Terrifying Showdown, Pokémon League Shaken

Ash and the other two followed the path back the way they had come. The deafening explosions behind them never stopped, making it easy to imagine just how fierce the battle was!

As she ran, Misty said worriedly, "The battle sounds really intense. That little pink one will be okay, right?"

Ash casually replied without thinking, "She's really strong. We don't need to worry about her!"

"Huh?" Brock Jr. suddenly caught the important part and pressed, "Ash, why do I get the feeling that you know that Pokémon from earlier?"

Ash knew he had let something slip. He could only close his eyes and keep walking forward, pretending he had not said anything.

Seeing that Ash did not want to discuss it, the two of them knew it had to be some incredible secret.

As the saying went, enemies were bound to meet. Or perhaps they had been prepared for this all along. A huge net flew out from a pipe above, covering the three completely unprepared children.

Ash touched the net and immediately found the trick all too familiar. He had no idea how many times he had been ambushed by this move.

"Damn it, it's Team Rocket! They're here too!"

Misty rubbed her head in frustration. "Why are they everywhere? Can't they take a break for once?"

Jessie: Since you so sincerely asked.

James: We shall kindly tell you!

Jessie: To prevent the world from being destroyed.

James: To protect the peace of the world!

Jessie: To carry out the evils of love and truth.

James: The cute and charming villainous characters!

Jessie!

James!

We are Team Rocket, traveling through the galaxy! A white hole, a white tomorrow awaits us!

Meowth: That's right, meow!

Ash tugged hard at the net covering him and found it truly exceptionally sturdy.
