Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

The gym leaders who support Giovanni are actually in a cooperative relationship with him; they simply trust Giovanni as an individual.

Out of respect for Sakaki, we can grant the Rockets some leeway in their operations.

But if any Rockets players dare to be too arrogant, then they should just go to hell.

Especially Naz.

If I fall into Naz's hands and am turned into a doll... that would be worse than death—a life sentence in a dark room where you can't move!

Bishas made a gesture, and the Team Rocket members around him began to back away.

They came along just to make a show of force.

If a fight were to break out, looking at that Onix and Gyarados... the only one qualified to fight here is Bishas.

He was the only senior executive from the Rockets who came.

"Be careful... Partner!" A glint of light flickered in Ash's eyes.

He hadn't used the system achievement he saw for Sabrina [Item Enhancement x1, Effect: Enhances the performance of items].

Ash originally planned to choose a good time to make Pikachu more confident.

Now it seems this is the opportunity.

I wonder how many levels I can upgrade the [Light Bead LV30] to?

"Pikachu!" Pikachu leaped in front of Ash, its Electric Sac radiating electricity.

“Mah-mah—” The dream demon floated in mid-air, its ghostly energy fluctuating violently.

……

……

(I've included pictures; otherwise, I'd run out of words in the main text.)

Chapter 140: Team Rocket, Too Formal.

Theoretically speaking, as the most developed city in the entire Kanto region, Kōjin City should have such poor security.

But the reality is that it's a makeshift operation, and everyone used to rely too much on Nazi.

Even the Shiruff Company is the same.

Because of Naz's presence, everyone lowered their guard regarding security.

Now, Naz suddenly skips work.

A smart person would know that they need to fix the mistakes that have been made in the past.

But it's not something that can be made up for so quickly, so the Rockets seized the opportunity.

The night sky over Golden City was like a slowly descending deep blue velvet cloth, enveloping the headquarters of the Shiruff Corporation in a somber atmosphere.

This is an unexpected situation for Golden City and Siluf Corporation.

But for the Rockets, this was something they had been planning for a long time.

Team Rocket had been planning to do this since Ash was still in Cerulean City.

The dazzling neon lights of the city shimmered in the distance, yet they couldn't penetrate this area isolated by an invisible force field.

Siluf Corporation is not just a single building, but also an entire industrial park surrounding it.

There are generally not many people who come to the company.

The sweet, fishy smell in the air grew stronger, an eerie aura mixed with tension, malice, and lingering superpowers.

This is the smell of danger.

Bishas wore that mask, his eyes flickering behind the red lenses.

He certainly didn't intend to start a full-scale war here, in the heart of Goldenrod City, where Sabrina had just left.

That would be tantamount to courting death.

Bishas's purpose was not for Team Rocket's grand plan, nor for Squid King's ambition, nor for fulfilling Cross's pitiful desire for revenge; it was solely for his own sake.

He was testing Marshadow's behavior, assessing the strength of his new pieces, and paving the way for his real plan.

As for the rainbow feather that Squidward mentioned Ash had, given to him by Giovanni... hehehehe...

Even if you're going to steal, you can't do it so openly.

If I actually manage to steal it, Sakaki will kill me.

Bisharp is currently only the highest-ranking officer of the Rockets, not the leader of the Rockets.

anxious?

He was not in a hurry.

This operation is just a small test of Ash and his friends' abilities.

Whether or not action will ultimately be taken is another matter entirely.

When the risks outweigh the benefits, the action should be stopped.

"Roar--!"

Facing Misty's Gyarados, radiating immense water vapor and oppressive power, and Brock's Onix, which stood guard like a rock fortress, Bishas's lips curled into a cold smile.

No matter what, he is the highest-ranking executive of the Rockets.

Even if their strength is not comparable to the strongest, it is not too bad.

He has the strength of an ordinary gym leader... well... it's hard to say whether he can even beat [Full Power Brock].

After all, truly skilled trainers don't need to join Team Rocket... just like Lt. Surge and Sabrina, who are merely collaborators with Team Rocket.

Bishas raised his hand and took a strangely shaped, jet-black Poké Ball from his chest, then tossed it high into the air—this was a specially made Dark Ball.

"Come out and stretch your legs, Bangiras!"

The dark sphere suddenly opened in mid-air.

What was released was not ordinary white light, but a thick, inky dark energy carrying an ominous aura.

At the energy core, a massive outline rapidly expanded before crashing to the ground!

"Boom!!!"

The ground trembled violently, and cracks spread outward from the point of impact.

A Tyranitar, far larger than its kind, appeared before them, nearly five meters tall, like a small, moving mountain.

Its carapace is an unhealthy dark gray, covered with twisted dark red patterns.

Bangilas's eyes were bloodshot, filled with pure violence and a destructive desire. Saliva dripped from its massive jaws, corroding the ground with a sizzling sound.

The power of the Dark Sphere unleashed its inherent ferocity to the extreme, transforming it into a monster that knew only destruction.

"Bangiras, Stone Attack!"

Bishas's voice trembled with excitement through the mask.

"Gyarados, Hydro Pump!" Misty retorted without backing down.

"Orochi, charge!" Brock calmly gave the order, intending to create an opportunity for the water cannon.

The battle erupted instantly, and its ferocity far exceeded that of ordinary battles!

Bangiras roared.

The ground-type energy around him surged violently, and countless sharp stone pillars the size of millstones burst forth from the ground as if they were alive, with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, covering Gyarados and Onix in a fan shape.

Gyarados's powerful water cannon slammed into the stone pillar, blasting up a cloud of water mist and rubble, but it couldn't completely stop this massive attack.

Many stone pillars slammed into Gyarados's blue scales, producing dull thuds and leaving white marks.

Meanwhile, Onix's self-sacrificing charge clashed squarely with Tyranitar's!

Boom——! ! !

It's like two high-speed trains colliding head-on.

The shockwave, visible to the naked eye, spread out in a ring, blasting some unsuspecting Team Rocket members away.

In the head-on struggle with Dark Tyranitar, Onix's massive rocky body was actually forced backward by the terrifying force, and tiny cracks appeared on its rocky armor.

Finally, amidst a teeth-grinding scraping sound, it was slammed away by Tyranitar's heavy claw, which was imbued with Dark-type energy.

The giant onyx crashed into a patch of greenery in the distance like a kite with a broken string, crushing a clump of shrubs.

Although Bishas is not known for his strength, he is still at the level of an average gym leader.

"Onix!" Xiao Gang couldn't help but clench his fist... If it weren't for the fact that this was the city center, his head would have been smashed to pieces by Bishas.

"No, there's no signal!" Ash said, holding his Pokédex.

He had previously tried to contact outside sources for help.

However, the bright red "No Signal" sign at the top of the screen was exactly as expected.

The other side was well-prepared and completely blocked communications in this area.

It's no wonder that Shiruff Company didn't show any abnormalities.

"Ash, Misty! Let's go!" Brock made a quick decision and grabbed Ash, who was still somewhat unwilling.

"Staying here will only be a burden to them!"

"It might be difficult for Onix and Gyarados to defeat that Tyranitar, but since they want to escape, that Tyranitar can't stop them!"

Xiao Gang saw it clearly.

While Bangalore possesses great strength, speed is not its forte.

Moreover, he seemed to be affected by something, and although his attacks were fierce, they lacked agility.

They lacked rationality, which is the most important factor in high-level combat.

Onix is ​​good at digging, and Gyarados can fly or go underwater. As long as they don't have trainers as clear targets or distractions, they have a high chance of escaping.

In wild battles, the trainer is the biggest weakness.

Simply put, now is not the time to fight to the death.

After all, neither Brock nor Misty could go all out in the city center... In addition to the main force at the Gym Leader level, they also carried other second and third teams of Pokémon.

Good people are often constrained.

Xiaoxia instantly understood Xiaogang's meaning: "Gyarados, cover us! Then find a chance to retreat!"

Gyarados let out a deafening roar.

Surrounded by flowing water, its massive tail swept across with immense force, temporarily forcing back Tyranitar, which was trying to pursue them, and creating a narrow escape route for Ash and his friends.

"Trying to escape? Not so easy!" Bishas sneered, waving his hand to order, "Grab them! Don't let them leave the park!"

Bishas didn't actually intend to fight Xiaogang and Xiaoxia to the death.

No matter what, these two are dojo owners.

This applies even to those who ascend to power through inheritance, rather than through their own abilities.

If these two were forced to stay and fight to the death, Bishas really felt he couldn't win... Besides the Gym Leader's main Pokémon, they must also be carrying other Pokémon.

...So let's send our cannon fodder to the front.

In an instant, dozens of Team Rocket members, like sharks smelling blood, released their Pokémon.

Rattata, Arbok, Weezing, Zubat... all sorts of Pokémon converged into a colorful torrent, roaring as they surged in from all directions, trying to surround the three of them again.

Bisharp still enjoys a high reputation within the Rockets.

Regardless of what he thinks in his heart.

When he gets things done, he usually takes on the difficult tasks himself... anyway, it's no use sending ordinary cannon fodder members.

He would share the benefits with his subordinates... but he was too lazy to keep the less desirable profits, so he would just distribute them directly.

"Dreamlike creatures, piercing sound! Create illusions to distract them!" Ash cried out urgently.

There are too many enemies on the other side; we can't fight them head-on.

"Mah—!!!" Misdreavus floated in mid-air, emitting a sharp shriek that could pierce eardrums. The invisible sound waves pierced into the minds of the Pokémon and Team Rocket members like sharp thorns, causing them to freeze in their tracks for a moment.
