Chapter 247: Dragonite of the Dragon Sanctuary
"Milotic, use Psybeam!"
"Kingdra, use Outrage!"
Just as Milotic finished spraying Psybeam to reinforce the ice sculpture sealing Kingdra, Kingdra, as if it had lost its mind, started spraying Water Gun and headbutting, forcing its way out of the ice sculpture.
Just as it wanted to lash out at Milotic, Milotic moved its skill to its forehead. In less than three seconds, it was frozen again, and this bone-chilling sensation helped Kingdra sober up quite a bit.
"Milotic, use Aqua Tail to finish it off!"
Hearing the command, Milotic had surging water swirling around its tail and fiercely whipped the Kingdra ice sculpture into the air from below.
After hitting the steel frame of the ceiling, the ice shattered and Kingdra fell out. Milotic dove to the bottom, rushed up, leaped out of the water, and activated Aqua Tail again, whipping Kingdra, which was in mid-air, against the nearby wall.
Kingdra has high resistance to Water-type moves, but the physical damage from this kind of slam dunk is huge.
"Kingdra is unable to battle. Gym Leader, please send out your next Pokemon!" Kaburagi announced.
...
"Wow, Meowth, you are truly amazing. You actually have this trick up your sleeve!" James exclaimed.
Meowth waved his hand: "It's nothing!"
"Let me see, where is the treasure kept?"
Jessie was somewhat impatient to get the Dragon Fang.
"There, it's in that box!" James pointed to the box placed on the stone platform at the very back of the room.
"Then we will immediately..."
"Go and take the treasure, Meowth!"
Saying this, the person and the cat prepared to walk inside.
"Wait a moment, it's better to be careful. This is a priceless treasure."
James took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on.
Through his perspective, the entire room was filled with infrared sensor devices.
"As expected, there are infrared alarm devices here, so I prepared this thing in advance!"
James took out a special gauntlet device again.
Two and a half minutes later, a sharp alarm sound rang out.
Seeing that the situation was bad, the Team Rocket Trio quickly grabbed the box containing the Dragon Fang and ran away.
Inside the Gym battle arena.
Clair, who was just about to send out her second Pokemon, paused after hearing the alarm.
"What's wrong?"
"It seems like something terrible has happened."
This sudden turn of events left Ash and the others stunned for a moment.
"Ash, I'm sorry, the Gym challenge will have to be postponed..."
Before Clair finished speaking, she hurried outside.
"Damn, could it be those three idiots causing trouble again?" Ash thought to himself.
When the group chased after them, they happened to see the Team Rocket Trio driving a boat away on the distant Lake.
"Oh no, Miss, it's bad, the Dragon Fang is gone!"
At this moment, Kaburagi ran out of the small house nearby in a panic.
"I know, it must have been those three guys!"
"I won't let you get away. I'm counting on you, Dragonair!"
Clair summoned Dragonair and chased after them.
"Let's go help too," Ash suggested.
"Yeah!" Misty and Brock nodded.
"Milotic, I'm counting on you."
Ash followed along, riding on Milotic.
"Milotic, Kingdra, come out! Brock, you follow with Kingdra."
Just like that, a river chase began.
"James, speed it up! If that Ash and the others catch up, we're done for!" Jessie urged.
"But this is as fast as it goes."
James was also anxious, but the boat wasn't powerful enough, and there was nothing he could do.
Meowth pointed to the side at a cave entrance that looked like a dragon's head and said: "There's a cave over there, drive into it quickly!"
"Enter the cave to shake them off? Good idea!"
The cave they entered was called the Dragon Cave, and its origin was quite extraordinary. It was a complex cave formed by Dragon Pokemon causing trouble in Blackthorn City in the past. Passing through the cave would lead to a place called the Dragon Sanctuary, a paradise for Dragon Pokemon and also the place where Lance had trained.
The Team Rocket Trio drove the boat and plunged directly under the waterfall.
Inside the Dragon Sanctuary.
A Dragonite was lying in the flower bushes, enjoying a sunbath.
Suddenly, cries for help came from the nearby waterfall, and Dragonite, being very warm-hearted, flew over and caught the falling Team Rocket Trio.
"This is..."
"Dragonite?"
The trio looked at the Dragonite holding them in disbelief.
"Dragonite, why did you save us, Meowth?" Meowth asked in confusion.
"Ha-um~ Hallo!" (When there are difficulties, we should help each other.)
Dragonite placed the trio on the ground.
"Regardless, thank you for saving us, Dragonite!" Jessie said solemnly.
The next second, Dragonite smelled the scent of the Dragon Fang in the box held by the trio.
This made the trio instantly nervous.
A sly smile appeared on Meowth's face. He generously took out the Dragon Fang and said: "Dragonite, look, this is indeed the Dragon Fang, Meowth! To tell you the truth, bad guys wanted to snatch the Dragon Fang, and we were forced to take the Dragon Fang and run away."
After a round of brainwashing by the trio, the simple-minded Dragonite quickly believed their story.
Upon seeing Ash and the others arrive, Dragonite didn't say a word and opened its mouth to fire a Hyper Beam.
"Miss, that just now was..."
The familiar attack reminded Kaburagi of something.
"Could it be Dragonite?" Clair was also suspicious.
[Pokemon: Dragonite]
[Type: Dragon + Flying]
[Gender: Male]
[Level: Quasi-Champion Beginner]
[Ability: Inner Focus (Through mental training, it will not flinch due to the opponent's attacks)]
[Potential: Elite]
[Moves: Hyper Beam, Outrage...]
Just as Ash and the others were planning to counterattack, this Dragonite suddenly picked up the Team Rocket Trio and flew away into the distance.
"By the way, where did Team Rockets get a Dragonite?" Brock asked in confusion.
"To tell you the truth, that Dragonite was the Pokemon of the Gym Leader from two generations ago at the Blackthorn Gym. After the Gym Leader from two generations ago passed away, Dragonite became the guardian of the Dragon Sanctuary!" Kaburagi explained.
Misty asked in confusion: "The guardian of the Dragon Sanctuary? Then why did it help Team Rockets?"
Kaburagi shook his head: "I don't know about that either."
"Anyway, let's chase after them first and see. Those three idiots from Team Rockets have first-class skills at causing trouble," Ash said helplessly.
"You're right, let's go, Ash," Clair said.
"Roar~"
At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Pika-pi, Pika-Pikachu!" (Ash, that guy is here!)
Pikachu said to Ash with an excited look on his face.
Ash nodded: "Yeah, I sensed it too."
Eevee frowned slightly. She also sensed a familiar feeling. She could confirm that the one arriving was a partner, but she wasn't sure who it was.
Brock took out his binoculars to observe and said: "That is... Charizard?"
"Yeah, that's the guy, and Ms. Liza is here too."
