Chapter 98
Saving the Zapdos

“Where are the power plant workers being held?” Xiao Mao already knew the number of Team Rocket members, and the next step was to rescue the power plant workers and then stop Team Rocket's plan.

Team Rocket Grunt: “They are all locked up in the power plant warehouse.”

“Nazuna, do you have any plans?” Xiao Mao looked at Nazuna.

“I'll do as you say.” Nazuna knew that Xiao Mao wouldn't stand idly by.

Xiao Mao looked at the image on the surveillance screen. The electric energy in Zapdos's body was being absorbed massively. If this continues, once Zapdos's internal electricity is depleted, it would be defeated.

This Giovanni really has a screw loose. A legendary Pokémon is right there, and he doesn't capture it; instead, he wants to kill it.

“Nazuna, you go to the warehouse and rescue the power plant workers. I'll go and save Zapdos.” Xiao Mao said.

“Can you handle it alone?” Nazuna worried.

“Don't you have faith in my strength? Besides, to prevent Team Rocket from using the power plant workers as hostages, you're the best choice to save them.” Xiao Mao said.

“Okay, I'll come and help you after saving people. Be careful.” Nazuna said.

“Alright, let's put these two to sleep first.” Xiao Mao said.

Nazuna nodded. Her eyes glowed blue, and the two Team Rocket grunts immediately fainted.

Then, Xiao Mao and Nazuna acted separately.

Nazuna went to rescue people, and Xiao Mao sneaked to the place where Zapdos was being captured.

This time, Team Rocket used the power plant to attract Zapdos. So the location for capturing Zapdos was a wide open area of the power plant. This was the spot where the electricity was transmitted, which attracted Zapdos.

“Lang Yan, this Zapdos has been flying for so long, and it still has so much electricity inside. It really is a legendary Pokémon.” Ma Yuan scoffed.

“This Zapdos is far from the one on the Orange Islands. This time we are just using this Zapdos for an experiment. Dr. Giovanni's ultimate goal is the Zapdos on the Orange Islands.” Ma Yuan’s teammate reminded him.

“Hopefully it will be quick. Otherwise, the police will come.” Ma Yuan said.

“There's no other way. We'll have to take it one step at a time. If they do come, we'll retreat.” Lang Yan waved his hand.

This operation was a huge risk. According to the original plan, there wouldn't be a power outage in the city.

However, Zapdos was too violent and directly triggered a thunderstorm, breaking the device that supplied power to the city. Now half of Azure Bay is without power, and the magnetic field nearby has also gone haywire, causing communication problems.

The police station knows the situation at the power plant and will definitely come to inspect it. If it weren't for the thunderstorm triggered by Zapdos, Officer Jenny would have already come with people.

【LV40 Raticate ♂ / Gym】

【LV42 Pinsir ♂ / Gym】

【LV39 Magneton / Elite Four】

...!

【LV50 Zapdos / Champion】

“Only level 50? No wonder it's so weak…!”

From a distance, Xiao Mao was observing the situation using binoculars. Especially when he saw Zapdos, he couldn't help but mock this Zapdos for being weak, only level 50, no wonder it was caught by Team Rocket.

This was the first time Xiao Mao had seen a legendary Pokémon, and he immediately downgraded the prestige of legendary Pokémon in his heart.

“Only three Pokémon, no problem.”

Xiao Mao secretly released Blastoise, Pidgeot, and Metagross and whispered the tactics to them.

......!

“Awoooo!!”

Zapdos let out a shrill cry, golden thunder continuously surged out of its body, frantically pouring into a white crystal under the iron cage. The white crystal was like a bottomless pit; no matter how much electricity was absorbed from Zapdos, it could not be filled. Even if Zapdos didn't release any electricity, the device could forcefully absorb the electricity from Zapdos's body.

“It’s screaming so loud, it seems like it's almost over.” Ma Yuan was excited to see Zapdos showing signs of pain.

After all, they were the ones who caused Zapdos to be in this situation. It wasn't something everyone could achieve.

“Raticate!” Suddenly, the ever-alert Raticate cried out, its eyes staring at the sky.

“Pidgeot?” Ma Yuan looked up in confusion, thinking that there was nothing unusual. Although Pidgeot was rare to see in the city, it was still possible to encounter them occasionally.

However, as Pidgeot got closer, Lang Yan suddenly ordered, “Magneton, use Triple Attack on that Pidgeot!”

Three light spots appeared in front of Magneton, and three beams of different colors shot towards the sky.

“Pi!”

The Pidgeot in the sky saw this and immediately flapped its wings, a scorching red storm descended from the sky, blocking the Magneton’s Triple Attack.

“We’ve been discovered!” Ma Yuan immediately realized that it was a thunderstorm now, and bird Pokémon wouldn't be flying at this time.

Pidgeot flying now, and even coming here, definitely wasn't a wild Pidgeot.

Boom!!

However, at this moment, two Hydro Pumps shot out, directly hitting Pinsir, knocking it down.

The Ground-type Pinsir, after taking a Hydro Pump, was full of pain and collapsed to the ground, losing its fighting ability.

“Who are you?!” Ma Yuan didn't have time to care about Pinsir's condition, as he had already seen who was attacking.

Not far away, Xiao Mao and Blastoise were standing there. The Hydro Pump just now was also fired by Blastoise.

“Who I am isn’t important. What matters is you better surrender, or you'll die here today.” Xiao Mao said, opening the two Poké Balls at his waist.

“Roar!!”

“Ah!!”

Metagross and Aerodactyl both appeared.

Ma Yuan and Lang Yan both looked serious when they saw the Pokémon released by Xiao Mao.

The Pokémon Xiao Mao released were all fully evolved Pokémon, their strength was undoubtedly strong.

“Raticate, use Slash!”

“Magneton, use Triple Attack!”

Ma Yuan and Lang Yan wouldn't surrender, and immediately ordered the remaining two Pokémon to fight.

Raticate immediately threw the bone stick in its hand, and Magneton also launched Triple Attack.

“Metagross, Aerodactyl, use Ancient Power!”

“Blastoise, use Hydro Pump!”

“Pidgeot, use Heat Wave on the cage and help Zapdos break free.”

Xiao Mao quickly issued commands.

Metagross and Aerodactyl used Ancient Power together, countless stone blades condensed, accompanied by Blastoise's Hydro Pump, they were shot out.

The skills collided, instantly destroying the skills of Raticate and Magneton, knocking them back.

“Pi!”

Pidgeot used Heat Wave.

The Heat Wave blew on the iron cage but was blocked by a barrier, unable to do any damage.

“It even has a protective ability.” Xiao Mao was surprised, he didn’t expect the iron cage that bound Zapdos could also defend itself. This technology was too advanced.
