What is a heavy girl? I want to be a Pokémon master!

Ash turned around and focused his gaze on Combusken. With Combusken's strength and jumping ability, there was a good chance that he could jump onto Garchomp's back.

At this moment, Garchomp was flying at a low altitude, making it the perfect time to test this possibility.

It will succeed!

Rather, it's something we absolutely have to do!

Ash ran quickly to Combusken, and with a nimble leap, landed precisely on Combusken's upside-down hands that were clasped together.

"Yam-mo-!" Combusken gathered all its strength and threw Ash high into the air.

"Soar into the sky—!" Ash soared upwards, and suddenly Garchomp appeared before him. He quickly stretched out his arm, firmly grabbed Garchomp's back, and crawled forward with all his might, trying to get closer to Garchomp's collar.

"Gabu~~" Garchomp struggled, spitting out Hyper Beam again. The intense golden beam struck the ground fiercely, causing a violent explosion.

"Garuda, calm down, I'll help you remove the ring."

Ash gently touched the collar with his hand, whispering soft words in Garchomp's ear, trying his best to soothe it.

84 The Crying Xiangzi (2nd Update)

To be honest, Garchomp's roar and destructive beam are already enough to attract attention. Add to that its strange rampage, and although the damage isn't huge, the disturbance it causes far outweighs the actual harm.

In short, the impact is too great. The police mobilization is much stronger than usual. Team Rocket's spies cannot delay the police search, and they have already surrounded Team Rocket's base in Rainbow City.

You should be able to get a lot of information about Team Rocket from that researcher.

In addition, Xiao Zhi's situation has been broadcast live.

The people broadcasting live from the helicopter had already focused their attention on Ash. Through the camera, you could see Ash tightly gripping Garchomp's back, his hand reaching towards its neck, clearly trying to remove its collar and regain its freedom.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket's Tatsumi had already flown over via Corviknight.

"There's a boy on Garchomp!! Is he trying to help Garchomp remove the collar from its neck?! And those flying in from behind are Team Rocket?!"

Furthermore, this live broadcast was shown on television, and Nijigasaki City is currently one of the most famous cities in the Kanto region, so this commotion attracted countless viewers.

Why are you there?!

Shoko Toyokawa stared at the screen on her phone in disbelief, unsure of what to say. She knew that Satoshi was adventurous, but she never expected him to confront something like this.

Based on Xiangzi's understanding of Xiaozhi, it must be that this reckless guy went to Team Rocket to save Garchomp, which led to this situation.

Stupid!

At least consider those of us who like you...

Xiangzi stared intently at her phone, her face full of worry. A sense of unease welled up inside her, so she quickly got up.

"Hey, Xiangzi, you're going out, right? Then go buy me some wine, we're running out."

Just then, his scoundrel father, looking quite disheveled, got up from his makeshift bed behind him with an empty bottle, making Xiangzi even more upset.

"Shut up!""

"Ah... um... what's wrong?... Xiangzi?"

In an instant, Xiangzi's father became timid and submissive, a side of Xiangzi he had never seen before.

Tears even welled up in her eyes, and she lost her composure.

You should know that Xiangzi hadn't cried once in the year since he moved out.

"I need to go out for a bit." Xiangzi hurriedly left through her tear-blurred vision, her phone slipping from her hand and falling onto the tattered blanket on the makeshift floor with a dull thud.

"...What is this?...Does she like this boy?...The Rockets are behind him, so brave, completely different from me." The bastard Dad picked up the phone that had fallen to the ground, his gaze lingering on the screen.

A strong sense of guilt and self-reproach began to surge within me.

Not only that, this has affected many people, and those who know Xiaozhi are shocked.

Shocking! The boy I know is at the center of this incident!

"He's the one who got third place in the 'Afro Buffalo Cup,' right? I didn't expect him to be so passionate~ Waaah... I have to do my best, no... I guess I, Yuki Yukina, should go too!"

"Harashuh (Wow, amazing)... This face... Asama Tomoya, isn't that my fiancé?"

"Brother...why is brother there?!"

...

“gabu!!”

Just then, Ash and Garchomp flew to the top of Rainbow Feather Tower. Garchomp unleashed a Hyper Beam, attacking the tower and causing a violent explosion. Instantly, stones flew everywhere, sparks flew, and smoke billowed.

Xiao Zhi kept holding onto his back, because it was really difficult to remove the collar from the other person's neck due to his movements.

"Garuda, can you hear me? You must be in pain... You must be suffering... Everyone is worried about you. It's okay, I'll help you remove the ring so you can go back to everyone." Ash spoke gently to Garuda, trying to comfort the controlled Garuda.

The rough skin was taking effect all the time, but Xiao Zhi didn't pay too much attention to it and comforted the other person.

"Gabu..." In Garchomp's eyes, a red light gradually faded, and its gaze softened from ferocious to gentle. It closed its mouth and stopped releasing its destructive beam.

Thanks to this safe situation, Ash was able to easily remove his collar while standing on the Rainbow Feather Tower.

As for the method to be used?

Take this elbow strike!

"Mega-powered elbow strike!" Ash gathered all his strength, his eyes blazing as he focused on Garchomp's collar. He took a deep breath, then took a sudden step forward, leaning his body forward, and his right arm lashed out like lightning.

The elbow slammed heavily into the center of the collar, producing a clear metallic cracking sound.

The collar shattered instantly under Ash's elbow strike, sending fragments flying in all directions.

"Gabu—! Ga..." Garchomp felt the restraints released and roared, then collapsed into Ash's arms due to exhaustion.

"Are you alright? You must be in a lot of pain... The rescue team will be here soon."

“gabu~”

Ash gently supported its body, giving it a sense of security. At the same time, Garchomp responded weakly, but soon collapsed onto Ash.

This period of peace did not last long.

"Thank you for your hard work. Now, please hand over that Garchomp to me."

Without giving them even a moment's peace, Team Rocket executive Tatsumi immediately arrived at Rainbow Feather Tower!

He arrived here riding a Corviknight and watched Ash from a short distance away.

"I will not hand over Garchomp to you. You are my responsibility!"

Ash took the Poké Ball out of his pocket, and at the same time, Tatsumi also took out his Poké Ball.

Their eyes met, and both sides understood what they needed to do to resolve the issue.

Pokémon battles! ...A version that disregards martial ethics!

"Raichu, Froakie, and Pappusia, it's you guys I choose!!!"

"Commander Pi Zhan, you turban-wearing thugs, go and take care of them right now!!!"

Both sides have 3 units each, making it a 3v3 battle. Both players must resolve the battle without collapsing the Rainbow Feather Tower.

"Raichu uses Thunderbolt, targeting Corviknight!!" "Froakie uses Water Pulse to attack Bandana."

"Splash! Monkey, grass slide!"

"Thunder——!" "Koga——!" "Pachi——!"

As always, it was the same old battle: the three Pokémon launched an all-out attack, and Tatsumi's counterattack also arrived.

"Headband thug, retaliate with a tile-splitting attack!" "Commander Slash, take care of that 'Pop-Dong Monkey' first." "Steel Crow dodges the attacks, Air Blade assists them."

Raichu unleashed Thunderbolt, a flash of light leaving a bright trail in the air. Corviknight, flying in the air, tried its best to dodge Raichu's attack while using Air Blade to counterattack.

These razor-sharp whirlwinds danced in the air, constantly disrupting the field, but Corviknight still had little chance against Thunderbolt.

As long as it doesn't destroy the Rainbow Feather Tower, it's fine.

85. Absolutely Must Protect (3rd Update)

"koga!"

Frog quickly unleashed Water Pulse, and a blue water ball rose out of thin air, hurtling towards the bandana thug at lightning speed.

"Cunning!" The turbaned thug charged wildly, his hand flashing out a sharp blade of light as he cleaved through the water's ripples. Water sprayed everywhere.

Only the Padmon Monkey and the Slashing Commander remained, colliding together, and it seemed that Tatsumi trusted the Slashing Commander the most.

"This guy is the strongest here; you have no chance of winning."

"That's hard to say, Patton Monkey, let's show them our power!"

"Pachi!"

Xiao Zhi pressed down on his baseball cap and observed it carefully.

Indeed, judging by its sheer presence, that Bisharp is already at the Gym level, or even higher. It's also a Steel-type, the best defensive type. This battle probably won't end peacefully.

But Ash won't give up!

"Commander, attack with your metal claws!"

"Slash!"

Tatsumi commanded the Slashing Commander to use metal claws. The Slashing Commander's sharp claws were like blades, slicing through the air with a piercing sound.

"Padong Monkey, use acrobatics to outmaneuver your opponent, don't fight head-on!"

"Upon seeing this, Ash immediately ordered Pidgey to perform acrobatics. Pidgey was enveloped in a layer of light, and the two drumsticks in its hands flew through the air, accurately striking Commander Slash."

"Slash..." The Slashing Commander easily dodged the seemingly acrobatic attack, but the metal claws tore through the body of the Pappon Monkey.

“Pachi…” Pachi Monkey was knocked back a few steps, barely managing to regain his balance.

The stronger the opponent, the more cautious Ash becomes.

To be honest, he was excited too, but this was the Rockets, and he really didn't have the leisure to be.

Commander Splitter's strength is definitely far superior to that of Patton Monkey, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to attack Patton Monkey, who was using acrobatics, with such a fast movement.

Using acrobatics already makes them very fast, and Pappomon's speed stat is even higher than Slashmaster's, but the difference in their strength is too great, which means that Pappomon doesn't have an advantage in speed.

In addition, there has been special training focused on speed.

Not daring to be careless for even a moment, Ash immediately had Ptarmope use its most powerful move in theory.

"Padong Monkey, use Rapid Turnaround!"

Bug-type Quick Return has double the effect on Steel/Dark-type Cleave.

"Pachi!"

Soon, Padong Monkey leaped up, its entire body filled with green energy, transforming into a spinning drill shape, and charged towards Commander Pi Zhan's body.

"Get out of the way! A sneak attack on the trainer's vitals!!!"

At this moment, Tatsumi seemed unable to hide his smile, and malice seeped out.

"Slash—!"

Upon hearing this, Bisharp instantly dodged Pidgey's attack and charged directly at Ash. Dark purple energy gathered in its hands, preparing to launch a sneak attack on a vital point, aiming for a fatal blow.

[Huh? Is it legal for you to use a move on Ash Blossom, the trainer?!]

"It's okay, I'll hold off this attack. You go and take that guy down, you budong monkey."

Xiao Zhi quickly found a solution and issued instructions.

"Pachi~ (No way!)"

But the Thudon didn't just sit and wait to die. It reacted quickly, using the grass slide to rush over and block Ash's way.

"Slice..."

"Pachi..." Pachi took the powerful attack from Bisharp, and his body was knocked back a few steps to protect Ash.

"Papoommonkey?" Ash stared blankly at the other's behavior.

Mingming Padong Monkey should know his own physical abilities, but he still came over and didn't listen to him.

They actually managed to hold on?

The difference in their strength is so great... how is that possible?

To be honest, Ash was a little confused, but Pappus was furious.
