Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

The scientific name for this condition should be…

Love-struck~

...

"Venusaur, use Harden Plant!"

In Goldenrod City, right in front of Gym Leader Nobuhiko, the sprightly old man commanded an equally extraordinary Venusaur to easily tie up more than a dozen Rocket minions like dumplings.

"Please don't be nervous... My name is Yu Kang, and I have come here specifically to assist you."

...

All the pioneers who are about to establish themselves in Kanto have been dispersed to support the major cities, with only Asakusa City and Crimson Town remaining vacant.

However, these two places are guarded by the two strongest gym leaders in Kanto, and no one dares to cause trouble!

In addition, there was Aster Town, where a slight incident occurred.

A group of soldiers who were originally going to attack Golden City changed their route and came here instead... or rather, they fled here as a defeated army after their mission failed.

While Giovanni's attack was ostensibly an act of retaliation, it was in reality also a purge within Team Rocket.

His defeat by Ash at the Viridian Gym was indeed a blow to his reputation within Team Rocket, and a considerable number of people no longer held him in the same esteem as before.

Sakaki didn't need these wavering individuals, so he deployed them to various parts of Kanto, ostensibly allowing them to wreak havoc and have fun, but in reality, he wanted to use the Alliance to eliminate these traitors.

It would hurt the league, eliminate rivals, and alleviate the Rockets' financial pressure—why not?

Such people will not return to the Rockets after their escape, but they will also not choose to behave themselves, because they have long been accustomed to doing evil and will not accept a life bound by order!

So some of them came to Purple Garden.

Even if I no longer play for Team Rocket, I can still do my old job... Cubone's skull is valuable, and some of the ghost Pokémon in the tower can attract buyers with unique tastes.

"Why...why are you disturbing the Pokémon that are sleeping here?!"

But when a group of greedy men swaggered into the Bone Tower, they were stopped by a mysterious figure wearing a cloak whose face was obscured.

The other person questioned in a low voice, their tone seemingly filled with barely suppressed anger!

The actions of these bastards always made it clearly see the evil in humanity, but because of someone's teachings, it could only constantly remind itself... not to generalize from a single instance.

However, some scoundrels are ultimately unforgivable!

"Who are you?" "Yeah, mind your own business!"

"As expected... there's one team I absolutely cannot forgive you for!!"

The mysterious figure slowly extended a hand with three fleshy, ball-shaped fingers. It suddenly clenched its fist, binding the group of thugs in front of it together without any ability to resist!

A glint of light flashed in the eyes beneath the cloak, and these people immediately lost their memories of what had just happened, and were simultaneously teleported to the entrance of the police station in Purple Garden Town.

The mysterious creature, no longer willing to pay attention to these guys, floated up and stood above the local Pokémon House, silently watching an old man enjoying his retirement.

"Bye now…"

The wind high in the sky lifted its cloak, revealing its true form, and the long tail behind it that swayed unconsciously...

Soon, the chaos in Kanto gradually subsided, and the war waged by Team Rocket was drawing to a close…

Except for the only remaining city, Karaba!

"Faster...something's wrong over there!"

At this moment, Ash, who was on his way, looked extremely nervous...

Chapter 233 The Battle of Kuye Port, VS Three Birds in One!

The three people, red, green and blue, who had set off from the Quartz Plateau, have now just barely flown over Yuhong City.

They changed vehicles on the way. Ash was riding a Dragonite with Blue, while Gary was riding a Finch.

The trio set off in a hurry, but fortunately, Nanami helped to teleport Pokémon, and Gary also had Umbreon, a healer, with him, so they were able to recover their health at any time during the journey.

Ash plans to wait until after passing Lampritch before letting Charizard ride alone, and then teleport everyone directly to Vermilion City.

It's really a coincidence.

Ash chose Vermilion City as his destination because this route would allow him to pass through most cities from the Indigo Plateau, in order to check on the Gym Leaders' counterattacks.

Moreover, after arriving in Vermilion City, he can launch a counter-attack using the Vermilion Gym's teleportation panel!

However, he did not expect that Giovanni would also focus Team Rocket's invasion of Kanto there!

He had just received news that Kukui, who was guarding the Sakuragi Research Institute, had officially engaged in combat with the invaders, and all of Konoha City's police force had also been deployed to the battle!

At the same time, a strange tsunami suddenly formed off the coast of Kureha City. The terrifying waves not only crashed into Kureha Port and the coastal streets several times, but also affected the surrounding towns!

"A tsunami... could it be because of that Dragonite?" Gary wondered, puzzled, as they traveled.

"Absolutely impossible!" Ash immediately denied. "I've emphasized to the giant Dragonite many times that it wouldn't be so reckless!"

Ash absolutely refused to believe that the tsunami was related to Dragonite. On the contrary, he believed that it was precisely because of Dragonite's presence that the tsunami did not cause more serious damage!

"Let's replace the Pokémon, and the truth will come out soon!"

Ash released Charizard, leaving Blue to ride Dragonite alone. Gary also sent his Pidgeot back and then replaced it with a Pidgeot. The three of them were then enveloped by Ash's psychic powers and instantly disappeared into the air!

Meanwhile, the massive Dragonite stationed on the outskirts of Kurenai Port was barely holding off wave after wave of crashing waves.

It used its enormous body to shield the harbor, constantly shattering the oncoming waves, while also spewing powerful energy into the air from its mouth.

"Ugh..." Dragonite let out a helpless growl. In all its years of life, apart from the time it was chased and beaten by the ancient Caterpie, it had never fought such a frustrating battle.

In this era of extreme scarcity of natural energy, Dragonite is unable to lift its heavy body with its wings alone, and thus has completely lost its ability to fly.

But its adversary is always flying in the air, and it keeps trying to bypass it and attack the cities behind it!

That was a strange-looking hodgepodge of Pokémon... No, Dragonite even thought it wasn't one Pokémon at all, but three!

It has a body with three colors mixed together, a pair of huge wings with a bizarre shape, and three heads with completely different shapes!

Moltres, Zapdos, Articuno… the legendary three birds that served a certain sea god have actually been forcibly put together?!

Dragonite could sense that the three legendary birds in front of it possessed several times more energy than when they were alone.

They seem to have gained some supernatural abilities, and the tsunami that is currently raging is following them!

It wasn't some deliberately unleashed ultimate move; it was simply the fusion of the three attributes of ice, fire, and lightning that caused the ocean currents in the surrounding sea to surge wildly!

"Whoosh!" After a roar, Dragonite unleashed another powerful burst of energy, but it knew it was about to lose control of its opponent...

Boom!

Sure enough, different type attacks were simultaneously spewed out from the three bird heads, intertwining in the air to form a violent explosion. The remaining ice-type energy swept across Dragonite's body, leaving a series of light blue double flowers on it.

While Dragonite's actions were hampered, the three-headed bird, with its six blood-red eyes glaring, swiftly charged towards the city center!

"Woo..." Dragonite immediately sensed something was wrong, but it was too late to stop it.

Moreover, the tsunami was surging in from behind, forcing it to raise its fist again to defend itself...

hum!

Fortunately, at the critical moment, a ripple of superpowers suddenly blocked the three-headed bird's path, followed by four sudden energy attacks!

"Pidgeot, Hyper Beam!" "Dragonite, Dragon Pulse!" "Charizard, Fire Blast! Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"

The three Pokémon carrying people unleashed powerful energy at the same time, and with Pikachu's Thunderclap, the three-headed bird was forced back to the edge of the harbor!

"What... how did the Three Holy Birds end up like this?" Upon seeing the scene before him, Xiao Mao was shocked.

"It's obviously Team Rocket's doing!" Blue exclaimed warily. "Look at their heads, isn't that the Rage Device?"

The three members of the trio simultaneously discovered that each of the three-headed birds was wearing a helmet-like device on its head, indicating that they had not only been forcibly merged, but their minds were also being controlled by Team Rocket.

"Three birds as one..." Ash muttered to himself with a solemn expression.

This was originally a scene from a special manga, but Team Rocket in the manga uses an energy amplifier powered by the power of their badges, so we don't know what kind of advanced technology it will be now.

However, this guy is obviously quite troublesome, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to break through Dragonite's defense!

"Oh no! It's going to attack again!" Sharp-eyed Xiao Mao immediately warned.

"We must stop it! Charizard, use Blaze!"

"Blastoise, go! Hydro Pump!"

"Little frog, let's use hardened plants!"

Almost simultaneously, the red, green, and blue trio unleashed their ultimate battle techniques, directly confronting the combined ice, fire, and lightning attacks of the three birds in mid-air!

Boom! !

A deafening explosion erupted in mid-air, and the terrifying shockwave blew Ash and his two companions to the ground. The starter Pokémon, temporarily unable to move, were all thrown around in a daze!

"Wow!!"

But the three-headed bird seemed completely unaffected. It let out a violent cry, spread its giant wings and circled in the sky before suddenly swooping down on Ash and the others below!

"Damn it... I can't move! This is a divine bird!!" Xiao Mao gritted his teeth in frustration.

The divine bird created by the combined Three Sacred Birds seemed to have an ever-increasing chance of cowering. Shigeru felt himself locked in by a terrifying aura, unable to retaliate or even move!

"You think you can just make us surrender? Not so easy!!"
