Chapter 674

"Bastard, let me go!"

The boy wearing a hat glared at the Team Rocket grunt who had restrained him with a mysterious metal ring.

Logically, the yellow electric mouse that usually rode on his shoulder was nowhere to be seen at this moment.

No matter how he struggled, his strength, which could originally lift the trunk of a large tree, could not break free from this gray metal ring made of an unknown material.

No one saw that a look of visible worry suddenly flashed across the bottom of the angry boy's eyes.

Pikachu...... was still waiting for him inside the Tree of Beginning.

"Just stay here nicely." A cold male voice rang out, the tone filled with mockery.

With a thud, the hat-wearing boy...... namely Ash, was roughly thrown by the grunt in the black Team Rocket uniform into a fine iron cage made of special material.

"Ash!"

The bronze-skinned, squinty-eyed young man who had been thrown into the iron cage long ago helped Ash up with a worried look. He also had a metal ring restraining his upper body, and he could only move his hands by twisting his wrists with great effort.

"Thank you, Brock......" Ash first thanked Brock, then stood up with a kip-up; fortunately, his feet were not restrained.

Ash slammed into the iron cage fiercely and said angrily, "Hey, you bad guys, let us out now!"

Hearing this, the Team Rocket grunt stopped his departing steps and said with a face full of mockery, "Ah, of course we'll let you out."

Before Ash could truly believe his nonsense, the Team Rocket grunt sneered, "But you'll have to wait until we, Team Rocket, have drained the energy of the Tree of Beginning. When it's about to be destroyed, if I can still remember you, maybe I'll come over and let you go?"

"Maybe? Hahahaha!"
