Looking at the dark mass of people before them, even though they were outnumbered more than ten to one, Ash showed no fear or intention of backing down.
Natsui also shook his head and said to the pair on the submarine in a 'rather regretful' tone, "Ganging up with superior numbers again. You guys really have no new tricks. Can't you send out some high-level combatants?"
He said this shamelessly, seemingly having completely forgotten that the first few times he faced legendary Pokémon, he had also used 'human wave' tactics to achieve victory.
Cassidy and Butch sneered.
Truly clueless about the danger they're in!
Even now, they're not abandoning Lugia and running? Are they planning to put up a futile resistance?
But so what?
No matter how strong Natsui's Pokémon were, they had the numerical advantage. Even if each person only sent out one Pokémon, a saturation attack would be enough to overwhelm any opponent!
Moreover, they wouldn't play by any rules or morals. While attacking the Pokémon, they would also directly attack the trainers!
Even if Natsui and Ash's Pokémon weren't defeated in a short time, as long as the two of them were captured, their Pokémon would have to surrender and be at their mercy!
"I admire your courage," Butch said mockingly. "But some things can't be solved by just acting tough!"
As he spoke, the Team Rocket members all took out their Poké Balls. As they released their respective Pokémon, in an instant, dozens of Zubat and dozens of Weezing appeared in the air!
These flapping Pokémon blotted out more than half the sky. From Natsui and Ash's perspective, the dense swarm was quite a spectacular sight!
However, having seen such scenes many times before, Ash naturally showed no weakness. He took out all of his Poké Balls and threw them all out at once.
Pop, pop, pop, pop...
As the Poké Balls opened one by one and the blue light faded, Heracross, Bayleef, Quilava, Totodile, Noctowl, and Pikachu, who was always by his side, all appeared—a total of six Pokémon!
At the same time, Natsui also sent out his Pokémon.
Gardevoir, Charizard, Jolteon, Dragonair, Scyther, and the Eevee he had gotten from the five Kimono Sisters—six Pokémon also appeared in front of him.
In just that short moment, over a dozen Pokémon had formed a battle line, ready for a fight!
The tension was thick on both sides. Although the strength of their Pokémon was a cut above the opponents', they were still at a clear numerical disadvantage. Each side had its pros and cons, and it was uncertain which would ultimately be victorious.
This situation was also partly because Natsui wasn't going all out. After all, in his pouch, he still had Pupitar and crystal steelix, who had not yet been sent out. However, these two Pokémon were not well-suited for battling by the sea, so they didn't make an appearance.
Of course, besides them, he still had two trump cards—Suicune and Raikou—that he hadn't used.
After spending a long time with him, Suicune could now obey his commands, but Raikou was still a bit resistant and would need more time to be fully tamed. Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't dare to release Raikou easily.
But besides himself, Natsui believed that Team Rocket must also have some tricks up their sleeve!
Now it's a matter of who can't hold out first and uses up all their tricks!
At this time, Gengar also emerged from his shadow, guarding Natsui's left and right sides with Gardevoir.
No matter the battle situation, the first thought in these two Pokémon's minds was always to protect their trainer's safety.
Want to harm my trainer?
You'll have to get through my dead body first!
By the seaside, the atmosphere was frozen. A great battle was about to erupt.
At this moment, seeing so many bad guys and Pokémon wanting to snatch Silver, Shuichi, despite being a little scared and his legs feeling a bit weak, still shouted from the back, "Hero-brother, I'll help too!"
Saying that, he was about to have his Lanturn swim among Natsui and Ash's Pokémon.
Glancing at him, Natsui shook his head. "Your Lanturn should stay right where it is. Protecting yourself and Silver is your primary goal!"
Shuichi opened his mouth. "But..."
"No buts!" Natsui said in an unquestionable tone. "Silver is your friend, right? You are the last line of defense by its side. You must protect it!"
Hearing the Sea Hero say this, Shuichi also realized the gravity of his responsibility and nodded forcefully.
"Yeah! I understand, leave it to me!!"
With things having developed to this point, there was no more need for words. In a blur, it was unclear who made the first move, but the Pokémon on both sides charged at each other at the same time!
When the opposing Pokémon clashed, they quickly formed more than a dozen small battlefields, turning into a chaotic melee.
It wasn't that Natsui and Ash's Pokémon didn't want to cooperate; it was just that there were too many enemies. They not only had to watch out for the opponents' moves but also be careful not to block their allies' line of sight. This forced them to fight individually and gradually spread out.
Dozens of Zubat flapped their wings, emitting sharp screeches. Their agile bodies flew everywhere, fast and swift, dazzling the eyes. They employed a hit-and-run strategy, making it impossible to keep up.
In contrast, the Weezing floated slowly in the air, but they spewed thick smoke from their mouths. Fearing poison, the Pokémon didn't dare to get close and could only attack from a distance.
Quilava spewed flames on the ground, Pikachu took on ten opponents at once, its released electricity zapping several Zubat that tried to launch a sneak attack, and Noctowl flapped its wings, blowing away the thick black smoke...
At first, Ash could still give a few commands, but as the battlefield became more chaotic and noisy, he could no longer be of much help.
Natsui, on the other hand, stretched out his hand and placed it on Gardevoir's shoulder. Through its telepathy, he could accurately and clearly transmit his commands into his Pokémon's minds, achieving remote command at critical moments.
'Charizard, use Dragon Rage!'
'Scyther, quick, go help Eevee! It's been surrounded by Zubat!'
'Jolteon, release your electricity from a bit farther away! Don't hurt our own!'
With the efforts of the dozen or so Pokémon, although they took some damage from time to time, many more opponents were defeated and fell from the sky.
However, there were still too many remaining enemies. As Team Rocket released more Pokémon, Natsui and Ash's front line became precarious. A few Zubat even took advantage of their inattention, flew over their heads, and directly attacked Silver in the back...
