Chapter 183: Car God Kaiser

The patrol car continued to penetrate deep into the Safari Zone, and the scenery outside the window became more and more primitive and dense.

The Pokémon originally scattered in different habitats appeared one after another, Pidgey circled in the air, Rattata darted out of the grass, and Stantler like small deer could be seen in the distant forest, the variety was so rich that people were overwhelmed.

"Truly worthy of being the Kanto Safari Zone!" Brock leaned on the car window, full of admiration. "Pokémon from all over Kanto go without saying, but even varieties from other regions can be seen, it's incredible."

"This is normal." Kaiser held the steering wheel, his tone carrying a bit of pride. "The Safari Zone was originally a Pokémon Sanctuary, and later it was reformed into this kind of large mixed-living ecological model. Not only Kanto has it, but the Safari Zones in other countries and regions are all learned from us."

Huo La nodded, agreeing in his heart.

In his memory, the concept of the Safari Zone in the Pokémon world did indeed originate from Kanto.

"I say, don't you have any Pokémon you want to catch on the spot?" Kaiser suddenly asked, his gaze sweeping over the two in the rearview mirror.

Huo La thought for a moment and responded: "No, Mr. Kaiser. It's more important to see Dratini and Dragonair. Catching Pokémon is not urgent, there will be plenty of time later."

Kaiser didn't say anything more, just nodded gently, turned the steering wheel, and moved forward steadily toward the wetland.

But just after passing through a dense forest, a dull mechanical roar suddenly came from afar: "Boom, boom... boom, boom, boom..."

The sound became louder and louder, breaking the tranquility of the wilderness.

Bilan frowned and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Kaiser, is your Safari Zone under construction? Why is there such a loud noise?"

Kaiser's expression sank instantly, and he shook his head: "It's not the sound of the Safari Zone, we don't have any renovation plans at all." He suddenly reacted, his eyes becoming sharp: "Not good!"

Before the words fell, Kaiser slammed on the accelerator, the patrol car instantly accelerated, and the tires rubbed against the gravel road, making a harsh friction sound.

"Sit tight!" He reminded in a deep voice, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, and the car galloped toward the wetland—that area was exactly the habitat of Dragonair and Dratini.

Huo La's heart instantly rose to his throat, subconsciously rubbing his forehead—wouldn't it be so unlucky, just going to see Dratini and encountering trouble?

The patrol car slammed onto a low hill, and the moment it crossed the top of the hill, the scene of the wetland came into view.

Beside the wetland lake, which was originally lush with water plants and sparkling, a huge water pump was roaring, and thick pipes were constantly pumping out the lake water and discharging it into the gullies in the distance.

The lake, which was once enough for Dragonair to live freely, was dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Huo La squinted and looked, several black-clothed figures with a striking "R" emblem embroidered on their chests were busy beside the water pump; they were Team Rocket members!

He looked at Brock and Bilan, and their eyes were full of doubt and anger.

How long has it been, Team Rocket actually set their sights on the Dragon-type Pokémon here again, and even wanted to force out Dragonair and Dratini by pumping water!

"Damn Team Rocket!" Kaiser gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, his expression angry to the extreme. "Hold on tight! I'm going to crash directly and drive these bastards away!"

Before the words fell, he slammed on the accelerator again, and the patrol car rushed toward the wetland like an arrow off the string, the roar of the engine drowning out the noise of the water pump, carrying an unstoppable momentum.

Seeing this, Huo La hurriedly tightened his seat belt and grabbed the car handle with both hands.

Mr. Kaiser's approach was reckless, but at this moment, all he could do was protect himself as much as possible.

"Stop that car!"

"Don't let them come over!"

The Team Rocket camp beside the wetland instantly exploded, and the members screamed and threw out Pokémon one after another—Ekans, Koffing, Magnemite appeared one after another, trying to form a defensive line to block the patrol car.

Unexpectedly, Kaiser's driving skills were quite good. Facing the incoming Pokémon and Team Rocket's encirclement, he slammed the steering wheel, and the car dodged left and right, forcibly breaking a path through the gaps, and was about to rush to the huge water pump.

"You bunch of trash!" A thick and angry voice suddenly sounded. "Electabuzz, use Thunder Punch!"

As soon as the words fell, an Electabuzz wearing a special black device on its head walked to the water pump, its thick arms crackling with electric light.

It raised its fist and slammed it hard into the ground in front of the patrol car!

The dazzling electric light instantly erupted, and the strong current spread along the ground, precisely hitting the galloping patrol car.

"Bang!" The engine cover of the patrol car exploded on the spot, rolling smoke soared into the sky, and the car instantly lost control, sliding a long mark on the ground.

Kaiser gripped the steering wheel tightly, stepped on the brake to the limit, and the car finally stopped a few meters in front of the water pump, completely stalled, emitting rolling smoke.

The surrounding Team Rocket members saw this, immediately brought their Pokémon and surrounded them, surrounding the patrol car.

A command sound suddenly came from inside the car: "Nidoqueen, Earthquake!"

As soon as the words fell, a huge Nidoqueen rushed out, its thick limbs stomping hard on the wetland ground, and the ground instantly began to shake violently.

The Team Rocket members and their Pokémon who had gathered around instantly lost their footing and fell to the ground one after another.

Immediately after, another command sounded: "Onix, Dig!"

Everyone only felt the ground under their feet start to bulge, a crack quickly extended toward the water pump, and through the crack, a huge figure could be vaguely seen moving quickly underground.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, Onix broke out from under the water pump, pushing the water pump that was originally fixed on the ground high up.

Almost at the same time, Huo La decisively ordered: "Beedrill, Scyther, Zubat! Air Slash, destroy the water pump!"

The three Pokémon immediately spread their wings and flew high, flying toward the pushed-up water pump at high speed.

They used Air Slash at the same time, countless sharp air blades slashed toward the water pump one after another, the water pump was cut open in response, parts scattered all over the ground, and stopped working.

"Good, very good!" The thick voice that commanded Electabuzz carried monstrous anger, squeezing out from behind the chaotic crowd. "I want to see who dares to ruin Team Rocket's business!"

The thick smoke from the patrol car gradually dissipated, and the figures of the four people in the car were finally clearly revealed.

Mr. Kaiser had already fallen into a coma due to the impact and electric current, leaning weakly against the driver's seat;

Huo La, Brock, and Bilan were also carrying abrasions, their clothes a bit messy, clearly having suffered no small impact in the surprise attack just now.

Huo La looked up at the owner of the thick voice, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, clearly taken aback—the person in front of him was really familiar.

He was a bald man, with only a few wisps of pinkish-brown hair remaining above his ears; beneath his nose sprouted a pair of matching short mustaches. His appearance was somewhat bizarre, yet he carried an undeniable sense of oppression.
