On the other side, Officer Jenny sighed.
"Now that the treasure map has been obtained by Team Rockets, we can only try our best to seal off all exits of Pewter City, as well as the sky, to prevent them from leaving."
"I hope the treasure map can be recovered, otherwise the Kanto region will fall into a great disaster," Nurse Joy echoed, then left with Chansey.
After Nurse Joy left, Jenny looked at Brock.
"Let's go, Brock, we should also guard our posts."
Jiang Fan walked up at this moment.
"Officer Jenny, can I go with you? I also want to contribute my humble strength."
Jenny sized up Jiang Fan, and the Charmeleon at his feet.
Just as she was about to speak, Brock spoke first.
"No need, this matter can be handled by me, Brock, the Gym Leader of Pewter City, and Officer Jenny. Team Rockets is not an easy opponent to deal with. If you get involved, you are very likely to get hurt, which will increase our work difficulties. I hope you can understand," Brock said firmly.
Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow.
He felt that this guy wasn't afraid that Team Rockets would hurt him, but rather that he would disturb his time alone with Jenny.
At this moment, Officer Jenny echoed Brock's words: "No need, sir. Team Rockets is a very dangerous organization. Please leave the work of dealing with them to us professionals."
With that, Jenny left with Brock.
Jiang Fan watched their departing backs, lost in thought.
Then, Charmeleon's Growl came from behind him.
He looked back and saw Charmeleon pointing at Munchlax's original spot.
"Huh! Where's Munchlax?"
.....
"Ka~" -- Finish eating these, then take the boss to Jiang Fan to settle the bill.
Inside the cargo compartment of a truck.
Munchlax looked at the full truck of Berries with a happy and excited expression.
Then, it picked up a Berry and threw it into its mouth.
"Ka~" -- Delicious, love it.
Munchlax began its binge-eating mode.
One small Berry after another, and finally, not satisfied, it directly picked up a box of Berries and poured them into its mouth.
It wasn't until only the last six boxes of Berries were left in the entire compartment that its eyes suddenly widened, and it stopped.
Then it opened its mouth and took out a piece of cloth from inside.
Some patterns were drawn on it.
"Ka~" -- What is this thing?
Munchlax looked at this thing with a confused expression.
It observed it for three seconds, and after three seconds, it directly stuffed it into its body fur.
"Ka~" -- Who cares, I'll keep it as an item and let Jiang Fan pay for me later.
Munchlax's eyes curved, and it continued to eat happily.
Not long after, the last six boxes were also eaten.
Munchlax, full, lay comfortably in the compartment.
It was waiting for the boss to discover that its things had been eaten, and then take the boss to Jiang Fan to demand payment.
Soon, Munchlax's snores echoed in the compartment.
Time passed little by little.
Conversations came from outside the compartment.
"Hahaha, Senior Lia, thanks to my resourcefulness, I hid the map in the Berries, which allowed us to escape the Arcanine's inspection and safely bring the map out."
"Very good, very good. I will truthfully report your credit to Boss Sakaki."
A moment later, the conversation abruptly stopped.
The two people in Team Rockets uniforms outside the compartment were stunned when they saw the empty compartment with only a Munchlax lying inside.
One of them muttered somewhat distractedly:
"Don't tell me the Berries here, along with the map, were all eaten by this Munchlax."
"No wonder when we passed the inspection just now, the police officer reminded us to check the compartment. So that's what he meant. I was just focused on running away at the time."
"Senior Lia, what should we do now?"
The other person took a deep breath, then angrily said: "What else can we do? Of course, we have to find a way to get the map out of its stomach, even if it means cutting it open."
The roar woke Munchlax.
As soon as it opened its eyes, it saw two people in black uniforms looking at it furiously.
"Ka~"
It cried out, wanting to tell the two not to be angry, that it would find someone to pay them.
But then it saw one of them take out a Poké Ball and release a Golem.
The other person released an Electrode.
These two Pokémon stared at it menacingly.
"Ka~"
Munchlax cried out nervously, again telling them that it could find someone to pay.
But what it got was...
"Golem, Rock Throw!"
"Electrode, Swift!"
Facing this situation, Munchlax fearfully used Metronome.
When the shattered rocks and star-shaped light attacked it, its figure flickered.
In an instant, it was as fast as an afterimage, passing between Golem and Electrode.
It used the Extreme Speed skill.
Facing this scene, the Team Rockets executive's eyes widened.
They never expected that even when cornered in the compartment, this Munchlax could use Metronome and get Extreme Speed to escape.
"Chase it, don't let it get away," he said through gritted teeth.
He then chased after it with his Pokémon.
At the same time, he continuously commanded his Pokémon to release skills.
"Golem, Stomp!"
"Awooo~"
Golem forcefully stomped the ground.
The ground instantly vibrated violently.
The first to suffer was their own Electrode, which was injured by the vibration, and then it was Munchlax, which had just run out and finished its Extreme Speed state.
Not only was it injured, but it also fell to the ground.
"Run, why don't you keep running?" The Team Rockets executive chased after it with Golem.
Munchlax looked at the opponent fearfully and used Metronome again.
And this time, after using it, it did a carp jump on the ground.
It got Splash.
This directly made the Team Rockets executive, who had been furious just now, laugh.
He couldn't help but issue the final attack:
"Golem, Rock Blast! Take it away after you've crippled it."
"Awooo~"
Sharp rocks appeared behind Golem.
Munchlax fearfully got up and ran.
But the sharp and heavy rocks blocked its escape route ahead of it.
The remaining rocks shot towards it.
It was also at this moment that an intensely hot purple flame suddenly shot out from deep within the forest.
The flame not only repelled the sharp rocks.
It also sprayed onto Golem's body.
Golem immediately let out a painful cry.
Just one hit severely wounded it to the point of almost losing its combat ability.
"Who! Who is it!" The Team Rockets executive looked into the depths of the forest in horror.
He couldn't imagine that Golem, which had strong resistance to Fire-type moves, would be severely wounded by a Fire-type move.
But there was nothing in the forest, only a wave of Haze sweeping over.
The Team Rockets executive quickly released another Butterfree, telling it to use the Rising Wind skill to disperse the Haze.
But when the Haze dispersed, Munchlax was nowhere to be seen.
.....
"Ka~" -- Who are you?
In the forest, Munchlax looked at the Pokémon carrying it below with a bewildered expression.
This Pokémon was huge, brown all over, with a golden crown of three horns on its head.
It was moving through the forest at Extreme Speed, carrying it.
"Entei~" -- Little Fatty, I am Entei.
