113. Da Baby

In the bay of that uninhabited island, a little boy about the same age as Molly was playing with a mysterious little Pokémon, there was also a Lanturn there playing alongside them.

Upon discovering Ash's group, the little boy immediately asked that Pokémon to hide to hide from them, "Silver, go to the other side and hide for now, it will be bad if someone finds you! Don't come out and don't make any noise or else they will take you away from here!"

Soon, Ash and his team plus Ritchie came to him, "Hello, little guy, we have something to ask you!"

"What's going on?" He pretended to be nonchalant and know nothing about what's happening or what's going to happen.

"Are you from here?"

"I live close to Ogi Isle, but I often come here to play! My name is Oliver, and this guy is my best friend, Lanturn!"

Lanturn is the evolved form of the Chinchou they saw back then in the competition. Compared to the black cross eyes during Chinchou's time, Lanturn's big red eyes are much cuter, and its body is also more streamlined and a bit more round, perfect for kids. It is one of yhe Water-type Pokémon that Misty likes the most and wants on her team.

"Hello Oliver, we are here to find clues about a mysterious Pokémon that was sighted around the Whirl Islands! Can you help us in our investigations?"

Hearing Ash's straightforward question, Oliver still looked very unnatural, and he hesitated and said, "Mysterious Pokémon? There is no such thing around here! Uou guys should leave!"

Molly and the others were a little disappointed. Brock then asked, "Excuse me, but have you seen any special thing here or just out of place?"

"Other than you guys being here, no, not really!" Oliver decisively gave a negative answer to Brock's question, and later added, "If there really was such a Pokémon here, it would have caused a big commotion by now!"

What he said is indeed correct, there would have been a big commotion if there was sometiing hidden here!

Hearing this, Ash nodded, "Sorry for disturbing you then, we will be leaving you to your own devices then. Bye."

After saying that, he turned around and left with his group plus the added Ritchie. When Oliver saw that these people were not suspicious and were already leaving, so he quickly turned around and swam elsewhere.

However, Ash, who had not gone far, stopped and said, "Let's go and follow that guy, quietly!"

How could Ash not remember this part of the show, this was one of the last things he watched from his original world.

Ritchie also agreed with Ash, Oliver was acting a little frightened and looked like he was scared of the group.

Children are children after all, and children more often than not are not good liers. And Ash could easily detect that Oliver was lying through his Aura powers. He realized that Oliver's emotions was going up and down while talking to him and Brock.

Ash took Meganium back to her Poke Ball, held Molly's hand, and quietly followed Oliver with his group without letting anyone notice they were following someone.

Sure enough, another Pokémon soon appeared next to Oliver and his Lanturn!

That was non other than the baby Lugia, Silver!

"Silver, you can't come out! What if someone sees you now?" Although Oliver was scolding him, it was the baby Lugia was rubbing the little boy's head. They seemed very close from what he sees.

"There's really nothing I can do about you, can I!"

Of course Oliver has no idea that this little Lugia not only fell into the eyes of Ash and his group, but also appeared in the footage of a group of bad guys' search team!

"This is Search Team C, Dr. Rambo, please answer quickly!"

Nobody realized or knows when and how a huge Rocket Team underwater base was established in the sea below Ogi Isle. The person in charge here is an old man with redish pink hair and with they same colored beard.

"My name is not Rambo, it's Namba!" The old man was very impatient when he heard that the people below him couldn't even pronounce his name clearly, such worthless grunts to have.

"Sorry, Dr. Ranbo, we discovered the Mysterious Pokémon X!" Immediately afterwards, their surveillance camera was switched to Dr. Namba!

"Mysterious Pokémon X, so it turns out to be a Lugia! And also for the last time, my name is not Ranbo or Rambo, it's Nambe" Although it is smaller than he expected it to be (it's all about the personality, not the size), Namba recognized the true identity of this Pokémon at a glance. "Unfortunately, this Lugia seems to be too small. Is it a child?"

"Dr. Sambo, what are we going to do with this Mysterious Pokémon X's capture plan?"

"It's not Sambo, it's Namba!!" Dr. Namba corrected him again angrily, and then said after being calmed by another of his subordinates, "First try to use Plan A to capture them!"

The Rockets immediately started taking action, suddenly jumping out of the sea, aiming their net guns at Oliver and the little Lugia, and then decisively shot and trapped the baby Lugia!

"And here comes the bad guys to ruin the fun!" Ash said to the group.

Ash had been hiding behind a rock and was continuing to watching them. When he saw something was going the wrong way, he jumped out immediately, "Pikachu, Iron Tail!"

"Pika!"

Pikachu's Iron Tail easily cut off the capture net and released the little Lugia back into the water. Then Oliver reacted and quickly escaped with the baby Lugia on his Lanturn!

As soon as he saw the large "R" on these people's clothes, Ash smiled, "It's Team Rocket again, you guys can really do anything to cause trouble for me, can't you?!"

Then the smile dropped, "Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"

Ash solved the two people who jumped out of the sea, but a submarine soon appeared behind Oliver and chased them at a fast speed!

"Oliver, come here quickly!" Ash shouted to loudly to Oliver. Fortunately, Oliver was willing to believe them and hurriedly swam over with the little Lugia with him. Unexpectedly, the baby Lugia's speed suddenly accelerated and was much faster than him.

Seeing Ash, the little Lugia seemed to have a very good impression of him and came over to him, and soon throwed itself into his arms feeling like there was a connection between them.

"How is this going?"

Before Ash could answer Misty's question, the submarine had already arrived at the shore and they were ready to catch Lugia.

"Who are you?" Oliver calmed down and asked fiercely!

"Since you sincerely ask me who we are!"

"Normally we won't answer this but I will let this slide!"

"That's why we are so kind to answer you!"

"Cassidy, Butch!"

"We are Team Rocket circling Earth day and night!"

"Surrender to us now or you'll surely lose ten fight!"

"Cassidy!"

"Butch!"

They are clearly members of Team Rocket, and they just happened to be the fierce rival of Jessie, James, and Mewoth!

"That baby Lugia, we have to get that! Give that to us and maybe we will let you off easy!" Cassidy pointed at the little Lugia in Ash's arms and shouted.

However, a smile appeared on Ash's lips, "So you say, apart from that idiot Giovanni, there is no one in the Rockets that I have to take seriously!"

Seeing the submarine release its catching net again, Ash threw out one of his Poké Ball, "Meganium, Razor Leaf!"

The huge blade flying knife easily chopped up the catching net. Seeing this, Cassidy and Butch threw their Poké Balls.

"Go ahead and beat them! Houndour, use Flamethrower!"

"Come on, Hitmontop! Use the Rolling Kick!"

Raging flames shot out of Houndours mouth, followed by the Fighting-type attack, but Ash was not worried about Meganium at all, "Destroy everything in front of our path!"

"Frenzy Plant!"

As early as the Royal Starter Pokémon's evolved into their final form, another training plan made by Ash for them was already on the agenda!

This Mega Move can only be learned by the finally evolved Starters!

Grass-Type's Plant Frenzy, Fire-Type's Blast Burn, and Water-Type's Hydro Cannon! These moves must be taught by someone very experienced in this world, but Ash is a person with a System to help him!

The system can redeem professional teaching plans, allowing Ash to teach by himself, with teaching and training included.

Meganium has been following Ash for a long time, and she was also the first to learn how to use this Mega Move!

Thick tree roots crazily popped out of the sea water, not only tying up the two Pokémon, but also piercing the submarine, completely making it useless and unable to be used again again unless somehow being fixed.
