Chapter 185: Help? Help Who?

In the dense forest on the edge of the wetland, the atmosphere was already tense.

Yamato crossed her arms, looked up and down at the three people and one cat opposite, her brows twisted into a knot, her tone full of disgust: "Musashi, Kojiro, Meowth? How could you three be here!"

"We should be the ones asking that!" Musashi jumped in anger, hands on hips and glared. "The Dratini and Dragonair in this wetland were clearly discovered by us first, you actually ran over to steal business!"

"So what if you discovered it first?" Kosaburo pushed his non-existent glasses, his tone carrying undisguised mockery. "A bunch of idiots who were beaten by a few brats and ran around everywhere, also deserve to talk about 'discovery rights'? If it weren't for your incompetence in handling things and messing up, how could the headquarters send us to clean up the mess!"

"What did you say!" Kojiro immediately stepped forward, protecting Musashi behind him. "We were just momentarily negligent! You might not be able to achieve anything either!"

Meowth also arched his body, baring his teeth at Yamato and Kosaburo: "That's right! Dare to look down on our Team Rocket trio, watch out for Meowth's claws!"

Both sides were tense, and it looked like they were going to have internal strife on the spot, when a furious shout suddenly came from afar: "Yamato, Kosaburo, where the hell are you two hiding! Hurry up and come over to support!"

This shout was like a thunderclap, instantly pulling the few people in the confrontation back to reality.

Yamato and Kosaburo looked at each other, their eyes flashing with impatience, but they didn't dare to disobey Namba's order.

"Hmph, I'll let you off this time!" Yamato snorted coldly, turned and ran quickly toward the camp.

Kosaburo also glared fiercely at Musashi's trio, and walked quickly to keep up with Yamato's pace.

Musashi, Kojiro, and Meowth looked at each other, their faces full of unwillingness, but they couldn't swallow this breath.

"Damn it, actually being looked down upon by those guys Yamato and Kosaburo!" Musashi gritted her teeth.

"But Dr. Namba seems to be in trouble..." Kojiro touched his chin.

Meowth rolled his eyes and immediately suggested: "No matter what, go see the situation! If we can take the opportunity to snatch back Dratini, wouldn't it be sitting back and reaping the benefits, Meowth!"

"Good idea!" Musashi and Kojiro said in unison.

The three and one cat immediately followed behind Yamato and Kosaburo, sneaking and running toward the camp.

Yamato and Kosaburo ran back to the camp panting, and saw at a glance Dr. Namba, whose face was iron-blue and surrounded by Huo La's Pokémon, and the Team Rocket grunts scattered around.

"You two idiots, where did you go to slack off! Hurry up and come over to help!" Dr. Namba saw the savior and roared immediately.

Yamato and Kosaburo didn't dare to delay, and immediately took out Poké Balls: "Go, Raticate, use Super Fang!"

"Meowth, go, Fury Swipes!"

Two red lights flashed, a sturdy Raticate and a Meowth with oily fur landed, and immediately launched an attack toward the Pokémon group surrounding Namba.

"Move aside!" Huo La's eyes sharpened, and he ordered immediately.

His Pokémon understood, instantly letting out a narrow opening, Raticate and Meowth followed the suddenly opened opening and rushed straight toward Dr. Namba who was surrounded in the center!

"Click—!" Raticate bit Dr. Namba's calf hard, and the sharp teeth directly penetrated his pants.

"Swish, swish, swish!" Meowth's Fury Swipes were also merciless, and three bloodstains instantly appeared on Namba's face.

"Ah—! You two idiots!!!" Dr. Namba screamed in pain, jumping and roaring, "I told you to attack those brats' Pokémon! Not attack me!!!"

Yamato and Kosaburo were also stunned, hurriedly rushed forward: "Raticate, let go quickly!"

"Meowth, wrong target!"

The two took advantage of the opening left by the Pokémon and hurriedly ran to Dr. Namba's side, but before they could stand firm, Huo La's Pokémon immediately closed the encirclement again, surrounding Namba, Yamato, and Kosaburo in the center, the situation was even trickier than just now.

And in another corner of the wetland, Musashi, Kojiro, and Meowth were hiding in the grass, watching this farce with great interest.

Kojiro poked Musashi's arm and asked in a low voice: "Should we go help? Dr. Namba and the others seem to be unable to hold on."

"Help? Help who?" Musashi rolled her eyes, her tone disdainful. "Help that Namba who only knows how to roar, or help those two annoying ghosts Yamato and Kosaburo?"

Kojiro was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Otherwise? Aren't we also Team Rocket?"

"Idiot!" Meowth licked his paws and explained, "Musashi means, if we help Dr. Namba, even if we catch Dragonair and Dratini, the credit will be snatched by Yamato and the others, and we won't get anything, Meowth!"

"That's the logic!" Musashi nodded, her eyes staring at the battle situation. "And look at that brat Huo La, actually defeating Namba's Electabuzz, compared to those two idiots Yamato, I actually find him more pleasing to the eye!"

"I also don't want to help Yamato and Kosaburo, they even mocked us for incompetence before." Kojiro said resentfully. "But if Dr. Namba loses, the organization won't be able to get Dragonair and Dratini."

"If we can't get it, we can't get it!" Musashi waved her hand indifferently. "Anyway, it's not our mission. Besides, watching Yamato and the others eat sh*t, isn't it more interesting?"

The three and one cat reached a consensus, continued to hide in the grass and became onlookers, while watching the Namba trio who were in a mess in the encirclement, while whispering and complaining, without any intention of helping.

"Dr. Jinbo, now that things have come to this, you'd better surrender." Huo La looked at the three who were surrounded, his tone carrying a bit of teasing.

"It's Namba! I am Dr. Namba!!!" Dr. Namba was called the wrong name again, furious, the veins on his forehead bulging.

But he quickly suppressed his anger, stared at Huo La gloomily, and spoke unkindly: "You are called Huo La, right? If I'm not mistaken, you are also from the organization!"

"What?!" Yamato and Kosaburo exclaimed, looking at Huo La in unison, their eyes full of suspicion—this kid looks young, actually also from Team Rocket?

"Don't talk nonsense, Dr. Jinbo." Huo La shook his head repeatedly, looking innocent. "I'm not from Team Rocket, just an ordinary Trainer traveling around. I don't admit to this framing."

"Hmph, being stubborn is useless." Dr. Namba grinned, revealing a bit of pride, his gaze precisely locked on the Muk not far away. "Although I haven't seen you, I remember that Muk of yours clearly—after all, it is a Pokémon that came out of my hands!"

"Since I've been recognized..." Huo La's eyes narrowed, and he stopped talking nonsense, ordering in a deep voice, "Venusaur, use Sleep Powder, knock them out!"

Venusaur received the order, its huge leaves waved violently, and the sky full of white sleep powder drifted down like snowflakes, precisely covering the three of Namba, Yamato, and Kosaburo. ===== CHAPTER 186 =====
