Chapter 187: Conquering
"I didn't see it, but the ham I just bought is also gone. I searched for a long time and finally found the ham bag here." Nurse Joy also looked confused.
"Nurse Joy is like that too! It seems this wild canine Pokémon is in big trouble," Ash guessed.
He always felt this was a plotline idiot had experienced, but too much time had passed, and Ash had forgotten many minor details.
"Ash, do you think this could be the work of the Team Rocket Trio?" Misty guessed.
"Not them. Meowth walks on two feet, and Jessie and James's Pokémon are not canine.
Ash was certain that Team Rockets didn't steal their backpack, but he wasn't sure about Nurse Joy's ham.
Then he pointed to the alley next to them and said, "And those three idiots are actually in there; they didn't run far at all."
Inside the alley, hearing that Ash had discovered them, the Team Rocket Trio didn't plan to hide. Anyway, they hadn't done anything bad. As for Nurse Joy's ham, they took it, but didn't eat it, so it had nothing to do with them.
"Ash, this really has nothing to do with us!"
"That's right, we have things to do, so we're leaving first!"
The Team Rocket Trio sprang out of the alley and ran towards the forest.
"It really is those three idiots," Brock said.
"They are indeed idiots, but their luck is unparalleled. Look at the ground."
Ash was speechless. It turned out the Team Rocket Trio were the true protagonists, huh? The direction they randomly chose to run was surprisingly also the direction the wild Pokémon ran.
The group followed the footprints and chased after them.
But not long after entering the forest, the footprints disappeared.
"What, the footprints are gone again," Misty said with some disappointment.
"It's fine, this is very close to their nest, and those three idiots from Team Rockets should have already met them by now. We'll know in a while."
With Team Rockets scouting ahead, Ash believed that with the aura of these three guys, they would definitely run into the main target.
Before long, a weak howl came from deep within the forest, "Ooooh~"
"Found it, let's go check it out."
Ash ran towards the sound.
Misty and Brock immediately followed.
Soon, they arrived outside another bare Rock cave.
The Team Rocket Trio were standing at the entrance, confronting five or six Houndour. A weak Houndour lay on the ground at the Trio's feet.
"Oh no, that Houndour seems to be in a very bad state!" Misty said.
"Yes, it's too weak; if it continues like this, it could easily die," Brock also noticed something was wrong.
The Team Rocket Trio also noticed Ash and the others. Jessie shouted, "Ash, you're late this time! These Houndour are ours!"
"Heh, if you three idiots don't want to be sent flying, quickly let go of that Houndour, or you'll be in for it," Ash said.
"Humph, this is our trophy; we won't let go. Hey, you guys who want to save your companion, go capture those little brats for me!" Jessie shouted at the other Houndour.
"Awooo!" (Let it go, you can leave)
The Houndour leader glared fiercely at the Team Rocket Trio.
That look made the Trio's legs tremble, but with the 'dog hostage' in hand, they forced themselves to calm down.
"You... you guys hurry up and act, or else we won't be polite to your companion, Meowth!"
Meowth flashed its sharp cat claws at the Houndour.
"Houndour, don't believe these three idiots; they lie without blinking," Ash shouted.
"Ash, what are you saying? We are the most honest villains!" James retorted.
"That's right, Ash, you can doubt our business capabilities, but you cannot doubt our integrity!" Jessie also couldn't stand Ash slandering their reputation.
"Hey, if you guys don't act, we're going to get serious!" Meowth extended a trembling hand and placed its claw on the weak Houndour.
Seeing this, the Houndour could only turn their aggression towards Ash and the others.
"How troublesome, Gallade, Gholdengo, come out!"
Ash took out two Poké Ball.
Seeing Ash release two powerful Pokémon, the Houndour leader stepped forward, intending to have a one-on-one battle with Ash.
Pokémon: Houndour
Attribute: Dark + Fire
Gender: Male
Level: Excellent Primary
Characteristic: Flash Fire (When attacked by a Fire-type move, it absorbs the flames, and its own Fire-type moves become stronger.)
Aptitude: Elite
Skills: Glare, Ember, Smog, Bite, Beat Up.....
Pikachu, Eevee, you two go restrain Team Rockets. Gallade, Gholdengo, subdue these Houndour.
Ash had already marked this group of Houndour as his own, for no other reason than their potential for Super Evolution, Mega Houndoom's 140 Special Attack, and that cool white bone armor.
Pikachu and Eevee rushed directly towards Team Rockets. The Houndour wanted to stop them, but Gallade and Gholdengo blocked their way. With the huge level gap, they were powerless to stop them.
Also, Gallade and Gholdengo were both Quasi-Elite Middle Stage or above, while these wild Houndour only had one Excellent Primary, and the rest were Elite-level.
"Pikachu, Eevee, don't come over here!"
Seeing Pikachu and them running towards them, the Team Rocket Trio panicked.
"Pika?"
"Bui~"
Pikachu unleashed Thunderbolt, while Eevee used Swift.
Under the bombardment of the two moves, the Trio received a 'meteor shower' package.
"What a nasty feeling!"
With Pikachu and Eevee having dealt with Team Rockets, Ash only had the Houndour leader left to capture.
"Alright, those three idiots have been beaten away. I will save your companion, and this place isn't suitable for you to live. I will arrange a worry-free home for you, so rest assured and become my Pokémon."
After Ash finished speaking, he threw another Luxury Ball to capture the Houndour leader.
This time, the Houndour leader did not struggle out of the Pokémon's capture.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for capturing Houndour, receiving a reward of 7,000 points, Houndoomite 1, Overlord Essence Liquid 1, Black Glasses *6."
"All that's left is to heal this Houndour."
Ash walked up to the weak Houndour and used Natural Power to heal its injuries.
Within a few seconds, the Houndour's injuries were almost completely healed. The Houndour licked Ash, and then willingly allowed Ash to capture it.
Just like that, Ash swept up all seven wild Houndour.
