Boom!
Rathian crashed to the ground, becoming dizzy from the impact and even suffering several broken bones.
If it hadn’t been so tough, the fall from such a height would have killed it outright.
Faced with such a perfect opportunity, Zhang Tian and Pidgeot naturally weren’t going to let it go to waste.
“Sacred Sheathe Slash!”
Zhang Tian jumped off Pidgeot and descended toward Rathian, using Sacred Sheathe Slash.
Pidgeot was even faster than Zhang Tian.
After all, it had already stacked Agility three times.
“Caw!”
Pidgeot unleashed its ultimate trump card—Brave Bird.
Boom!
Pidgeot transformed into a bird-shaped projectile of light and shot downward, slamming directly into Rathian’s head.
Crack!
A section of Rathian’s skull caved inward, sending scales flying in every direction.
White and red fluid began flowing from Rathian’s mouth and nostrils.
Clearly, its brain had suffered severe trauma.
“ROAR!”
Rathian struggled desperately, thrashing about.
“Sacred Sheathe Slash!”
Zhang Tian descended from the sky.
A flash of blade light swept across Rathian’s body, leaving behind a massive wound.
Originally, Zhang Tian had been aiming for Rathian’s head.
However, Rathian’s violent movements had shifted its position.
As a result, Zhang Tian’s blade struck its body instead.
“I should be able to capture it now, right?”
Looking at the battered Rathian, Zhang Tian threw a Luxury Ball.
Bang!
A flash of red light appeared as Rathian was absorbed into the Luxury Ball.
Buzz!
Buzz!
Crack!
The Luxury Ball shook twice before suddenly bursting open.
Zhang Tian was just about to throw another Luxury Ball when he suddenly heard the sound of rushing wind above him.
There was also the unmistakable sound of powerful wings beating through the air.
Without even thinking, Zhang Tian immediately ran to the side.
Pidgeot reacted even faster.
It grabbed Zhang Tian and instantly flew more than a hundred meters away.
A Pidgeot with three stacks of Agility was simply too fast.
“ROAR!”
Only one or two seconds after Pidgeot had carried Zhang Tian away, a massive red shadow descended from the sky and pounced on the spot where Zhang Tian had just been standing.
Boom!
The impact created a huge crater.
“Rathalos!”
Zhang Tian turned around and saw the monster that had attacked him.
It was a twenty-meter-long red Flying Wyvern that looked extremely similar to Rathian.
One was red, while the other was dark green.
It was none other than Rathalos, known as the King of the Skies.
As for its strength, Rathalos occupied an ecological position one level higher than both Rathian and Blood Orange Bishaten.
Rathalos
Level: 58 (Quasi-Champion Class)
In the wild, some Rathian and Rathalos formed mating pairs.
Therefore, Hunters who were unlucky enough to hunt a Rathian could sometimes encounter its mate, Rathalos. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
And then they’d end up fighting the couple together.
“A married couple?”
Zhang Tian raised his hand and released Gardevoir.
“Garde!”
The instant Gardevoir appeared, it immediately used Teleport, taking Zhang Tian and Pidgeot away.
Before coming here, Zhang Tian had already given Gardevoir a specific instruction.
The moment he released Gardevoir, it was to immediately use Teleport and take all three of them away.
“ROAR!”
Seeing its enemies disappear, Rathalos let out an enraged roar.
Its mate had just been beaten badly, and now the culprit had vanished right in front of it.
Anyone could imagine how furious Rathalos was.
“It’s a shame Rathalos can fly. Otherwise, I could actually fight it.”
“After all, I have five Gym Leader-Class Pokémon. Including myself, that’s six against one.”
“Unfortunately, aside from Pidgeot, none of us can fly.”
Zhang Tian shook his head regretfully before beginning to examine his surroundings.
He found himself inside a pitch-black cave filled with an unbearable stench.
“Looks like I ended up in some monster’s nest.”
Covering his nose and mouth, Zhang Tian hurried toward the exit.
It was far too smelly.
He had no intention of staying there any longer.
The instant Zhang Tian walked out of the nest with Pidgeot and Gardevoir, he came face-to-face with another monster.
The creature was around twenty meters long and six to seven meters tall.
It looked remarkably similar to the Tyrannosaurus rex from the Jurassic era.
Its back was black, while its belly was red.
It was an Anjanath.
In terms of ecological position, Anjanath was roughly on the same level as Rathian and Blood Orange Bishaten.
Anjanath
Level: 49 (Gym Leader Class)
“ROAR!”
Seeing Zhang Tian emerge from its nest, Anjanath became furious.
It let out an angry roar before opening its enormous jaws and lunging toward Zhang Tian.
“Fuck you!”
“You think just because I can’t beat Rathalos, I can’t beat you?”
Zhang Tian was extremely irritated as he watched Anjanath charge toward him.
“Gardevoir, Teleport to the top of Anjanath’s head.”
Zhang Tian looked toward Gardevoir.
“Garde.”
Gardevoir nodded lightly.
Pink light appeared.
In an instant, Gardevoir and Zhang Tian disappeared and reappeared directly above Anjanath’s head.
“Sacred Sheathe Slash!”
Zhang Tian descended from the sky and brought his blade down.
Boom!
The blade struck Anjanath’s head.
The tremendous force instantly drove Anjanath’s head into the ground.
Boom!
Anjanath crashed heavily onto the ground and let out a painful cry.
At that moment, Zhang Tian’s Great Girros Long Sword was embedded in Anjanath’s skull, while Zhang Tian himself stood directly on its head.
An Elite-Class Long Sword really can’t keep up with me anymore.
If I had a Gym Leader-Class Long Sword—like the Blood Orange Bishaten Long Sword—it would definitely be able to cut through its skull instead of getting stuck in the bone.
Zhang Tian glanced at the blade in his hands.
Almost at the same time, Pidgeot’s attack arrived.
Its enormous wing slammed into Anjanath’s jaw.
It was using Wing Attack.
Bang!
Anjanath’s jawbone cracked from the impact, and several teeth were broken.
“ROAR!”
Anjanath struggled to get back onto its feet.
At that moment, Zhang Tian released Blood Orange Bishaten, Tobi-Kadachi, Great Izuchi, and Arzuros.
Blood Orange Bishaten and Tobi-Kadachi immediately appeared on Anjanath’s body, forcing it back down to the ground.
Then Zhang Tian, Pidgeot, Tobi-Kadachi, Blood Orange Bishaten, Great Izuchi, and Arzuros all attacked Anjanath together.
It was an overwhelming beating.
Anjanath was knocked unconscious with ease.
Six against one.
With the advantage of numbers and a Flying Wyvern practically lying at their feet, how could Anjanath possibly win?
It didn’t have the slightest chance to fight back.
“Ahh… much better.”
Zhang Tian let out a satisfied breath before throwing a Luxury Ball.
Buzz!
Buzz!
The Luxury Ball shook twice before successfully capturing Anjanath.
[Anjanath successfully captured!]

“A powerful physical attacker, and its Ability is pretty good too.”
“580 Base Stats, the same as Blood Orange Bishaten. It’s only twenty points short of the pseudo-legendary range.”
After examining Anjanath’s Ability and Base Stats, Zhang Tian turned his attention to its Signature Moves.
One of them immediately caught his attention.
Heat Vent Membrane
Category: Status
Description: Anjanath spreads open the heat-dissipating membranes on its body.
While using Fire-type moves, its Special Attack rapidly increases until it reaches the same value as its Attack.

“With this ability, Anjanath can function as both a physical attacker and a special attacker.”
