Chapter 21: The Hindrance of the Moonsee Mountain
After the events in Nibi City were over, and after spending a short time in the city, Ash did several missions to help nearby stone mining vendors expel the troublemakers of Pokémon.
However, compared to the first dangerous mission, the mission has become very ordinary, and the most dangerous one is just almost falling off the mountain road of the mission.
Sure enough, it's impossible to run into that kind of Pokémon that could eat people at any time every time, right? The appearance of the blastoise itself is an accident, and accidents cannot happen every day.
After that, after earning some money and replenishing the backpack space, Ash called Xiao Gang who explained to his younger siblings about the gym in the gym, and the three of them embarked on the road to Hualan City together.
Today is the fourth day since they left the city of Nibi...
Oh yes, a few people were unexpectedly warned by Miss Joy when they set off, saying that something had happened recently on the shortcut to Hualan City, and told them not to join in the fun no matter what happened.
But when a few people wanted to ask what was going on, Miss Joy didn't continue to say anything, and a few people who didn't know how to do it didn't know what was going on, and they didn't ask.
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia did not plan to set off recently. But Ash had no choice but to set off, and a few people hit the road with their heads.
The time when the Pokémon League was launched has always been fixed.
As a rookie trainer who had just started his journey at the end of the Pokémon Gym's opening period, Ash didn't have much time left, and the three of them finally decided to set off on the road.
However, fate is such a coincidence, and the luck in my heart is still lost under the impetus of the goddess of fate.
The nearest shortcut to Hualan City is to pass through a place called Tsukimi Mountain, and when Ash and the others tried to cross, they were intercepted by a group of people halfway.
Mt. Tsukimi was originally a very beautiful mountain, but since the meteorite fell and the cherished super Pokémon Pipsqueak appeared, it has been closed to the public.
"Why is that?"
Ash walked on the road, holding Pikachu, who was tired and asleep, and asked Xiao Gang suspiciously.
Saying this, he reluctantly looked back at the alliance members in the alliance uniform and intercepted the endless stream of trainers with their Pokémon.
At the slightest change, the few Pokémon under the Alliance trainer's command that were very well developed immediately prepared for battle, and even those who did not know whether they were alive or dead were arrested, and several police officers parked their police cars just to do this.
"Because of the Moon Stone, and Pipsqueak." Xiaoxia said casually, and Xiaogang answered in much detail.
"That's right."
"Super Pokémon are known to be difficult to catch, and even among the Pokémon that can be rationed to Alliance trainers within the Pokémon Alliance, there are very few Pokémon of the Super type..."
"The Moon Stone, which is notoriously hard to obtain, is also extremely valuable, and importing either of them into the outside world could pose a great danger to our world. So no matter what, it's impossible for the Pokémon League to let Pipsqueak and the Moonstone fall into the hands of questionable trainers..."
"But then again, Ash, you're a trainer in the Alliance, and if you really want to take a look at the Pokémon Illustrated Book, those people won't stop you easily."
Xiao Xia suddenly quietly approached to interrupt Xiao Gang's words, and asked Xiao Zhi softly.
"Although that being said... However, although that road is the fastest shortcut to Hualan City, we know that we may get into some trouble, so we better leave as soon as possible. ”
Ash rolled his eyes and continued walking.
"Same as I thought."
Xiao Gang said this, and followed with approval.
"You two."
Xiaoxia stood in place and stomped her feet, and followed without saying anything, but as soon as his front feet were raised, a huge explosion suddenly came from behind him.
"Boom!!"
Xiao Zhi Xiaogang was originally walking in front, but he was also frightened by the sudden explosion, and even Pikachu, who was originally asleep, was so frightened that he jumped up, and the hair all over his body exploded.
"Pickup !!!!"
"Huh!?"
"What's going on!?"
"What's going on!?"
Ash and Gang and Pikachu looked back at Kasumi, who seemed to be frightened by the sudden explosion and fell to the ground, looking frightened.
"Xiaoxia, are you okay?"
"I, I'm fine..."
Ash and Gang hurriedly ran over and pulled Kasumi up from the ground, while Pikachu pointed to the place where explosions and smoke kept coming from, trying to warn about something.
"Come out, Sika!"
Ash immediately threw Sika's Poké Ball out. Just now when I was in Tsukimiyama, because the doctor said that Sika is Leolu, it may cause others to covet it. So in order to prevent any accidents, he took Sika back the Poké Ball beforehand.
Ash wanted Sika to try to find out what was going on over there, but instead of thinking about it, he found something else bad.
When he woke up from his half-awake and half-asleep state, the power of the waveguide emitted by Sika had already alerted him for the first time, and several people nearby were watching them.
"Ash, nearby, someone is peeping."
Just when Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia were a little strange why Xiao Zhi released Sika, Xiao Zhi threw his two Poke Balls, Bibi Bird and Ba Da Butterfly, appeared at the same time.
"Come out, guys, I've found you."
As soon as Ash's words fell, there seemed to be more slaughter in the forest.
Xiaoxia and Xiaogang's faces gradually became serious, and they each took out their respective Pokéballs.
As the bushes swayed around them, several black-clothed men jumped down from the trees in unison and surrounded them from all directions. With a black Baker hat, plain black shirt and trousers, and a tiny red medal with a capital R on his chest, Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia's hearts sank at the same time.
The non-governmental organizations that have always been confused with the Left Wing of the Alliance, the Eagle Wing of the Alliance, and the Unexplained Civil Organization, Team Rocket...
How can you be targeted by this group of guys?
Ash and the others formed a triangle, but no one acted rashly. Including several people affiliated with Team Rocket, they didn't come up with their respective Pokémon either, at least they didn't seem to have the idea of attacking them.
All of them looked expressionless, and their expressions were all buried under their sunglasses.
The three of Ash, plus a few Pokémon, are all ready to fight.
There was a stalemate for a moment, and suddenly a serious female voice came from the periphery of several members of Team Rocket.
"Back to work."
Ash and some of the Rocket Team members all turned their heads to look at the comer, and the few members of Team Rocket who saw the identity of the comer also deliberately spread out to both sides to make way for the comer.
The visitor was a young woman in her twenties, dressed in a white shirt and white trousers that were completely different from the others. Her fuchsia hair was scrawled in a ponytail and drooped behind her, and her eyes were a little unenergetic, but they were very attractive.
"Yes, Musashi-sama."
The originally murderous few people were forbidden, quickly took a few steps backwards, and disappeared into the jungle in three or two.
Only three members of Team Rocket standing next to the woman were left in place.
"Excuse me, Mr. Xiao Gang, the temporary gym trainer from Nibi City, and Ms. Xiaoxia, the temporary gym trainer from Hualan City."
Her voice was lazy and spiritless, and she didn't have the sharpness of the three people behind her that made people feel a little uncomfortable, but the R medal, which was also capitalized, made it difficult for several people to let down their guard.
"I'm Musashi, a cadre of Team Rocket, and because of something, I may have to delay you for some time."
