Chapter 20 First Encounter with Team Rocket, Zhenghui's Beacon
"The battle continues!"
"Greymon, use super flame." Wu Ma shouted.
Greymon spits out a huge fireball and attacks Nidoqueen.
"Nidoqueen, use shadow ball!"
The black shadow ball and the red fire ball collided and exploded directly, and the air flow spread in all directions.
"Greymon, rush over and use sharp claws."
Greymon took advantage of the smoke of the explosion and ran over quickly, waving his arm and slapping Nidoqueen with one claw.
However, Nidoqueen directly stretched out his hand to block the attack.
"Nidoqueen, use your power."
Nidoqueen grabbed the horn on Greymon's head, threw it up, and smashed it to the ground.
"Megaton Boxing."
Nidoqueen continued to attack and punched Greymon. This move caused high damage to Greymon.
"Greymon, come on!"
Nidoqueen's strength exceeded Wuma's expectations, and he didn't know how to deal with it now.
Greymon slowly stood up.
"Greymon, use Super Flame."
"Nidoqueen, freezing light."
The freezing beam collided with the fireball. The freezing beam was so powerful that it directly shattered the fireball and hit Greymon. Greymon was instantly frozen.
"The last move is to destroy the light!"
Nidoqueen released powerful energy, and a ray of light hit Greymon. The ice on its body exploded instantly, and Greymon fell to the ground, losing its ability to fight.
"Greymon has lost its ability to fight. Since all three of Wuma's Pokémon have lost their ability to fight, Garp is the winner."
"Teacher Karp wins!"
"Teacher Karp is the best!"
The students nearby were very excited when they saw Garp winning the battle.
WumaGreymon was taken back. Garp's Nidoqueen was too strong. Wuma's Greymon had only been trained for more than a month, so it was normal that he couldn't beat it.
Greymon's talent is very high, and Wu Ma believes that it won't take long for it to surpass this Nidoqueen.
Garp came over and said with a smile: "Your Pokémon are all very strong. Those two must have just been obtained!"
Wu Ma nodded: "That's right, the only Pokémon left in the past was Stinky Flower."
"I haven't seen you for two years, and I feel like you have changed a lot." Garp suddenly said.
"Okay, I'm hungry too, let's go get something to eat."
Garp brought Wuma and Xiaogang to the cafeteria. The food in the trainer school cafeteria is very delicious, and it is no worse than the one in the Pokémon Center.
It was already getting late today, so Wuma and Xiaogang rested in school for the night. Early the next morning, the two of them decided to continue their journey.
"You have to work hard. I will also participate in this league competition. Then we will see if there is a chance to compete again!"
Wuma nodded: "Okay, I will definitely defeat you when the time comes."
After the two said goodbye to Garp and the students, they continued towards Dead Leaf City.
Although the area of the forest is not very large, it stretches for a long distance. It has been nearly ten days since they left Hualan City, and neither of them has yet to leave the forest.
Wu Ma looked at the map. According to the signs on the map, they should be able to walk out in a day or two.
Xiaogang: Wuma, why don’t we take a break first and get ready for lunch.”
Wuma nodded. After walking all morning, he was already very hungry.
"I still need some firewood here, please pick some up." Xiaogang said.
"Okay." I left the cooking to Xiaogang, and Wuma was always in charge of collecting firewood.
Wuma walked into the nearby woods, looking for dry leaves and branches. Various branches often fell in the woods, so it was not difficult to find firewood.
"Yo yo."
Stinky Flower suddenly started dancing, as if she wanted to say something.
"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
Youyou nodded and pointed in one direction.
"Is there any danger over there?"
Stinky Flower shook his head and said there was no danger.
"Then let's go over and take a look." Since there is no danger, there should be other discoveries, so it's okay to go over there.
Not long after, Wu Ma heard a sound, as if someone was calling for help.
"Is anyone here? Help me! Someone is coming!"
Wuma walked quickly towards the direction from which the sound came. He found a big pit on the ground. He looked into the pit and saw a young man inside.
"Hey, are you okay?" Wuma asked.
"I'm fine. I accidentally fell into a pit, please help me."
"Okay, wait for me, I'll find the rope."
Wuma quickly ran back to the camp and took out the rope from his backpack.
"Wuma, what are you doing with the rope?" Xiaogang asked.
"There's a guy over there who fell into the pit, and I'm going to save him."
"Can you help me?" Xiaogang asked.
"No, I'll be back soon. You can use these firewood first, and I'll pick up some later."
Wuma ran back to the pit and threw one end of the rope into the pit.
"Tie the other end to your body, and I'll pull you up."
After the boy was protected, Wu Ma began to pull the rope. Stinky Flower also helped from behind and quickly pulled the boy up.
"Are you not hurt?" Wuma asked.
"No, thank you very much! By the way, my name is Xiaomi, and I am the newest trainer in Cerulean City."
"My name is Wuma, and I am also traveling. How did you fall into the pit?" Wuma asked.
"It was the people from Team Rocket who did it, and they also took away my Pokémon." Xiaomi said.
"Team Rocket!"
Team Rocket is a well-known bad guy organization in the Kanto area. However, Wuma has never really encountered them in his journey.
"Then what are you going to do next? Are you going to get the Pokémon back?" Wuma asked.
Xiaomi lowered his head and said sadly: "I don't know either. Now that my Pokémon is gone, I don't know what to do."
Seeing Xiaomi's pitiful appearance, Wuma felt a little soft-hearted.
"It's too dangerous for you to be alone in the forest with no Pokémon. Otherwise, you can stay with us for the time being. I'll take you to Dead Leaf City and then figure out a way."
"Really? Thank you so much!" Xiaomi was very grateful.
"It's okay. It's normal for trainers to help each other. Come on, I'll take you to our resting place. I'll also help you apply some medicine for your injuries."
Although Xiaomi said he was not injured, Wuma saw some scratches on his arms and legs.
Wuma took Xiaomi back to the camp.
"Xiao Gang, I rescued the person."
"Hello, my name is Xiaogang." Xiaogang squinted his eyes and said to Xiaomi.
"My name is Xiaomi, excuse me."
"Xiaogang, Xiaomi is injured. He needs some medicine. It's up to you to do it." Xiaogang is more meticulous in his work. Letting him deal with the wound will be better than Wuma.
"Okay, help me take a look at the soup."
Wu Ma walked over, picked up a spoon and stirred the miso soup.
Xiaogang took out the wound medicine from his backpack and gently applied it on Xiaomi.
Although it hurt, Xiaomi didn't cry out.
"It's been taken care of. Don't touch the water in the next few days."
"Thank you." Xiaomi was really touched. Wuma and Xiaogang not only saved him, but also applied medicine to him.
"Xiao Gang, come here and see if the soup is ready?" Wuma said suddenly.
Xiaogang washed his hands, picked up a spoon, scooped out some soup, and took a sip.
"Well, it's ready. It's time to start eating."
"Great!" Wuma was already so hungry that his chest was touching his back.
Wuma took a spoon and scooped up a bowl of soup. He first handed the soup to Xiaomi, and then took another bowl himself.
"The soup made by Xiaogang is delicious. Try it, but be careful of scalding it." Several times, Wuma almost burned his tongue in order to drink the soup quickly.
While eating, Xiaomi told his story.
"I've also heard of Team Rocket. It's an out-and-out evil organization. Your Pokémon was taken away by them, and you probably won't be able to get it back," Xiaogang said.
Xiaomi was very sad. He really loved his Pokémon. He didn't expect that it would be snatched away.
Wuma and Xiaogang had no choice but to take Xiaomi out of the forest safely.
After lunch, the three of them packed up and set off, heading to Kuye City together.
After walking for a few hours, the sun was going down again. As they walked, the three of them suddenly felt empty and they all fell down.
Wuma stood up and touched his sore butt.
"Who is it? Who dug the hole!" Wuma shouted.
"Since you asked the question sincerely."
"Then we will tell you with great mercy."
"Team Rocket!" As soon as Wu Ma heard these two familiar lines, he knew that the opponent was Team Rocket. And it was Team Rocket composed of Musashi, Kojiro and Meowth.
They ignored Wu Ma and continued to talk.
"To prevent the world from being destroyed.
To protect world peace.
Carry out love and true evil.
A cute and charming villain.
Musashi!
Kojiro!
We are Team Rocket traveling across the galaxy.
White hole, a white tomorrow is waiting for us.
That’s it, meow!”
A talking meow suddenly showed its head. When the meow saw the witch horse in the pit, it suddenly froze.
Soon, Meowth reacted and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and hand over the Pokémon, otherwise we will not let you go, Meowth."
"Meow meow, don't talk about stealing my lines." Musashi said with some dissatisfaction.
"If you want Pokémon, of course you can. I just don't know if you can handle it!"
"Xiao Gang, please."
"Come out, Big Rock Snake." Xiaogang released the Big Rock Snake.
The big rock snake used its body to build a ladder, and the Wuma trio and Stinky Flower climbed out of the pit.
Musashi said with some surprise: "You actually ran out, let me show you how powerful we are. Go, Spearow!"
"Come on, Rattata."
Musashi and Kojiro sent out Spearow and Rattata respectively. It seems that they haven't gotten the Arbor Snake and gas bombs yet.
"Stinky Flower, use the seed machine gun."
Stinky Flower sprayed out seed bullets, hitting Spearow and Rattata. The two Pokémon immediately lost their ability to fight.
"How could it be!" Musashi and Kojiro couldn't believe that their Pokémon had lost so quickly.
"Stinky flower, use paralyzing powder."
Stinky Flower released paralysis powder, covering the two people and three Pokémon, and their bodies were instantly paralyzed.
"Xiaomi, are they the ones who stole your Pokémon?"
"Yes, it's them!" Xiaomi was very angry, "Hurry up and give my Pokémon back!"
"Return the Pokémon to you, how is that possible?" Musashi refused.
"Yes, we are Team Rocket. How could the bad guys return the things?" Kojiro continued.
"Then I'll do it myself."
They couldn't move anyway, so Wu Ma walked over directly and took out three elf balls from their bodies.
"These three should be your Pokémon."
Xiaomi checked and found that it was indeed his Pokémon.
"Wuma just now, thank you very much."
"It's okay, it'll be fine when the things are back." Wu Ma turned to look at Musashi and the others, "As for you, just stay here. If you encounter a wild Pokémon, you can't blame me."
The effect of the paralyzing powder will take some time to wear off, and the three of them can't move at all now.
After bypassing Musashi and the others, the Wuma trio continued to set off.
Musashi and Kojiro breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the three Wuma three people leaving. As long as everyone was fine, it didn't matter even if the Pokémon was not taken. However, they had already remembered Wuma and decided to take revenge next time.
After walking for a certain distance, the three of them stopped to rest.
"Everyone, come out."
Xiaomi released three of his Pokémon, namely a Squirtle, a small sea lion and a starfish.
"Are all your Pokémon water-type?" Wu Ma asked.
"Yes, because my goal is to become a water Pokémon master!"
Wu Ma nodded. It is relatively easy to cultivate Pokémon of one attribute. For example, the Four Heavenly Kings and gym trainers in major regions basically have Pokémon of the same attribute.
The sun was about to set, and we wouldn't be able to go far if we continued walking. So Wuma suggested that we rest here for the night.
At night, while sleeping, Wu Ma suddenly heard a cat meowing. He slowly got up and walked quietly towards the woods nearby.
He came to a tree and a meow jumped down.
"Long time no see, Meow Meow." Wuma said hello.
"Long time no see, Wuma, how are you doing, meow?"
"I'm okay. After I separated from you, I have been traveling in various cities. Now I have obtained three gym badges. What about you? Have you become an official member of Team Rocket now?"
Meow shook his head and said: "Not yet Meow. We still have to pass a series of trials before we can officially become members of Team Rocket. Meow. After joining Team Rocket, I tried to find a way to form a team with Musashi and Kojiro Meow."
.But they two are really stupid, they always do the wrong thing."
"So do you like being with them?"
Meow nodded: "Although we always encounter a lot of dangers when we are with them, Meow is still quite happy."
"Yes, this is what it means to have companions. You don't have to have a good life, you will be very happy every day. And Musashi and Kojiro also have their own shining points, I think you will gradually discover them."
When they were separated, Wu Ma told Meow Meow that once he joined Team Rocket, he would have to pretend not to know him. No one knew about their relationship, and it would be more convenient to do something in the future.
arouse suspicion.
Wuma and Meowth leaned against the big tree, telling each other about their experiences over the past month.
After hearing Miao Miao's experience, Wuma was a little frightened. Miao Miao's experience in Team Rocket was much more dangerous than his travels.
"Some things are more dangerous, so you must be careful."
"Don't worry, Meow, I'm very powerful. Although my fighting ability is not strong, my mind is very smart, Meow. It won't be long before we become official members of Team Rocket, Meow."
"Then you have to work hard." Seeing Miao Miao's confidence, Wuma felt relieved.
After chatting for more than an hour, Wuma and Miaomiao separated. Now they belong to completely different camps and cannot have too personal contact.
Wu Ma quietly returned to the camp and lay down to rest.
Early the next morning, after the three of them had eaten, they continued towards Kuye City.
After walking for another two days, the three finally walked out of the woods. However, they were still some distance away from Dead Leaf City.
After walking out of the forest for seven or eight hours, they saw the sea.
"It's the sea, it's great!" Xiaomi rushed towards the seaside.
Wuma looked at the sea from a distance. It was endless and very beautiful. The breeze blew on his face and he felt very comfortable. This was the first time he saw the sea.
"There must be a lot of water Pokémon on the beach. I want to catch them." Xiaomi looked around excitedly.
There are indeed many water-type Pokémon in the sea, but it is not easy to find them on the beach.
"Let's find a place to rest first. We can't sleep outdoors at night on the beach," Xiaogang said.
Wuma and Xiaogang looked around, looking for a place to stay for one night. They suddenly saw a lighthouse in the distance.
"Let's go to the lighthouse. We should be able to rest there." Xiaogang said.
With the protection of the lighthouse, they can spend the night safely.
"Xiaomi, hurry up and leave." Wuma called Xiaomi back who was looking for Pokémon.
"Okay, brother Wuma." Xiaomi ran over quickly and followed Wuma.
After walking for more than ten minutes, they arrived in front of the lighthouse and found the door to enter the lighthouse.
"Is there anyone in the lighthouse?" Wuma asked.
"There should be. Lighthouses are extremely important for ships on the sea, and they are usually manned."
Xiaogang found a doorbell on the wall, so he pressed it.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" The doorbell didn't ring a few times before a voice came from inside.
"Hello, we are trainers passing by and would like to stay for a night." Wuma said.
"If you can let us stay overnight, I can help you prepare delicious food." Xiaogang was worried that the other party would not agree, so he put forward the conditions.
"Okay, come in."
The door opened automatically.
The three of them walked into the lighthouse, and a man with dark green hair appeared in front of them.
"My name is Zhenghui, and I am the owner of this lighthouse. What about you?"
Zhenghui! Wu Ma remembered who this person was.
"My name is Wuma, he is Xiaogang, and this is Xiaomi." Wuma introduced.
"Welcome. Many trainers usually stay at my place, so you don't have to worry."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhenghui. I heard about you from Dr. Omu." Wuma said.
"Oh, you know me?" Zhenghui was a little surprised. He is not as famous as Dr. Ohki in the league."
"Yes, Dr. Oak mentioned you. You invented the Pokémon storage system, right?"
Naturally, Wu Ma had not heard anything about Zhenghui from Dr. Omu. He only knew a little bit about Zhenghui. He brought Dr. Omu in to make his words more credible.
"It's true that I invented it. But compared to Dr. Ohki, I'm still far behind. I just did some basic research."
Wuma knew that, in fact, Zhenghui was much more talented than Dr. Omu. Dr. Omu relied on diligence and hard work, while Zhenghui was completely talented. It only took him a few years to become a famous
Pokémon researcher. If he didn't spend most of his time collecting Pokémon, he would be one of the youngest doctors in the Pokémon League.
"Come here, I'll show you around."
Zhenghui led Wuma and the others to the wall next to them. Wuma looked up and found that there were many stone slabs with Pokémon patterns on them.
"There are so many Pokémon! I have never seen many of them!" Xiaomi sighed.
"These are pictures of Pokémon I collected in the Kanto region. Some of the tablets were found in some ruins, and others were carved by me myself. The Pokémon that have been discovered in the Kanto region so far,
It's almost all inside.
Of course, there are still many Pokémon in this world that we haven’t seen yet. Pokémon existed earlier than us humans, and there are many things we don’t understand, and these need to be explored slowly.”
Wu Ma looked at the slates on the wall and was very surprised. This is exactly the slate version of the Pokémon illustrated book. Being able to depict most of the Pokémon images is really amazing.
Wu Ma suddenly saw a vague stone slab with a Pokémon depicted on it, but he couldn't tell what it was yet.
"Mr. Zhenghui, what is the Pokémon in this position?" Wu Ma asked.
"This is a very special Pokémon. I have been looking for it all these years, but I have never found it."
Zhenghui looked ahead, seemingly far away.
Wu Ma suddenly remembered that when Xiaozhi came to Zhenghui Lighthouse, he encountered a super large Pokémon. But he didn't know what that Pokémon was.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Mr. Xiaogang, you just said that you would help cook. What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Anything is fine, as long as I have the raw materials, I can make it." Xiaogang replied.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Zhenghui took Xiaogang to the kitchen to cook, while Wuma and Xiaomi looked at the lithographs on the wall. Wuma wanted to search to see if there were any Pokémon that Zhenghui had not drawn.
After everyone sat down to have dinner together, the three of them rested in the lighthouse for the night.
