Pokémon: A Roundup of Ash's Eight Masters' Peak Battles!

[Daiwu: It's actually quite possible. Kyogre is a race. Although the one with the divine authority has been asleep and can't be fished out, it's possible that other members of the race could indeed be caught!]

[Ardenta: Heh, how low. Daigo, I never expected you, a nobleman of Hoenn, to resort to such despicable means to smear our sea god. You just wait! When Lord Kyogre awakens, the first thing he'll do is flood the Hoenn region!]

[Acerola: Has this guy always been this brave?]

[Ardenta: Just kidding, my boss is Kyogre, the sea god! I'm super brave, okay!]

[Makoto: Our boss said that if Mr. Daigo wants to take on the Ocean Team, our Rockets team is willing to lend a hand. After all, we are a legitimate company that considers the development of the league.]

[Ah Jin: You're making me almost believe that!]

Hoenn, Team Aqua's base.

After seeing the last few lines of comments, Shui Wutong suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

It was as if something was watching us.

Could it be Groudon?

Wait a minute, Groudon can't fly!

"Boom boom boom!"

"Open the door, fellow villager! We're here to bring you warmth from the community."

Water Wutong: Do you think I'm stupid?!

……

In the picture—

With the bait on, cast the line with a deft motion.

Ash cast the hook with Kyogre bait into the lake!

Compared to Ash's speed, Haru was clearly clumsy on her first fishing trip.

It took several casts to finally get the hook out.

Xiaochun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the bait hit the water.

"Xiao Zhi, I didn't know you were such a good fisherman!"

Seeing Ash's skillful movements, Chloe finally spoke.

"There was no other way. When we participated in the Alola Islands Tour, one of the tasks was to fish out the dominant Pokémon on the beach."

"Wow, that's amazing! I'm sure I can catch it, Ash."

"It's mainly because Shui Lian is amazing; I learned everything from her."

Ash brought up the name Lana again.

"Water Lily is amazing, isn't she?"

"Shui Lian is amazing, she's a fishing expert! My bait was given to me by Shui Lian. Xiao Xia also gave me some bait, but that was too precious, so I just kept it at home."

Xiaoxia?

Without a doubt, this is another girl.

……

Guandu, Baiyin Town.

After seeing the content on the light screen.

Xiaoxia's eyes curved into crescent moons.

I never expected that he would actually keep the thing I gave him.

So, Xiaoxia quickly carried Togepi outside the arena, wanting to give Ash a surprise.

She has a specially customized bait for Xia!

But when Xiaoxia approached Xiaozhi with the bait...

The blonde woman who was behaving intimately with Ash gently wiped the ice cream off the corner of Ash's mouth with her hand.

Xiaoxia: ……

I'm the loser!

……

In the picture—

During the period of waiting for the fish to bite.

Ash and Haru chatted quietly like that.

Most of the time, Xiaozhi does the talking, while Xiaochun is a good listener.

Through Ash's narration, Chloe also learned some stories about Misty and Lana.

One was a travel companion on their first trip, and the other was a classmate.

This!

Big crisis!

"Xiaochun, your fishing rod is moving! Quickly lift the rod!"

Ash, who was observing the lake, immediately spoke up.

"Oh, here it comes!"

Xiaochun could only put aside her own thoughts and concentrate on dealing with the fish in the lake.

at the same time.

The Rockets naturally arrived at the lakeside.

During his conversation with Ash, he also learned that there was actually a dominant Water-type Pokémon here.

As a seasoned angler, Kojiro had to cast his line at least a couple of times.

Unfortunately, they arrived too late.

The lake's edge was almost entirely surrounded by groups of anglers.

And just like that, the members of Team Rocket unexpectedly ended up in the area behind Ash.

at the same time.

In a secluded corner.

A woman dressed in professional office attire, with short purple hair, is issuing orders.

"Recently, we have attracted a large number of trainers by spreading the news that there are Totem Pokémon in the scenic area. These trainers who have come from afar are all very strong, and so are their Pokémon."

"In order to realize Boss Giovanni's ideal of creating a new order, our goal this time is to use these powerful Pokémon to contribute to Team Rocket's cause!"

"Don't worry about this operation. I've already arranged for those three rotten apples to go on vacation. We absolutely have no chance of failure this time!"

"Everyone! Do you have confidence?!"

"The Rockets will win!"

"Very good, very energetic!"

"set off!"

Hearing the team members' spirited slogans, Masahiro crossed his arms and adjusted his glasses.

This operation did not involve those three guys with a 100% failure rate.

It's absolutely a sure thing!

Thinking about the aftermath of all those actions back then...

The real bird was furious!

She always ends up cleaning up the messes that the Rockets trio make!

Anyone would be full of resentment!

This time, not only were the three of them absent, but the true bird also specially selected Team Rocket's elite members stationed in the Sinnoh region!

If it were Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), I'd have a hand full of bombs!

With seventeen cards, even a novice wouldn't know how to lose!

But thinking about the success of this mission and the praise from Boss Banmu.

A smile involuntarily appeared on the real bird's face!

[Musashi: ???]

[Code name "Handsome Guy": I never thought that even evil organizations these days are tough to navigate; they even have this practice of ostracizing colleagues.]

[Yu Longdu: Exactly! They're all so unwelcoming to you, why don't you abandon the light and join the darkness... Pshaw! Abandon the darkness and join our alliance!]

[Shiba: You've been exposed! I remember that Aru also infiltrated the Rockets for a while. It's said that if they hadn't closed in any longer, he would have become the top dog in the Johto region!]

[Dragon Ferry: Ahem, let's not dwell on those old stories!]

[Karuno: So, join our Kalos Alliance! I'll make sure you, Musashi, become a superstar just as good as me!]
