I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 724 Team Rocket Makes its Debut

A few minutes later,

"Hoo hoo hoo~~ Do you submit?"

"Snoring! Snoreing!"

The boar with tusks, which Ash was sitting on, grunted loudly, expressing its indomitable spirit.

Give me liberty or give me death!
Ash waved his fist, taking away the boar's dissatisfaction.

Better to live a wretched life than to die a good death
"Is that all it takes to subdue them?"

Pikachu looked thoughtfully at Ash riding on the back of the wild boar.

With a solid foundation in combat, its strength, speed, and resilience are all commendable among dog-level fighters. In addition, it possesses all five attributes, making it a perfect "power bank" for its users.

First, she encountered humans from the Sea Kingdom who had cheated on her, and barely escaped with her life; then she was sealed by the great Onmyoji Seimei, and could only remain in this extremely weak state. Now, her luck has finally turned around.

"Very good, then next we will practice climbing trees and wading through water."

"Huh? Isn't that a high school course?"

Riding on the wild boar, Ash looked shocked. Climbing trees and walking on water are considered basic skills for superhumans; even in this superhuman era, they don't learn them until high school.

Aside from Academy City, where everyone is extraordinary, very few high school students elsewhere can do this, let alone Ash, a rural elementary school student.

"Since your spiritual power and physique have already met the standards, why wait until later?"

Pikachu didn't want to waste time; this body was too weak.

"Come here, let me explain the techniques and precautions to you first, and then we'll start exercising!"

"good,"

After dismounting from the wild boar's back, Ash enthusiastically threw himself into practice.

However, he was soon tortured by 'reality':
"Idiot, you can't even do something this simple?"

Pikachu jumped up and slapped Ash on the head as he lay on the ground, looking utterly disappointed.

"Climbing a tree is something even a monkey can do!"

"Gather spiritual energy at your feet—"

"Sorry, sorry~~"

Ash, who had fallen from the tree, scratched his head and apologized. One dared to teach, and the other dared to learn; neither of them felt there was anything wrong with it.

In Pikachu's view, climbing trees using spiritual power is something that is truly "innate"; however, most human superhumans need a period of time to master it: Ash's progress can already be described as genius, but neither of them has this understanding.

? ?
Watching the 'interaction' between the human and the beast, the tusked wild boar with white bone armor next to them was confused.

Although it was an extraordinary creature, its intelligence was only slightly better than that of an ordinary wild boar. Seeing that there was no danger and it couldn't understand, it simply:

Huff, huff...
They started using their snouts to dig through the soil and pick out the roots and stems of the shrubs to chew on.

When in doubt, start eating!

Time passed quickly, and a few hours later...

"Ha, ha, ha~~"

"I succeeded!!"

Finally, Ash climbed up the tree trunk and onto the branch, raising his hands in celebration.

"Too slow,"

Pikachu, having easily climbed up the tree trunk, shook its head in disappointment.

"With this kind of power, when will you be able to help, cough, help this world?"

A plan has been devised to nurture the power of this human brat 'Kichi', and then absorb his power to break through his own seal. Pikachu can't wait for the other to reach Wolf level in the next second, so that he can regain his power more quickly.

"Take your time, Pikachu."

"Saving the world isn't something that can be rushed. Hmm?"

Standing high up, one can see far, so Ash spotted a ground effect vehicle speeding towards them, skimming close to the road.

"How dare someone pass by alone?"

In this era, leaving areas inhabited by humans means encountering evil spirits, various rare beasts, and even, if you're unlucky, extraordinary wanted criminals hiding in the wild. In short, the wilderness is very dangerous, and most transport convoys must travel in groups.

"Aren't you all alone too?"

Pikachu, after making a sarcastic remark, sat down on a tree branch and started pretending to be a 'newbie'.

However, just because they didn't want to cause trouble didn't mean trouble wouldn't come knocking: the ground effect vehicle speeding along the highway suddenly began to slow down, and its four tilting rotors changed direction.
Like an Osprey transport plane, it landed beside the road amidst gusts of wind.

?

"Young man, you're quite capable to travel alone in a foreign land."

The cabin of the small ground effect vehicle opened, and a tall woman with long hair gracefully jumped out, her gaze sweeping over Ash standing on a tree branch; Pikachu beside him; and the wild boar under the tree, which had stopped eating and had its back to the tree's markings.

"The Hanakain family? Or the Isoya family?"

The woman had long hair, blue eyes, green earrings, a white top with a red 'R' on it, a white bodycon mini skirt, and black over-the-knee boots.

To be fair, she is a beauty; however, her attire is reminiscent of that of a 'special organization'.

"Neither,"

Upon hearing the question, Xiao Zhi answered honestly.

"I am Ash from Pallet Town, and I am training to become a Trainer."

"Huh, really?"

The tall woman with long hair turned her head to look at her companion:

"Indeed, we're not far from Pallet Town. Looks like we're in luck."

Another young man, wearing a white shirt with the letter 'R' on the chest and white trousers, spoke up. Even with his 'traditional' middle-part hairstyle, he was still considered handsome.

Unfortunately, as mentioned before, their 'special organization' attire immediately made people want to keep their distance.

"Little brat,"

The middle-parted man, who also jumped off the aircraft, simply raised his hand and spread it out in the distance.

"Could you 'give' us the rare beasts around you?"

"do not want!"

Xiao Zhi refused without even thinking, and:

"Who are you?"

He wanted to take his Pikachu as soon as he arrived?

How can it be!

Hehehe,
Just wait for this sentence.

The two people, a man and a woman who looked to be in their twenties, exchanged a glance and revealed a strange smile.

"Since you've asked so sincerely," "we'll mercifully tell you!"

The two of them spoke back and forth, clearly having rehearsed beforehand.

"To prevent the world from being destroyed;"

"To protect world peace!"

A person stands on one side of the aircraft, a beautiful woman with one hand on her hip and a young man with his arms crossed, striking a pose.

"An evil that embodies love and truth, a lovable and charming villain~~"

"Musashi!"

"Kojiro!"

"We are Team Rocket traveling across the galaxy!"

Ah? ?

Is this human language?
Although I could understand each sentence individually, when put together, it left me completely bewildered.

Such a bizarre scene even made Xiao Zhi, an elementary school student, point to the opposite side:

"Pikachu, are they idiots?"

"Pikachu~~"

Turning its head with a look of 'can't bear to look,' Pikachu suddenly felt that Ash's intelligence was quite high: at least much better than these two inexplicable guys.

"simply put,"

We are a company that recruits powerful or rare beasts;

"An organization that aims to maintain world peace by preventing human destruction of the environment."

Another cat crawled out of the aircraft.

That's right, it was a cat that spoke: standing on its hind legs with its front paws raised, just like a human.

Clearly, this is also an extraordinary creature.

That's it~ Meow~~~~

?

"I understand,"

Xiao Zhi, standing on the tree branch, suddenly realized...

"You are extreme environmentalists!"

Environmental organizations have been a constant presence ever since humanity was fed.

They are divided into fundamentalist environmentalists and environmental advocates: the former believe that the ultimate goal of environmental protection is to protect nature; while the latter believe that the purpose of environmental protection is for human development.

Originally, environmental advocates were the mainstream, and fundamentalist environmentalists were suppressed by various countries and were once called 'extreme environmentalists'.

However, with the appearance of the 'environmental god' Yamata no Orochi, the 'fundamentalist environmentalists' who were originally in a weak position suddenly rose to prominence: they all raised the banner of Yamata no Orochi. Regardless of whether the demon god acknowledged it or not, at least the governments of various countries did not dare to be too tough on these organizations.

Who knows if the giant serpent might suddenly accept these 'believers'?
With the addition of certain extraordinary criminals, these organizations have gradually gained influence.

The two, no, the three people posing with a cat in front of me are clearly members of this organization.

"Young man, we're doing this for the survival of the world!"

The long-haired woman shook her finger; they were the ones on the 'just' side.

"You've probably seen the consequences of letting humans destroy the environment, haven't you, kid?"

However, the recruitment methods involved violence, and the individuals were wanted by the government.

So it's not wrong for him to consider himself a 'villain'.

"Meow, in the name of the Eight Heroes—"

The cat, standing upright and walking, raises its paws to announce:

"Your rare beast is ours now!" ×3
Pikachu lowered its head, covering its entire face with its ears, unwilling to face this scene.

We, the 'Heavenly Clan,' don't need such idiots!! And to think they could steal the title of 'Head of the Eight Heroes' from him is simply outrageous.

"Don't even think about it."

Ash picked up Pikachu and made a firm announcement.

"I will not give Pikachu to you,"

You little brat.
Even if you're so weak you get chased by dogs!

? !
crackling and popping

I almost couldn't resist giving that bastard a shock, I felt like a ball of rage; ever since I got kicked, nothing I've encountered has gone smoothly.

It's all that damned Onmyoji's fault!

When in doubt, Seimei takes the blame.

Qi qi qi

"Necromancy—"

Since they were rejected, the two men and women from the 'special organization' didn't waste any more words.

At the same time, raise your hand, put your thumb in your mouth and bite it:
Arbok!

"Gas bomb!"

As the two men clapped their hands, a giant python over ten meters long and a head the size of a small car were summoned amidst the rising smoke.

"Even if our opponent is a child, we won't hold back!"

"This is a bravely blooming flower of evil!"

Two middle-aged, immature men and women shouted shameful slogans and pointed at each other.

"on!"

swish swish swish

The giant python, its flying head immediately charged towards the tree where Ash was.

Without power, it's just simple chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur); but with extraordinary power, chuunibyou becomes a deadly attack!
"Wild boar, get out of the way!"

While letting the tusked boar under the big tree escape, Ash picked up Pikachu and ran away, stepping on the tree trunk.

The opponent summoned two extraordinary creatures that looked ferocious, so of course we ran away!
"Stand!"

"In the name of Lord Orochi!"

"To realize the dreams of the Eight Heroes—"

Hearing the chaotic noises behind him, Pikachu, who was being held by Ash, painfully closed its eyes.

Tired, destroy it.
