I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

Next, Shigeru released Zapdos, consuming 4 Super Candies to level it up to level 70.

With two Champion-level Pokémon by his side, Gary felt safer. Blastoise could handle the defense, and Zapdos could take the offense. Even if they couldn't beat Lugia, they could still exchange blows without much trouble.

Gary wasn't sure when Ash and his friends would act, so to avoid being delayed, he boosted Blastoise and Zapdos before heading out by sea, riding Blastoise to the area where Team Rocket's underwater base was located.

In this area of ​​the sea, Xiao Mao quickly found a ship that was patrolling nearby.

Before Xiao Mao could get close, the ship pulled up to him. A bald boy poked his head out from the ship's railing and asked anxiously, "Big brother, have you seen a very large round machine pass by here?"

When Xiao Mao saw the bald-headed child, he was slightly taken aback; this person was Shuichi.

Xiu kept searching for the circular machine, which should be Team Rocket's underwater base, meaning that Team Rocket has successfully captured two Lugia, as well as Ash and his friends and Hiro.

"What? Are you the only one on the boat?" Xiao Mao asked.

"who are you?"

Just as Shigeru finished asking his question, a red-haired woman came to the fence. The woman's name was Luca, and she was the one who commissioned Ash and his friends to investigate the silver feather.

"My name is Gary, and I'm a trainer from Pallet Town," Gary introduced himself.

“Paletown!” Shuichi exclaimed in surprise, “So, you and Ash 2.8 are from the same place!”

"Huh? You know Ash?" Gary asked knowingly.

"Yeah... Waaah...!" Shuichi wanted to say something, but Luca covered his mouth and reminded him, "Don't talk, I'll ask."

Seeing Lu Jia say that, Shuichi also calmed down.

"Xiao Mao, you said you know Xiao Zhi. What does Xiao Zhi look like?" Lu Jia asked.

"Ash is about my age. He has a Pikachu with him, but that Pikachu doesn't like staying in its Poké Ball. He also has a boy and a girl with him, named Brock and Misty," Gary said.

Hearing Xiao Mao explain in such detail, Lu Jia immediately believed that Xiao Mao knew Xiao Zhi and apologized, "I'm sorry, something happened here, which is why I questioned your identity."

"What exactly happened?" Xiao Mao asked.

252: Saving Lugia and Her Child

"Here's what happened...!"

Having confirmed Shigeru's identity, Ruka and Shuichi quickly told him about what had happened not long ago.

Just as Gary knew, Team Rocket first captured Silver (the baby Lugia), and then used Silver to lure adult Lugia. Ash and the others tried to stop them, but were captured by Team Rocket as well.

Luca and Shuichi are not trainers, so they can only search in the surrounding waters, and they just happened to run into Gary who was passing by.

“I understand. Don’t worry, Team Rocket won’t have gone far. The surrounding seas are not stable, and the submarine can’t get out for the time being. They are definitely still active on the seabed nearby. We can search for them on the seabed,” said Gary.

“Searching underwater, isn’t that very dangerous?” Lu Jia asked worriedly.

Although Shigeru is a trainer, he is still just an 11-year-old child, and Ruka is very worried that something might happen to him.

"I'm a frequent diver, so leave it to me and my lighthouse monster," Shuichi volunteered.

“No, you can’t go.” Lucia immediately refused Xiu Yi’s offer.

Shuichi is younger than Shigeru, and if anything happens to him, Ruka will blame herself for the rest of her life.

“If we keep dragging this out, Ash and the others will only be in more danger. Miss Lucia, time is of the essence. I will search with Shuichi, and I will protect him,” Shigeru said in a deep voice.

Luca hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, be careful. Just find Team Rocket's submarine and avoid any fighting."

"alright."

Xiao Mao pretended to agree.

They're going to the Rockets anyway, how could they not clash with them? Luca is just too naive.

The boat was in a diving state. Shigeru and Shuichi got an underwater breathing adapter, which they could use to breathe underwater by simply putting it on their mouths.

Gary and Shuichi each boarded their Pokémon and went underwater. Gary naturally knew how to swim, having grown up with Ash and the two often competed with each other, whether in swimming or diving.

Once underwater, using the light from the Lantern to search the seabed, Shigeru and Shuichi quickly discovered that there were very few Pokémon on the seabed, and they all seemed to be running away. This situation must be because something on the seabed had frightened them, causing them to scatter in all directions.

Guided by Shigeru's mark, the two quickly found the underwater Team Rocket base, which was floating on the seabed and was enormous.

Gary was also amazed by Team Rocket's arms. He could only say that Team Rocket truly lived up to its name; even the combined Team Aqua and Team Magma of the Hoenn region couldn't compare to them.

Because the base is underwater, a converter is needed to extract the oxygen from the water. There are several openings at the bottom of the base, which are used to extract seawater and separate the oxygen.

Shigeru and Shuichi planned to go into the cave, but because Shigeru was too tall, the entrance was not big enough for him to go in, and he couldn't speak underwater. Shuichi made a few hand gestures to Shigeru, meaning that he would go in and take a look, and asked Shigeru to help take care of his Lightbulb.

Xiao Mao didn't know if he could get into the hole, and he had other ways to get in, so he wouldn't agree. He immediately grabbed Xiu Yi's arm, made a "no" gesture to him, and then made an OK gesture, saying that he had a way.

Xiu understood Xiao Mao's gesture and did not act rashly. Then, Xiao Mao patted Blastoise's head and gave it an OK sign. Blastoise immediately used a high-speed spin to create a whirlpool, separating the water flow and creating a space where it could move. Xiao Mao immediately released Alakazam.

After Alakazam emerged, its eyes emitted a blue glow, and the group instantly disappeared from the ocean floor. They then arrived at a closed room with several bunk beds, which was where the Team Rocket members slept.

“This should be a place to sleep, Xiu Yi…” Xiao Mao said.

"Xiaoyin!"

Before Xiao Shigeru could finish speaking, Xiu Yi immediately ran out.

"you...!"

Xiao Mao tried to stop her, but Xiao Yin had already run out and couldn't be stopped. Besides, it was unclear whether there were any security cameras outside.

"This Xiu Yi..." Xiao Mao had a headache. He should have known better than to bring him here. If Team Rocket found out, it would alert them.

"Gengar, take these. If you encounter a Lugia, talk to it and ask it to go into a Poké Ball." Gary handed Gengar three Ultra Balls.

"Geng Ga!"

Gengar nodded, stuck out its tongue, curled up, swallowed the three Pokémon, then disappeared and left.

"Scizor, come out." Gary released Scizor.

Gary originally planned to secretly rescue Lugia first and then cause trouble, but now that Shuichi is so reckless, Gary has no choice but to use force. This way, he can also attract the attention of Team Rocket and indirectly protect Shuichi's safety.

Xiao Mao brought Scizor and Alakazam out of the room. The passageway outside was rather narrow, and this area seemed to be the accommodation area.

"Scizor, destroy the door with your metal claws as soon as you see it." Gary didn't know the internal structure either. Although he later sent Gengar to sneak in, he only installed a tracker on it and didn't let Gengar explore too much, for fear of alerting the enemy.

But things are different now. With Shuichi causing such a commotion, there's no need to hide it anymore.

Clang! Clang! Clang...!

Every door they passed was intact; they had all been torn apart by Scizor. The rooms behind the doors were empty, and no one knew where the people had gone. But soon, at a corner, a man wearing a black Team Rocket uniform appeared.

"You... are the intruder!" The man also noticed Xiao Shi, especially the Scizor and Alakazam next to Xiao Shi. He immediately reached for his waist, but the next moment, he found himself unable to move.

"Damn it, do you know where you are? You're asking for death by barging in. Let me go right now!" The Team Rocket man realized he was bound by telekinesis and immediately threatened him, his demeanor like that of a vicious dog.

After all, living things tend to be bullies within their own group, and humans are no exception. This is Team Rocket's base, and there are many Team Rocket members inside, so they are naturally very confident.

"Aladdin, hypnotize him." Xiao Mao was too lazy to pay attention to the other party. If this person wasn't still useful, he would have sent him to see his great-grandmother long ago.

Alakazam walked up to the Team Rocket man, emitting hypnotic energy that completely hypnotized him.

“Take me to where Lugia is being held,” said Shigeru.

The Rockets player nodded and walked in one direction.

Those who can enter the underwater base will generally stay inside the base for a long time. They are very familiar with the structure of the base and know about recent events.

Chapter 253: Successfully captured Lugia

"By the way, have you seen a bald kid?" Xiao Mao asked as they walked.

Shuichi ran out of the room without any Pokémon with him. Lantern was still at the bottom of the sea and wasn't brought in with him.

"The bald kid...I saw him, and he's been handed over to my colleague to take away," the Rockets player responded.

Xiao Mao was speechless. He thought Xiu Yi was going to achieve something, but he was caught not long after running away. What a troublesome kid.

"What will happen to the bald kid?" Xiao Mao asked.

"They will be detained and will be dealt with only after Dr. Dongbo gives instructions," the Team Rocket man said.

Dr. Dongbo?

"Isn't it Professor Nanpo?" Gary remembered that Professor Nanpo was the main commander of Team Rocket's operation this time. How come there's another Professor Toubo? Could it be that he remembered wrong?

"Yes, it's Dr. Nanbo. I must have misremembered."

Xiaomao:? ? ?

"Lead the way quickly."

"Yes."

The man quickened his pace and soon arrived at the door of a room. He entered the password, and the door opened, revealing a brightly lit room inside. A giant bird spirit was trapped on a huge instrument platform, surrounded by a ring of light red transparent energy to prevent the spirit from escaping.

"Lugia!"

The elf trapped inside was Lugia.

【LV75 Lugia/Legendary】

"Yeah~!"

When Lugia saw someone enter, she roared in anger and tried to get out, but she was trapped by the energy shield and became extremely furious.

"I asked you to take me to Lugia, why are we here!" Shigeru complained.

"Isn't this Lugia?" the man asked, puzzled.

Shigeru slapped his forehead, realizing he'd forgotten there were two Lugia here. He was looking for the baby Lugia, not this adult one. But since he was already here, he couldn't just leave.

Waaaaah!

Suddenly, the alarm sounded.

"Tch, we've been found out."

Hearing the alarm, Shigeru realized he had been discovered. There were no surveillance cameras in the outside passage, but there must be in the place where Lugia was being held.

“Alakazam, explain what happened here to Lugia. I’ll help it rescue its babies and calm it down,” Gary said.

Alakazam immediately used telepathy to convey Gary's message to Lugia.

Legendary Pokémon can understand human speech, but this Lugia is not very strong. Once it gets angry, it will not listen to human speech. This is a common problem for most legendary Pokémon. Even though they have intelligence comparable to humans, in a state of extreme anger, rationality will be replaced by rage.
