Chapter 19: Forest of Thorns

"Jie Jie Jie!!"

The three members of Team Rocket reached a consensus and drove their robots, waving several mechanical arms and rushing towards the Lizard King.

"Um...why do their voices suddenly seem so confident?"

"Forget it, Lizard King, use the Crazy Plant to grab the robot's arm tightly."

Looking at the robots rushing towards them, Xiaoyun calmly gave orders to the Lizard King without thinking too much.

"just!"

The Lizard King's eyes flashed, and he let out an angry roar with his mouth biting the branch. He thrust his hands into the ground, and then the ground began to crack.

Countless thick thorns emitting green light emerged from the ground, surrounding the robot on the opposite side and strangling its arms and body, making it unable to move at all.

Xiaoyun can see from the battle between Xiaozhi and Team Rocket just now that this robot's defense is indeed good. If it attacks by force, it will inevitably consume a lot of energy.

So Xiaoyun first ordered the Lizard King to use the Hardened Plant to entangle him before proceeding with the next attack. He made a slight change to the Hardened Plant skill.

Because the Lizard King cannot learn vines and lacks some control skills, when training the Lizard King, these skills are divided into two parts: attack and control.

One is to summon a large number of thorns to attack individually in the original work, and the other is to scatter the thorns and combine them with super absorption to transform into a new move: Forest of Thorns.

Not only does it have more powerful attacks than vines, it can also absorb the opponent's physical strength by wrapping around it and use it for its own benefit. It can be said to be a panacea.

"Damn it, I can't move, meow!"

Meow Meow frantically manipulated the mechanical lever and tried to free the robot from the thorns by shaking it continuously.

"Give up. Your robots cannot break free from the Lizard King's abilities."

It's a pity that the machine that was entangled this time couldn't absorb physical energy, otherwise it would have been exhausted to death.

"Lizard King, use the blades to attack the connection between these arms and the body, and cut off all these arms!"

After seeing that the robot had been firmly locked by thorns, Xiaoyun continued to command the Lizard King.

Following the flashes of several sharp knives.

The robot, which was firmly fixed by the thorn forest, had all its arms easily cut off by the sharp blades of the Lizard King.

"So... so strong!" Xiaozhi took back the two Pokémon and sighed as he looked at the domineering Lizard King in front of him. Then he wondered if his Lizard King could do this.

"Pickup!"

The moment the arm was cut off, the arm that was holding Pikachu began to lose control and jumped onto the grass.

"Pikachu!" Xiaozhi looked at the rescued Pikachu and quickly ran over to hold Pikachu in his arms. After several days, the man and the pet were reunited again.

"What!!"

Team Rocket, who were pinned down by the Forest of Thorns, screamed like groundhogs as they watched the Pikachus being freed.

There seemed to be an ominous yet familiar atmosphere surrounding them.

"It's time to end this battle, Lizard King. Use the Sun Flame to give them a final farewell!"

Xiaoyun ignored the trio who made the groundhog sounds and asked the Lizard King to give them a big firework as a farewell ceremony.

"Cha!" The Lizard King's fireworks rewards were very quick. After a quick charge, the small yellow ball on its back emitted a beam of white light and was fired at Team Rocket, whose arm was broken but whose body was still firmly fixed.

"Ding, your fireworks reward has arrived!"

Boom boom boom! ! !

"Damn it! I finally caught Pikachu this time, but I failed again!" (Musashi)

"Wow, I lost all my part-time job money, and some of my rare bottle caps..." (Kojiro)

"It's all that brat's fault, meow~"

"What a disgusting feeling!!!" x3

"Sonas!!" Guoshen said that he must follow up with a wave of explosions.

Looking at the trio that had turned into stars, Xiaoyun believed that the trio's robot was so excited because it was the first time it received such a big firework that its body became hot due to excitement and finally exploded.

Tsk tsk tsk, you really have no self-control at all. You are still too young ( ̄▽ ̄~).

"He is truly an amazing young man. Not only is his command just right, but his Pokémon's abilities are also impeccable."

Xiaogang watched Xiaoyun's entire fight from the sidelines, and he couldn't help but marvel at her strength in combat.

"Xiao Yun, you are so awesome, and the Lizard King is so cool!" Xiao Guang also ran to Xiao Yun at this time, looked at the boy in front of him with some admiration and praised him.

"Calm down, Xiaoguang, this is nothing. By the way, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Xiaoyun accepted Xiaoguang's compliments. After all, who would refuse a cute girl's compliments? Then she asked Xiaoguang with concern.

"I'm fine, thanks to you, Xiaoyun. You chased away those bad guys before they even touched me." Xiaoguang said that he was fine and was not hurt at all.

"That's good." Xiaoyun asked about Xiaoguang's situation with concern, and then looked in the direction of Xiaozhi.

After seeing that the matter was over, Xiaozhi came towards him holding Pikachu and Xiaogang, and bowed to him with a smile and a thankful tone:

"Thank you very much for saving my Pikachu. I'm Ash from Pallet Town, and this is my friend Brock!"

Xiaoyun looked at Xiaozhi who bowed to express his gratitude and smiled, "You're welcome. Pikachu is very cute. Xiaoguang and I both like it very much. I think if it were someone else, they would help too."

Xiaozhi also raised his head and looked at Xiaoyun: "No matter what, I still have to thank you. If it weren't for your help this time, Pikachu would really have been captured by them!"

Xiaoyun stared at Xiaozhi for a while and then said, "Sashimi li danai (Long time no see) Xiaozhi, do you really not remember me?"

"Um... who are you?"

Xiaozhi saw Xiaoyun start to greet it, but after thinking carefully, he still couldn't remember and said a little embarrassedly.

. . . . . . .

After a long silence, Xiaoyun finally spoke.

"Yeah, that's very much your style."

"My name is Xiaoyun, Hanyu Yun. When I was a child, I went to the Kanto region to participate in the summer camp organized by Professor Oak. Do you remember it?" Xiaoyun reminded Xiaozhi slightly.

Originally he saw that Xiaozhi had no impression of him, but then he thought about it and let it go. After all, this guy even forgot Serena, so it was normal for him not to remember him.

"Eh? Xiaoyun, are you Xiaoyun? The boy who won the argument with Xiaomao before!"

Xiaozhi finally remembered it now, and time went back to the past. It was during the summer camp. He and Xiaomao always lost the argument.

At that time, Xiaoyun really couldn't stand Xiaomao, the second-generation rich boy, showing off, so he used all his theoretical knowledge from the 21st century to make the little brat cry.

If Xiao Mao was here, he would probably recognize him at a glance!

"Well...just remember it, you don't have to say it later." Xiaoyun was very happy to hear Xiaozhi finally said his name.

The latter sentence made him unhappy. Xiaoguang is still here, what are they arguing about?

Is he the rude type?

"Sorry, sorry, by the way, Xiaoyun, why are you here?" Xiaozhi saw that Xiaoyun's face was a little dark and suddenly changed the subject.

"Let's talk about these things later. Let's go to Dr. Yamanashi's research institute first."

Not long after, a purple-haired boy saw the wreckage of the robot that had just been fought and remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.
