Police station.
“Those Squirtle just now are called the Squirtle Squad.”
Jenny opened the computer on the desk, brought up the information on those Squirtle, and explained their origin to Ash and the others.
“The Squirtle Squad? That doesn't sound like wild Pokémon.”
Yu Teng Sheng Dai felt that the name didn't sound like something a wild Pokémon would have; after all, these were Squirtle, not Meowth.
They didn't seem like the kind of Pokémon that would prank humans because of certain incidents.
“Yes, they are all Pokémon abandoned by their Trainers.”
Jenny slowly said, pointing to the information on the computer, that all these Squirtle were abandoned Pokémon.
“Not again.”
Hearing Jenny's words, Ash and Pikachu's moods visibly darkened; after all, the two companions they had caught recently were both Pokémon abandoned by their Trainers.
“They go around playing pranks, which has caused a lot of trouble for the people in town.”
“If they had met good Pokémon Trainers back then, they wouldn't have ended up like this.”
After showing some of the information to Ash and the others, Jenny's mood visibly dropped significantly, as she didn't know how those people had passed the League's verification to obtain these starter Pokémon.
“Alright, the main reason I brought you here is that I need your cooperation with registration, as too many people have been pranked by the Squirtle.”
After entering Ash and the others' information into the system, Jenny completed her task of bringing them over and politely escorted them out of the police station.
In the distance.
“Found them! Those cocky Xiao Guitou are here.”
Musashi observed Ash and the others being escorted out by Jenny with binoculars, a hint of excitement in her tone; after searching for a long time, they had finally found the Xiao Guitou's whereabouts.
“Meow, speaking of which, I want to eat a kid's meal.”
Meowth, who was starving, suggested that he wanted to eat, completely oblivious to the folding fan Musashi was pulling out from behind her back.
“I want omurice!”
Kojiro also excitedly echoed Meowth's words; after all, they hadn't eaten lunch yet because they were chasing the Xiao Guitou.
The next second, Musashi's folding fan struck both their faces, knocking them to the ground.
“Why did you hit us?!”
Kojiro, with a red mark on his face, angrily stood up and yelled at Musashi.
He didn't understand why Musashi suddenly hit them; was there something wrong with discussing what to eat for lunch?
“Then you tell me, what are your brains thinking about?”
Hearing Kojiro ask such a question, Musashi was also somewhat exasperated; all they thought about was eating, eating, eating all day long.
“The lunch menu...”
Looking at Musashi's angry expression, Kojiro's voice couldn't help but weaken; after all, Musashi's face always reminded him of a fearsome old acquaintance.
He involuntarily lost a bit of his imposing presence to Musashi.
“My belly is so hungry, meow.”
Meowth also stood up, looking at Musashi helplessly; they really hadn't eaten for a long time, so wasn't it normal to be hungry?
“Damn it!”
Musashi squinted at Meowth and Kojiro, expressing contempt for their spineless behavior.
Then she gave them their favorite big slaps... their favorite fan strikes.
“Don't forget, Team Rockets' goal is to conquer the world! So we must capture that rare Pokémon and give it to the Boss, do you hear me?!”
Musashi looked at Meowth and Kojiro, disappointed; had they forgotten their ambition, which was to capture Pikachu and give it to the Boss?
How could they catch Pikachu and reach the top if all they thought about was eating?! Musashi's body trembled with anger.
If only her body were as tough as her mouth.
“Grrr~ ~”
“Ahahaha, before that, we'll just eat our bento.”
A rumbling sound came from Musashi's stomach, which instantly changed her expression; eating was the most important thing in the world, after all.
She skillfully pulled out the picnic basket containing their lunch from behind her, ready to begin their wonderful lunch time.
“Great!”
“Lunchtime, lunchtime! Meow!”
Even though Kojiro and Meowth really wanted to complain about Musashi's double standards, in front of their lunch, they still bowed their noble heads, cheering for the arrival of lunchtime.
However, at this moment, they seemed to notice something; they all turned their heads to look, and the Squirtle Squad had already surrounded them.
“What are you guys?”
Musashi was very confused about when they had been surrounded by a group of Pokémon from behind.
For the Squirtle Squad, coming to check their traps and unexpectedly encountering a feast was simply perfect.
“Squirtle! Squirtle!”
The Squirtle Boss thought so, stepping forward and pointing at Meowth and the others, telling Team Rockets to hand over their lunch.
“What is he saying?”
Unable to understand the Pokémon language, Kojiro and Musashi could only ask Meowth, the only one among them who understood Pokémon language, wanting to know what this blue turtle in front of them was saying.
“He's telling us to give him our food, meow.”
Meowth was also stunned by the Squirtle Boss's rude words; since when could a Pokémon threaten Team Rockets?
“Seriously, are you trying to intimidate us?”
Musashi couldn't tolerate such humiliation; she immediately took out the Poké Ball containing Ekans, and Kojiro, not to be outdone, pulled out the Poké Ball containing Koffing, wanting to teach this Pokémon who didn't know its place a lesson.
“Squirtle! Squirtle!”
The Squirtle Boss, however, was not afraid at all; he even provocatively beckoned with his hand as if inviting Team Rockets to try.
Under the sunlight, the Squirtle Boss's sunglasses gleamed brightly; after all, they didn't know how they had gotten into the trap without triggering it, but since it hadn't been triggered, it could be used now.
“What an unteachable fellow! Eh, ah ah!!!”
Musashi and Kojiro, seeing the unafraid Squirtle, also became enraged and took a step forward.
Unexpectedly, this very step led them into the trap set by the Squirtle.
“Squirtle!”
Seeing the three Team Rockets members fall into the trap and temporarily lose consciousness, the Squirtle Boss proudly ordered his subordinates to quickly tie them up, otherwise, it would be difficult once they woke up.
The Squirtle subordinates were also very efficient; in a short while, they had Musashi and Kojiro tied to tree trunks, unable to break free.
Fearing that Meowth would use his claws to help them escape, they also tied Meowth up separately, suspended in the air.
After all this was done, the Squirtle Boss gathered all his subordinates in front of the picnic basket and distributed Team Rockets' food to each member according to the quantity.
Having gotten a free feast, the Squirtle's somewhat bad mood, caused by not having pranked anyone for the first time today, instantly improved a lot.
