Dodrio was feeling extremely frustrated right now because he realized he had underestimated everyone all along! Team Rocket's previous disruptions had been successful, but the contestants in this tournament were all hidden dragons and crouching tigers! That Tauros that bumped into Nidorina's butt was still leading Nidorina and Nidorino on a wild chase—somehow, Nidorina and Nidorino were keeping up at full speed without getting tired. And that charging Rhydon was terrifyingly fast! That Raticate was even hopping right behind it—
"Damn it! Could it be...!"
"Dodrio, you finally noticed? Instead of resorting to cheap tricks, you should just—"
Think of some ways to compete properly. Just like Ash's Squirtle knows how to use Skull Bash.
The trainer riding a Rhyhorn whispered while approaching the Dodrio.
"A reputation earned through underhanded means is nothing but a stain for a trainer."
The trainer riding a Raticate also chimed in.
After being able to say that, don't forget there's a river crossing ahead! Your Rhydon can't even stand on the rocks! And that Onix over there! You should give up too!
After taunting, Dodrio began to accelerate, just as it said, the path ahead—
was indeed a river crossing. Ash's Ponyta was running effortlessly along the rocky river path, accompanied by Kirlia riding a Growlithe. Squirtle had it much easier, since it could swim.
Dodrio kept leaping along the rocky path while still managing to taunt Rhydon and Onix a little.
"Hahaha! You two heavyweight guys should just quit already~⊥_?!
Watching Dodrio's smug expression, Brock's lips curled as he shouted, "Onix, start rolling!"
Along with Onix
With a roar, it actually connected head to tail, forming a circle, and then began rolling forward like a wheel.
"What?!"
Dodrio now felt like the whole world was against him. But it wasn't over yet. The Rhyhorn's trainer also shouted: "Go, Rhyhorn, jump up!!!"
Then the Rhyhorn actually leaped straight onto the rock and continued jumping forward before the stone sank.
Dodrio felt the malice emanating from the world.
"Wow! This tournament is truly full of hidden talents! I never expected—
Everyone has their own unique skills—Squirtle's Skull Bash, Onix's Rollout, and Rhyhorn's incredible leap! Simply amazing! Oh! The leading group has already reached the next challenge: 'Fill Your Belly.' After eating the feed, they'll continue forward by instinct. By the way, special thanks to Trainer Ash's company for generously providing the premium Pokémon ingredients!_"
Hearing the commentator's words, Ash curled his lips. There was no way he could tell them that he had requested premium ingredients because he was worried the competition's feed might not suit his Pokémon's tastes.
Meanwhile, Ponyta was quietly eating the feed in front of it. Ash gazed at the deep, dark blue flames on its body and said, 'It's really beautiful—
the blue flames.'
After checking on Ponyta, Ash turned his attention to Kirlia and Pikachu. Kirlia was doing fine—Growlithe ate quickly, while Kirlia took its time. But Pikachu and Squirtle had actually brought their own condiments. Pikachu was dipping its food in ketchup, and Squirtle was using shrimp paste, both happily devouring their meals with such enthusiasm that Ash could only stare in disbelief.
Then the second team led by Doduo arrived. However, the biggest trouble for Dodrio now was that Dodrio had three heads and would start fighting (hilarious).
Watching them start fighting before even eating.
With its three heads, Doduo could only hope that Team Rocket would step in quickly.
"Not good! Dodrio's problem is acting up again! Let's go!" Meowth, of course, knew Dodrio's issue well.
Upon seeing Dodrio in trouble, he immediately called Jessie and James for help. James then began what he does best—creating smoke screens.
Go, Weezing, use Smog!
Soon, the entire battlefield was shrouded in smoke. Seeing this, Ash sighed and said, 'You never learn, do you?'
'Since you've asked so sincerely...
"I'll be generous..."
Boom!
With the sound of a cannon blast, Team Rocket trio was hit by an unknown artillery strike and successfully launched into the sky.
Jessie, "What's going on? Where did that cannon fire come from?"
James, 'No idea?! There's a spaceship over there—get on!'
Meowth. 'That's a Pokémon Hunter's ship!? Damn it, we'll remember this grudge!'
'What a terrible feeling' *3_
Watching Team Rocket's ship get blasted away, Ash narrowed his eyes. He had seen that model of ship before—it was the same type J used. So it seemed a Pokémon Hunter had come this time.
Meanwhile on the spaceship, someone was reporting to the person seated in the main position.
'X, we don't know if the artillery hit its target, the smoke screen is too thick.'
'Then disperse the smoke! And stop firing. If that Ponyta gets hurt, you're all dead!'
'Understood!'
Thinking of the differently colored Ponyta hunter he had just seen, he couldn't help but say, "A Ponyta with blue flames would surely fetch a hefty price..."
