Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Octopus Barrel felt dizzy and unconsciously used Ink Cannon amid the applause of the pink Pokémon opposite him. He couldn't even use the Jet Fire that he was about to use.

"Good opportunity, Laplace, let's go!" With Yin Yue's order, Laplace bravely moved forward and absorbed all the ink cannons.

On the other side, Yang Ming did not rest either, constantly letting Bulbasaur use Leaf Blade.

Due to the influence of the previous ink cannon, Bulbasaur's Leaf Blade was a little inaccurate, but half of the Leaf Blade still successfully hit the giant octopus barrel.

The octopus bucket looked at Yang Ming and his two Pokémon with fire in his eyes. The humans and Pokémon in front of him were as weak as ants, and it could easily kill them, but it was not only unable to kill them, but was played around by these ants.

However, it seems that the opponent's attack power is very low and cannot cause effective damage to it. Thinking of this, the anger in Octopus Bucket's eyes turned into contempt.

Oh, so what if I know some tricks? In front of absolute power, ants are still ants after all!

However, it soon felt something was wrong. Although the opponent's attack could not cause it serious damage, it still felt that its physical strength was constantly draining away.

Octopus barrel quickly turned around and found that there were several small vines hanging behind him, which were constantly sucking his energy. And the other end of the vines was the grass-type Pokémon.

The octopus was so angry that he wanted to tear the opponent into pieces immediately. Unfortunately, under the influence of the applause, it couldn't even attack on its own, and could only keep spraying ink cannons to restore the blue Pokémon on the opposite side.

All of this was naturally Yang Ming's plan.

Through previous battles and his own observations, Yang Ming determined that the octopus barrel in front of him not only learned many skills, but was also very smart, otherwise Haichao would not allow it to fight according to its own will.

However, no matter how smart this octopus barrel is, it can never adapt to changes like a human trainer. Soon Yang Ming discovered the attack mode of this giant octopus barrel - when attacking an opponent, it will automatically calculate the skill with the highest damage in its brain to attack.

When the opponent is Gardevoir, it will use the poison-attribute skill Poison Blast, which restrains Fairy attributes, to attack; but when facing Donjia, it will give up using Poison Blast and instead use the water-attribute Ink Cannon - because the ground-attribute Donjia is resistant to Poison Blast, and the water-attribute Ink Cannon can restrain the ground-attribute.

As for why we don't use the Seed Machine Gun, which also restrains the ground attribute, it is because the Seed Machine Gun is a physical attack and is not very effective against the Donja, which is good at physical defense.

So Yang Ming used this to formulate a countermeasure. He first used the Donjia to "cheat" and induce the Octopus Bucket to use the Ink Cannon to attack. Then he used Pipi's applause to block the opponent's actions, forcing it to keep using the Ink Cannon. Finally, he used the water storage properties of Laplace to absorb the energy of the Ink Cannon, making the Octopus Bucket completely lose its attack ability!

In addition, considering that this octopus barrel has a relatively high intelligence, it may have some adaptability in the previous battle. To be safe, Yang Ming deliberately used Bulbasaur, which has resistance to both water and grass attributes, to block the attack for the armor to avoid the opponent's sudden use of the seed machine gun, which would cause Laplace, who was used to absorb the ink cannon, to be accidentally injured.

In order to ensure victory in the battle, Yang Ming also secretly scattered parasitic seeds on the octopus barrel, which could not only further weaken the opponent, but also restore Bulbasaur's physical strength.

As the battle continued, Octopus Bucket found that his body and brain had gradually adapted to the opponent's applause, and he began to slowly regain control of his body.

Although its body was seriously injured, it was still able to crush the three ants to death.

Just as the giant octopus barrel was thinking about how to deal with Yang Ming and his Pokémon, it suddenly felt a tearing pain in its body.

It turned out that Bulbasaur and Dunjia were using Leaf Blade and Rock Blade respectively to continuously cut off the tentacles of Octopus Barrel that were wrapped around the stern.

Originally, with the strength of the quasi-king-level Pokémon of Octopus Barrel, this kind of injury could only cause it to break its skin at most. However, after being weakened repeatedly by Yang Ming, its body is now much more fragile than in its heyday. Although these attacks are still not fatal, it is not difficult to cut off its attack.

This is naturally part of Yang Ming's plan.

Yang Ming was very self-aware. His Pokémon had not yet reached the elite level, and was even more inferior to the quasi-king-level octopus barrel in front of him. No matter how sophisticated his tactics were, and even if he had a reliable ally, Little Rich Woman, it was still impossible to defeat this giant octopus barrel head-on, so his goal from the beginning was to get the cruise ship rid of the octopus barrel.

The reason why I checked the tentacles of the octopus barrel in advance was to make sure that the octopus barrel in front of me did not have the suction cup feature. After all, if this octopus barrel had the suction cup feature, I would not be able to drive it out of the stern even if I cut off all its tentacles.

As the last two tentacles entangled with the cruise ship were cut off, the octopus barrel finally couldn't hold on and was thrown away by the cruise ship. Without the entanglement of the giant octopus barrel, the Sant'Anno ran at full speed and left the current sea area as soon as possible.

"Tsk, they actually got away." Haichao's face was gloomy and he took back the seriously injured octopus barrel.

Ma Zhishi on the other side laughed wantonly, "Not only will you lose the biggest goal of this trip, I'm afraid you will even lose your life."

"Photoelectric Flycatcher, Raichu, come on!"

On the other side, Yang Ming and Yin Yue, who had achieved their goal, were lying on Laplace, gasping for breath. Their highly tense nerves could not relax until now.

"Little rich woman... huh... I have something I want to ask you for a favor..." Yang Ming said while lying on Laplace, panting.

"...What's the matter?" Yin Yue asked curiously.

"...I don't plan to return to the Saint Annu...Huh...Can your Laplace take me to Red Lotus Island..."

Why not take a luxury cruise ship and use Pokémon to cross the sea? This confused Yin Yue for a while. But after spending some time together, she already had a lot of trust in Yang Ming, and she even thought that Yang Ming was the greatest hero who saved the entire cruise ship. So in the end, she didn't ask anything, but just drove Laplace towards Honglian Island.

"I'd like to make it clear in advance that my Laplace can travel very fast in the ocean."

"So, you have to hold on tight~"
