Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master...

"Well, well... my husband and I are just ordinary scientists. We're practically never seen by the big shots in the alliance, so..."

"Ah!" Seeing Moroboshi's expression, Satoshi immediately realized what was going on.

"Let me guess, you weren't secretly doing your research on reviving fossil Pokémon here behind the League's back, were you?"

"Hehehe~" The Moroboshi couple shuddered at the same time and laughed awkwardly, feeling embarrassed.

"What can be done? Of all the islands in Hoenn, only Wirth Island retains the most complete ancient natural environment features, and even though no one ever comes here except for the port, the Alliance officials are particularly stubborn..."

Then Moroboshi started spouting nonsense about how nobody cares about this land, how pitiful the fossils are buried underground, and how this villa has been abandoned for decades and is crying, among other incomprehensible things.

In short, Xiao Zhi finally understood that this couple were simply the kind of crazy, lawless, and criminal super scientists.

"Why don't you just apply to the alliance for a local research permit?"

"Well, the alliance's requirements are just too complicated!"

"Not only do they want us to provide reports that the research process will not affect the local Pokémon's lives, but we also have to prepare a qualified crisis management plan for them, and then there's the huge environmental guarantee fee..."

"Preparing all these things would require too much money, and my savings have already been used to buy research equipment and build an ecological park. Where would I get so much money?"

Professor Moroboshi awkwardly held up two fingers and twirled them in front of his chest. He knew he was wrong, but he couldn't help it because he loved ancient Pokémon too much.

His wife, Annu, simply liked him so much, and also loved ancient Pokémon, so she joined in her husband's antics.

In fact, the Pokémon League has always been very generous. Many abandoned areas are maintained by the League at its own expense and then opened to the public unconditionally and free of charge.

Therefore, many places that had suffered from environmental damage and no one was willing to take them over became the assets managed by the alliance.

After the alliance has governed those areas well, it does not intend to hold onto them forever.

It's just that things like what Moroboshi and his group did, which could seriously alter the local ecosystem, are extremely difficult for the Alliance to allow.

To succeed, you need some kind of powerful connections.

But the Moroboshi couple naturally didn't have any of these, so they could only secretly do their "dark research." Ash and his friends admired the two's skill and daring; they were truly talented.

"Don't look at us like that. We're all good friends now, so please, please don't tell anyone about what happened here!"

Moroboshi quickly changed the subject.

Seeing that Ash and his friends also really liked these ancient Pokémon, he volunteered to give Ash and his friends a more detailed demonstration of the ancient armor's body structure.

Then, just as he gracefully flipped over the iron railing and arrived next to the Ancient Armor, he was immediately blasted away by the opponent's water cannon attack.

"Ancient armor, why is that?" Dr. Moroboshi gracefully took off amidst the water column.

"Oh, is this ancient armor really that bad-tempered?"

Ash quickly went over to help Professor Moroboshi, who had been thrown out, and helped him up.

Fortunately, the Ancient Armor was only frightened and did not kill Dr. Moroboshi, with whom it spent every day, so it was not seriously injured.

His white coat was completely soaked, making him look a bit disheveled.

"Oh dear, really." Annu quickly grabbed a towel to wipe her unreliable man's face, and to avoid any misunderstanding, she hurriedly and awkwardly explained to Xiaozhi and the others.

"Actually, that child was already quite irritable when he was still an ancient winged insect. Now, perhaps because he has just evolved, he is a little uneasy about the unfamiliarity with his body, so he is even more aggressive."

"Understood." Xiao Zhi and the others tacitly gave the young couple face.

And Dr. Moroboshi, as expected of the human form of Ultraman (just kidding), instantly regained his full power after changing his clothes.

Once again, I excitedly took Ash and his friends to visit the Ancient Feathered Bugs in other ecosystems, letting the newly evolved Archon calm down.

But just as Ash and his friends were getting to know these novel and ancient Pokémon that they had never seen before, the laboratory wall was suddenly blown open.

"What is that?" Moroboshi was the first to rush out.

It turns out that a Houndoom and a Hitmonlee used their combined Suicide Slam to force their way in from the outside.

"Wait, why are these two Pokémon attacking my lab?"

Then several more large nets appeared, and in an instant, all the ancient Pokémon from several ecosystems were pulled into the iron cage inside the belly of a strange robot.

"Hahaha, what a bumper harvest! What a bumper harvest!"

How much would these cost?

Yamato and Kosaburo scooped up the fish net by net, even managing to snatch the newly evolved Ancient Armor.

Upon seeing this sudden scene, the Moroboshi couple immediately questioned them.

"Damn it, who is it? What are they going to do with the Ancient Armor and the others?"

They should have kept quiet until they asked, at which point powerful music suddenly started playing.

"Since you've sincerely asked for my advice!"

"We will tell you with great mercy!"

……

"The Rockets, what are those?"

Because the Moroboshi couple had been conducting experiments in these deep mountains and forests for so long, they hadn't paid attention to what was happening outside.

So they perfectly missed the time when Higanbana led the Rockets to be active, so much so that even when Amado and the others introduced themselves, they didn't recognize each other.

This caused Yamato and his team in the robot's cockpit to slip and fall.

"Oh dear, this is so heartbreaking."

"I originally thought we had already made a name for ourselves in Hoenn..."

I never expected him to be such a nobody!

But then someone who knew them arrived.

Ash and his friends, who had been petting bugs nearby, finally arrived. Upon seeing the scene, they immediately recognized Yamato and his friends.

"Oh my god, it's the Rockets again?"

"You people really never learn to behave!"

What do they do?

Upon seeing Ash and his friends approaching, Moroboshi and his wife immediately hid away as if they had found their pillar of support.

"A bunch of scoundrels who spend all their time stealing other people's Pokémon and then reselling them at exorbitant prices."

"What?! They actually want to kidnap and sell my precious research results? Unforgivable!"

Upon hearing Ash's explanation, Moroboshi immediately flew into a rage, but unfortunately, he was just a scientist and did not have the power of Ash and his friends.

In the end, we had no choice but to leave it to Ash and his friends to solve.

"Go, Pikachu!"

"Please, Bulbasaur, make your charming entrance!"

"Pickup!"

"Seeds, seeds!"

Rockets, you have to play at any time, you can't afford to miss it! (Smirking face)

But how to fight, and how to maximize the benefits, are questions that need to be addressed.

Team Rocket are experienced veterans, and this time Ash decided to let May, who needs more experience right now, take the lead, with him and Pikachu bringing up the rear.

A muscular man dotes on a busty girl~

Seeing that Ash didn't seem inclined to help, Yamato and his friends suddenly felt looked down upon.

"Hey kid, what do you mean by sending a little girl to deal with us?"

"Yeah, this little girl looks like she's still wet behind the ears. If she wants her Pokémon back, she should go get it herself!"

Yamato and his friends had prepared extensively to deal with Ash; if he didn't participate, wouldn't their efforts seem pointless?

Xiaoyao, upon hearing Team Rocket's words, immediately puffed up her cheeks in anger, "Nonsense, I smell wonderful!"

No, she's not wet behind the ears; her milk smells wonderful!

"Xiaoyao, they just mean you're immature."

"Oh, I see."

"Is this little girl an idiot?"

"What an idiot!"

"I'm just a little absent-minded sometimes!"

At this point, May stopped wasting time talking to Yamato and the others and immediately gave Bulbasaur a command.

"Go, Bulbasaur! Use Vine Whip!"

Kosaburo and the others quickly ordered Houndoom and Senburou to engage the enemy.

"Warrior, Flying Knee Strike!"

"Houndoom, Dark Pulse!"

But they are Team Rocket after all. Even if they are the elites of the organization, they are the elites in terms of intellect. They don't usually fight each other.

His ability to command Pokémon was truly appalling.

Moreover, Houndoom and Hitmonchan were Pokémon that Team Rocket headquarters directly gave them to use via Delibird. Unlike James and the others, they didn't personally train their Pokémon, so their teamwork was zero.

The result was predictable.

Bulbasaur nimbly dodged Hitmonchan's Flying Knee Strike, then landed a powerful slam on the ground, causing Hitmonchan to roll over, clutching its knee and howling in pain.

Houndoom's Dark Pulse was deflected because its foot was caught by Bulbasaur's Vine Whip, causing it to fall.

At that moment, Xiaoyao seized the opportunity.

Bulbasaur, Flower Dance!

"seed!"

Numerous petals suddenly filled the air, enveloping Houndoom and Hitmonlee, causing them to suffer tons of damage.

May and Ash's special training has yielded remarkable results; both Pokémon have lost their ability to battle.

"Yay, I won! Well done, Bulbasaur!"
