I'm very sorry if this chapter didn't meet your expectations, I'm kind of sick.

So wish me luck.

"Tyranitar, Rock Slide!"

In response to Ash's anger, his Tyranitar roared in the sky, happy to oblige, created large portals of stone that fell from the sky and hit the three hunter brothers!

"Fire!"

Braggo knew that he they had to do something to stop this attack. But how could they match against Ash and all his Pokémon's?

Facing the large stone pieces that were falling from the sky, he just gave a faint order, and several artillery muzzles protruded from the machine.

Five rocket launchers were fired at the same time, actually braking the Rock Slide, and another rocket launcher hit Tyranitar.

It was the same rocket launchers that left cracks in the mother Tyranitars armor!

Seeing that his Tyranitar was in danger, Ash and his Latias's eyes flashed with blue light at the same exact time. They worked together to activate their Psychic and stopped the rocket launcher abruptly before it reached them.

However, the rocket launcher did explode nearby and the smoke filled the nearby area, obscuring everyone's vision.

At this moment, a siren sounded not far from the jungle.

"Boss, the Pokémon Protection Ranger is here! Lets run away quickly!"

The three hunter brothers made a prompt decision and stretched out their mechanical arms to capture the mother Tyranitar who was tied up tightly.

Before the smoke clears, they decided it would be best to just leave!

A powerful blue light shone in Ash's eyes. He waved his hand to disperse the smoke. He looked at the direction in which the three brothers were fleeing and gritted his teeth, "Damn it!"

The source of the siren came to Ash and his group, a young lady with a Croconaw, "What are you doing in the Pokémon Sanctuary? Normal people are not allowed to enter here, don't you know that?"

Ash's opened his eyes and looked at her, pushing away Brock who was about to approach her to show his courtesy, "Are you the Pokémon Ranger here, Miss Mason?"

The so-called Pokémon Protection Ranger is the manager of the Pokémon Sanctuary that is directly under the Alliance.

Normally, they all have good abilities that help them on their daily missions. Her Croconaw looks to be great in great shape from what he sees.

After receiving confirmation from her, he showed his Pokémon Investigator Badge that he received from Lance after he joined the Pokémon G-Men, "I am Detective Ash Ketchum, and I was entrusted by Professor Elm and Professor Oak to safely take this Larvitar to his home in the Mt. Silver Sanctuary!"

Seeing Ash's Badge, Ranger Mason directly confirmed Ash's identity and saluted him, "So it's you, Mr. Ketchum, I've heard about you. Is this the Larvitar?"

Ranger Mason looked at Larvitar who looked very depressed next to Ash, "Excuse me, what's wrong with it?"

"Larvitar's mother was just captured by a poaching group!" Misty replied angrily. "We had just fought with them because of this. They have strong firepower and are good at judging the situation. They had heard the sound of you coming and ran away immediately!"

Ash was ready to cooperate with Ranger Mason, "Mason, do you have any countermeasures against them?"

"These poaching groups are haunting the Pokémon living here and causing us great trouble. I really can't bear them anymore anymore!" But hearing what Ash, Ranger Mason said she had no solution against them as of yet.

Hearing this, Ash could only shake his head and looked at his Tyranitar and the sad Larvitar beside him, "Tyranitar, are you ready?"

Tyranitar nodded decisively and started moving!

On this Mt. Silver, Mama Tyranitar was at the top of the food chain, her mere existence here is that of a king in this protected area.

Larvitar are easily able to sense the breath of their parents from deep underground, and Ash's Tyranitars perception ability is also one of the strongest ones. From just here, Tyranitar has been taking Larvitar to pursue the breath of his mother!

Not far away, the three brothers appeared in front of Ash and his party again.

They did not stay in the machine, but stood on a hot Air Baloon, looking down at Ash and the others, with very proud faces. They let the machine stand in front of the group, almost like they didn't care that they were going to be besieged.

Mama Tyranitar, who was tied up so tightly that she could not move, was hung upside down on a hot Air Baloon, looking very weak right now.

Ash saw the skinny hunter Chico, a controller appeared in his hand, and with just a tap on it, the mechanical arm stretched out from the machine again, grabbing both Pikachu and Croconaw!

That poaching machine was a remote controlled one!

"Tch!"

Ash snorted coldly, "Destroy them, Hyper Beam!"

Tyranitar roared loudly, and the destructive light of her Hyper Beam hit the pair of mechanical arms hard, blasting them into multiple small pieces.

"Chico, hold them back!" The robot arm was destroyed, but Braggo did not seem to panic at all. They knew that Ash's strength should not be underestimated at all. If they continued to stay in this protected area, they would soon be hunted down by the higher ups of the Alliance.

Now they are using this poaching machine to hold Ash down, so as to create an opportunity for them to escape in their hot Air Baloon!

Such a hot Air Baloon will definitely be discovered immediately, but they still choose to take the initiative and prepare to escape in front of Ash and others in such a high profile!

"Okay then!"

Chico clicked again, and three rocket launchers shot at Ash and the others.

"Damn it!"

Ash, Misty, Brock, Molly had all seen the power of the incoming rocket launcher. They had to block this rocket launcher before, giving the three hunter brothers a chance to escape from them.

Not only that, but there are also the Tyranitar that they stole!

"Just right, thank you!"

However, Ash suddenly grinned, and Latias stood beside him, revealing her true form!

A blue light flashed in Ash's eyes, and the Pokémon net were restrained by him with their very powerful Psychic.

"TY!"

Tyranitar roared, and the stone pieces that appeared out of thin air fell one after another, forming rock walls in front of Ash and his party, forming the first line of protection for them!

Latias floated up in the air and opened a Safeguard, protecting everyone form the impact!

Pikachu jumped on Latias's back, and the terrifying electric current hit the three rocket launchers first!

The Pokémon united to block these three rocket launchers, but Ash controlled the Pokémon net and threw them at the three hunter brothers!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The three rocket launchers were detonated by Pikachu's Thunderbolt one after another, and the rock wall was blown into powder. The blast wind rushed towards everyone at the same time, but they were all protected by the Safeguard created by Latias!

A blue light once again flashed in Ash's eyes, and the Pokémon net were reflected back towards the three hunter brothers!

"What?"

The three brothers were so confused that they had no time to react before they were tied up in their own Pokémon net.

The remote control in Chico's hand fell down and was easily caught by Ash.

Tyranitar fired another burst of a mini Hyper Beam, blowing up their hot air baloon along with their plan to escape. There was no possibility of them being able to run away anymore. They fell down hard and hit the ground. The three of them immediately rolled into a ball.

"You three, you have been arrested for violating the Pokémon Protection Act."

Larvitar was finally reunited with his mother and ran into her arms and began to cry.

"Roar!" Ash's own Tyranitar came to them, Larvitar quickly came down and also hugged Ash's Tyranitar.

Ash told his Tyranitar to pick Larvitar up again, "Larvitar, you have to be braver in the future!"
