"What an adorable Pokémon! Let big sister touch it!" Xiao Xia couldn't move when she saw such a cute Pokémon. She reached out to hug a Clefairy.
Clefairy didn't mind being held by Xiao Xia, and Xiao Xia couldn't bear to let go once she held it.
However, she didn't intend to capture it. Xiao Zhi asked in confusion, "Xiao Xia, why aren't you capturing a Pokémon?"
Xiao Xia stroked Clefairy's head and said proudly, "Hmph, hmph~ Because I want to become the world's number one water-type Pokémon Trainer. Although this Clefairy is very cute, I won't capture it for now."
Xiao Zhi heard Xiao Xia's words and secretly rejoiced, 'Fortunately, my goal is to be a Pokémon Master, and I didn't add a specific type in front of it. I can capture whatever type I want.'
Li Qingfeng: Indeed.
'By the way, Li Dage, do you have any Pokémon you recommend for me to capture?' Xiao Zhi began chatting with Li Qingfeng.
At Xiao Zhi's question, Li Qingfeng said without hesitation, 'Gengar, Aerodactyl, Dragonite...'
The more Xiao Zhi listened, the more fantastical it seemed. Gengar and Dragonite might be possible, but how could he possibly capture a Pokémon like Aerodactyl that had long been extinct?
Li Qingfeng's next words enlightened Xiao Zhi: 'Anything is possible. Maybe you'll encounter an Aerodactyl later. Believe in your luck! Go for it, young man!'
'Hmm! Li Dage, I will definitely capture these Pokémon!' Xiao Zhi's mind suddenly became heated, and the atmosphere grew tense.
In the silent night, the dark sky gradually cleared of clouds, revealing a bright moon. It hung like a white jade in the deep blue curtain, appearing exceptionally bright and pure. Moonlight spilled onto the earth, instantly enveloping everything in a soft, silvery glow.
Under the Moonlight, a quiet and serene atmosphere spread. Clefairy seemed to pause for this special moment, and all sounds fell silent.
The Xiao Zhi trio were gradually drawn to this peaceful scene, slowly looking up at the sky. Their thoughts unfolded under the bright Moonlight.
Memories surged, and future hopes quietly increased. Different emotions flickered in everyone's eyes, perhaps a longing for beautiful things, or perhaps a reflection on life.
As night deepened, stars lit up the sky one by one, accompanying the bright moon, forming a fairy-tale-like starry sky.
The Clefairy placed the small Moon Stones they had obtained next to the giant Moon Stone.
Perhaps infected by this beautiful scene, they began to dance lightly around the Moon Stone. As the rhythm of their dance grew faster and faster, the Clefairy seemed to enter a world entirely their own.
Just as they were getting into the zone, a very discordant sound broke the silence: "Meow haha, I didn't expect there to be so many rare Pokémon here, meow!"
"Oh no, it's the Team Rocket Trio!" Xiao Zhi heard the symbolic "meow," realized it was the Team Rocket Trio, and without thinking, pulled out a poké ball and shouted, "Pidgeotto, use Gust!"
"Pidgeot-to!" (Get down, meow! Accept the bird lord's judgment!)
Pidgeotto was clearly very excited. It had been a while since it had been out, and now was a good opportunity to prove itself!
It flapped its wings continuously, stirring up a strong and powerful whirlwind. As its wings vibrated, the whirlwind rushed around, stirring everything up.
Meowth was caught in it and couldn't help but shout at Musashi and Kojiro, "What are you doing, meow! Quickly send out your Pokémon, meow!"
Actually, Meowth didn't need to speak; the other two had already taken out their poké balls and were preparing to respond.
Unfortunately, Xiao Xia and Xiao Gang also sent out their respective Pokémon:
"Staryu, use Water Gun!"
"Geodude, use Rollout to knock them away!"
A Pokémon that looked like a five-pointed star, as soon as it appeared, shot a Water Gun from the point on its head, hitting Musashi's hand squarely.
Musashi cried out in pain, and the poké ball holding Ekans fell to the ground. Kojiro, however, successfully released Koffing and promptly commanded, "Now! Use Smog!"
Geodude curled into a ball. However, just as it had rolled a few steps, Koffing suddenly sprayed a lot of Smog. The thick Smog quickly spread, enveloping the surrounding environment.
A pungent odor permeated the Smog-filled air, making people cough involuntarily. Through the dense Smog, visibility became blurred, as if one were in a mysterious mist.
The light in the Smog became dim and blurry; through the churning Smog, only faint outlines and dim images could be seen. The originally bright environment was covered by the Smog, and all scenery was shrouded in a hazy veil.
"Pidgeotto, quickly blow away the Smog!" Xiao Zhi commanded Pidgeotto when he saw this.
Xiao Gang narrowed his eyes, recalled Geodude, and sent out his newly captured Zubat: "Zubat, you also quickly blow away the Smog!"
Both flapped their wings simultaneously, and the Smog was soon blown away.
By the time the Smog had completely dispersed, the Team Rocket Trio were nowhere to be seen. Xiao Zhi and his group frowned, realizing that things were not that simple.
"Pi!"
Clefairy's cry caught the attention of Xiao Zhi and the others. They all looked at the platform where the Moon Stone was located and found that the Team Rocket Trio had actually arrived there.
'They're quite efficient. Besides catching Pokémon, all their other skill points are maxed out, truly.' Li Qingfeng remarked with emotion.
"What, you dare to block us? Hand over the Moon Stone! Koffing, use Smog!" Kojiro's voice reached the ears of the four.
Li Qingfeng reminded them: 'poison-type moves are super effective against Fairy-types. Go save them quickly.'
Xiao Zhi nodded and sent out Butterfree, simultaneously commanding both Pokémon: "Pidgeotto, use Gust to blow away the Smog. Butterfree, use Psychic to attack Koffing!"
Koffing's Smog hit many Clefairy, and they were all injured by this sudden attack. Fortunately, Pidgeotto blew away the Smog in time, otherwise more Clefairy would have been harmed.
Butterfree's Psychic move controlled Koffing, which tried to fight back vigorously but to no avail.
For low-level Pokémon, Psychic-type moves were a dimension-reducing attack. Under Butterfree's manipulation, Koffing was unable to break free.
Kojiro shouted indignantly, "Damn it, Koffing, quickly find a way to escape!"
At this shout, a black light emanated from Koffing's entire body, and Psychic was instantly dispelled.
'An Evil-type move, but Koffing seems to have fallen into a confused state.' Li Qingfeng saw Koffing's state and immediately understood that it was using a move called Foul Play.
