Detectives and Officers

Looker and Diantha split up and jumped right into Team Rocket's two operation headquarters...

This is Team Rocket's headquarters?

Watch out, Paulo. We don't know where Team Rocket could be hiding.

Yes, I know.

No need to worry!

Team Rocket won't run or hide!

I guess the disguises and getting found by Team Flare were part of the plan, and just a diversionary tactic!

I also suppose you plan on protecting the secrets kept here until the very end?

You're only half right on that one.

We predicted that someone would find this hideout eventually...

This place is just a distraction!

Since you decided to wander in here, I'll have you disappear!

Tsk...this one was a decoy!

Hahaha! You're quite a good detective!

I didn't expect you to so quickly uncover a disguise I worked on!

(Well... The one who saw through the disguise was Mimi, but...)

(I guess I'll take it!)

Prepare yourself, Team Rocket! We're taking every last one of you into custody!

Are you ready, Emma?

Yep, all good to go!

Whoa! I guess he does have the skills to back up his big claims!

Hate to break it to ya, but this is as far as you go.

*chuckle* Oh, you thought you could just power through us?

Sorry to cut your celebration short, but we'll finish you off now.

Uh-oh... The other executives came to back them up!

So you find Volcanion...beautiful?

Yes.

The reason I find it beautiful is because of how it chooses to exist.

Volcanion possesses massive power, but instead of brandishing it, it chooses to hide itself within the steam...

I do not plan to monopolize Volcanion's power for my own ideals.

But if any foolish human appears and tries to pollute this world with filth...

Volcanion and I shall come out of the steam and pass judgment.

Hey, Lysandre.

In Kalos, you thought that without the power of Pokémon, you weren't able to use the ultimate weapon...

And even now, you need Volcanion's help, right?

If you think you need help from others in order to pursue your motives...

then instead of trying to destroy the world, why don't you find a way to protect it, with help from everyone else?

Th-that's right! We should all be allowed to decide the future of our world together!

There are many people who are trying to make the world a better place, too.

It would be nice if everyone in this world could be as purehearted as you are.

Then I could cast aside my doubts.

My heart hurts thinking that I need to eliminate such a beautiful place like Pasio.

W-we won't let you do that!

Yeah! What Trevs said!

We'll make a new promise with you, Lysandre!

You guys...

I see you are blessed with beautiful friends. I shall keep my hopes high.

Oh, and by the way, I will deal with the troublemakers from Team Flare...

I am the leader of my organization, after all.
