Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 18 Blood-stained Footprints ([-])

"Young man, don't be so impatient. I've already introduced myself before I asked you what to call me. Isn't that rude of you?"

"Lai."

"Well, Lai, from the way you dress and behave, you should be from a good background. Then you should know that some places in this world always produce extremely high-quality resources for various reasons, and seal them up without being noticed. The reason why I Staying with this pirate group for so long, and enduring these idiots, has something to do with it."

After a pause, Soujiro continued: "Those two guys guarded the treasure mountain but knew nothing about it. But I am different, and you should be different too. Now, I'm afraid it doesn't make much sense if you and I both lose here. Man, I can take them all out and let them and their Pokémon be your trophies, including the two in the mountain. You will get a lot of credit for this, and all I need is you to provide a small boat to let I can leave. When the storm passes, we can share the resources on this island. Although I have not seen it with my own eyes, I am sure that this will be a treasure you can't imagine."

Hearing this, Rai couldn't help but laugh out loud. He casually took a few steps forward, lightly tapped his feet twice, and said to Soujiro: "Brother, it's rare that you can still tell such a joke at your age." After saying that, he suppressed his smile and said, "It's a pity that I don't like to hear it. Everything you said, except for the illusory treasures, are all things I can get by taking it from you. Why should you exchange it with me?"

"Or are you trying to drag something over with these boring jokes and stories?"

Shaking his head, Soujiro said: "You said you were young, why are you so uncute? I didn't lie to you, everything above is true, but what you said is not completely wrong."

Before he finished speaking, two green figures flashed from a distance, arriving in an instant.

The four sickles were drawn from four angles, pointing directly at Lai's head, neck, arms, and legs.

At this time, the hand covering his left arm was loosened, and a silver-gray stick slipped out from the cuff. The stick that was about a foot long slid down quickly. Lai held the handle of the stick and blocked the knife that hit his leg. The Poké Ball enlarged and opened on its own, and the fast-swimming frog jumped out, its arms flashing with white light, blocking the two knives that were slashing at the neck and arms. The long-winged gull flew past the ear, attacking the attacker with its wings. Chest and abdomen, attacking the enemy must save them. Under the instinctive trend, the assassin took back the offensive.

After a short fight of one or two seconds, the two attackers dodged back, and Lai quickly retreated more than ten steps.

A closer look revealed two flying mantises.

"You guys are really secretive. You even hid two of them."

"When dealing with a ghostly guy like you, you can't be too careful. Gem Starfish, salt water!" Gem Starfish, who was timid during the close encounter, let go of his hands and feet after pulling away, and a large amount of water energy condensed into drops. Rushing towards Lai like a storm.

"Frog, hold on!" Frog, who had recovered some energy during the rest, realized that this was the moment of life and death, and responded quickly. A thick wall of green light blocked Rai and other Pokémon.

The collision of skills caused splashes all over the sky, and the powerful man under the curtain came out from it. It had been passively beaten all the time, and it was full of anger, and it pushed hard at the fast-swimming frog.The fast-swimming frog was not to be outdone. After releasing the hold, he immediately used his signature mega-ton punch.

Two flying mantises also came out separately. They obviously cooperated tacitly, and every attack was coordinated with each other. It was as if the same Pokémon had twice the weapons. The Big Mouth Bat barely managed to parry with its extraordinary maneuverability, knocking out the two Pokémon. Kamu led away from the main battlefield and released black mist again. Although the effect was far less effective than before due to his lack of physical strength, it still blocked the Flying Mantis' sight and temporarily trapped it.

On the frontal battlefield, only the intact gem starfish and the tired long-winged gull were left.After many battles and long-distance flights, and its own race is not good at flying, the long-winged gull has consumed most of its energy, but now it has no other choice.

There was no longer the usual smile on his face, and the long-winged gull's eyes were full of determination.

"Jewel starfish, water gun!" "Long-winged gull, water gun!" Both sides ordered at the same time, and the two water guns collided. The jewel starfish water gun with superior physical strength was larger, but the long-winged gull, which was more skilled in using water energy, concentrated It is the essence, and in the end there is no distinction between them.

Restarting its high-speed rotation, the jeweled starfish rushed directly towards Rai, who was alone.In the sky, the long-winged gull, which was exhausted and had just finished using its skills, had no time to react and could only watch the gem starfish getting closer and closer to its trainer.

In an emergency, Lai held both ends of the short stick with both hands, and erected the short stick to block the left abdomen in front of him, just touching the gem starfish that was rotating horizontally.But Pokémon's enormous strength is beyond the reach of human beings. Even if it successfully parries, this huge force still shakes Lai back six or seven steps, almost sitting down.

The Jeweled Starfish was about to take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack, but the Long-winged Gull had finished adjusting its breath and was hit by a violent storm, knocking it back.

After several rounds of fighting, Gem Starfish still seemed to be able to handle it with ease, while Lai's side had already tried their best and was somewhat difficult to parry.

At this time, on the battlefield in the distance, the big-mouthed bat seized the opportunity and bit the flying mantis' neck with its venomous fangs, knocking it down. It was also hit in the front and was on the verge of collapse. It barely managed to use ultrasound and failed. Fall to the ground.

Seeing this, Lai took out the elf ball and took the big-mouthed bat back: "Thanks for your hard work, don't worry about it."

The flying mantis that was hit by the ultrasonic wave fell into a state of chaos, and Soujiro also took it back. The fierce battle left him no time to feed the medicine, but he only had to wait for a moment, the chaos would recover on its own, and the balance of the battle would be completely tilted.

Lai, who fell into such a passive situation for the first time since he was a child, did not have any fear or irritability at this moment. Instead, he felt unprecedented comfort. His brain was working extremely fast, and his perception seemed to break through some kind of barrier, allowing him to enter into a space that blended with this space. The mysterious state of oneness, every inch of land and every piece of gravel, reappeared in his mind. The water jumping fish in the distance and the long-winged gull nearby were like two miniature suns emitting light and heat. It's like my own hands and feet.

His chest rose and fell greatly, Lai took a deep breath, then held his breath and concentrated.

The Gem Starfish spun again and attacked.

No more words are needed.

Use its wings to attack from the upper left.Lai's instructions were sent to the long-winged gull's mind in the form of information, as if they were of one mind. The long-winged gull instantly understood Lai's intentions, and at an extremely tricky angle, attacked the rotating gem starfish with its wings, and precisely stuck in a On tubular feet.Waves of water.Lai's message came again without any delay. An energy ball condensed and hit the gem on Gem Starfish's chest at zero distance.

The rapid transition between offense and defense and the powerful blow at close range severely damaged the Gem Starfish, which was in an attack state and had almost no defense. However, at this moment, it also showed its full strength. Following Soujiro's command, it forcibly survived the wing attack and the water attack. After the double blow of fluctuations, he also used the power gem, and the scorching light completely hit the long-winged gull in front of him.

There were two sounds, one after the other, and the two Pokémon fell to the ground at the same time.

While being horrified, Soujiro lowered his head rejoicingly, glanced at the Poké Ball with the Flying Mantis in his hand, then raised his head, and Rai, who was holding a short stick, was in front of him.

At this moment, Lai's eyes seemed to be empty, but also seemed to encompass a sea of ​​stars.

　I'm wondering if I should finish this big chapter tonight, but I'm a little unmotivated. . .
