Koga stood with his arms crossed the entire time, appearing casual yet strict.
Pidgeotto was put to sleep directly by Stun Spore and fell to the ground.
"Pidgeotto, come back!"
"Charmander!"
"Venomoth, Stun Spore!"
"Charmander, Flamethrower!"
The flames Charmander spewed directly incinerated all of Venomoth's Stun Spore into ashes.
"Good job, Charmander!" Ash said confidently.
At this moment, the roof began to crack, and Team Rocket suddenly appeared.
This time, they were dressed and made up like ancient Japanese Kabuki performers.
"Since you asked so earnestly,
We will answer you with great compassion,
To prevent the world from being destroyed,
To protect world peace,
Embodying love and truth's evil,
Cute and charming villain characters,
Jessie,
James,
We are Team Rocket, traversing the galaxy,
A white hole, a white tomorrow awaits us.
That's how it is, Meowth!"
This time, Team Rocket's costumes were not only strange, but they also used a theatrical singing style that was unpleasantly off-key.
"All the Poison-type Pokémon here belong to us, Team Rocket!" Meowth jumped out and pointed at Alex and the group.
"What are you talking about?" Alex said, annoyed.
"Prepare yourselves!"
As a result, Jessie and James, due to their heavy clothing, tripped and fell flat on the ground.
"It's really inconvenient to move dressed like this."
"When you come to a ninja house, you should dress like Kabuki; that's what taste is all about," James and Jessie said slowly.
"If you can't move, you can't carry out the mission, Meowth."
After Meowth finished speaking, Jessie understood. "Okay, I know."
Then the two of them discarded their disguises and released Ekans and Weezing.
"Ekans, Ekans! Weezing, Weezing!"
"Trainers, let's pause the duel for now," Koga said, looking at the arrogant Team Rocket.
"Charmander, Venomoth, Venonat, Beedrill, you go help too!"
Koga, Ash, and Ayako simultaneously released their Pokémon to attack.
"The more, the merrier," James smirked, releasing sticky silk from his hand, similar to a spider web, directly trapping the charging Pokémon.
"Pikachu!"
"Don't get in the way!" Jessie, seeing the opportunity, also released silk from her hand, entangling Pikachu.
"Go, Starmie!"
But Psyduck ran out on its own.
"Never mind, Starmie, go!"
Misty already had a Poké Ball in her hand, but before she could release Starmie, Psyduck blocked her again.
"You're Psyduck, not Starmie! You're driving me crazy; I can't do anything with you. Go away!"
After Misty finished speaking, Psyduck ran to her and hugged her leg.
"Get out there quickly, you annoying thing!" Misty was furious, almost kicking Psyduck away.
"Eh, what are Psyduck's attack moves?" she asked through gritted teeth.
"You should ask the Pokédex about that," Alex said, suppressing a laugh as he took out his Pokédex to see what abilities Misty's Psyduck truly possessed.
"Psyduck's attack move, one: Tail Whip."
"Psyduck, use Tail Whip attack!"
After Misty spoke, she saw Psyduck's tail wagging back and forth at Alex and the others, and then it even blushed.
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
"How is that an attack move?" Misty said, clenching her fist.
"I think there must be other moves."
"Psyduck's attack move, two: Tickle."
"Psyduck, use Tickle attack!"
Psyduck then extended its claws and rushed toward Ekans. As a result, with one swipe, it was easily bitten on the head by Ekans.
Afterward, it was so scared that it ran around wildly.
"How can there be such a weak Pokémon? My head hurts so much," Misty said, covering her head in despair.
"In any case, let's retreat first."
After Koga finished speaking, he pulled down the tassel rope beside him.
A group of Voltorb fell from the roof.
"What is this? So annoying."
After Jessie spoke, she flicked her right hand, releasing countless sticky spider silks that directly tied up all the Voltorb.
"With this, we can play bowling anywhere, Meowth," Meowth said with a smile, holding a Voltorb.
"Quick, put it down! That's a Voltorb!" James said in a panic.
Then the Voltorb directly self-destructed, releasing a large amount of smoke, and Koga led Alex and the others out.
"Don't you think this room is a bit strange?"
"Both the pillars and the walls are slanted," Alex said, holding Beedrill.
"This is called a slanted room; it can be used to confuse the enemy's judgment," Koga explained.
"It's no good! This silk thread can't be removed! Pikachu, how about using Thunder Shock attack?"
However, this spider silk is not conductive, so Pikachu's Thunder Shock couldn't be used.
At this moment, the wall of the room was broken by Team Rocket.
"I think the center of gravity of this room is a bit strange," Jessie said, looking inside the room.
"I can't keep my balance!" James said in a panic, tilting his body.
"Oh, don't be nervous! This is a slanted room; don't be fooled. Give them back the Voltorb, Meowth."
Meowth, as expected of a strategist, immediately saw through the secret of the slanted room. The thrown Voltorb exploded, producing a huge cloud of smoke.
Afterward, Misty's Psyduck ran back and forth in front of Team Rocket tirelessly.
"What, what is this silly duck doing?" Meowth said angrily.
"I can't stand it! You were called out by mistake. Come back!" Misty said angrily, but because Psyduck was running around, it couldn't be recalled into its Poké Ball.
Then Psyduck was swatted away by Meowth.
"Oh, even Team Rocket doesn't want him."
At this moment, Psyduck's headache reached its peak, and then its eyes emitted blue light, directly immobilizing Team Rocket.
"Psyduck's attack move, three: Petrify."
Then it used Confusion to slam Team Rocket around the room.
"Psyduck's attack move, four: Confusion."
Just at the critical moment, Psyduck suddenly stopped having a headache, and Team Rocket was about to launch a new attack.
At this moment, Alex stepped forward. "This time, let me do it."
"Come out, Gyarados! Mega Evolution!" Alex shouted, pressing the button on his Mega Evolution bracelet.
Only then did countless rays of light connect between Red Gyarados and Alex, and then Gyarados's appearance suddenly changed, becoming even larger. The horns on its head grew bigger, and the fins on its body extended, making it look even fiercer.
"Ah, this…" Everyone present was stunned.
"Never mind, go Arbok, Weezing!"
"Hmph, Mega Gyarados, show them your strength! Hydro Pump attack!"
"Roar!!!"
The Mega Evolved Gyarados gathered an even grander blue light from its mouth, unleashing a Hydro Pump attack three or four times stronger than a normal Hydro Pump. The powerful recoil forced it to slam its tail on the ground to avoid being pushed backward by the impact.
One move sent Team Rocket flying into the sky.
"This is Red Mega Gyarados! This person is…" Koga observed, going from shock to contemplation.
"Wow, that's really amazing! It's just too strong, and that Psyduck too," Miss Ayako said, kneeling on the ground with a smile.
"Yes, the power you displayed is incredible. How about a trade? Would you exchange your Psyduck for my Venomoth?"
Mr. Koga was completely captivated by Psyduck's strength, even wanting to trade Pokémon.
"Your skills are so excellent that I can't help but want to give you the Pink badges."
"Oh, the battle just now isn't over yet."
"Then I'll use him, Golbat!"
"Golbat, a Poison/Flying-type Pokémon, has sharp teeth and will suck 300cc of blood from its opponent."
"Golbat, use Wing Attack on him!"
"Charmander, use Ember attack!"
Charmander spun, scattering embers from its tail, preventing Golbat from continuing to use Wing Attack up close.
"Golbat, use Supersonic attack!"
The noise released by Golbat caused everyone present to suffer greatly; even Alex couldn't stand it and covered his ears.
"Charmander, Flamethrower!"
Ash endured the discomfort and commanded Charmander.
Then Charmander continuously used Flamethrower, disrupting Golbat's Supersonic attack.
"Good! Give him the final Fire Spin!"
Charmander unleashed a powerful Fire Spin, trapping Golbat in the air and rendering it unable to battle.
"I admit defeat wholeheartedly. The Voltorb that was stolen tonight also received help from Psyduck and Gyarados, so the Pink badges belong to both of you," Mr. Koga said with a smile.
"Both of you??"
"Hahahahaha! The other one is this young man named Alex. His Gyarados evolved in such a way for some unknown reason, but its strength is already very powerful. I am no match for him, and he also helped drive away Team Rocket."
"Therefore, you both deserve it," Mr. Koga said, handing over the badges to the two of them.
"Our path of training is still long. Ayako, keep up the good work!"
"Yes, brother."
Just then, when Koga handed the badge to Alex, he noticed a red 'R' symbol on his wrist.
Team Rocket.
Afterward, Koga saw Alex and the others off, and Alex and his companions then embarked on a new journey, heading toward the next Gym badges.
