Chương 36: Chapter 36: Yes, The Three of Us Are Strong!

Stay calm! You must stay calm in a battle!

Archer kept repeating this to himself, trying not to let the underhanded tactics get to him.

"Arbok, use Thunder Fang!"

At this moment, Dylan launched an attack.

Arbok opened its menacing jaws, electricity crackling around its sharp fangs, and lunged at Houndoom.

Electric-type Thunder Fang!

"Houndoom! Dodge it!"

"Weezing, use Thunderbolt!"

Archer reacted quickly, immediately giving orders to his Pokémon.

Houndoom had been paralyzed by Glare, but fortunately, the initial paralysis effect had worn off, and the paralysis would now trigger randomly.

However, due to the paralysis, Houndoom's movements had become noticeably sluggish.

But luckily, dodging a Thunder Fang was still possible.

Weezing, on the other hand, began to crackle with electricity, ready to unleash Thunderbolt on Arbok.

"Flamethrower!"

But just then, a scorching flame suddenly blasted towards Weezing, hitting it directly.

It was Charizard's Flamethrower!

Archer's face twisted in frustration as Weezing was sent flying by the Flamethrower. What was he doing just now? How could he have ignored Charizard?!

And at that moment.

"Oh dear~ You've been hit! At this rate, you'll lose soon, right? You'll lose to these two youngsters, won't you, old man? Isn't that right?"

"Ah, yes, yes."

A sarcastic, cheerful female voice chimed in, and Dr. Fuji glanced at Archer with a puzzled expression.

"!!!"

Archer glared at Leah, who was hiding behind Dylan and Red, with a cold stare.

This wretched woman! This clown!

"Arbok, use Stomp."

Dylan chuckled, noticing that Archer was losing his composure.

Arbok's expression grew more menacing as it lunged at Houndoom again, its powerful tail glowing with a brownish-yellow energy.

"Houndoom, use Flamethrower..."

"Dragon Claw!" Red's steady voice suddenly rang out.

Charizard's claws glowed with a sharp green light as it suddenly charged at Weezing and slashed.

Dragon-type Dragon Claw!

"Weezing! Use Thunderbolt!"

Charizard's Dragon Claw struck Weezing, and it immediately followed up with a Flamethrower. Although Weezing countered with Thunderbolt, it was clearly at a disadvantage.

Meanwhile, Houndoom was struck by Arbok's Stomp. As a Ground-type move, Stomp was super effective against Houndoom!

Especially since Thunder Fang had missed earlier, Stomp's power was now doubled, dealing a heavy blow to Houndoom!

And with Houndoom still paralyzed, how could it possibly fight back?

In the blink of an eye, the situation had turned dire. Archer was starting to panic.

Archer's pale, shadowed face was now filled with gloom. The strength of Dylan and Red had exceeded his expectations, but the most infuriating part was that female clown!

"Wow~ Archer-senpai, your Houndoom has fainted. Tsk tsk~ It doesn't seem to be much of a challenge, huh?"

"Arbok doesn't even have a scratch on it."

Leah clicked her tongue in amazement, continuing her psychological warfare.

As she looked at the backs of Dylan and Red in front of her, Leah's eyes narrowed in a smile.

Yes~ The three of us are strong!

Archer's face twitched as he recalled his fainted Houndoom, his icy gaze sweeping over Leah.

With Houndoom out of commission, the outcome of the battle was clear.

And Archer clearly had no intention of sending out any more Pokémon.

"Oh~ Archer-senpai, your gaze is so frightening. You wouldn't blame me just because you lost the battle, would you?"

Leah showed no fear, even pretending to be scared as she hugged herself, speaking pitifully.

Archer's lips twitched, and then he forced a stiff smile.

"Heh heh heh..."

A low, rumbling laugh seemed to squeeze out of his throat.

"Good! Very good! The younger generation these days is truly remarkable."

Archer ignored the female clown and instead focused his gaze on Dylan and Red, offering genuine praise.

Indeed, his earlier mistakes in the battle might have been slightly influenced by that female clown.

But he had to admit, these two young men were extremely talented.

"Are you interested in joining Team Rocket? I can personally recommend you to the boss. Believe me, Team Rocket will offer you generous rewards."

Archer recalled his badly injured Weezing and extended an earnest invitation to the two of them. These were real talents!

Red remained silent.

"Mr. Archer, are you joking with us? Given your current situation, you still want to recruit us?"

Dylan spoke with a slight smile. He was indeed interested in Team Rocket, but had no desire to join them.

A wise bird chooses the right tree to nest in, and with a wealthy benefactor in his corner, his future was bright.

Why join Team Rocket and become a public enemy?

There is only one true ruler in this world, and that is the Pokémon League! Plus, the position of League Champion is open to anyone skilled enough. If power and status were his goals, Dylan could simply challenge the Indigo Plateau.

"Of course, I won't deny that I've lost this battle."

Archer seemed to regain his composure, adopting his signature pose with his right hand behind his back.

"But this mission isn't a complete failure, and Team Rocket will ultimately succeed."

"Oh?"

Dylan and the others frowned slightly at his words, glancing at Dr. Fuji. Wasn't Dr. Fuji the target of Team Rocket's mission?

Dr. Fuji looked just as puzzled when he met Dylan and Red's gazes.

"Dr. Fuji is indeed important and was my primary objective. What a pity."

Archer gave Dr. Fuji a regretful look.

"Dr. Fuji, I sincerely urge you to return to the organization. Whether for yourself or for those children, you understand, don't you?"

Dr. Fuji hesitated, his expression conflicted.

"What nonsense! You're just a loser! Grandpa, don't listen to him. This guy is about to become a prisoner!"

Leah was clearly annoyed. What was Archer trying to pull?

Besides, she had already notified the Vermilion City police. Officer Jenny and her team were surely on their way by now.

Not a single member of Team Rocket on this ship would escape!

"Mr. Archer, do you really think you can leave here safely?"

Dylan held a Poké Ball in his hand. Archer's calm demeanor—did he have another trick up his sleeve?

"Heh heh heh... I will remember this loss. We will meet again, young men. And if you ever change your minds, Team Rocket will always welcome you."

Archer began to retreat quietly.

"Arbok!"

"Charizard!"

Dylan and Red immediately commanded their Pokémon, not willing to let Archer escape.

To Red, this Team Rocket executive was too dangerous.

To Dylan, it didn't really matter if Archer was captured or not. If captured, the League would offer some rewards.

If not, the ongoing conflict between Team Rocket and the Kanto League would only become more interesting. He could just sit back and enjoy the show.

So, either way was fine.

"Oh dear~ Archer, it seems you're in quite a predicament."

Suddenly, a mocking voice came from behind Archer.

A green-haired youth in a black uniform slowly approached, clicking his tongue as he looked at Archer, then glanced at Dylan and the others.

"Executive Proton."

Dylan raised an eyebrow. This person was indeed Proton, another one of Team Rocket's executives.

"Oh~ You know me, kid? Looks like I'm getting famous." Proton grinned.

"There are actually two executives here."

Leah's expression darkened. This was news to her, and it was definitely troublesome.

Archer and Proton, two Team Rocket executives.

"Not two, but three." Proton smiled and corrected her.

There were three Team Rocket executives on board?

Leah and Red both looked slightly alarmed.

"Is the mission complete?" Archer asked Proton softly.

"Of course, it wasn't difficult." Proton shrugged.

"Then let's retreat."

Archer nodded. At least one of their objectives had been achieved.

"The League members will probably arrive soon. It's not safe to stay any longer."

"Okay, I'll follow your lead. You're the commander." Proton spread his hands, then curiously looked at Dylan and the others.

He had received a secret communication from Archer, which indicated that Archer might have been in trouble.

Was it because of these three young people?

"Should we stop them? We could delay them until Officer Jenny arrives."

Leah whispered to Dylan and Red.

Red remained silent, his red eyes turning to Dylan for his opinion.

"Three executives... that's too dangerous. At least we've ensured the safety of the passengers."

Dylan pondered for a moment before suggesting the safest course of action.

Leah and Red, understanding the situation, did not argue.

Though letting Archer go was frustrating, the threat posed by three executives was too great.

None of Team Rocket's executives were pushovers. Even if they weren't Elite Four-level Trainers, they were close to that level of strength.

"Proton's target clearly wasn't Dr. Fuji, so what was the other objective?"

Dylan wondered, feeling as though he had missed something important.

(End of Chapter)


Chương 37: Chapter 37: Dylan! I Challenge You!

 

Archer and Proton retreated, and this operation was undoubtedly a failure.

After all, for Archer, Dr. Fuji was the main target, and it took them a lot of effort to locate him.

But there was no choice; at least another objective was achieved.

On Dylan's side, they first went to the captain's quarters to rescue the poor captain and then returned to the hall.

The hall was still in chaos, as the Rocket members had not yet received the retreat signal.

"Red, Dylan, you're back!"

As soon as Ash and the others saw Dylan's group return, they immediately rushed over.

Ilene walked up to Dylan, scanning him from head to toe with concern. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw he was unharmed.

After all, Archer, a senior Rocket executive, was their opponent, and Ilene was naturally worried.

"How did it go? Did you beat Archer?"

Ash asked eagerly.

"Of course! With my help, we totally thrashed Archer," Leah said proudly, her hands on her hips.

Red and Dr. Fuji remained silent, while Dylan nodded in agreement.

"Wow! Amazing!"

"No surprise from you guys!"

"What about Archer? Didn't you catch him?"

Ash and his friends were thrilled.

"No, the Rockets had more than one senior executive on this mission, so we decided not to pursue," Dylan shook his head.

Even if they had three senior Rocket executives, it would have been difficult to delay them for long.

And after all, they were on the S.S. Anne in the middle of the ocean. If they pushed Archer too hard, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Not to mention the numerous Voltorbs and Electrodes in the hold. Although Dylan had a powerful weapon, it wasn't his Pokémon, and it was uncertain if it would help catch Archer and the others.

"What a pity," Ash said, disappointed.

"It was the right decision. The Rocket members are too reckless and could have done anything," Brock said rationally. Ensuring their own safety and that of the passengers was clearly more important than capturing Archer.

"The Rocket members are retreating," Misty noticed the Rockets in the hall starting to withdraw.

"Archer must have notified them," Dylan deduced at a glance.

"Don't let them escape! These scoundrels!" Ash shouted with righteous indignation. It was one thing not to catch the executives, but letting the regular Rocket members escape was out of the question.

"Yes, let's detain them. Officer Jenny should be arriving soon," Dylan said.

The rest of the task was easy.

Without Archer and Proton, the remaining Rocket members were leaderless. With Dylan and Red joining the fight, they quickly defeated all the Rockets and detained them.

Half an hour later, the Vermilion City police arrived and took over the S.S. Anne, placing the Rocket members in handcuffs. Officer Jenny approached Dylan and the others.

"Thank you for your help. The Rockets even dared to hijack the S.S. Anne. Without your intervention, the consequences would have been unimaginable," Officer Jenny said with a serious expression, having understood the entire situation.

"It's what we should do, though it's a pity we couldn't capture Archer and Proton," Red remained cool, while Leah stayed out of the limelight. Dylan stepped forward to speak.

"You've done an excellent job. We will definitely catch those two dangerous individuals," Officer Jenny said, shaking her head. Archer and Proton, being Rocket executives, were not easy to capture. She was more interested in the trainers who could defeat Archer.

"Would you mind giving us your names? I'll apply for a reward and make sure your heroic deeds are known," Officer Jenny asked with a smile, respecting Dylan and the others' decisions. Not everyone liked publicity, especially since they had antagonized Team Rocket.

Dylan's eyes brightened. This was a great opportunity to advertise the Rota Gym!

"I'm Dylan, a gym leader from Rota."

"..."

"Hehe, I don't need any recognition. Give my share to Dylan and Red," Leah smiled and withdrew again, not wanting to attract attention. If her organization noticed her, it would be troublesome.

Dylan noticed the complex emotions in Leah's eyes. This cheerful, lively girl hid many secrets. But Dylan said nothing, as there was nothing he could do for her against that organization.

"Alright, I understand," Officer Jenny nodded, looking curiously at Dylan.

"Are you also a gym leader?"

"Yes, I was just accompanying a friend on this cruise. I didn't expect this to happen."

"I'm sure you're an excellent gym leader," Officer Jenny smiled. She hadn't heard of the Rota Gym, but any gym leader who could defeat Archer would surely become famous.

"I'll do my best," Dylan replied.

Officer Jenny didn't stay long as there were many Rocket members to process. Fortunately, the passengers were mostly unharmed, except for one person...

On the deck, Tobias stood lost, staring at the endless horizon, his expression bleak.

"Mr. Tobias, rest assured, we will capture the Rockets and retrieve your Pokémon," an officer said sternly, but Tobias was unresponsive.

He felt his life was over, his mind returning to the moment when Proton forced him to abandon Darkrai...

Tobias couldn't imagine Darkrai's look when he made that choice.

His eyes welled up, and he pulled out his phone, dialing a number. With the interference device off, the S.S. Anne was returning to Vermilion City.

The call connected quickly.

"Tobias, are you okay?" An elderly, kind voice answered.

"Grandpa..."

Hearing his grandfather's voice, Tobias couldn't hold back his tears.

"Grandpa, the Darkrai you gave me... It was taken by Team Rocket."

Tobias felt both wronged and sad.

"..." On the other end, the old man was too shocked to speak.

Darkrai was taken by Team Rocket? How did this happen? Even with his status, a legendary Pokémon was incredibly precious. Darkrai followed Tobias because of the old man's connection to its ancestor.

"Grandpa..."

"Don't be sad, Tobias. Those Rockets..." The old man's voice was tired. Team Rocket was a pest in Kanto.

"I have information on a Latios. I can give you its location, but Tobias, this is the last time I'm helping you," the old man said sternly. Finding legendary Pokémon was extremely difficult, and helping his grandson contradicted his principles.

But Tobias was his grandson, so he would help one last time. If Tobias still couldn't succeed, then so be it.

"Thank you, Grandpa," Tobias said with teary eyes, understanding his grandfather's disappointment. Damn Team Rocket! I will have my revenge!

...

In Vermilion City, at the Pokémon Center.

"What a trip! But it's time for me to go," Leah said, retrieving her healed Pokémon from Nurse Joy and waving goodbye to Dylan and Red.

"Bye-bye," Dylan smiled.

"Goodbye."

Red, rarely speaking, responded. Except for family and a certain rival, he was usually silent.

Leah smiled and prepared to leave.

Red turned his gaze to Dylan, his eyes burning.

"?" Dylan raised an eyebrow.

"Dylan, I want to challenge you!" Red said eagerly.

Hearing this, Leah, who was about to leave, stopped and turned around, her eyes sparkling.

Wow! Are these two powerhouses about to fight?!
