Chapter 417: Trapinch

As the smoke cleared, May and the others looked at the Mawile beside the child, Sayuri, and were immediately plunged into confusion.

Mawile wasn’t taken away, so who did Team Rockets take...

"Lombre!"

Brock snapped out of his daze and shouted, flailing about.

"Don’t worry Brock, we will help you rescue Lombre!" Ash patted Brock on the shoulder.

Upon hearing Ash’s words, May and the others immediately understood everything and followed in Ash’s footsteps to chase after the Team Rocket Trio.

Fearing that Brock hadn’t fully grasped Ash’s meaning, Sayuri very straightforwardly asked Brock to deal with the audience for the time being.

Upon hearing this, Brock could only accept reality through tears.

Of course, in order to fool the audience, Brock also called out to May’s Skitty and Swablu.

Inside the forest next to the town.

The Team Rocket Trio looked at the foolish Lombre, and their good mood instantly vanished completely.

Even Meowth, who could usually come up with all sorts of pranks to amuse Giovanni, found his mind blank when faced with the foolish Lombre, unable to think of any reason to deceive himself.

However, Jessie’s Wobbuffet was actually able to perform a crosstalk routine with the foolish Lombre.

"Team Rockets, give Lombre back," Ash shouted.

"Things that end up in the hands of our Team Rockets will absolutely never be returned obediently!" Jessie shouted.

"Then there’s no room for negotiation. Go, Blaziken!"

May directly brought out her strongest combatant.

"Please, let Mawile also do its part," Sayuri also stepped forward.

Seeing this, Jessie and James both brought out their Pokemon.

"Blaziken, use Flamethrower!"

"Mawile, use Focus Punch!"

Cacnea and Seviper were simply no match for Blaziken and Mawile, and they were thoroughly defeated in a single move.

Ash also took the opportunity to call Lombre over.

After confirming Lombre’s safety, May and Sayuri once again commanded their Pokemon to use their ultimate moves to send the Team Rocket Trio flying.

After returning to the stage, while Sayuri and Mawile were performing, Lombre headed straight for Sayuri’s backpack with a clear objective, took out a Water Stone, completed its life transition, and successfully evolved into its final form, Ludicolo.

But because of this, it was spurned by that heartless Mawile, thereby escaping Mawile’s entanglement!

Yes, Sayuri’s Mawile is a heartless girl; the type that might take a liking to any male Water-type Pokemon it sees, throwing itself at them, only to ruthlessly dump them once it gets tired of them, and then search for the next victim.

After staying for the night, Ash’s group bid farewell to Sayuri and set off on their journey once again.

Not long after leaving the town, the group got lost again and appeared in a desert area filled with large pits.

"Hey, Brock, what exactly is this place?" Ash asked in confusion.

Brock answered righteously: "I’m not sure. The Pokemon Navigator isn’t responding, and the travel guide doesn’t have any information. We probably took a wrong turn at the last intersection, so..."

"Getting lost is just a habit. But don’t you think it’s strange that this place is filled with weird pits?" May asked, looking at Ash.

"These holes were all dug by Pokemon, look."

Ash picked up a stone and threw it into one of the pits.

The stone hit the ground, and a large orange-yellow head popped out from the bottom of the burrow.

"Is that... Trapinch?" Brock asked, surprised.

"Trapinch?"

May skeptically took out her Pokedex to look up the information.

[Trapinch, the Ant Pit Pokemon, stays at the bottom of a bowl-shaped nest...]

After reading the Pokedex information, May exclaimed: "Could it be that these pits were all dug by Trapinch?"

"That’s right, and there are quite a lot of them."

Ash quite wanted to catch a Ground-type dragon that could use Dragon Dance.

Just then, a large jeep came speeding from behind them.

The person driving was a short-haired beauty wearing a reserve worker’s uniform.

"You guys, hurry up and leave this place. This is a dangerous area where entry is prohibited."

Just as the beauty finished speaking, Brock flashed in front of her.

Brock’s actions immediately gave the other person a scare.

"Beautiful lady, my name is Brock. May I ask for your name..."

"My name is Akiko, and I am the safety manager of this area," Akiko said with a serious face.

"In that case, beautiful lady, please rescue me. I have already fallen with you into the bottomless swamp of love..."

Before Brock could finish his sentence, Deoxys and Jirachi took action.

This time, they gave Brock an alternative free-fall experience; Deoxys dragged Brock into mid-air and let go, while Jirachi waited at a height of three meters from the ground, casting Teleport on Brock to return him to Deoxys’ side, repeating the cycle over and over.

Seeing Jirachi and Brock’s Deoxys silently elevate the content of Brock’s sanction, Ash couldn’t help but secretly give them a thumbs up.

Akiko, standing on the side, watched this scene in astonishment.

After Ash learned about the situation in the vicinity from Akiko, he found out that because there were a large number of Trapinch in this area, a huge underground labyrinth had formed beneath the ground.

This labyrinth was composed of the Trapinch’s nests, and once a person fell in, it was very difficult to get out.

This was also the reason why this area was listed as a dangerous zone, and Akiko’s job was to ensure the safety of those who accidentally wandered in.

With the help of Akiko’s large jeep, Ash’s group quickly crossed the desert where the Trapinch labyrinth was located and arrived at a small oasis.

Although the oasis was small, the number of wild Pokemon was quite large.

Ash sensed through Aura that not far from this small oasis, there was a large oasis located beneath a canyon.

Suddenly, a young man appeared directly in front of Ash and the others, being chased by a Donphan.

Seeing that young man, Akiko sighed helplessly, "Sigh, he’s here again!"

Seeing Akiko’s large jeep, the young man seemed to see a savior, and shouted desperately: "Ahhh!! Akiko, save me!"

Akiko stopped the vehicle, took out a Pokemon, "Go, Meganium."

Meganium familiarly released Sweet Scent to soothe the irritable Donphan.

The young man scratched his head and said somewhat awkwardly: "Ha, saved. Akiko, I’m really sorry, I’m always causing you trouble."
