"Team Rocket?!" Upon hearing that voice, Misty and the others recognized it immediately.
"It's those guys again!" Gary and the others in the middle of the arena also recognized Jessie's voice.
Even Misty and the others, who had encountered them the most, never expected that Jessie and her team would dare to pull off something like this—live in front of the entire world at the Pokemon League.
Viridian City
"Ha! Those guys!" At that moment, in the Viridian Gym in Viridian City, Giovanni couldn't help but laugh when he saw the scene.
Although these two failed more often than they succeeded, they truly had courage that other Team Rocket members lacked. If it were anyone else, nobody would dare to do such a thing.
Jessie and James didn't know that Giovanni had kept the torch they'd snatched before, thinking the League simply had a spare.
At the same time, remembering that Giovanni had accepted the Sacred Fire last time, they thought this item could please the boss. So when they saw such a large flame this time, they decided to snatch it again.
"Alright, we got the Sacred Fire! And since so many Trainers are gathered here, we'll catch their Pokemon as well, nya!"
But this time, after obtaining the flame, they didn't retreat. Instead, they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to steal Pokemon from these outstanding Trainers who had come to compete.
"I know what to do without you telling me! I'm on it!"
James responded, then controlled the robot. It jumped up directly and leaped over the audience.
BOOM!!!
Jumping directly into the field from several stories high, there was a loud crash. The Trainers on the field were immediately thrown into chaos.
Although there were many elite Trainers present, they rarely encountered such situations. For a moment, they were overwhelmed and ran around in panic.
Ash was in the crowd, pushing through and running toward the front. At that moment, he noticed another figure in the same line as him also running in the same direction.
"Ash!" Green came to Ash's side and nodded to him. It was clear they both had the same idea—they couldn't let this situation continue.
"Hand over all your Pokemon!" Jessie shouted from inside the robot, then pressed a button.
The robot's mouth opened, releasing numerous mechanical arms that grabbed at the Trainers around them.
"Pikachu, use Iron Tail!"
Ash and Green moved to the side of the robot. Seeing the scene, Ash gave his command. Pikachu rushed forward upon hearing the order.
Bang! Bang!
Iron Tail swung as Pikachu charged forward to attack, continuously waving its metallic tail and cutting off the mechanical arms the robot released.
"Damn it! It's you again, you little brat! Let me show you how powerful we are!" Seeing the robotic arms severed, Jessie and James grew furious.
"Check out our Mega Jump!" James shouted and pressed a button. The Locust Robot suddenly turned around and jumped, directly clearing Pikachu's position.
The massive robot fell from the air toward Green and Ash's direction. Seeing this, Gary, who was approaching, along with Misty and the others in the audience, and people familiar with Ash watching on television all showed panicked expressions.
"Get out of the way!" Seeing this, Ash pushed Green away and jumped toward the other side.
BOOM!!!
The robot crashed down and hit the ground with a powerful impact. Ash and Green separated to the left and right, ending up on opposite sides of the robot.
"Umbreon, use Swift!" Gary, who had witnessed the scene, rushed forward and threw his Poke Ball. A black shadow appeared before him.
Umbreon was one of Eevee's evolved forms, resembling a black cat with yellow ring patterns on all four legs.
There were also circular yellow patterns on its tail, ears, and forehead, along with a pair of crimson eyes.
Under Gary's command, countless golden stars flew from Umbreon's mouth toward the robot, hitting it like a shower of raindrops.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Ash saw this and stood up at the same time, immediately giving Pikachu an order.
Upon hearing the command, Pikachu also launched its attack. Thunderbolt and Swift were released toward the robot simultaneously, and both special moves struck their target.
Thunder and lightning enveloped the robot. Swift's constant impacts produced an amazing explosion, and smoke instantly engulfed the machine.
The audience in the stands looked worriedly at the field. They watched as the smoke gradually dispersed and saw the robot slowly supporting itself back up.
"Hahaha! It's useless! We specially increased our budget and reinforced the shell. Your attacks won't work!" Jessie and the others laughed wildly as they watched the scene.
"Ivysaur, use Razor Leaf!"
At that moment, Green also threw her Poke Ball. Ivysaur appeared, and Razor Leaf activated. Countless sharp leaves were released toward the robot.
"Try this move, meow!" Seeing Green's Ivysaur attack, Meowth pressed the button beside him.
Soon, what seemed like a stream of air blew out from the torch tower on top of the robot, instantly igniting Moltres's flame and forming a pillar of fire.
This flame swept across, and Ivysaur's Razor Leaf was directly engulfed by the flames, reduced to ashes in an instant.
"What?!" Green hadn't expected these guys could actually use the Sacred Fire.
"Hahaha! Now do you see how powerful we are? Let's catch Pikachu first!"
Seeing this, Team Rocket became even more proud, then set their sights on Ash's Pikachu.
They turned around and rushed toward Pikachu. Ash saw this and immediately ran in Pikachu's direction. He watched as Team Rocket once again invoked the Sacred Fire to release flames toward Pikachu.
"Pikachu, dodge!" Ash shouted as he approached Pikachu, but Team Rocket moved faster and Pikachu had no time to avoid it.
"Look out!" At the critical moment, a figure rushed over and threw Pikachu to the other side, avoiding the attack of the flames.
Pikachu narrowly escaped, and the flames swept past, leaving scorched marks on the ground.
Team Rocket quickly changed direction and once again released flames toward Pikachu and the person who had saved it. This time, neither had any time to dodge.
