Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

An elite squad leader wearing a Rockets uniform, with seven or eight teammates behind him.

They surrounded Bob in the middle.

"If I had to choose again, I would never join the Rockets!"

"Of course, it's no use saying all this now!"

"I must bear the consequences of my sins!"

"Come out, Rapidash! Arcanine!"

Weakly, Blaine used his left hand to pull out a Poké Ball from his waist and released his two Pokémon.

"Hmph, just because you're a gym leader, you think you're so great?"

The squad leader also took out his Poké Ball and released his Pokémon.

The rest of Team Rocket members also released their respective Pokémon.

The squad leader was using a level 42 Gengar.

The other Team Rocket members used Arbok, Rattata, and Sandslash.

The Pokémon of these team members were all between level 35 and 37.

"The leader has already said that the documents that Xia Bo destroyed have been recovered."

"He's no longer of any use, so there's no need to hold back!"

"Let's go together!"

After the squad leader finished speaking, he immediately commanded his Gengar: "Gengar, use Night Curse!"

The remaining Team Rocket members then directed their respective Pokémon to make their moves.

The members of the Rockets uphold the team's fine traditions and style.

In battles, you attack the player first, then the Pokémon.

Gengar's Night Curse attacked Blaine directly.

Blaine's Arcanine faithfully stood in front of Blaine, taking the hit for him.

However, some energy fluctuations still struck Blaine.

Blaine felt a splitting headache and struggled to cover his head, shouting to Rapidash, "Rapidash, use Flamethrower to retaliate!"

The flames on the Fiery Horse's back grew intensely hot.

With a single breath, it spewed a burst of flame at Gengar.

Gengar was injured by Rapidash's Flamethrower because it couldn't dodge in time.

However, from where the Flame Horse was standing, a Sandslash emerged.

Pangolin used its sharp claws to slash at the fiery horse's soft belly.

In the chaos, Arcanine knocked Sandslash aside, shielding Rapidash from a fatal blow.

Blaine's Rapidash and Arcanine are both level 48.

However, they didn't pull away from Team Rocket's Pokémon by a significant margin.

Moreover, the Rockets team clearly had a significantly larger number of players.

Arcanine blocked Sandslash's attack.

But attacks from other Rattata and Arbok followed.

The decline of Chaper's side was already established from the very beginning.

... ...

Chapter 171: Defeating Team Rocket, the mission is not yet complete.

The Team Rocket members who surrounded Blaine were far superior to Team Magma and Team Aqua in terms of both teamwork and ruthlessness.

Radamanthys unleashed a deadly front tooth, which bit into Arcanine.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Rapidash opened its mouth and spewed out a flame, repelling Rattata.

However, Arcanine was already badly injured.

The Flame Horse isn't much better.

The Rockets' strategy of prioritizing scoring on players was very effective.

They didn't care about anything else; every time they commanded their Pokémon to make a move, they aimed it at Blaine.

Loyal Rapidash and Arcanine can only fight alongside their owners.

At this moment, Xia Bo was covered in sweat.

Although he was protected by Arcanine and Rapidash, he was not attacked by Team Rocket.

However, he was very weak.

As a result, he didn't have the extra energy to command Rapidash and Arcanine after the battle started.

The muscles in Bob's right arm were twitching and undulating, which was quite disgusting.

It looked as if something that didn't belong to his body was trying to break free.

"I cannot die until I have atoned for my sins!"

"Flaming Horse, please...please take care of me."

Blaine struggled to control himself and managed to flip himself onto the fiery horse.

After that, she fainted.

Following Blaine's instructions, the fiery horse attempted to escape.

Unfortunately, the Rockets didn't give him a chance at all.

"Brothers, let's go!"

"Don't let Blaine escape!" Team Rocket's squad leader shouted, quickly ordering Gengar to surround Rapidash's retreating direction.

He unleashed the Night Curse once again.

Rada opened his mouth, revealing his sharp teeth, and launched an attack.

Arbok's snake tail hissed as it extended its venomous fangs forward.

The Pangolin used its sharp claws to burrow into the ground, waiting for its chance to strike.

With another round of concentrated fire, Blaine's two Pokémon are basically doomed.

... ...

Just then, a fast-moving gray-black figure flew through the air.

Haoyan arrived riding his fire-breathing dragon!

Charizard swooped down quickly toward Team Rocket's leader.

As it swooped down, it opened its mouth, and a blazing, distinctly reddish-gold flame hurtled toward the squad leader.

The Rockets' squad leader was shocked; a sudden burst of flame caught him completely off guard.

In the rush, his Gengar floated over and blocked the attack for him.

Gengar has been battling continuously for a long time, and its stamina has reached its limit.

After being hit, he collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up.

Just as the squad leader thought he had dodged the attack and was about to breathe a sigh of relief...

A boy jumped off the fire-breathing dragon and, taking advantage of the height difference, threw a punch.

It hit the Rockets squad leader squarely in the face.

Haoyan's move is a signal.

Three red lights flashed, and three Pokémon appeared on the ground.

"Luca!"

As soon as Lucario landed, it stomped the ground and charged towards the surrounding Rattatas, raising its fist and smashing it down.

"Shauna!"

Although Gardevoir stood still, its attacks were faster than Lucario's.

With his hands placed on his chest, ripples of air immediately spread around him, rapidly invading Arbok's brain.

"Proud! Proud!"

The massive figure of Tyranitar blocked Blaine's path.

Sandslash used Dig to try and burst out from underground, but was blocked by Tyranitar's massive body.

Tyranitar slammed its thick tail down, stunning Sandslash, which was hiding in the ground.

The battle situation changed completely the instant Haoyan landed.

The Team Rocket members standing nearby stared in disbelief at the Pokémon that had been swept away and fallen.

There was also the squad leader, his face covered in blood, struggling on the ground, trying to get up.

Their years of experience with the Rockets taught them something.

If I don't run, the chances of survival are slim.

Immediately, the team members tacitly fled in different directions.

"Want to run?"

Hao Yan's eyes held a hint of coldness as he said in a low voice, "Xiao Long, Xiao Ou, take care of them."

"Luca!"

Lucario made the first move, throwing a Wave Missile at the back of a Team Rocket member.

He then took a heavy step and stepped out.
