132. Beat Down

So Team Rocket set out to capture the Red Gyarados once again but this time the Rocket Trio was also with them!

They were able to detect the location of the red Gyarados at the bottom of the lake, but their equipment had trouble catching the Gyarados at the bottom, so they used the trio as cannon fodder to bait Gyarados and lure it up.

Not long after, Team Rocket sailed to the top of the red Gyarados. The trio put on their diving equipment that could communicate in the water and got ready to go down.

Jessie's expression was very serious, "You know what our job is? It's to lure that scary Gyarados to surface of the lake!"

They know that they have a heavy responsibility, and as long as they successfully complete it, they will be given a promotion by the Boss himself. They want to emphasize their strength to Giovanni and make his see that they were also very useful to him.

"Target Gyarados at depth 70 meters, self-assault!"

Once in the water, Jessie pointed her hand, and James seemed to be pumped and dived into the water normally, but found that she and Meowth didn't follow him at all!

"You two, why don't you move forward?" James also stopped and asked.

"We need to observe the combat area to make appropriate judgments!" Jessie and Meowth had no intention of going any further.

They were treated as cannon fodder by that stupid big guy Tyson, and Jessie and Meowth further treated James as their cannon fodder.

The three of them were about to start an argument when they noticed a pair of terrifying red eyes looming behind James.

That's what they're after, the giant red Gyarados!

"ROAR!"

Gyarados roared violently and attacked them in an instant. His bloody mouth seemed to want to swallow the group whole whole!

The trio struggled to stay afloat, and finally reached the surface. Gyarados also burst out of the water behind them, but he was still caught in the ambush that Team Rocket had prepared for him!

An electrified catching net trapped Gyarados and the trio at lightning speed.

Then the electricity was applied, sending Gyarados and the trio a powerful numbing sensation.

The trio was already used to being electrocuted by Pikachu, and sometimes Pikachu's Thunderbolt were even more powerful than this. So they developed a kind of resistance to being electrocuted.

But Gyarados has the Water-type and Flying-type, and the Electric-type is his biggest weakness. He was already in very much pain from all the experiments he was in before, and now he was finally completely paralyzed by the large amount of electricity that was getting inside his body.

"Gyarados is captured, it seems that those wastes can still be used in some way!" Tyson felt that he was really wise in his decision making.

"Okay, just take him back to the Laboratory directly!" Professor Sebastian said happily.

Team Rocket set out to drag Gyarados back to the Laboratory. Ash knew this so how could they succeed so easily?

"Drown them all, Rhydon! Use Surf!"

"Starmie, please help us out!"

Ash now has no water Pokémon with him, so he can only send out the wave-riding Rhydon. Seeing this situation, Misty also immediately sent her Starmie out for support. Although she is very afraid of Gyarados, she must help Ash in his ordeal.

The iron chain connecting the net and the boat cannot be cut off all at once. Rhydon and Starmie came to Gyarados' net and wanted to destroy the net and let Gyarados out!

But were was soon discovered by Tyson, "What is this?"

Tyson remembered Ash and his group on the shore at a glance, "Those little guys are here to hinder us again!"

"I see, in that case, let's scare them away!" Professor Sebastian ordered to turn on the evolution-promoting radio wave. Under the influence of this radio wave, Rhydon and Starmie suddenly showed a painful face, Starmie more than Rhydon.

Seeing that Rhydon was about to sink to the bottom of the lake, Ash quickly took out the Poké Ball and said, "Come back, Rhydon!"

A Rock-type and Ground-type Pokémon is not the best thing to be in water, "Thank you, Rhydon!"

Then, Ash looked at Lance on the boat, and Lance also looked over, and the two nodded at each other from a distance.

Now that their goal has been achieved, it was time to take action!

"Dragonite, go for it!"

"Meganium, blow them away!"

The petals were falling and the fragrance was overflowing everything near her!

Meganium completed her Bond Evolution at this moment once again and bloomed into a gorgeous flower! Under this form, Meganium was not at all affected by the evolution-promoting radio waves.

"Solar Beam!"

It was sunny at noon, and the Solar Beam was completed at an astonishing speed. In almost just a second, the energy from the sun blasted towards the Team Rocket ship!

And Lance had already piloted his Dragonite into the air, avoiding the attack, and then they used another attack from the sky, a Hyper Beam, which hit the ship together with the Meganiums Solar Beam!

"Nooo!"

The ship has been penetrated deeply and has already began to sink.

Tyson gritted his teeth and Professor Sebastian, who was supporting himself, looked at Ash and Lance in the air with hatred, "Those brats are so damn annoying!"

The Rockets have made already made a perfect preparations for emergency evacuation on the ship to ensure that they can escape smoothly in critical moments like this.

They were all well trained and quickly abandoned the boat in a hurry. Tyson took a rubber boat and came to Ash and his party's side again.

"Boy, I must give you a good beating this time around. Not only you but also your Pikachu and Meganium, I will capture them for the greater good of the organization!"

Behind Ash stood his Meganium, which was blooming like a huge flower. He didn't intend to pay attention to this big guy in front of him. Instead, he looked up at Lance, who was riding his Dragonite in the air. "Mr. Lance, I'll leave Rocket Hideout to you, I prefer doing this kind job over mass destruction!"

Hearing what Ash said, Lance laughed excitedly, "You alredy destroyed a lot of Team Rocket's bases, leave them to me to handle!"

With that said, Lance drove his Dragonite towards Team Rocket's base without any hesitation. The first target was the transmission tower that promoted the evolution of radio waves!

"No, that is Team Rocket's great plan. You can't just destroy my hard work!"

Seeing the Dragonite blasting towards the launch tower with a blast of Hyper Beam ready, Professor Sebastian finally changed his expression. He quickly commanded some of the Rocket Grunts, "Hurry, take Gyarados away from here!"

It doesn't matter if his secret testing base is destroyed. All experiments can be started from scratch even if it takes a long time. The most important thing now is the red Gyarados. This is the basis for all his subsequent future experiments, so he must not be taken!

Ash watched Gyarados being hung up on two helicopters with a net and taken away, "Ignoring the efforts of Pokémon or the Trainers, what kind of cruel thing is this?"

Ash was very angry from the moment he saw Gyarados' condition!

"Hmph, I will knock down anyone who dares to resist Team Rocket, kid, it's your turn!" Tyson actually threw three Poké Balls at once.

Then, three Fearow appeared and surrounded him.

"Use Wing Attack!"

Three Fearow came over with their Wing Attack, making the scene was scary enough.

"Don't think you could get away from us!"

"Get ready for trouble!"

Misty and Brock were about to take out their Poké Balls to join the battle, but Ash stopped them, "It's you who should be prepared for destruction!"

"Meganium, Sweet Scent! Now, Frenzy Plant!"

The sweet smell made the three Fearow and Tyson start to feel elated, and then thick vines rose from the deep ground, completely strangling them and making them lose their ability to fight.

"I will never give this Gyarados to you!" Ignoring Tyson, Ash quickly led his group and chased in the direction where Gyarados was being taken away by the two helicopters.
