Chapter 169: The Unmarked Trio's Justice Beatdown!

Chen Ji: Still a gold Magikarp?...... Back then we didn't see it; this must be the properly evolved red Gyarados Poké Ball. We should catch it to test the evolution wave—maybe then it wouldn't lose control like that original red Gyarados.

Professor Bulatenuo: Your evolution wave does great harm to Poké Balls, forcibly inducing their internal energy, which will greatly harm the Poké Balls themselves and may cause internal energy disorder, leaving a hidden danger for the Poké Balls.

Professor Damu: Don't bother with those so-called evolution waves; they're nothing but disaster, ruining the trust between Poké Balls and humans, making it perilously thin.

Handsome guy: Don't worry, we'll assign extra personnel to focus on 'taking care of' Team Rocket, so they won't be able to use evolution waves like that anymore.

Sakaki: That kind of thing is useless to us now; we haven't used it in a long time.

But I still welcome you; if we happen to meet, I'll entertain you well.

As for uncontrollable Poké Balls, Sakaki now looks down on them; after seeing Mewtwo inside the Light Screen, and since he now has no memory, he knows it was Mewtwo that erased him.

His heart rekindled the pursuit of Mewtwo; capturing Mewtwo could realize control over the Poké Ball world.

Yulongdu: Waiting for you to come out, Sakaki; you've been hiding for so long, you're not scared, are you?

Xiaociaolang: Come on, our boss wouldn't be scared? As soon as we show up, you're not happy again!

The Team Rocket Trio greatly respects Boss Sakaki; they can't stand anyone belittling the boss, and they immediately speak up, determined to regain face for their boss.

Yulongdu couldn't be bothered with the Team Rocket Trio; in his eyes, these three guys pose basically no threat, just as the data Team Rocket gathered shows these three guys have contributed nothing to Team Rocket, and sometimes they're just causing trouble.

As for what happens later, I don't know; it's just that earlier Sakaki told them to look after the Changpan Gym, they just agreed, and before the badge even warmed up, they sent it out.

So the most important thing is the Team Rocket led by Sakaki!

Ahaha~

Blue Croc brought the gold Magikarp up, gently placed it on the shore, and then detailed the abnormality on the lake surface to Ash.

There weren't many Poké Balls in the lake; just saw a Magikarp. Heard something happened in the lake, the Poké Balls that originally lived there seem to have been stimulated and all left.

It's probably because of this wave; the Poké Balls of Angry Lake have all left.

Ash frowned, then told them about the situation at Angry Lake.

Looking at the somewhat listless gold Magikarp, he had Blue Croc bring it over and give it some food to eat.

"This Magikarp is a shiny like your Noctowl, but it looks a bit weak."

Xiaoxia said softly from the side, her eyes full of sympathy and care.

"You want to go back into the water!"

Ash crouched down and communicated with the Magikarp via telepathy.

He also learned from it that its companion had shown abnormal conditions, suddenly evolving into a red Gyarados, and then losing control, attacking wildly.

Many people also came to attack it, not knowing what those people released, making it feel terrible and weak all over.

That red Gyarados was captured, and many of the Poké Balls living here left.

"Don't worry, we'll help you rescue your companion! If you're uncomfortable, just stay here."

Ash crouched down and seriously told the Magikarp,

Now we know it's Team Rocket's doing; we plan to tell Miss Junsha, then secretly look for Team Rocket's base, and if we get the chance, we'll destroy the device that makes Poké Balls lose control and feel awful.

He struggled to control his emotions, anger burning in his eyes; those Team Rocket guys always act against Poké Balls, treating them as disposable tools, and he despises such people.

He made a silent resolution: this time he will absolutely not let Team Rocket get away easy!

Click-click-click!

Feeling Ash's firm emotions, the Magikarp blew bubbles, started jumping, just kept jumping, not knowing what else to do.

"What great energy, I'll find your partner and bring it back here."

Ash praised the tenacious gold Magikarp, then took Xiaoxia and Brock to look for Team Rocket's traces.

Watching Ash's departing back, the gold Magikarp kept jumping, kept jumping forward, jumping higher and higher, wanting to jump to Ash's side.

During the search, Ash noticed the wave fluctuating in strength, and sometimes heard the wailing of Poké Balls, which must be the red Gyarados.

Ash's heart sank, he quickened his pace, and followed the sound.

Soon he saw in the distance a group of people in black Team Rocket uniforms driving a vehicle, ensnaring a huge red Gyarados. Then several people teamed up to drag the Gyarados ashore. At that moment, most of the Team Rocket members gathered around the Gyarados, mercilessly electrocuting it.

Ash took the opportunity to carefully observe the movement direction of the Team Rocket personnel, and roughly determined the location of the device emitting the wave.

He secretly calculated, preparing to sneak into Team Rocket's base at the chance, destroy the device, and rescue the Gyarados.

Just as he was preparing to act, a loud bang suddenly came from ahead, accompanied by explosive firelight and smoke, and the whole scene instantly fell into chaos.

"What's going on?" Brock exclaimed from the side.

"Someone destroyed Team Rocket's device."

Ash saw a Dragonite battling Team Rocket, with a trainer wearing a cloak on its back, looking cool.

That's Adu, an Elite Four member!!!

Brock recognized it at once; the signature Pokémon should have that signature cloak, which is really distinctive.

Adu is one of the Elite Four of the Stone League, and also a Poké Ball Investigator, responsible for maintaining peace and order in the Poké Ball world.

He is very upright, with many fans and admirers.

The three also knew that was Adu, an Elite Four member, but now isn't the time to look at him; there are still more important things left undone.

"While Team Rocket's attention is all on Adu, the Elite Four member, let's hurry over and rescue the Gyarados."

Right now is the perfect opportunity; Team Rocket's entire focus is on that Dragonite, basically no one is guarding the unconscious Gyarados.

The three were in perfect sync; a glance exchanged revealed each other's thoughts.

They approached silently, and Ash sent out Blue Croc to bite through the large net trapping the Gyarados.

"Hey, little brat, are you guys with that guy?"

Chen Ji came over with the two, his tone unfriendly.

"You want to snatch the Gyarados from us? Dream on!"

After glancing at Blue Croc and Pikachu, he sent out two Spearow.

The other two each sent out a Dodrio.

At this moment, the Poké Ball they sent out also carried that anger device.

Look at the device's appearance; the red light on the device is even brighter, and it has been improved.

Ash glanced at that anger device, then looked at the Poké Ball they sent out.

Again it's a big-beaked bird, Pikachu's favorite to fight. Also there's Doduo; for the blue crocodile, it's also trivial.

Xiaoxia sent out little saw crocodile, mosquito incense singer, and sea star star.

Brock sent out giant rock snake, rumble stone, and his little punch stone evolved.

In an instant, Ash's side's number surpassed that of Team Rocket's side.

Chen Yi looked down on Ash's Poké Ball, seeing that Ash and his companions were young, and their Poké Ball appearances were not fierce-looking, and he despised them from the bottom of his heart.

Believing that with the anger device's boost, they could easily take down Ash's Poké Ball.

Even the Adu Heavenly King was temporarily blocked and unable to rescue Gyarados.

But the fact is the opposite of what they thought.

Ash's Poké Ball actually had two strikes, beating them back repeatedly.

Even with the anger device's boost, the result was still the same.

The whole scene turned into Ash and his companions' Poké Ball launching a righteous siege against Team Rocket's Poké Ball!

"Just with you guys also wanting to block us?"

Ash's wave-guiding power was fully released, giving the Poké Ball a buff!
