Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

"Ow!"

Mega Steelix roared, shattering the surrounding trees. This was a giant beast with a body length of nearly 20 meters, like a silver dragon in the night. Some weak Pokémon trembled at the sight of it, and even their trainers were frightened to the point of their legs going weak.

"Kill kill kill kill kill! Steelix, kill these trash for me!" Bashu looked crazy. The death of his partner had made him mentally unstable.

Mega Steelix ignored its owner and opened its bloodshot eyes wide, staring at Yang Ming as if examining its prey.

"Unable to completely control mega evolution and went berserk?" Yang Ming thought to himself.

Mega evolution is very powerful and can greatly stimulate the fighting instincts of Pokémon, making them ruthless, aggressive, full of destructive instincts, and even likely to attack their trainers. Korne in the anime version went berserk because she did not fully master Lucario's mega evolution.

Apparently, the same is true for Basho.

"Great power always brings risks, whether it's mega evolution or Z-moves, it's all the same."

"Slowpoke, use boiling water!"

Without waiting for Mega Steelix to react, Yang Ming took the lead in attacking. Slowpoke opened its mouth and a stream of hot water sprayed towards Mega Steelix.

However, when Slowpoke's boiling water was poured onto Mega Steelix's metal body, it did not cause the heavy damage expected. Mega Steelix only felt the part that was poured hot, and then continued to attack.

Mega Steelix opened its huge teeth covered with heavy metal and bit hard, and it bit down on one of Slowpoke's claws. With a "click", Slowpoke's entire arm was torn off, and blood spilled all over the ground.

"Everyone, quickly cover Slowpoke's retreat!"

Under Yang Ming's instructions, Venusaur, Pixie, and Swampert attacked together and bombarded Mega Steelix, only then did they rescue the severely injured Slowshell.

"What a powerful attack. It actually severely damaged Slowpoke, which is known for its durability, with one bite. Not only that, its special durability has also been greatly enhanced. It can even withstand a restraining attack like boiling water. It is really a tough opponent."

Looking at Slowpoke's injuries, Yang Ming had a solemn expression. Although he could restore Slowpoke's arm by relying on its regenerative properties, the combat power displayed by Mega Steelix just now still frightened him.

Looking at Mega Steelix, it was not injured in the siege just now, and it was obviously using defense to block the attack.

"How about it, Yang Ming, how do you feel now?" Baxiu sneered unscrupulously, "But even if you beg for mercy, it's useless. I must kill you today."

"Little guys, come on!"

With an order, Ninetales, Raidenmon and Xbat rushed forward and cooperated with Mega Steelix to attack Yang Ming.

"Tsk, it seems like you're determined to fight me to the death today." Yang Ming showed no sign of weakness, commanding four Pokémon to fight fiercely with the opponent, while buying time for Slowpoke to recover.

Swamp King opened his mouth and spurted out boiling water. Although the power was far less than that of Slowpoke's boiling water, it also had a burning effect. Yang Ming wanted to bet on the burn to turn the situation around.

However, the Nine-Tailed Fox blocked the attack. Although boiling water could restrain the fire-attributed Nine-Tailed Fox, the Swamp King's weak special attack was unable to seriously injure the opponent.

"What a weak attack," Bashiu sneered, "Nine-Tails, show it some color, energy ball!"

The Nine-Tailed Fox sprayed a green energy ball at the Swamp King, but was blocked by Venusaur. However, the Nine-Tailed Fox changed its tactics and used a flame jet attack.

The blazing flames immediately severely damaged Bulbasaur, scorching a patch of the flower on its head. Yang Ming's heart tightened, but he did not mean to ask Bulbasaur to retreat.

"Vulpecula, the power of the earth!"

While enduring the blazing flames, Venusaur exerted all its strength. Finally, terrifying underground energy erupted from under the Nine-Tails' feet, sending it flying into the air.

Nine-Tailed Fox screamed and fell heavily to the ground, losing its ability to fight. But Venusaur was also seriously injured, and the battle ended with its tragic victory.

"Vulpecula, retreat quickly and use photosynthesis to restore your strength!" Yang Ming said hurriedly.

"Don't even think about it, Xbat, use provoke!"

Bulbasaur was affected by the provocation skill and could not use photosynthesis to recover its strength. Its eyes were full of anger. And Xbat also swooped over, trying to kill the already severely injured Bulbasaur with Swallow Return!

At the critical moment! It was still the Swamp King that withstood the attack. Its arms emitted an astonishing chill, and it threw a freezing punch at the Crossbat.

The Crossbat was hit hard and quickly flew back, using Feather Roost to restore its strength.

"Tsk, as long as X-bat is here, not only photosynthesis, but even hypnotic powder and parasitic seeds cannot be used." Yang Ming's face looked ugly. X-bat was like the nemesis of Venusaur, blocking all of Venusaur's tactics from all directions.

"If you want to defeat Mega Steelix, you have to get rid of Xbat first." Yang Ming gritted his teeth and decided to take the next risky move.

"Pixie, use gravity!"

As Picosi waved its short arms, the gravity around it suddenly increased several times. Even some flying Pokémon that were fighting fiercely in the distance were affected and fell heavily to the ground.

Bashu had no intention of stopping Picosi. He looked at Yang Ming with sarcasm in his eyes.

"You are courting death... Raidenmon, use Thunder!"

Under the gravity, Thundermon's movements were slow, but he still tried to gather electricity. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and a huge lightning column struck Picosi. Although Picosi wanted to dodge, his movements were restricted under the gravity field.

The blessing of gravity actually greatly increases the hit rate of Thundermon's thunder!

At the critical moment, the Swamp King blocked the thunder for Picosi. However, at this time, Bashu was not angry at all. Instead, he showed an expression of success.

"You've fallen into the trap! Thundermon, use your awakening power!"

Countless emerald green energy waves emanated from Thundermon, which was the awakening power of the grass attribute!

Under the influence of gravity, the Swamp King's ability to move was already extremely slow, not to mention that the two sides were so close. The four times restrained awakening power all hit the Swamp King, causing it to lose its combat ability on the spot.

"Without your immunity to electric-attribute Pokémon, you are no longer my opponent. Yang Ming, I will rip your head off with my next strike!"

At this moment, an ominous premonition came to Bashu's mind. He realized that the injured Bulbasaur did not retreat, but secretly used the power of the earth to prepare to attack his Pokémon.

And its target of attack was the trainer Bashu himself!
