Kapitel 208: 208. The Debut
This is the extra chapter I promised because we hit 450 Power Stones.
This is our highest one so far; and I really couldn't have done without your support.
Enjoy!
————————————————————
After his battle inside of the Petalburg City Gym.
Ash went to the Pokémon Center in order to heal up and teleport Hitmonlee and Phanpy back to Professor Oak's Laboratory for further training under their seniors.
Team Rocket, which was following him all the way, took advantage of Ash's absence and launched an attack on the Gym. With a bang, a not so small hole exploded in the outer wall of the Gym!
The rising smoke and dust immediately attracted the eyes of the family of four, and Max even fell onto his back. May covered her eyes, "What's going on out there?"
"Since you asked so sincerely-!"
"We will tell you with great mercy!"
"Shut up! We don't have time to say all that, meow!"
"While the big boss is away, we have to finish our work!"
"We're were to catch the Pokémon from this Gym!"
"This is our first appearance in the Hoenn Region, it must be grand entrance!"
They said all the later part in a quite voice to not let them hear their grand plan.
Jessie and James were very proud of themselves. They had been watching outside for a long time and saw with their own eyes how powerful Norman's Vigoroth and Slaking were in this Gym.
Taking advantage of Ash's temporary absence, they launched a decisive hidden attack, trying to make a quick victory and capture all these Pokémon that had gone through the battle and were in their weakest form!
It should be noted that they really hade made a good plan this time around!
"You are...Team Rocket, I heard Ash talk about you guys!" May heard Ash talk about the Rocket Trio and knew clearly that they were a bunch of annoying guys.
"Ah, are they your friends, May?" Seeing May tell them their names, Caroline ignored the big hole in her wall and actually said thanks to them, "Thank you for taking care of my little May!"
"No, they are very bad people!" Norman doesn't have any of his other Pokémon's or stop them, and now Ash is not here, what should they do?
Jessie and James reacted quickly, having already thrown their Poké Balls, Weezing used Smokescreen, blocking the view of everyone in the room.
"Everyone, be careful!" Norman finally realized that the two people in front of him came to invade his, but now he must protect his wife and children first before anything else!
So he threw out the Poké Ball that was holding his Slaking, even though it was injured from his battle against Ash.
"Arbok, use Tackle now!" Arbok is a slippery snake, and along with its partner than can use Smokescreen, it was able to see through it, and it hit Slaking hard.
However, it seemed like Jessie's Arbok hit an iron plate because it didn't even make a scratch on Slaking.
"I saw it clearly. Although this Slaking is powerful, it can't attack continuously, so what is this?" Jessie and James had carefully watched the battle between Ash's Dratini and Norman's Slaking.
So they didn't worry much about this Slaking at all, and quickly took the opportunity to snatch all the injured Pokémon here!
In the smokescreen, Max always stood beside May, "May, why don't you take out your Pokémon? When you encounter a Pokémon, you should use your own Pokémon to fight!"
After hearing this, May also made up her mind to join the battle, "Alright then. Go, Torchic!"
But she still didn't know what to do, "So I have to use a move, but what should I use?"
With only a few basic skills in total, May hesitated a bit. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Arbok knocked Torchic away with one swing of its tail. Team Rocket was not very welcoming of Torchic's interruptions.
"Torchic!" May became even more panicked!
Jessie and James have taken control of the situation, "Now!"
"May, tell it to use Ember!" Max quickly reminded May, who was finally able to react and call out, "Torchic, use Ember!"
They saw bright fire shining in the Smokescreen, turning Max into a human charcoal.
Who knows if Torchic did it on purpose or not.
"Ohh, Max, are you okay?"
"It's okay, Torchic's Ember is really not that hot, I'm alright... I think." Max experienced the power of a Pokémon firsthand, which must be a good lesson for him.
The Smokescreen dispersed and Team Rocket had withdrawn form the battle after being easily beaten up Slaking. They did complete their surprise attack mission before Ash could came back. But Slaking, who still by Norman and Caroline's side and not something Team Rocket can beat, has not been taken away.
"Dad, my Torchic is missing!" Only the Torchic that May just got as her Starter Pokémon is missing form here, so she she is now really anxious about it.
The family chased them out of the big hole in the wall, and saw that Team Rocket had flown into the air in with their hot Air Baloon and put Torchic in a cloth bag at the bottom. They looked proud and said, "We will take this Pokémon away, bye for now!"
Torchic is the Hoenn's Regions Royal Starter Fire-type Pokémon. So of course it is naturally a very valuable and an excellent Pokémon in genera. Additionally. it is obviously very easy to get from the very inexperienced May. Team Rocket really made a good plan this time to not attack when Ash was here.
They didn't say much this time, and before Ash came back, they were already hurrying away after achieving their small goal!
Watching them fly further and further away, May sat on the ground in frustration, "My adorable little Torchic, I just got you not long ago and now you're already gone from me! What am I supposed to do without you in my life?!"
"This can't be like this, Sis!" Max wanted to pull her up, "Let's go find Brother Ash, he must have a way to get your Torchic back to you!"
"What happened here?" As soon as Max finished talking, Ash came back to them. He had just talked with Professor Oak about the rewards to him because he caught all three of the Legendary Beasts, and he said that they were already on their way, but it had to be delayed for some time.
"Ash!" Hearing Ash's voice, May suddenly felt like she had found hope, "Team Rocket, took away my little Torchic!"
"Pika?"
Even Pikachu was puzzled as to why Team Rocket appeared so soon again to cause trouble.
It seems to fit their description, so Ash quickly agreed, "Don't worry, we will definitely rescue your Torchic!"
So the group of five people started chasing in the direction in which Team Rocket's Air Baloon flew. It's a pity that no one here has Flying-type Pokémon, otherwise there wouldn't be so much trouble!
Ash left his in the Lab because they were training in the way he told them to, but now he was regretting not bringing his Pidgeot with him.
"Then let's search separately from this point!" Norman suggested, and then he took Caroline to search in another direction. The relationship was really good between them.
"Leg me see if they left any footprints!" Max was lying on the ground with a magnifying glass, not knowing what he was looking for.
"Yeah sure, look at ground, it's not like Team Rocket flew away in the sky!" May was very pissed that this kid was still showing off!
"That's right!" Max quickly stood up from the ground and said with a proud look on his face, "This way I can use my mind, develop brilliant reasoning. Sis, from now onwards, you are my subordinate and will help me to solve this problem!"
May couldn't stand it anymore, "Stop talking nonsense, you moron!" And then punched him in the head.
After being hit a couple times, the Max's eyes were filled with tears and he actually fell to the ground and rolled around, "Why did you hit me?!"
Ash couldn't stand it any longer, so he too hit Max in head with a fist. He immediately held his head and cried out in pain, "It hurts. Brother Ash, you hit him too hard! What did I do to deserve this?"
"Max, you don't stop your hectics now, I will show you my Fist of Love!"
"Ash, let's hurry and gi find my Torchic, okay?" May was really anxious!
"Everyone, we've found it!" Norman and Caroline came back after some unknown time. Ash was a little sweaty and didn't know if they saw him beating their son.
However, they didn't seem to care even if they it, and quickly led everyone to find the Rocket Trio's hot Air Baloon. The three of them seemed not to be there, but Torchic was locked in a cage next to the hot Air Baloon.
"Torchic!" May and Max ran over immediately, and there was no doubt that this was all a trap.
And seconds later, Ahs was right. The two of them fell into a trap created by the Trio.
Ash grabbed Norman and Caroline, who were about to run over, "Leave them to me!"
A pink light flashed in his eyes, and May, Max and Torchic were brought over to him via his Psychic. Max floated in the air and suddenly exclaimed, "Brother Ash, are you really a Psychic?"
Ignoring him, the mission of rescuing Torchic was now completed, Ash shouted sharply, "J1, J2, and Meowth, come out here immediately!"
"Yes sir!" The Trio rushed out of the jungle with a few berries after hearing Ash calm them by the code name he made for them. When they saw Ash, they immediately smiled and said, "Boss, would you like some?"
"Do you have any information about the mysterious organization from before?"
