Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

"What a great harvest! What a great harvest! As long as we hand over all these Pokémon to Boss Itaki, the strength of our Team Rocket will definitely be greatly enhanced, and we can also leave a good impression on Boss Itaki," Musashi said excitedly.

"That's right~ Maybe if Boss Banmu is happy, he will give us a bonus meow~" Meow Meow said with a smile.

"Ouch~"*8

Suddenly, eight Houndooms jumped out from the bushes and bared their teeth at Team Rocket....

"Oh~ It's actually delivered to our door. We'll just accept it without any hesitation, meow." Meow Meow said with a sinister smile.

"Ouch~"*8

As soon as Meowth finished speaking, eight Houndooms pounced on Team Rocket at the same time...

"Don't underestimate our evil organization. The three-headed dragon is using destructive rays!"

"Desert Naia uses needle leaf hidden weapon!"

Musashi and Kojiro simultaneously issued attack commands to their respective Pokémon...

"Roar!" The three-headed dragon condensed energy particles in its mouth and released them at the oncoming Houndoom....

Boom~

"Ouch~"*3

Houndoom originally planned to rush over and subdue the thieves, but before he could get close to three of them, they were blasted away by the destruction beam...

"Ouch~"*3

The other three Houndooms pounced on Desert Naia at the same time, and their fangs were wrapped in flames...

"Desert Naya~" Desert Naya waved his right arm and knocked away all the oncoming Houndooms...

Bang~bang~bang~

"Ouch~"*3

Houndoom flew backwards and hit the tree trunk heavily. The huge impact force directly broke the tree...

"I didn't expect that Desert Naya is so powerful now. He is completely on a different level from when he was first subdued by Kojiro, meow." Meow Meow exclaimed.

"After all, Desert Naia is training with a Grass-type gym trainer, so her strength will naturally improve significantly. After all, Desert Naia has great potential."

"But what I'm more curious about is... why hasn't Desert Naia evolved after so many years? Logically speaking, it should have evolved long ago." Musashi asked puzzledly.

"That's because the kid from Desert Naya said that he wanted to always stay the same as when he first met me," Kojiro explained.

"I see~" Musashi suddenly realized.

"Ouch~"*2

While Kojiro and the others were chatting, the remaining two Kuruga pounced on Meowth with lightning speed...

"You two guys don't think I'm a pushover, do you?" Meowth smiled contemptuously, then ejected a sharp claw from its meat ball and quickly rushed towards the oncoming Houndoom...

Meowth brushed past two Houndooms, leaving claw marks on them. For a moment, everything seemed to be frozen there...

"Ouch~"*2

The two Houndooms gulped, and then their eyes went dark before they fell to the ground...

"Tsk~ I have been reborn, and I am not someone you two little dog Pokémon can mess with." Meowth blew at the cat's paw.

"Is Team Rocket's Meowth so strong now?" Xiaoxia couldn't help but exclaimed.

Just now, the scene where Meowth defeated two Houndooms in an instant was seen clearly by Xiaoxia who came over...

"Are you the poachers who have been active near the Devil's Forest recently?" Kato Mei asked.

"Poachers? Don't compare our Team Rocket with those low-class thieves. Those low-class guys are not even worthy of carrying our shoes." Musashi said disdainfully.

"Team Rocket? What kind of organization is that?" Kato Mei was a little confused.

"Since you asked sincerely..."

"I will tell you out of my great mercy..."

"To prevent the world from being destroyed..."

"To protect world peace..."

"The evil that is love and truth..."

'A cute and charming villain...'

"Musashi!"

"Kojiro!"

"We are Team Rocket, here to protect world peace!"

"White hole, white tomorrow is waiting for us!"

"That's it, meow~"

"Tonaza~"

"Protecting world peace? How can someone who protects world peace snatch other people's Pokémon every day?" Xiaoxia complained.

"What do you know, little girl of the first generation? Because we want to protect world peace, we have to capture a large number of Pokémon to increase our strength." Musashi said as a matter of course.

"Tsk~wrong logic." Xiaoxia sneered at Musashi's words.

"Come to think of it...I haven't seen you guys causing trouble since I came back from the Alola region. I really can't get used to it for a while, after all, you used to harass me every day." Xiaozhi said.

"Huh? Did I hear it wrong? Xiaozhi, have you fallen in love with Team Rocket because of their harassment?" Xiaoxia blinked, thinking she had heard it wrong.

"How should I put it? It has been eight years since I started traveling. My companions have changed constantly, but the Rockets trio remains the same."

"Although I am annoyed sometimes when being harassed by Team Rocket frequently, they are not evil villains and sometimes they will help us." Xiaozhi said with a smile.

"That's true... Travel companions may come and go, but Team Rocket remains. They'll follow wherever Xiaozhi goes."

"Their feelings for Xiaozhi are even deeper than ours. After all, we have only been with Xiaozhi for a few years, but they have been with him for eight years." Xiaogang agreed.

"Now that you mention it... I suddenly remembered that when Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos wanted to destroy the world in the Orange Islands, Team Rocket risked their lives to help Ash."

"If you think about it carefully, Team Rocket is not as fast as we imagined. Although they often do bad things, they have never done anything bad." Xiaoxia murmured.

"We are not as good as you say. The reason we have been chasing you is just to snatch the Pikachu from the little devil."

"That's right~ We didn't do this to help you. We just don't want others to interfere with our capture of Pikachu."

"That's it, meow~"

"Tonaza~"

The Rockets trio hastily denied the news. After all, if this kind of thing gets out, it will be a disgrace to the evil organization...

"Well... although it's rude to interrupt you guys while you're reminiscing about the past, can you please take back the Pokémon from the magical protection area first?" Kato Mei said weakly.

As soon as this was said, everyone was so embarrassed that they were speechless for a while...

"Team Rocket, return the Pokémon immediately." Xiaozhi hurriedly broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Since you've asked, I'll be merciful and return the Pokémon to you. Although we have different positions, we've known each other for eight years after all, so I'll give you this little bit of face."

"But you won't be so lucky next time. If we meet again, I will definitely catch your Pikachu."

After saying this, Kojiro took Musashi and the Pokémon away in front of everyone's stunned eyes...
