“Why are you specifically protecting him?”
“Your other subordinates are going to die, you know.”
Chi Hong stood perfectly still.
The earthquake had caused the ground to cave in, but the spot where he was standing hadn’t been damaged in the slightest.
Looking at the Lucario before him, the stubble-faced young man raised his hand and summoned another relatively small pet beast.
Judgment Horned Lions were distributed by the law enforcement organization, but as a B-Rank Beast Tamer, he naturally possessed his own pet beast as well.
However, facing this pet beast before him that was obviously overwhelmingly strong, could his pet beast really hold on?
The young man glanced at his pet beast: a large, fifty-centimeter-tall frog crouching on the ground.
He swallowed hard.
He was panicking right now, but his identity as a law enforcer prevented him from fleeing immediately or screaming for mercy.
“You can try and see if I can save another person from your hands.”
Chao Wu’s expression was cold, her two pet beasts glaring fiercely at Chi Hong like tigers stalking their prey.
“The difference in strength is too great.
Having three to five people won’t provide any advantage; instead, they’ll just drag you down.”
“Try and save him then!”
“Lucario!”
Chi Hong softly issued a command.
Lucario stepped forward.
Its mind was linked with Chi Hong’s, and right now, it couldn’t sense any murderous intent in Chi Hong’s heart whatsoever.
Therefore, this was not a command telling it to actually kill the guy in front of it, including that large frog.
“Giant-Belly Frog, block it!” The young man looked tense.
The large frog at his feet opened its mouth and spat a large wad of mucus at Lucario.
Lucario’s eyes glinted, and with a drifting maneuver, it dodged perfectly!
Detect!
Subsequently, it turned its face and delivered a punch.
This punch landed on a shield.
The shield’s temperature was very high, so Lucario retracted its fist, stepped back, and returned to Chi Hong’s side.
“Woo…”
Lucario looked at its fist, which was smoking slightly.
“Very fast speed.
What skill was that?
Teleport?
It’s just like Flash.
I didn’t see the movement trajectory of that Flame-Forged Armorsoldier at all.”
A look of interest appeared on Chi Hong’s face.
He felt his sleeves and rolled them up.
This action was evidently noticed by Chao Wu.
According to intelligence, the assassin Red’s pet beast could undergo evolution during combat!
“Run, quickly!”
“He’s right, I shouldn’t have brought you all along!”
“Now, leave the assassin Red to me alone!”
Chao Wu shouted loudly.
She currently looked as if she were facing a formidable enemy.
That Beast Tamer who, like her, was an A-Rank.
“But Captain, I want to contribute too!” Wang Dong said with an agitated expression.
In reality, he had already figured out where he was going to run.
“Leave quickly, his target seems to be you,” Chao Wu said in a cold tone.
“Are you kidding me?”
“You still think you can run?”
“If you run, then didn’t I come here for nothing?”
“Since it’s come to this, Lucario, MEGA Evolution!”
Chi Hong raised his right hand, and surging power erupted from his Mega Bracelet.
At this moment, the Key Stone responded to Chi Hong’s heart.
“It’s here!”
Chao Wu’s pupils shrank, and her breathing quickened.
Utilizing a certain item to evolve mid-battle.
It was simply a fantasy!
How long did it last?
Or…
as long as he wanted, could he maintain this state indefinitely?
What was the underlying principle?
What was the pathway for power transmission?
That bracelet?
In an instant, all sorts of questions filled Chao Wu’s mind.
“I originally didn’t expect you to be this troublesome.
I figured since I had two, you shouldn’t have been able to protect that guy.”
“You being so capable really disappoints me.”
Chi Hong’s words carried a provocative tone, and Chao Wu’s gaze grew even colder.
“Flee towards my back, I’ll hold him off,” Chao Wu spoke coldly.
As a captain, protecting her subordinates in times of crisis was a fundamental responsibility.
As for the remarks Red had made earlier, she had already sensed something amiss about this Wang Dong, but that wasn’t something she should be considering right now.
Investigating him or whatever was a matter for after this was over.
“Hold me off?”
“Lucario, hold off the Judgment Horned Lion and the Flame-Forged Armorsoldier.
Zoroark, after him, kill him!”
Chi Hong’s tone was hoarse.
He reached out a hand toward Wang Dong’s direction and squeezed it forcefully.
Wang Dong felt his heart skip a beat.
With an ashen face, he turned and ran!
“Siaa-awoo!!”
Zoroark leaped from a standstill, giving chase at extreme speed.
“Judgment Horned Lion, apprehend him!
Flame-Forged Armorsoldier, you attack too!” Chao Wu said, drawing a pistol from her lower back.
If necessary, she would directly attack Red himself.
A-Rank Beast Tamers were human too.
If a human was hit by a gun, they would lose their mobility or die.
Of course, she wouldn’t aim directly for Red’s head.
After all, if Red died, his two powerful pet beasts would enter a state of frenzy. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
And right now, she already suspected these two pet beasts.
Were they ‘berserk’ pet beasts from a forbidden zone?
The danger level of a berserk pet beast was far too high compared to a normal pet beast!
In reality, her suspicion was practically correct.
Lucario was an ‘Alpha’ Pokémon.
In both the ROM hack and the original games’ implicit lore, being attacked by an Alpha Pokémon made it very easy for a person to die.
“Lucario, Water Pulse!”
Chi Hong naturally wouldn’t allow Chao Wu’s two pet beasts to intercept Zoroark, and immediately issued a command.
In reality, every Pokémon could learn a large number of moves, and it was normally nearly impossible to memorize all of them.
However, as long as he activated ‘Limit Break’, all the learnable moves of the corresponding Pokémon seemed imprinted in his mind, exceedingly clear.
For instance, having Lucario use a skill like Water Pulse.
A sphere emitting a green glow appeared in Lucario’s claws, and this sphere began to expand.
“Extreme Speed!” Chi Hong spat out two words, and Lucario instantly understood.
As the Aura Pokémon, it was extremely easy for it to enter a state of synchronization with its trainer.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the trainer was exceptional enough to sense Lucario’s Aura power.
However, for a transmigrator with cheats like Chi Hong, this was as simple as eating and drinking.
Lucario instantly appeared in front of the Flame-Forged Armorsoldier.
Chao Wu opened her mouth to say something, but she didn’t have time.
The Flame-Forged Armorsoldier subconsciously raised its shield in front of it.
In the next moment, Water Pulse detonated at point-blank range!
Water-attribute energy erupted.
Its effect on the Fire-attribute Flame-Forged Armorsoldier was super effective!
“Lucario, don’t give it a chance to catch its breath!”
“Follow up with a rapid assault of Extreme Speed and Bullet Punch!”
“Incapacitate them!”
Chi Hong raised a hand and issued his commands, then began running in the direction Zoroark had pursued.
For a moment, Chao Wu didn’t know who to look at.
Lucario’s speed was too fast.
Right now, it had already landed a punch on the Judgment Horned Lion’s large head.
It was very obvious; the Judgment Horned Lion was left a bit dazed by this hit.
The Flame-Forged Armorsoldier struggled to get up.
It was in very poor condition.
If it weren’t inherently a pet beast specialized in defense, that hit just now would have already forced it to retreat into its pet beast space.
The situation grew increasingly desperate.
Chao Wu looked at Red, who had already passed her, and gritted her teeth.
“Flame-Forged Armorsoldier, hold on!”
“Work with the Judgment Horned Lion to pin down that pet beast!”
Following Chao Wu’s command, the Flame-Forged Armorsoldier struck its shield with its spear.
It held the shield in front of its body, pointed the spear straight ahead, and launched a charge!
Lucario nimbly dodged out of the way, and delivered a kick to the Flame-Forged Armorsoldier’s back!
Her two pet beasts were completely no match for this evolved pet beast!
Seeing this, Chao Wu’s expression turned cold, and she immediately made a decision.
She held her gun in her right hand, supported it with her left, and aimed directly at Chi Hong!
