"Yes, Dratini, just like that! Use Whirlwind!"
Xiao Zhi stood a distance away, giving commands. Dratini was getting stronger with each attack. Pikachu stood still, watching Dratini use its tail to kick up gusts of sand and stones.
(Dratini: Senior, why are you just watching!)
Whirlwind swept Ekans and Koffing into the air, leaving them completely unable to move.
Kojiro saw Koffing's terrified expression and said in disbelief, "No way, what's going on?"
"I don't know! Meowth, quickly think of something!" Musashi shook her head and hurriedly called out to Meowth to come up with a plan.
Meowth walked forward disdainfully. Dratini was currently controlling Whirlwind, so it had no spare energy to block Meowth's attack. Pikachu's Thunderbolt would also have to be careful of Dratini nearby, which would greatly reduce its power.
Therefore, Meowth believed that it was invincible!
"Meow haha, surrender!"
As soon as Meowth took a step, it felt a shadow fall over its head. The next moment, Meowth felt completely unable to move, as if something was pressing down on it.
The few people around looked over in unison and found that it was a Monferno!
Oh, Monferno, Monferno.
Compared to the previous Mankey, its limbs were now hairless and it wore black rings, its hands had become like gauntlets. Monferno's feet also resembled human feet, but with only two toes.
Its tail was gone, its eyes were reduced to a line, and a cross-shaped vein of anger constantly bulged on its forehead.
Xiao Zhi subconsciously pulled out his pokémon index: "Monferno, Mankey's evolved form. It's always angry."
Meowth, who was under Monferno, roared, "Let me go, Meow!"
No sooner had it spoken than Monferno indeed temporarily released Meowth. Before the opponent could get up, Monferno lifted Meowth high and leaped into the air at the same time.
The few people present saw Monferno spin several times in a unique posture. The circle revealed an Earth pattern, and Meowth felt dizzy and disoriented.
After Monferno continuously spun several times in the air, it suddenly slammed Meowth towards the ground. Meowth was so startled by the violent movement that it was unable to react for a moment.
Then, Meowth plummeted to the ground like a meteorite, its speed causing the surrounding air to emit a sharp whistling sound. The moment Meowth hit the ground, a huge cloud of dust instantly rose.
Musashi and Kojiro were about to take a step forward when they saw Ekans, Koffing, and Meowth all crashing towards them simultaneously.
As usual, in just a few chapters, Team Rocket Trio was about to be sent flying again.
Xiao Zhi looked at Team Rocket Trio soaring in the air and sighed with emotion, "As expected of Dratini, it took out two at once."
Li Qingfeng reminded him, "Xiao Zhi, pay attention to Monferno."
"Oh right, I forgot about it."
Xiao Zhi nodded, coming back to his senses. He looked at Monferno and found that the other party was also looking at him. He tried to get the other party to join his team: "Monferno, do you want to come with me?"
Monferno nodded, then stood a little further away. It had just avenged itself, plus Xiao Zhi had given it rice balls to eat, so it had a very good impression of the young man in front of him.
However, if he wanted to capture it, he had to show some strength!
"Alright, since that's the case, Charma… huh? Dratini, do you want to battle?"
Xiao Zhi had just taken out Charmander's poké ball when he saw Dratini's excited appearance. It was bouncing around, looking like it wanted to battle itself.
Xiao Zhi hung Charmander's poké ball back on his waist, then waved forward: "Dratini, I choose you! Use Whirlwind!"
Dratini's tail began to spin continuously, quickly forming a powerful Whirlwind. The storm kicked up flying sand and stones, and the air around Dratini became wild and restless.
Dratini aimed at the target and used all its strength to throw the powerful Whirlwind towards Monferno. The Whirlwind whistled as it sped away, its twisting force pulling everything around it into its grasp.
Monferno grinned and fearlessly charged into the Whirlwind. Immediately after, it broke through from the inside with overwhelming force and arrived in front of Dratini at an astonishing speed!
'So fast!'
Xiao Zhi secretly clicked his tongue. The next moment, he commanded again: "Use Slam to attack it."
Dratini extended its tail, wanting to coil around Monferno. But the opponent's strength was too great. As soon as Dratini wrapped around it, it was thrown high into the air.
Monferno leaped high into the air again, also circling a few times, preparing to use Earth Throw to slam Dratini to the ground.
Li Qingfeng analyzed the current situation: 'The power difference is too great. Perhaps some small tricks would be effective.'
'Mm.'
Xiao Zhi nodded. Seeing Dratini about to follow in Meowth's footsteps, he recalled that Dratini could use a move that would paralyze opponents, and quickly shouted: "Dratini, use Thunder Wave!"
Dratini closed its eyes, and a faint current emanated from its body, shooting towards the completely unprepared Monferno. The distance was too close. By the time Monferno reacted, it was already paralyzed.
The abnormal status prevented Monferno from using its moves, allowing Dratini to escape. Returning to the ground, it landed on a rock, preparing for its next attack.
The failure of Earth Throw made Monferno feel humiliated. It became incredibly enraged, looking like it was about to use a powerful ultimate move to deal with the slender Dratini.
Seeing Monferno in this state, Xiao Zhi decided to win with speed: "Dratini, use Extreme Speed to find an opportunity to attack."
Dratini nodded, seeing Monferno charging towards it. Its figure instantly transformed into a stream of light, gracefully weaving through the air.
The next moment, Dratini appeared behind Monferno. The opponent was still enraged because it couldn't find Dratini, unaware that danger was quietly approaching.
Dratini's speed was as strong as thunder, almost preventing Monferno from reacting quickly. Its movements were like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it seized the opportunity, crashing head-on into Monferno's head!
Monferno, hit squarely on the head, squatted down, clutching its head. This blow directly hit a vital point, leaving it unable to calm down for a long time.
'Oh? Isn't it the Move - Rage ability?' Li Qingfeng was a little surprised that no red light appeared on Monferno's body.
Monferno was about to get up and launch an attack, but a flash of electricity ran through its body, leaving it unable to move, giving Dratini an opening!
"Now's the time! Extreme Speed with maximum power!"
No sooner had the words fallen than Dratini's body began to emit a shimmering white light.
"Dra!" (Power!)
Dratini's voice echoed through the sky, and then it launched an attack on Monferno with lightning-fast speed.
As Dratini charged, its body actually became longer and longer. Xiao Zhi was also amazed by Dratini's state.
Seeing this, Li Qingfeng smiled slightly: 'Indeed, it has also reached this point.'
