Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 727 Team Rocket in Action

The Rockets' trio stood tall in front of Li Shuwen, their faces beaming with undisguised smugness.

Jessie threw out a Poké Ball first: "Rylai's, come out and say hello!"

Kojiro also threw out a Poké Ball: "Golduck, please introduce yourself to everyone."

Li Shuwen carefully examined the two Pokémon and nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad."

He walked up to the Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex. "The Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex is characterized by its strength and defense; close combat is its absolute advantage."

"Sasaki, your fighting style is simple and brutal, which is a perfect match for him. From now on, the training direction is to maximize the melee capabilities of the Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex."

Musashi's eyes lit up: "I understand! It's about making it stronger, tougher, and more powerful!"

"That's right." Li Shuwen walked up to Golduck again. "Golduck's strengths are its intelligence and superpowers; remote control and tactical interference are its specialties."

"Miyamoto, your observation skills and tactical thinking are a perfect match for it. The future training direction is to use Golduck's psychic abilities to control the rhythm of the battlefield, use water-type skills to suppress opponents from a distance, and use psychic powers to disrupt them."

Kojiro nodded thoughtfully: "Remote control...brain...I understand."

Just as Li Shuwen was about to continue speaking, his gaze suddenly fell on Miaomiao.

"Muse, come here for a second."

Meow Meow was taken aback, then pointed to herself: "Meow?"

"right."

"Master, what's wrong with Muse?" Kojiro asked cautiously.

Li Shuwen said seriously, "Your body is probably due to severe malnutrition when you were young, which led to your current body shape and constitution."

"If you develop normally, you will be several times stronger."

Meow Meow was stunned.

Musashi and Kojiro were also stunned.

Li Shuwen turned and went into the tent, and a moment later took out a small glass bottle.

The bottle contained a pale green liquid that faintly glowed, as if life was flowing within it.

"This potion contains concentrated life energy," Li Shuwen said, handing the bottle to Miaomiao. "It won't allow your body to undergo secondary development, but it can replenish the vital energy you've lost over the years and partially restore your physique."

Meow Meow held the bottle, her hands trembling slightly.

He stared at the flowing green light in the bottle, speechless for a moment.

"Drink it," Li Shuwen said with a smile, "and then feel it."

Meow Meow uncorked the bottle, tilted her head back, and drank the medicine in one gulp.

Meow's eyes suddenly widened.

A warm sensation rose from my stomach, like a small flame, and then quickly spread to my limbs and bones.

The feeling wasn't scorching, but rather warm and soothing, like parched land finally receiving sweet rain after countless years of drought.

Deep within my body, something seemed to be awakened.

Musashi and Kojiro stared at him nervously.

Meow tried clenching her fist.

Power, unprecedented power, surged between the muscles.

The feeling was like having been carrying a heavy burden for a long time and then suddenly having it removed.

He tried to jump lightly.

Whoosh!

Meow Meow sprang into the air, jumping more than two meters high, almost hitting the tree branch above her head.

He flailed his limbs in panic during the air, then fell heavily back to the ground, landing firmly on his feet.

"W-what?!" Meow Meow stared at her legs in disbelief. "Meow Meow just jumped lightly, meow!"

Musashi and Kojiro were dumbfounded.

Meow Meow turned around and bowed solemnly to Li Shuwen: "Master, thank you, Meow."

The three days flew by in a flurry of intense training.

The six Pokémon are working together more and more seamlessly.

"Stop!" Jessie waved her hand, and all the Pokémon stopped moving at the same time. "Not bad! Now we're definitely strong enough to go toe-to-toe with those kids!"

Kojiro hesitated, "But the master said we need more time..."

"The master is the master, and we are us!" Musashi said, hands on his hips. "Besides, we're just going to give it a try; we don't necessarily have to win. What if we can catch Pikachu?"

Meow's eyes lit up: "I think it's a good idea."

The three exchanged a glance and simultaneously flashed their familiar Team Rocket-style smiles.

"Then it's settled!" Musashi clapped his hands. "Tonight, prepare the materials!"

That night, the trio's camp was brightly lit.

"This elastic band should be able to tie up several people at once, meow." Meow held up the blueprints and gestured with its paws on them. "The little brat's henchmen, plus the little brat himself, and that Li Meining, that's at least four people, meow."

Kojiro carefully adjusted the launching device: "I've improved the ejection structure, greatly increasing the launch distance and binding strength. As long as I aim accurately, I can definitely trap them all at once."

Musashi assembled the pile of parts: "Remember, our target is Pikachu. Grab Pikachu and run, don't linger."

"clear!"

The next day at noon, on the grassland outside Zhenxin Town.

Xiao Zhi and Li Meining are engaged in a fierce battle.

Pikachu's Thunderbolt and Lucario's Aura Strike collided and exploded in mid-air, creating bursts of light.

Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia sat under the shade of a tree not far away, watching the game, commenting and taking notes.

"Pikachu's Quick Attack is even faster now!" Xiaoxia exclaimed.

"Li Meining's Lucario has also improved a lot," Xiao Gang analyzed earnestly.

No one noticed that three furtive figures were quietly approaching from the bushes not far away.

"Target locked." Musashi lowered his voice. "Pikachu and Lucario are here, as are the brat and the little girl, and those two in the way. Take them all!"

Kojiro set up the launcher and aimed: "Launch angle adjusted, pressure met. Three, two, one—"

Whoosh!

A dark shadow shot out from the bushes, suddenly unfolding in mid-air into a giant elastic net that enveloped the four people in the field!

Li Meining was the first to realize something was wrong: "What—"

Before the words were even finished, the elastic net had already fallen. The special elastic bands tightened instantly, binding the four people tightly together, rendering them unable to move.

"Pikachu!" Ash exclaimed.

Pikachu and Li Meining's Lucario turned around at the same time, but it was too late.

Another elastic net shot in from another direction, trapping both Pokémon within it.

"Hahahaha!" Musashi leaped out of the bushes. "Little brat, little girl, long time no see!"

Kojiro and Meowth also emerged from their hiding place, their faces beaming with smug smiles.

"The Rockets!" Xiaoxia exclaimed in shock and anger, "How could you—"

Musashi chimed in, "How dare we come here directly to cause you trouble?"

She put her hands on her hips, threw her head back, and laughed loudly, "Because we are different now!"

She waved her hand: "Pokémon, go!"

Six Poké Balls were thrown at the same time.

Ash's eyes widened: "These Pokémon... why do they feel different from before?"

Musashi turned around, revealing his signature big laugh: "While you little brats and girls were playing around, we were undergoing grueling training!"

Meow Meow jumped to her side and nodded vigorously: "That's it, meow!"
