‘Is this…
Baby Flame?’
Seeing Agumon use the familiar attack method from his memories, along with the fact that it was one of only two moves recorded under [Exclusive Move] on the panel, Sinshi’s facial expression gradually contorted.
When Agumon charged straight in just now, he had been a little worried about accidents.
But the result…
it one-shot an Unown with a single move?
Isn’t the power of this [Exclusive Move] a bit too strong?
Seeing that its attack was effective, Agumon showed no intention of stopping.
Raising its arms with their hard, sharp claws, it completely ignored the absolute numerical disadvantage of fighting many alone and actively initiated a charge toward the densely packed Unown before it.
“Baby Flame!”
“Baby Flame!”
“Baby Flame!”
“…”
Opening its mouth fired off a fireball, and closing it fired another.
This incredibly fierce and rapid attack rhythm left the group of Unown somewhat unable to react.
It was clearly thirty-two against one; the advantage was supposed to be theirs.
It was bad enough that this guy had defeated one of them with a sudden sneak attack, but now it actually had the audacity to actively launch an assault.
It was simply too arrogant—this was absolutely intolerable!
The Unown were angry.
They were furious once again.
Their hearts were filled with rage, but what greeted them were flames burning even more vigorously than their anger.
One Baby Flame after another rained down relentlessly from the sky, suppressing all the Unown that had just charged forward and forcing them back.
A few unlucky ones who couldn’t react in time were forced to passively defend with their faces, ultimately ending up scorched all over and crashing to the ground.
Their fury was extinguished by the flames.
The Unown’s brains were somewhat short-circuiting at this moment.
Did this thing’s attacks have no skill cooldown?
It was just spewing fire like a maniac.
So much so that at this moment, all twenty-something Unown were being completely suppressed and beaten by Agumon.
Let alone the Unown, even Sinshi on the sidelines was a bit shocked by Agumon’s reckless brute appearance.
His original plan was to use the Unown’s power to break open the boulder, finish exploring the ruins here, summon a Pokémon, and finally actively avoid the Unown to prevent any conflict if possible.
If that really didn’t work, he would use the summoned Pokémon’s power to evade the Unown’s pursuit and leave the ruins.
But now, things seemed to be developing in an unexpected direction.
Not only was the summoned Pokémon an Agumon, but now Agumon was actively attacking without any regard for the enemy’s numbers, and it had even completely gained the upper hand.
Although he had previously thought that an Agumon, having already undergone two evolutions, would far exceed the strength of a Pokémon at the same stage and level—and the one-shot kill with Baby Flame just now proved this point—Sinshi hadn’t expected it to maintain the same overwhelming dominance in a one-versus-thirty-plus situation.
Well then, it seemed there was no need to leave just yet.
He could take this opportunity to understand Agumon’s combat power and also personally experience what battles in the Pokémon world felt like.
Sinshi opened the panel and began observing the battlefield while collecting information on the Unown.
[Species] Unown/Unown/Unown [Category] Symbol Pokémon [Type] Psychic [Ability] Levitate (Floats from the ground, making it immune to Ground-type moves) [Level] 6/7/5 [Exclusive Move] None [Learned Moves] Hidden Power [Base Stats] 336 (HP 48, Attack 72, Defense 48, Sp.

Scanning three Unown in a row and seeing their friendship column, Sinshi couldn’t help but chuckle.
It seemed they really hated him.
Then, amidst the baking heat of Agumon’s scorching flames, he continued to check the other Unown.
“Basically, their levels are all around Level 7.
And because the only move they can master is Hidden Power, combined with Agumon’s Dragon typing, their means of dealing damage are extremely limited,” Sinshi muttered to himself, his gaze slowly moving up the rows of small blue text on the panel.
There, an Unown with a larger physique compared to the others was staying in the corner, its giant eye staring fixedly at Agumon.
Sinshi locked his eyes onto it, and its information immediately appeared.
[Species] Unown [Category] Symbol Pokémon [Type] Psychic [Ability] Levitate (Floats from the ground, making it immune to Ground-type moves) [Level] 9 [Learned Moves] Hidden Power [Friendship] -50 (Extreme Disgust) [Status] Fully Concentrating
Seeing that its size and Level 9 status put it far ahead of the other Unown, Sinshi guessed that this one was the leader of the swarm.
“But as the leader, it’s actually not leading the charge, and instead hiding in the corner ‘fully concentrating’…”
What was the purpose of staring intently at Agumon at a time like this?
The answer was obvious.
Clearly, after realizing that Agumon was not to be trifled with, it had changed its siege strategy, beginning to look for flaws in Agumon’s defense and waiting for an opportunity to strike.
But unfortunately, it had been discovered by him.
“Agumon, fire a Baby Flame at the ceiling to your front left!”
Accompanied by Sinshi’s shout, Agumon, who had just swatted away an Unown with its claws, couldn’t help but glance toward the spot Sinshi mentioned.
Upon noticing an Unown there that clearly looked different, it immediately spat a Baby Flame from its mouth.
But from the moment Sinshi called out his warning, the Unown leader had also raised its guard.
Realizing it had been spotted, it immediately began to shift its position.
Barely dodging the Baby Flame, the Unown leader half-squinted its eye.
It ignored Agumon and instead glared angrily at Sinshi, clearly displeased by his warning.
A cluster of blue energy rapidly condensed in front of it, shooting straight toward Sinshi’s position.
Seeing this, Sinshi couldn’t help but curse, “Good heavens!
If you can’t beat the fighter, you attack the spectator, huh?”
Fortunately, he had trained his agility over the past few days.
Sinshi quickly bent down and rolled to the left, dodging the attack while calling out to stop Agumon, who wanted to come over and support him.
“Don’t worry about me!
That Unown is their boss, take it out first!”
Agumon understood.
With a few consecutive swipes of its claws, it swatted away the Unown surrounding it, while simultaneously brewing flames in its mouth and beginning to relentlessly bombard the Unown leader’s position.
Although this Unown was indeed a cut above the rest, it was clearly no match for Agumon in terms of either level or combat power.
It was chased and scorched all the way by Agumon, dodging wretchedly.
If it weren’t for its ability to fly, it probably would have been taken out by a few of Agumon’s Baby Flames long ago.
But even so, the Unown leader was beaten into a miserable state.
Because a corner of its body couldn’t dodge in time and was grazed by the flames, emitting a faint burnt smell, its speed was forced to drop.
Moreover, its forward trajectory happened to place it not far behind Sinshi.
Great opportunity!
“Agumon!”
Sinshi, who had been keeping a close eye on the battle, immediately shouted at Agumon upon seeing this.
At the same time, he spread his legs, dropped into a low lunge, and placed his interlaced fingers over his knee.
Agumon quickly understood his intention and sprinted rapidly toward Sinshi.
When it reached a distance of two or three meters from Sinshi, it leaped in an instant, landing precisely on his crossed palms.
“Up!”
Sinshi let out a loud shout, pulling his palms upward toward his head with all his might.
Using Sinshi’s palms and knee as a springboard, along with the pushing force of Sinshi’s hands, Agumon soared into the air, heading straight for the Unown leader flying overhead.
At the same time, an orange glow condensed on Agumon’s claws.
The second [Exclusive Move] — Sharp Claw!
