The person who launched the attack was, needless to say, Vicious.
After both mechanical claw arms were knocked aside, Vicious piloted the enormous spider robot out from behind the trees, with the Team Rocket Trio still shadowing him.
It seemed yesterday's defeat hadn't made Vicious abandon them. He had kept the three around instead.
"Did you think you could get away?" Vicious sneered. "After a night's rest, it's time for round two!"
"Hand over Celebi!" Jessie shouted at Xia You and the others.
Meowth, beside her, didn't forget to add, "And Pikachu, too!!"
Though the three members of Team Rocket looked aggressive, they were clearly putting on a brave front. That couldn't be helped. After all, they had launched yesterday's attack brimming with confidence, only to meet the same fate of defeat. It had made them realize that even with Vicious to lean on, they couldn't take certain things for granted.
They were only still following Vicious today because they couldn't accept it and wanted another try.
But if things ended the same way as yesterday, then sorry, they would ditch Vicious without hesitation and flee at the first opportunity!
"You really won't give up your crooked schemes!"
Yukinari frowned, but he had no choice but to send out Charmeleon again. Ash and the others hurriedly released their own Pokémon as well, surrounding everyone to protect them.
"I suggest you stop this useless resistance." Naturally, Vicious showed no fear, releasing his Shadow Tyranitar again.
"Roar!"
As soon as Shadow Tyranitar appeared, it fired another Hyper Beam, just as before. Naturally, none of them could withstand such power, and Xia You and the others could only dodge aside.
But that broke their formation again.
The Team Rocket Trio released their Pokémon at that moment too, attacking Xia You and the others.
