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

Just as Ash, dressed in Pikachu clothes, was secretly cursing Rayquaza in front of him, Gary and the others finally met their final enemy!

They were two Team Rocket members in special uniforms. One of them, a silver-haired guy, looked cool and serious, while the blond, muscular man next to him looked ferocious.

"Hmph, those guys outside are utterly useless. They actually managed to find this place and even rescue Zapdos and Raikou!" The blond man snorted angrily, his muscles bulging as he clenched his fists.

“They’re no ordinary people!” The silver-haired man shook his head with a grim expression. “The one in the lead is Yukinari Ooki’s grandson; the person next to him is Red Devil’s sister, and the other two are from the Cerulean Gym and Pewter Gym respectively… They’re all hanging around with Red Devil!”

While speaking, he kept a wary eye on the composition of Xiao Mao's group.

The absence of the most crucial figure clearly bothered him.

"They seem to know us quite well," Xiao Shi sneered. "Rockets, state your names!"

"Listen up! We're high-ranking agents from Team Rocket, Pooh and Bashy!" the blond, muscular man roared menacingly. "You bunch of reckless brats, daring to barge in here, you're not getting out of here!"

"You can try... three-wheeled rats!"

Bang!

Gary stomped his foot, and a Dugtrio that had been lying in ambush suddenly burst out of the ground and rammed into the back of the two Team Rocket members!

"A mere trick." A sharp glint flashed in Bash's eyes. Suddenly, a thick steel plate appeared behind him and his companion, completely blocking the Diglett's sneak attack!

Shigeru's questioning was naturally intended to distract the enemy, but Bashu remained vigilant and even prepared countermeasures in advance.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, and countless mechanical tentacles extended from all parts of the secret room, baring their teeth and claws as they reached out to grab at everyone!

"Pikachu!!" *2

However, just as these mechanisms were activated, Ash and Pikachu, who had been lying in ambush on both sides, simultaneously unleashed powerful lightning. The power of 100,000 volts transformed into swords, easily slicing all the tentacles into pieces!

"Arcanine, Extreme Speed!" Knowing that Ash would help deal with the trap, Gary didn't hesitate at all and immediately commanded Arcanine to charge at Bashu!

"Charizard, Flare Blitz!" At the same time, Lila also threw out a Charizard Poké Ball, summoning a soaring Charizard to pounce on the other Pokémon.

"Steelcore, block it!" "Damn it! Skarmory, teach them a lesson!"

Bashu and Pusen immediately sent out Pokémon to defend themselves. Iron Serpent and Skarmory, wearing strange devices on their heads, launched a fierce attack, glaring at the group with their scarlet eyes.

"Garcinho (Charizard), Heat Wave!" *2

Shigeru and Lila exchanged a glance and immediately had their partner unleash a fire-type attack that covered the entire area, causing a surge of heat to fill the entire secret room!

The two Steel-type Pokémon that had just appeared could only retreat under the relentless onslaught.

As Team Rocket agents, Bass and Pooh are naturally much stronger than ordinary grunts. However, they lost the initiative and all the Pokémon they had were countered, so they were powerless to resist the attack of two versatile trainers!

Even though their weapons were all amplified by rage devices, they couldn't avoid being defeated one after another.

"You wretched brats! I'll never forgive you... Waaah!!" Seeing the Skarmory easily defeated, Pusen flew into a rage and tried to pounce on Lila.

But before he could even move, the Thunder God behind Lila suddenly unleashed a bolt of lightning, scorching him black all over.

At the same time, Zapdos behind Gary followed suit, using a powerful electric current to knock Bashu, who was clearly plotting something, unconscious, and unable to even move a finger!

"Zetzart, well done! That's revenge, right?" Gary said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lei Gong." Lila turned around and smiled, and he returned a gentle expression.

"Team Rocket, your plot has completely failed!" Gary stood in front of the two, looking down at them, and said, "Zetzart and Raikou are saved, next up is Rayquaza!"

"Heh...you really think it will be like this?" Bashu forced a cold laugh, then suddenly screamed in an extremely shrill voice, "Rage Device, overload activation!!"

Click! !

In the prison in front of everyone, a thick bolt of lightning suddenly struck Lie Kongzuo. The once dormant dragon trembled and then began to struggle violently!

Suddenly, the entire prison began to rumble!

"How is that possible?" Xiao Mao frowned deeply. "We clearly..."

"Hmph, did you really think we were unprepared for your intrusion?" Bash sneered smugly. "We've known for a long time that the Red Demons are adept at hacking our networks, which is why Rayquaza's prison uses a system completely independent of the base."

"Also, you're very good at restricting the enemy's movements, right...? We already modified Rayquaza's imprisonment system to be activated by sound, and you absolutely cannot stop it!"

"Damn it!" Xiao Mao cursed under his breath, but neither Xiao Zhi on the scene nor Xiao Lan outside could stop the system from activating.

"Roar!!" With a startling roar, Liekongzuo suddenly opened his pair of murderous red eyes!

"Hahaha, it worked!" Pusen burst into laughter upon seeing this. "Go and destroy, Rayquaza! Destroy everything that gets in your way!!"

"You're finished!" Bashu sneered in quick succession. "Rayquaza's Wrath Device is buried deep within its flesh and blood; there's no way to remove it! It won't stop operating until its life force is exhausted... and the more you attack, the more its power of rage will be unleashed!!"

"These were originally weapons we used to deal with the Dragon Sanctuary and the Dragon Crossing, but for now, we'll use you as an appetizer! Hahahaha!!"

Boom!

The violent explosion swallowed Pusen's sneer. With the power amplified by his anger, Rayquaza shattered the cage around him with overwhelming force.

Its enormous head scanned the surroundings and quickly locked onto Xiao Mao and the others in front of it!

"Roar!" With a furious roar, terrifying dragon-shaped energy erupted forth...

hum!

Just then, Mewtwo, who had been keeping it as a trump card, suddenly appeared and raised his hand to block the surging energy!

"Follow me!" Mewtwo scattered its psychic energy, teleporting away with everyone at the last second.

Boom! !

With a flash of light, Xiao Mao and the others were back in the outside world. But before they could even stand still, the mountain in front of them exploded with a roar, and a green dragon soared into the sky!

"What should we do..." Xiao Mao's palms were sweating. The enraged Rayquaza was completely in a state of utter rage, and if it was allowed to vent its anger like this, he feared...

"What else can we do but stop it, of course?"

As the boy spoke with unwavering conviction, a hand rested on Xiao Mao's shoulder...

Chapter 556 The Trial Resumes, Legends Gather from All Sides

"Ash?" Upon suddenly seeing the boy beside him who had returned to his original appearance, Gary was first taken aback, then his eyes filled with a complex mix of surprise and delight...

Yes, the surprise is that Ash's recovery came at just the right time, which undoubtedly gave everyone a sense of security again.

As for the complexity… all I can say is that the duration of that person's transformation was far too short.

"Hey, what's with that look?" Ash rolled his eyes at his best friend who was giving him the wrong look. "Get ready to battle!"

"Oh!" *N

Ash has that kind of power. Even when the situation is extremely dire, as long as he speaks, all his companions can be inspired!

As everyone knows, Ash is skilled in battle... and is invincible!

"Mr. Ash, you're amazing..." The scene that was being witnessed by Kenta, who had followed along, was naturally also seen by him.

While feeling excited, he also really wanted to join in and fight alongside Ash and the others...

However, Marina grabbed her from the side.

In contrast, the female companion was clearly more self-aware... They couldn't even save the Thunder God, so how could they possibly fight against something even more ferocious than the Thunder God?

"Can you two lend a hand?"

Just as Kenta and Marina were frozen in place, they suddenly discovered that Kasumi and Tsuyoshi had come looking for them.

"The situation is extremely critical. The rampaging Rayquaza could destroy the entire area at any moment," Xiao Gang explained seriously. "We need to head to the surrounding towns to notify the police there to immediately organize the evacuation of residents. Please help us as well!"

“This…no problem, Marina and I will do our best!” Kenta hesitated for a moment, then immediately agreed.

Although he was more inclined to fight, he also knew that he was indeed not strong enough.

Moreover, since even his entourage didn't participate in the battle, it was even less likely that he would be taken along...

"Ash, what should we do next?" On the battlefield high in the sky, as the three primary colors plus Lyra took off together, Gary asked with a serious expression.

"Mewtwo is currently engaged in a fierce battle with Rayquaza. What we need to do is create an encirclement and restrict Rayquaza's movements as much as possible!" Ash solemnly instructed. "Rayquaza is in an extremely violent state. Remember, you must not unleash its unparalleled power. Everyone should focus on defense, protecting yourselves while trying to force it back as much as possible!"

"Got it!" Shigeru responded first, piloting his Aerodactyl, Pidgeot, and other flying Pokémon to occupy a corner of the sky.

Lila and Blue also took their positions one after another, sending out their handy creatures that could fly in various ways, such as Butterfree, Metagross, Hippowdon, and Noctowl... Among them were Latios and Celebi, who were on high alert!

Ash's side also fielded its strongest lineup. Besides Mewtwo, who was entangled with Rayquaza, Latias and Lillie were nervously protecting him on both sides, while Pikachu, Charizard, and Alakazam stood in various places.

Even the flightless Pocket and Luca were carried by Corviknight and Pelipper, poised to take off in the air!

With Zapdos also taking to the air to provide support, and Raikou standing high on the mountain, the airspace where Rayquaza was located was almost completely enveloped by a group of Pokémon!

"Roar... Roar!!" The already irrational Rayquaza seemed to realize something was wrong. After a low roar, it suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a huge amount of energy, like a meteorite, towards Little Blue!

Dragon Star Cluster!!

The high-density dragon-type energy ball exploded in the sky, transforming into countless meteors trailing trails of flame that hurtled away.

If this attack were to be unleashed near the ground, it would absolutely destroy an entire area!

But now, these densely packed energies have only traveled a very short distance before they mysteriously freeze in mid-air.

"Don't even think about it!" It was Mewtwo who made the move. It suddenly clenched its fists, and all the Dragon-type energy exploded into a sky full of dazzling fireworks!

Actually, it was quite easy... Looking at the complex flashing lights and shadows, Ash couldn't help but feel secretly relieved.

This Rayquaza doesn't possess the power of a top-tier god. In terms of strength, it's only slightly stronger than the three idiots from Asia Island, and it's nowhere near the level of Ho-Oh or Lugia, who can use their powers to influence the world.

The problem now is the anger device implanted in it.
