Chapter 288 Of course, the Spirit Pearl is the perfect match for the Demon Orb!
Soon, Mother Lugia burst out of the ruins again, roaring and flapping her large wings.
The surrounding moisture quickly condensed into a large vortex in its hand, enveloping Little Black and making it dizzy.
"Little Black, break free! Use Thunder!" Ash gave Lugia's mother a meaningful look.
There's no time to delve into other people's family matters right now; getting them out of there is the most important thing.
With a flap of its wings, Little Black struggled to take off amidst the swirling tide.
Unfortunately, the water that entangled it could not be shaken off, and it would launch a water binding attack from time to time, which was very wading bird-like—no, very annoying.
However, it did not affect the operation. Xiao Hei used all his energy to draw down a giant lightning bolt from the sky.
At this moment, the weather is stormy with thunder and lightning, and using lightning strikes at this time will guarantee a 100% hit.
The thick bolt of lightning struck Lugia's mother firmly.
The dark vortex from before and the thunderbolt this time were both highly effective attacks against Lugia, whose attributes are Psychic and Flight.
Even if Lugia's mother has the same Multiscale ability as Whitebeard, this attack should still have dealt it enough damage.
But after the lightning dissipated, Lugia's mother shook off the remaining electricity on her body and immediately retaliated with a cyclone attack towards Black's location.
After enduring a Dark Cyclone and a Thunderbolt, Lugia's mother seemed completely unharmed, making Blackie a little insecure about himself.
"Wow, Lugia is actually this tough?" Ash was a little surprised.
Because the Sea God and Little Black are special individuals within Lugia, they cannot be viewed using common sense.
The battle against Lugia's mother was Ash's first battle against a normal Lugia.
Suddenly, Lugia's mother roared, and her body began to flash with tiny green lights.
This move is self-regeneration; all the damage that Little Black painstakingly inflicted was instantly restored by it.
Then Lugia immediately used her primal power on Blackie, conjuring several giant rocks in front of it and smashing them down on Blackie.
"Lugia is really good at fighting a war of attrition. We can't dawdle any longer."
While Ash, along with the other freed citizens and Officer Jenny, tied up Team Rocket, Ash quickly had Blackie fire another Dark Cyclone at the control device around Lugia's neck.
"Little Black, fire at the location where the device is emitting red light!"
At this moment, Xiao Hei exuded its unique dark aura. This aura could not only deplete the opponent's stamina over time, but also slightly confuse the opponent's vision.
Taking advantage of the moment when Lugia's mother was shrouded in black mist, Little Black's Dark Cyclone was accurately launched, hitting the device on Lugia's mother's neck.
The device exploded instantly.
But after the smoke cleared, the pain on Lugia's mother's face only lessened slightly; she was still in a frenzied state.
It was even more severe than before, relentlessly launching cyclone attacks in all directions.
"What's going on?" Xiaozhi lifted Kosaburo's head off and asked him fiercely.
"This—it's probably because the device has been controlling Lugia for too long, so it can't get out of this state for the time being."
"It could also be a backup plan left by Dr. Mambo—" This thought flashed through his mind, but Kosaburo would not say it out loud.
"It seems that defeating Lugia's mother is still the only option."
Regardless of whether what Kosaburo said was true or not, Ash rewarded him with two big bumps on his head and then promptly threw Pikachu away.
"Pikachu, here comes Thunderbolt!"
"Little Black, Dark Cyclone!"
Even if Lugia's mother is incredibly strong and has amazing regenerative abilities, she is not a god and doesn't have truly inexhaustible stamina.
Then Ash will be subjected to a righteous gang-up.
But just before Pikachu and the others could attack, Lugia's mother suddenly flapped her wings, creating a violent gust of wind.
Blackie and Pikachu were instantly slapped back into Ash's Poké Ball, while Gardevoir and Latias were also swapped out.
"This move blows Pikachu away." Ash quickly released Pikachu and Blackie back out.
However, this seems to be the first time Pikachu has returned to its Poké Ball since it started following Ash.
Ash watched as Lugia's mother flew straight towards the distant sea through the sand and stones whipped up by the strong wind.
At this point, Ash had already guessed that the mad scientist must have done something to Lugia's mother.
As soon as the control device on Lugia is destroyed, it will fly back to Nanbo's side immediately.
"What a despicable guy."
However, that would mean that Lugia's mother went back to Team Rocket's base.
That would be perfect for catching that damned professor and taking them all down with him. Ash grabbed his two old buddies from beneath him...
"You two must remember where Team Rocket's base is, right?" Ash said with a grin, but the pebbles beneath his feet were slowly turning into powder.
When Yamado and the others saw what had happened to the stone, they all gasped in shock.
"We are the elite captains of Team Rocket—we will never be threatened by you!"
"No—that's right, we could never betray our boss!"
At this moment, Yamato and Kosaburo unexpectedly showed a look of unyielding defiance, but knowing these two as Satoshi did, how could they possibly be so spineless?
Sure enough, when Ash's eyes flashed with a fierce light, they immediately spoke up again.
"We absolutely will not tell you. The submarine we came in was on the beach not far ahead."
"Besides, submarines have an automatic return-to-base function. Do you think we'd tell you something like that?"
"We swear to the Rockets, to our leader, and we will never betray him!"
The two spoke with great righteousness, and Xiao Zhi was quite satisfied as he left them behind.
Sakaki is truly lucky to have such subordinates.
The Team Rocket members around them were dumbfounded. No wonder Yamato and his companion became elite officers; they were so loyal.
Leave the rest of Team Rocket to Officer Jenny and the others to deal with.
Ash and his friends quickly ran to the beach and found the submarine left behind by Team Rocket.
Thanks to the fact that the War God cannot die from bare hands, Ash modified the submarine's program and immediately activated the automatic return function.
They followed Lugia's mother to Team Rocket's underwater base.
At this moment, Dr. Nanbo was furious as he watched Lugia rush back into the base.
His greatest masterpiece and greatest invention, the first Nanpo Nanpo No. 5 assembled by Dr. Nanpo himself, was destroyed by Ash.
Fortunately, he left a final program in the device, which prevented him from losing Lugia as well.
While Lugia's mother was still asleep, he quickly ordered his men to put her in a specially made cage.
"Hmph, once I've mastered the Infinite Energy, I'll make that brat pay!"
Dr. Nanbo now needs to hurry up and process the data that has been sent back so that he can complete the experiment as soon as possible.
As for the Team Rocket members who were captured, that's not something he should worry about; Giovanni will find a way to get them out of there.
Just then, Nanbo suddenly saw the news on the screen that Kosaburo and the others had returned.
"Strange, weren't they captured? How did the submarine return?"
The Team Rocket member in charge of guarding the gate habitually pressed the pass button, and Dr. Nanbo's clever, hairless brain instantly reacted.
"Idiot, those are enemies inside! Quickly close the entrance manually!"
But it was too late; the submarine had already passed through the outermost gate.
Ash jumped out of the submarine and manually pried open the iron gate behind Team Rocket's base.
Ash quickly used his Aura to sense Lugia's mother's location, and then kicked away one by one the several gates that had been sealed off on the way to Professor Nanbo's laboratory.
"This is a specially made metal iron gate—"
Dr. Nanbo watched as Ash made his way unimpeded toward the lab on the monitor, easily overcoming all obstacles and weapons along the way, and a sense of foreboding washed over him.
"What monster have we messed with this time?!"
At this moment, Team Rocket's base was in complete chaos due to Ash's forced intrusion.
Those combat-capable members were all wiped out because they were sent out on missions.
Most of the people in the base are clerical workers. They only earn so little each month, why risk their lives? With such a terrifying enemy attacking, of course they should run away as fast as possible.
But Dr. Nanbo can't escape. He now has his most valuable experimental data in the lab, as well as a rare adult Lugia that he managed to capture.
With the hope of realizing his dream within reach, he absolutely could not give up.
Nanbo made a snap decision and prepared to begin the final experiment, releasing his own Pokémon Electabuzz to stop Ash.
Just then, Ash finally kicked open the laboratory door, and as soon as he entered, he was met with Electabuzz's Thunder Punch.
"Not bad." Ash raised his hand to block, and the power of this move made him feel a slight numbness on his skin.
This Electabuzz is very well trained.
Hearing the enemy's praise, Nanbo couldn't hide his pride; Electabuzz was his favorite Pokémon.
"Of course, my Electabuzz is equipped with the best enhancement devices."
"Nanpo Nanpo No. 5 is right. Only anger can maximize the power of Pokémon!"
'
Dr. Nanbo, whose expression had become somewhat manic, immediately tried to run to pull the switch that would activate the final experiment.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
"Pikachu!"
The powerful electric current passed directly through the Electabuzz that was blocking Nanbo's way and struck him.
"Ouch. I'm numb, I'm numb, I'm numb—" Dr. Nanbo suddenly fell into a state of complete paralysis, lying on the ground and twitching uncontrollably.
Ash ripped the Rage Boost device off Electabuzz's head, knocked it unconscious with a punch, and walked up to Professor Nanpo.
He looked at the other person indifferently and shook his head.
"Becoming stronger through anger—what a boring idea."
"Electabuzz was fighting so hard because it didn't want to disappoint you." Ash crushed the device in one go.
This rage device can indeed enhance the power of Pokémon moves to some extent, but that slight improvement is completely insignificant to Ash.
They can only bully the residents of Silver Rock Island who are not good at Pokémon battles.
In Ash's mind, the bond with his Pokémon and the hard work of training are the best ways to improve his strength.
Arriving at Nanbo's computer, Ash quickly untied the restraints on Lugia's mother in the cage.
At the same time, they released Black to prevent Lugia from going berserk, since Misty and Serena were still searching the base for any other Pokémon that Team Rocket had stolen.
At that moment, Lugia slowly opened its eyes, its gaze still slightly bloodshot.
Upon seeing Dr. Nanbo lying on the ground, he immediately forced himself to lift his head, the last trace of clarity in his eyes seeming about to vanish.
"Calm down, Lugia, Nanbo has been defeated."
But the out-of-control Lugia mother seemed unable to hear, and began to gather energy in her mouth to launch a cyclone attack in all directions.
Ash had no choice but to prepare to order Blackie to knock it out again, but at that moment Whiteie ran out of the Poké Ball.
"Blackie, stop!" Ash quickly told his Pokémon to stop attacking, hoping a miracle might happen.
Little Lugia cried when she saw her mother's appearance, and perhaps hearing her child's voice, Lugia's mother calmed down.
The cyclone attacked, and Little White's cry pulled it out of its anger. Lugia's mother's eyes also regained their clarity and she actually began to respond to Little White.
The happy little white dog quickly went forward and hugged its mother.
It was such a heartwarming reunion between mother and child. Ash was deeply moved when he was doing the Tortoise Shell Binding for Professor Nanpo.
Just then, Lugia's mother suddenly noticed Little Black beside her, and quickly looked down at Little White in her arms, then at Little Black.
His eyes darted back and forth between the two Pokémon, his expression one of disbelief.
Then it suddenly spread its large wings and embraced Little Black as well.
"Huh?" (What's this strange auntie doing?)
Xiao Hei looked bewildered; this tender moment made it very uncomfortable.
"Luggia, I'm sorry to bother you, but we have to leave now."
Nanbo had just concentrated all the base's power into the lab in an attempt to force the experiment to begin, but Ash stopped him before it even started.
A massive amount of electricity is now concentrated in the laboratory, and it's about to explode.
With Nanpo and Electabuzz in tow, Ash and Misty reunited and crammed all the Pokémon that Team Rocket had stolen from the base into the submarine.
With Lugia and Blackie leading the way, they left Team Rocket's underwater base before the explosion.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the new side quest "Rescue the Fair-Skinned Housewife": Hurry up and rescue the poor housewife who is trapped in mind control! (Seriously!)]

On the beach at sunset, Misty and her friends took the Pokémon to town to hand them over to Officer Jenny, while Ash prepared to say goodbye to Lugia and her son.
However, Lugia's mother was still holding onto Little Black and wouldn't let go, which made Little Black very uncomfortable.
No matter how much it protested, it was no use; it could only look at Ash with pleading eyes.
"Whatever the problem, let Lugia's mother hold you a little longer. After all, she is your biological mother."
"Huh!" Little Black was shocked. So it had a mother too?
Even Shiro, who heard Ash's words, was incredulous. After thinking for a while, Shiro also jumped into Blackie's arms and hugged him.
After a long while, Lugia's mother put down Black and White and came to Ash, hugging him as well.
A glint flashed in its eyes, and Dr. Nanbo on the ground suddenly looked up and opened his mouth.
"Young man, thank you so much for saving me and for taking care of my children during this time."
"You're welcome. I'm happy to live with Blackie and Whitey."
Once she regained her senses, Lugia's mother moved with unusual gentleness, but Ash was a little uncomfortable with her habit of hugging people.
"Little Black and Little White — that's also a fitting description."
Lugia's mother glanced at the black cat beside her, who was now clinging to her and looking disgusted with the white cat. She smiled.
"Little Black—was that guy the one who gave him to you?"
From these words, Little Intelligence realized that Lugia's mother was probably referring to the God of the Sea. He immediately nodded and took out the Silver Feather that the God of the Sea had given him before.
"It was the owner of this feather who entrusted Xiao Hei to my care."
Upon seeing the silver feather, Lugia's mother was basically certain.
"Young man, I also want to ask you a favor. Could you please help take care of Xiaobai?"
Ash was taken aback when he heard this request, and Lugia's mother continued.
"This time, being surrounded by the Rockets almost put Xiaobai in danger, and I was also captured by them."
"I won't hold a grudge against humans for this, but I might not be able to protect my child on my own." Lugia's mother was also quite reluctant to part with Snowball.
But this crisis made it realize that perhaps entrusting Shiro to Ash's care would be a more suitable choice.
After all, it was that guy who chose to trust him.
Xiao Zhi naturally had no reason to refuse and immediately nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Lugia's mother's expression suddenly turned resentful again.
"Ugh, it's all that damned heartless man's fault—if it weren't for him back then—"
"Hey, stop, stop! Let's ask Shiro's opinion too," Ash quickly interrupted.
He had no desire to hear gossip about the Sea God's family, especially when it was Lugia's mother telling a grumbling story in Dr. Nambo's strained voice.
They quickly called Xiaobai over and told it what had happened. Xiaobai glanced at its mother reluctantly, but finally nodded firmly.
It thought that if it left its mother's wings and traveled with Ash, perhaps it could become as strong as Black.
This time, with Mom in crisis, it could only watch helplessly, completely useless.
This made Xiaobai very sad, and he made up his mind that he had to become stronger as soon as possible.
Hearing White express her determination, Lugia's mother was deeply moved and hugged White, Black, and Ash again.
Xiao Hei: "Huh?" (Why are you hugging me again?)
Struggling~
Soon after, Mama Lugia left Ash a silver feather as well, and then reluctantly bid farewell to her children.
Ash officially caught Snowball and even replaced its Poké Ball with a Luxury Ball.
If you hang out with Ash for three days, you can eat ten meals a day. Anyway, Ash will never skimp on his Pokémon's material needs.
Unlike the mischievous Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai is a well-behaved and good child.
Before scoring, it politely gestured to Xiao Zhi, asking for his help.
