Chapter 66: Chapter 66: The Retreating Team Magma
---
"Houndoom, use Dark Pulse!"
After glaring at Gary, Tabitha immediately ordered Houndoom.
After receiving the order, Houndoom immediately gathered a purple-black power in its mouth, and then, after aiming at Gary's Arcanine, fired the prepared Dark Pulse.
"Use Flamethrower!"
Seeing this, Gary also waved his hand and shouted at Arcanine.
Arcanine was also unambiguous and immediately sprayed a hot column of fire from its mouth to meet the incoming Dark Pulse.
With a "bang," the two moves disappeared in the air after an explosion.
"Shadow Ball!"
After seeing that the attack had no effect, Tabitha continued to command Houndoom angrily.
A black energy ball instantly left the mouth of Houndoom and continued to rush towards Arcanine.
"Arcanine, use Agility!"
Arcanine exerted a little force on its limbs and then immediately disappeared from the spot, making Houndoom's Shadow Ball completely miss.
In the next second, Arcanine appeared behind Houndoom, posing in an attacking posture.
"Use Fire Fang!"
After receiving Gary's order, Arcanine, with its teeth wrapped in flames, immediately bit Houndoom.
After being bitten by Arcanine, Houndoom immediately let out a painful whine. Whether it was the sharp teeth of Arcanine or the flames wrapped around them, it continued to hurt Houndoom.
"Houndoom, use Crunch!"
Facing the pain of Houndoom, Tabitha did not care but continued to command Houndoom coldly.
Houndoom immediately endured the pain and opened its mouth, ready to bite Arcanine.
Under Gary's command, Arcanine directly let go, dodged Houndoom's Crunch move, and returned to Gary's side, continuing to stare at Tabitha and Houndoom on the opposite side.
"Use Hyper Beam!"
After Houndoom's wave of attacks failed to hit Arcanine, Tabitha continued to launch an offensive.
"Use Protect!"
Because Gary was behind Arcanine, under Gary's command, Arcanine immediately used the Protect move, creating a thin green barrier to firmly block Houndoom's Hyper Beam.
"Use Flare Blitz!"
After resisting Houndoom's Hyper Beam, Arcanine immediately ignited a raging flame and then rushed over at high speed with Houndoom as the target.
After a red lightning struck Houndoom, Houndoom was immediately knocked out by the impact.
It kept passing Tabitha and finally fell heavily to the ground.
After suffering such a fierce attack from Arcanine, Houndoom finally fell down completely after a whimper.
"Useless!"
Looking at Houndoom that could not continue to fight, Tabitha also cursed directly.
Although Tabitha was very angry about Houndoom's performance, it was one of his main forces after all, so after cursing, he still took it back.
At the same time, the two members of Team Magma who fought against Gary's Umbreon and Stern, as well as their Houndooms, were also defeated one after another.
The helpless members of Team Magma also took back their Houndooms that had lost their combat ability with a helpless look on their faces and then returned to Tabitha's side.
"Sorry, sir, the mission failed!"
One of the members of Team Magma shouted to Tabitha in a low voice.
"I know."
Tabitha himself was defeated, so he didn't blame them.
"It's a bit difficult, let's retreat!"
Tabitha looked at Gary, Stern, and the three Pokémon who were approaching, and then gave his own orders.
"Okay."
After receiving the order from the cadre Tabitha, these people also began to slowly retreat to the back.
"They want to run, stop them!"
Stern saw them retreating, so he immediately shouted to Gary.
Before Gary and Stern could chase them, a red helicopter suddenly appeared in the air above them.
Tabitha and others immediately pulled the rope from the helicopter and then followed the helicopter to escape.
"Damn, let them escape!"
After seeing this scene, Stern stopped and said with a little regret.
"It's okay, as long as the stone is safe."
Gary beside Stern shook his head and comforted him.
"That's true."
Hearing Gary say this, Stern thought so too, so he didn't say anything else.
But after thinking about it, Stern handed the suitcase in his hand to Gary.
Gary was a little puzzled by Stern's action, so he asked curiously: "Director Stern, what are you doing?"
"I think this stone has been targeted by the guys from Team Magma. It is estimated that this stone is related to Groudon, the Continent Pokémon. In order to ensure its safety, I want to entrust it to you."
Faced with Gary's question, Stern immediately explained.
"This is not good."
When Gary heard that Stern was going to hand over the stone to him, he was still a little hesitant, after all, this was something Stern had worked hard to get.
"It's okay, if it stays with me, it might be snatched away by Team Magma next time."
Stern also knew what Gary meant, so he said with a smile.
"I understand."
After hearing what Stern said, Gary accepted the stone.
"I will give this stone to Mr. Steven later, what do you think?"
Now this stone is of no use to Gary, so it is better to give it to Steven for safekeeping.
"Mr. Steven, of course, no problem."
After hearing that Gary was going to give the stone to the former champion of Hoenn, Steven, Stern was also very satisfied with the result.
"Gary, what happened?"
At this time, Ash and the others who went out to buy shaved ice also hurried over.
They also heard this strange sound before, and they were going to take a look, but they were stopped by the three guys from Team Rocket, so it took a lot of effort to get rid of them and rush here.
"This is what happened."
Then Gary explained the whole process to Ash and the others one by one.
The sight returned to Team Magma, and Tabitha received a call from the leader.
"How is the matter going?"
A figure appeared on the screen.
"Sorry, leader, the mission failed!"
Tabitha immediately lowered his head and said.
"What happened?"
After the leader of Team Magma asked, Tabitha informed the leader of what happened.
"Forget it, since the mission failed, forget it, the stone is useless, you guys come back!"
"Yes!"
After receiving the leader's return order, the helicopter that was originally floating in the air immediately set out on the road to return.
