“Zoroark, One-Hit KO, no matter what pet beast he sends out.”
“Don’t worry about anything else; our target is purely the man himself.”
Not far from the Peerless Nightclub, Chi Hong looked at the main entrance lined with luxury cars and spoke in a low tone.
He was actually a bit nervous.
Forget about doing this kind of work before, he had never even thought about it!
“Hehe…” Zoroark extended a claw, covered its mouth, and chuckled.
A gray body, a red mane extending all the way to its tail, and bright red claws—this was a fox-like Pokémon.
Only after getting close could one truly experience the vibe this Zoroark gave off.
In short, it truly lived up to its reputation as the Illusion Fox Pokémon.
Since Chi Hong let it out, it was either stealthily peeping around or covering its mouth to let out sinister laughs…
“Maybe the personality of my one is just more extreme…”
“After all, it is a pure Dark-type fox-like Pokémon.”
Chi Hong reached out to stroke Zoroark’s fiery red mane.
Just as he was about to issue a command, he suddenly remembered something.
“I remember…
according to the lore, Zoroark can create illusions to transform into any living creature it has seen, right?”
As soon as Chi Hong finished speaking, Zoroark took a step back, its body twisted bizarrely, and then another Chi Hong appeared right in front of him.
From height and build to clothing, everything was completely identical!
The only difference was that cunning gleam still flickering in those eyes.
“Excellent.”
The corners of Chi Hong’s mouth curled up beneath his mask.
He knew exactly how absurd a Pokémon that perfectly inherited both the anime and game lore could be.
Take Zoroark for example; according to the lore, it could easily create illusions for hundreds of people at once.
Dealing with ordinary people would be an absolute breeze.
In the games, it could only transform into Pokémon, but in the anime, it could turn into anyone it wanted—Suicune, Entei, Raikou—as long as it had seen them, it could transform into them.
It could even transform into Ash; turning into a human was something even its base form, Zorua, could do.
“Zoroark, the time has come to test our synchronization!”
Chi Hong’s eyes lit up as he gave Zoroark a thumbs-up.
“Siaa~”
Zoroark nodded and actually started strutting boldly straight toward the front doors of the Peerless Nightclub.
“Eh?”
Chi Hong was momentarily stunned, but out of trust in his Pokémon, he followed along.
As for the surveillance cameras inside the club, who cared?
He was bundled up tightly, fully equipped with a mask and hat, and even wore gloves.
Zoroark cared even less.
An assassin named Red brought along such an arrogantly sinister pet beast.
It fit his persona perfectly.
Even if they played with homophones, no one would ever suspect Chi Hong!
The security guards at the door were still far away when they started bowing and scraping as they hurried over.
While greeting Chi Hong, they respectfully addressed him as ‘President Zhang.’
“You’re really something, Zoroark!”
Chi Hong said with a smile.
With this, he was completely relieved.
This sentence did not reach the security guard’s ears.
He only saw ‘President Zhang’ give him a calm nod.
He was experiencing an illusion, subconsciously believing that a regular patron of the club, President Zhang, had arrived.
He brought along his favorite pet beast, the Wind-Tearing Fox.
Just like that, one person and one fox swaggered into the Peerless Nightclub.
The level of extravagance inside was something Chi Hong had never seen in his past life.
Sexy young ladies passing by could be seen everywhere.
Moreover, he appeared differently in everyone’s eyes; he was everyone’s respective ‘acquaintance.’
After exchanging greetings with a few people, Chi Hong immediately sensed something wrong.
There was a flaw!
If just two or three people compared notes, they would instantly realize something was off about him.
This was a massive loophole, though it didn’t affect his current operation.
“As expected, Pokémon can only perfectly utilize their power when paired with a strong trainer.”
Chi Hong had this realization.
If he were the one issuing commands, this kind of oversight absolutely wouldn’t have happened.
After casually asking two waiters, he immediately pinpointed Boss Cai’s location.
With his hands in his pockets, he calmly made his way toward Boss Cai’s private room.
While still a distance away, Chi Hong sensed something amiss.
Standing at the end of the hallway was a Beast Tamer playing rock-paper-scissors with a human-sized wooden puppet.
[Spooky Puppet: Level 46]
[Type: Ghost]
Chi Hong didn’t care about the other information.
This thing was a Ghost-type, meaning Dark-type moves would deal double damage.
Its level also wasn’t as high as Zoroark’s.
If they launched an all-out sneak attack directly, the battle could be ended in an instant.
Furthermore, since he carried a Ghost-type pet beast, it was hard to say how effective Zoroark’s illusion would be on him.
Chi Hong didn’t want to test it either.
“Get ready to strike directly.”
Chi Hong narrowed his eyes.
He didn’t even realize that he and Zoroark were both emitting a murderous aura.
“Just to be safe…” Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
“Let’s wipe them all out in one fell swoop!”
“Limit Break!”
Chi Hong raised his head and decisively activated the skill.
Zoroark’s eyes glinted as it looked at Chi Hong with a surprised gaze.
It could feel that a certain restriction on itself had vanished.
It had to be said that Zoroark’s brain worked much better than Mightyena’s.
The straightforward Mightyena didn’t care about such feelings; whatever Chi Hong told it to do, it did!
“Zoroark, just in case, start stacking buffs now!”
“Use Nasty Plot!”
Zoroark received the command and immediately executed the skill, giving itself a Special Attack boost buff.
Just when it thought the next command would be an attack, Chi Hong spoke in rapid succession.
“Then use Hone Claws, Calm Mind, and top it off with a Swords Dance!”
Zoroark immediately got busy, consecutively using four skills.
People occasionally walking past them couldn’t see this scene at all, but merely felt something was suddenly a bit off nearby.
There was a strange sensation.
“Excellent!
Now do all four skills again!” Chi Hong said, looking at Zoroark.
Zoroark didn’t hesitate.
It closed its eyes, preparing to use Calm Mind once more, but a few seconds later, it shook its head at Chi Hong.
“Can’t do it?”
“Woo-awoo…”
“I see.
Using them again within a short time isn’t very effective, huh.”
“Huhu…” Zoroark gave a slight nod.
Chi Hong nodded.
It was just that magical; even though he couldn’t understand what Zoroark was saying, he could comprehend what it was trying to convey.
Chi Hong didn’t overthink it.
Being able to stack four skills at once was more than enough.
The skill restriction had probably been assimilated by this world.
Without dwelling on it further, Chi Hong pointed at the wooden puppet in the distance and said, “Night Slash!
Finish it off instantly!”
Zoroark didn’t even make a sound.
With blinding speed, it launched itself from its spot, a black shadow rushing straight at the Spooky Puppet!
“???”
The man in the distance froze for a moment, and actually managed to react instantly!
“Sneak attack!!”
He had barely shouted this phrase when a red light slashed through the Spooky Puppet, cleanly slicing its body in two!
