If Lugia is released now, it will turn into a wild beast that attacks indiscriminately. Especially at level 75, its strength is not low. In addition, it is a legendary Pokémon. Xiao Shi is not confident that he can subdue it with his fists.
However, telepathy can block out the interference of anger and completely convey the meaning you want to express to the other party.
"ah!!"
Lugia, still angry, paused for a moment, then looked down at Alakazam and Gary with a puzzled look in his eyes, wondering who had just communicated with him telepathically.
“Alakazam, tell Lugia I’ll help it find its babies and calm it down,” Gary said.
Alakazam provided simultaneous interpretation, relaying Gary's words to Lugia in real time.
"Ah!" Lugia calmed down, but it didn't trust humans at all, especially since it had been captured by them not long ago. In its eyes, humans were no good now.
“If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn’t have come to save you. Besides, you can only trust me now, right?” Xiao Mao said.
Lugia is just angry, not brainless. After Xiao Mao's analysis, Lugia realized that Xiao Mao was right. Now, it can only seek help from the humans in front of it.
"Okay." Lugia agreed to Gary's request and decided to cooperate with him.
"Alright, release Lugia," said Shigeru.
The hypnotized Team Rocket man immediately went to the machine and began operating it on the control panel. He shut down the instrument, the energy shield around the instrument dissipated, and Lugia was freed.
“Luggia, follow me, I will find your child,” said Shigeru.
[Ding! Mission issued: Capture the legendary large bird spirits Ho-Oh and Lugia / Reward: Master Candy x20; for each bird captured, reward: God's Crown x1.]
[Ding! Lugia has been successfully captured. Rewards have been sent to your inventory.]
Just then, the system notification sounds rang out one after another.
Gengar succeeded.
"Ah!" Lugia nodded, but looked very anxious. Just now, it suddenly couldn't sense its child's presence anymore.
"Take us to Little Lugia," Shigeru ordered.
The Rockets man nodded and led Gary to the place where Lugia was being held. The two places were not far apart, but the route was complicated and not easy to find.
"...So many people!"
Upon arriving at a passage, Gary saw many Team Rocket members lying on the ground, with some Pokémon unconscious. Clearly, a battle had taken place here; Ash and his friends must have clashed with these Team Rocket members while trying to rescue Lugia.
Bang! !
A collision sound came from afar. Gary stopped following the Team Rocket man and ran over alone, accompanied by two Pokémon, with Lugia following behind him.
Soon, they saw that the door to the first floor of the passage ahead was open, and light was coming from inside. Gary rushed to the door and saw Ash and the others, along with Hiro, confronting Professor Nanbo, who was wearing a white coat.
Dr. Nanbo sent out an Electabuzz with a device on its head called the Rage Device. This device could increase a Pokémon's rage to increase its power, and neither Pikachu nor Raine could defeat it.
"Lugia, use Cyclone on Electabuzz!" Gary commanded.
"ah!"
Lugia appeared behind Shigeru and unleashed a Cyclone Attack, a cyclone formed entirely of air that shot outwards.
"Electabuzz, use Light Screen!" Dr. Nanbo reacted and immediately issued the command.
Electabuzz immediately created a light screen to defend itself, but the light screen was as fragile as glass in the face of the cyclone attack, shattering at the slightest touch. Electabuzz was blasted away along with the light screen, and even the wall itself was broken.
Boom! !
As a result of Lugia's attack, explosions were heard from the underground base, and sirens blared throughout the entire base.
"The base has been severely attacked and emergency rescue is being initiated. Automatic submersible scramble."
"The base has been severely attacked and emergency rescue is being initiated. Automatic ascent."
"The base has been severely attacked and emergency rescue is being initiated. Automatic ascent."
...!
The alarm sounded continuously.
This base has a self-rescue system. After all, it is an underwater base, and to save itself, it must first float to the surface.
254: Time Explanation, Farewell
"Xiao Mao!"
"Lugia!"
Ash, Hiro, and the others turned around and were stunned to see Gary and Lugia. Hiro could understand somewhat, since he had met Gary on the ship, but Ash, Hiro, and the others were all surprised and shocked.
"Who are you?" Dr. Nanbo asked in surprise. He had no idea how Gary had ended up here, or how Lugia had been released.
"You bad guy, surrender now and hand over Little Silver!" Xiu Yi shouted angrily.
"What did you say? Little Lugia has already been taken away by you!" Dr. Nanbo said angrily.
Dr. Nanbo originally intended to experiment on the adult Lugia, but the adult Lugia was too powerful, so he could only temporarily restrain it. Therefore, Dr. Nanbo took a different approach and decided to target the baby Lugia, first controlling the baby Lugia and then forcing the adult Lugia to submit.
However, when Professor Nanbo arrived, he found that Lugia was missing. Ash and his friends then arrived, and Professor Nanbo naturally assumed that Ash and his friends had stolen Lugia.
"Alakazam, hypnotize him," said Xiao Mao.
Alakazam teleported in front of Professor Nanbo and used hypnosis to put him to sleep.
"Xiao Mao, we still need to find out where Xiao Yin is. We can't let him fall asleep," Xiao 973 said.
"Don't worry, I've already rescued Silver." Gary smiled and said, "Gengar, show yourself."
"Geng Ga!"
A dark shadow emerged from Shuichi's shadow.
"Gengar!"
"When?"
Ash and the others exclaimed in surprise.
Gengar ignored Ash and the others, immediately flew to Gary's side, opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue, on which was placed a Great Ball.
Shigeru didn't mind getting dirty, took the high-level ball, and took a look at Lugia's stats.
[Elf: Lugia]
[Attributes: Flight, Superpowers]
【Level: 26】
[Potential: Legendary]
【Trait: Multiple Scales (When at full health, damage taken is halved.)】
[Skills: Wind, Blow Away, Primal Power, White Mist, Mystic Protection.]
【Intimacy Level: 101 (Maximum 255)】
Lugia's level is very low; with this level of strength, it would be difficult to even fight a gym battle.
"Come out." Gary quickly glanced at Lugia's stats and opened the Poké Ball.
Baton!
A ball of white light fell to the ground, the light dissipated, and little Lugia appeared.
"Xiaoyin!"
Upon seeing Lugia, Shuichi immediately rushed over and hugged it. Lugia also liked Shuichi and hugged him with its wings.
"Shigeru, what's going on?" Ash asked, puzzled.
"Yes, why was Silver caught by the Poké Ball?" Ahong asked, equally puzzled.
"We'll talk about that later. Let's deal with the immediate problem first," Xiao Mao said.
This is no small matter. The construction cost of this underwater base alone must be enormous. The key issue is that Dr. Nanbo has been captured.
It's important to know that Dr. Nanpo is a very capable doctor, and his capture is a huge loss for the Rockets.
"Okay, let's take care of things here first."
Together, Gary and his friends used the base's surveillance system to tie up all the Team Rocket members.
"Amadou and Kojiro aren't here; they must have run away." While tying people up, Ash discovered that two of them had escaped.
"Let them run away. They're just tools. The real power lies with Dr. Nanbo. If we catch him, the others won't be able to cause any trouble," Xiao Mao said nonchalantly.
Although Yamato and Kosaburo are elite members of Team Rocket, they can only be described as very useful tools, and they do not possess any important talents of their own.
Despite always being one step ahead of Musashi and the others, these two are actually quite disorganized when carrying out missions, and later even left Team Rocket to open a shop and make a living.
"Miss Lucia, when will Officer Jenny and the others arrive here?" Xiao Mao asked.
While they were dealing with Team Rocket, Luca arrived by boat. She had already contacted the police and sent them her coordinates.
“They should be here soon,” Lu Jia said.
"Everyone, I hope you won't talk about Lugia anymore. Otherwise, it will only attract more people to come here looking for Lugia and her cub, which will disturb their lives here," said Shigeru.
"Don't worry, we won't tell."
"Me too."
Ash and the others all promised not to tell anyone, and Gary believed they would keep their mouths shut.
Xiao Mao then said to Lugia, "Luggia, take your child and leave here. Although the police won't do anything to you, if they see you and tell others, it will definitely affect your life and your child's life."
"Ah." Lugia nodded. It knew that there were all kinds of people among humans, and not everyone was like Gary and Ash, calling out to their children in preparation for leaving.
However, little Lugia looked at Shuichi with great reluctance. They had played together for a while, and little Lugia was still a child at heart, so the sudden separation made her feel very reluctant.
"Little Silver, go with your mother." Xiu Yi said with a heavy heart. He hadn't thought much of it before, but after this incident, he knew that Little Silver would be in danger in areas inhabited by humans, and he didn't want Little Silver to get hurt.
Although it was hard to part, it was all for the safety of Lugia and her cub. Under the setting sun, the two Lugia, one big and one small, gradually drifted away and finally dived into the sea, disappearing completely from sight.
The police arrived at the scene about half an hour later.
Because the number of Team Rocket members was unknown, the police only dispatched two ships. When Officer Jenny arrived and saw such a large base and numerous Team Rocket members, she knew that she had caught a big fish.
Officer Jenny arranged for someone to guard the underwater base, then transferred all Team Rocket members to the ship and sent them back to the island's detention center to await dispatch from the Johto League headquarters.
Shigeru, Satoshi, and the others also went back to conduct the investigation. According to the normal procedure, they would definitely have to cooperate for a few days.
