Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

At the same time, Misdreavus's eyes emitted a ghostly blue light, and a dense Ghost-type energy spread out, creating a series of illusions in front of the pursuers—sometimes the ground collapsed, sometimes flames spontaneously ignited, and sometimes multiple clones of Ash and his two companions appeared and fled in different directions.

This definitely worked; many Team Rocket members and their Pokémon got into chaos, colliding with each other and even attacking the illusions.

After all, the more people there are, the more you have to worry about hurting your teammates.

Having more people has its advantages.

Having a large number of people also has its disadvantages.

Ash and his friends can attack freely, but Team Rocket cannot.

Compared to other evil organizations, Team Rocket is far too conventional.

If unnecessary casualties occur during the operation, even Rockets members will have to write self-criticisms and be criticized upon returning.

...Nobody knows what Giovanni's motives were when he came up with this rule.

...In short, the Rockets' rules are actually quite abstract for the Rockets members.

...and these abstract rules do indeed prevent the Rockets' overall image from being too bad.

As an individual, one's bottom line is low.

However, the organization's bottom line is still quite high.

—Never mind how many bad things they did in private.

However, unnecessary destruction is still prohibited when conducting external operations.

But even so.

The enemy still outnumbers us too much.

The illusions and sonic interference of the dream demon have a limited range and cannot cover all directions.

New Pokémon kept breaking through the interference, roaring as they closed in.

Pikachu exerted all its strength, its electric sacs flashing wildly, and electric shocks lashed out like golden whips at the approaching enemies, charring and knocking down several Rattata and Zubat that were charging at the front.

However, it consumes a lot of power, and its attack frequency has slowed down significantly.

Ash didn't release Pidgeotto, Gyarados, or Charmeleon at this point.

We're being ganged up on right now; the important thing is to escape.

Even though Pidgey flies very fast, it's doomed if it gets caught by a large number of Zubats.

Charmeleon won't work either, purely because of strength and compatibility.

The Pokémon known as the starter Pokémon all have the characteristics of rapid evolution and stable strength... but this also means that their strength is not very good before they evolve to their final stage.

Once it evolves into Charizard, its strength will increase dramatically.

Venusaur and Blastoise are the same in this respect.

Gyarados is too big and would be a target.

Other creatures, such as Pidgeotto or Gyarados, could be taken down by concentrated fire.

Pidgey can dodge the attack of one Pokémon, but how can it dodge the ultrasonic waves of dozens of Zubats?

This is enough to cover the entire surrounding empty sky.

You don't have to worry about accidentally hitting friendly forces when you fire into the air.

The same applies to Gyarados.

With Gyarados being such a large target, Team Rocket doesn't need to worry about accidentally hitting friendly fire.

What's important now is flexibility, and that the three-person target must be small enough.

Therefore, Brock and Misty did not release all their Pokémon to engage in a full-scale battle with Team Rocket.

The more Pokémon you release, the more difficult it becomes to escape.

"Puff puff--"

Xiaoxia sat on the starfish, which kept blowing bubbles.

Although this move isn't very powerful, it can make the ground slippery.

In short, they caused trouble for the pursuing Team Rocket members.

Many times, some tactics seem to be of little use and lack destructive power.

So why were they able to pass it down to posterity?

Of course, it's because it has good functionality.

The three fought and retreated, relying on Misdreavus's interference, Pikachu's electric shock, and Starmie's bubble-blowing to quickly move towards the edge of the Silph Park.

With the street symbolizing freedom just around the corner, hope seemed within reach.

……

-

(While writing, I realized it's similar to another book I wrote about Captain Death's gang fighting... It's easy to hurt friendly forces while fighting.)

(Unofficial, unorthodox organizations don't care, but legitimate organizations do.)

Chapter 141 Hu Di: This is my apprentice, no need to give me face.

"Stop them!" a Rocket team leader shouted. This was a chance to get credit, and Bishce was very generous.

More Pokémon were released by Team Rocket members, surging forward like a tide, trying to completely block Ash and his friends' path.

Arbok's poison needles, Weezing's sludge attack, and countless poisonous gases attacking from all directions form a deadly net.

While running away, Ash, Misty, and Brock were surrounded by a dense barrage of attacks from one direction.

"Damn it... How could this happen!" Xiaoxia was unwilling to accept it, and she even released the Black Seahorse.

"Give it a try." Brock touched the other Poké Balls at his waist.

He decided that once he left this time, he would transfer two more main fighters from the dojo to his body... one was indeed not enough.

Although I have other Pokémon that are not Gym Leader level, there is no need to rush to release them all.

Xiao Gang knew very well that he wanted to see Xiao Zhi gain experience... This was different from Xiao Xia's approach; he was there to support Xiao Zhi and wouldn't go all out unless necessary.

Pikachu stood panting at Ash's feet, its golden fur somewhat dull from the excessive exertion of its strength.

But it still stubbornly stared at the enemy, the faint electric sparks on its electric sac showing its indomitable will.

Ash lowered his head, and his gaze met Pikachu's in mid-air.

At that moment, no words were needed.

The journey that began in Pallet Town, the shared trials and tribulations, laughter and triumphs, all the bonds and trust, surged and resonated in each other's hearts like boiling magma in this life-or-death moment, reaching an unprecedented peak... This is what bonds are!

It's now.

A resolute glint flashed in Xiao Zhi's eyes, and the system interface appeared before him... Although this cheat didn't usually have much of a presence, it was still very useful.

Now is the time.

—System, use an item to enhance the Electric Orb on Pikachu!

—In the item inventory, [Item Enhancement] was dragged onto [Electric Bead LV30] on Pikachu.

The system interface appears to be just two icons dragged together, nothing special.

And in reality.

Om-!

Pikachu's body jolted violently.

An unprecedented, vast, ocean-like surge of electricity, like an ancient behemoth awakening, erupted within Pikachu's tiny body!

Pikachu is now level 35.

He started out as the lowest-ranking person, but now he's the highest-ranking.

However, Pikachu has been wondering why its power is increasing more slowly.

He also asked Hudi at the time.

—Hudi: The improvement of strength will become slower and slower, which is normal.

—Pikachu: I see, I trust the smart ones!

Neither Pikachu nor Alakazam can quantify their levels, so it's normal for them to see their strength increasing at a slower pace.

And now, this force that had been slowing down suddenly burst forth.

[Electric Bead LV30→LV60]

However, although the level cap has been raised to LV60, the bonus from the electric orb can only be used up to LV35.

After all, Pikachu's level is only LV35... haha.

"Pikachu..." Pikachu felt the terrifying power that had suddenly surged within its body.

It looked up at Xiaozhi.

—Pikachu: What is this Phowa?

— Xiao Zhi was also looking at it, his eyes filled with absolute trust.

—Ash: This is a symbol of our friendship!

—Pikachu: I see.

Ash: Here we go!

The training of psychic abilities allowed Ash and Pikachu to communicate telepathically.

That's eye contact!

Ash and Pikachu: This is our exhilarating fusion move!

[Super 100,000 Volts!]

"……mound!!!!!!"

next moment.

The power that had been accumulated to its limit could no longer be contained.

Pikachu used all its strength to unleash the loudest and most earth-shattering roar of its life!

Rumble——! ! !

What appeared was a giant pillar of electric light, over a meter in diameter, as solid as if it were cast in gold.

Centered on Pikachu, it exploded and spread wildly in all directions like a destructive energy storm!

The scattered electric shocks transformed into countless tiny electric snakes.

That was the purest and most extreme form of thunderous fury.

This is not just an extra enhancement granted by the system's power.

This is also Pikachu's fearless spirit under the bond.

Pikachu remembered Alakazam's words—

[Hu Di: ...Then think about it carefully and keep reinforcing this idea.]

[Hudi: Faith will guide you to create miracles.]

The moment that memory resurfaced.

Pikachu thought he understood!

Pikachu: I see!

Pikachu: So this is what power is!

Although there are some issues with the husband's upbringing.

However, the highest level a trainer can achieve is when the Pokémon and the trainer are of one mind and trust each other.

The belief and will that transcend reality—that's what the top trainers and Pokémon do.

Lucky hit?
