Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

That's probably it.

This is something that Bishas, ​​who uses Dark Ball, will never understand, and will never be able to do... He will always be a third-rate trainer.

Golden lightning engulfed everything!

The air was ionized, producing a crackling and popping sound.

The ground was plowed up, and charred marks spread everywhere.

The Pokémon that charged ahead fell to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot, their bodies convulsing and unable to battle.

Fortunately, the lightning was too scattered, so death was unlikely.

If this lightning bolt were to concentrate completely, it should be able to vaporize any target directly in front of it.

However, the current objective is to escape.

Therefore, the more the forces are dispersed, the better, as long as the opponent's actions can be stopped.

Furthermore, Pikachu was worried that if it concentrated its power too much, it might hurt Ash, Brock, and Misty.

It could be said that environmental conditions limit Pikachu's ability to disperse its lightning.

After all, Pikachu can't guarantee that it can control its target when it goes all out.

As long as the lightning is dispersed, even if Ash and his friends are accidentally affected, they will only be paralyzed for a moment and will not cause any serious injury.

This is also the most troublesome aspect of real-world combat.

There's no other way but to block friendly fire.

Both wide-range and high-power attacks are therefore limited.

In this respect, Team Rocket and Ash are all the same... especially Brock, who is too restrained.

The entire plaza in front of the Shiruff Company seemed to be bathed in the light of a golden sun; the blinding flashes of electricity momentarily blinded everyone, and the deafening thunder drowned out all other sounds.

The release of this terrifying power attracted everyone's attention.

Including Bishas.

"How is this possible?" Bishas instinctively took a half step back, his face behind the mask filled with horror.

This force... has exceeded his expectations!

"What's impossible?" The Squid King's mocking voice came to his ears.

"This is the hero of the Phoenix King's Rainbow Trial."

"It's fortunate that you didn't intend to kill him, otherwise if he had unleashed his potential around us... I would have had to step in to protect you."

The Squid King could estimate the total amount of lightning Pikachu had just released... If that thing came at full power, even Pikachu might not be able to withstand it.

The energy intensity of this lightning was too high... It reminded it of Mt. Surge.

"But once my existence is exposed..."

"Jie Jie Jie..."

The squid king's laughter was full of malice as it glanced at Alakazam, whose expression wasn't very friendly... The old fox kept watching them.

And enjoying Bishace's misfortunes is also part of its fun.

Although they are allies, their relationship is far from good.

The so-called bond and spiritual connection will never exist between them.

This also means that they will never be able to reach the top of the world, never become a powerful figure... they won't even be able to reach the level of the Four Heavenly Kings.

The scheming and betrayal among members of the Evil Calamity organization can be said to be an unavoidable part of the Evil Calamity faction.

You've already joined the evil faction, wouldn't it be a waste of your time if you don't try this?

funny.

The flash of light lasted for several seconds before slowly dissipating.

Centered on Pikachu, a huge, charred circular area appeared on the ground.

All Team Rocket members and Pokémon within range were scattered and in disarray.

After unleashing this earth-shattering attack, Pikachu seemed to have all its strength drained away, its body went limp, and it collapsed to the ground.

The power of the mind can indeed create miracles.

But similarly, miracles are never just miracles; they are not free or without cost.

If you believe miracles come without a price.

Then the cost must have been paid by someone else.

If physical strength is merely the price for a miracle... then that's far too easy.

Ash reacted quickly and caught the exhausted Pikachu tightly in his arms.

We need to get to the Pokémon Center for treatment as soon as possible.

Just like how humans can cause muscle damage when they use force beyond their physical limits.

The same applies to Pokémon.

The power-up build in the Pokémon world doesn't completely dominate all other builds.

Pokémon that rely on boosting are prone to self-harm.

Strengthening is a must.

However, it cannot be strengthened beyond the limit.

"Let's go!" Xiaogang and Xiaoxia snapped out of their shock and immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Xiao Gang helped the exhausted Misdreavus to her feet, while Xiao Xia warily watched Team Rocket, who were briefly thrown into disarray by the sudden attack.

Without further hesitation, the three burst into their fastest speed, rushing across the area that was temporarily deserted due to the lightning strike, and escaping the Hilluff Company campus.

Bishas looked in the direction where the three had disappeared, then at the mess in the field and the destruction caused by Pikachu. His expression behind the mask was gloomy and uncertain.

He did not order another pursuit, but silently recalled Bangiras, who was also somewhat agitated by the aftershocks of the lightning.

"Roar—" ×2

Gyarados and Onix exchanged a glance.

The giant rock snake began digging a hole into the ground.

Gyarados then flew into the sky.

They chose to flee in different directions.

"Hmph... Interesting." Bishas muttered to himself, his gaze sweeping over Cross, whose expression was distorted by Marshall's influence, before looking into the depths of the Siluf Building. "However, the game has only just begun."

Theoretically, he could now create a large-scale sandstorm to prevent Gyarados from leaving, or use an earthquake to prevent Onix from leaving.

However, neither of these two methods can be used in downtown Goldenrod City.

Once sandstorms are used in the central area of ​​Golden City...

What happens when a top-tier, economically developed city is hit by a sandstorm?

The resulting economic damage will undoubtedly lead to his death.

The entire alliance will issue a kill order.

Similarly, earthquakes cannot be used for this reason.

LOL.

What if the Shiruff Company headquarters building collapses due to the earthquake?

The shares and interests behind the huge corporation, Shiruff, are distributed among many people.

This includes the Golden Dojo.

In short, for the Rockets—stealing is acceptable, but murder and arson are not.

This is a rather abstract point.

Team Rocket's goal is to conquer the world and make money.

What's the point of conquering anything if you've already messed everything up?

How are you going to make money if you mess everything up?

What the Rockets, led by Giovanni, wanted was a complete league, not a league in ruins.

Of all the evil organizations, only Team Rocket is bound by rules.

If you switch to Team Magma, Team Aqua, Team Galaxy, Team Plasma, Team Flare... those guys don't care about the damage they cause to the city or the impact on the economy.

"Hehehe——"

"Hahaha--"

"Interesting, so interesting!"

Bishas laughed maniacally.

More Team Rocket members poured out of the Silph Corporation building, surrounding Bishas and carrying many things in their hands.

"Take everyone away!" Bishas ordered the remaining members.

"Yes, Lord Bishas!" The Team Rocket members began to help their teammates.

"The person is gone. Are you satisfied now?" Bishas looked at Alakazam beside him.

This old fox has been here for a long time. Not only has he been using his superpowers to restrict him, but he has also used telekinesis to block out light and sound, so hardly anyone can see him.

Aside from Bishance, who is communicating with Alakazam, only Squid King can see Alakazam.

The high-level battlefield is always in a state of stalemate, and Alakazam is also preventing Bishas from doing anything out of line.

It's impossible to have 100% confidence in members of an evil organization, right?

What if these guys have a brain fart?

"This is my apprentice~~ What's there to be satisfied or not~~" Alakazam was very satisfied with Ash and Pikachu's performance.

He can see the Squid King and Marshall just as well, but so what?

This wasn't just Sabrina's death order; more importantly, Ash was also her apprentice... She was thinking about expelling him from the school, but she'd talk about that another time.

Therefore, it's impossible for anything to happen to the three of them in Golden City...

In fact, this operation was agreed upon by both sides... The main point is that Team Rocket must take the blame voluntarily, and cannot stand on the shoulders of the Goldenrod Gym.

Was it an expected surprise that Xiaozhi and his two friends ran over?

And on the other side.

“It seems their strength is limited to this level,” Amado said to Cross.

“Next, we’ll set up traps and plans to this extent.” Kosaburo’s eyes darkened slightly.

“…We can gather some of the other members to act together,” Cross thought.

“…” Marshado looked in the direction where Bishas was.

I think it's better if that stinky octopus and stinky fox don't come.

Behind every stinky octopus is a swarm of stinky octopuses.

Behind that stinky fox is a woman of unimaginable power.

Anyway, Marcia planned to tear up the agreement once they were far away.

The author says the following

(...To be honest...I didn't plan to stick to the individual stats route...The protagonist did that at the beginning because it was just the start...)

(In a game, once you've developed your economy, there's still some leeway if your teammates make a bad play once or twice... But in a game, if your teammates feed 5 kills at the start, it's game over... You can't carry them.)

(And then they just pick someone and start talking about bonds... This person's feelings are so cheap...)

(Bonds usually take time to build... or rather, two people are so compatible that they're destined to be together forever.)
