When Brock, Misty, and Gary saw Xiao Zhi chasing after the Team Rocket Trio, they felt a sense of powerlessness.
They wanted to help, but there were so many Team Rocket members at the moment that even they would need a lot of time to fight them.
Brock looked around. Due to his physique, he could only release two Pokémon: "Geodude, use Tackle. Zubat, use Supersonic on those people."
Geodude saw a group of Pokémon attacking them from two sides, so it casually picked a Rattata and charged at it.
It has to be said that Brock's Pokémon were not to be trifled with; Geodude's powerful impact instantly knocked Rattata unconscious, making it lose its ability to battle.
Zubat emitted waves of sound, making the surrounding Pokémon dizzy. Brock watched this scene and nodded with satisfaction.
The quality of the Pokémon sent out by this group of Pokémon members was getting higher and higher. Misty frowned slightly and commanded, "Starmie, Staryu, quickly use Water Gun to defeat these Pokémon!"
Starmie and Staryu immediately obeyed Misty's command, opening their Water Guns and aiming at the attacking Pokémon.
Water Gun sprayed like rain, instantly soaking the entire area. The Pokémon were hit by Water Gun; some were directly washed away and fell to the ground, while others were drenched and at a loss.
Just kidding, my Starmie's level isn't high, but I can definitely defeat these minor characters!
"Facing this situation, how could I, young master Gary, not contribute?" Gary looked at the current situation on the field; these cannon fodder-like Pokémon were not worth his effort.
Soon, he saw an Arbok and a Geodude causing widespread destruction. Only then did he nod slightly and release Kadabra and Wartortle.
"Kadabra, do you see that Arbok? Use Psybeam on it. Wartortle, use Water Pulse on Geodude."
After hearing the command, Kadabra quickly raised the spoon in its hand, aimed at Arbok, and prepared to unleash Psybeam. It concentrated its internal energy, and the spoon began to emit a faint glow, gradually becoming brighter.
As the light intensified, a pinkish-white ray of light rapidly shot out from Kadabra's spoon, forming a slender beam.
Arbok was still immersed in the process of bullying weaker opponents, completely unaware that someone had begun to attack it. When Psybeam hit Arbok, its body was pushed backward as if struck, losing its balance.
Wartortle stood steadily, raising its hands. It took a deep breath, sensing the surrounding water-type energy.
As a clear stream flowed, a spinning water ball began to condense in its hands. This water ball spun at an astonishing speed, emitting a moist and cool aura.
Once the water ball formed, Wartortle raised its hands high and stretched its body, ready to unleash Water Pulse.
The water ball flew from Wartortle's hands, rapidly spinning and accelerating forward like a blue lightning bolt. The speed of Water Pulse was astonishing, surging with immense power.
The arrival of Water Pulse made Geodude's expression sink. This was a water-type move, capable of easily defeating it!
Water Pulse was so fast that Geodude had just begun to move its legs, wanting to escape, when it was hit. Water Pulse impacted Geodude's body. The sound of water colliding with rock echoed through the banquet hall, filled with a sense of oppression.
For a moment, the banquet hall turned into a chaotic battlefield, with water raging, rocks shattering, and moves flying and intertwining.
The perspective shifts to the Team Rocket Trio.
They were fleeing, presumably choosing a suitable escape route. The trio muttered to themselves, "Things are bad. The best strategy of the thirty-six stratagems is to run. I'm sure the boss won't blame us!"
Xiao Zhi had already caught up at this point. He pointed at the Team Rocket Trio and shouted, "Where do you three think you're going to run to?"
Meowth saw the situation and ran ahead, not forgetting to remind the other two, "Things are bad, Meowth! Jessie, James, the Little brat is catching up! Run, Meowth!"
"Damn it, Little brat, can't you fight Team Rocket? Why are you chasing us... Oh, wait, we are also Team Rocket. Never mind then." James clutched the golden poké ball in his hand and ran wildly.
And indeed, their escape speed was incredibly fast; even Xiao Zhi had to spend time to catch up to them.
Just kidding, when it comes to escape techniques, their Team Rocket Trio can be said to be the best.
Jessie turned her head and saw Xiao Zhi still chasing them, frowning tightly: "Tsk, I won't fight you this time, Little brat. You should go back to the banquet hall! Don't chase us!"
Xiao Zhi quickened his pace and shouted, "No, I must bring you to justice!"
They chased all the way from the corridor to the kitchen on the basement floor. Only then did the Team Rocket Trio stop. They leaned against the stove, panting, and pointed at Xiao Zhi, saying, "Little brat... let us rest for a bit... then you can chase us again..."
Xiao Zhi's hands were on his knees. He was also a bit tired, and he said between gasps, "Team Rocket... why are you running?"
Jessie replied with difficulty, "That's naturally to escape on the lifeboat... Little brat, I estimate your companions have all been defeated by our subordinates. You should go back... What's happening?!"
Just then, the waves violently crashed against the ship, causing it to shake violently. This sudden impact made the stomachs of the people present churn.
The people in the banquet hall had just resisted Team Rocket's attack, and before they could celebrate, the waves extinguished their enthusiasm.
The captain had already lowered all the lifeboats into the sea, directing the sailors to arrange for the crew to go to the lifeboats.
"Where's Xiao Zhi? Has he not come back yet?" Misty couldn't help but worry about Xiao Zhi's current situation.
"Not yet, I'm afraid it's too late..." Brock shook his head. He was currently being pushed by the sailors and had no way to find Xiao Zhi.
"Trust him, because he is Xiao Zhi." Gary had just recalled his Pokémon. Although he said that, his face was full of worry.
Until they boarded the lifeboat, Xiao Zhi and the Team Rocket Trio also did not come out.
The captain was still comforting the crowd: "Is everyone alright? The closest city to us is Lampu Luji, and rescue will arrive soon! There's enough food here for us to live for a long time."
Gary listened to the captain's words and knew where the closest city was. He reached out and gripped his necklace, silently thinking, "Xiao Zhi, you must come back safely. We're waiting for you in Lampu Luji."
It will take about two days to reach that plot...
