Pokémon from Galar

Finally, left all alone, Mary stretched and left on her own. Although Lillie had brought her here, she still knew the way back, thanks to the Rotom Dex's real-time records.

The Pokémon, having eaten and drunk their fill, strolled around with Marie, planning to do some extra training once they got back. The large beach outside the house was a perfect training ground.

Because she attends Pokémon School during the day, even with independent practice, she can't fully unleash her power to train high-powered moves. Therefore, Marnie shifts some of her training to after-school hours each day.

The Rockets followed the team all the way to a remote area.

Kojiro squinted at Pazu, who was floating in mid-air.

"Hey, Meow, have you seen that big guy? He looks like the evolved form of those two little guys."

"Is that so, meow? But it looks really strong, meow..."

Meow Meow isn't very strong in combat, so it was a bit intimidated when it saw Baloo's three-meter-tall figure.

Musashi, however, let out a sly grin.

"What are you afraid of? We still have Mimikyu! Don't wait any longer! Once we catch that little girl's Pokémon and present it to Boss Giovanni, we'll definitely outshine that damn glasses girl!"

"Hey... are we really going to go? That Pokémon looks really intimidating..."

Although Kojiro, who knows more about Pokémon, doesn't know what kind of Pokémon it is, he can judge the quality of those Pokémon's training. He only has Mimikyu, Scintillans, Meowth, and Wobbuffet as his battle force.

"Huh? What are you talking about, Kojiro! Get your ass up here!"

Musashi raised his leg and kicked Kojiro in the butt, sending him flying out of the bushes where he was hiding. Naturally, the noise did not escape Marie's ears.

Rather, it was Marie, who had been on guard all along, who immediately turned around and looked at the guy who had suddenly appeared. Bal and Ichigo immediately went into a state of alert.

"Who?"

"Since you're so sincere in asking 'Who?'!"

"Then we will mercifully inform you of our great names!"

Watching the comedians suddenly get into character and begin their opening lyrics with great emotion, Mary twitched the corner of her mouth. She had subconsciously opened her mouth earlier and completely forgotten about this part...

"A face as beautiful as a flower, a waist as slender as a willow, a beauty that shames even the moon and flowers, a wicked flower blooming in the illusory world, Musashi!"

"Soaring like a dragon through the clouds, dashing and heroic, Kojiro rebels against the evil apostle in this world of misery!"

"Born from the same lotus, sharing joys and sorrows, the glittering little gold coin is also the evil star of our close companion, meow meow meow!"

"Rockets, here we come!"

"As expected—hiss—! (Reporting!)"

"...Team Rocket? Dark Pulse, Dragon Dance!"

Mary wasn't going to waste any words. That Mimikyu was no pushover, and she couldn't afford to miss the first move, so she directly sent Baloo and Ichigo to make their move.

"What?! You brat! You actually attacked directly! As expected!"

"Hiss—! (It's me again?!)"

Wobbuffet, who had been pushed out by the others in an instant, trembled and activated Mirror Reflection. A psychic light screen appeared, blocking the attack of the Dark Pulse in time.

Then it bounced back aggressively towards I-chan.

"Dodge with a flash of lightning, Suzu uses Hypnosis on Wobbuffet, and Pazu launches a surprise attack!"

"Ee--! (Okay!)"

"Chiru—(Leave it to me~)"

"Roar—! (I understand!)"

This was a first for Mary, so the commander called out everyone's names to avoid confusion. Although the commander might have been a little slow, it was better to be steady at this point.

"MimiQ! Get them out of here, no matter what!"

"Good-Bad Star! Spiked Cannon! Interrupt that Kirlia!"

The five Pokémon moved in succession. Palmon was the fastest, disappearing from the field in an instant and disappearing into another dimension, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

I-chan's attack power wasn't strong to begin with, and even with the evil wave being reflected back at double the power, its actual strength was still so-so. She easily dodged the attack with a flash of lightning.

However, right after it appeared, Mimikyu, relying entirely on its own strength, found Ichigo and a Shadow Ball shot straight towards Ichigo.

Just as Suzu's hypnosis began, Good and Bad Star's attacks came down. The spiked cannons kept attacking. Kojiro didn't intend to deal much damage. He just wanted to interrupt the hypnosis and ensure his side's defense.

"Little Chirp! Air Slash Protector Silky!"

"Gah—! (Give it to me!)"

With its tailwind activated, Little Chick flew almost instantly above Sis-chan, its wings flapping fiercely towards Good and Bad Star, unleashing a barrage of silver-white air blades that intercepted Good and Bad Star's attack in mid-air.

"Chiru—! (Go to sleep!)"

Trusting her trainer, Suzuko focused intently, unleashing her immense mental power upon Wobbuffet.

"As expected... hiss..."

"Wait, meow! Mysterious Guardian Meow! Wobbuffet's Mysterious Guardian Meow!!"

Seeing Wobbuffet getting sleepy, Meowth panicked and frantically shook Wobbuffet's paw, trying to save itself from losing its strongest defender.

P.S.: I never imagined that my first time writing a team battle would be against some of the top players from Team Rocket. However, I think we were a bit overpowered in terms of the number of Pokémon. I'll just treat it as practice. Anyway, Bewear will come out at the end.

Chapter 117 The Battle Interrupted by the Bear-Wearing Character

Having observed the entire situation from the alternate dimension, Balu immediately understood Mari's thoughts after seeing the changes on the battlefield. Balu had also witnessed the scene where Ichigo's attack was deflected.

Although Ichigo is indeed not good at attacking, the fact that it could be so easily deflected shows the strength of that Wobbuffet.

Baloo had no interest in testing the maximum attack that Wobbuffet could withstand. He knew his own output limits, and if the attack was doubled back, none of his team could withstand it unscathed.

So, Balu, who was hiding in the alternate dimension, made his move—

call out--

Balu's massive body suddenly appeared beside Meowth, grinning at the sweating Meowth.

"Hoo—(I can't let you mess this up—)"

"What...what do you want to do, meow..."

The Ghost-type energy gathered by the surprise attack was actively dissipated by Palmo. In order not to disturb the obviously drowsy Wobbuffet next to it, Palmo only carried a little Dragon-type energy and quickly flicked its tail to throw Meowth aside.

A meow that can speak human language is just as rare as Marie who can understand him, but its strength is just as weak as Marie's, who is human. Pazu doesn't have the habit of bullying the weak.

The tail swept Meowth aside and stopped attacking. It just kept a close watch on Wobbuffet and Meowth, and observed Mimikyu fighting with Eevee, so that Suzu's hypnosis would not go wrong.

"Meow—! You bastard! Mimikyu, attack this way!"

"Meow meow—are you alright?!"

Jessie and Kojiro naturally noticed Palmon's surprise attack, but both of their main forces were currently tied up by the brat's Pokémon. With Pokémon far from water, its movement speed couldn't keep up with the flying crow.

Mimikyu was somewhat disobedient and did not respond to Jessie's commands immediately. Its biggest obsession was Pikachu, and since Pikachu was not among its current opponents, Mimikyu was not as obedient or hardworking.

"Musashi—Kojiro—"

Under Baloo's watchful gaze, Meowth had no chance to make a move. Its unpredictable speed had made it hesitant to act, and it could only watch helplessly as Wobbuffet fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing Meowth trembling and Wobbuffet already asleep, Kojiro managed to remain calm and think of a solution, but Jessie couldn't resist rushing to the battlefield between Mimikyu and Eevee, scooping up Mimikyu and tossing it towards Pazu.

"MimiQ! That big guy is yours!"

Seeing Musashi's actions, Mari gently shook her head at Ichigo, who was tilting her head to confirm, signaling her not to attack the other trainer.

"Baru, be careful of the opponent's fairy attribute."

"Roar—! (Got it!)"

Mimikyu is a very rare Pokémon in Galar, and Marnie didn't know if Baloo had any knowledge of it, so she directly pointed out the opponent's type advantage.

"That's despicable! You brat! You actually attacked me from behind! How can you be a student at the Pokémon School like this?!"

While Kojiro was directing Good Bad Star to defend against Little Chirp's attacks, Musashi couldn't help but speak up, uttering what they had been holding back for so long.

"Soo-chan, pay attention to Mimikyu and Meowth's movements, be ready to teleport away at any time, and don't fight head-on. I-chan, stay alert with Quick Attack."

After giving the order again, Mari looked at Ichigo, who had suddenly returned to her side and was ready to attack at any moment, before she had a chance to answer Musashi's question.

"Team Rocket, I remember they're a pretty notorious terrorist organization in the Kanto region, stealing Pokémon, poaching, selling, and conducting illegal research. I never expected to hear the name Team Rocket in Alola. They've been following me all this time, probably trying to steal my Pokémon too."

Although she was mentally mocking these Team Rocket gurus, Marie didn't actually consider them good people or peacemakers. Whether they succeeded or not was another matter, but Marie wasn't going to give them any kind of treatment for thinking about stealing other people's Pokémon all the time.

"Silkie's Illusion Ray harasses Good and Bad Star, Ichigo's Iron Tail entangles Mimikyu, Baloo Chirp, Dragon Dive! Divine Bird Strike!"

"Roar—! (Alright—!)"

"Gah—! (OJBK!)"

The two figures roared excitedly one after the other, immediately abandoning their opponents and suddenly increasing their flight altitude. Dragon-type and Flying-type energies began to boil around the two Pokémon.

Meanwhile, Ichigo and Suzu, who switched at lightning speed, launched an attack the instant their companions were separated, blocking Mimikyu and Good & Bad Star from getting involved.

Irontail, gleaming with silvery-white light, arrived in an instant and slammed into Mimikyu's mallet. Meanwhile, Silky's illusory beam silently arrived, enveloping Good & Bad Star in its dazzling light, which made Good & Bad Star dizzy and confused.

Meanwhile, Balu and Xiaochu in mid-air had their two special moves ready.

"With Sis's psychic support, Ichi's mental power is disengaged!"

"Ee--! (Okay!)"

"Chiru—! (I'm here to help you!)"

Sis-chan split her psychic power into two streams. One stream threw the defenseless Good and Bad Star over, while the other stream landed on I-chan, pulling her body toward herself.

After another clash with Iron Tail, Illumi suddenly unleashed its Psychic power, shoving Mimikyu's light body away like a heavy hammer.

Just after Ichigo and Suzu successfully escaped, the Dragon's Dive and the Divine Bird's Strike crashed down!

Boom! Boom!

Two powerful attacks struck Team Rocket almost simultaneously, unleashing massive amounts of energy upon impact and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Roar—(Little Chick, go check the situation in the sky.)"

"Gah—(I know, you don't need to tell me.)"

The two Pokémon, having just finished their attack, immediately distanced themselves again. Chinchilla ascended into the air to watch the battlefield, while Palm retreated to Marnie's side to prevent his trainer from being attacked.

"Ichi-chan, clean up the soot."

"Ee~ (Okay~)"
