Pokemon: Reborn As Ash, I'll Conquer Every League

Chapter 223: Challenging a Superior

"Cruz, use Tackle!"

Pupitar slammed into Hitmontop, sending it flying.

Seeing this, Cassidy shouted, "Houndour, use Flamethrower!"

Houndour unleashed a stream of fire that landed on Pupitar.

"My Cruz’s shell is very hard!"

Ritchie was very confident in his Pupitar and wasn’t afraid of the fire at all.

"Hitmontop, use Triple Kick!" James said.

Seeing the two ignoring him, Gary said angrily, "Hey, hey, hey, have you forgotten about me? Blastoise, use Dragon Pulse!"

"Blastoise!"

After hearing the command, his Blastoise fired an energy attack shaped like a Western dragon.

This move directly took out Houndour and Hitmontop, along with the submarine the two were standing on.

Just after the Team Rocket Trio left, Jessie and the others, who were hiding near the seabed, followed them.

Just after driving Team Rockets away, a ship stopped in front of Ash and the others. They were quite familiar with this ship; it was the boat belonging to Ms. Luka that had taken them to Red Rock Island previously. Ms. Luka’s ancestors had received a Silver Wing gifted by Lugia.

"Ms. Luka, you couldn’t forget about me, so you specifically chased after us, right?" Brock said shamelessly.

"You’ve got that wrong!" Misty retorted.

Upon seeing Ash, the young Lugia felt a sense of closeness.

It subconsciously leaned in to nuzzle Ash, which almost made the jealous Eevee explode.

"This Lugia is so small!" Misty also reached out and touched Lugia’s head.

Seeing Lugia’s size, Gary said with some disappointment, "What the heck! How can it be such a small Lugia?"

"Lugia?" Ritchie looked at Ash and the others with some confusion.

"Ritchie, Lugia is a legendary Pokemon. There are legends about it in places like the Orange Islands, Kanto, and Johto," Ash explained.

"Ash, this little Lugia, could it be..."

Misty suddenly remembered the wild Lugia that had appeared on Pidgey Island a few days ago.

"Yes, this little Lugia is her child. They have always lived in this sea area, but I’m afraid they won’t be able to anymore. Team Rockets have already discovered them."

Although Ash knew that the person who wanted to capture Lugia was just Dr. Namba, Dr. Namba was, after all, a member of Team Rockets.

That guy Giovanni is someone who has gone crazy for money. It’s hard to guarantee that he won’t come to capture Lugia again after learning about Dr. Namba’s failure.

Last time on Pidgey Island, Ash had seen that the Lugia’s level was only at the beginning of the Champion tier. Let alone facing Giovanni, even if Team Rockets simply dispatched someone at the Elite level, combined with some capture equipment, capturing this mother and child Lugia would be an easy task.

Gary caught the main point in Ash’s words: "Oh, Ash, judging by what you’re saying, there’s an even larger Lugia here?"

Ash looked at the sea surface and said, "Yeah, it’s already here."

With a’splash!’, a huge spray of water rose up, and a normal-sized Lugia flew out of the water.

The Silver Wing pendant worn by Luka glowed with red light.

"Coming just at the right time. Lugia, I will capture you! Come out, Heatran, Articuno."

Gary brought out his other two top generals.

"That’s Articuno!"

Compared to Lugia, more people know about Articuno, one of the three legendary birds, so Ritchie recognized Articuno at first glance.

But Heatran was different. This guy didn’t really have any legends; it was the least prestigious legendary Pokemon and didn’t have much fame to speak of.

Ash opened an Aura barrier to protect everyone except Gary. "Tsk tsk tsk, Gary, this move of yours to challenge a superior is really interesting."

"What challenge a superior? I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Blastoise, use Hydro Pump. Articuno, use Psybeam. Heatran, use Fire Blast!"

As Gary’s voice fell, Blastoise fired two shots at Lugia, Heatran spat out a Fire Blast attacking the Lugia in the sky, and Articuno aimed its Psybeam at Lugia’s wings.

Seeing Ash looking like he was just watching the show, Ritchie asked, "Ash, aren’t you going to stop him?"

"Why stop him? This pair of Lugia has already been exposed to Team Rockets’ view, and they will definitely spare no effort to capture them. Gary is Professor Oak’s grandson. If he can defeat Lugia and capture it, it can be considered a form of protection for Lugia.

Legendary Pokemon have much, much longer lifespans than ordinary ones, and the resources consumed to grow are also quite significant. Gary is well-known for being wealthy." Ash explained.

"But if the mother Lugia is captured, what about Silver?" Xiu Yi asked, unable to bear it.

"Silver can also be sent to Professor Oak’s Laboratory!"

In fact, Ash was more inclined for Misty to capture the little Lugia and then send it to Professor Oak’s Laboratory to be taken care of.

After all, the little Lugia is still young and has high plasticity. If there are enough resources, it can be quickly cultivated to the Elite or even Champion tier.

However, it’s better not to say this for now. After all, Silver and Xiu Yi have been together for a week, and there is still a little bit of affection there.

Gary has invested quite a lot of resources into Heatran and Articuno; they are already at the quasi-Champion beginner tier, while his Blastoise itself is at the Elite intermediate tier.

Facing a Lugia at the Champion beginner tier, his team is still struggling a bit to hold on, but it’s not impossible to defeat Lugia.

Under a certain sea area.

In a strange dome-shaped building. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The Team Rocket Trio had changed into a set of black Team Rockets uniforms.

"I have a question, why do we have to disguise ourselves as them?"

This uniform, which only low-level personnel wear, made James very disgusted.

"There’s no way around it; for the sake of merit, this is our only way," Jessie said helplessly.

The intelligence they collected on Pidgey Island a while ago did indeed make a great contribution. In order to commend their efforts, Giovanni, who was far away in the Kalos region accompanying Mewtwo No. 2 to break through the secret of Mega Evolution, even personally called them to make grand promises.

Hmm... the three of them were stuffed from eating these empty promises.
