Elf Trader: My trump card is the Light/Dark Mantis.

The ensuing battle scene needs no further explanation.

Even the moth that didn't enter the field was mentally devastated!

It originally came out to confront a powerful enemy!

As a result, he was repeatedly killed by Shapiro's Shadow Leap, and was unable to use a single move!

It's just bad luck for A-Ju; perhaps the Shadow Leap's ability to break through attacks will fail when the difference in strength is large enough.

A Celestial-level Pokémon would probably have some resistance...

However, the difference between A-Ju's Pokémon's Gym-level and Elite-level rank isn't that significant...

Therefore, Shadow Leap was perfectly triggered!

This led to A-Ju's utter defeat!

Even Ash's second Celestial Pokémon couldn't be forced out.

The moth couldn't withstand the damage and fainted...

At this moment, the leader of the Scarlet Gym could only sigh helplessly.

These cosmic spirits are truly the darlings of the world!

The intensity of each one is ridiculously high!

Aju originally thought that if he worked hard to train Pokémon, he would eventually stand at the top.

But now the Gym Leader of Fuchsia City has figured it out!

Anyway, let's figure out how to get a Poison-type Space Pokémon first!

In fact, it wasn't just Aju who showed an extremely surprised expression...

At the same time, the three furtive figures hiding on one side of the Scarlet Gym were also greatly shocked.

"Wow, this... this Sabik is too strong!"

"It's even more powerful than that brat's Pikachu!"

"Yeah, meow!"

"We've been following him for a while, and along the way, this Ghost-type Pokémon has easily defeated everything in a single move, Meow!"

"Absolutely invincible, meow!"

That's right, the three figures spying are the Rockets trio.

They were incredibly unlucky!

After being taken to the police station by Rika in Rainbow City, it took considerable effort for him to successfully escape. ...

They tracked him down and found Ash again, only to discover that the Pokémon in Ash's hands were several times stronger!

At this moment, seeing Shabik's formidable strength, the trio all hesitated for a rare moment...

"Should we make a move again this time?"

Kojiro asked the question in a relatively calm manner.

This Pokémon named Sabik is way too strong!

If the three of us were to fight head-on, we would probably be easily defeated just like that gym leader!

The trio wasn't entirely clueless.

At least they were aware that if the gym leader couldn't defeat a Pokémon even with all his strength, then their own situation was even more difficult!

After all, the Rocket Team trio were still relatively new and inexperienced; they couldn't simply invent a powerful machine to defeat Shapiro. Looking at Shapiro now, they felt they had absolutely no chance of winning! "Let's just give up..."

"It's a waste of our energy if we go." Musashi's spirits also sank.

"What a pity! If we gave this Pokémon to Giovanni, our dreams of getting promoted and becoming high-ranking members of Team Rocket would definitely come true, Meowth!!" Meowth anxiously rubbed its paws lightly against the rafters of the Fuchsia Gym. "If we added Pikachu, it would definitely become the boss's most relied-upon person!" Kojiro quickly added!

The core principle of catching Pikachu cannot be easily shaken! "Yes, yes!"

Musashi nodded, his face full of resentment.

The atmosphere among the trio became somber.

"But we don't necessarily have to keep an eye on the little brat!"

"Haven't you heard? All the cosmic spirits actually originated from a mysterious shopkeeper surnamed Jiang!" "How about we temporarily stop chasing that brat?"

"Wouldn't it be better to get a few Pokémon from that shop manager surnamed Jiang?" "We're the Team Rocket professional team!"

"As long as we find the location of Manager Jiang's base, getting some Pokémon will be a piece of cake!" Kojiro suddenly suggested!

The other two companions were stunned!

Yup!

The trio couldn't contain their excitement and fantasies...

Catching Pikachu is much better than catching a Celestial Pokémon!

They are all very capable.

Boss Sakaki will be very satisfied when he gets it!

"Okay, it's decided!"

"I'm going to find that Manager Jiang! The Cosmic Elf, I'm determined to have him!"

Musashi shouted excitedly!

She then quickly covered her mouth...

It seemed to realize that it was still lurking in the Scarlet Gym.

However, Ash and his two friends did not react to this commotion.

But A-Ju glanced thoughtfully in the direction where the three Team Rocket members were hiding...

However, the trio was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation and were still discussing it excitedly.

"After I get the Pokémon, I'm going to keep one for myself. Maybe I can become a Gym Leader or something!"

"I want to recruit a cosmic elf as my little brother too, meow!"

"If there were such a powerful elf... wouldn't they be able to do whatever they wanted...?"

After all, this is still just the original storyline...

The trio didn't have a deep love for Ash; they were only somewhat familiar with him.

Therefore, they will definitely temporarily shift their focus!

Pikachu, you absolutely have to catch it!

But you can improve your own skills first!

While Team Rocket was lost in their daydreams, they didn't notice that Ash and his friends had already excitedly left with the Fuchsia Gym badge...

Afterwards, Aju gave Crobat some medicine, which revitalized it, and then it went to the hiding place of Team Rocket.

That's right, even though Kojiro, Musashi, and Meowth are lying on the roof beam.

But as a ninja, A-Ju easily reached them, almost walking upright, and then spoke coldly.

"Uninvited guests, could you please come out?"

Ah Ju was quite annoyed!

He used his trump card to test the strength of the cosmic spirits...

Someone actually tried to steal the credit and get the information for free!

Tolerable or unbearable!

What's more, he was furious because he was completely outmatched by an elite-level Pokémon like Sabik!

The Rockets trio's expressions changed drastically in an instant!

We've been discovered!

It's over!

Ash, Brock, and Misty walked not far from the gym...

Suddenly, the silly thing turned around thoughtfully.

Did you hear a familiar voice just now?

"It looks like Team Rocket..."

It's like they're saying, "[This feeling is awful!]"

"Pika pika!"

Pikachu nodded in agreement, indicating that it had heard.

However, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang frowned, as they couldn't hear anything at all.

So I made a few comments about Xiaozhi.

"Have you been missing the Rockets lately because you haven't played against them?"
