"Stinky brat, don't let us catch you, or you'll regret it!"
Meowth used 'Vicious Words'. It wasn't convinced, believing Lu Sheng had ambushed them. Otherwise, how could the three of them not defeat Lu Sheng?
Musashi and James thought the same, especially Musashi. She really hadn't expected Lu Sheng to trick her; she had genuinely considered giving Lu Sheng special treatment back then.
It was all for naught!
"Lu Sheng, are you alright?"
Xiao Xia and Nurse Joy ran out of the Pokémon Center, looking anxious. Their eyes carefully scanned Lu Sheng, and only when they saw he was unharmed did they relax.
"I'm fine!"
Lu Sheng looked at the Team Rocket Trio, who were lying on the ground temporarily incapacitated, a smile playing on his lips: "They're the ones with problems!"
They looked at the Team Rocket Trio, who were completely blackened and sprawled awkwardly on the ground, a stark contrast to how they had appeared earlier.
"You're tough this time. We hope you'll be as lucky next time!"
What a great humiliation... The Team Rocket Trio added Lu Sheng to their priority target list.
"You're not getting away!"
Officer Jenny arrived late, wearing a dark blue suit jacket that perfectly hugged her curves. The collar was simple and elegant, without excessive decoration, yet it showcased her full temperament.
A pair of fair, long legs stepped out of the police car. Even in the night sky, those long, white legs were a striking presence.
After assessing the situation, Officer Jenny's expression was somewhat serious. Without a word, she cuffed the Team Rocket Trio, then turned to Lu Sheng, her eyes gentle and with a faint smile.
"Lu Sheng, thank you very much for defeating Team Rocket and Helping Hand us catch them!"
Officer Jenny extended her hand, very grateful to Lu Sheng. The Team Rocket Trio had committed many bad deeds, but they had never been able to catch them.
She had been worried about this for a long time. Not long ago, she received a call from Nurse Joy, saying that Team Rocket was attacking the Pokémon Center, and she immediately rushed over. And now she saw Team Rocket lying on the ground.
"It was just a small favor."
Lu Sheng held Officer Jenny's slender, jade-like hand, which was soft and long.
A gentle smile appeared on Officer Jenny's lips, and her bright eyes carefully observed Lu Sheng, a glimmer of light appearing.
Her voice was melodious, like colliding ice, as she softly said: "Regardless, I must thank you!"
"Those two have bounties on their heads. By Helping Hand us catch them, you can receive a league bonus. However, it will take a few days for the bonus to come through, so you'll have to wait!"
Officer Jenny was a bit curious about Lu Sheng. A single person with a Pikachu could catch two members of Team Rocket; his strength was not simple!
"No problem!"
Lu Sheng was overjoyed. He hadn't expected the Team Rocket Trio to drop gold coins. He looked at the Team Rocket Trio with much more 'kindness' in his eyes, as if he were looking at a bonus.
Stinky brat, you dare to earn our money? Sooner or later, we'll make you spit it out!
The Team Rocket Trio remembered Lu Sheng, and then they were taken away by Officer Jenny.
[Mission complete: Defeat the Team Rocket Trio in an unconventional way, protect the Pokémon Center, and leave a deep impression on them!]
[Mission Reward: One-star Good Citizen title (As the number of stars increases, unexpected rewards will be obtained)]
The Team Rocket Trio gave a lot... Lu Sheng looked forward to the Team Rocket Trio triggering another mission.
"Let's go back and rest. Someone will come to repair it tomorrow!"
Nurse Joy led the two back to the Pokémon Center.
"Lu Sheng, your skills are so impressive. How did you train them?"
Xiao Xia was very curious about Lu Sheng's skills. Not only did he defeat several Spearow bare-handed, but he also knocked out those two from Team Rocket.
"I just practice every day!"
"How do you practice?"
"I just practice with a friend every day; she acts as a sparring partner."
So diligent... Nurse Joy thought, if she also trained with Lu Sheng, she could practice here at the Pokémon Center.
"Teach me when you have time; I want to train too!"
Xiao Xia nodded thoughtfully, looking at Lu Sheng, thinking he was so diligent, no wonder his skills were so good!
...After chatting for a short while, Xiao Xia returned to her room to rest, and Nurse Joy checked on the Pokémon recuperating at the Pokémon Center.
Meanwhile, Lu Sheng went to call Delia.
He had wanted to call earlier, but it was delayed by the Team Rocket Trio breaking into the Pokémon Center.
Ding!
Delia answered the phone. From the screen, Lu Sheng saw Delia had just showered, wrapped in a bathrobe, with water droplets still falling from her hair.
"Lu Sheng."
Seeing Lu Sheng, Delia brightened, then gave a delicate huff, saying coquettishly: "It took you so long to call me. Are you perhaps hooking up with some young lady?"
Lu Sheng chuckled and recounted what had just happened to Delia.
Upon hearing it, Delia looked at Lu Sheng nervously, even making him turn around to see if he was injured: "Are you really alright?"
"I'm fine!"
"That's right, you're so amazing, who could possibly beat you!"
Delia nodded, relieved.
"I can't beat you, though!"
Delia paused, then seeing Lu Sheng's smile, she realized, a blush appearing on her face: "Oh, I... I didn't. It's all you, you scoundrel, being mischievous."
"Alright, alright, it's all me being mischievous. You definitely weren't proactive!"
Delia was thin-skinned, and Lu Sheng loved to see her shy expression.
