Chapter 184 Ash: What the hell are you guys doing?!
"Is it here? How much longer do we have to walk to find the Scorpion King?"
"Wow!"
Scorpio pointed ahead and patted his chest, as if to say that he would soon find the Scorpio King.
"..."
Xiao Zhi crossed his arms and looked at the little guy sitting on his shoulders, still feeling that it was a bit unreliable.
However, Ash's thoughts didn't last long. A gust of wind blew through the air, and the sound of gliding came from above. Gliscor's figure was obscured by the sunlight.
“Gli!”
An excited shout rang out, and under Ash's watchful gaze, the Gliscor in mid-air did not hesitate at all, raising its pincers and delivering a cross-shaped strike without saying a word.
"Wow?!"
The Gliscor perched on Ash's shoulder hadn't expected Gliscor's attack to be so swift and decisive. It had originally planned to slip away while Gliscor and Ash were fighting.
"How straightforward, Pikachu! Use iron—"
"Mavila, Freeze Ray!"
Just before Pikachu made its move, a familiar voice rang out from behind, and the next second a beam of icy blue light flashed past Pikachu, colliding directly with Gliscor's cross-shaped attack.
"boom!"
The two skills collided, creating a powerful explosion. Scorpion King's expression hardened, and he immediately used the airflow from the explosion to fly to a higher position.
This subconscious action by the Scorpion King actually helped it escape the ensuing blizzard.
"Tsk."
Ash turned around and saw Shinji walking up with Weavile, looking quite annoyed.
Shinji found it hard to accept that a move that should have been a sure hit had been so easily dodged.
But then Shinji looked at Ash and clicked his tongue, saying:
"It's you again? Let me make this clear: this Scorpion King has already started fighting me, so I have the right to subdue it before you."
Perhaps because of his previous experience with Ursaring, Shinji said this to Ash in advance this time.
"I know, I know."
Xiao Zhi waved his hand and said:
"Go ahead and subdue it, but don't leave right after you've subdued the Scorpion King. We still need its help."
"..."
Shinji didn't speak, but turned his head to continue directing Weavile in the battle against Scorpion King.
Xiao Zhi shrugged, walked out of the alley and looked into the distance, wanting to see how Xiao Guang and the others were doing with their work.
But as soon as he stepped outside, he noticed scorpions flying around everywhere in the street... no, it should be said that...
Forced to fly randomly?
"Wow?!"
A chaotic gust of air blew up around Ash, and the Gliscor perched on Ash's shoulder was unable to resist its force. Even though it tried to fold its wings, Gliscor was still forced to half-open its wings and fly into the air, and then, like most Gliscor, it was swept around by the airflow.
"Scorpio?!"
Ash didn't manage to catch Gliscor the moment it took flight, but judging from Gliscor's grinning face...
It should be fine, right?
However, there's something wrong with this airflow; it doesn't seem like a natural airflow at all, but rather like it's been artificially created.
"Pikachu! Pikachu!!"
Pikachu jumped onto Ash's shoulder and patted Ash's head while holding down Ash's baseball cap.
Following the direction Pikachu pointed, Ash finally understood what was happening.
On the tallest building in the town, a hot air balloon shaped like a cat is hovering above, and next to the hot air balloon is a huge thing that looks like a blower.
"These guys..."
Ash and Pikachu exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.
The original plan couldn't continue for the time being, so Ash could only hurry towards Team Rocket's location.
……
"Hey! Meow! Something's not right! Didn't you say that once you turned on this switch, all those Scorpions would be sucked in? It looks like they're just running around aimlessly."
Musashi grabbed Meow Meow by the scruff of her neck and began to interrogate her.
"I...I don't know either, meow! Maybe something went wrong with the machine, meow!"
Meow, who was being held by Musashi, struggled and tried to defend himself.
Their original plan was to use this machine to take over all the Scorpions who were good at collecting food, so that they would never have to worry about food again.
But it seems they haven't accomplished anything except getting these scorpions flying around everywhere.
"Ugh!! I can't take it anymore! What are you all doing! Kojiro's side is useless, and now Meowth, you're useless too!"
"But Musashi, you're useless too, meow..." (whispering)
"Huh? What did you say?"
"N-nothing, meow!"
After her grumbling was overheard, Meow Meow quickly smiled apologetically and said...
However, there was no way to continue like this. This machine had already used up their last loan amount, and if they still got nothing, they would have to work to pay off their debts for a long time to come.
If this happens, their efforts to capture Pikachu will stall, and Boss Giovanni will lose faith in them.
"There's no other way, meow... I'll try to fix it, but I don't know how long it will take."
"Hurry up, less talk and more action! And those over there, come help too! Don't just stand there like you're dead!"
"Sonams!"
Just as Jessie was directing Meowth and Kojiro to quickly repair the machine, the rooftop door was suddenly kicked open with a bang. When they turned around, Ash appeared in front of them with Pikachu and a Gliscor.
"Little brat?!" x2
"It's you guys again! What the hell are you doing...?! Seriously, what are you doing?!"
Ash was about to question Jessie and Meowth about their behavior when he noticed Kojiro crouching behind them, his entire body wrapped in bandages.
He paused, and when he spoke again, his words had taken on a different meaning.
