"Xiaolan, are you okay?" The three people who had pulled Xiaolan in earlier fled immediately after seeing their superior in such a sorry state.
"I'm so scared... Brother Xiaoyan..." Xiaolan's eyes welled up with tears, and she hugged Xiaoyan and cried.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have left you at the bow."
Just like this, they hugged for three seconds after their reunion.
"We'll guard the hostages here." Xiaoyan stared coldly at Green Shadow, whose body was covered in blood.
"Lord Green Shadow!!!" A group of Team Rocket members suddenly crowded into the captain's cabin from the door.
"Don't move, or your Lord Green Shadow will go to feed the fish in the sea." Xiaoyan said with a smile on his face, looking at everyone.
"Kid, let's talk this out. Return Lord Green Shadow to us immediately, and we can spare your lives." Well... they were still trying to act tough even when they were in a desperate situation.
"You have no right to bargain with me. Now all of you get out of the S.S. Anne and return all the things you've stolen. Otherwise, it won't be just Green Shadow going to feed the fish." Xiaoyan took Green Shadow to the window. Outside was the boundless sea, which made Green Shadow extremely panicked.
"What are you guys doing? Don't you know how to order everyone to retreat? Do you want me to die?!"
Green Shadow roared anxiously at the Team Rocket members.
"Yes, my lord." The Team Rocket members rushed out of the door to order everyone to retreat.
"Well done, old man. I'll send you back to your ship." Just as Xiaoyan was about to send Green Shadow back, a strange smile appeared on Green Shadow's lips.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew Xiaoyan, Xiaolan, and Green Shadow to the corner. A group of two people and a cat walked over.
"Even though you didn't say anything, we'll still be kind enough to answer you."
"To protect the world from destruction."
"To unite all peoples within our nation."
"To denounce the evils of truth and love."
"To extend our reach to the stars above."
"We're Team Rocket, blasting off at the speed of light."
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth! That's right!"
Such familiar lines. It was obvious that it was the goofy trio of Team Rocket.
"Since you don't want the chance I'm giving you, then all of you go back to your lair. Go! Pikachu!"
Pikachu jumped off Xiaoyan's shoulder and used a powerful Thunderbolt on the three people and the cat. They were blasted into the air by the explosion.
"What a disgusting feeling."
Then Xiaoyan turned around and took Green Shadow, who was in the corner, to the window.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it. Then go and feed the fish!"
Even though Green Shadow kept begging Xiaoyan for mercy, Xiaoyan still threw him out.
After that, Xiaoyan and his group ran to the bow of the ship and saw an astonishing sight.
"Xiaoyan, you've worked hard. I've punished all these guys."
There was a mountain of people on the deck.
"Damn it! Another one. Let's get out of here quickly." The remaining Team Rocket members immediately jumped into the small boats beside the ship and fled after seeing Xiaoyan.
"All passengers can come out now. The Team Rocket members on the S.S. Anne have all retreated." The announcement reached Xiaoyan and his group's ears again.
It turned out that the person making the announcement was just watching the show.
"Thank you for saving my precious ship." An old man slowly walked towards Xiaoyan.
"Xiaoyan, this is the captain of the S.S. Anne." Xiaomao whispered in Xiaoyan's ear.
"As a token of my gratitude, here are these Pokémon for you." The captain took out three Poké Balls and handed them to Xiaoyan and his group.
"This is all I can give you. I hope they can help you in the future."
Xiaoyan and the others couldn't wait to release the Pokémon inside.
"Wow! It's an Eevee!" Xiaolan immediately jumped up and down happily.
"Eevee is indeed worth training." Xiaomao was still the same as always.
"What should Eevee evolve into?" Xiaoyan took this question seriously.
At this time, the ship slowly docked. The group bid farewell to the captain.
"Xiaoyan, let's continue with our promise. We must have another battle in the final of the Indigo League. Until then, both of us should get stronger." Xiaomao said goodbye to Xiaoyan reluctantly.
"Xiaolan, did Brother Xiaoyan lie to you?" Xiaoyan looked at the happy Xiaolan with a doting look in his eyes. Xiaolan was happily hugging her first Pokémon - Eevee.
"Yeah! Thank you, Brother Xiaoyan～" The two happily continued their journey.
"What?! You came back empty - handed and even cost me a beloved subordinate!!!" In a very luxurious room, a middle - aged man was sitting on the sofa with a Persian lying at his feet. He angrily scolded the Team Rocket member who came to report.
"My lord, please spare my life! Those two kids are too strong. We simply can't handle them..." The Team Rocket member was so scared that he quickly knelt down and begged the boss to spare his life when he saw the boss getting so angry.
"What's the use of keeping you useless guys? You can't even beat kids. Get out of here! I don't want to see you again!!!"
The Team Rocket member turned pale and his legs went weak after hearing this. Seeing the Team Rocket member in this state, the Persian went over and carried him out, making him disappear from the boss's sight.
