Chapter 152: Help from the Team Rocket Trio!

【Ash: Psyduck is amazing, good thing Xiaoxia caught it, otherwise we'd suffer a big loss!】

【Brock: Exactly, thanks to me, I voluntarily asked Miss Joy to take care of Psyduck back then; otherwise, Xiaoxia, you'd lose a great asset!】

【Xiaoxia: Hmph, you only took on caring for Psyduck because you were chasing after Miss Joy. But after my training, Psyduck learned Water Gun and gradually got the hang of controlling psychic power... although it's still a bit clueless.】

【Ash: Haha, I knew Xiaoxia could do it!】

【Nazi: Xiaoxia, I have some insights on psychic power; maybe I can help you train Psyduck. I'll send it to you later as a thank‑you.】

【Xiaoxia: Thank you, Miss Nazi!】

【Nazi: No need to thank me; if it weren't for you guys, I'd still be as I was before.】

Bai Shijie——

Ash and his group arrived at Kashaduo City on Silver Rock Island, where various silver feather products are sold. Ash also became interested in the mysterious identity of Pokémon that possess silver feathers, and unexpectedly met Xintaro, who knows about the mysterious Pokémon that have silver feathers.

From him they learned that when a ship was sailing, it encountered a storm; suddenly a mysterious Pokémon appeared, its appearance summoned a huge tornado, and afterward the previously raging waves became calm, the weather cleared, and a silver feather fell from the sky.

From then on, the people of Silver Rock Island regarded that silver‑colored Pokémon as a guardian deity, and the silver feather became a local specialty.

After hearing the legend, Ash and his group decided to head to Chong Island in hopes of encountering that mysterious Pokémon, while Xintaro prepared a gift for Baihezi, intending it as a birthday present and a proposal.

After the interruption caused by Team Rocket, Baihezi agreed to Xintaro's proposal.

Ash met Ahong, his rival from the Quartz Conference, and they planned to search together for the mysterious Pokémon.

On a desolate island they encountered a little boy named Xiuyi who had an Electabuzz, and saw Team Rocket chasing him and Little Lugia.

This Team Rocket was not Jessie and James, but Amado and Xiao Sanlang.

After driving them off, Luja also came over, and everyone gathered to watch Little Lugia.

Little Lugia's mother also came over; at first she was wary of Ash and his group, but after talking with Little Lugia, Lugia let down its guard and allowed Little Lugia to interact with Ash.

Not long after, Amado and Xiao Sanlang made a comeback and snatched Little Lugia away!

【Fulu: Ash and Lugia really have fate; you can even meet Lugia's baby. If you get along well with it, you might end up traveling together.】

【Ash: It's still young and still needs its mother's care; if it came with me, Team Rocket would get even more excited and try to snatch my Pikachu and Lugia.】

【Professor Damu: That's right. Sometimes a legendary Pokémon following a trainer draws a lot of attention; a trainer with no ill intent is fine, but if you run into an organization like Team Rocket, trouble can get big.】

【Once they set their sights on you, if you lack sufficient strength, your Pokémon will surely be snatched away by them.】

【James: Know how formidable our Team Rocket is!】

【Jessie: Still dare to think we Team Rocket are just comedians?】

【Guang: Although your identity is also Team Rocket, your strength isn't worth fearing.】

Bai Shijie's Lugia mother couldn't find Little Lugia, frantic with worry it flew into a rage and summoned a storm.

But Ash and Ahong, to calm Lugia's anger, braved danger and sailed over to persuade Lugia, saying they would bring back Little Lugia. Afterwards Lugia trusted Ash and restored the weather to normal.

After tailing the Team Rocket Trio to their hideout, Ash and his group still couldn't rescue Little Lugia.

Professor Nanbo invented the Anger Device, which can boost a Pokémon's battle power using rage; Amado and Xiao Sanlang's Dailubi and Kebolangke put Ash's group in a tough spot, unable to get past them to save Little Lugia.

What's worse, Team Rocket used Little Lugia as bait, successfully luring Lugia over; regardless of whether it was a trap, Lugia ignored Ash and company's obstruction, attacked them, knocking them out, then flew toward the cage holding Little Lugia, only to be captured together by the cage's capture device.

Not only was Lugia captured, but Ash and his group were also taken.

But at that moment, the Team Rocket Trio came out to help Ash, so as not to let Amado and Xiao Sanlang steal the spotlight; Jessie and her gang let Xiuyi in, rescued Ash and his group, and planned to release Lugia as well.

Amado and Xiao Sanlang noticed this and began fighting them.

During their battle, they accidentally released Lugia, which then went on a rampage in Team Rocket's base.

Ash and his group rescued Little Lugia, finally calming Lugia's anger.

After all that, the Lugia mother and child left the island.

【Ma Zhishi: Still saying you three aren't undercover agents?】

【Xiba: If it weren't for Jessie and James, Ash and crew really wouldn't know how to get out of this!】

【Ash: Thanks, justice‑wielding big sis!】

Tch, if it weren't for being unable to stand Amado and Xiao Sanlang, I wouldn't help you brats.

The Team Rocket Trio thought.

Sakaki gazed at the behavior of the Team Rocket Trio inside the White Light Curtain and fell into contemplation.

After a long while, only a helpless sigh could be heard.
