Jessie looked at the fainted Ekans and couldn't believe that she and James were defeated so easily. "Exeggutor, don't let them run away, use Confusion to tie them all up," Gary ordered.
Exeggutor immediately used Confusion to tie up all three members of Team Rocket. "Damn it, little brat, let us go."
"We are Team Rocket. If you mess with us, you will be in trouble."
"That's right, meowth!"
The three members of Team Rocket were still stubborn and threatened Gary with Team Rocket.
Gary didn't know what these three people were thinking. Viridian City is an important base of Team Rocket. Giovanni is in Viridian City and never lets his men move here.
You three are so bold, running here to steal Pokémon. If you succeed, the League will definitely send investigators to investigate, and then Giovanni will have to act cautiously.
Gary ignored the Rocket trio and ordered, "Exeggutor, tie them up with Leech Seed."
Exeggutor spat out three more Leech Seeds and wrapped them around the Rocket trio.
Leech Seed absorbed the trio's energy and grew vines to tie them up. Moreover, the Rocket trio's energy was not as strong as before, and they all fell asleep.
"Okay, it's quiet now," Gary waved his hand.
At this time, Nurse Joy knew that the dilemma was resolved, and they all came to thank Gary for his help.
"Thank you, you really helped a lot. Otherwise, if the Pokémon were taken away, I wouldn't know how to explain it to those Trainers," Nurse Joy thanked sincerely.
"You're welcome, this is my duty as an League Trainer, so let's call Officer Jenny over quickly," Gary said.
"No need, the alarm has just sounded, and Officer Jenny is on the way," Nurse Joy shook her head.
"Don't move, police!"
As soon as the voice fell, Officer Jenny's voice came from outside the door.
However, Officer Jenny was a little confused. She couldn't tell who looked like a bad guy. After all, she had just seen Ash in the morning. As for Gary beside Nurse Joy, he didn't look like a bad guy at all.
Nurse Joy hurried over to explain what happened here to Officer Jenny.
Knowing that the criminals were the Rocket trio, she immediately handcuffed them, ordered her men to take them away, and thanked Gary.
Gary knew that the police station in Viridian City would definitely not be able to hold the Rocket trio. As for whether this move would change the fate of the Rocket trio, Gary couldn't care less.
Before, Gary was worried that the Rocket trio was very strong, and he used 8 low-level Rare Candies on Exeggutor to raise Exeggutor's level to level 18. As a result, Jessie and James' Pokémon were also very low.
This is the Pokémon status of the two, which made Gary speechless. If Gary had known that Team Rocket was so weak, he would have used fewer Rare Candies.
"Gary, you already have two Pokémon," Ash came over and said.
"Yeah, what about you?" Gary deliberately asked back.
"Ah... I haven't captured a single Pokémon yet," Ash said embarrassedly.
When he arrived in Viridian City, Ash was mocked by Professor Oak, and unexpectedly, he was teased by Gary.
"You wanted to be my rival before, but you couldn't even handle the two Team Rocket members. It's probably difficult for you to collect all 8 badges. Give up the unrealistic illusion of becoming a Pokémon Master as soon as possible," Gary complained. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁
"I won't give up. My Pikachu is just injured. If it wasn't injured, I would definitely be able to defeat Team Rocket," Ash retorted.
Gary looked at Pikachu who was next to Misty. At this moment, Pikachu was still hanging on the positive and negative batteries and looked weak.

Ash also saw Pikachu's miserable condition and thought of what he had just said, and suddenly felt a little unconfident.
Gary was surprised at Pikachu's potential. Could it be that after the electric Pokémon was struck by lightning, the potential would be improved? After all, according to Pikachu's own situation, it is not a very strong Pokémon.
Moreover, Ash's Pikachu was not just struck by lightning, but also by Raikou and Zekrom's lightning.
And every time it was struck, Pikachu's own electricity would be enhanced. It was as if Pikachu absorbed the lightning of Legendary Pokémon into its own electricity, so it could release stronger electricity.
Gary decided to try it out after he captured an electric Pokémon.
"You keep an eye on Pikachu. I'm leaving first." There was nothing to do at the Pokémon Center, so Gary was also planning to leave.
"Leave? It's so late, where are you going, Gary?" Ash asked in confusion.
"Of course I'm going to the hotel to rest. The Pokémon Center apologized, so it's definitely impossible to provide accommodation, so I have to go to the hotel," Gary said speechlessly.
This Ash really has no common sense at all. Didn't he see that the Pokémon Center has been surrounded by cordons, and at least until tomorrow, no accommodation will be provided for Trainers?
And Ash will not leave the Pokémon Center for the time being and will definitely wait here for Pikachu to fully recover.
Gary also found a high-end hotel nearby to stay.
"Strange, why hasn't the task been completed yet?"
After defeating Team Rocket, Gary waited all the way but didn't hear the system prompt.
The reason why Pikachu destroyed the Pokémon Center was naturally because of the Rocket trio. Pikachu itself didn't have this idea.
Now that the Rocket trio has been dealt with by Gary, Pikachu will definitely not destroy the Pokémon Center again.
"Is it because Pikachu is still in Viridian City, and we have to wait for Pikachu to leave Viridian City?" Gary thought silently.
The task requires stopping Pikachu from destroying the Viridian Pokémon Center, but Pikachu is still in the Pokémon Center and is still in the restricted area. Perhaps only when Pikachu leaves the restricted area will the task be completed.
"It seems that we can only wait and see the results tomorrow."
Gary didn't think much about it. It was just 10 low-level Rare Candies. Even if the task could not be completed, there was no need to care too much.
Pokémon levels are easy to improve before the gym level. As long as the potential is sufficient, upgrading is just a matter of time.
The first thing Gary did when he woke up was to check whether the number of low-level Rare Candy in the space backpack had increased.
[Low-level Rare Candy x10]
The number of low-level Rare Candy is still 10. The task is still not completed.
Gary was a little worried and ran to the window to take a look. The Pokémon Center is still there and has not been destroyed. It seems that Ash and his friends have not left Viridian City yet.
