Machoke has evolved into Machamp, and Gary is also planning to go to Johto Region to challenge Silver Conference.
Although the time may be a little early, if you collect all the badges early, you can go to Mahogany Town and wait.
One hour later...!
Moltres arrived at Pallet Town.
"Is that... Team Rocket?"
From a distance, Professor Oak's Laboratory was covered by a beige leather cover, and there was a Meowth-style hot air baloon above the leather cover, and there was a hook on the leather cover [hanging on the hot air baloon.
Ash is back?
Gary thought of Ash. Anyway, where Ash is, the three members of Team Rocket must be there.
Even if Gary tried to put the three members of Team Rocket in prison many times, they could somehow escape and return to Ash again.
"Moltres, let's go." Gary said.
Moltres immediately flew towards Professor Oak's Laboratory.
Gary was very confused. How could the Pokémon in the Laboratory not notice such a big leather cover?
Moltres arrived at Professor Oak's Laboratory very quickly. There was no Pokémon on the grass around. It seemed that Professor Oak had put all the Pokémon into the Poké Ball, which allowed Team Rocket to get the Pokémon.
"Moltres, use Air Slash to attack the leather cover." Gary ordered.
"Ah!!"
Moltres flapped Dual Wingbeat, hitting countless wind blades, "Swish! Swish! Swish!" The wind blades easily tore the leather cover open, completely exposing Professor Oak's Laboratory.
At the same time, in front of Professor Oak's Laboratory, Ash and his team were confronting the Rocket trio, and Professor Oak was there. Ash and his team were in a very bad condition.
Muk fell asleep, and Pikachu and Ash were tied up with a rubber rope, so Ash could not release other Pokémon.
But as the leather cover fell off, Ash and the Rocket trio were all startled.
"Moltres, Flamethrower!" Gary ordered.
"Ahhh!!"
Moltres spit up flames at the Rocket trio, and the merciless flames instantly engulfed Lickitung and Victreebel, and the two Pokémon were severely injured with just one move.
[LV40 Victreebel3/Gym]
[LV42 Lickitung3/Gym]
The two Pokémon of the Rocket trio have low potential, and are only at the gym level. Ash was too careless to be defeated by them.
"Damn, it's Gary again"
"Meowth, do you have any weapons?"
"No, meow!"
The Rocket trio suffered a lot at the hands of Gary, but they didn't expect that they would be stopped by Gary at the critical moment today.
"You are so brave that you dare to come here to steal Pokémon." Gary said coldly.
"Meowth, go and use Crazy Fury Swipes. " Jessie ordered.
"Meow!! I..." Meowth was speechless. He couldn't catch it even if he wanted to. Didn't he see Moltres was in the sky?
" Fire Blast!" Gary didn't bother to talk nonsense with these three guys. Moltres Spit Up and burst into flames.
Boom!!
Fire Blast exploded, turning the Rocket trio into meteors in the sky again and disappearing into the distant horizon.
After driving the Rocket trio away, Moltres also landed. Gary looked at Ash and others who were trapped by the rubber ropes and threw a Poké Ball casually, "Release the Mantis.
" Scizor, go and cut the rubber ropes that tied everyone up." Gary said.
"Che"
Scizor nodded, ran to Professor Oak first, untied Professor Oak, and then untied Ash and the others.
"Grandpa, are you okay?" Gary asked.
"It's okay. Fortunately, you came back in time. "Professor Yinmu said thankfully.
"Grandpa, please put some Pokémon outside next time. Otherwise, if this happens again, I won't be around. What can I do?" Gary said.
"You're right. Put some Pokémon outside next time." Professor Oak agreed.
Professor Oak didn't expect the Rocket trio to suddenly attack, so he couldn't react in time. If it was a fair fight, Professor Oak wouldn't be afraid of the Rocket trio.
"And Ash, how come you can't even beat the Rocket trio? You're so disappointing." Gary criticized.
Gary originally thought that the Pokémon of the Rocket trio were so strong, but it turned out to be just gym potential. The key point is that the Rocket trio didn't even make robots this time. "They just used a few rubber ropes to deal with them.
"I was careless. If it was a fair fight, the Rocket trio would not be my Rival." Ash said unconvinced.
"You're talking about fair fight with the Rocket trio, it's funny. " Gary complained: "Look carefully, those people are all bad guys."
Ash: "em...!"
Seeing Ash silent, Gary looked at Misty and others, and when he saw Xiaogang, he was surprised: "Hey, Xiaogang, aren't you in Professor Nei Mu's Laboratory? Why are you here?"
"`"Don't ask anymore.
Xiaogang's whole person suddenly hid away gloomily, his body curled up, as if he had suffered a huge blow.
"What happened to him?" Gary asked puzzledly.
"This... Gary, don't say it." Misty said.
"Okay." Although I am very curious about what Xiaogang experienced in Professor Nei Mu, it shouldn't be a big deal. It feels like a broken heart at most.
" Gary, let's have a Pokémon showdown. " Ash suddenly said.
Gary was a little confused about Ash's sudden challenge. He didn't understand where Ash's confidence came from. Although Ash successfully defeated Drake, there was still a big gap between him and Gary in terms of record.
"Are you sure you want to fight me?" Gary asked.
"Of course, I decided before that I would challenge you once after defeating the Orange Alliance." Ash said.
The defeat at the Indigo Plateau Conference did not hit Ash. Ash just knew that the gap between him and Gary (Wang Li) was too big, so he had been forbearing. When he decided to challenge the Orange Alliance, Ash decided to challenge Gary once after challenging the Orange Alliance.
Ash came to Professor Oak today, in addition to visiting his Pokémon, he also heard that Gary was back and wanted to challenge Gary.
As a result, when he arrived at Professor Oak's Laboratory, he learned that Gary was away on a long trip, and he was immediately disappointed. Now that Gary is back, he naturally can't let Gary go.
"Okay, then I'll have a duel with you, just 1 on 1. " Gary said.
So the duel between the two began. Professor Oak and the others were also quite curious. After all, it had been three months since the Indigo Plateau Conference. They were all curious about the gap between Ash and Gary now.
The two came to the open grassland.
[Ding! Task released: Defeat Ash again/Reward: Bronze Crown X1!]
The system suddenly released a task.
Gary was stunned..
