Chapter 140 Kojiro, Musashi, and Meowth
"That voice is... Ash Ketchum! I never thought we'd be alive to see you again."
Musashi and Kojiro, dressed in simple, coarse clothes, ran over crying as soon as they saw Satoshi.
They poured out their tragic experiences to Xiaozhi.
It turns out that during the critical moment when the airship encountered an accident, their emergency rescue efforts still failed.
Finally, in the midst of the chaos, I accidentally pressed the pop-up button.
So they were ejected from the cockpit ahead of time and landed on this isolated island.
Tragically, there is no steel or modern facilities to be seen on the island, only wood and coarse cloth.
Moreover, there were no other islands around, and they had been trapped here for three days.
"There should be residents on this island, why don't you go and ask them for help?"
Ash was very puzzled. "With Team Rocket's abilities, they shouldn't have been stuck on this island for so long."
"It's all that Meow Meow's fault, that traitorous bastard!"
Kojiro and the others were furious whenever this matter was mentioned.
"If it weren't for Meow Meow's order to drive the man and woman off this island, we wouldn't be in such a sorry state."
After their explanation, Ash learned that the indigenous tribe on the island greatly revered Meowth.
There's even a legend that on the day of the full moon, a cat will land on the island; this is the cat god who brings good luck.
As long as the Meow Meow God uses the Treasure Gathering Technique, he can bless the happiness of all the people on the island.
The day their airship crashed and landed on this island happened to be the night of a full moon.
Meow Meow was thus taken away by the islanders as a Meow Meow God.
"But Meow Meow doesn't know the Treasure Gathering Technique, does it?"
Ash remembers that Meowth had exhausted all its potential in trying to learn human language, and now only knows one move: Crazy Scratching.
"Yeah, so it's not the Meow God at all! It's an imposter!"
Kojiro's expression right now could be described as gritting his teeth.
"Then, after enjoying being worshipped, Meow Meow became addicted."
"They were afraid we would find out its identity, so they issued the order to expel us."
Musashi and Kojiro have had a really tough time these past two or three days.
They not only had to evade searches by tribal members to avoid being thrown into the sea to be fed to the fish.
They also need to carefully collect supplies and find a way to escape the island normally.
If it weren't for Ash's arrival, they don't know how much longer they would have had to stay like this.
"I was wondering why you hadn't come to report to me for so long."
Ash hadn't summoned them for a long time so they could better infiltrate Team Rocket's territory, and this happened.
"We didn't want our boss, Ash, to be like this. It's so good to see you."
Suddenly, footsteps were heard. Kojiro and his friends quickly and skillfully found a clump of grass to hide in, and also pulled Satoshi and Misty along with them.
"Why did you drag Xiaoxia and me into this?"
"We're used to it." Musashi and the others scratched their heads sheepishly.
The footsteps grew closer, and they could hear the people talking. Ash and his friends immediately jumped up.
Two young men dressed in similar clothes to Kojiro and his companions arrived, chatting as they patrolled.
"Have you heard? The Meow God that the elder brought back a while ago doesn't know the Treasure Gathering Technique!"
The other person was taken aback by what his companion said.
"What?! Could that be a fake Meow God? Are we still supposed to follow its orders to catch people?"
"It should be true."
The well-informed young man waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that such words should not be spoken.
"Didn't the elder say that anyone who comes on a full moon night must be a true Cat God?"
"Over the years, it's the only meow that has truly come on a full moon night, and it can even speak human language. It just hasn't learned the Treasure Gathering Skill because its level isn't high enough."
"The elders have already arranged battles for Lord Meow Meow God at the arena to help it level up."
"The arena is full of powerful Pokémon, and they're all going to team up to fight Meowth?"
The young man was very excited upon hearing this.
"Then why are we still patrolling? Let's go see a play!"
As the two walked further away, Kojiro and the others finally peeked out.
Can Meowth defeat other Pokémon in the battle arena?
Xiaoxia could sense that Miaomiao was about to be in big trouble.
"Of course not, its combat strength is obviously weak!" Musashi said decisively.
"Then the cat is doomed! Haha, it deserves it!"
But after laughing for a while, Kojiro fell silent again.
"Musashi, let's go see what happens to Meowth."
"What are you talking about? Have you forgotten how that bastard Meow Meow treated us?"
"After all, we've been partners for so long—"
Musashi also fell silent.
Ash simply watched silently; it was a matter between the trio, and he didn't intend to interfere.
For Ash's plan, having only Jessie and Kojiro would actually be fine.
So he simply left Kojiro and the others with the message, "I'll be on this beach until nightfall. If you want to leave, come find me here."
He left after saying his piece of advice.
In the end, Kojiro and Musashi asked Ash for a little time and secretly went to the arena.
As expected, Meow Meow got beaten up badly here, with absolutely no chance to fight back.
Those Tauros and Nidoking really beat it to a pulp.
His face was so bruised and swollen that he was almost unconscious.
At first, Musashi and Kojiro were just watching the show.
Disguised as members of a local tribe, they watched from the stands as the cat was beaten, and even cheered along with the people around them.
But later they started to feel sorry for them.
He sneaked up to the dueling arena and threw his treasured coins and bottle caps into the arena.
"Musashi, I didn't expect you to have so many coins." Kojiro's bag was full of his own bottle caps.
"Girls should have their own savings. Even though their salary is used to pay off debts and for food, there's still some left over."
Musashi looked at the remaining coins in the bag with a pained expression.
"Now they're all going to be thrown out."
They did this to pretend that Meow Meow had learned the Treasure Gathering Skill, and that all the money was summoned by it using its skill.
The scheme was quite successful; the tribal people present saw a huge pile of money fly towards Miaomiao from who-knows-where.
I really thought Meow Meow had used the Treasure Gathering Technique.
Let's all kneel down and shout in worship to the cats in the arena.
"Long live the Meow God!"
At first, Meow Meow really thought she had mastered the Treasure Gathering Technique, and she was quite proud of herself.
I dream of continuing to enjoy life on this island.
But when it saw that there were a few bottle caps mixed in with the loose change on the ground, it instantly understood.
"Meow, isn't this Kojiro's most treasured bottle cap?"
"Could it be money that Musashi and Kojiro threw in?"
In an instant, memories of the past and Musashi and the others flooded into Meow Meow's mind.
Meow Meow burst into tears and rushed out of the dueling arena, wanting to find Kojiro and the others.
Unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere.
"Are you really not taking the cat with you?"
On the way back, Kojiro was still hesitating when he asked Musashi.
"Letting Meow Meow stay on this island and be loved by everyone is probably the happiest thing for him."
"That's true!"
But when Musashi and Kojiro returned to the beach, intending to leave the island with Ash...
A sound suddenly came from the woods—a meowing call.
"Wait for me, wait for me, meow!" It came running over, covered in mud and stumbling along.
It seems they tracked Kojiro and the others here using their keen sense of smell.
"What, aren't you going to stay here as the Meow God?" Musashi's tone was still a bit cold.
"Meow, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, please forgive me."
Meow Meow cried as she recounted her past.
Meow Meow had a very tragic past; she was born without parents.
On the street, he was not only beaten by humans, but also bullied by his companions. Later, he tried his best to learn to speak human language for his first love, but his first love still went with a cat leader.
Even after joining the Rockets, they continued to fail, and the pet position was even taken by a cat boss.
Having finally arrived here, we are now enjoying the offerings made by people.
This was a feeling that Meow Meow had never had before, so she became overjoyed and was afraid of losing these days.
But it has now repented and sincerely apologized to Kojiro and Musashi.
"Meow, I've figured it out now, I still want to be with Musashi and Kojiro!"
Actually, the trio all had pretty tragic pasts, but I won't go into detail about Meow Meow.
Musashi also lost her mother and family when she was a child. She even ate snow to fill her stomach when she was young.
Although Kojiro is a rich young master, he was forced to undergo high-pressure education from a young age and was constantly subjected to violence by his fiancée.
His parents completely ignored him, and his only friend was a Growlithe dog.
Even so, he was still disliked by his fiancée and almost abandoned. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Kojiro ran away from home.
Therefore, although the time the three of them spent together was somewhat tough, it was all happy memories.
So Kojiro and Musashi were only pretending to be indifferent on the surface.
After the cat kept apologizing, it was quickly forgiven.
The trio of idiots are officially back.
However, although Xiao Chenglong has been taking calcium supplements and has grown quite a bit in size, the space is still a bit crowded.
So Kojiro and his companions were rowing a small wooden boat, with Ryuji pulling them along in the back.
"Speaking of which, boss, what did you want to see us about?"
"Oh, right, I have a task for you."
Two days later, Ash received news that James and the others had completed their mission.
They actually blew up the museum and proudly announced that the Rockets had stolen the artifact, using a replica of the championship trophy.
This immediately drew away all the nearby police forces.
If Boss Sakaki saw this news, he would be very surprised.
Ash could only sigh, "They might run into problems doing other things, but the three idiots who attract hatred are just too good at it."
That evening, Ash went to inform Gastly and the others that they could leave.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the side quest "Only a Demon Would Steal": Please help Gastly and Haunter escape the Orange League's pursuit]
[Rewards: 2000 League Coins; 5 Free Attribute Points; 1 Battle Ticket for a Ghost-type Pokémon with whom you have a synergy]
The ghost ship appeared beside the dragon and sailed with it for a while.
Finally, Gastly and Haunter reappeared to thank Ash, then piloted the ghost ship to an unknown distance.
Looking at the place where they left, Ash is now looking forward to seeing what kind of partners will appear in the next battle ticket.
