Natsui walked into the warehouse and, behind several cargo boxes in the very back, saw Looker half-lying on the ground.
His appearance at that mont could only be described as tragic. Not only was he severely injured, but blood was still seeping from the bandaged wound on his abdon, staining his suit red.
Seeing the mask on Natsui's face, Looker was first startled, but after seeing Kirlia at his side, he quickly cald down. A faint smile finally appeared on his weak and haggard face.
"You… finally ca… cough, cough…"
Natsui quickly pulled out a Potion and sprayed it on his wounds.
As a competent trainer, he had long since packed his bag with various dicines, including Potions, Antidotes, Burn Heals, and Paralyze Heals, precisely for situations like this, so he wouldn't be helpless.
"How did you get so badly injured?"
Ignoring the blood on his hands, Natsui frowned and took out his own bandages to re-wrap Looker's abdon.
Even though it was his first ti seeing so much blood, at such a critical mont, he endured the pungent sll of blood and his own discomfort to patiently finish the bandaging.
"I was ambushed, caught completely off guard." Looker's lips were already pale. Enduring the pain, he sent out his two Pokémon. "These two are also injured. I'm counting on you!"
His Croagunk and Growlithe were also in terrible shape. Not only were they covered in wounds, but they were also both poisoned!
Taking out an Antidote, Natsui gently gave it to them. After bandaging their wounds as well, he returned them to their Poké Balls.
These dicines, while useful in an ergency, would require treatnt from a professional for a full recovery. Compared to being outside, their Poké Balls were not only safer but also allowed them to rest properly and prevent their injuries from worsening.
Taking out his water bottle, Natsui gave Looker a little water. Seeing his complexion improve slightly, Natsui asked, "Who on earth would attack so viciously? Team Rocket?"
"Who else could it be?" After receiving the dicine, Looker was already doing much better, at least no longer bleeding. "But unlike the regular grunts, the ones who attacked this ti were Team Rocket's elite unit. They call themselves the Matori Matrix. They're an extrely tough bunch. It took everything I had to shake them off."
The Matori Matrix!?
Natsui thought for a mont, then shook his head.
He seed to recall hearing that na before, but he couldn't rember the specific details.
"I should take you to the Pokémon Center first."
"No!" Looker said weakly. "Those people are still looking for everywhere, and Team Rocket has spies all over the city. The mont I show my face, they'll definitely find ."
"Then what do you want to do?" Natsui asked.
Looker glanced behind him, as if he had already planned his escape route: "The freight train station is right behind here. I just calculated, a train passes by almost every ten minutes or so. I plan to take a train and leave this city first."
Natsui pondered for a mont before offering his own suggestion: "I feel it would be safer to have your colleagues co get you, or to call the police."
"Forget it." Looker gave a bitter smile. "Team Rocket has been operating in this city for years. Who knows if there are any moles in the police force. It's too risky. And I've already contacted headquarters; even if they send soone, it will take so ti."
Although Natsui was still a bit worried, since Looker had already made his decision, he couldn't say much more.
He helped Looker up, and just as they were about to leave the warehouse, a woman's wild laughter echoed as two people suddenly jumped in through a window!
"Ohohoho…" Jessie had a triumphant look on her face. "You there, kid! After following you for so long, we finally found our chance!"
"Jessie!?" Natsui was on high alert. "What are you doing here bothering instead of chasing after Ash?"
"Of course, we're here on the Boss's orders to eliminate you! Don't think I won't recognize you just because you're wearing a mask! Go, Ekans!"
Jessie said, throwing out her Poké Ball. But after a long mont, seeing that Jas hadn't chid in, she grew furious, grabbed him by the collar, and shook him back and forth: "You idiot, stop hesitating and get a move on."
Jas had no choice but to release his own Pokémon as well, saying with little confidence, "Go, Koffing…"
Seeing the large R on their chests, Looker shook his head helplessly: "I can't believe they've targeted you too."
Natsui couldn't help but sigh. Since he was opposing Team Rocket, he was already prepared for this, but he hadn't expected it to happen so soon.
Although these two from Team Rocket had crossed paths with Natsui before, they had never fought, so they naturally didn't know his strength.
But Natsui had no ti to deal with them now. He threw two Poké Balls from his waist.
"Charmander, Squirtle! I'm leaving this to you! We're leaving!"
"Trying to run?" owth popped out from nowhere, blocking Natsui's path. "Taste my Fury Swipes!"
With that, owth leaped forward, its two claws glinting as it swiped at Natsui's face!
"Nice one! owth!" Jessie cried out in delight. But as soon as the words left her mouth, she saw owth's body hit what seed like a wall of air, pause for a mont, and then fly backward like a cannonball, smashing through several wooden boxes!
Kirlia slowly lowered its arm, its eyes fixed on owth.
"Darn it!" Jessie clenched her fists and shouted, "Ekans! Koffing! Don't just stand there, attack!"
The two Pokémon heard the command and launched their respective moves, but in the next second, they were blocked by Charmander's Ember and Squirtle's Water Gun!
Taking this chance, Natsui left the warehouse through the back door with Looker and got onto the train tracks.
Just as he was about to set Looker down to the side, a rocket suddenly flew towards them at high speed!
In a flash, being an ordinary human, Natsui didn't have ti to react. But at that critical mont, his and Looker's bodies were suddenly enveloped by a strange gust of wind and flown to the side, dodging the attack.
The sound of the explosion echoed throughout the freight station. Rubble and shrapnel flew in all directions, only to be blocked completely by that sa gust of wind.
"Oh? You dodged it? How did you manage that?"
A deep voice ca from a nearby rooftop. Natsui looked up and saw five n and won wearing berets and black Team Rocket uniforms, standing there and watching them coldly.
Looking at these Team Rocket mbers, whose deanor was clearly different from the usual grunts, Natsui asked in a low voice, "Who are you!?"
"Right, we should introduce ourselves, so you don't die without knowing who killed you!" The leader, a burly man with an eyepatch over his right eye, grinned ferociously. "My na is Gozu, and we are the elite unit under Ms. Matori of Team Rocket—the Matori Matrix!"
