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

But this is just a battle. If you want to stop them and discuss things like world affairs, morality, and the relationship between humans and Pokémon...

Sorry, the legendary gods don't have time to listen to a human rambling on.

To truly engage in an equal dialogue with legendary Pokémon, one must perhaps stand on their level...

So, it seems that Mewtwo, who can be won over with words, is perhaps more like a human.

Now that you mention it, Xiao Zhi suddenly misses it a little, wondering how this 'beloved child' has been doing lately...

"Is that all?" Xiao Lan leaned closer and asked, "What are we going to do next?"

"Dragonite, you should head back to the island first. You've really had a tough time on this trip." After waving goodbye to the giant Dragonite, Ash made a decision. "As for us, of course we'll head straight to Vermilion City Gym and use the Teleportation Panel to launch a counter-attack! Giovanni will never expect that instead of going back to the venue to accept the prize, I'll continue to raid his base!"

Speed ​​is of the essence in war, especially since Lugia has just helped them restore their strength. Tomohiro, Ran, and the others are all in their prime, and he wouldn't be afraid even if he encountered Giovanni!

What's more, he also received powerful reinforcements this time.

"Screech!" "Whoosh!" "Gah!"

Upon hearing that Ash and his friends were going to take on Team Rocket, the three legendary birds clearly expressed their desire to follow them!

The silver feathers would make them befriend Ash, and besides, they wouldn't bother showing any leniency to their enemies; revenge is the only right thing to do!

"Let's go cause some trouble together!" Ash clenched his fist and, with all his companions and the three legendary birds that had temporarily joined, marched in a mighty force towards Vermilion City Gym!

...

"Have they all left...? The three sacred birds, without their duties, are truly useless..."

Xiao Zhi and his friends didn't notice that a man dressed in a magnificent long robe was watching the situation unfold from afar.

He showed undisguised disappointment towards the three legendary birds, but utter greed towards the departing Lugia…

"The God of the Sea, and the three gods of ice, fire, and thunder... these are the treasures I must obtain!"

Chapter 237 Surprise Attack, Capital Headquarters!

By the time Ash and his friends arrived at Vermilion City Gym, the battles in the city had basically ended.

With the cooperation of the local police, Kukui successfully prevented Team Rocket from wreaking havoc, and everyone at Sakuragi Labs was safe and sound.

However, upon hearing that Ash was about to launch a counterattack against Team Rocket, they couldn't help but feel a little worried as they rushed to the Vermilion City Gym to meet up.

"Wouldn't this be too much of a hassle... and isn't the venue waiting for you to go back and receive the award?" Dr. Barnett asked with concern.

"That's exactly how we'll catch our opponent off guard!" Ash said decisively. "Besides, with the three legendary birds assisting us, we're sure to win this battle!"

The legendary birds... everyone present could only marvel at the sight of the legendary bird Pokémon quietly following the trio.

Leading the charge against evil groups, and now living amidst legends... The travel experiences of these children in just one year are more exciting than many people's years or even decades!

Seeing that Ash and the others had made up their minds, the researchers stopped trying to persuade them. Professor Sakuragi helped open the gym door and led them to a secret room located underground.

It was an empty, sealed room. The entire room was airtight, and even the floor was paved with a single, huge stone slab, completely bare with no gaps in sight.

Dr. Sakuragi, together with Dr. Barnett, connected a device brought from the research institute. The device looked like a disc, and after it was connected, the floor of the room quietly lit up with a faint light.

“This is a simple absorption plate we made. If we inject living energy into it, it will activate the room’s teleportation panel,” Dr. Barnett explained. “I’ve already completed the teleportation location; as long as there’s enough energy, the teleportation will definitely be successful!”

"If it's living energy, a powerful move should be enough, right?" Ash recalled that in the special manga, it seemed that the Hoenn starter Pokémon used their ultimate move to activate the Absorption Disk.

"Screech!" However, just as Ash was about to let Charizard and the others show off their skills, Moltres and the other three legendary birds stepped forward on their own.

Ash is leading his birds in a counterattack against their enemies, so the three birds naturally have to show their support.

"Then I'll leave it to you~" Since the other party was willing to help, Xiaozhi naturally had no reason to refuse.

Compared to ordinary Pokémon, the three birds have significantly more energy inside them, and they recover much more easily afterward.

After all, even the most powerful Charizard can't just jump into lava to regain its strength... but Moltres can!

hum!

The jet of flame, the freezing ray, and 100,000 volts simultaneously bombarded the absorption plate, and soon the instrument's screen displayed a progress bar indicating that the energy was fully charged.

"Prepare to teleport!" Professor Barnett quickly led everyone outside and pressed the teleportation switch. "Ash, have a safe journey!"

call out!

The ripples in the space vanished in an instant, and the secret room returned to its empty state.

...

faint.

After the teleportation began, Xiao Zhi felt a dizzying sensation more intense than ever before. Even with his abnormal physical abilities, it was difficult for him to feel dizzy.

He felt like he had wandered onto the wrong movie set, and was involuntarily teleporting... as if he had been forcibly thrown out of a swung rubber tube and then fell to the ground in a daze.

"Oh my god..." "Ugh~"

If Ash is like this, the other two are naturally even worse... Blue was rubbing his temples in discomfort, and Gary simply started to lean against the wall and dry heave.

"Tch... You're not even as firm as me, you stingy green, you're really weak~" But even at this moment, Xiao Lan still didn't forget to bicker with Xiao Mao.

"You... hiccup!" The latter was immediately furious and wanted to retaliate, but could only curse inwardly that she couldn't do it.

After a while, the three of them finally felt better from the teleportation... This also made Xiaozhi realize that they had probably been teleported a considerable distance, possibly even to a different region!

The room they were in was decorated very similarly to the secret room of the Vermilion City Gym, and outside should be Team Rocket's secret base.

Unfortunately, Giovanni wasn't here... which disappointed Ash.

His hasty counterattack was indeed an attempt to catch Giovanni, but if he missed, there was nothing he could do.

"Let's go, let's launch an attack and see if we can catch a big fish!"

"Okay!"*2

The three of them simultaneously dispatched their Pokémon, which, together with the three legendary birds, smashed through the wall and stormed into the base's corridor!

A crushing defeat with overwhelming odds has begun!

With the powerful Tritons in charge, and the three of them being strong trainers themselves, nothing could stop them, not even the members of Team Rocket or the various defense systems within the base!

The network-controlled devices will be hacked by Porygon II, the mechanisms triggered along the way will be crushed into scrap metal by psychic powers, and the Pokémon such as Koffing and Voltorb hidden in the floor and wall compartments will all be hypnotized and rendered harmless.

As for those enemies who dared to stand in their way, they could only lie on the ground and wail in pain!

They fought their way to the entrance of a large laboratory, where a man with a half-parted hairstyle and a goatee, dressed as a researcher, was hurriedly tidying up the data inside with several assistants.

"Damn it... why did they suddenly break in?! We haven't even had time to collect the experimental data yet..."

"You probably won't have a chance to collect them." Ash's deep voice came from behind. The researcher was shocked and was about to turn around when he found that his body was bound!

In that brief moment of hesitation, everyone else in the room was knocked down!

"Sylanu, a senior researcher employed by Team Rocket... It's worth it to have caught you~" Ash finally smiled after successfully capturing the famous villainous professor from the anime.

Like Dr. Ki Blast who escaped earlier, Syranu is also an important researcher for Team Rocket. The evolutionary energy that gave birth to the red Gyarados at the Lake of Rage was a product of this doctor's research.

In addition to harming ordinary Pokémon, he also has a history of harassing legendary Pokémon. In the Gaiden Raikou Legend, he almost led a group to capture Raikou.

Another little-known fact is that in the opening credits of the Prince of the Sea movie, this guy actually caught Rayquaza!

So this is undoubtedly a big fish; trading him with the Alliance for bounty would be worth at least several dozen dollars.

"You guys, and the three legendary birds... why are you here?!" Having been easily subdued by Ash, Syranu was clearly starting to panic.

The three birds, crammed into the corridor, simultaneously revealed angry expressions, their eyes burning with rage as if they wanted to incinerate the guy completely!

They also remembered Shiranu...it was this guy who forcibly merged them after they were captured!

"Please calm down, he's already been caught, and I promise he'll get the punishment he deserves!" Ash soothed the three birds that were bursting with anger, while secretly instructing Porygon-II to start copying all the data here, and he himself began to read Syranu's memories.

"No wonder I felt so dizzy when I teleported... I ended up in Johto!" Ash quickly got the accurate information.

Their current location is underground in Kaji Town, at Team Rocket's Johto headquarters!

Chapter 238 General Four, can you take a beating?

If we refer to the game, Team Rocket's base should be located below the store in Kaji Town, and its predecessor was said to be an abandoned ninja training ground.

No wonder Ash and his friends encountered so many traps as they swept through the city, and many of them were exactly like the Lure Floor in Fuchsia City Gym!

However, the main base of Johto was completely cut from the anime, and the only related plot left was the nearby Lake of Rage.

After all, it's a location where you can pinpoint the flash... That red Gyarados, which belonged to Lance in the original story and was accelerated by the Evolution Wave, is a must-have for Ash in almost every fanfic he's read~

Of course, that's a story for later. Ash's immediate priority is to take control of the entire base as soon as possible and send out Pokémon to provide support.

Team Rocket undoubtedly launched an attack on Johto as well, with Cassiopeia Town bearing the brunt. If it weren't for the powerful Gym Leader Plumber who was stationed there, the town probably wouldn't have been able to hold out until Ash attacked!

"Wait a minute... Charizard, Lucario, after you leave, go somewhere first..."

Thinking of Uncle Liu, Ash stopped Charizard and Jackal, who were about to leave, and gave them an extra search mission.

Ash had learned about Pine's life; this old man had absolutely no connection to the special episode, and his mental illness was just a mental illness from the original story, which could be easily resolved...

He himself, along with Xiao Mao and Xiao Lan, began to plunder.

Although I didn't run into Sakaki this time, the harvest was definitely plentiful.

Most importantly, of course, are the forced evolution radio waves and energy amplification devices. 3D Dragon II has completely copied the detailed information on these two high-tech devices.
