Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Exeggutor
"Exeggutor!"
Exeggutor exclaimed, and then Gary noticed the stones in the garden grass floating up. "Yes, you've awakened the Confusion skill," Gary said in surprise.
Confusion is a Psychic-type skill with a power of only 50, but it is very practical. In the later stages of Psychic Pokémon, the power of Confusion does not depend on the skill power alone but on the mental strength.
For example, Mewtwo can cause great damage just by using Confusion, and even the Confusion Shield made by Confusion can prevent more attacks.
Gary patted Exeggutor, who was about the same height as him, and looked at its attributes:
```
[Pokémon: Exeggutor♂]
[Attribute: Grass, Psychic]
[Level: 10]
[Potential: Quasi-Elite]
[Ability: Chlorophyll]
[Skills: Absorb, Hypnosis, Reflect, Leech Seed, Confusion]
[Intimacy: 201 (maximum 255)]
```
After Exeggutor evolved, its potential increased from Gym to Quasi-Elite.
It seems that the top evolution stone can only raise the potential level by one, but it is already very good.
"The bronze crown will not be used for the time being."
Gary wanted to raise Exeggutor's potential again, but considering the capture task issued by the system, he decided to hold back.
What if the police station gives Gary a Growlithe with low potential? So the bronze crown should be kept.
The other three Pokémon, except Alakazam, are not rare Pokémon. You can catch them, so there is no need to worry too much.
"Exeggutor, you should adapt to your current body first and practice Confusion skills more," Gary said.
"Exeggutor!"
Exeggutor nodded, moved its body, and practiced using Confusion.
Gary looked in the direction of the Pokémon Center.
---
Night. Pokémon Center.
Ash sat in the waiting area, looking at the red light on the door of the operating room, feeling very uneasy.
Ash didn't expect Pikachu to be so seriously injured, and the treatment lasted from morning to night. He was very worried that Pikachu would have an accident.
Fortunately, Misty was by Ash's side to comfort him.
Although Misty had slapped Ash, she felt very sympathetic to him after knowing what happened.
Ting!
The next second, the light on the door of the operating room went out.
Ash and Misty walked over, and just as they approached the door of the operating room, it opened. Nurse Joy, with the help of two Chanseys, pushed the used trolley out.
Pikachu was lying on the trolley, with a charging device on its head, and the positive and negative batteries were hung on the shelf next to the trolley.
Ash and Misty immediately asked Nurse Joy about Pikachu's condition.
Pikachu was fine, and they just needed to wait for Pikachu to recover slowly. Only then did Ash breathe a sigh of relief.
"Emergency alarm! Emergency alarm!"
"There is an invasion in Viridian City, most likely a Pokémon kidnapping group."
Suddenly, the alarm in the Pokémon Center sounded.
Outside the Pokémon Center.
Gary looked at the hot air balloon in the sky and was speechless. He was still wondering how Team Rocket would break into the Pokémon Center, but he didn't expect that they would directly ride the hot air balloon. This is too blatant.
You guys are so showy, does Giovanni know?
You know, it's all because of you that Viridian City is currently under martial law. I guess this has caused Giovanni a lot of trouble.
Not long after, Gary saw three figures jumping off the hot air balloon and entering the Pokémon Center from the mirror ceiling. At the same time, clouds of black smoke came out of the vents.
"Exeggutor, Squirtle, it's time for us to act," Gary said.
"Exeggutor!"
"Squirtle!"
Gary walked out of the flower bed with two Pokémon and quickly came to the door of the Pokémon Center.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the Rocket trio finishing their opening words and confronting Ash and the others.
"Our target is the sick Pokémon in the Pokémon Center. If we look for them one by one, we will definitely find a few precious Pokémon," Jessie said.
"Right!" James nodded in agreement.
Their goal this time is to find the precious Pokémon that are being treated in the Pokémon Center.
"You bastards, it's really infuriating," Ash said angrily. This is the first time he has seen such shameless people in his life.
Jessie and James didn't care about rookie trainers like Ash. They are elite members of Team Rocket.
"Koffing, use Poison Gas!" James was too lazy to talk nonsense and used it directly.
"Wow...!"
However, Koffing, who wanted to act, suddenly stopped in mid-air and couldn't move.
Seeing that Koffing didn't act, James asked in surprise, "Koffing, what's wrong with you?"
"What's going on?" Jessie was also confused. Koffing usually listened to James very well. Why did it suddenly disobey?
"Behind!" Nurse Joy almost shouted at this time.
The Rocket trio immediately turned around and saw a handsome boy standing at the entrance of the Pokémon Center, followed by an Exeggutor and a Squirtle.
"Gary!" Ash's pupils widened when he saw the boy at the entrance.
"With me here, don't even think about taking the Pokémon here," Gary said coldly.
"Another little brat, Ekans," Jessie didn't take Gary seriously and immediately ordered Ekans to attack.
"Hiss~!"
Ekans rushed over immediately.
"Exeggutor!" Gary shouted, and Exeggutor manipulated Koffing's body to directly hit Ekans, knocking it out.
"What!" Jessie couldn't believe that a rookie trainer had such strength.
"Leech Seed."
Exeggutor's three heads spat out three Leech Seeds, and with the blessing of Confusion, Leech Seed accelerated to fly towards the target.
Leech Seed hit the target, absorbing Koffing and Ekans's energy, growing vines, and wrapping around them.
"What! Ekans, use Poison Sting."
"Koffing, use Smog."
Jessie and James issued commands at the same time.
"Hiss~!"
"Gas!"
Ekans and Koffing were tied up with vines, but they also used Poison Sting and Smog.
"Squirtle, use Water Gun to counteract Poison Sting!"
"Exeggutor, use Confusion to throw Koffing out!"
Squirtle immediately sprayed out Water Gun, and the powerful Water Gun easily knocked down all Poison Stings.
Exeggutor threw Koffing to the pillar beside it, successfully disrupting Koffing's attack.
Bang!
Koffing hit the pillar, and with the energy absorbed by Leech Seed, it fainted directly.
"What! My Koffing," James saw Koffing defeated and ran over immediately.
Now the Rocket trio only had one Ekans left, and of course, there was one Meowth, but the Rocket Meowth was not very powerful.
Without Koffing's help, Ekans was isolated and bound by Exeggutor's Confusion. Squirtle's Water Gun fired and defeated it.
