Chapter 32: Take Down Rico

---

Facing the violent sandstorm, Gary had a corresponding countermeasure.

Before Rico could be happy for a while, he shouted to the Blastoise trapped in the sandstorm.

"Blastoise, use [Rain Dance]()!"

As two azure energy balls broke away from the two cannons behind Blastoise and exploded in the air, a small dark cloud appeared in the sky, instantly covering the area where the sandstorm was.

After just a few seconds, drops of rain poured out from under the dark cloud, bringing all the flying sand to the ground.

Tyranitar's sandstorm was also quickly completely broken by Blastoise's [Rain Dance] move.

"What!"

After seeing this scene, Rico immediately showed an incredulous expression.

However, Gary would not give Rico time to be shocked. He took advantage of his dazed state to give Blastoise the next order.

"Blastoise, [Hydro Pump]!"

With Gary's big hand wave, a torrent of water sprayed out from the cannons and went straight to Tyranitar on the opposite side.

Tyranitar also wanted to dodge, but the [Hydro Pump] came too suddenly, so Blastoise's [Hydro Pump] hit Tyranitar without any hindrance.

The water-type move was also a huge damage to Tyranitar, who had the rock type. Tyranitar was also forced back several meters by the fierce water column before it stopped.

After seeing this scene, Rico knew that with Tyranitar's strength, it was no match for Blastoise at all.

After his eyes rolled slightly for a while, he thought of a good idea.

Then, Rico began to command Tyranitar, who had not lost its combat ability, to launch the next wave of attacks.

"Tyranitar, [Dark Pulse]!"

Tyranitar also regrouped, quickly gathering dark energy, and then used the [Dark Pulse] move on Blastoise.

The purple-black beam rushed straight towards Blastoise.

"Flash Cannon!"

Similarly, Blastoise also immediately used Flash Cannon to counterattack, and the two moves, one black and one white, clashed in mid-air.

However, just as the two moves had just met, Rico also started his little tricks, trying to take out a Poké Ball secretly while Gary was not paying attention, preparing for a sneak attack.

However, what he did not notice was that Rosa, who was standing next to him, had seen what he did at this time.

When Tyranitar was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Blastoise, Rico decisively threw out the Poké Ball in his hand and released another Pokémon, a level 51 Fearow.

"Fearow, use Drill Peck!"

So when Gary was not paying attention, the Fearow used Drill Peck and attacked Gary's Blastoise.

But before the Fearow attacked the Blastoise, a crisp voice sounded in Gary and Rico's ears.

"Unfezant, use Quick Attack!"

A white light flashed through the vision of Gary and Rico in an instant, and hit the Fearow who was also unaware. The Fearow was knocked away by the impact on the spot.

And because of the distraction of his attention, the [Dark Pulse]() of Tyranitar was also defeated by Blastoise's Flash Cannon, and Tyranitar was also forced back a few steps by the aftermath of the Flash Cannon.

"How could it be?"

When Rico saw that his little action was interrupted, he was also incredulous for a while.

"I have been watching you all the time, and your little action has not escaped my eyes."

At this time, Rosa also came out from behind Gary and said with a smile.

"It's you!"

Rico also looked at Rosa next to Gary with a fierce look.

"Yes, it's me."

After hearing this, Rosa also straightened her chest and said proudly.

"Well done!"

Gary also gave Rosa a thumbs up for her behavior just now.

"It's okay."

Being praised by Gary, Rosa also responded happily.

"Okay, it's time to give them the last blow."

After praising, Gary looked at Rico's two Pokémon, and then said to Rosa.

"Okay."

After Rosa agreed, Gary and Rosa immediately commanded Blastoise and Unfezant to launch the final offensive.

"Blastoise, Unfezant, use Hyper Beam!"

After Gary and Rosa looked at each other, they gave the same command in unison.

As soon as the two finished speaking, two beams of orange light aimed at Tyranitar and Fearow, tearing through the air and rushing over.

The final result was no surprise. Under the attack of two powerful Hyper Beams, both Tyranitar and Fearow fell to the ground with wounds and lost consciousness.

"How could this happen?"

As for Rico, he looked dazed and depressed after the two Pokémon were defeated.

Gary also took this opportunity to tie Rico up tightly with Blastoise using a strong rope.

Rosa used the Poké Ball to retrieve the incapacitated Tyranitar and Fearow, and locked the Poké Balls.

At this point, Rico, the Pokémon poacher who had been rampant for a long time, was defeated and captured by Gary and Rosa.

"Okay, the next step is to notify the local Officer Jenny."

After everything was ready, Gary took out his cell phone and contacted the local Officer Jenny.

After learning that the evil Rico was caught, Officer Jenny immediately hung up the phone and led the team to where Gary was.

Just a few minutes later, Officer Jenny brought a team of police officers to where Gary and Rosa were.

After seeing the tied-up Rico, Officer Jenny and the others were also surprised, but with good professional qualities, they saluted Gary and Rosa to express their gratitude.

"Thank you for helping to catch Rico, the wanted criminal."

"You're welcome, this is what we should do."

Faced with Officer Jenny and the others' thanks, Rosa smiled and waved her hand, saying.

After handing Rico to Officer Jenny and the other police officers, Gary followed them to the police station to make a record, detailing some of the circumstances at the time.

Of course, in addition to making a record, Gary and Rosa also received an unexpected reward, which was the bounty for the poacher Rico.

In this way, after completing all the affairs that the police station needed to handle, Gary and Rosa left the police station with a full load, and then continued their journey in Petalburg Woods.
