Actually, for Gary Oak, the Human Cannon wasn't too scary. Under the influence of Ash Ketchum, he was often forced to participate in thrilling activities. Gary Oak also admitted that these projects prepared by Ash Ketchum were pretty fun.
The main performance ended, and Ash Ketchum and his team began to revel, since a carnival was meant to be celebrated with fun. But trouble always arrives when you're having the most fun. Just as Ash Ketchum and his friends were playing, a large group of Exeggcute came charging like a stampede.
"Run! The Exeggcute are rampaging!!!"
"Ahhh!!!"
Alerting each other, everyone quickly realized that the Exeggcute were charging toward them for some unknown reason.
"What's going on? I know there are Exeggcute around here, but they shouldn't start a fight without a reason, right?" Ash Ketchum was puzzled by the Exeggcute charging toward them in groups. Were the Exeggcute crazy?
Meowth, who was next to Ash Ketchum, looked through binoculars and said with surprise, "Boss, they've been hypnotized by a Hypno!"
"What did you say? They were collectively hypnotized?!"
Taking the binoculars from Meowth, Ash Ketchum looked through them, while Pikachu looked at him from Ash Ketchum's shoulder.
Through the binoculars, Ash Ketchum saw the Exeggcute's vacant eyes. He also unexpectedly saw Team Rocket.
"Team Rocket is hypnotized, too? Is someone causing trouble?"
Seeing Team Rocket hypnotized, Ash Ketchum started to suspect that someone was trying to target him. Although he was usually amiable, there would always be malicious people who would want to plot against him.
At that moment, Misty, Suzy, Lyn, Brock, and Gary Oak ran over and asked, "What's going on? What did you find?"
"The Exeggcute are being controlled by Hypnosis; we need to snap them out of it."
"That's not necessary!"
Before Ash Ketchum could finish, the mayor of the small city ran over.
"You all need to seek shelter immediately! I won't let those Exeggcute destroy our city! After we received the notification, we already set timed bombs on their route! That should stop them."
Hearing what the mayor said, Misty and her friends were surprised. However, Ash Ketchum patted the mayor and said, "That won't be necessary, the Continental Hotel will handle it. Please disarm the timed bombs."
The mayor was surprised by Ash Ketchum's words. He asked, "Can you really? As the mayor, I can't allow Exeggcute to destroy the city!"
Looking at the mayor, Ash Ketchum nodded seriously. "Don't worry; the Continental Hotel has built its reputation on action, not boasting."
"Alright, we will go disarm the bombs. We will leave the Exeggcute to you. I hope you can solve this perfectly." After speaking, the mayor left. Suzy, after the mayor left, asked curiously, "I thought Ash Ketchum would be angry, considering they planned to use timed bombs..."
"Normally I would be angry, but the mayor is trying to protect his city. What right do I have to criticize a mayor who is trying to do what's best for his citizens?"
While Ash Ketchum loved Pokémon, he was not one to like them without any thought. The mayor's decision might be cruel, but it could ensure the safety and property of his citizens.
"Meowth, have the Continental Hotel bring all Fire-type Pokémon! Exploud, I need your help!"
"Exploud!!!" (No problem!)
Exploud nodded at Ash Ketchum, indicating that they were ready to start. Following Meowth's notification, the staff from the Continental Hotel brought the Fire-type Pokémon in.
"Lyn, have Ponyta come help as well! Houndoom, Manectric, Rapidash, Charizard, this is up to you! Everyone else, stay behind the Exploud. Once we control the Exeggcute, use Flamethrower to wake them up! Are you ready?"
"No problem!" N
"Exploud! Noivern! Whismur! Noise Mega-Concert!!!"
"Roar!!!!!"
"Awoo!!!!!"
"Whismur!!!!!!"
As the Exploud, Noivern, and Whismur unleashed a terrifying noise attack, even the hypnotized Exeggcute slowed down, overwhelmed by the piercing noise.
Ash Ketchum, covering his ears with Pikachu's help, shouted, "Now! Everyone, Flamethrower!"
"Roar!" N
The Exeggcute received a fiery baptism, waking them up in large numbers.
"Good! The last batch. Charizard, a maximum power Fire Spin in the sky! Gardevoir, I don't need to cover my ears. Use Psychic to control the Fire Spin and wake up the remaining Exeggcute!"
"Gardevoir... (Really, honey, you don't know how to be gentle…)"
Reluctantly removing her hands from Ash Ketchum's ears, Gardevoir nodded at Charizard. Charizard, upon seeing this, shot his most powerful Fire Spin into the sky. However, now it was more of a fiery tornado.
"Gardevoir! (It's over!)"
With a wave of Gardevoir's hand, the powerful psychic energy controlled the fiery tornado, waking up—no, knocking out—the remaining Exeggcute.
Looking at the Exeggcute on the ground, Ash Ketchum scratched his head and said to Pikachu, "I think we might have gone a bit overboard…"
Pikachu looked at the Exeggcute and scratched his head, nodding.
"Pika… Let's pretend nothing happened.)"
