(Japanese: ギンガ団最強の戦士 The Galaxy Gang's Greatest Warrior) is the sixteenth chapter of the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga.
Synopsis
As Cyrus obtains Mesprit at Lake Verity, he is confronted by Professor Rowan. He asks the Professor if he plans to interfere with his plans, and Rowan replies that he personally has no plans to stop him, however Hareta will certainly smash his ambitions. Cyrus wonders about that as he tells Rowan of his greatest warrior, someone he should know quite well...
Our heroes arrive at the Galactic Veilstone Building, Hareta comments on how they're finally there, with Byron replying that it only took so long because of Hareta taking all the side roads to catch Pokémon. He then goes into a speech about all the people and Pokémon they've hurt, asking if they're prepared to go. Hareta replies affirmatively with a mouth full of food, as all the other Gym Leaders eat too. After Byron asks them why exactly why they're eating, Hareta replies that they can't battle on an empty stomach. Meanwhile, the grunt with the butt, who is on guard duty, asks them what they're doing out the front of HQ, and Hareta replies offering a request for him to join the meal, which he accepts. Byron then asks why exactly they're eating with the enemy. Jupiter watches from the security system, questioning what's going on, as Team Galactic's greatest warrior comments that she looks forward to defeating them all. After finishing their meal, Hareta and the Gym Leaders storm Galactic HQ, splitting into 3 teams as Byron goes with Hareta. Gardenia steps on a Warp Panel, and ends up in a room with Team Galactic's greatest warrior. She seems to recognise her, however Gardenia is attacked before she can confirm the warrior's identity. Meanwhile, Hareta and Byron continue their attack on the building, as they suddenly realise that everyone seems to have disappeared. They then hear the voice of Jupiter over the PA system notifying them their plan is a failure and displaying the defeated Gym Leaders on a screen
