Chapter 112: Directly stealing the Thunderbird's home!

We've only just arrived at the Orange Islands; when will we ever reach the Kalos Region?

Shalina appeared to be watching the Black Light Screen, but she secretly glanced at Ash, eagerly awaiting the Black Light Screen's arrival in the Kalos Region.

That would let Black Satoshi have a turn.

Shitron saw that Ash's expression hadn't changed, and he knew Ash's attention was solely on how Black Satoshi would handle this crisis.

Black World—

Ash learned that as long as he went to the Three Sacred Birds' island, took their treasure, and placed it on the shrine guarded by the Hippopotamus King, then Fulu La would play the flute.

It sounds simple enough, but doing it is full of pressure......

Ash gazed grimly at the outside weather.

The wind howled, rain shot down like dense arrows, and the surrounding trees swayed in the storm.

Above the clouds, faint lightning flickered like a dragon rolling, each flash accompanied by deafening thunder.

From that violent lightning, Ash sensed an unusual fluctuation. This fluctuation carried an indescribable power, making him feel both uneasy and curious.

"You go to the shrine first."

Ash had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"I'll go get the treasure!"

"I want to go too!" Xiaoxia immediately said she would follow Ash, looking at the scene before her, her heart filled with worry, not letting Ash go alone.

Ash understood Xiaoxia's worry, but he had his own considerations: "Take Fulu La and the others to the shrine; if anything happens on the way, you'll still need to rely on you, the Water-type Pokemon Master, to handle it."

Besides, there's those three Team Rocket guys; they might show up to cause trouble, so you need to be careful!

Saying that, Ash gently hugged Xiaoxia and whispered, "Don't worry, I have Aura, so I can sense danger around me, and Pikachu is with me, so I'm fine."

Pikachu also jumped out at the right moment, comforting Celebi in its own way.

"Hmm!"

Xiaoxia's cheeks flushed as she obediently hummed.

He cautioned, "Don't overdo it!"

【Changpu: Just one hug and you convinced Xiaoxia?】

【Mudan: That's too much, huh? You're not bad to Xiaoxia, but you go off on your own adventure, unwilling to let Friendship also fall into that danger.】

【Brock: I want to learn from Black Satoshi!】

【Musashi: What the heck, what does this little rascal mean, saying we should guard against us? Although our Team Rocket has done plenty of bad stuff, we never leaked any chains in a crisis, okay?】

【Xiao Ci Lang: The little rascal from Black World is biased against us.】

【Ash: It's not bias, you've always been like this.

You just sometimes help us, that's all!"】

【Miaomiao:... Next time, speak faster!】

The audience watching the film all looked at the Black Light Screen; the situation over there seemed even more dangerous.

First arriving at the Fire Bird's island, Ash unexpectedly discovered that the Team Rocket Trio had also come up.

"Don't be scared, little rascal, we're here to help you."

The Team Rocket Trio's resolve was high; they had also secretly heard this legend.

The Orange Islands are home to the Three Sacred Birds; once someone provokes them, it will trigger the apocalypse.

Now this situation is already as good as the apocalypse, so the three of them thought, if the apocalypse came, they wouldn't be able to catch Pikachu anymore, so they decided to help the little rascal.

First settle the current trouble; once world peace is restored, they'll continue catching Pikachu.

"Then you just draw its attention!"

Ash pointed toward where the Thunder Bird was flying, snatched the Fire Bird's treasure, and ran.

The Thunder Bird flew all the way, sparks trailing lightning.

"Little rascal...... you!"

The Team Rocket Trio saw the Thunder Bird land on the island; closely following was an airship that released a capture device, directly pursuing the Thunder Bird.

The Thunder Bird was especially fierce, while dodging the capture device it kept attacking the airship, bursting with strong current that ionized the surrounding air with a crackling sound.

The strong current filled the air; Miaomiao watched this, feeling a pang of palpitation, and spoke the Thunder Bird's thought: "It wants to occupy this island!".

"What a huge airship, what a powerful capture device!"

"What a huge airship, what a powerful capture device!" The Team Rocket Trio's eyes shone like light bulbs, completely captivated by the high-tech gear on the airship; such technology is something Team Rocket dreams of owning.

If they had this airship, their plan to capture Pikachu would undoubtedly become easier. Moreover, the capture device looks so powerful that if they offered it to Banmu boss, the three of them could very well rise in rank within Team Rocket, even become executives.

Thinking this, the Team Rocket Trio's eyes gleamed with greed.

They began researching how to board that airship and seize control. If successful, they would not only resolve this crisis but also gain the airship—truly a two-for-one.

"Those two big guys aren't easy to mess with, watch out!" Ash shouted while running and looking back. The Thunder Bird isn't easy to provoke either, especially with an airship chasing it now. But the Team Rocket Trio seemed oblivious to all that; their eyes were fixed only on the airship and its high-tech gear.

While the Thunder Bird was tangled with the airship, he needed to hurry to the Thunder Bird's nest; the treasure should still be there.

Just seeing that airship, he knew what the sudden turmoil was about—everything was the airship's doing.

The Fire Bird isn't on the island; it must have been captured.

Having grown to resent humanity and wanting to destroy the world, the Three Sacred Birds were provoked.

Black Satoshi swiftly arrived at the Thunder Bird's island and directly took its treasure.

Since the Thunder Bird isn't guarding its home, we'll just steal its home.

All the way smooth, no obstacles.

At this moment, the Ice Bird was being chased and captured by the airship.

The Thunder Bird had already been captured onto the airship, and the Team Rocket Trio was also caught aboard.

Xiaoxia watched Ash return, her anxious heart finally at ease; the commotion earlier on the island wasn't ordinary, and she had thought Ash might have been caught up in it.

"You've worked hard!"

Fulu La looked at Ash, thinking to herself that she really hadn't misjudged him.

"Place the treasures in their corresponding spots."

The Hippopotamus King looked at Ash.

Another talking Poké Ball.... Ash followed suit.

But we're still missing the Ice Bird's treasure.

Just as Ash was heading to the Ice Bird's island, that airship suddenly exploded, and the Fire Bird and Lightning Bird flew out.

And that airship seemed to lose control, swaying left and right as if someone were fighting for control.

"Could it be Team Rocket?"

Ash couldn't guess who had helped them, except for the Team Rocket that had just stayed on Fire Bird Island; they must have been captured together with the Lightning Bird, then the three of them caused trouble inside, wanting to seize this airship, which accidentally let the Fire Bird and Lightning Bird out; now they must be fighting for control of the airship.

Those three Team Rocket guys must have taken a liking to that airship; if they get it, they'll probably come right away to capture Pikachu.

Ash had a headache.

"Being targeted by Team Rocket is really unpleasant!"

【Wusong: You guys】

【Musashi: Little brat, you've had your day too, Black World's Team Rocket, go for it!】

【Jessie: Oh, back then, how could we not have thought of that? If we had snatched that airship, we'd have made it big.】

【Meowth: This way, the boss will be happy; when he's happy, he'll give us a raise and promote us!】

【Yulongdu: No ambition!】

【Sakaki: You talk as if you're so promising, but after all this time you still haven't caught me.】

"The boss spoke up for us, wuwuwu!"

The Team Rocket Trio felt moved; Sakaki spoke up for them, thinking that Sakaki still loved them, even though he usually scolded them, but they knew that was Sakaki's expectation of them.
