Chapter 165

【Ash really didn't know what to say.】

【The rules of the Bug-Catching Contest were that you could only catch one Bug-type Pokémon to participate in the final evaluation. Pokémon like Weedle would definitely not even pass the preliminary round in the evaluation; he really didn't understand what Casey was catching it for.】

【"Ah! I forgot, I can't move my feet whenever I see a yellow Pokémon."】

【Casey stuck out her tongue and said cutely.】

【Fortunately, the rules of the Bug-Catching Contest allowed you to release the caught Pokémon and catch another one; otherwise, Casey wouldn't even have a place to cry.】

149: Mewtwo Appeared Again? The Situation Rises Again!!!】

【Ash was just here to go through the motions for this Bug-Catching Contest; he already had Heracross and Scyther, so other Bug-type Pokémon in the National Park were hard to catch his eye.】

【Not deliberately competing with Casey, Ash just caught a Pinsir like completing a task.】

【In the final judgment, Ash's Pinsir lost to Casey's Beedrill. And Casey successfully won the championship crown by relying on her well-developed Beedrill.】

【Casey was so happy after winning the championship; this was her first time winning against Ash in a competition.】

【Holding the Beedrill's Poké Ball in her left hand and raising the Sun Stone in her right hand, Casey's face was overflowing with a happy smile.】

【"Then see you next time, Master."】

【Because she had been addicted to cheering for the Electabuzz baseball team recently, Casey hadn't properly challenged the gym. The time until the Silver Conference started wasn't much, so she had to hurry to collect badges; otherwise, it was very likely she wouldn't make it to this Silver Conference.】

【After saying goodbye to Casey and Karen, the Ash quartet also set foot on the road to Ecruteak City.】

At this time, the video with the black border slowly dimmed, and the video with the white border was lit up.】

【On the journey, Ash and the others saw a Sudowoodo that could use all kinds of skills.】

【Near the Ruins of Alph, Ash and the others happened to meet Professor Oak. Under Professor Oak's guidance, they came to the Ancient Pokémon Park; this park was built by Professor Oak's student.】

【In the park, Ash and the others not only saw the skeletons of Aerodactyl and Kabutops, but also saw living Omanyte and Omastar.】

Gary: "No, who exactly spread the rumor that Aerodactyl, Omanyte, and Kabuto were extinct?"】

Gary really couldn't take it anymore.】

He couldn't even remember how many times he had seen so-called extinct Pokémon.】

Kanto, Orange Islands, Johto, their traces were everywhere; where was there any sign of extinction?】

【After driving away Team Rocket, the Omanyte and Omastar living in the water flow of the Ruins of Alph could live peacefully again.】

【After leaving the Ruins of Alph, Ash and the others met a Pidgey delivering a letter on the road, but Pidgey's condition wasn't very good; a fierce Fearow was chasing it.】

【In order to save Pidgey, Ash hurriedly summoned Noctowl. With Noctowl's help, Pidgey escaped from death.】

【After sending the injured Pidgey back to its owner's side, and helping Lance build confidence, Ash and the others started on the road again.】

【Ash and his group, traveling deep in the forest, arrived at Clear Cliff. After climbing over the Clear Cliff in front of them, they could reach the next city.】

【Climbing over Clear Cliff on foot was definitely unreliable, so they decided to follow the travel guide and go to the parking lot at the foot of the mountain to take a bus.】

【Just at this time, Brock discovered a troublesome thing: the bus's departure time was exactly at noon today, and there wasn't much time left for them.】

【Hurrying and rushing, Ash and the three still didn't catch the mountain bus. What made them even more painful was that because of the sudden heavy rain, all three of them were drenched like drowned rats.】

【"What should we do now?"】

【The three looked at each other, wanting to cry but having no tears.】

【Fortunately, the kind Ms. Luna took them back to the bus inn and told them that they could wait for the next bus at the bus inn.】

【But the next bus wouldn't arrive until a week later; how could Ash wait that long?】

【In the end, after discussion, they decided to go downstream along the river and cross Clear Cliff.】

【It was still going smoothly, but after seeing countless Bug-type Pokémon on the road, Misty couldn't hold it together.】

【She surrendered; she would rather stay at the bus inn for a week than do this kind of stupid thing.】

【Returning to the bus inn in a dejected manner, Misty completely announced her surrender.】

【"I wonder if there are any other ways?"】

【Ash was still unwilling to waste a week here.】

【"There is a way."】

【A smile rose on the corner of Brock's mouth. He suddenly turned around, reached out and pointed to the Clear Cliff in front of him, and said passionately: "Climb this Clear Cliff and take a frontal attack."】

【A real man shouldn't take the crooked path; let's attack head-on!】

【This was Brock's plan.】

【"I advise you not to do this," Ms. Luna said.】

【Looking at the steep and towering Clear Cliff in front of him, Ash asked curiously: "May I ask what it's like up there?"】

【"Protected by cliffs that no one can approach, nature can be preserved without being harmed. It's Mirror Lake, surrounded by vast forests and flowers and trees."】

【"That is the source of the water nearby. Water gushes out from the ground of Clear Cliff and flows into Clear River. Benefiting from that water, all kinds of wild Pokémon can survive here."】

【Just as they were marveling at the mystery of nature, someone knocked on the door.】

【The visitor was the famous medical doctor Benisrina and a cute girl, Domino.】

【This time, it wasn't just Benisrina who came; the Team Rocket trio also arrived, and they just openly kidnapped Pikachu.】

【However, the time Team Rocket chose was a bit wrong; this was the time when the wind rose at Clear Cliff, and their hot air balloon was swaying, with the risk of crashing at any time.】

【Hating Team Rocket to death in his heart, but for Pikachu's sake, Ash had to lend a helping hand to Team Rocket.】

【Bringing mountaineering equipment, led by Luna, the group began a general attack on Clear Cliff.】

【They didn't successfully save Team Rocket and Pikachu; instead, the rescuers were now in danger themselves.】

【The climbing rope accidentally got caught on Team Rocket's hot air balloon, and everyone was taken away by the hot air balloon.】

【Seeing that everyone's life was in danger, the wind suddenly stopped.】

【And at this time, Domino also found what she wanted to find.】

【Mewtwo.】

【In a cave near Mirror Lake, Domino saw Mewtwo.】

【No more pretending, showdown, I am a member of Team Rocket's special operations team.】

【Domino didn't care about the friendship of traveling together at all; she quickly climbed onto the hot air balloon, and before leaving, she didn't forget to use a needle to puncture the hot air balloon.】

Jessie: "We are also members of Team Rocket; what is this guy doing?"】

Meowth: "Damn it, it's really too damn it. Boss, you must severely punish this guy who is disloyal to the organization."】

James: "We won't die, will we?!"】

150: Ash is Moved to Tears, He Has Gained Gary's Recognition!】

Domino: "You three guys are the shame of Team Rocket; it's already good enough that I didn't solve you myself!"】

She had already been very considerate of the friendship between Team Rocket members; otherwise, she would have already finished off these three burdens.】

【A phone call went out, and all members of Team Rocket on standby were dispatched. For Mewtwo, Giovanni also went all out.】

【He brought out almost all of Team Rocket's family assets.】

【Helicopters appeared in the sky of Clear Cliff one after another.】

【At this time, Domino also returned to Team Rocket's helicopter with the help of a glider.】

【Ash and the others weren't as dashing as Domino; the hot air balloon was punctured, and the group was scattered all over Clear Cliff.】

【Because of Domino's interference, the Pikachu that the Team Rocket trio had finally caught also escaped.】

【The three originally thought they were going to be taught a good lesson by Pikachu, but at this time, another Pikachu appeared.】

【"We meet again."】

【"I don't want to see you at all; why did you come here!"】

【"We cloned Pokémon just want to live an unknown quiet life; why do you have to bring humans here!"】

【Meowth, while translating, was also a bit confused; it didn't understand what cloned Pokémon were at all.】

Meowth, James, Jessie, and even Pikachu were all confused, but the audience watching the video all understood what was going on.】

Lance: "After leaving New Island, Mewtwo and the cloned Pokémon have been living at Clear Cliff."】

Bruno: "Clear Cliff is a good place; it's no wonder Giovanni searched for so long and didn't find Mewtwo."】

Lorelei: "It's a pity, Giovanni still hasn't given up; the peaceful life of Mewtwo and the cloned Pokémon has been broken again."】

【Under Team Rocket's attack, the cloned Pokémon had almost no power to fight back. In less than ten minutes, all the cloned Pokémon that dared to resist were captured by Team Rocket.】

【Unable to bear seeing the cloned Pokémon he created fall into Team Rocket's hands, Mewtwo still made a move.】

【Meeting Mewtwo face-to-face again, Giovanni was so excited.】

【He couldn't wait to control Mewtwo again.】

【In order to deal with Mewtwo, this time he specially brought a special machine made by Team Rocket. With it, even Mewtwo couldn't escape from his hands.】
