Chapter 24 Team Rocket, I need to borrow your head!
Chapter 24 Team Rocket, I need to borrow your head!
Dejected because he couldn't find a fishmonger, Kojiro, dressed in a white Team Rocket uniform unlike anyone else, stood in the center of the hall, performing embarrassing lines with his companions to attract everyone's attention.
"Team Rocket is taking all the Pokémon here."
At the command of the team leader, the Team Rocket members surrounding the hall collectively activated the devices on their backs.
The powerful suction force pulled out the Poké Balls of the unsuspecting trainers one by one.
Ash, however, was prepared and immediately pressed down on the Poké Ball at his waist as Team Rocket started the machine.
[Ding! New side quest triggered: Team Rocket's Attack!: Stop Team Rocket's plot!]
[Rewards: Alliance Coins +50*X; Free Attribute Points +2+X; Regional Favorability +X; Regional Reputation +X; (X depends on the host's contribution to the mission, with no upper limit!)]
Is there no upper limit?
The rewards are incredibly generous.
"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony!"
Ash immediately shouted a warning to the surrounding trainers, "Everyone, protect your Poké Balls!"
Thanks to Ash and his friends' reminder, none of the trainers' Poké Balls were stolen in the raids.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
"Pikachu!"
A flash of lightning, and a Team Rocket member collapsed to the ground, convulsing. Ash's energetic voice rang out from the crowd.
"Everyone here, since Team Rocket is trying to steal our Pokémon, let's fight to the end rather than let them take away our important partners!"
"That boy is right, we can't just sit here and wait to die!" Xiaoxia chimed in to support him.
With Ash and Misty leading the way, the trainers, having calmed down from their panic, pulled out their Pokémon that hadn't yet been absorbed.
This was also a mistake by Team Rocket. Although they kept the devices that absorbed the Poké Balls running, there were simply too many trainers present, and the devices couldn't absorb them all in time.
One Pokémon after another was released.
[Ding! Congratulations on achieving the achievement: First 'West High'! Your speech successfully moved 10 people.]
[Rewards: Alliance Coins +500; Attack +2; Special Attack +2; Trait: Orator LV1: Your words will be more persuasive.]
Team Rocket finally realized what was happening and released their Pokémon as well.
"Come out, Lucario, Beedrill, Clefairy, Charmander, Squirtle!"
Ash also released all of his Pokémon.
"Start enjoying this feast, my children!"
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
For a time, the colorful skills dazzled people.
On one side are the League of Legends trainers, and on the other side are Team Rocket. The great battle between good and evil has officially begun.
However, Team Rocket is an evil organization after all. How could they possibly behave properly in battle? They are capable of everything from ganging up on one person to throwing hidden weapons and ambushing trainers with dirty tricks.
With their shameless spirit, the Rockets actually gained the upper hand.
Even Ash's Charmander and Squirtle were forced to retreat temporarily due to being attacked from multiple sides.
But don't worry, Ash is about to warm up.
"Lucario missile cover! Beedrill Hyper Beam attacks that Crobat! Clefairy's Mega Punch slams into Snorlax's face!..."
As the Pokémon attacked, Ash turned around and kicked a Team Rocket Tauros flying.
"Oh my god, Ash! How can he be so strong!" The trainers around Ash exclaimed in surprise.
After tonight, Ash will definitely become famous in Vermilion City and Goldenrod City.
Not only Pokémon, but Ash can also rescue a few people while directing them.
A lone girl was about to be attacked.
At that moment, Ash rushed over and punched through the machine on the back of the Team Rocket member, lifting him up and throwing him away with great force.
They knocked down another group of Rockets.
Several cunning Rocket members tried to throw surprise attacks at Ash, but his Aura "Observation Haki" predicted them in advance, allowing him to easily dodge them.
With his powerful physique, Xiao Zhi rampaged through the enemy ranks like Lu Bu reincarnated.
"Hahaha! I've never had this much fun playing since I was born. I really have to thank you guys, Rockets!"
After laughing heartily, Ash charged back into the enemy ranks.
The number of Team Rocket defeated by Ash is almost more than all the other trainers have defeated combined.
"Damn it, who brought that monster up here?"
The leader of Team Rocket's operation looked at Ash in the crowd with despair.
One member quickly stepped forward and reported this to the authorities.
"It looks like Musashi and Kojiro."
"What! Don't talk nonsense, meow!" X3
Meow and the others quickly retorted.
But when the captain saw their panicked appearance, he understood.
"It's you three useless bastards again! I will report this to the boss truthfully."
"You can forget about getting your salary for the whole year!"
Upon hearing the captain's words, the trio of idiots immediately rushed over and hugged his leg.
"No, Captain! Our wages have already been squandered by that bastard Kojiro for half a year. If we get any more deducted, we'll have no way to survive!"
The captain, speechless, wanted to kick them away.
"Get off me, you idiot! We're still at a crucial moment in the mission!"
The three of them were holding on so tightly that they couldn't be kicked apart, which made it impossible for the captain to observe the situation of the melee for a moment.
Ash noticed them because of James's white uniforms.
"Pikachu, aim in that direction, Thunderbolt!"
The powerful electric shock knocked the Team Rocket trio and their captain unconscious.
Without a commander, Team Rocket was divided and surrounded by the trainers, and quickly fell one by one.
In the end, the trainers inside the cabin emerged victorious, tying up all the Team Rocket members and retrieving their Poké Balls.
[Contribution settlement in progress... Congratulations, host, you have received X=50!]
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the side quest: Attack of Team Rocket!]
[Rewards: Alliance Coins +2500; Free Attribute Points +52; Region Favorability +50; Region Reputation +50]
"52 free attribute points! What a wind!" Ash was overjoyed.
"I think I'll never forget you guys, Rockets."
At that moment, the Saint Anne was suddenly struck by huge waves and began to rock from side to side.
It turns out that when Team Rocket was on their mission, the sea area they were sailing in was experiencing a storm.
The deck of the ship has begun to tilt to one side, and the situation is very bad.
No sooner had one wave subsided than another arose.
The angry crowd surrounded the captain.
"What happened? Why didn't you notice it sooner?"
The captain also looked completely innocent.
"There was nothing I could do. Because of Team Rocket's actions, I was also taken into custody. By the time I was rescued, the ship had already been swept away by the waves."
In fact, the Rockets didn't do anything to him.
The captain was so happy that he fell asleep after the boss gave him a large sum of money.
Then, very cunningly, he assured everyone that the ship would never sink, and secretly slipped away on his own.
Sensing something was wrong, Xiaozhi quickly grabbed his luggage and ran over to meet Xiaoxia.
"At this rate, this ship won't make it to port alive. We need to get out of here quickly."
There aren't even any decent life jackets on this damn cruise ship.
Left with no other choice, Ash had to buy three life jackets from the system shop, two of which he gave to Misty and Pikachu.
Xiao Zhi felt a pang of regret at spending 5000 yuan on a life jacket, but safety was the most important thing right now, so he couldn't worry about that.
Looking out at the turbulent waves, Ash shouted, urging everyone to start running for their lives.
"Everyone, we can't wait any longer! The captain has run away! Everyone, get to the lifeboats!"
Only then did everyone realize that the captain was missing from the cockpit, and they hurriedly began to flee to the lifeboat.
Another huge wave crashed in, capsizing the entire St. Anne and causing it to slowly sink.
The St. Anne completely capsized and sank to the bottom of the sea.
