Chapter 121: Heroic Rescue

Chapter 121: Heroic Rescue When Yuga and Rand arrived at the scene of the explosion, they saw three men surrounding a girl. The attire of these three men was all too familiar to Yuga. Sёarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

They wore black round hats, black uniforms, and had a large red "R" on their chests. There could be no doubt, they were members of Team Rocket.

In Yuga's understanding, Team Rocket was the most powerful among all the evil organizations across various regions. They had a presence in both Kanto and Johto regions, and their existence had been the longest among all the evil organizations.

Normally, Yuga would avoid such situations if possible, but upon recognizing the girl being attacked, he decided it was best to intervene.

Indeed, the girl being attacked was none other than Yuga's intended visit, Mr. Milton's granddaughter, Whitney. She was also the future Gym Leader of Goldenrod City Gym.

If Yuga didn't help now, Mr. Milton would certainly refuse to see him no matter what.

Yuga pulled Rand into a nearby thicket and told him, "Stay hidden here and don't come out."

Rand looked at Yuga's hand and nodded with concern, "Just be careful."

On the other side of the battlefield.

Whitney's Pokémon was a Miltank, while the three attacking men had a Rattata, a Spearow, and a Golbat.

Under Whitney's command, her Miltank used Rollout to knock the Rattata, which was using Quick Attack, aside. Then, Miltank swiftly changed direction, utilizing the momentum of Rollout to leap high and attack the Spearow flying in the air.

However, as a Flying-type Pokémon, Spearow was incredibly agile. With a flap of its wings, it easily evaded Miltank's Rollout. Then, using its move Aerial Ace, it knocked the airborne Miltank down to the ground.

The fallen Miltank was caught in an awkward position, unable to complete its Rollout move. At this moment, another Team Rocket member's Golbat took action.

"Golbat, Air Cutter!"

Several transparent blades of Air Cutter rapidly sliced toward the defenseless Miltank.

Seeing this, Whitney shouted worriedly to her Miltank, "Miltank, be careful!"

However, Miltank was currently between the exhaustion of its old move and the birth of a new move, and it was completely unable to evade the Air Cutter slashes. The attack from Golbat was about to land on Miltank.

"Florges, Magical Leaf."

Just then, leaves materialized out of thin air, blocking all the Air Cutter attacks.

At this moment, Whitney and the three Team Rocket members noticed a young man with a beautiful Pokémon standing not far away.

"Florges, Grassy Terrain."

Before the four could fully react, the voice of the young man rang out again. Green light radiated like a tide, spreading out from the beautiful Pokémon at the center. The grassy ground around them turned a lush shade of green.

At this time, the environment in Goldenrod City's outskirts was perfect for Florges to use Grassy Terrain.

The healing effect from Grassy Terrain alleviated the damage taken by Whitney's Miltank, making her realize that the newcomer was an ally. It also made the three Team Rocket members aware of a new opponent.

Who else could it be but Yuga and his Florges who had come to the rescue?

"Golbat, Wing Attack!"

Realizing the situation, the Team Rocket member commanding Golbat immediately ordered it to attack Florges.

"Florges, Vine Whip."

As Yuga's words fell, two thick Vine Whips quickly entangled Golbat. With a gentle flick, Florges sent the struggling Golbat crashing to the ground.

The Vine Whip of Florges was vastly different from Flabébé and Floette used in the past. It was not only thicker in appearance but also exhibited superior flexibility and binding strength.

This Golbat was the strongest among the three Pokémon. Seeing it easily knocked down, the other two Team Rocket members began to hesitate, considering retreat.

"What are you standing around for? Attack now!" The commander of the Golbat shouted at the other two.

After a moment's hesitation, the other two abandoned the idea of retreating and commanded their own Pokémon.

"Rattata, use Tackle!"

"Spearow, use Quick Attack!"

Upon hearing the commands, Rattata and Spearow immediately abandoned their engagement with Miltank and turned their attacks toward Yuga and Florges.

"Florges, Magical Leaf."

Empowered by the Grassy Terrain, over a dozen blade-like leaves streaked toward the two Pokémon, quickly taking down Rattata and Spearow.

The Magical Leaf that Floette and Flabébé could use in the past was limited to four leaves and was much weaker than now. Currently, Florges could use over a dozen Magical Leaves. The leaves were not only sharper but also enhanced in resilience and binding force, making Yuga's envisioned Magical Leaf Storm even more plausible.

Yuga observed Rattata and Fearow. Their levels were not high, and their potentials were only rated as yellow. The attack of just a Magical Leaf rendered them unable to battle.

Meanwhile, the Golbat, which had been flung to the ground by the Vine Whip, had managed to regain its footing and was still in fighting condition. This showed that there was a considerable power gap between these three Pokémon.

Of course, this also had to do with the Flying-type Golbat's inherent resistance to Grass-type moves like Vine Whip.

Although the Golbat's potential was also rated as yellow, its level was much higher than the other two.

"Golbat, Air Cutter!"

Seeing their comrade defeated, the Team Rocket member in command of the Golbat didn't retreat. Instead, they ordered Golbat to continue its attack on Florges.

"Florges, Fairy Wind!"

Empowered by the Grassy Terrain, a pink storm generated by Florges's Fairy Wind swallowed up the incoming Air Cutter attacks before dissipating into the air.

Witnessing this, the Team Rocket member with Golbat finally displayed a hint of retreat, but Yuga didn't give them the chance.

"Florges, Moonblast!"

With the backdrop of a silver-bright moon behind it, Florges appeared even more noble and untouchable. A dazzling beam of white light engulfed the Golbat.

Although the Poison-type Golbat possessed some resistance to Fairy-type moves, it still lost its battle capability under the might of Florges's Moonblast.

This was the result of a power disparity.

Just as Yuga defeated the Golbat, applause suddenly rang out.

"Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect you to be so skilled at such a young age. Would you be interested in joining Team Rocket?"
