Chapter 153 The Lost Forest, Mongoose Slash?
Chapter 153 The Lost Forest, Mongoose Slash?
A few days later, in a forest on the way from Yosuga City to Oddity Town.
Ash, who had been lying on the ground with his eyes closed, slowly sat up. He rubbed his throbbing head, looked around, and muttered to himself in a slightly bewildered tone:
"Where...am I?"
......
"Damn it, what bad luck!"
Ash got up and walked slowly through the forest. Recalling what had happened earlier, he couldn't help but complain.
"Those guys on the Rockets are really annoying. They haven't shown up for so long, and I thought they'd finally be able to shut up for a while, but they've come looking for trouble again."
They were enjoying lunch in the forest not long ago, but they never expected that just as they finished eating and started training, the three members of Team Rocket would come looking for trouble in their strange robot.
Although Team Rocket's plan ultimately failed, the explosion of their robot was too close to them, resulting in Ash, Dawn, Brock, Pikachu, Chimchar, and Piplup being blown away.
They and the three members of Team Rocket should be scattered in different corners of the forest now, but...
Given their terrible sense of direction, finding each other probably won't be an easy task.
"There's no other way, Starbird, so we've decided—"
"So why did it explode so easily?! Meow Meow, didn't you say there would be absolutely no problem?!"
"Meow~ There's nothing we can do about it~ It's already difficult to defend against electricity and have strong impact force, but those little devils also have the water-type Piplup and the fire-type Chimchar, meow~ Electricity, fire and water combined are the bane of more than 99% of robots, meow."
"Sigh, that's true... But speaking of which, why is Chimchar with that brat? What's up with that brat whose expression and behavior are so annoying?"
Who knows, meow~
Ash: "......"
Listening to the conversations and footsteps coming from the path beside the bushes, Xiao Zhi's lips twitched a few times, but he ultimately remained silent.
Only when Kojiro and Meowth appeared in front of him, and the group exchanged bewildered glances, did he finally speak:
"What a coincidence."
"?! You little brat!?"
"No way, meow..."
Kojiro and Nyanko looked deathly pale, but the next second they assumed they were ready to fight to the death.
......
Meanwhile, in another part of the forest.
"Damn it, it's all your fault... If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have gotten this bad."
Hikaru stood with his hands on his hips, complaining to Musashi. However, Musashi was clearly not the type to admit his mistakes. Faced with Hikaru's dissatisfaction, Musashi simply shook his head dismissively and said:
"What strange things are you saying? Wasn't the robot's explosion caused by your attack? And two of the culprits happen to be here."
After Musashi finished speaking, she glanced at Chimchar and Piplup standing next to Hikari, who seemed ready to attack at any moment, and then asked a question.
"By the way, why is that brat's Chimchar with you guys? It looks like he's been tamed by that brat, right?"
"do not know!"
Hikaru said angrily, clearly not wanting to continue talking to Musashi here.
After saying that, Xiao Guang was about to leave with Chimchar and Piplup, but just then, accompanied by the sound of a Poké Ball being activated and a white light, Jessie's Seviper suddenly appeared, looking fierce.
"?!"
"Poga!"
"Oji!"
Piplup and Chimchar reacted instantly, standing side by side in front of Hikari, watching Musashi and Seviper warily, ready to attack them at any moment.
"Huh? Eh? No, I didn't release it!"
Seeing that something was wrong, Musashi immediately waved his hand, denying that he wanted to cause trouble.
Although she wasn't afraid to fight Hikari, now was clearly not the time to do that. It was definitely more important to find Kojiro and Meowth than to have a meaningless battle with Hikari.
"Spittle Snake, come back here right now!"
Fearing that the other party would make a move if he was any later, Musashi quickly took out his Poké Ball to retrieve the Slug.
But to her and Xiaoguang's surprise, the rice spoon snake came out again the moment it was retracted.
It still stood before them with a fierce expression, but upon closer inspection, the spiky snake didn't seem to be looking at Xiaoguang and the others; instead, it was staring at a certain patch of grass...
"Hey, hey, hey... could it be...?"
Musashi seemed to remember something, and his expression turned terrified.
The next second, the spiky snake and the creature in the grass did not disappoint her fear. In an instant, three figures flashed out of the grass and appeared in front of the spiky snake, glaring at each other.
"This is... a mongoose slash?"
Hikaru took out the encyclopedia to check the information on the Mongoose Claw, muttering to himself.
Although I don't know why Mongoose Claw is here, and it looks like it's about to fight the Shrike, it's always better to run away first, right?
"Hey, Piplup! Chimchar, run away—"
"Poga!"
"Ok?"
Amidst Piplup's somewhat panicked shouts, Hikari stopped and turned around. There stood Chimchar, staring in terror at the backs of the three Zangoose Slashers, its body trembling uncontrollably.
"Little Flame Monkey, what's wrong? Hurry up—"
Just as Hikari was about to speak to wake up Chimchar, Zangoose Slash was already locked in combat with Musashi's Sago.
Although the Scyther is quite strong, it quickly fell to the bottom after being attacked by three Zangoose Claws. Judging from the current trend, the Scyther probably won't last more than two minutes. If it doesn't take this opportunity to escape...
"No, Bogarman!"
"Poga!"
Although Hikari didn't understand why Chimchar was so afraid of Zangoose, since Chimchar was unable to move, she had to take on the responsibility of protecting it.
While calling to Piplup, Hikari picked up Chimchar and then, without looking back, darted into the nearby bushes and began to flee frantically, completely ignoring Jessie who was still trying to return Seviper to its Poké Ball.
However, the battle between the Rice Spoon Snake and the Mongoose Claw ended sooner than she had imagined.
Before she could run for even 10 seconds, an explosion rang out, and Musashi and the serpent were sent flying into the air, turning into two shooting stars.
.......
P.S.: I've tested positive, but the situation hasn't improved yet. My mind is still foggy, so the quality of the last few chapters might be a little lower. Please forgive me...
