Chapter 277: Snatched the barbecue from the Team Rocket Trio, then went to war with the Magma Team!

Xiaosheng: This time the Jirachi in the Black World probably won't be used by Butler again, after all it has so many powerful Poké Balls protecting it.

Ash: Yeah, back then I couldn't protect Jirachi.

Ash sighed inwardly, at that time he couldn't stop Batele.

Otherwise such things wouldn't happen later, and these seven days after Jirachi woke up could also be happy.

"It's fine, Ash. Looking back now, it's indeed a bit regrettable, feeling we could have done better. If someone else did it, they wouldn't compare to you. And back then you stopped that fake Groudon from continuing its destruction, which was great!"

Shalinna's jade hand rested on Ash's shoulder, she said softly.

Her voice was soft and gentle, like jade beads falling on a silver plate, clear and melodious.

Ash looked toward Shalinna beside him, seeing her brows filled with worry, her beautiful eyes full of concern for him, perhaps also afraid that he, alone, would start doubting himself after a failure or some things not going well.

Last time...... Shalinna originally wanted to comfort himself, but he didn't appreciate it and even said something rather hurtful.

However, this time it won't happen.

Ash patted Shalinna's little hand, nodded and smiled: "I know!"

Afterwards Ash turned his head to look at Shalinna, gazing into her eyes, and said seriously: "Shalinna, thank you!"

"Hmm, the Ash I know has always been confident and optimistic, and even to the end he would never give up."

Shalinna looked at Ash and smiled.

Youlijia was pulled away by Shitron to watch the Black Light Screen together.

"Why won't you let me watch?" Youlijia asked.

"No reason, just watch the Black Light Screen!" Shitron didn't want his sister to disturb Ash and Shalinna.

Black Light Screen—

Jirachi's silhouette appeared before everyone.

It resembled a star in shape, with two cloth-like structures on its back, and the tips of its stars had blue-green rectangular strips.

It looked really small..... Ash caught Jirachi and introduced himself.

Its big eyes looked at Ash, and Jirachi felt a familiar vibration from Ash's body, the same one it had just sensed.

"Hello!"

Jirachi looked at Ash and his group.

After a preliminary understanding, Jirachi and Ash's group came to a preliminary understanding.

"Come out too!"

Ash and his group released all their Poké Balls and played with Jirachi.

Even Marill came out.

"Everyone, Jirachi is our Friendship, we can all play together!"

Ash introduced Jirachi to everyone.

Immediately, the Poké Balls welcomed Jirachi, each using what they thought was the coolest move to greet Jirachi.

Marill was a bit timid, so it leaned against Ash's pant leg, cautiously watching Jirachi.

"Fun!" Jirachi was very happy, it wanted to treat the big folks to something to eat: "I'll treat you guys to something."

After saying that, Jirachi's body floated up, and the blue-green strips on its body flashed briefly.

Everyone looked at it, looked around, but it seemed there was nothing!

Shortly after, a grill appeared before them, along with some barbecue ingredients, and there was plenty of food cooking on the grill.

"Let's eat barbecue!" Ash picked up a skewer and handed it to others.

"Delicious, really delicious!" Brock thought it was delicious.

The taste was not bad..... Ash also took a bite, and saw on the grill a somewhat familiar-looking symbol.

That was the Team Rocket logo!

"Could these things belong to the Team Rocket Trio?"

Misty looked around, checking if the Team Rocket Trio was hiding in the dark.

"Who are they?" Jirachi asked, as it didn't know the Team Rocket Trio.

"They're bad guys, specializing in catching Poké Balls, you need to be careful from now on."

Xiaosheng scared Jirachi, then ate another skewer of barbecue, speaking unclearly: "The Team Rocket Trio's cooking skills are not bad; if they switched to the food business, that would be great!"

At that moment, the other side's Team Rocket Trio were dumbfounded—how did the grill disappear, and those ingredients too?

"Where's the grill?"

The trio stared at each other, eyes full of wonder, how could it vanish in the blink of an eye?

Now only Meowth had that skewer in hand... Wuzang and Xiaocilang exchanged a glance, seeing each other's meaning.

And Meowth suddenly felt uneasy: "What do you guys want, meow?"

"This skewer is mine, you're not allowed to steal it, meow!"

Meowth guarded its skewer, shouting loudly: "This is what I grilled, I haven't even eaten a few skewers yet!"

However, even though Meowth shouted loudly, Wuzang and Xiaocilang had no camaraderie, they started snatching the skewer from Meowth, even coming to blows.

The Black Light Screen unfolded two scenes: one showing the Team Rocket Trio fighting over the skewer, coming to blows; the other showing Ash and his group having a barbecue feast with the Poké Balls.

One side had three people fighting over a single skewer, the other side had several people and many Poké Balls feasting heartily—quite two extremes.

【Wuzang: Despicable and shameless, you little brat, you're even stealing our barbecue!】

【Xiaocilang: Even if the mission failed, that's fine, but you're bullying us even over a meal of barbecue—this is going too far!】

【Meowth: You two are still bullying me, meow.】

【Ash: Cough cough, that's all Jirachi's doing; I didn't expect it to take food not from the stall owner's snacks but your barbecue—I see you guys eating it quite fragrant... your cooking skills are not bad!】

That's my barbecue skill not bad..... Meowth got upset and started arguing with me again, but there's nothing to do—it's Black Satoshi's fault, yet they blamed Black Satoshi's actions on White Satoshi.

Next time we meet, we must properly deal with Ash—new and old grudges all counted together!

Black World—

Absol rushed up to everyone, and Keldeo knew it; Absol was preparing to come over and fetch it to Farnes.

It came over to warn that a disaster was going to happen, right...... Ash knows Absol can sense disasters; now Absol wants to take Keldeo away—could it be that it sensed the Magma Team would use Keldeo to create a disaster?

At that moment, Butler and Diane also arrived here, sending out Violent Flying Dragon to attack Absol.

"Absol is a disaster beast; wherever it appears, disaster will occur."

Violent Flying Dragon gathered dragon-type energy in its mouth, forming a brilliant, dazzling beam that it fiercely sprayed at the agilely leaping Absol.

Absol leapt about, launching a counterattack, using Air Slash against Violent Flying Dragon, while the momentum of Dragon Pulse did not weaken, still blasting toward Absol.

"Latias, Dragon Pulse!"

The invisible Latias also used Dragon Pulse, blocking Violent Flying Dragon's attack.

"Absol is not a disaster beast; it has the ability to foresee disasters."

Ash looked at Butler: "It's where you appear that disasters happen, right?"

"I said it's correct, Magma Team!"

Butler's pupils dilated, his expression shocked, he calmly said: "How did you know we're the Magma Team?"

At the same time, the Magma Team members hidden in the dark came out, still in clown costumes, each releasing a big wolf dog.

"Don't waste words with him; if soft doesn't work, go hard."

"I think their Poké Ball are not bad either; might as well snatch all those Poké Ball."

Several clowns thus planned it, saying it out loud.

The next second, they felt their bodies suddenly unable to move, gradually floating up.

"What's going on?"

"How am I flying and can't move!"

Butler saw several clowns floating, knowing it was the Poké Ball's psychic ability, but when he looked toward Ash's side, he didn't see any Poké Ball using psychic ability; instead, he saw white energy emanating from Ash's eyes—truly psychic light.

He's a psychic!

Ash smashed several of them to the ground, unleashing Wave Guiding Power, an invisible wave of energy radiating from his body.

"Pikachu, 100,000 Volts!"

"Latias, Psychic!"

Pikachu instantly knocked out one big wolf dog, while Latias took control of another big wolf dog and hurled it at the several big wolf dogs also charging over.

"Come on, while Keldeo isn't yet proficient with its power, snatch it back!"

Butler released his own Electivire, his face gradually darkening.

This time he absolutely cannot fail again!
