I'm a Pokémon Master from School City (by mistake)

However, this restraint is not as obvious as attribute restraint, and it can be quickly eliminated through targeted training.

Therefore, this kind of restraint occupies a very small portion of the Pokémon Trainer's tutorial.

"Ha~ It's that electric rat again." Meowth said with a bit of disdain for Ash, "Looks like the battle will be over soon. That electric rat will probably be too scared to move."

“That’s not necessarily true,” Chiyo denied.

She licked her fingers, then quietly sensed the airflow and said, "Downwind. Looks like these two forgot what I told them to watch out for."

"What's the big deal about this little thing?" Meow Meow said nonchalantly, "Even if Musashi and Kojiro investigate, they still won't be able to beat them."

"Hmph~" Chiyo sneered and didn't say anything more, she just focused her gaze on the battlefield.

The battle is progressing faster than Chiyo had anticipated.

Arboss used its glare, but it wasn't very effective.

Arbok's Caterpie isn't particularly strong against certain creatures, and the Caterpie Ash caught was just timid, not incapable of fighting. Under Ash's command, Arbok used String Shot, the white silk binding it and immobilizing it. Then, James ordered Koffing to unleash a poison gas attack.

however!

The negative consequences of being downwind, as Chiyo had described, immediately became apparent.

Real combat is not a game, nor is it the uneventful atmosphere of a dojo.

Even though the wind wasn't strong, the Koffing bomb, positioned downwind, couldn't carry the poison gas towards Caterpie and Pikachu. Instead, it spread towards Jessie and Kojiro.

Left with no other choice, Kojiro forced the gas bomb to fly towards Pikachu and Caterpie.

"Did you see that?" Chiyo shook her head and pointed at the battle scene, saying to Meowth, "I told you, Ash's Pikachu isn't an ordinary Pikachu; it's been bred. It's a Pokémon with certain battle skills and experience. It might scare Pidgey, but it might not scare Pikachu. Besides, Koffing is a Poison-type Pokémon, and you can tell from its appearance that it's not good at close combat. If it's upwind, the wind will amplify Koffing's effect, and vice versa."

"Just like now, the poison gas from the gas bombs is blown away by the wind and can't get close at all. If Kojiro forces the gas bombs forward, it will only be a waste of their lives!"

"As expected." Ash, being the protagonist, quickly seized upon James's erroneous command and ordered his Pikachu to use Quick Attack.

This is a basic skill that allows you to launch physical attacks, including grabbing, scratching, and ramming, at your opponent at extremely high speed.

As soon as the yellow light passed, the gas bomb was knocked back into Team Rocket by Pikachu like a ball.

At this moment, the poison gas skill of the gas bomb had not yet ended, and a large amount of gas quickly enveloped Team Rocket.

Ash is the kind of player who takes advantage of your weakness to finish you off.

"Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!"

He remembered how Chiyo detonated the gas bomb and defeated Team Rocket through the explosion.

If you don't have a Fire-type Pokémon, it's possible that the Pokémon that can start a fire aren't just Fire-types!

A powerful electric current struck the Rockets.

A scream rang out; the electric arc that pierced the air was the igniter.

The poison gas from the gas bomb is mixed with air by the wind and then ignited by an electric arc.

With a thud, two Rockets players...

They're shouting again~

"What a disgusting feeling!"

What a crushing defeat...

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Rockets' Path to Power

The relationship between villains and heroes is actually quite subtle.

The villain is not just someone who embodies 'evil' and gives the protagonist 'goals' or creates 'obstacles'.

The villain can be another protagonist, complementing the protagonist. In an excellent work, there will always be a well-developed villain.

The same applies to Pokémon.

The Rockets are a fully fleshed-out character.

I liked Ash when I was a child, but I might like Team Rocket when I grow up, because I looked closely at the profiles of Team Rocket.

If we disregard Kojiro's known identity as the heir of a powerful family, could this team be considered a reflection of the working class?

Compared to the main characters, this Team Rocket team is more relatable to viewers.

Therefore, in the dream, Chiyo did not choose to travel with Ash, but instead chose Team Rocket.

Although this Rockets team is not satisfactory.

"You guys are really lucky to be alive."

Chiyo finally found the Team Rocket members who had been blown away. She squatted down in front of them and looked at them curiously, saying, "If it were an ordinary person, they would have been dead long ago from such an explosion."

"You guys are all alright."

"Waaaaah~" The Team Rocket members were so dizzy from the explosion that all they could do was whimper and they were completely unable to answer any of Chiyo's questions.

"Looks like we'll have to give you guys some special training."

Ash's victory over Team Rocket marked his first ever Pokémon Trainer Battle.

Unfortunately, he couldn't be happy at all.

"Pikachu?" Pikachu looked at Ash with a puzzled expression.

"Is it because of that guy?" Xiaoxia immediately saw through Xiaozhi's thoughts and said, "That arrogant guy, even if he has mythical Pokémon or something, he still looks down on people too much."

"Actually, I don't think Chiyo is arrogant at all," Ash said, shaking his head. "It's just that I'm far from that level myself."

As he spoke, Ash flipped through his Pokédex, which was still on the page for that Mythical Pokémon.

To say you're not jealous is to deceive yourself.

He admitted that Chiyo was very talented, but he had always felt that the gap between him and Chiyo was not that big.

After all, Chiyo had traveled for a longer time than him, passing through the Alola region, so it was normal for her to have more experience and be stronger than him.

Can..

But when Chiyo took out the Mythical Pokémon, Ash couldn't stay calm.

If Ash felt he could still catch up with Chiyo if he tried harder without bringing out the Mythical Pokémon, then he's already given up hope.

A Mythical Pokémon! That's a Mythical Pokémon!

They are extremely rare to even see, let alone capture one and make him your partner—it's something that only exists in legends.

The distance between himself and Chiyo was so great that Ash felt a little suffocated.

We're about the same age, so why is she so amazing while I'm not?

Even defeating the Rockets didn't bring me any joy.

Thinking about it carefully, the two Rockets players were really stupid. They were defeated twice by the same method. They really didn't feel any sense of victory at all!

"I..." Ash clenched his fist and vowed, "I will definitely defeat Misaka Chiyo! I will gain her approval and become the greatest Pokémon Master!"

At this time, Chiyo was unaware that she had become one of Ash's targets.

She has already taken Team Rocket back to Chrono City and is hiding in Team Rocket's secret base.

It's more accurate to call it an ordinary house than a secret base.

Games are games, animation is animation, and reality is reality.

When anime and games become a part of reality, many real-world problems will emerge.

For example, in the anime and games, Team Rocket doesn't need to consider basic needs like eating, drinking, sleeping, and using the toilet. But in reality, these team members have to consider and solve problems related to food, drink, shelter, and transportation.

Furthermore, since they belong to a criminal gang, simply providing them with funds to solve these problems on their own is not enough; dedicated personnel and facilities are required to address them.

This is to protect the organization, and also to protect the team members themselves.

And this place has a very straightforward name.

safe house.

Safe houses are not fortresses; they are just relatively hidden and look quite ordinary from the outside.

Chiyo crossed her arms and looked at the people in front of her.

None of the five people were wearing Rockets uniforms, but they were all Rockets players.

They should be classified as secret agents.

At this moment, these people looked at Chiyo as if she were facing a formidable enemy.

The information about Chiyo has already been given to Team Rocket by Musashi, Kojiro, and Meowth.

Trainers who possess Mythical Pokémon and one or more Boss-level Pokémon.

This is truly a devastating threat to the Team Rocket branch in Changqing City, and cannot be taken lightly.

"Um..." a Team Rocket member mustered his courage and said, "If you want to join Team Rocket, your Boss-level and Mythical Pokémon must both be..."

"What do you demand?" Chiyo said with her arms crossed and an unfriendly expression, "Hand it over to you?"

“Uh…” Another Team Rocket member swallowed hard. He understood what Chiyo meant and knew that this was absolutely impossible.

But this was one of the orders given from above; I knew it was a test, but...

"If I survive, I'll quit the Rockets, go back to my hometown, and get married."

The Rockets member, forcing a smile, said, "Yes... well... if... you want to join..."

"Huh?" Chiyo's voice was even colder as she said, "Your Team Rocket are nothing but my defeated opponents, whether in the Alola region or your home base in the Kanto region."

"Why don't you go and find out how they dealt with you and that gang of thugs in the Alola region!"

"Who gave you the courage to have the illusion that I want to join Team Rocket?"

"Fish Leong?! You're going to give me my Mythical Pokémon and all my Pokémon to you?"

Chiyo threatened, "Are you planning to become the next Skull Team?"

Chiyo didn't escape from the Alola region!

He had a grudge against Team Skull after he caught a few boss-level Pokémon.

Those people sent out their elite troops to fight Chiyo in order to seize their leader-level Pokémon.

And then there was nothing more.

In this two-year tug-of-war, Chiyo rose rapidly and utterly defeated the Skull Team.

Most people may not know what's happening in the Alora region.

However, Team Rocket, with its foothold in the Alola region and a certain degree of infiltration, is certainly aware of this.

"No...that..." the Rockets member said, sounding very frustrated, "It's just..."

“No, there’s no such thing,” Chiyo said. “My Pokémon are with Team Rocket, but that doesn’t mean I have to join you.”

"I want to make Meow Meow stronger, and I don't want his partner to be so weak."

"It has absolutely nothing to do with your Rockets team!"

"They're trying to steal my Pokémon!"

"I wouldn't mind wiping you out!"

Chapter Twenty-Five: Sakaki

Although they are all criminal gangs, there are still many differences between them.

Their organizational forms and the tightness of their organization differ.

Team Skull from the Alola region may seem like a lot of trouble, but in reality, Team Skull is an alliance of losers and rogue trainers.

The reason they fought to the death was because Chiyo captured a more powerful Pokémon.

Another reason is that Chiyo could have completed the island pilgrimage but she disregarded this thing, which hit a nerve with them.

Many of these people joined the Skull Team because they couldn't complete the island pilgrimage, and thus became despondent and resentful, joining the Skull Team.

So when they saw someone stronger than them, who was clearly capable of completing the island pilgrimage, so dismissive of it.

Then they broke down literally.
