Lance said he would cover for him with a gun.
"Let Natsuhiko and Lance go in with the Handsome Guy." Lira's voice came through the earpiece.
As the chief commander, she was stationed in the control room.
If necessary, she'll make a move herself.
Immediately, the two found a corner to change into the outfit.
"Let me handle this for you."
Handsome Guy smeared something on their faces, instantly changing their appearance significantly. Coupled with the masks, their recognition was still quite low.
Then, under Handsome Guy's lead, the three entered the interior of the P2 Laboratory.
"Mr. Natsuhiko, follow me and don't speak."
Handsome Guy softly reminded them before leading them into the deeper part of the corridor.
Just as Handsome Guy had said.
There weren't many people inside the laboratory, and they barely encountered anyone along the way.
Even when they did, there was no interaction; they just hurried past each other.
Handsome Guy had been undercover with the Plasma Team for so long, naturally, he managed to acquire an identity card.
With this identity card, they smoothly entered the interior of the laboratory.
But Handsome Guy wasn't enough to reach mid-to-high levels within the Plasma Team, so there were places he hadn't been to, including the control room of the entire P2 Laboratory.
A cramped room.
"I suspect the control room is in the Z4 area of F4." Handsome Guy pointed to the blacked-out area on the map and said.
He also explained the reason.
"Because, from my observations, this area has the most guards, and Colress spends the longest time in this area."
"If there are many guards, how do we infiltrate it?" Natsuhiko frowned and asked.
"Leave it to us." Lira's voice came through the earpiece.
Not long after.
Boom!!!
The entire laboratory shook slightly, a massive explosion roared outside the laboratory.
The next moment.
The alarm sounded inside the laboratory.
Natsuhiko: "..."
Immediately afterward.
Dense footsteps swiftly passed outside the room where they were.
Natsuhiko and Lance exchanged a glance.
They suddenly liked the style of the International Criminal Police's actions.
As the footsteps gradually faded away, they left the room once again, running toward the deeper floors of the laboratory.
At the same time, Handsome Guy had a special device in his hand, which he pressed a button on, and explained:
"This device can confuse the surveillance cameras."
The International Criminal Police's technology gear was not at all lagging behind.
However.
Once here, everything started becoming unpredictable.
As they ran past a laboratory, they happened to encounter a researcher in a white coat who was stretching and walking out.
Their gaze met his.
"You guys..."
Bang!
In the shadows.
Aegislash appeared with its shield raised, it had just knocked the person out with the shield.
Finally, someone fell inside the laboratory.
But this meant that they were in greater danger, more likely to be discovered.
Once someone found out they couldn't contact this researcher, it was likely to be guessed someone had infiltrated the laboratory.
"Quickly!" Lance couldn't help but hissing urgently.
"Wait!"
As they passed the laboratory door, Natsuhiko suddenly stopped and walked into the laboratory.
"Mr. Natsuhiko, now is not the time for research." Handsome Guy couldn't help but remind.
Lance didn't hesitate to follow Natsuhiko inside, saying to Handsome Guy, "Trust him."
The laboratory was filled with numerous green plants.
It seemed specifically used for plant research.
Natsuhiko pressed the earpiece, "Dr. Cypress, can you see this?"
They carried miniature cameras on them, and although the signal turned poor once inside the laboratory, the image wasn't clear, it still somewhat captured something.
"This is....."
Dr. Cypress's voice came through the earpiece.
"Ancient plants!"
Sure enough.
"These outlines... although unclear, I estimate they're at least from a hundred million years ago, maybe even older plants, didn't expect the laboratory to cultivate them here." The voice carried surprise.
Dr. Cypress's topic is "The Origin of Pokémon," researching ancient history, naturally being familiar with these matters.
Natsuhiko steadily walked to the research table beside him.
He looked at a piece of dark brown, which resembled both wood and sponge, lying on the table, its sides connected with several special currents, the screen displaying values.
"This... wood can conduct electricity?" Handsome Guy asked curiously.
Natsuhiko ignored him.
"Let's go."
Before leaving, he casually took a plant that floated on the water like water hyacinth from the pool at the laboratory entrance.
Though Lance and Handsome Guy were curious about what he was doing, time was tight, so they asked no further.
Finally.
Under the unreserved actions of Natsuhiko and Lance, they smoothly reached the Z4 area in the basement level four.
Once here.
All radio signals were completely blocked.
They could only rely on themselves.
But after all, the Z4 area is a sizable region, no one could accurately determine which room held the control room.
"Use Pokémon."
Natsuhiko immediately threw out a Pokeball.
Summoning Alakazam.
Alakazam understood Natsuhiko's intention, promptly spreading its powers, conducting a comprehensive cover.
Natsuhiko placed his hand on Alakazam's back, sharing in the scenes "seen" through Alakazam's super sensing.
However.
