Chapter 196: Disappeared

Ash was using Pikachu to battle the opponent's Panda.

But the Panda was very strange, having an indescribable sense of oddity.

"What is going on? Why would this thing appear here?"

Although it wasn't difficult for Pikachu's ability to battle the opponent, Ash felt this guy was a bit weird.

It felt like he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember.

"If you're fine, then hurry and move aside. I won't lay a hand on you today."

"And I have absolutely no interest in the Pikachu by your side. As long as you let me go and catch Celebi, I won't continue to capture Pokémon in the future." He said it with such seriousness.

But if Ash believed him, he wouldn't be the trainer he was now.

So no matter what he said, Ash maintained a calm expression.

"I'm really sorry, but I'm not interested in what you're saying. If all of this is like what you said before, then could it be that what I'm saying is also related?"

After he finished speaking, he launched an attack again.

The two of them were watching from here, but he was getting anxious.

He took out a Poké Ball directly and then used a bolt of lightning.

When Ash opened his eyes again, the opponent had disappeared from in front of him.

He was startled and hurriedly backed away.

"Pikachu, don't look over there, hurry and chase them. They've already escaped to the back of the forest; the situation below is a bit wrong."

Although he couldn't quite accept the current situation, looking at it this way, it was indeed unusual.

Pikachu felt it was inexplicable, but didn't say much.

It hurriedly chased over. On this side, Misty was battling the Scyther.

May on the side was also using her Pokémon, but this Scyther had a huge pincer.

And the trees cut by this pincer were like cutting watermelons, incredibly smooth.

"Everyone dodge a bit, otherwise you'll be attacked too."

May warned, and Brock and the other two were also very worried.

Just as they were about to reach the lakeside, the three people in the air finally reached their destination.

"Hahaha, it really is 'all that searching and here it is without any effort.' I really didn't expect to encounter them. But if this is taken back..."

"At that time, our boss will definitely think we did a great job, and will certainly sneer at the behavior of those previous Team Rocket members."

He was exceptionally happy, and James on the side was the same.

"I think you're right. Hurry, hurry and let the Pokémon out to harvest them. As long as we put them into our black Poké Balls..."

"... then everything will be complete. Even if they are tainted by us, it will be too late for them to do anything."

After hearing these words, they charged over. Samuel Oak, seeing that he was only a few steps away from the lake surface...

... simply started running and jumped into the lake while holding Celebi.

"Damn, why is this guy so suicidal? We didn't say we were going to do anything, we just wanted to do what we had to."

"I think you're right, we really didn't have that intention, but he is too strange."

James looked at the person who had fallen into the water and wanted to go down to help.

But he felt it wasn't appropriate. Jessie's expression on the side was also very firm.

The fleeing Masked Marauder had been searching for Celebi's tracks, but because the detector in his hand had failed...

... he could only wander blindly in the forest, but he would not give up. He felt that battling Ash was a waste of time. ===== CHAPTER 197 =====
