As Team Rocket Trio's helicopter drew closer, the Trainers present exchanged glances, their brows furrowing in unison as they realized things weren't that simple.
"Good heavens, why would someone come in a helicopter? Could it be to capture Butterfree?"
A certain Loutoujia was indignant; he had just sent his Butterfree away to pursue its own happiness. How could they let them capture Butterfree?!
Xiao Zhi said to the two Pokémon who volunteered, "Gengar, Butterfree, it's all up to you!"
No sooner had he spoken than Gengar immediately flew out. At the same time, two Shadow Balls condensed in its hands.
These two Shadow Balls emitted a deep purple, eerie glow, as if they were formed from the very essence of the dark night.
When Musashi saw Gengar flying up, she asked Meowth, "Meowth, do you think its move will be effective against our helicopter?"
Meowth looked at Gengar and said disdainfully, "Our helicopter has been reinforced layer by layer, specially custom-made for the Little brat's Pokémon, meow."
"What Thunderbolt... Flamethrower... Shadow Ball, these moves can't even damage the helicopter, meow!"
Meowth rattled off many moves, which were the ones Xiao Zhi's Pokémon were most proficient at. It was clear that they had put a lot of effort into preparing for Xiao Zhi.
However, it seems they didn't mention Butterfree's moves...
Darn it, Meowth, are you looking down on Butterfree?
Gengar had already flown to the front of the helicopter, holding up the Shadow Balls as if threatening the opponent to stop quickly. The surface of the orbs occasionally glowed with purple smoke, emitting an eerie aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
"Hahaha, if you've got the guts, use Shadow Ball, meow!" Meowth's voice came through the loudspeaker.
Upon hearing this, Gengar directly threw the Shadow Balls in its hands towards the helicopter!
The people present watched as the Shadow Balls flew directly towards the helicopter, and just a few meters from the fuselage, they suddenly erupted in a thick smoke.
The thick smoke spread, quickly filling the space around the helicopter and enveloping the entire fuselage.
However, when the thick smoke cleared, people were surprised to find that the helicopter had not suffered any damage. At the same time, the Gangtie behemoth continued to fly, completely unharmed.
"Gengar?" (What's going on?)
Gengar was extremely surprised, not expecting its move to be ineffective, but the explosion just now didn't seem fake, did it?
It was truly puzzling for a ghost.
Among them, a Trainer from Johto saw Gengar's Shadow Ball fail and exclaimed, "How can this Gengar use a deceptive move? Isn't this pure scamming?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Gengar was so angry it almost used Shadow Ball on the other party. Fortunately, it still suppressed its anger, otherwise, it really wanted to give the other party a taste to see if it was a scam.
Seriously, with so many Trainers here, only Xiao Zhi's Gengar put in effort, and now it's being accused of faking it. No ghost could tolerate that.
Musashi saw that Gengar's move really had no effect and quickly shouted to Meowth, "Now! Quickly capture these Butterfree! Especially that pink one!"
Meowth gripped the control stick and nodded, "Understood, meow!"
Meowth manipulated the control stick with tension and focus, a hint of ruthlessness in its eyes.
It understood that this opportunity was crucial; if they could successfully capture this pink Butterfree, they had a high chance of getting promoted and making a fortune.
Under Meowth's operation, the helicopter began to slowly approach the pink Butterfree. It flexibly adjusted its altitude and speed to better approach the target and trap Butterfree.
The pink Butterfree sensed something was wrong and began to struggle to escape the helicopter's pursuit. It desperately flapped its wings, flying quickly, trying to break free from the giant net that pursued it.
Unlike the original, this time Team Rocket Trio's main target shifted to this pink Butterfree. It was as if the other Butterfree were just an added bonus.
Xiao Zhi's Butterfree flew to the side of the pink Butterfree (let's call her Xiao Fen from now on), wanting to protect her.
Xiao Fen saw Butterfree blocking in front of her, and her expression subtly changed. She hadn't expected the Butterfree she rejected to actually come back to protect her; she was truly touched.
"Bleep..." (Xiao Fen is still here, no, I can't back down!)
Butterfree was a little scared, but still shielded the other party behind him, looking solemnly at the approaching giant net.
Xiao Zhi was also a little anxious and quickly asked for external help: 'Li Dage, I estimate that psychic moves won't work on this net either. What should we do now?'
'Don't panic. Even many Iron Ants can bite a Great Tusk to death. As long as the Butterfree gather together and use Air Cutter, they can definitely shred this net.'
Li Qingfeng quoted an idiom, which made Xiao Zhi quickly shout to the distant Butterfree, "Butterfree, tell your companions to use Air Cutter together!"
Hmm, I'll ask Li Dage what Iron Ant and Great Tusk are later.
Butterfree nodded, flapping its wings strenuously. The sound of air being torn echoed through the sky, forming sharp blades of wind. These wind blades whistled past, moving so fast they were difficult to grasp.
For the Butterfree it loved, it would spare no effort to launch an incredible attack!
Air Cutter!
(A certain Gridfly: Sounds familiar, let's see again.)
Butterfree's Air Cutter was strong, but only one was using the move, which was somewhat strenuous. It looked at the surrounding Butterfree fleeing in all directions and shouted to them:
"Bleep!" (Are you going to give up already? If you always run away like this whenever you encounter difficulties, then how will you cross the great sea and reproduce?!)
To be honest, Xiao Zhi's Butterfree felt disappointed in these Butterfree.
Under its persuasion, this group of Butterfree also began to act!
The stacked Air Cutters were like a shimmering silver light, rotating and condensing into a powerful energy.
Under the guidance of Xiao Zhi's Butterfree, these Air Cutters converged, forming an enormous wind blade!
This wind blade was exceptionally sharp, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression. It gleamed with a cold light, carving beautiful and deadly arcs in the air.
Their gathered energy burst forth, like a colossal silver sword slicing through the sky!
Almost instantly, this giant wind blade cut through the giant net. In the violent explosion, the giant net was torn into countless fragments, scattering like fallen leaves caught in a strong wind!
Unexpectedly, Team Rocket Trio had no protection against cutting attacks and were blown away in the explosion.
"What a nasty feeling!"
Butterfree brought Xiao Fen to Xiao Zhi, and Xiao Zhi also asked:
"Butterfree, would you and my Butterfree like to go live in a place filled with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers? There will be people there to take care of your daily lives."
