I caught a Pokémon

As all five Pokémon appeared, they approached step by step, surrounding Xia You and the handsome guy.

To flee or to fight?

After a moment's thought, Xia You made up her mind and, without holding back, released all the Pokémon in one go.

Blue light flashed one by one, and when Zapdos and Gyarados appeared at the same time, their aura was in no way inferior to that of the True Bird Matrix members!

Gyarados let out a long roar, its red eyes fixed on Aggron in front of it!

"Zetzart!?" the handsome guy exclaimed in surprise, and not only him, but also Musashi and Kojiro jumped up in fright.

Although they had received orders to eliminate Xia You, that wretched woman, Zhen Niao, never told them that Xia You possessed such a legendary Pokémon!

"That damn watermelon-rind glasses! They're so awful!"

Musashi cursed. In fact, many people within Team Rocket knew that she and Toriyama didn't get along and had disliked each other for a long time.

Seeing this, Kojiro asked in a low voice, "What should we do now?"

"We absolutely cannot let those guys succeed!" Musashi gritted his teeth. "If we really let them complete the mission, we'll be completely useless in front of the boss, and we'll never be able to hold our heads up in front of that woman again!"

"Huh? Are you going to stop them? That's not a good idea, is it?" Kojiro hesitated. "However, they're like us, they belong to Team Rocket. If the boss finds out, he'll definitely not let us off the hook."

"Idiot, who said we were going to deal with them?" Meow Meow said slyly. "We were just following orders. It's just that we accidentally got caught up in dealing with that kid!"

Musashi and Kojiro's eyes lit up: "As expected of you, Meowth, you're still the worst!"

After discussing and making a decision, the trio vanished without a trace.

At this moment, the many Pokémon present were already locked in a fierce battle. Seeing their master being surrounded and attacked, Kirlia, Charmander, and Squirtle no longer cared about Team Rocket and jumped into the fray.

Gyarados lunged at Aggron, Toxicroak entangled Ivysaur, Meowth used its speed advantage to harass Charmander, Tank Skunk attacked Jolteon, and Rhyperior fought two opponents at once, dealing with Squirtle and Kirlia simultaneously!

Meanwhile, Zapdos was entangled by the five opponents' guns and cannons and was temporarily unable to break free.

With Gastly providing backup in the shadows, Xia You remained calm and composed, directing, "Kirlia, go deal with Toxicroak. Ivysaur, you and Squirtle, deal with Rhyperior. Jolteon, stop entangled with Tank Skunk and go find Meowth. As for Charmander, please hold off Tank Skunk for now!"

A series of reshuffling arrangements gradually made the complex situation more reasonable, and in terms of Pokémon's attributes, even if they didn't completely suppress the enemy, they were at least not countered by them.

Taking a moment to glance at Gyarados and Aggron, they were biting and roaring. Both Pokémon were now in a frenzy, and without any command, they were only thinking about tearing their opponent to shreds!

However, Gyarados has only recently evolved and lacks experience, making it somewhat inexperienced and clearly at a disadvantage. Without outside intervention, its defeat is only a matter of time.

Now it seems no wonder the handsome guy ended up like this; those Pokémon from the True Bird Matrix were indeed beyond his capabilities.

Just then, with the whooshing sound of a train, a freight train billowing smoke approached from afar.

Knowing that the opportunity was too good to miss, Xia You said softly, "Ghost, Mr. Handsome is all yours!"

"I understand." Gastly chuckled, emerged from Xia You's shadow, and flew into the handsome man's shadow. Then, the handsome man floated up gently, flew towards the train carriage, and landed steadily on it.

Meanwhile, Goz had been keeping an eye on the situation here, and when he saw the handsome guy board the train, he became anxious.

"Oh no! He's getting away!"

The members of the True Bird Matrix were shocked. Just as they were about to abandon Zapdos and rush toward the train, they suddenly felt a darkness before their eyes. Then, a huge Meow Meow-shaped robot jumped in front of them!

Chapter 53 A Melee

"Who are you? How dare you block our way?!" Goz shouted angrily.

"You're the ones in the way!" Musashi's voice came from inside the Meow Meow robot. "We're going to deal with that kid now. If you know what's good for you, get out of here!"

As she spoke, the robot's upper body began to rotate, and its two enormous robotic cat claws, like blade fans, created a powerful hurricane!

Looking at the machine, Xia You couldn't help but secretly give it a thumbs up.

I really don't know where they got such equipment in such a short time.

"Damn it!" The strong wind blew the hats off the True Bird Matrix members, and because of this delay, they could only watch helplessly as the freight train sped past on the tracks beside them. Goz shouted, "How dare you sabotage the operation? I will report this to the leader!"

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Kojiro looked down at Goz through the glass enclosure. "We're on a mission, for goodness sake. When did we sabotage it?"

Now that things have come to this, no matter how angry Goz is, it's no use. He can only settle for second best and make Xia You his primary target.

However, when his gaze fell on Xia You again, he discovered that after the intense battle, their Pokémon were in a disadvantageous position!

"Squirtle! Use Water Gun! Bulbasaur! Use Razor Leaf!"

The first to break through were Squirtle and Bulbasaur. These two Water and Grass Pokémon could deal four times the damage with each attack when facing Rhyperior, a Ground and Rock type Pokémon!

Despite being a second-stage evolved Rhyperior, its extreme bulk caused it to collapse from exhaustion under the combined attacks of the two Pokémon.

"Tch!" Seeing this, a member of the True Bird Matrix had no choice but to recall it with a Poké Ball.

"Everyone, don't let your guard down! He's all alone! We absolutely cannot lose to him!" Goz shouted encouragingly, but as soon as he finished speaking, another Pokémon fell down.

As a Poison and Fighting type Poison Skullfrog, it only lasted a few rounds before Kirlia used her psychic powers to completely overpower it, leaving it utterly helpless!

These two Pokémon were quickly defeated due to type advantage, but the other three Pokémon were not so easy to deal with.

First up is Meowth. As a Normal-type Pokémon, its type is not particularly unique. However, apart from Fighting-type, no other type can deal it multiple times the damage. Moreover, this rather fat cat has an agility that is completely inconsistent with its appearance. In the field, only Jolteon can keep up with it.

The two Pokémon chased and fought each other, and had long since disappeared to who knows where!

Secondly, there's Tank Skunk, a Poison/Dark type Pokémon that prevents Xia You's Pokémon from dealing any extra damage. In addition, its Stink ability means that every attack is accompanied by a foul stench, making it impossible for other Pokémon to get close!

Finally, there's Goz's Bossdora.

This Pokémon is indeed powerful. Despite being at a type disadvantage against Gyarados, it has gained the upper hand at this moment.

"Aggron! Use Iron Tail!" At Goz's command, Aggron, with its last remaining sanity, swung its tail and struck Gyarados hard on the head!

Gyarados let out a mournful cry, and its massive body instantly collapsed to the ground.

Just as Goz was about to order Bosscodora to press its advantage, the giant Meow Meow robot happened to walk right up to it.

"Watch my stomp!" Meow Meow grinned wickedly, manipulating the robot's legs to lift them up and stomp them down on the ground repeatedly, creating a series of shockwave attacks.

These tremors, however, not only failed to finish off Gyarados, but also caused great damage to Aggron, a Steel/Rock type, knocking it to the ground!

"Idiot! What are you doing! Stop it right now!" Goz shouted urgently, trying to stop him, but was also knocked over by the shockwave.

"We're trying to help you!" Musashi covered her mouth and chuckled. "Don't be ungrateful."

"A great opportunity!"

Seeing Aggron fall down, Xia You's eyes lit up. While recalling Gyarados with a Poké Ball, she shouted to Bulbasaur and Squirtle, who were rushing to help, "Attack quickly!"

The next second, a water gun and a barrage of flying leaf blades hit Boss Dora squarely!

Having succeeded in her attack, Meow Meow, controlling the giant Meow Meow robot, continued walking heavily toward the Tank Skunk.

Tank Skunk's moves are mostly close-range attacks, and with Kirlia's help, Charmander managed to withstand the pressure.

"Tank Skunk, use Bite!"

With a loud command from a member of the True Bird Matrix, the Tank Skunk suddenly accelerated, opened its mouth wide, and bit down hard on the Little Fire Dragon.

Just then, Meowth Robot suddenly walked between the two Pokémon, and Tank Mongoose couldn't stop in time, its head slamming into the robot.

boom! !

The impact was quite severe. The Tank Skunk was not only dizzy, but its prized stench also couldn't penetrate the Meow Meow Robot's interior!

"Hehehehe..." The Rockets trio revealed smug smiles.

By this moment, everyone present finally understood their purpose. Although Xia You was confused and felt a little strange, she didn't care too much.

After all, both groups were enemies to him, and whoever they were, he had to defeat them!

The members of the True Bird Matrix also noticed that Musashi and Kojiro were targeting them at every turn. They frowned and moved closer to Goz.

"Captain, what should we do?"

"Let's retreat for now." Goz stared at Xia You and said in a deep voice, "Compared to that Interpol agent, this person is indeed much stronger. If we continue fighting, we have no chance of winning!"

"But..." one of the team members glanced at the giant cat robot with disgust, and said unwillingly, "What should we do with these two people?"

"We absolutely cannot let them get away with this!" Goz said fiercely. "We'll go back and report to Miss True Bird right now, and we must make sure the leader punishes them severely!"

"Yes!"

The team members recalled their Pokémon and, together with Goz, flashed backward and disappeared from sight.

"Are they really gone?" Watching them leave in a sorry state, Musashi's mood immediately improved, but he still didn't forget the important matter and turned his gaze to Xia You. "Now that's good, finally there are no annoying guys bothering us anymore. Let me show you what we're capable of!"

As it spoke, the giant Meow Meow robot strode forward and charged straight at Xia You.

Chapter 54: Secrets Exposed

Facing the menacing Team Rocket trio, Xia You waved his hand lightly. The next second, his Pokémon concentrated all their power, and a chaotic barrage of moves flew towards Meowth Robot.

"Huh!?"

The constant attacks caused the warning lights in the cockpit to go off the charts. The steel shell could no longer withstand the pressure, and after a violent explosion, Musashi, Kojiro, and Meowth collapsed in the ruins before they could escape.

Blinking in surprise, the trio saw that everyone around them was looking at them with ill intent. They gave an awkward smile and were no longer as arrogant as before.

The wish was so beautiful, but how could reality be so cruel?

Why did things turn so polarized so quickly after such bold pronouncements?

Before they could say anything, a strange wind suddenly blew up, lifting them into the sky, where they gradually shrank until they disappeared into the clouds.

It's finally over...

Xia You let out a long sigh of relief, then looked around. The place was devastated, with wrecked cargo boxes and broken buildings everywhere. The scene was as if a hurricane had struck.

His Pokémon were also injured to varying degrees. Xia You recalled Zapdos and was about to recall the other Pokémon when he saw a white light suddenly emanate from Squirtle's body.

It turns out that it had accumulated enough experience in the battle just now and had begun to evolve!

A few breaths later, Squirtle appeared in front of Xia You in a new form.

Compared to before, its appearance hasn't changed much, except that it has grown fangs in its mouth, has a pair of fluffy ears that look like small wings, and its tail has become the shape of ocean waves.

Xia You took out the Pokédex.

Pokémon Pokédex entry: "Warturd, the turtle Pokémon, Water type, the evolved form of Squirtle. As an evolved form with stronger abilities than Squirtle, Wartortle is not only extremely loyal, but it is also said to live for 10,000 years. Its thick, white furry tail is a symbol of its longevity."

a thousand years?

Good heavens, if you raise one of these, wouldn't you be able to see off his descendants for generations to come?

At this moment, guards were already running over from a distance. Xia You didn't linger. After confirming that the mask was intact, she recalled the Pokémon and left without looking back.

……

In the evening, Xia You went to the Pokémon Center, handed her Pokémon to Nurse Joy to restore its stamina, and then sat down in a corner and took out her phone.

There was a message on my phone from a handsome guy who sent it half an hour ago.

Handsome guy: I've arrived in Golden City. How's the situation where you are?

Xia You: I've safely returned to the Pokémon Center. Team Rocket has been temporarily repelled, but I don't know if they'll come after me again.

Handsome guy: That's amazing! To be able to take on so many people by yourself, you truly deserve to be the man I've chosen. So, how about it? Really, why not consider joining our international police force?

Xia You: Forget it, I don't want this to happen again. How are you feeling?

Handsome guy: I'm lying in a hospital ward right now. Thanks to the doctor's treatment, the wound has been stitched up and I'm basically fine. All that's left is to rest for a while. I'm so grateful to you this time. The doctor just said that it was fortunate that the treatment was timely, otherwise I would have really lost my life there!

Xia You paused, thought for a moment, and then told him that Team Rocket's base was hidden underground in Game City.

Since the Rockets have already taken action against me, I'll just turn around and expose one of their bases as a return gift.

Those officials probably never dreamed that their secret base, which they had cultivated for many years, would be leaked in such a way.

Unexpectedly, the moment the message was successfully sent, the handsome guy called immediately.

As soon as the call connected, he heard the handsome man's deafening shout of surprise.

"Are you sure Team Rocket's base is really hidden there!? Is the intelligence accurate!?"

Even though she couldn't see the handsome man's expression at that moment, Xia You could imagine how shocked he was just from his tone.

Besides his voice, you could also hear a female nurse beside him constantly trying to dissuade him.

"Sir, please don't get so agitated, otherwise the wound could easily reopen..."

After the handsome man had processed the information, Xia You continued, "It's pretty close, but to find out the exact method for entering the underground base, you'll have to send someone to investigate yourself."

After such a long period of contact, the handsome guy believed that Xia You wouldn't joke around on such an important matter.
