Chapter 363: Oak: This Must Be a Big Surprise!

The Gulpin had clearly learned their lesson; this time, they did not choose to head toward the city center from the ground, but instead chose to launch a sneak attack from the sewers.

However, due to the sheer number of Gulpin, they accidentally damaged the underground cables.

The sudden power outage gave Ash and the others, who were waiting at the Pokémon Center, a bad feeling.

Sure enough, after starting the backup generator, Nurse Joy quickly discovered the traces of the Gulpin.

Realizing something was wrong, Nurse Joy immediately activated the mechanisms set up in the sewers, causing iron doors to descend and trap the Gulpin beneath a manhole cover.

The Team Rocket Trio, trailing behind the army of Gulpin, couldn’t help but feel a chill; had they fallen into a trap?

Seeing their path blocked, the Gulpin began to climb up the ladder to the side.

Meanwhile.

Ash and the others, led by Officer Jenny, arrived at the street where the Gulpin were located.

Dr. Shiji drove a modified truck and parked behind them.

"Taillow, Solrock, Torkoal, Combusken, come out and help."

Ash brought out the Pokémon with lower levels that he currently had on hand; this was a feast for grinding experience.

The others also brought out their Pokémon. To Ash’s surprise, Officer Jenny of this town was skilled with Grass-type Pokémon, releasing three Pokémon: Tangela, Big Flower, and Parasect.

Ash said, "Taillow, Wing Attack; Solrock, Telekinesis; Torkoal and Combusken, Flamethrower."

Facing the attacks from the many Pokémon, the Gulpin did not stop their advance.

Dr. Shiji, sitting in the truck, saw that the Gulpin had no intention of retreating and pressed a switch, causing a cannon to suddenly extend from the roof of the truck...

The next second, two special devices on the side of the truck fired two beams of purple light at the Gulpin.

The Gulpin hit by the purple light disappeared in less than three seconds. Immediately after, the cannon on the truck’s roof aimed at a forest outside the town and launched the disappeared Gulpin as ammunition.

After several repeated operations by Shiji, the number of Gulpin was greatly reduced.

The Team Rocket Trio, still in the sewers, saw the Gulpin climbing up and quickly followed.

Meowth had just climbed out of the sewer, only to see a single Gulpin, and he also saw a cannon aimed directly at him.

Meowth raised his hands high, "I... I surrender, Meowth!"

The next second, a beam of purple light shot over, absorbing Meowth and the remaining Gulpin into the device.

"Meowth?!"

"Hey, Ash, what did you do to Meowth?"

Witnessing Meowth being taken away by a beam of light, Jessie and James immediately panicked.

However, Shiji, who was operating the device inside the truck, suddenly noticed an anomaly in the device, and then the device exploded.

When the smoke cleared, two purple orbs of light were strangely flying in mid-air.

"That is... Gulpin and Meowth?!" Ash said in surprise.

The orbs of light flew to a height of over ten meters and gradually returned to the appearance of Meowth and Gulpin, but at this moment, they looked as if they had Gigantamaxed, with their sizes reaching forty to fifty meters.

Looking at the high-rise buildings that were shorter than him, Meowth was puzzled, "Meowth?"

Through the glass of a nearby building, Meowth saw his own reflection and instantly panicked, shouting, "Jessie, James, hurry and find a way to change me back, Meowth!"

James said in surprise, "What is going on? How did this guy Meowth get so big?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

"Hey, old man, what exactly did you do to Meowth and the others?"

Jessie cast her gaze toward Dr. Shiji.

"This must be the energy emitted by the Gulpin reacting with the machine components, causing them to grow giant. I think as long as we release the energy inside them, they will return to normal," Shiji speculated.

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant Gulpin continued to crawl toward the city center.

Ash and the others knew clearly that once this Gulpin reached the city center, the city’s food reserves would be eaten up within half an hour.

Seeing that Ash and the others’ attention was on the Gulpin, James suddenly had an idea. He pulled on Jessie and whispered, "Hey, Jessie, Meowth getting this big is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Jessie understood James’s meaning instantly, "That’s right, this is indeed a good opportunity, ahahaha..."

"Hey, Meowth, the action plan has changed! Hurry and steal the Ash’s Pokémon now!" James shouted loudly.

"The Ash?"

Meowth finally reacted.

Ash, however, had long been prepared for this. Just then, Goh Marshadow suddenly appeared in front of Meowth.

Soul-Stealing Seven-Star Kick activated.

Meowth only saw seven incoming energy projectiles, then his eyes went black. The cat was like a deflating balloon, its size rapidly shrinking until it returned to its original size.

After kicking the air out of Meowth, Goh did not leave; instead, he unleashed Shadow Punch to send the Team Rocket Trio flying.

"We’re blasting off again!"

The Team Rocket Trio, turning into shooting stars, were on the verge of tears. Being hungry all day was one thing, but getting blasted off twice was another. If they had known they would be this unlucky, they shouldn’t have messed with that damn device during the day.

Meanwhile.

Ash and the others took a shortcut and appeared in front of the Gulpin again.

Looking at the massive Gulpin, Ash didn’t hold back anymore. He immediately had Pikachu use Thunder at full power, then had Jirachi follow up with a Psychic, and he finished it off using a Heavy Ball.

Seeing that the Gulpin had been caught, Shiji let out a long sigh of relief and said solemnly to Ash, "Ash, thank you! Otherwise, I would have become an accomplice to the destruction of the city."

"Dr. Shiji, you’re exaggerating. I just got lucky," Ash waved his hand.

However, he didn’t intend to keep this large Gulpin by his side. After setting the transfer destination for the Poké Ball, he directly triggered the forced transfer function built into the ball to send it away.

"Ash, where did you send the Gulpin?" May asked in Telekinesis.

Ash chuckled and said, "Professor Oaks Laboratory. That Gulpin is quite special; it will probably take some time to consume the energy inside its body, and it’s too troublesome to keep it with me."

He believed Professor Oak would surely love this gift.

...

Early morning.

Professor Oaks Laboratory.

May’s brother, Max, looked at the Heavy Ball sitting on the transfer device and shouted toward the second floor of the laboratory, "Professor... Professor Oak, someone transferred a special Poké Ball back. You should come and take a look!"

Professor Oak asked, "Max, check the tag to see who sent it back."

"Let me see... Professor, the tag has Ash’s name on it!"

As soon as Max finished speaking, Professor Oak jogged down from upstairs.

Upon confirming that Ash had transferred a Pokémon back, his expression immediately became excited.

Anything that could be contained in a special Poké Ball must be a big surprise!

Under Max’s gaze, Professor Oak suddenly jogged upstairs, returned with a Poké Ball in hand, and then grabbed the Heavy Ball and ran toward the backyard.

Max followed in Telekinesis.

Arriving at the backyard, Professor Oak couldn’t wait to open the Heavy Ball.

The next second, a behemoth over forty meters tall appeared before the two of them.

"No... no way? Doesn’t the book say Gulpin are only 40 centimeters tall? How..."

Max looked terrified; he couldn’t believe his own eyes.

"Amazing, Ash has caught another good specimen!"

Looking at the Gulpin that resembled a small mountain, Professor Oak had no idea of the severity of the situation.

The Gulpin seemed to smell food; it crashed through the laboratory and opened its mouth to start devouring Professor Oak’s instant noodle stash.

"Ah, my noodles!"

With his emergency rations eaten up, Professor Oak finally came to his senses.
