Chapter 262: Entei
After leaving Alto Mare, Ash's group headed towards the conservation area of Mt. Silver.
Latias, who had just joined the team, fell into a deep sleep due to consuming too many rare candies, which allowed her to process the changes the rare candies brought. She did not accompany them in Bianca's form.
As for Gardevoir and Jirachi, Ash had sent them home again to accompany his mother.
The reason for sending Jirachi back was that after she used her move, she became drowsy, making Ash feel it was better to send her home. Plus, he still had a socially anxious Larvitar that needed care.
And today, the group was driven to a hot spring by a bad-tempered Ursaring.
As soon as the group approached a spring, a loud alarm sounded.
"Entei, let's have a battle!"
Just as the Team Rocket Trio were wondering, a voice came from behind them.
Ash turned his head and saw a Trainer holding a computer staring at them.
When that person saw that it was Ash and his companions who had triggered his mechanism, he said with some regret, "What's going on? It's not Entei after all!"
"The Entei you just mentioned, are you referring to the legendary Pokémon Entei?" Misty asked in confusion.
That person nodded, "Of course, I'm referring to it!"
James also asked, "You said you're looking for Entei?"
"Yes, I want to catch it," that person replied confidently.
Hearing such overly confident words, Ash was speechless, "Uh..."
"I analyzed several locations where Entei appeared, and the result is that the probability of it appearing in this area is the highest. Moreover, the hot springs here have special effects for healing Pokémon injuries and eliminating fatigue."
"So, the alarm just now was set by you?"
"That's right, because based on the existing data, I can't analyze the exact appearance location yet, so I set up detectors in several locations within this area. By the way, my name is Shang Ye."
After an introduction.
Ash's group also learned that Entei was Shang Ye's most longed-for Pokémon, which was why he embarked on a journey to chase Entei.
After a brief exchange, Shang Ye temporarily departed.
Ash and the others decided to camp by the hot spring, and they also released their respective Pokémon.
Just as Ash's group was having a blast.
A mysterious figure was rapidly approaching the hot spring where Ash and his companions were, a hundred miles away.
Shang Ye, who had circled around with no success, returned to the hot spring once more.
This time, Ash and his companions saw the Misdreavus he had meticulously trained to catch Entei.
In fact, it was just a Misdreavus that knew Mean Look, a little guy whose level wasn't even close to Gym-level.
Of course, Ash had no intention of mocking the other party. After all, catching a legendary Pokémon is the dream of every Pokemon Trainer. If a certain Goh can become a one-ball superman, then it's not wrong for others to pursue a legendary beast.
However, seeing Shang Ye's Misdreavus, Ash had an idea for a battle. His Murkrow, which he had traded back last time, just needed battle experience.
And so, a Pokémon battle began.
Shang Ye naturally used Misdreavus.
Pokémon: Misdreavus
Type: Ghost
Gender: Male
Level: Excellent Advanced
Ability: Levitate
Potential: Quasi-Elite
Moves: Swift, Mean Look, Astonish...
"First strike, Misdreavus, use Headbutt!"
"Misdreavus~"
Misdreavus charged straight towards Murkrow.
"Murkrow, use Night Shade!"
Murkrow stared wide-eyed at Misdreavus. When Misdreavus's eyes met hers, she saw a terrifying illusion, and the Headbutt move was immediately interrupted.
Failing to land a hit, Shang Ye continued to shout, "Misdreavus, use Swift!"
"Misdreavus~"
Misdreavus created some distance and then opened its mouth to spit out a stream of star-like beams.
"Murkrow, fly up and dodge it, then use Wing Attack."
Upon hearing the command, Murkrow transformed into a black blur, drawing a perfect arc around Misdreavus. Its wings glowed white as it crashed into Misdreavus.
Smack!
Misdreavus was hit squarely by Murkrow and then fell to the ground.
"Misdreavus, are you okay?" Shang Ye asked with a worried expression.
Misdreavus shook its head, then flew up again.
"It's good that you're okay. Next, use Psybeam!"
Misdreavus attacked again.
But with Murkrow's intelligence, there was no chance its move would hit.
Just as Ash was about to end the battle, a large net descended from the sky, catching both Misdreavus and Murkrow.
This sudden situation left Shang Ye puzzled, "What's going on?"
"Since you asked so sincerely."
"Then we will mercifully..."
Jessie and James hadn't even finished their opening lines when Meowth urged, "What are you two babbling about?! Hurry up and leave!"
"It's you three idiots again! It seems I was too lenient on you by not sending you to jail for a few days back in Alto Mare," Ash said helplessly.
"Ash, let me tell you, we're not who we used to be! We'll gladly take your Murkrow and that kid's Misdreavus, Meow!" Meowth said proudly.
Ever since they met Giovanni in Alto Mare last time, they had been quite pleased with Giovanni's praise, and they had also received a considerable bonus.
With the bonus, Meowth set about upgrading and improving the Aura disguise device. Now, their successful sneak attacks were all thanks to the machine's improvements.
Of course, for this, they not only exhausted their bonus but also incurred a fresh loan.
Jessie looked at the large number of wild Pokémon in the hot spring below, "Meowth, these two Pokémon aren't enough! Quickly, bring out your secret weapon!"
"But that weapon is expensive! If we don't run now, Ash will react and we won't be able to escape!"
"It's precisely because it's expensive that we have to act, otherwise if Ash destroys that weapon, it would be a huge loss!"
At Jessie and James's insistence, Meowth pressed a button on the hot air balloon, and then a large pumping device appeared beneath the hot air balloon.
As the device activated, a powerful suction force pulled all the water from the hot spring pool into the sky, and the Pokémon were also sucked up.
"Pineco!"
Most of Ash's Pokémon were hiding behind Onix, but James's Pineco wasn't so lucky.
Seeing Pineco being sucked up, James also desperately rushed into the water vortex created by the Team Rocket Trio.
Seeing this, Ash shouted, "Pikachu, stop those three idiots."
"Pika!"
Boom!
As soon as Pikachu took off, an explosion erupted from within the water vortex.
Then James's figure emerged, holding Pineco's evolved form, Forretress.
Seeing their plan ruined, Jessie gritted her teeth, "Damn it, Meowth, increase the power!"
"Okay!"
As Meowth fiddled with the controls, the machine became overloaded and went out of control.
Just then, a powerful Flamethrower attack came from the nearby mountaintop.
Boom!
The Team Rocket Trio were just blasted onto the mountain.
And they also saw the Pokémon that attacked them.
James looked at the familiar figure and asked, "Haven't we met somewhere before?"
"It looks really angry, Meow!"
Ash, who had arrived, said mockingly, "Of course it's angry, it's Entei! You three idiots are in big trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, Entei rewarded the three of them with a Fire Blast.
"What a dreadful feeling!"
