Chapter 221: Giving It Their All

"Since you want to battle us, then bring out all your Pokémon, and remember to use your full strength."

"Otherwise, don't say we're bullying you or anything. After all, everyone has done their best. If we really talk about other things, I might be able to become even stronger."

If he had heard this at any other time, he would definitely have argued vehemently.

But Xiao Jun had previously seen Ash's battle at the Gym on television.

He knew Pikachu's strength was definitely not as simple as he had imagined, so he also strengthened his own efforts.

"Don't worry, I train properly every day. This time, I will definitely achieve victory."

"Although there's no representative badge, I think this is enough. After all, this also means defeating someone I really hate."

Ash didn't answer when he heard him say this.

Misty and May also discovered that this Xiao Jun wasn't really that hateful.

He was purely being tsundere, it just wasn't visible on the surface.

On the other side, Masked Man Iron-Masked Marauder, who had just come out of the forest, suddenly realized.

He knew what he was doing was wrong, but he couldn't quite react, and didn't even know what to do next.

"I didn't expect we'd run into you here."

The Team Rocket duo, who were out on a mission, saw Iron-Masked Marauder and were preparing to ridicule him.

"Who was acting all high and mighty and self-righteous before? Now, someone is no longer even a member of Team Rocket."

"Exactly. Although we aren't looked down upon by the Boss, and sometimes fail to complete corresponding tasks, in the Boss's heart, we are still irreplaceable. But someone else is different."

When the two of them talked about this, they were dancing around.

Iron-Masked Marauder was already annoyed.

Seeing these two, he wished he could tear them to pieces.

"What do you have to show off about? That's just because you haven't found the right opportunity yet. There are plenty of people better than you."

"When that time comes, even if you want to turn back or find another way, it will already be useless."

He just spouted off regardless of anything, but the two of them were thick-skinned.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go teach him a lesson! We have to get back all the grievances we suffered before, otherwise, how can we justify this long period of calm?"

Jessie and James had been excluded before.

They had been lost in a forest for a long time.

Then, after returning, they heard other Team Rocket members say that the Boss had high hopes for Iron-Masked Marauder.

They were very likely to be fired, so for that period, the two of them were diligent, fearing they wouldn't complete their tasks.

But after returning, they heard this news, and everything that followed was unexpected.

How could the current Iron-Masked Marauder be a match for these two?

His Pokémon were also injured.

So it didn't take long before he was knocked down. Jessie and James were overjoyed to see this scene.

"This time, I'd like to see how you can argue back. Anyway, we have to complete the Boss's task."

After speaking, they kicked the person in front of them and headed in the direction of Ash and the others.

Pikachu was hard to get elsewhere, but there was one right beside Ash. The two of them weren't stupid; if they could get this into their hands,

the consequences would be unimaginable. Perhaps the Boss would be extra happy and give them a bonus.

And Ash, Xiao Jun, and the others were already prepared for battle; with just one command, their Pokémon were ready to fight.

The main thing was that the Pokémon on both sides were very strong. Besides Pikachu, Ash had two other Pokémon he cared about very much.

And Xiao Jun was about the same.

"No, what kind of expression is that? Do you think my Pokémon will lose? I tell you, that's impossible. My Pokémon are the most powerful in the world."

Looking at his innocent face, White just felt this guy was a bit too serious. How strong was Ash's strength? Did that even need to be questioned?

He wanted to say that this was almost like telling a joke that couldn't possibly exist.

"So you don't believe in me either?"

Xiao Jun looked at White on the side, his eyes full of confusion.

"I don't not believe in you; I just think this is hard to say, but everyone should just do their best."

And before this, they had already agreed that no matter what, this time it must proceed normally.

"And don't look down on my Pokémon, okay? Their strength is also very strong. Although I know you think highly of Ash, you can't ignore me no matter what."

Hearing these words, he sighed helplessly.

"I didn't say you were no good; I just told you to be careful. It's just that the situation this time is quite unexpected."

On the other side, Ash didn't know what they were discussing.

He just saw that these Pokémon had already started.

"Pikachu, wait a moment."

If the previous matches were something everyone knew,

then this one was a bit unfathomable. Pikachu actually wanted to rush out and battle these Pokémon too.

Ash saw it and couldn't help but gasp.

"What do you mean by this? Are you looking down on my Pokémon? I think Pikachu battling my Pokémon is the most normal thing."

Seeing this, Ash sighed helplessly.

"No, that's not what I meant."

Xiao Jun was naturally very arrogant; it seemed he disagreed with whatever others said, and now, even if he really wanted to explain, he had to change his approach.

"Although I don't know what you want to say, I want to remind you that as things stand now, you definitely won't be able to do it exactly the same."

He meant that no matter how Ash arranged things, and no matter how the situation unfolded later, he had to do it according to what he said.

Ash, of course, ignored him and told Pikachu to take care of itself. The battles of the others on this side also kicked off.

Misty, May, and the others were all very nervous.

They hadn't expected this Xiao Jun to be so powerful; one person actually had so many Pokémon!

And looking at the combat power of these Pokémon, they were much stronger than imagined.

"What kind of look is that? Are you looking down on my Pokémon? Or is it that in your eyes, these aren't important at all?"

Xiao Jun's temper flared up again. Seeing this, they sighed helplessly.

"No, that's not what we meant."

White hurried up to arrange things, and this battle was truly chaotic.

And the old lady also came after hearing about this.

After all, she was very concerned about Celebi's condition.

Samuel Oak and Celebi didn't join this battle; they just watched from the side.

"By the way, this is to help Celebi recover. See if it helps?"

Seeing the item the old lady handed over, Samuel Oak took it, bowed to thank her, and let the old lady stay to observe.
