Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master.

Chapter 190 Not Xiaoyou's Team Rocket Captain, Agarwood

Chapter 190 Captain Lily of Team Rocket, Not Yuuka

To prevent Chikorita from escaping, Ash approached slowly, taking small steps at a time.

But the other party was very vigilant and immediately noticed the person with ill intentions. He got up from the grass and stared at Xiaozhi with a wary look.

Moreover, it struck first, using Razor Leaf on Ash.

"Since we've been discovered, there's nothing we can do about it!" Ash also sent out his Fire-type general.

"I choose you, Charizard."

As soon as the Charizard landed, it sent the little radish-headed girl flying.

Judging from their size, this was a battle with a huge disparity in strength.

But the chrysanthemum leaf on the other side did not run away; instead, it bravely fought back with great spirit.

"whisper!"

Chikorita gritted its teeth and used all its strength to unleash a charge, but the move had little effect. Its charge was easily blocked by the old man who simply raised a foot, leaving it bored and wanting nothing more than to yawn.

"There's really nothing interesting about this kind of match."

Xiaoxia felt a little sorry for Chicory Leaf in this situation.

"No, my intuition tells me this chrysanthemum leaf isn't that simple!"

For some reason, Ash really liked this Chikorita, especially its indomitable spirit.

"Get serious, Charizard."

Sure enough, Ash's Chikorita counterattack came right after he shouted.

Two vine-like whips extended from the dark green protrusion on its neck and swiftly struck the fire-breathing dragon's eyes.

"Roar?" Old Spitter was also careless and didn't dodge.

She covered her eyes with tears streaming down her face and screamed, then glared angrily at the chrysanthemum leaves.

"A great Pokémon with some interesting ideas, I like it."

"Charizard, get your act together! Use Jetfire!"

The opposite Chikorita swung the large leaves on its head, unleashing a Leaf Blade attack.

However, the difference in strength was too obvious. Those few small leaves were turned to ashes by Charizard's flames, and even the Chikorita leaves turned into charcoal in an instant.

Despite being hit by a powerful attack, Chikorita was able to stand up and continue to counterattack Charizard.

"They're really tenacious."

Then Chikorita was immediately sent flying by Charizard's tail whip, crashing into the rock wall behind it.

"Now's the time, go, Poké Ball!"

"whisper!"

Surprisingly, Chikorita, which was already severely injured, was still able to fight back. Despite the pain, it flicked the leaf on its head and sent Ash's Poké Ball flying.

"Is it so resistant to being captured?"

"Satoshi, if Chicory leaves keep pushing themselves like this, something bad will happen."

Ash had no choice but to temporarily give up on catching it.

He quickly grabbed the medicine and ran over, feeding the chrysanthemum leaf to its mouth.

After all, Ash cared more about the safety of Pokémon than catching them. Unexpectedly, Chikorita not only refused to drink it, but also bit Ash.

"That's just like Chicory Leaf, so stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat." "Ah, please leave this to me."

Just when Ash and his friends were at a loss for what to do, Nurse Joy suddenly spawned out of the bushes.

"This child always challenges opponents who are stronger than him, and his stubborn refusal to admit defeat always leaves him battered and bruised."

"It's quite famous in this area."

No wonder they're one of the starter families, yet they've been lying openly by the roadside sunbathing and haven't been captured yet.

Upon seeing the familiar Miss Joy arrive, Chikorita's attitude softened slightly, but her expression remained defiant.

Ash and Misty followed Nurse Joy back to the Pokémon Center for a temporary rest, taking advantage of the free Pokémon treatment.

This Pokémon Center is located beside a forest path and is a unique little house made entirely of wood.

It offers help to passing travelers and has a fairytale-like appearance that Xia likes very much.

Soon, Miss Joy came out of the emergency room, and Xiao Zhi quickly went to greet her.

"Miss Joey, how's the chicory leaf?"

"Don't worry, its injury will heal quickly."

"Being too stubborn isn't good either. Why does it have such strong hostility towards its trainer?"

"Could it have been released by a trainer before?" Satoshi thought instinctively, since he had encountered this situation far too often.

There are just too many irresponsible trainers.

This world is truly filthy, thought the chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) Satoshi.

"No, that's not it. This child has always been wild and his natural personality isn't that stubborn."

Just as Ash and his friends were still marveling at this moment, suddenly a giant steel hand ripped open the roof in the center.

"Who is it?" Miss Joey was a little dumbfounded.

In all her life, this was the first time she had ever seen a roof being ripped open by a giant iron man.

They rushed outside the center and saw a giant robot perched on the outer wall of the Pokémon Center.

Xiao Zhi immediately recognized the three-story-tall robot as belonging to Yamato and his friends.

The robot lifted the roof with one arm, and the other arm transformed into a giant vacuum cleaner, sucking all the Poké Balls temporarily stored in the Pokémon Center into the machine.

"Haha, since you're so sincere in asking what it is."

"Common sense wouldn't answer that."

"But we'll be especially kind in answering you!"

"We are Team Rocket, blasting through the universe!"

"A pink and peach-colored tomorrow awaits us!"

"Pot!"

"Are you two looking to die?!"

It really is Team Rocket, but this time they dared to be so audacious as to directly tear down the roof of the Pokémon Center, they seem to have had enough.

"It's Kosaburo!"

"We're not the Rockets we used to be."

With strong foreign aid this time, their confidence has returned.

Although I was badly beaten when we first met, I still have bruises on my face.

Seeing that the Poké Ball in the center had been almost completely absorbed, Yamad also discovered a Chikorita lying on the operating table.

They casually released a rope to tie them up and take them away, but Ash quickly intervened to stop them.

"I choose you, Circle Bear!"

"Use the hammer to break the legs of this machine!"

"Oh no, this won't do! We spent a lot of money to build this robot!" Yamado immediately called out to the big shot he had just latched onto over the loudspeaker.

"I'm counting on you to take care of the boss!"

As soon as the mechanism was activated, a shapely stranger wearing a black bodysuit and a masquerade mask rose from the robot's shoulder.

"Ruga, Flamethrower!"

Beside her appeared a black dog-type Pokémon with long, curved horns and an orange mouth. Its powerful flamethrower overwhelmed Ash's Ursaring, forcing it to retreat.

"This new stranger is really strong." Xia was quite surprised; where did the Arrows find someone?

The waveguide was also completely unfamiliar; it was certain that Ash had never seen it before.

After all, she has such a great figure that you'd never forget her if you saw her.

And this person was none other than Rika, who had just returned to the capital.

After hearing Grandma Kikuko praise Ash so much, she became interested in Ash and investigated him, only to find that he was no ordinary person.

Professor Oak, Chairman Damara, and the leader of the Orange League—these are all highly respected figures.

Everyone who met him gave him high praise.

This made Rika even more curious, and she took the initiative to inquire about Ash's whereabouts, wanting to see who he was.

Unexpectedly, they happened to find Yamado and his group.

After learning of the other party's purpose, Rika's playful nature kicked in, and she casually chose to help Yamato and the others.

What? You're saying it wouldn't be good for the Elite Four to help the Rockets?

Sigh, that's just the kind of person Rika is. Even as a child, she was capable of joining an evil organization in pursuit of thrills.

She never had a strong sense of justice or responsibility, and always took making herself happy as her guiding principle.

With a few nimble leaps along the robot's arm, Rika arrived in front of Ash.

"Are you a new executive sent by Team Rocket?" Ash was a little confused because her uniform didn't have the Team Rocket logo's 'R' symbol.

"His name is Yuri, the new captain of Yamato's team, little brother."

After making up a name on the spot, Rika threw out a Poké Ball and released an Umbreon.

"Houndoom unleashes Misty Mist, Umbreon unleashes Shadow Ball!"
