The dream of becoming a Pokémon master

84. Outwitting and outmaneuvering the Rockets

"I wonder if things will go smoothly for them, meow." Meow complained, arms crossed, atop a large rock. "Given their past record, I wonder if we can rely on them, meow."

"Since you're so determined to ramble on!" Musashi suddenly appeared!

"We'll mercifully tell you!" Kojiro followed closely behind!

"To prevent the world from being destroyed!"

"To protect world peace!"

"Evil that embodies love and truth!"

"A cute and charming villain!"

"Musashi!" "Kojiro!"

"We are Team Rocket, blasting off at the speed of light!"

"White Hole, a white tomorrow awaits us!"

Seeing these two still reciting their entrance lines at this crucial moment, Meow Meow pulled out a small plastic hammer from somewhere and hit the two clueless companions on the head.

"I'll attack! I'll attack! All that nonsense is useless! Have you guys even planted the bombs, meow?!"

Musashi snatched the toy hammer from Meow Meow's hand: "What are you doing?!"

With a single blow, Meow Meow was smashed into the rock!

Even Kyosuke, who was secretly observing from the side, couldn't help but be shocked. To create a steel-like effect with plastic, this woman was no ordinary person!

"Of course we've planted the bomb," Musashi said, tossing the toy in his hand.

Kojiro also opened his arms: "If we blow up the rock formations in this area, we'll definitely be able to find the hidden Pokémon fossils."

Hearing the Rockets' conversation, Xiaoxia exclaimed urgently, "They want to blow up Big Fool's Valley with explosives!"

"If that's really the case, the people digging down there will be in danger!" Xiao Gang quickly added.

"I'll go stop them!" Ash said to Misty and Brock. "Misty and Brock, you two quickly tell everyone to run away!"

"I'll go with you, Satoshi!" Kyosuke also expressed his willingness!

"Pikachu!"

"Got it!" Xiaoxia and Xiaogang replied, and quickly ran down into the canyon.

When Ash and Pikachu arrived at the mountaintop, Meowth was holding a lighter in one hand and the fuse in the other.

"Now, all the Pokémon fossils are ours, meow."

"Stop!" Ash shouted quickly.

"It's you little brat again, and little brat number two! But you're still too late."

Looking in that direction, sure enough, the fuse was already lit!

"Dream on!" Ash pulled out a Poké Ball!

"Squirtle, I choose you!"

"Jenny, Jelly!"

Suddenly, a bald man appeared from the crowd! A blue Squirtle appeared!

"Hurry, Squirtle, put out the fire on the fuse!" Ash quickly gave the command!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

The water gun missed its target on the first try!

Kyosuke felt a pang of sympathy and was about to reach for Frost's Poké Ball when he heard Ash ask, "Kyosuke, do you have any Water-type Pokémon?"

Kyosuke instinctively replied, "No, what's wrong?"

"It's up to Squirtle and me to extinguish the fuse. You have to hold off Team Rocket!"

Trusting Ash, Kyosuke agreed and placed Frost's Poké Ball between Ash and Team Rocket.

But he forgot about Ash's inherent tendency to be a troublemaker.

"You won't get away with this! Arbok, attack!"

"We absolutely cannot let you ruin things! Double gas, protect the fuse!"

Team Rocket quickly dispatched their Pokémon!

Arbok and Koffing have evolved, but that's not enough!

"Poison-type will fight poison-type! Poison Sting, I choose you!"

Nidorino has arrived!

"Arbok, Poison Sting!" "Koffing, Sludge Attack!"

"Poison Sting, avoid it and then use Poison Needle!"

When facing an opponent with a significant level difference, avoidance is the strongest skill!

Poison Sting successfully dodged Arbok and Weezing's special moves, and then used Poison Sting on the two Pokémon!

With just one hit, and even with only half the effect of a poison-type move, Ekans and Weezing clearly consumed a lot of their stamina!

Now that the situation here was easily under control, Kyosuke turned around to check on Ash's side.

"Ash, have you finished things up on your end?"

Wait, where's Ash?

Kyosuke didn't see Ash anywhere!

"Ash! Ash!" Kyosuke shouted loudly!

"I'm here! Squirtle, use Water Gun!"

The sound came from below.

Kyosuke reached the edge of the rock, and Ash actually followed the fuse all the way down to a spot!

Is your Squirtle really a Water-type? You need to practice your aiming! And Team Rocket, why did you make the fuse so long?!

"Now's the time! Ekans/Weezing, run over there!"

Kyosuke quickly turned around, only to find Team Rocket had already slid down the slope with their Pokémon in an attempt to intercept Ash!

"Please come back, Sting! Mai, I'm counting on you!" Kyosuke quickly replaced Sting with Mai and climbed onto Mai's back.

In this not-so-spacious place, the Butterfly Dance is more suitable than the Old Spray!

Riding on the wings, Team Rocket suddenly transformed into a sphere and accelerated their descent, engulfing Ash, Pikachu, and Squirtle in the process!

The enormous, irregularly shaped sphere was also moving irregularly. After a series of "duanhduangduang" sounds, it reached the bottom even faster than Kyosuke. Right in front of it was the fuse that hadn't even been burned yet!

And the bomb was right in front of them!

"Stop it! It's going to explode!" Ash's panicked voice echoed through the mountains.

"Pikachu!"

Kyosuke understood that he couldn't rely on Ash anymore at this point, so he quickly recalled Mai, landed from the height, and summoned Frost on the ground: "Frost, use Ice Beam on the bomb!"

As soon as the frost landed, it immediately began to gather ice-type power!

"I've never seen a Pokémon like this before! And it's so beautiful!"

"This is..." Kojiro began flipping through the cards, "Gladiator, Eevee's special evolution in the Sinnoh region."

"If we catch it and hand it over to Boss Sakaki, we'll definitely get a lot of gold coins, meow!"

Just as the trio was about to begin their plan to capture Glaceon, a bolt of lightning flashed before their eyes.

Even faster than the Frost Beam, Pikachu's Thunderbolt had already hit the explosive!

The scene seemed to freeze for a moment.

Is it because this Pikachu has been spending a lot of time with Ash that it has been influenced to develop the "troublemaker" trait?

Kyosuke suddenly regretted taking back Mai's actions earlier; otherwise, he would still be in the sky right now.

Who knew that as soon as we landed, a teammate Pikachu would use the self-destruct move!

"collapse!"

A burst of light!

The bombs created fissures in the ground, with remarkable effect!

The bombs caused a rockfall on the rock face, with excellent results!

A huge crack appeared in the ground, swallowing up Kyosuke, Ash, Team Rocket, and all the Pokémon!

The rocks on the surrounding mountain walls also shattered, sealing up the newly formed crevice!
