I caught a Pokémon

Once outside the museum, they discovered that two groups of people were confronting each other not far away!

One group consisted of the Team Rocket trio, whom Xia You and his friends were very familiar with, while the other group, judging from their matching red outfits, were undoubtedly Team Magma!

Strange, how come they're all here? And how did they all end up together?

Before they could get close, they heard Musashi shout, "You lot, hand over that treasure to us!"

With just one sentence, Xia You understood the whole story.

It seems that Team Rocket discovered Team Magma had infiltrated the museum and taken the box. Unaware of what was going on, they assumed it was some kind of treasure and decided to double-cross them!

Fortunately, they were there to hold off Team Lava and prevent them from escaping too far.

only……

Xia You turned her head and looked around, but she couldn't find the figure of the Nanmu Pavilion Master. She didn't know where he had gone.

Before they arrived, the Rockets trio had obviously already introduced themselves to the Magma team. That was good, they were tired of hearing their entrance lines, so this saved them from being tortured again.

Seeing that Xiao Zhi was about to rush over, Xia You quickly grabbed him.

"Wait a minute," he whispered. "If we rush in like this, those guys can easily escape. Let Team Rocket hold them off for now, and while we're at it, you guys go around to the back and block their escape route!"

Under Xia You's command, Xiao Zhi and Xiao Xia split up to the left and right, quietly approaching the group from different paths, while Xiao Sheng followed behind him, slowly approaching the two groups from the front.

Dusk is their greatest camouflage.

Neither Team Rocket nor Team Lava were aware that someone was quietly surrounding them; their attention was completely focused on each other.

This was the first time Xia You had encountered Team Rocket since they followed Ash's footsteps to Hoenn.

Upon arriving in the new region, their Pokémon lineup changed. In addition to Meowth and Wobbuffet, the Pokémon protecting James and Jessie were not the ones they used in Johto. Instead, they were replaced by a Spiky Cactus and a Seviper!

As a Grass-type Pokémon, the Spiny Cactus, just like its name suggests, looks like a walking cactus!

Its body is round, its arms are very strong, it has three dark green diamond patterns on its chest, a yellow flower on its head, and its body is covered with sharp thorns. Its light green color scheme makes it look very healthy.

It is said that this Pokémon generally inhabits dry and arid places and likes harsh environments such as deserts. Although it lives in a desert environment, it lives a carefree life and stores water in its body. It can survive for 30 days without drinking any water.

The yellow flowers on its head bloom only once a year, and they are especially beautiful and fragrant in the harshest and driest environments.

Its thorns are also very sharp, and it is said that they can inadvertently pierce all sorts of things. It uses strong floral fragrance to lure prey, and then shoots out the sharp thorns on its body to kill the prey. It can also fight by waving its arms with thick thorns.

Now look at the rice spoon snake.

It resembles a black snake with a golden lower jaw, golden armor on its head and back, six small golden buttons on its belly, sharp red fangs, and a blade-like tail.

It is said that the mongoose and the mongoose are eternal enemies. Generations of mongooses have fought against the agile mongoose, and the scars on its body are the marks of fierce battles. It is meticulous in nature, and its blade is not only sharp but also oozes deadly poison, making it extremely dangerous. It hides in the grass and attacks its prey with its venomous fangs when it gets close. Then, it cuts its enemy with its blade-like tail while spraying the deadly poison onto its opponent!

To be honest, it looks rather ugly and doesn't fit Xia You's aesthetic at all. Only a woman like Musashi would like such a snake-like Pokémon!

Chapter 644 The Great Box Snatching Battle

Looking at the Pokémon of Team Magma, they all have the same Mightyena.

However, despite being just standard Pokémon, Team Rocket's trio were at a disadvantage when they actually clashed.

All I can say is that their strength remains as stable as ever. Even though these intruding Lava Team members don't have any officers, just a few elite members, for some reason, they just can't beat them!

Even with the 'God of Fruits' present, they were quickly outmatched!

Under the command of Musashi and Kojiro, the Scyther and Gyrocopter launched attacks using moves such as Poison Tail, Bite, Pin Missile, and Spiky Arm. However, the Mightyenas of Team Magma were stronger and blocked these attacks with just Tackle and Shadow Clone. They then launched a counterattack and defeated the Scyther and Gyrocopter in a single exchange.

The two Pokémon slammed backward, crashing into the Rocket Trio and sending them hurtling into the ocean behind them…

In the blink of an eye, the group was completely submerged by the sea and disappeared from sight, leaving only their screams echoing on the sea.

It's still as disappointing as ever...

It seems the Rockets have never disappointed when it comes to being disappointing!

However, although their strength was so poor and it wasn't their intention, the Team Rocket trio still gave Xia You and his friends some time to get close to Team Magma!

Sure enough, the Lava Team members dealt with these guys who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and were about to leave when they suddenly noticed a boy and a girl, two young children, appearing on either side!

This made them frown. Even without asking, they knew that these two were obviously coming for them!

"Stop right there!" Ash shouted at Team Magma. "Leave the box behind! And what did you do to Gym Leader Suzuki!?"

In fact, this wasn't Ash's first encounter with Team Magma. Some time ago, he had already fought against Team Magma and Team Aqua, so he was quite familiar with them and roughly knew what their intentions were.

The leader of Team Magma was a male member. He glanced at Ash and Misty but didn't answer. Instead, he planned to leave.

But just as he was about to take a step, he saw another man walking towards him with a little boy wearing glasses.

"Tch." He snorted coldly, displeased. "Showing up one by one, you guys are really troublesome!"

Just as Xia You was about to speak, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw the vanished Nanmu Pavilion Master running towards them, panting heavily.

However, the owner of the Nanmu Pavilion was in a rather disheveled state. His suit was wrinkled and his hair was burnt, indicating that he had just suffered some hardship.

"Wait!" he shouted, "I'm their opponent!"

Hearing him say that, Xia You noticed that the Nanmu Gym Leader was still holding a Poké Ball. Looking at it this way, it must be because he didn't have any Pokémon with him when the box was stolen, which is why Team Magma was able to steal the box so easily and make him look so disheveled. Now, he has taken the Poké Ball and is obviously here to get revenge!

But can he really beat these lava teams?

Despite her doubts, Xia You didn't make a move, but instead gave the stage to Dr. Nanmu.

After all, Nanmu, the victim of the robbery, had already stated that he wanted to resolve the matter himself, so what could those who were helping him say? They could only stand by and watch for the time being.

"Go, Sea Lion!"

As the Gym Leader of Nanmu threw out the Poké Ball, after a flash of blue light, a chubby, blue Pokémon resembling a sea lion appeared before them.

As an Ice/Water type Pokémon, Seadra has a beige front and a blue back. It has two short teeth in its upper jaw, a pair of pectoral fins, and a short, fin-like tail. Thick white whiskers grow on both sides of its mouth, making it look like a kind old grandfather.

These Pokémon live in groups on drift ice, always spinning something with their noses. They can swim while distinguishing the scent of their prey, locating them, and capturing them. They especially love round things, whether it's a Poké Ball or a Seal Ball, they can hold it on their noses and spin it around as they please.

Upon its appearance, the Nanmu Gym Leader immediately commanded the Sea Lion to launch an attack.

"Use Aurora Beam!!"

The Sea Lion opened its mouth, and a beam of ice brimming with energy shot out, accurately hitting a large wolfhound and knocking it back. The shockwave from the explosion also caused several Team Magma members to lose their footing, even dropping the box containing the stones!

The box flew high into the air, but Xiao Sheng reacted quickly, leaping up and catching it, then holding it tightly in his arms!

Seeing this, Xia You was amazed by Xiao Sheng's skill and realized why the Nanmu Pavilion Master had to take action himself.

His Sea Lion is indeed quite strong. It's clear that he must have put in a lot of hard work to train it. It's at least much stronger than the Rocket Team trio. No wonder he has such confidence!

However, the elite members of Team Lava were clearly not to be underestimated. Despite being caught off guard, they were not intimidated. Instead, urged on by the group, the large wolfhounds bared their teeth and slowly approached Dr. Nanmu!

Ash shouted, "Team Magma, what do you want this rock for?!"

"I have nothing to tell you!" One of them sneered, pointing at the box. "If you know what's good for you, you'd better hand it over to us quickly, so we don't have to do anything to you!"

"You wish!" Xiao Sheng hid the box behind his back, glaring angrily. "You bad guys! This contains important research data, how could I possibly hand it over to you!"

Although Team Magma didn't say it, it was obvious that they must have heard about it from somewhere and wanted to find clues about Groudon on this rock.

However, these people's efforts were destined to be in vain. They searched hard on land for several years, but little did they know that Groudon had been hiding in the seabed all along!

Protecting Xiao Sheng behind her, Xia You took a step forward.

There's no point in saying more now. Now that the box has been retrieved, all we need to do is drive these people away or arrest them, so they'll back down and won't dare to bother us again. That would be a temporary solution.

As soon as he threw the Poké Ball, his Combusken and MetalGreymon appeared in front of him, and as soon as he prepared, Ash and Misty on either side also released their Pokémon.

The atmosphere immediately became very heavy.

Seeing that these people were determined to protect the box, the Team Magma members exchanged glances, and then their Pokémon charged forward together!

Chapter 645 Sometimes you can't help yourself.

Judging solely from the strength of Pokémon, Combusken and MetalGreymon are not particularly strong at present, only at the level of an average trainer's Pokémon. With such strength, they are clearly at a disadvantage against the elite members of Team Magma.

But Xia You isn't the only one here!

Ash not only sent out Pikachu, but also threw out a Poké Ball and sent out his Corphish. Misty also sent out her Poliwag and Starmie. In addition, Gym Leader Suzuki sent out Seadra. In terms of both quantity and quality, they were no less than Team Magma.

A hero needs three helpers; when their strength is combined, no one can underestimate them!

Under their command, the Pokémon launched a series of attacks, and instantly colorful moves flew towards the Mightyenas from several directions!

Faced with such an attack, the large wolfhound was no match for them, let alone able to escape.

Even if they used their skills to counter the incoming attacks, there were always times when they couldn't cover everything. After just a few rounds, several of the large wolfhounds were already in grave danger.

However, just as the group thought they could easily defeat these people, they heard the roar of propellers in the sky, and then a helicopter appeared high in the sky!

The prominent markings on the fuselage make it instantly recognizable as a Lava Team helicopter!

"Any reinforcements?" Director Nanmu frowned, weighed the options in his mind, and called out to Xia You and the others, "They have reinforcements. Let's leave here first!"

For him, the box had been retrieved, and as long as he could leave safely, these bad guys couldn't do anything to him. Moreover, once he returned to the city, he could simply call the police and let them deal with these intruders.

Hearing him say that, Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia also turned their gazes to Xia You.

They were well aware of what Director Nanmu was worried about.

But is it really necessary to do this?

If they were the only ones here, facing reinforcements from the Lava Team, they might be overwhelmed and choose to temporarily retreat and avoid confrontation.

But this man is right here!

No one knew better than them just how powerful this man was, and what kind of trump cards he possessed!

At the same time, Xia You looked up at the sky and couldn't help but marvel at the wealth and power of these regional organizations.

Whether it's Team Rocket, Team Magma, or Team Ocean, each of these organizations possesses countless riches and a large number of members. They have all kinds of high-tech equipment, making them comparable to an army. Even Interpol probably doesn't have their level of sophistication!

Unfortunately, this doesn't change anything.

Xia You knew it was time for her to get serious.

He ran his fingers through his waist bag, and finally took out two more Poké Balls and threw them onto the field.

With two flashes of blue light, his Dragonite and Scizor appeared on the battlefield!

Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? To deal with these people, there's no need for Gardevoir and Gengar, let alone Raikou and Suicune. His Dragonite and Scizor are more than enough to handle this small situation!

With a wave of his hand, Dragonite flapped its wings and soared into the sky, charging directly towards the helicopter, while Scizor joined the fierce attack on the Magma Team members on the ground!

Team Magma, who had been struggling to hold on, perked up when they saw reinforcements arriving and each sent out another Pokémon to join the battle. However, the situation did not change with the arrival of Scizor. Instead, as Scizor continued to swing its bladed arms, their Pokémon fell one after another!

"Damn it, how could this happen!?"

The captain of Team Magma frowned as he looked at Scizor, then at the trainer behind it, wondering why a simple raid would turn into such an encounter!

This is a major oversight in intelligence!

Such people should be dealt with personally by the cadres or leaders!

Turning their heads to look up at the sky, the support helicopter they had placed so much hope in was now also emitting a puff of smoke under the attack of the Dragonite, and it looked like it was in danger of crashing at any moment.

The people in the helicopter were trying their best to fight back, but they were also helpless against the Dragonite that was circling back and forth!

He gritted his teeth, knowing that this operation was destined to fail, but fortunately, he had a backup plan!

They exchanged glances with the others, then simultaneously pulled out smoke grenades and threw them downwards. Instantly, a large amount of choking black smoke enveloped a large area!

These guys are so unoriginal, even their escape is nothing new!

Xia You shook his head helplessly and shouted to Scizor, "Use Air Blade!"

The Scizor swiftly swung its bladed arms, and the next second, two transparent, crescent-shaped air blades slashed into the smoke!

The air blades pierced through the smoke, as if scattering it, and in the gap, you could just see Team Magma putting away their Pokémon and sneaking away!

Trying to run away? Not so easy!

He stepped forward, about to command the Scizor to give chase, when Curator Nanmu suddenly stopped him.

"Forget it, don't chase after them."

She glanced at him with a puzzled look, and seeing his worried expression, Xia You thought for a moment and understood why.

Unlike these lone individuals, Curator Nanmu's business is located here after all. If he really angers Team Lava, his museum will naturally face retaliation once Xia You and the others leave!

Ugh…

Indeed, the people and things in this world are like a vast net; pulling one thread affects the whole thing. You can't do whatever you want; everyone has their own troubles and concerns.
