Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

An Zhe had learned about the existence of the Ultra Guardians from Satoshi a long time ago and was very curious about them, but he had never had the chance to see them.

He heard Satoshi say, "Everyone, it's time for us to move out!"

Kaki raised his hand and shouted, "Ultra Guardians, let's go!"

"Yeah!!!"

The others also raised their hands to echo Kaki.

Seeing their enthusiasm, An Zhe became interested and asked, "Can I go and have a look?"

Satoshi readily agreed, "Of course! With Mr. An Zhe's help, our mission will definitely be smoother."

Subsequently, led by Satoshi and his group, An Zhe arrived at the headquarters of the Ultra Guardians, where he met their commander-in-chief—a cute Clefable.

Clefable, the Fairy Pokémon, with a single Fairy typing, is the evolved form of Clefairy and the final evolved form of Cleffa.

The Clefable at the Ultra Guardians headquarters is Lusamine's Pokémon and is currently responsible for various logistical tasks of the Ultra Guardians.

Here, An Zhe also saw a group of Meltan.

Meltan, the Hex Nut Pokémon, with a single Steel typing, has a golden hexagonal nut on its head, with a large black eyeball floating in the center of the nut. Its body is composed of liquid metal, and it trails a red wire tail behind its butt. It's incredibly cute, no less so than Clefable.

The key point is that Meltan are Mythical Pokémon, and there's actually a whole group of them here.

As far as An Zhe knew, Satoshi's Melmetal was originally a member of this group of Meltan, and it only evolved after following Satoshi.

Melmetal, the Hex Nut Pokémon, with a single Steel typing, is the evolved form of Meltan, a Mythical Pokémon, a "one-eyed giant" composed entirely of liquid metal. Its arms can freely extend and bend, allowing it to unleash powerful attacks.

After briefly introducing An Zhe's identity to Clefable and the Meltan, Satoshi and the others set off.

They walked into a device similar to an elevator, and then circular holes appeared on the floor of the elevator, one under each person's feet, and they quickly fell down along the holes.

This was the first time An Zhe had experienced something like this, and he found it quite novel.

These unknown materials clung tightly to everyone's bodies and began to change, eventually transforming directly into a set of form-fitting suits.

Satoshi's was blue, Lillie's was pink, Kaki's was red, Suiren's was blue, Mao's was green, and Mamane's was orange.

As for An Zhe's, it was black.

These suits not only had a uniform style but also had a certain degree of protective ability. They were high-end products specially developed by the Aether Foundation.

"I have one too?" An Zhe said in surprise.

Lillie smiled and said, "Of course, Mr. An Zhe is now a temporary member of our Ultra Guardians."

"That's right!" Satoshi grinned at An Zhe, "Let's do our best together."

After everyone finished transforming, they each landed on their own flying mounts.

Satoshi's mount was a Garchomp.

Lillie's mount was an Altaria.

Mamane's mount was a Metang.

Mao's mount was a Flygon.

Suiren's mount was a Hakamo-o.

Only Kaki's mount was his own Charizard; the others' mounts were provided by the Aether Foundation.

An Zhe's mount was a Noivern, formerly assigned to Gladion.

After everyone was seated securely on the backs of their flying mounts, the launching device below launched them out of the Ultra Guardians headquarters. The flying mounts carried everyone, spread their wings, and flew high, heading towards the direction where the Ultra Beast had appeared.

At this time, Lusamine's voice came from Satoshi's Rotom Dex.

"Everyone, the Ultra Beast that has appeared this time is Nihilego. It's very dangerous, so please be careful."

Hearing her mother's words, Lillie's face changed, and her expression became very unsightly, even faintly showing a trace of fear.

Because she had been attacked by Nihilego when she was a child, and not long ago, her mother, Lusamine, had been captured and taken into Ultra Space by a Nihilego in order to save her.

Although her mother was rescued without any danger, Lillie inevitably still had a trace of shadow in her heart.

At this time, the Rotom Dex played the information about Nihilego sent by Lusamine.

Nihilego, the Parasite Pokémon, a Rock and Poison-type Ultra Beast, looks like a white-skirted girl from afar, but its body contains powerful neurotoxins and likes to parasitize on humans or Pokémon.

Once humans or Pokémon are parasitized, they will gradually weaken due to the toxins.

After listening to the introduction of Nihilego, Mao said with a serious expression, "It seems we have to hurry, otherwise it won't be good if someone or a Pokémon is parasitized."

Everyone nodded, and then they patted the mounts under them. The mounts immediately accelerated one after another, rushing towards the direction indicated by Lusamine.

At the same time, in a forest on Melemele Island, Team Rocket (Kojiro, Musashi, Nyarth) was walking through it, hungry.

"Seriously, I haven't eaten anything since early in the morning, and my stomach is about to flatten!" Musashi complained angrily, "It's all Nyarth's fault. We agreed to eat that cake together, but you actually stole it all by yourself. How can a Meowth be so selfish!"

Saying that, she glared fiercely at Nyarth.

Nyarth immediately jumped up and retorted, "Musashi, don't slander me. I said I didn't eat it, so I didn't eat it. You're doubting Nyarth's Nyarth-ness, unforgivable!"

"If it wasn't you, then who else? If you did it, you should dare to admit it. Being afraid to admit what you've done will only make me look down on you!" Musashi quickly walked to Nyarth's side, pinched Nyarth's cheeks, and was about to fight it.

Nyarth popped out its claws to scratch Musashi, "Who's afraid to admit what they've done? Whoever ate it is a little Rattata!"

At this time, in a tree hole deep in the forest, a sleeping Stufful suddenly sneezed. It suddenly woke up, looked around, and seeing nothing unusual, snuggled into its mother's arms and continued to sleep soundly.

(Note: Currently, Team Rocket and the Bewear family live together in the forest.)

Seeing that Musashi and Nyarth were about to fight, Kojiro quickly stepped forward to mediate, "Okay, stop arguing. It's just a piece of cake. Even if the three of us split it, we'd still be hungry."

How big was that cake? Not even one bite for each person.

Hearing this, Musashi drooped her shoulders and said while rubbing her stomach, "At least it can hold us over for a while, even if it's just a little while."

Nyarth also sighed with a frustrated expression.

"Hee hee hee ~ ~ ~"

Just then, bursts of eerie sounds came from all directions.

"What's that sound?" Nyarth was so frightened that its heart trembled.

"What a creepy sound, I'm getting goosebumps." Musashi was also a little scared, constantly rubbing her arms.

“Could… could it be a ghost?” James said, hugging himself.

“A ghost?” Meowth jumped into Jessie’s arms, startled. Jessie quickly held Meowth tight.

“Ugh, how could there be a ghost!”

“Hee hee hee~ Hee hee hee~”

The sound came again, even more eerie and terrifying than before. At the same time, the trees in the forest began to shake rapidly, setting the mood perfectly.

Jessie, James, and Meowth huddled together, trembling with fear.

Meanwhile, deep in the forest, Bewear sensed an unusual presence. It suddenly opened its eyes, looking intently in one direction with a grave expression.

After a moment's thought, it placed Stufful deeper into the hollow of the tree and then dashed out of the tree hollow.

Suddenly, James caught a glimpse of a white shadow flitting past, and he jumped in fright.

“A ghost! There really is a ghost!”

With that, he took off running.

Jessie and Meowth hadn't seen anything, but seeing James so alarmed, they immediately followed him.

The two humans and one Pokémon were only focused on running, and they didn't even realize they had become separated from their companions, each running in a different direction.

After running for who knows how long, Jessie finally ran out of the forest. With no trees to block it, the bright sunlight shone on her, making her feel like the gloom had lifted. She stopped.

“James… Meowth, did… did the ghost… chase… chase us?” Jessie said, out of breath, with her hands on her knees.

Just then, someone seemed to pat her on the shoulder. She impatiently brushed off the hand on her shoulder.

“What is it, James? Stop bothering me.”

But the hand quickly came back.

“James!” Jessie exclaimed angrily, “I'm going to get really mad if you do that again!” As she said this, she grabbed the hand.

Huh? Why does this feel wrong? Why does James's hand feel like jelly?

Jessie turned her head sharply and saw a white shadow floating in front of her, with several tentacles swaying gently.

“Hee hee~ Hee hee~”

The laughter was exactly the same as in the forest.

“Gh… ghost…”

Before Jessie could finish her sentence, she felt a darkness before her eyes and then lost consciousness.

On the other side, Meowth and James finally realized that Jessie and James (Meowth) were missing, so they each went back to look for them.

Although they were afraid, they didn't give up on their companions.

Soon after, they reunited in a corner of the forest. James and Meowth were stunned by Jessie's appearance.

Jessie's upper body was enveloped in a transparent jellyfish. Her long purple hair was fused with the jellyfish's tentacles, constantly dancing in the air, and the tentacles were covered with red eyes, making it look very eerie.

“Hee hee hee~ Hee hee hee~”

Jessie flew in the air, making a completely different sound from her usual laughter, but her eyes were closed, as if she had fallen into a coma.

“Jess… Jessie, is that you?” Meowth tried to call out to Jessie.

“Hee hee hee~~” Jessie was still laughing to herself.

“Jessie! Jessie! Wake up! It's me, James! What's wrong?” James also began to shout loudly to Jessie.

Suddenly, Jessie stopped moving, and the dancing tentacles froze in mid-air. The eyes on them stared at James and Meowth, making the human and Pokémon's hair stand on end.

“Jess… Jessie?” James swallowed nervously.

The next second, a beam of yellow light suddenly shot out from the eyes on the tentacles, heading towards James and Meowth.

James recognized that they were Power Gems and quickly pulled Meowth away to dodge.

Boom!!!

Accompanied by loud noises, a large tree was destroyed by the Power Gems, and the ground was blasted with flying dirt.

Meowth finally realized that Jessie was being controlled by some Pokémon, so it extended its claws and pounced on the opponent, “What are you? Let go of Jessie!”

However, before Meowth could get close, it was sent flying by the opponent's waving tentacles.

“Meowth!” James shouted and quickly took out a Poké Ball, releasing Mareanie, “Mareanie, Poison Sting!”

“Mare-anie~” Mareanie jumped high, controlling countless Poison Stings to shoot towards the Pokémon controlling Jessie.

However, Mareanie was no match for it. The opponent waved its tentacles, using a Smack Down attack, instantly knocking all the Poison Stings away.

Mareanie's weak poison had no effect on it, not to mention that it was four times resistant to poison.

Before Mareanie could react, it was wrapped up by the opponent's tentacles.

The tentacles tightened around Mareanie's neck, and Mareanie let out a painful groan.

“Mare… anie…”

“Mareanie!” James shouted and quickly pounced over, “Let go of Mareanie!”

However, before he could touch it, the opponent's tentacles wrapped him up as well.

“Let… go…” James tugged at the tentacles on his neck, but he was slowly lifted up.

“James! Mareanie!” Meowth pounced over again, “Let everyone go.”

Unfortunately, it was also wrapped up and hung in the air.

“Hee hee hee~~ Hee hee hee~~” The Pokémon controlling Jessie seemed to be completely unaware of what cruelty was, still giggling innocently.

“Jess… Jessie! Meow… Meowth!” James's breathing became more and more difficult, and his consciousness became weaker and weaker, “Mare… Mareanie!”

Just as he was about to lose consciousness, a pink figure descended from the sky, punching the Pokémon in the abdomen and sending it flying.

Because of the intense pain, the Pokémon had to release James, Meowth, and Mareanie.

The human and two Pokémon fell to the ground, looking at the Pokémon that had come to rescue them with joy on their faces, relieved to be alive.

“Bewear, hurry and save Jessie! Jessie is being controlled by that Pokémon!” James shouted loudly.

That's right, it was Bewear, who lived with them, who had arrived in time to save them.

Hearing James's words, an angry light flashed in Bewear's eyes. It stomped its feet, and cracks immediately appeared on the ground, and the next second its body shot out.

The Pokémon that had been knocked away had just flown up when it saw Bewear descending from the sky again. Before it could react, Bewear's Karate Chop struck its head hard.

At that moment, the Pokémon controlling Jessie only felt stars in its eyes.

“Bewear~~” Bewear stared at the Pokémon, walking towards it step by step, exuding a terrifying sense of oppression.

The Pokémon sensed Bewear's power and flew up with Jessie, flying out of the forest in a panic.

“Bewear~” Bewear didn't hesitate at all and immediately strode after it.
