"What? I absolutely won't let you succeed," Kasumi said, sounding annoyed. Stealing other people's Pokémon was the most infuriating thing.
"Little girl, what can you do by yourself?" Hearing Kasumi's words, Musashi and Kojiro paid her no mind at all.
"Nurse Joy, have my Pokémon recovered?" Satoshi looked at Nurse Joy and asked.
"They've recovered their spirits, but they're still inside!"
"Hmph! This Pokémon Center must have many Pokémon. Don't get in our way. Go, Arbok!"
"Koffing, use Smokescreen!!"
Musashi and Kojiro had already launched their offensive. Koffing immediately released a thick smoke, while Arbok, using the smokescreen for cover, charged directly towards Satoshi and his two companions.
"Look out!" Satoshi saw this and pushed Kasumi and Nurse Joy. Arbok directly crashed into the front desk, smashing the entire table and then biting into the wires beneath it.
"Nurse Joy, take us to retrieve our Pokémon," Satoshi said to Nurse Joy.
"Okay!" Nurse Joy didn't know what to do now. After all, she was just a doctor and not skilled in battle. Seeing that Satoshi and Kasumi were trainers, she could only rely on them now.
Nurse Joy swiftly led Satoshi and Kasumi through the passage. Musashi and Kojiro also knew that to find the Pokémon here, they had to follow Nurse Joy, and immediately ordered Arbok and Koffing to follow them in.
Soon, Nurse Joy led Satoshi to the medical room in the back, where many Poké Balls were placed, and Pikachu was among them.
"Pika!!" Seeing Satoshi, Pikachu excitedly jumped down from the table.
"Pikachu, time to battle." Looking at Pikachu, who stood before him, Satoshi's expression immediately turned serious.
Seeing Satoshi's expression, Pikachu also immediately understood and ran to the direction Satoshi was coming from, getting ready for battle.
Only Pikachu could be used right now. Magikarp's battle power wasn't enough, let alone now, and there was no water here even if Magikarp could battle.
Crash!!!
Just then, the room suddenly darkened, and the lights went out.
"Ah! What happened?" Kasumi looked at this scene, a little panicked.
"The wiring must have been damaged. It's alright, I have a backup generator!" Nurse Joy didn't worry. Every Pokémon Center had backup generators to deal with emergencies.
Otherwise, it would be dangerous if the power went out while treating seriously injured Pokémon. The medical room's generator immediately started. A group of Pikachu stood on a conveyor belt on the generator, as if on a treadmill.
They formed a circle, simultaneously releasing electricity to generate power upwards, directly transmitting electricity to the entire center. Soon, the room lit up again.
"I need to transfer the Poké Balls to other cities. Can you buy me some time?"
Although Satoshi and Kasumi were there, Nurse Joy was still a little worried. To be safe, it was better to transfer the Poké Balls first.
Bang!!!!
At that moment, from the doorway, smoke seeped through a crack. Then, with a loud crash, Koffing, emitting smoke, slammed its way in, completely shattering the entire door.
"Pikachu, Quick Attack!!"
Satoshi wasted no time upon seeing Koffing. The moment he saw Koffing, he immediately launched a preemptive attack.
"Pika Pika! Pika!!"
Thump!!
Pikachu charged forward, a silver flash appearing on its body, its speed soaring. With lightning-fast speed that Koffing couldn't react to, Pikachu directly hit Koffing head-on.
Koffing, having just entered the medical room, was immediately sent flying out. Satoshi also followed him out, with Kasumi close behind.
Musashi and Kojiro, who were just rushing into the medical room, saw something fly out of the smoke. Both instinctively dodged.
Koffing directly crashed into the wall behind them. Then, Pikachu and Satoshi emerged from the smoke.
"I'll be your opponent!" Satoshi looked at the two in front of him, smiling faintly and provocatively.
"You brat, how dare you ruin our fun." Musashi and Kojiro were so angered their noses were crooked. The other ordinary trainers outside had long since fled, but they didn't expect this brat to actually dare to stop them.
"The Poké Balls are all inside. If you want them, you'll have to defeat me first," Satoshi said to the two in front of him with full confidence.
"Satoshi, I'll help you!" At this moment, Kasumi also came to Satoshi's side and took out her Poké Ball. She had already found her own Poké Ball.
"No need, you go help Nurse Joy!"
"But..."
"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Satoshi looked at Kasumi, his eyes filled with firm resolve.
Seeing Satoshi's confident appearance, Kasumi paused slightly. Although she was still a little worried, watching Satoshi's confident demeanor, her worries gradually disappeared.
"I understand. Be careful yourself."
"Arrogant brat, how dare you look down on us! Arbok, teach him a lesson! Use Bite!" Musashi, fiery-tempered, felt insulted that Satoshi refused Kasumi's help and planned to face both of them alone. She immediately gave the command.
Arbok lunged towards Pikachu, opening its blood-red maw. The sharp teeth in its mouth glowed silver as it pounced and bit.
"Pikachu, Quick Attack!" Satoshi calmly commanded.
With a command, Pikachu charged forward. Unlike the instantaneous burst attack of Quick Attack, Agility had no offensive power but could instantly increase Pikachu's speed.
Running forward along the passage, Pikachu's figure darted left and right, moving incredibly fast, making it impossible for Arbok to discern which direction Pikachu would attack from.
Pikachu rushed to Arbok's front, then leaped high, jumping over Arbok's head and landing behind it.
