The explosive airflow blew everyone away. The bag that had fallen to the ground was also blown up, then landed back down with a thud. The bag opened as it fell.
The contents spilled out, attracting everyone's attention. Ash also looked over.
It was clearly a Pokémon.
It had sharp horns on its head. The horns and forehead were withered yellow. Its eyes were surrounded by the same color, looking like dark circles. The rest of its body was pale yellow. Its neck fur was darker, looking like a scarf. Its limbs and tail were relatively short.
The most peculiar thing was its teeth, which extended straight out from both sides of its mouth, forming an unnatural growth.
"Hmm? What kind of Pokémon is that?"
The two Team Rocket members glanced at it, both a little curious. They had never seen this Pokémon before. Even within Team Rocket, which possessed many Pokémon, they didn't have one like this.
"That Pokémon is...?" Brock had also never seen this Pokémon before.
"Axew (Kibago)??"
Ash, however, had seen this Pokémon before, but he wasn't entirely sure, because its color was different from the Axew he remembered.
Axew first appeared in the fourth generation, Best Wishes, primarily originating in the Unova region. It was rare in other regions, and even rare among Dragon-type Pokémon in Unova.
The real world was, of course, different from the anime. Every region was slowly conceived by screenwriters.
In other words, various things were also happening in other regions at the same time. Pokémon didn't appear slowly like in games and anime, but existed simultaneously at every single second.
It wasn't strange for these poachers to capture rare Pokémon all over the world, but Axew itself was rare, and this Axew was a shiny Axew.
In simple terms, in gamer's terms, it was a shiny Axew. Pokémon with different forms and colors from their usual counterparts were called shiny Pokémon.
Because they lose their original color, they also lose their natural camouflage. Coupled with their inherent differences, some shiny Pokémon may face ostracism from their own kind.
Therefore, this type of Pokémon is usually stronger than its ordinary counterparts. This is the view of most people, and it is also the case in the game.
Because shiny Pokémon must be caught by continuous shiny chaining, and the game's setting is that the more times you encounter a Pokémon, the stronger the Pokémon's base stats will be.
Generally, after a shiny Pokémon is encountered, its base stats are basically maxed out. This is what's called 6IV.
So, saying that shiny Pokémon are stronger than ordinary Pokémon is actually not wrong.
"Is that Pokémon called Axew?" Brock, standing beside Ash, also heard Ash's words and asked in confusion.
"Hmm! But the color is a bit different. It should be a shiny Pokémon," Ash also nodded slightly.
"Did you hear that? It's a very rare Pokémon." Jessie and James, who were hiding behind, whispered cautiously.
"Take it back. The boss will be very happy, Meow!" The two and Meowth started to have bad ideas again.
At this moment, this Axew's body was bound by rings resembling ropes. Its two claws and body were tightly wrapped together, and its mouth also had a strange device, clearly used to seal its mouth.
"You damned brats, we won't let you off." The two poachers were completely enraged at this moment and clearly wouldn't give up so easily.
Just as they were about to attack, the Axew lying on the ground's eyelids twitched slightly, then slowly opened its eyes. Axew's eyes were red.
But perhaps due to its shiny nature, its eyes appeared purple. The moment it opened its eyes, a fierce light flashed in its gaze. Its pupils seemed to lose their luster, and its purple eyes emitted a red light.
Axew!!!
This Axew began to struggle under everyone's surprised gaze. The rings on its body emitted bursts of electricity. It was clearly not ordinary rope, and it made Axew let out a painful roar.
But in this roar, there was not only pain but also, Ash could clearly hear, anger and madness. It forcibly resisted the current from the rings. At the same time, its abdomen suddenly emitted a blue energy.
Subsequently, a pale blue energy also overflowed from the gaps in the mouth device. The mouth device gradually couldn't withstand it and instantly cracked.
Bang!!!!
Roar!!!
The moment the device burst open, a dragon roar sounded. A pale blue beam of light was released. Not only was the mouth device shattered, but the light also swept in all directions.
"It's Dragon Rage! Quick, dodge!!" Ash saw this and immediately shouted to Pikachu and the others. The two quickly took Pikachu and Zubat and dodged.
The energy from Dragon Rage hit the ground and then swept into the air. The flat-haired man's Venomoth was not so lucky; it was directly hit by Dragon Rage, instantly producing a shocking explosion in the air.
"How could this be!!" The two poachers were clearly also surprised that such a thing would happen.
Before they could recover from their surprise, the light continued to sweep around. The next target was Team Rocket.
Bang!! Boom boom!!
Undoubtedly, the Team Rocket members had no time to dodge and suffered the same tragic fate.
"Ah!! Why?! We didn't do anything, what an awful feeling!!" The two and their three Pokémon were directly blasted towards the outside of the cave by this force, leaving only their final classic lines.
"Damn it! What do we do now?" The bald man said angrily.
"Let's retreat for now!"
And the flat-haired man was also a little unwilling, but the situation was now out of control. His Venomoth could no longer battle, and Rhyhorn, which had just been affected by Supersonic, still hadn't recovered.
Moreover, this Axew was still going berserk, plus Ash and the others were here, so attempting to capture it again would probably be impossible.
"Kid, next time we meet, I definitely won't let you off." The two recalled their Pokémon and prepared to leave.
"Then you'll have to be able to leave!" Ash frowned slightly upon hearing this. Just as he was about to stop them, a beam of light attacked again. It swept through the center of both sides, hitting the surrounding walls.
