Chapter 245: The Terrifying Power of Musashi After Her Hair Is Cut!

Even though the Team Rocket Trio inside the Light Screen had no power to fight back against Bengal Ras, they used their strong bodies to block Bengal Ras so that Oddish and Weezing could protect their companions and escape.

Oddish and Weezing heard the sounds of their Trainer being beaten, turned around worriedly wanting to go back and help, but the Team Rocket Trio told them to run quickly, not to look back, and left the rest to them.

Seeing their Trainer's miserable state but unable to abandon their companions, Oddish and Weezing shed tears; finally, urged by the Team Rocket Trio, they fled this place.

The Team Rocket Trio was defeated, yet they still clung to Pokémon Hunter Aron to prevent him from leaving, but their bodies covered in wounds left them no strength to resist.

Pokémon Hunter Aron pursued and found those Arbok, but then encountered Ash and his group.

Pidgeot was instantly KO'd by a single 100,000 Volts from Pikachu, and Bengal Ras hadn't even been released yet when Officer Jenny's Growlithe snatched it away.

From Pokémon Hunter Aron they learned that all the Pokémon he had captured had escaped, having been snatched away by a gang of troublemakers.

Ash and his group were happy, but they didn't know that the people who released the Pokémon were the good guys—actually the Team Rocket Trio!!!

【Ash: Huh? The good people who saved those Pokémon are Team Rocket?】

Ash never imagined that the Pokémon rescued from Pokémon Hunter Aron were actually done by the so‑called bad guys, the Team Rocket Trio.

Not only Ash found it hard to believe; everyone did, especially the Team Rocket members themselves, who were astonished that Musashi, Shinjiro, and Meowth would do such a thing.

Although they had done many bad things, they were good to their own Pokémon and dared to protect them.

【Yulongdu: Although the Team Rocket Trio has done many bad things, they rarely actually succeed in doing bad deeds; mostly they assist Ash, and compared to those Pokémon Hunters, the Team Rocket Trio can be called good people!】

【Handsome Guy: Hmm, I agree; just from the Team Rocket Trio inside the Light Screen protecting their own Pokémon, plus the situation with Arbok and Weezing, the Team Rocket Trio aren't traditional villains—their introduction even says they embody love and true evil, cute and charming anti‑heroes, which fits them perfectly!!!】

【Brock: Yeah, Oddish and Weezing are reluctant to leave the Team Rocket, but later they became the guardians of Arbok and Weezing, preventing them from being persecuted by others—all learned from the Team Rocket, and they've always been good to their own kind!】

"What's there to expose? We've always been the ones snatching others' Pokémon; no one has ever managed to snatch ours."

Musashi looked toward the other side.

"Eh, I wonder how Weezing is doing?"

Shinjiro still misses Weezing; having shared those experiences, he can't forget them.

"Don't worry; they've been with us this long, have fought many times against those brats, and ordinary people pose no threat to them."

Meowth said confidently.

That's not just idle talk—Meowth has battled Pikachu many times, each time being schooled by Pikachu's 100,000 Volts; now they fear no electric attack, those voltages compared to Pikachu's are mere child's play.

"Musashi, Shinjiro, Meowth, you've done not bad!"

Giovanni was quite satisfied with the Team Rocket Trio's behavior; although their strength isn't great, they can sacrifice everything to protect their own Pokémon.

【Xiaosheng: Although the Team Rocket Trio's battle power isn't strong, as Trainers they are qualified, able to sacrifice everything to protect their own Pokémon.】

【Shinjiro: What do you mean battle power no good? Let's have a real‑person PK if you dare!】

【Meowth: Just asking if you dare to meow!】

They ignored them......

White Light Curtain——

That Cacnea came before the Team Rocket Trio, still holding the packet of food Shinjiro had given it.

In the end, the Team Rocket Trio captured Cacnea.

Ash and his group continued their journey; this time they encountered a Wood Guardian. Ash, trying to capture the Wood Guardian, accidentally rolled down the hill and ended up near a withered, mysterious giant tree, where he was attacked by a Wood Guardian.

Then an elder Wood Guardian arrived with several other Wood Guardians intervening; after mediation, they learned that those few Wood Guardians' purpose was to take away that solitary Wood Guardian.

It turned out that Wood Guardian had been born on that tree, insisting on taking care of it.

At the crucial moment, the Team Rocket Trio would come to assist; they captured a large number of Wood Guardians and incidentally also caught Pikachu.

The Wood Guardian stepped forward, cleverly luring Cacnea to use its missile needles to pierce the Team Rocket's balloon, thereby rescuing their companions and allowing Pikachu to escape in the chaos.

However, that giant tree eventually toppled from excessive aging, scattering many seeds.

Then the Wood Guardian challenged Ash, who sent out Pikachu to defeat it and successfully captured it.

Finally, the Wood Guardian planted the seeds left by the giant tree, bade farewell to its companions, and followed Ash away.

After taking the Wood Guardian away, Ash and his group dined at the forest park.

The Poison Snake Pokémon Ekans not only stole Torchic's food but also toyed with it; however, Ash's Wood Guardian rescued Torchic, yet the furious Ekans' sneak attack wounded the Wood Guardian.

The Wood Guardian couldn't accept being defeated by Ekans, went out to train, aiming to strengthen its strength.

At the same time, the Team Rocket also encountered Ekans, whose food was likewise completely snatched away.

Musashi's iconic scene is coming!!!

Shinjiro and Meowth in Mialeishi were trembling at the Light Screen, even though Musashi's target wasn't them, they were still afraid.

"That guy was basically asking for a beating, daring to bite my hair!"

Musashi saw Ekans bite off his hair, spoke angrily.

Musashi's hair inside the Light Screen was bitten off by Ekans; Musashi's face changed instantly, fury surging, killing intent radiating—taking her food was fine, but daring to touch what she cared most about, her hair, Musashi would display unprecedented fighting power... never seen before, Ekans even feared it!

Burning with rage, Musashi unleashed a frenzy of punches and kicks on Ekans, wild scratching, and a million‑ton heavy kick, robbing Ekans of its fighting ability.

Moreover, Musashi still felt unsatisfied, even wanting Ekans to get up and keep fighting.

If Shinjiro and Meowth hadn't reminded him, Musashi would have forgotten to capture Ekans.

【Amado: Is that Musashi? Sure it's Musashi?】

【Musashi: Hah, it's me, you're nowhere near my level!】

【Brock: Musashi's fighting power is that strong? Feels like it could match Ash!】

【Xiba: Hair‑cut Musashi terrifying as hell, tearing Ekans apart.】

Musashi's move just scared them silly!

It's no surprise they could endure Ash this long—abnormal physique, taking repeated Pikachu 100,000‑Volt shocks with no issue, facing Pokémon Hunter high‑voltage currents unharmed, now seen tearing Ekans apart while Ekans can't fight back.

No wonder they can keep up with Ash!!!

Meanwhile, Ash by the waterfall found the Wood Guardian.

After the Team Rocket Trio captured Ekans, following special training the Wood Guardian's strength increased, easily defeating Ekans.

After rescuing Pikachu, Wood Guardian does not take Pikachu's head, indicating that from now on it will be handed over to Pikachu.

Team Rocket also gets blown away by Pikachu on a regular basis!
