Chapter 185 Just like that... subdued?
"hehe!"
After Ash asked that question, Kojiro stood up with a smile.
"Master! No, wait! You brat, let's have a Pokémon battle!"
"What are you talking about? And how did you get all these injuries?"
Ash didn't immediately pay attention to James's inexplicable provocation, but instead pointed to the gauze on James's body and asked him this question.
"..." Kojiro was silent for a moment, then said angrily, "It's none of your business!"
After saying that, Kojiro quickly threw a Poké Ball at Ash.
"They're coming! Desert Naya!"
"Desert Nai!"
As soon as Desert Nyarlathotep ran out of the Poké Ball, he was about to turn around and hug James, but the next second when he noticed Ash on the other side, Desert Nyarlathotep's expression suddenly became serious.
"Let the little brat see the results of our many days of training! Use the Pin missile!"
Without hesitation, Kojiro, wrapped in gauze, gave the order to attack.
Although he didn't understand the situation, Ash thought he could just knock the others away as usual, so he didn't hesitate and immediately launched a counterattack.
"100,000 volts!"
The dense barrage of missiles and the 100,000-volt attack clashed head-on, and the difference in their power levels was clearly demonstrated in this single strike.
The missile needle was directly shattered by the 100,000 volts, and the golden lightning continued to advance towards the original location of the desert Naya without any hindrance.
but--
"Needle-shaped hidden weapon!"
"Desert Nai!"
Faced with the undiminished power of the 100,000 volts, Desert Nyarlathotep ran forward while raising his right arm and slamming it down onto the ground.
"boom!"
After a deafening roar, a crater was smashed into the once-intact roof, and a huge rock stood in front of Desert Nyarlathotep, blocking Pikachu's Thunderbolt attack.
"???"
"Haha! How about that? This is the result of our training."
Seeing Ash's shocked expression, Kojiro couldn't help but burst into laughter, his expression smug and triumphant.
Ash is indeed somewhat shocked and surprised, but this emotion doesn't stem from James's command and control, but rather from—
"Hey! Don't you know how dangerous this is? What if you collapse the house? You'll all end up getting blown away anyway, and we'll be the ones in trouble!"
"what?!"
"Don't get too cocky, you little brat!"
"Kojiro, you'd better teach him a lesson! If you win, we'll call it even, but if you lose to that brat... hehe."
Musashi chuckled in a sinister tone, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Upon hearing this, Kojiro shuddered, then immediately rubbed his hands together and replied with a smile:
"Don't worry, we can win! Oh, no, we will definitely win!!"
Kojiro seemed to have thought of something terrifying, and his legs began to tremble, making him unable to stand steadily.
"Alright, in that case... Desert Nyarlathotep, charge over and use Absorption Fist! Let the brat see the results of your intensive training these past few days!"
"Desert Nai!"
Desert Neytah roared and charged toward Pikachu, his eyes filled with unwavering seriousness.
"In that case... Pikachu, use Thunder Shock!"
"Pickup!"
Pikachu roared, and lightning burst forth from its pouch, instantly enveloping its body.
Even Gliscor, perched on Ash's shoulder, could clearly sense the danger posed by the lightning bolt. Its previously somewhat dazed gaze was now filled with admiration.
Just as Desert Nyarlathotep and Pikachu were about to collide head-on, a cross-shaped blade suddenly flew from afar, struck Desert Nyarlathotep's feet, and sent him flying towards Team Rocket's hot air balloon.
"That's... a cross-cut scissors? So..."
As Xiao Zhi muttered this, he looked towards the balcony next door.
He had just turned his head when he saw Shinji, along with Scorpion King and Weavile, looking at him with an impatient expression.
"What are you all standing there for? Attack now!"
Shinji's indifferent voice drifted over from afar, and Ash could only shrug helplessly upon hearing it.
"That's all for today, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!"
"Pikachu!!"
"Hey?! No!! Wait! We haven't even produced any results from our training yet—"
"mound!!"
Golden lightning covered the entire field, accompanied by a huge explosion. The three members of Team Rocket were once again sent flying into the air, turning into several shooting stars and disappearing into the distant distance.
Faintly, Ash could only hear James's unwilling cries and Jessie's angry shouts, as well as that familiar phrase—
"This feeling is awful!!!"
"Sonams!"
"Did it really take this long to deal with that bunch of useless trash? It just goes to show that weaklings are completely useless."
After seeing that Team Rocket had been blasted away by Thunderbolt, Shinji was carried by Gliscor to Ash's side.
"He has a Wobbuffet but can't even use Mirror Coil. Does that guy even deserve to be wanted? What are the police in the Sinnoh region for?"
Shinji seemed particularly grumpy today. Ash glanced at him and the dust-covered, somewhat disheveled Weavile standing beside him, and vaguely guessed why Shinji was in such a bad mood.
Actually, those three guys were also tested by the police in the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn regions.
Ash only thought this to herself, because she knew that if she said it out loud, Shinji would probably mock the police from the other regions as well.
"What are you standing there for? Have you been beaten senseless? Which way do you want Scorpion King to lead those scorpions?"
"Huh? Oh?!"
He had been wondering why Shinji was here, but now he remembered that he was the one who told Shinji not to leave after he subdued Scorpion King, as he needed Scorpion King to guide him.
However, Shinji himself seemed to have already guessed his plan.
"Just let the Scorpios in the city follow that truck. Miss Officer Jenny and Miss Joey will guide them by observing the changes in wind direction."
"...He's gone."
Shinji called Gliscor to help him and left without looking back, ignoring even Ash who was behind him greeting and thanking him.
"What an awkward guy..."
Ash is already used to Shinji's behavior. If he could be a little more frank, life might be a lot easier.
But is it just the frank Shinji...?
It's really not suitable for him.
……
Before they knew it, it was dusk. Ash and Pikachu watched the scorpions turn into black dots and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew, it's finally over. I'm starving."
"Pikachu~"
Pikachu rubbed its belly in agreement.
Today felt like such a long day.
It's a pity I didn't manage to tame Scorpio...
Ash gazed at the setting sun and couldn't help but think this.
While it would be romantic to reunite with past companions, he didn't seem to find an opportunity to subdue Scorpio this time. It simply followed him all the way here, and just like that, it followed them...
"Wow!"
"?!"
Just as Ash was feeling a bit sentimental, the sudden hiccup from Gliscor behind him startled him.
Turning around, I saw that Scorpio, who had disappeared at some point, had suddenly emerged from my backpack.
As it crawled out, it wiped the food crumbs from the corner of its mouth and let out a burp.
"Wow?"
Scorpion seemed to notice Ash's somewhat bewildered look, so he turned his head and tilted his head to look at him.
"Eh……"
Under Pikachu's nonchalant gaze, Ash finally let out an incredulous sound.
