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

"Dare to block my way? Then I'll drag you along too, go ahead, Arbok!" "You go too, Koffing!"

Facing a lone Dragonair, Team Rocket wasn't intimidated at all and released two Pokémon in an attempt to catch it.

In this marine environment, Arbok and Gas Bomb unexpectedly thrived.

Gas bombs with levitation properties move freely in the air, spreading large swaths of poisonous mist, while Arbok can lurk in the sea, occasionally shooting out bursts of venom or poison needles.

Although the Dragonair on Dragonite Island was of a high level, it lacked combat experience and was suppressed by them for a time!

"Great opportunity, meow! Let's catch it too, meow!"

"Don't even think about it! Squirtle, use High Speed ​​Spin!" "Squirtle!"

Just when Team Rocket thought victory was assured, a spinning turtle shell suddenly flew across the sea, knocking out Arbok and Koffing... and then it even cheekily pushed up its sunglasses with its short arms~

Ash was swimming quickly in the sea and soon arrived next to Dragonair.

"Little brat?" "How come his Squirtle is so fierce?!"

Team Rocket was utterly dumbfounded when they recalled their partner who had lost the ability to fight.

In their minds, Ash's Squirtle had only been caught recently, so it shouldn't be very powerful.

"Hmph, since you've asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you," Ash said casually. "To get here as quickly as possible, I had Squirtle use Shell Smash, so of course you're no match for it!"

After the Squirtle family gained the Shell-Breaking ability in Generation VIII, their status underwent a complete transformation.

Especially among all the hatching cuties, Squirtle has the lowest learning level, which gives it the opportunity to unleash its full potential in the early stages, making it impossible to defend against!

"That little brat, how dare he steal our lines!" "That's not the point, we need to retreat!" "Don't forget the loot, meow!"

Seeing that they couldn't gain any advantage over Ash, Team Rocket's trio started to back down. But even at this critical juncture, they still had the unrealistic idea of ​​taking Dragonite away...

"Roar!!" Just then, a terrifying dragon roar suddenly swept across the entire sea!

"Oh no!" Ash exclaimed in alarm. "You guys, release Dragonite right now!"

"Are you kidding me!" "We finally caught it, we're not letting it go!"

Boom! !

Just as Team Rocket was stubbornly refusing to admit defeat, a terrifying wave crashed down like a tidal wave, and following closely behind the wave appeared a gigantic, ferocious-looking Dragonite!

Having just sworn to protect its kind, the giant Dragonite was already enraged when one of its members was kidnapped. Now, recognizing Team Rocket as the same group that had previously attacked it, the giant Dragonite was furious beyond measure and even harbored murderous intent towards Team Rocket!

"That giant Dragonite..." "Why did it follow us?!" "Oh no, meow!"

The Rockets finally realized that something was wrong, but the shadow of the giant Dragonite had already completely enveloped them.

"Squirtle, Dragonair, use Aqua Tail together!!" Just then, Ash suddenly gave the attack command!

"Jenny!" "Waaah!"

Squirtle took the lead, and Dragonair hesitated for a moment before quickly following suit, lashing Team Rocket's Magikarp Submarine with its tail, which was wreathed in giant waves!

"You little brat..." "How could you launch a sneak attack?"

"This feeling is awful (meow)!" *3

A long, half-dead sound came from the sky from Team Rocket, while Ash rolled his eyes in exasperation.

Give me back my sneak attack?

The Rockets should be secretly thrilled!

If we don't knock them out, by this time next year, Ash won't even have a place to visit their graves!

Chapter Thirty-Five: Dragonite, Embracing Something Important!

That said, the true protagonist should still be saved if possible.

Although these three guys are prone to making a fool of themselves, Ash simply can't stand by and watch them get attacked by the giant Dragonite, because of the original story's appeal.

After all, not everyone is like him, possessing the superhuman physique of a true rookie, able to withstand a massive attack from a giant Dragonite without suffering any harm…

Right?

A huge shadow gradually spread, and the surrounding sea began to churn strangely again. Ash turned around with a stiff expression, only to see a colossal creature that was furious beyond measure!

"Um... Dragonite, if you're sober, why don't you stop? It's all over now..."

"Roar!!"

Ash tried to persuade him guiltily, but all he got in return was a terrifying roar!

The giant Dragonite had almost completely lost its mind, and had even begun to gather energy in its mouth!

"Holy crap... Dragonite, stop!!" Ash was so scared that he swore.

They thought that knocking Team Rocket away would be enough, but who would have thought that the power of the ancient Pokémon would be so violent, even making Dragonite so angry that it lost its mind!

Looking at the energy that was about to burst out, Ash really wanted to plunge into the sea, but his body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead!

The seawater around me... no, it was the air around me that became thick and viscous, tightly restricting my movements!

He seemed to be completely locked onto by the giant Dragonite. No matter where he ran or what he did, he was bound to be hit!

Isn't that a pill...?

"Ash, we're here!"

Fortunately, just as the giant Dragonite was about to unleash its ultimate move, Ash finally saw a glimmer of hope!

Brock flew over in a hurry, riding on the back of a Dragonite, and brought Ash's main Pokémon with him!

"Wake it up quickly!!"

"Crunch!" "Pikachu!" "Whoa!!"

Hearing Ash's shout, Pokémon, Pikachu, and Charmeleon simultaneously leaped down from the air and charged towards the giant Dragonite!

High five surprise attack + Iron Tail + Dragon Charge!

The three little ones unleashed their full power in a powerful attack, striking the giant Dragonite squarely on the head. Even with its ancient Pokémon size, it was still unable to avoid staggering.

Dragonite's special move suddenly lost its aim, and the huge energy ball exploded right at its feet, creating a vacuum in the sea in front of Ash!

Boom! !

The terrifying impact created a giant wave tens of meters high. Ash and Squirtle behind him had no way to dodge and could only let the waves throw them high into the air!

However, after venting its anger, the giant Dragonite finally regained its senses and hurriedly asked the other Pokémon to hurry up and save the people!

"Whoosh!" Dragonair shot out like an arrow, its target Ash, wanting to catch him in mid-air.

But when it got closer, the same thing happened again, because its body was too slippery and it couldn't get close to Ash!

"Whoosh...whoosh!" Watching Ash plummeting downwards, the anxious Hakuron seemed to have figured something out.

Its eyes narrowed, and it flew resolutely toward Ash again, its body even emitting a dazzling white light as it flew!

"Whoosh!" When the light faded, what appeared before everyone was a Dragonite flying at full speed!

It swooped down with incredible speed, speeding forward close to the sea level, and finally caught up with Ash at the last moment, holding him tightly in its arms!

"Woo..."

Hearing Dragonite's concerned cry, Ash couldn't help but smile with relief.

Actually, Xiaozhi was no longer worried when Xiaogang brought Xiaodai and the others.

Because he believes in his Pokémon, as long as they are with him, no matter what difficulties they face, they will definitely find a solution!

However, the fact that Dragonair would choose to evolve in order to save him was definitely a pleasant surprise.

"Dragonite, thank you... thank you for evolving for me."

"Woo~" Dragonite cried out happily and hugged Ash even tighter.

As for the Squirtle and the other Pokémon that were thrown into the air, they were all rescued by the giant Dragonite and its herd, and fortunately no one was injured...

Perhaps, apart from the Rocket Team, which is currently accelerating in the Armstrong Rotation and flying in the jet Armstrong?

The incident finally subsided, and the group had just returned to Dragonite Island when Ash collapsed onto the ground, too exhausted to get up again.

Holy crap...that's terrifying!

"Woo!" At this moment, the newly evolved Dragonite came over and hugged Ash tightly.

"The reason Dragonite evolved four limbs is to embrace things that are important to it, and it seems that's indeed the case," Brock said with a smile. "This Dragonite really likes you."

“I like it very much too, but there are some things I need to make clear beforehand.” After calming down, Ash looked at Dragonite seriously. “Dragonite, I have to tell you the truth… The reason I taught you Dragon Dance in the first place was to gain your approval so that I could catch you.”

"We've been through thick and thin together, and I don't want to hide these things from you, so...would you be willing to be won over by my selfish motives and travel with me?"

"Woo..." Dragonite tilted its head and looked at Ash for a while, then suddenly smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Of course it would!

Whatever the reason, Ash has been teaching it seriously and helping it with special training, and it likes Ash very much. Isn't that enough?

As for Ash's supposed selfish motives, Dragonite thinks it only shows that Ash liked it from the very beginning.

"Thank you, Dragonite!" Ash excitedly pulled out a Poké Ball. "Would you like to accept this?"

"Woo~" Before Ash could throw the Poké Ball, Dragonite came forward and pressed the switch on the Poké Ball with its chubby hand, willingly being captured inside.
