"You're so lucky. You've already formed a bond with Lugia at such a young age." Gary was a little envious of Oliver's opportunity after hearing Gengar's report.
Calculating his age, Oliver will still be less then 10 years, and little Lugia hasn't grown up at all.
Legendary Pokémon grow very fast, and a few years is enough to grow to the Elite level.
If Oliver goes out to travel in the future, if he encounters that little Lugia, there is a high probability that it will become Oliver's Pokémon in the future.
There is no way; some people start as the child of destiny.
Oliver is still lucky.
"Since little Lugia has appeared, Lugia should also be in the nearby sea area, and Team Rocket should also be nearby."
Gary decided to explore this area of the sea and let Blastoise take a look at the nearby sea area.
This time, the Rockets captured Lugia, and the team they dispatched was not small. It can be said that it was a member of a base, plus Dr. Namba and two elite Rockets members, along with various high-tech weapons, which was a considerable force.
Although the Lugia that appeared here was not very strong, it was not weak either.
Of course, the main reason for being caught by the Rockets was that its child was captured by the other party, so it was tricked.
This Lugia easily destroyed the Rockets' Underwater Base. With this combat power, its strength is definitely above the Elite level; otherwise, such a large base would not be so easily destroyed.
Gary initially searched for the Rocket Hideout in the sea area around Oliver's house but found nothing.
Gary thought about it and chose to search in the sea area closest to Kasado City.
It didn't take much effort to find the Rockets' Underwater Base in the deep sea area ten kilometers away.
The Rocket Team's Underwater Base is huge and can accommodate 20 to 30 people.
No matter how developed the Underwater Base is, since there are people and Pokémon inside, it must be supplied.
Therefore, it is definitely not possible to be too far away from the city.
Supplies must be replenished regularly every period of time.
Gary had also prepared the Underwater Tracker long ago.
He asked Gengar to sneak into the Rocket Hideout and fix the tracker on the ventilation duct. Next, just wait slowly.
Three days later.
Gary has been staring at the electronic map in his hand.
There is a green light dot flashing on it, representing the location of the Rocket Team's Underwater Base.
At this time, the green light dot keeps flashing, and the location is also moving a little bit.
The moving direction is also close to the sea near Oliver's home.
"Are we going to take action?"
It didn't take long, about an hour, when the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. It felt like the time in the Orange Islands, but the dark clouds only lasted for less than a few minutes before dispersing.
This meant that the adult Lugia had appeared in front of Ash and his group, and the misunderstanding was resolved.
"This Lugia is really terrifying. It easily changed the weather. Its strength must be strong." Gary was a little nervous. After all, it was still risky to subdue Lugia's child this time.
"Blastoise, come out." Gary was a little worried and let Blastoise out.
"Blastoisee?"
Blastoise thought he was about to start the action, but when he saw that he was in the room, he wondered why Gary let him out.
"I'll give you a boost." Gary put his hand on Blastoise's shell and used 6 high-level Rare Candies.
Blastoise LV64-70!
Blastoise's level went straight up to level 70, breaking through the Elite level and reaching the Champion level.
Then, Gary released Zapdos and used 4 high-level Rare Candies to raise its level to level 70.
With two Champion-level Pokémon around, Gary felt safer. Blastoise could defend, and Zapdos could attack.
Even if he couldn't beat Lugia, a few fights wouldn't be a big problem...
Gary wasn't sure when Ash and the others would take action. In order not to be delayed, after boosting the strength of Blastoise and Zapdos, Gary went out and took the sea route directly, riding Blastoise to the sea where the Rocket Team's Underwater Base was located.
In this sea area, Gary quickly found a ship, which was patrolling nearby.
Before Gary could get close, the ship approached on its own initiative. A bald child poked his head out from the railing of the ship and asked hurriedly: "Big brother, have you seen a big round machine passing by here?"
Gary was slightly stunned when he saw the bald child. This person was Oliver.
Oliver looked for the round machine again, which should be the Rocket Team's Underwater Base, which means that the Rocket Team has successfully captured two Lugia, including Ash and Ritchie.
"What? Are you the only one on the boat?" Gary asked.
"Who are you?"
As soon as Gary finished asking, a red-haired woman came to the fence. The woman's name was Luka, and she was the client who commissioned Ash and his team to investigate the silver feather.
"My name is Gary, and I'm a Trainer from Pallet Town." Gary introduced himself.
"Pallet Town!" Oliver said in surprise: "So, you and Ash are from the same place."
"Huh? Do you know Ash?" Gary asked knowingly.
"Yeah... woooo...!" Oliver wanted to say something, but Luka covered his mouth and reminded him: "Don't talk, I'll ask." Seeing Luka say that, Oliver also calmed down.
"Gary, you said you know Ash, what does he look like?" Luka asked.
"Ash is about my age, and there is a Pikachu next to him. That Pikachu doesn't like to stay in the Poké Ball. There is also a man and a woman next to him, named Brock and Misty." Gary said.
Hearing Gary's detailed words, Luka immediately believed that Gary knew Ash and apologized: "I'm sorry, something happened here, so I questioned your identity."
"What happened?" Gary asked.
