"Damn it, what is this woman doing?" Misty looked at the scene, a little annoyed, wishing she could rush up and push the woman away, but also had to admit the woman was very charming.
"I'm so envious!" Brock was filled with envy at this scene, loudly groaning with jealousy on the side.
"The strategy failed, so you're resorting to a honey trap? Don't actually treat me like a child. Trainers traveling abroad aren't as bad as you imagine."
Ash chuckled softly, then his shoulder subtly sank, dodging the gentleman's female companion's hand.
"Ah!!" The gentlewoman was startled. She had been leaning her hand on Ash's shoulder, and when he dodged, she almost lost her balance.
Seeing this, the gentleman quickly supported his companion, then looked at Ash with a displeased expression. "Young man, how can you be so rude to a beautiful lady? Not a gentleman at all! 04"
"I'm a trainer, not a gentleman. I'm sorry, I don't plan to trade with you! Have you two eaten enough?"
Ash didn't continue to pay attention. He didn't care what the other party thought, but he didn't want to deal with these two any longer.
"We've eaten our fill!" Misty breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ash unmoved, and quickly stood up and said.
"Then let's go!" Hearing this, Ash called out to the two. Misty nodded in response and followed. Seeing Brock still standing there mesmerized, she immediately went forward, grabbed his ear, and dragged him away.
The gentleman looked annoyed as Ash left, but there was nothing he could do. Although it was for face, he really couldn't beat Ash.
As for the female companion, she had a frustrated look, not expecting her honey trap to be useless.
"Those two are really something. They seem to have no feelings for Pokémon at all, acting as if they can trade them away at will," Misty said, walking beside Ash, a little annoyed.
"Why are you angry at people like that? Judging by his appearance, he obviously frequently trades Pokémon with others. It's quite normal for him."
Ash didn't mind. Everyone was different. He didn't reject trading Pokémon; it was also a trainer's style.
He advocated for respecting a Pokémon's own wishes. Some Pokémon didn't like to battle, but trainers had to battle. Forcing a Pokémon to battle wouldn't raise its fighting spirit.
Rather than that, it would be better to trade, of course, under the condition of finding a suitable owner, not just random trading. The reason he disliked that gentleman was because of his attitude towards battle.
"You're right..."
Bang!!!
No sooner had the words fallen than, at that moment, a commotion was transmitted, and then the entire party venue, all the surrounding doors, were directly closed.
Then, the people who were originally wearing waiter uniforms all tore off their clothes. Everyone was wearing outfits with a red 'R' logo. At the same time, they all had something resembling a jetpack on their backs.
Connecting tubes on the left and right sides extended forward like vacuum cleaners. Seeing this scene, all the trainers present showed puzzled expressions.
"What's going on??"
"Since you have asked so sincerely!"
"I... will graciously tell you."
Then, two figures jumped onto the table. Ash and the other two looked over. It was none other than Jessie and James, though James looked a bit dejected.
"It's these guys again!" Misty's face instantly changed when she saw the two. These guys were always haunting them.
"Who are these guys?" Some trainers started to panic when they saw them. At this moment, Jessie, who had finally finished her lines, looked around triumphantly and spoke.
"We are Team Rocket, who are going to conquer the world! Hand over your Pokémon Balls!"
"Hand them over! Hand over your Pokémon Balls!"
Other Team Rocket members also stepped forward, forcing the surrounding trainers to hand over their Pokémon. Hearing "Team Rocket," most trainers were afraid, but still unwilling to hand over their Pokémon.
"Since you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame us!"
Hearing this, Jessie also spoke at the same time, then pressed a button on the backpack behind her. The two pipes in front immediately generated a suction force.
Some trainers' Pokémon Balls were forcefully sucked away. Other Team Rocket members also started taking action.
"And you, hand over your Pokémon Balls!" Soon, Ash and the other two were also targeted.
"Are you kidding? I won't give them to you!" Misty hugged her backpack tightly. Her Pokémon Balls were inside the bag and wouldn't be sucked away.
"Then don't blame me!" A Team Rocket member charged forward fiercely.
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!!" Ash, seeing this, slightly raised his shoulder, and Pikachu leaped forward along Ash's arm.
Pika~~~~chu!!!
Electricity released, sweeping in all directions, instantly striking several Team Rocket members who were trying to snatch Pokémon.
"Ah!!!" Struck by Pikachu's Thunderbolt, 147 people screamed in pain.
"Let's fight too!!"
"Starmie, Rapid Spin!"
"Geodude, use Mega Punch!"
Seeing Ash make his move, Brock and Misty didn't want to sit idly by. They simultaneously released their Pokémon. Starmie and Geodude also launched their attacks at the same time.
Working together, the three knocked down several Team Rocket members. Their backpacks were destroyed, and Pokémon Balls fell out. The trainers quickly began to search for their Pokémon Balls.
Trainers whose Pokémon Balls hadn't been stolen also reacted, realizing they couldn't sit idly by.
"Everyone, rather than sitting by and waiting, let's fight back like them! Let's go!"
"That's right! Defeat them!"
The number of trainers here was greater than the number of Team Rocket members, so there was no need to be afraid. Overcoming their fear, everyone released their Pokémon, ready for battle.
Team Rocket also released their Pokémon to fight, but two fists couldn't contend with four hands. There were simply too many trainers here. It could only be said that Team Rocket had miscalculated.
The entire ship was filled with the sounds of battle and explosions. No one noticed that outside, lightning flashed and thunder rolled. Suddenly, a huge wave crashed over, and the entire ship began to shake.
