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

"Sorry, the transaction can't be terminated... and you can't escape either~" Ash said jokingly into the microphone of his headset, then casually crushed the headset into pieces!

Instantly invading the brain to read memories, Ash simultaneously mobilized his powerful psychic abilities to envelop Misty and Lyra who had come to join him, and vanished from the spot in a flash!

When they reappeared, they were in front of a building located deep in the mountains, with a large "R" hanging above its main entrance.

"Where is this..." Xiaoxia asked, puzzled.

"Team Rocket's backup training base!" Ash's serious voice even trembled with excitement!

He's really struck gold this time!

The Rockets Training School is a training base for training reserve players for the Rockets. Whether it's the main trio or Yamato and Little Three, they all came from this school!

Previously, when the League was reorganizing Kanto, they had been searching for the location of this school. Unexpectedly, it moved to Orange Island and was even spotted by Ash!

This is Team Rocket's cradle and a vital foundation, and Ash just took it all down like that. I wonder if Giovanni will be so angry he'll vomit blood~

Chapter 256 Clearing out the enemy, seizing the opportunity to approach—it was all too easy.

"Oh... so this is where they send radio waves."

After looking around at the entrance of Team Rocket's school for a while, Ash raised his hand and fired a wave missile, which directly destroyed the signal tower near the gate!

Sure enough, the annoying hypnotic waves from before immediately weakened to a minimum, and the effect was immediate.

At the same time, alarms blared throughout the school, and a cacophony of noise filled the air.

The guy who was in charge of contacting the Depo Pirates, Mundo, was an intern at this school. He usually did things like cargo distribution, and today was his first time going on a mission alone.

That's why he always carries headphones with him, so that people at the school can remotely control him.

But the guys here definitely didn't expect Ash to arrive so quickly!

However, on the other hand, the fact that they would send an intern to meet with pirates, and that the mighty Team Rocket would stoop so low as to buy Pokémon from poachers, shows that their influence in Kanto is indeed waning.

"Charizard, Dragonite, blockade the entire school from the air! Shoot down anyone who tries to leave from there!"

Before launching the attack, Ash first sent two of his flying units to control the airspace above the school to ensure that no one could escape in this way.

"Butterfly, Dragonair, go help too!" "Starmie, use your psychic powers to fly up there!"

Seeing this, Lila also sent out her flying Pokémon to help, and Misty also sent Starmie into the air. These three Pokémon, together with Dragonite, each occupied a corner of the sky above the school, while Charizard sat in the center, like a huge, airtight net in the sky!

"Lucario, Alakazam, you two go to the back door and don't let anyone escape!"

Immediately afterwards, Ash sent out his two most trusted dog-types. He had just briefly examined Mundo's memories and knew that the school only had two passages, one in front and one in back, guarded by Aura and Psychic-type generals. Unless the opponent was a Champion-level player, they would not be able to break through!

"I'm only taking Pikachu, Steelix, and Gengar to storm the school building. The rest of the Pokémon are yours... Guard this main entrance, and be careful!!"

Ash gave the two girls his final instructions, handing them over the Poké Balls for Pokémon such as Pokémon Bag, Pinsir, Venusaur, and Blastoise.

"Little Lapras, don't be afraid... This time we only fought the bad guys. You stay here with Baby Dragon and wait for me to come back~"

Ash patted Lapras's head, grabbed the unconscious prisoner Mundo with one hand, kicked open the school gate, and swaggered in!

Bang!

The security system by the door tried to stop Ash, but it was hit by the psychic power surging around Ash first and instantly turned into a pile of scrap metal!

"Damn it!" "Don't even think about causing trouble here!"

"Gengar, go!"

Several menacing security guards approached, but before anyone could react, Ash flicked his wrist and smashed the Poké Ball right into the face of the leader!

As Gengar's chubby body began to wriggle, those few nobodies were instantly defeated!

"Oh no...it really is the Red Demon!" "We absolutely cannot let him in!!"

A large group of reserve members rushed out of the school and barely managed to form a formation in front of the building, which did seem to suggest a sense of shared hatred for the enemy.

Ash merely smiled coldly upon seeing this, casually releasing the heavy ball he had just prepared…

"Steel Snake, come out!"

Bang! !

As if a summoning spell had been cast, a giant Steelix suddenly appeared beneath Ash's feet, lifting him high into the air!

The heavy body of the iron snake caused the ground to shake violently, and many people even lost their footing and fell on the spot!

"Steelcore, go straight ahead! Pikachu, anyone who dares to block your way, unleash a Thunderbolt!"

"Kane!" "Pikachu~"

Both Pokémon roared excitedly at the same time. Steelix tore through the ground with its huge body, carrying Ash as it charged fiercely toward the Team Rocket reserve members who were waiting in the wings!

hum!

Suddenly, bursts of white light erupted ahead; it was the henchmen blocking the way releasing Pokémon—there were about a dozen of them!

But Ash didn't take them seriously at all, and didn't even pause for a moment!

"Gengar, Trick Room!" "Gen~"

With a strange laugh from Gengar, bizarre ripples quickly enveloped the entire open space in front of the school building. The enemy, who was about to charge forward at full speed, suddenly slowed down as if it were stuck, while Steelix's speed instantly took off!

Bang!

Iron Serpent charged into the crowd and ran amok, knocking away a group of trainee soldiers at the front!

"Pikachu!" Pikachu also unleashed streaks of lightning, its Thunderbolt now a guaranteed hit move, so it doesn't matter whether it attacks first or last, the opponent definitely can't dodge it!

Anyone who dares to resist will be targeted by a precision-guided electric arc, and then fall to the ground covered in charred soot!

"In this situation, what should I say... Clear the way, wait for the right moment to approach, it's a piece of cake... right~" Ash suddenly thought of a fitting joke.

The giant serpent charged forward relentlessly, its lightning blades sweeping across the battlefield… This scene was reminiscent of Sasuke's return to Team 7.

Of course, this isn't the Naruto world, and Ash is only facing a bunch of rabble, not as monstrous as the Chrysanthemum Monster!

Therefore, they are destined to lose!

"Steel Serpent, Spiral Ball!" "Click!"

Upon receiving Ash's command, Steelix rapidly spun a section of its body, transforming into a terrifying steel ball that rampaged through the enemy ranks, instantly knocking over the surrounding soldiers!

"Sure enough, it's getting slower and slower..."

Thanks to Gengar's Trick Room, Steelix displayed astonishing mobility, but this also meant that its normal speed had become slower than before.

This is actually a normal phenomenon, and for Steelix, it's not a bad thing.

"Sigh, looks like we need to change the ball soon."

Ash had foreseen that his Steelix was exceptionally talented; although it had already reached a length of thirty meters, it still had room to grow further.

Sure enough, as it continued to devour all sorts of metals and hard rocks, Steelix's height and weight increased further, to the point that it could barely support even a regular heavy ball.

Fortunately, when Ash ordered the item, he contacted a professional Poké Ball craftsman to create a more suitable Super Heavy Ball for Steelix.

Rika will send all these things to the Uchigi Research Institute on Daikan Island for him. He can exchange the ball once it arrives there...

As for the immediate situation, the priority is to deal with these small fry first.

"Help...help me..." "Red Demon, why is this happening...?"

"Why can't you just give us a way to live?!"

Dozens of trainee soldiers, accompanied by various Pokémon, were easily defeated by Ash and his three Pokémon. They had long lost their previous fighting spirit and instead lay on the ground groaning and complaining.

They did nothing wrong, so why were they attacked?

And...why can't we give them a way out?

Honestly, this is definitely the funniest complaint Xiaozhi has ever heard.

A group of guys who were determined to join the den of thieves are here, presenting themselves as victims;

Ash came here to investigate the Lapras poaching case, to fight crime and eliminate Team Rocket, but now he's acting like a perpetrator...

Isn't this interesting?

Chapter 257 He loves Pokémon, so he's a good person?!

With Ash's powerful advance, all the trainee soldiers can only flee in disarray.

They fled quickly toward the two exits, wishing their parents could give them more legs.

"Run! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"Iron Dumbbell, Thought Hammer! Charizard, Flamethrower!"

A small group of soldiers rushed towards the front gate, but were quickly driven back by Lila's powerful attack.

The school's main gate is a key point of defense set up by Xiaozhi; it would be strange if these guys could even break through.

However, a small incident occurred during this process.

Faced with so many enemies, Gyarados became noticeably agitated and even impatiently tried to break away from its defensive formation to cause trouble.

"Gyarados, no..."

"Venusaur, make it behave!!"
