Chapter 155

After battling Yamaduo and Xiaosanlang for a few rounds, Ash keenly noticed that their Poké Balls each wore a strange device on their heads; at the same time, these two trainers also held corresponding control devices in their hands.

As they continuously adjusted, the power of the moves these Poké Balls used actually saw a significant increase.

"Pikachu, Thunder!" Ash commanded decisively.

He had already realized that those Poké Balls could unleash such powerful moves and had abnormal auras because the devices on their heads were causing trouble.

Following Ash's command, Pikachu gathered strong electrical energy and suddenly released a golden thunderbolt like heavenly punishment.

The thunderbolt crashed down, accurately striking the Poké Balls of Yamaduo and Xiaosanlang; under the massive electric shock, these Poké Balls instantly lost their battle capacity and collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, that device could not withstand the thunderbolt's impact and shattered directly; what's more unexpected is that the shattered device fragments also carried electricity to Yamaduo and Xiaosanlang, letting them also taste the power of Pikachu's electric strike.

"Well done!"

Ash heard a cheer coming from the nearby bushes; it was the Team Rocket Trio, though he didn't know what they were up to.

"Haven't I already defeated their Team Rocket teammates? Why are they still cheering? There must be a trap here."

"Useless thing!"

At that moment, the secret base of Team Rocket surfaced on the sea; an old man in a white lab coat came out, saw the situation, and immediately snapped: "Can't even handle a few brats."

Yamaduo and Xiaosanlang explained the situation to the old man: it wasn't that they were useless, but these few people were too strong.

From their conversation, Ash learned that the old man was Dr. Nanbo, who was researching a device called Anger.

Provoking a Poké Ball's anger can unleash great power.

"Come at me all together!"

Dr. Nanbo shouted for a bunch of Team Rocket members, who all released their Poké Balls.

Ash and his companions each sent out their Poké Balls to battle the Team Rocket members.

Ash's Pikachu took the lead, releasing a strong electric field and engaging in skirmishes with the Team Rocket Poké Balls.

The two Gym Leaders, Brock and Xiaoxia, also each sent out their Poké Balls, battling the Team Rocket members with back-and-forth exchanges.

The two Gym Leaders, plus a new trainer, engaged in a large-scale battle with Team Rocket.

Although the Team Rocket members equipped their Poké Balls with Anger devices, boosting their combat power, Ash and his group still held the advantage with their strength and coordination.

Their Poké Balls responded flexibly in battle, being far stronger than Team Rocket's, skillfully dodging attacks while launching fierce counterattacks.

"Blue Croc, Rain Dance!" Ash shouted loudly.

Blue Croc immediately understood, closed its eyes, looked up and prayed, as if communicating with water energy. Responding to it was its powerful Water Cannon Turtle senior. Blue Croc had once seen Water Cannon Turtle perform Rain Dance, and Water Cannon Turtle had taught it; now at the crucial moment it was finally its turn to use it to help the team.

As Blue Croc bellowed to the sky, the heavens instantly turned overcast with dark clouds, thunder rumbling, as if foreshadowing a downpour. Gradually, large raindrops began to patter down from the sky, soaking the entire field.

Seeing this, Xiaoxia understood Ash's intention. She quickly recalled her Poké Balls, because most of hers were Water-type, and in such rain they might be accidentally hurt by Pikachu's electricity.

Brock also made the same choice, recalling his own Poké Ball; Pikachu's electricity differs from that of ordinary Poké Balls and would also inflict considerable damage on his own Poké Ball.

"Don't be afraid, hide behind me."

Ash probably knew that Team Rocket wanted to capture this little Lugia, then lure the big Lugia.

"Last time they created Mewtwo, which ended up escaping, and now they actually want to capture a legendary Poké Ball; they're really not afraid of death."

"Wuuu!"

The little Lugia hid behind Ash, peeking out slightly to observe the situation; those people meant it no good, they probably intended to capture it.

"Pikachu, Thunder!"

Pikachu built up a strong current on its body and suddenly shot a dazzling bolt of electricity toward the clouds above.

"Pray for rain and thunder, quickly hit that Pikachu!"

Professor Nanbo shouted, having noticed that Pikachu from the start; its strength is formidable, far greater than theirs.

Seeing this Thunder move, he knew they intended to defeat them in one strike, so he could only retreat to the base.

At the moment Professor Nanbo gave the order, the electric charge that had long accumulated in the clouds seemed to have been summoned; a tremendously thick and violent lightning bolt crashed down, accurately striking the Poké Balls of the Team Rocket members.

Accompanied by a shrill wail, the fury devices on those Poké Balls proved fragile under Pikachu's powerful Thunder attack, shattering instantly. The power from the fury devices vanished in an instant, the Poké Balls lost their extra boost, and could no longer withstand this devastating blow.

In an instant, those Poké Balls all collapsed helplessly to the ground, losing their battle capability.

And the Team Rocket members were also hit by Pikachu's Thunder, all falling to the ground.

【Yulongdu: Well done, Black Satoshi did a good job.】

【Ash: Finally I defeated those Team Rocket; no need to be captured like I was, it's great to seize the initiative.】

【Xiaoxia: Yeah, if it weren't for Wuzang and her friends helping out, we wouldn't know how things would turn out, and the Lugia mother and child wouldn't know what mistreatment they'd suffer at the hands of Team Rocket!】

【Wuzang: Don't get the wrong idea, we're not helping you; we just don't want to see Yamaduo and Xiaosanlang stealing all the spotlight.】

【Ahong: Black Satoshi's Poké Ball strength has increased considerably; taking on those Team Rocket members is no problem, it won't let the little Lugia be captured, and relying on its own strength it will drive Team Rocket away!】

【Xiba: I think Black Satoshi's current strength is extraordinary; probably only Team Rocket executives and above could match him, otherwise anyone coming would just be giving away their heads.】

【Yulongdu: About right, I fear he's even stronger than those executives!】

Black World —

Professor Nanbo emerged from that base, unwilling to admit defeat, he directly sent out his own Electabuzz.

"Electric Net!"

Pikachu immediately released a dense electric net, attempting to trap Electabuzz.

However, Electabuzz quickly used Light Wall, forming a transparent barrier in front of it, successfully blocking the electric net's attack, rendering the net ineffective against it.

Just as Electabuzz was preparing to counterattack, a silver beam of light suddenly came head-on. This beam was extremely fast and astonishingly powerful, instantly shattering the Light Wall before it, followed immediately by a tremendous force that slammed hard into its body.

Electabuzz felt an irresistible force acting upon it, and its body was involuntarily flung backward.

It tumbled several times in the air, then smashed into two rocks, finally crashing heavily onto a large stone slab, causing the stones behind Electabuzz to crack with fissures, while it itself fell into a coma, completely losing its battle capability.
