Since the establishment of the Tera Dome, most people have opted for safer methods of catching Pokémon. Consequently, the number of poachers and Team Rocket members in the wild has actually increased.
After all, it's hard for a few to fight against many. If they were discovered by ordinary trainers and Officer Jenny was called, it would be troublesome.
The Officer Jennys are a large family of police officers stationed all over the world.
Almost no one would actively provoke them. Plus, with their legendary Arcanine and canine Pokémon like Herdier, escaping them is extremely difficult.
But it seemed poachers and members of Team Rocket had appeared nearby.
This was the situation Satoru was facing now. He could faintly hear the cries of a monkey and the voice of an adult man.
His hearing was excellent, probably due to his physical condition. It seemed Toyokawa Sakiko, beside him, hadn't heard anything.
Surveying the area, Satoru quickly found the specific location.
A green figure... it was a Thwackey, and in front of it were a Shiftry and a Mightyena, along with the trainer controlling them.
This is trouble...
My fighting force here is Froakie and Raichu.
Satoru didn't consider Sakiko. It would be too much to drag her into this after she had already brought him here.
The problem was that both of his Pokémon were at a disadvantage against the opponent's Shiftry. At best, they could use Iron Tail and Quick Attack.
A highly unfavorable situation!
"What's wrong?" At this moment, Sakiko noticed Satoru's serious expression, and a sense of unease crept into her heart.
She quickly followed his gaze, and in an instant, Sakiko covered her mouth in disbelief, a deep fear welling up inside her. Her heart began to race, as if enveloped by an unknown shadow.
"ROAR!"
Mightyena pounced on Thwackey with astonishing speed, leaping up and pinning it to the ground. Then, using its powerful bite force, it accurately bit down on Thwackey, effectively restraining it.
"Pachi... pachi..."
Thwackey cried out in pain, struggling to break free from Mightyena's jaws. However, Mightyena's teeth were like an iron lock, clamped tightly onto it.
If that were a Gardevoir being pinned down, it would be unwatchable.
Satoru's brows furrowed, and he subconsciously started to move, but Sakiko suddenly grabbed his hand, stopping him.
"Wait, don't go."
"Huh?"
"That person over there is from Team Rocket... We should leave first."
Because her father had been attacked by Team Rocket, Sakiko had a general understanding of their characteristics, so she was certain the opponent was a member.
Although the proud Sakiko yearned for revenge, she didn't have enough strength at the moment.
At the very least, she would need to bring the Pokémon she had left with her family.
[That's right, Satoru-baby, let's go back first. There's no need to get involved in this.]
[Mission: Choose to escape from here. Reward: Acrobatics (TM)]
You useless system, why are you so spineless?!
Satoru complained internally. A normal system would definitely issue a mission to defeat the Team Rocket member and save the Thwackey.
But this system was just absurdly pathetic, with no ambition at all.
[B-but I'm more worried about you ┬＿┬]
Thwackey struggled to break free from Mightyena's control, but Mightyena held on with all its might. Beside the Shiftry, various smaller, weaker Pokémon lay defeated on the ground.
Both Sakiko and Furiko wanted him to stop, but Satoru had no intention of running. He clenched his fists, his resolve firm.
Not even his own safety or the system's reward could stop him.
He had heard that in the Paldea region, after defeating or capturing wild Pokémon through normal battles, Tera Raids, or auto-battles, you would get some materials from that Pokémon's family.
Most of these materials could be used at a TM Machine to craft TMs.
Such a thing was not permitted in the Kanto region.
The thought of Pokémon being captured and subjected to such things...
"Sorry, Sakiko. You go ahead and call Officer Jenny." Satoru abruptly shook off Sakiko's hand, turned back to look at her, and the sincerity and focus in his eyes deeply captivated her.
"I can't just leave them!" Satoru said firmly. His voice was faint, but hard as steel. His figure gradually disappeared among the distant trees, leaving only those words echoing in the air.
"So dazzling..."
Sakiko's amber eyes widened in that moment.
[...I still think it's better to go back. Sigh~ Are you an idiot?]
[Mission: Defeat Team Rocket. Reward: Electroweb (TM)]
The distance between them wasn't great. Satoru let his Froakie out, flanked by his Pokémon on either side.
"Raichu, use Iron Tail! Froakie, use Water Pulse! Target the Mightyena!"
He instantly gave commands to both Pokémon. Unsure of the strength of the more troublesome Shiftry, he decided to take out the Mightyena first and rescue the Thwackey.
"Rai... Rai!"
Following Satoru's command, the power of steel quickly enveloped Raichu's tail, turning it into a bright light that struck Mightyena fiercely.
"Awooo~~"
The Iron Tail slammed into Mightyena's body with a dull thud. Mightyena yelped in pain and was knocked back a few steps, with not even a moment's rest.
"Kero, kero!"
Froakie immediately let out a loud cry, gathering a water sphere in its hands and launching it at Mightyena.
The Water Pulse surged like a giant wave and slammed into Mightyena.
"Awooooo..."
The immense impact sent Mightyena flying back as if hit by a cannonball, finally crashing to the ground in the distance, with a few minor wounds.
"Huh? Damn it, who's there... A student?"
The Rocket grunt was startled by the gust of wind from the moves. He instinctively covered his eyes with his hand to shield them from the wind and dust.
At this moment, his vision was blurred. He could only make out the figures of Satoru, Raichu, and Froakie through a small gap.
[Satoru-baby, let me tell you first, that Shiftry is quite strong. According to my scans, it's about Gym Leader level. You have to be careful.]
It's fine. I'm invincible.
We will win!
At this point, it didn't matter if it was Elite Four level or Champion level.
I have to beat this guy and save these Pokémon.
Satoru stretched out his hand, his aura surging.
"I'm Satoru from Pallet Town, and I'm the one who's going to defeat you!"
