearow to use Wing Attack as her flying type Pokemon took out a good chunk of the Team Rocket grunts but they kept on coming.
Something doesn't feel right" Leaf said as she looked around.
There are so many grunts here. It's like they're waiting for something big to happen" Leaf said.
Blue paused for a moment with his gaze sweeping across the city.
I think you're right. They're just biding their time, waiting for the order and whatever Team Rocket is planning, it's bigger than we thought" Blue said.
The two trainers exchanged a look, both of them feeling the weight of the situation as they had to hurry and finish all the Team Rocket grunts so they could regroup with Sage.
