The boy never thought that the next time he would see that little brown figure would be when he was in desperate situation, staring blankly at Eevee who suddenly appeared and blocked the fire for him.
"Boo... eh..."
The brown hair was instantly ignited, and the pain of burning body followed, but Ibrahimovic clenched his teeth tightly and did not even make a cry of pain.
Guanglang let out a light exclamation. He had originally thought that the intruding Eevee was just a useless Pokémon of the little devil, but he didn't expect that it could actually take a Flameblast from Houndoom head-on... It seemed like it had some value in training.
"Horga, control the output range and use Jet Flame again, and try not to kill him."
"Ah~Woo." With a howl, hot breath spewed out from its nose and mouth, and the flame ignited deep in its throat again. Its dangerous gaze was fixed on the Eevee, whose fur had several burnt spots and looked very miserable.
The burns on his body were constantly conveying pain, but Ibrahimovic just lowered his head to look at his leg. The bandage that was originally wrapped there had been burned to ashes, and a flash of regret flashed across his round eyes.
Raising her head again, Ibrahimovic knew that the vicious dog in front of her was an enemy that she could never fight against alone, but there was not a trace of cowardice or fear in her eyes, and she even roared back in a confrontational manner.
This action undoubtedly angered the already irritable Houndoom, and the fire in his big mouth became even more intense, and hot breath spurted out.
"Buyi..."
He half-knelt down on his front legs, unable to bear the pain. His lungs seemed to be suffocated by pus. The flames took away a large area of beautiful brown hair, and the remaining part also drooped weakly.
"You are pretty good. Why don't you choose to follow me? I can provide you with the best training resources and growth environment you can think of. It will definitely be much more comfortable than that poor creature lying on the ground behind you."
Guanglang took a step forward and stopped five meters away from Ibrahimovic. He leaned forward slightly and stretched out his hand with a sincere look.
"Ibra..." With trembling feet, trying hard to support its front body, Ibrahimovic raised its head, staring at the other party stubbornly with its eyes still open.
"Is that so? What a pity." After confirming something from that pair of eyes, Koro's smile disappeared completely. "Heroga, give it a quick death."
He had no intention of forcing it. A Pokémon like this that could maintain a firm will even at the moment of death, no matter how much potential it had, would only be a time bomb if he kept it by his side.
Ibrahimovic could feel the scorching air current very close to her, like a tongue of fire greedily licking her body. She knew very well that she could not survive the next wave of attacks. It had nothing to do with her faith, but her body had reached its limit.
Subconsciously, she turned her head to look behind her. The man whom she once regarded as her master lowered his head, not daring to look her in the eye. His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something but was unable to say it in the end.
But it doesn't matter anymore. She didn't come here just to continue following the other person... It's just a pity that she can't see the boy again and tell him that she has finally figured out her ideal.
"I'll help you!"
A loud shout completely drew Kōrō and Hōruga's attention away from the dying Eevee. At the end of their field of vision, a black-haired young man held an iron staff in one hand and waved his other hand in the air pointing straight ahead. His awe-inspiring aura was completely inconsistent with his immature appearance, and there seemed to be thousands of troops behind his upright body.
At his side, a grey-black wolfhound was lying dormant with its teeth bared, two scarlet eyes flashing, and its bloody mouth seemed to lead to the underworld. Even though they had not fought, he was already a little afraid.
"No, this is... the intimidating nature of the big wolfhound!" Guanglang, who was feeling a little breathless from the suppression, finally realized the problem. He quickly reached out to comfort the Houndoo who was standing on end beside him. At the same time, he looked at the big black dog opposite with fear in his eyes.
While being a Pokémon hunter, he could also barely be considered an amateur Pokémon scholar. He was familiar with the Pokémon Wolfhound, which was not a very outstanding Pokémon in terms of racial potential. Even with a powerful racial trait like Intimidation, it was difficult for it to make a name for itself.
But there was something wrong with the big wolfhound in front of him! This intimidation was so powerful that it made people hallucinate. At least he had never seen such a talented intimidator before.
The person who could cultivate this kind of Pokémon was actually just a child who looked no more than ten years old? No... not necessarily, maybe he just used the Pokémon of his elders at home.
After pushing his glasses and realizing the truth, Guanglang calmed down a lot. After all, he was a Pokémon hunter who had been at large for many years, so he wouldn't lose to such a young child.
Although he had heard that one of his colleagues had fallen into the hands of a kid, and had used this incident to persuade Yamada to be more cautious, the kind of guy who could be defeated by a kid was nothing more than an arrogant fool who lacked vigilance. How could they, the experienced hunters,...
My eyes suddenly caught the iron staff held by the person opposite me, and I felt an inexplicable sense of weirdness.
That looks like Yamada's cane, right?
"Heizi, bite it to pieces!"
Qianye keenly caught the moment when Guanglang was stunned, and without hesitation, he directly ordered Kuroko to use the moves he had just learned after evolution.
Upon hearing this, the giant wolfhound that had been accumulating strength for a long time shot out like a black arrow, revealing rows of guillotine-like fangs. The black evil power surging and gathering on them was even more terrifying.
"Don't be afraid of Houndoom! Fight back with Jet Fire!"
After reacting, Guanglang also hurriedly ordered Houndoom. The effect of intimidation is to shock the opponent with momentum, so that he cannot exert his strength, which greatly weakens the power of physical moves.
But his Houndoom relies more on the special attack moves launched by the powerful fire energy in his body, which is the so-called special attacker. Intimidation is meaningless to them.
"Howl!" Seeing the big wolfhound rushing towards him, Houndoom was a little frightened, but he could not disobey his master's orders. He took a deep breath and spewed out flames again.
The flames were so close that it was impossible to change direction at this distance. She had to either stop in time or withstand the heat flow to complete the attack... Faced with this dilemma, Kuroko chose C!
He pushed forward with his two front paws and his body instantly flew into the air. The flames passed under him, only burning a few gray hairs on his belly.
"!"
Guanglang was so shocked that his glasses almost fell off his nose. Flame Jet is a fire-type move that does not require charging, has a fast firing speed and a large attack range, and is almost impossible to dodge within a medium distance. Who would have thought that this big wolfhound could maintain such flexibility at such a speed.
In mid-air, Kuroko's scarlet eyes were fixed firmly on the man with glasses below. Qianye had instructed... to get rid of the trainer first.
"Heroga, stop it!"
Taking a step back at the malicious gaze, Korou ordered Houndoom to stand in front of him while trying to take out other Pokémon from his pocket.
"Ah..." Houndoom reluctantly took a step towards Kuroko who was about to land. Seeing the row of fangs shining with cold light, his body trembled unconsciously.
"Close range, direct fire abyss!"
Guessing that Houndoom couldn't dodge this bite, Kourou gritted his teeth and simply let Houndoom use the most powerful move he knew in order to exchange injuries for damage.
"Crack." One of its front paws was pierced by sharp teeth, and a section of the leg bone seemed to be crushed under the heavy pressure. The severe pain from all ten fingers to the heart almost caused Houndoom to disperse the fire energy that he had just condensed, and the wailing sound continued.
"Heizi, retreat first."
Qianye was not in a hurry to pursue the victory. Houndoom was preparing a move that was to wrap the enemy in concentrated and sublimated flames. It had terrifying power and could inject fire energy into the body, putting the enemy into a "burned" state.
While having such a powerful effect, this move also has obvious shortcomings. In pursuit of power, the highly concentrated flame sacrifices the striking range, and accuracy is naturally difficult to guarantee. That is to say, it can only ensure a stable hit in this close-range state.
Although his intention was discovered, Koro was not in a hurry. He watched as pillars of fire surged from Houndoom's body, but the attack was in vain because the wolfhound retreated in time. In the first round of fighting, he suffered a big loss, but forcing the opponent to retreat gave him time and space to release other Pokémon.
Red light flashed, and five more Pokémon appeared in front of him one after another.
Humph, so what if I have such a high-quality Pokémon? How many Pokémon can a little kid with little experience have in his pocket? Now it's the majority bullying the minority, and the advantage is mine!
Just as Guanglang was thinking this, a noisy sound came into his ears. It seemed to come from all directions, dozens of different sounds mixed together, making it impossible to distinguish what was going on.
At the same time, the ground began to shake, and several cracks spread outward with the young man as the center, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
"Squeak~~" A Zubat flew out from the shadows, flapping its wings, and landed directly on Qianye's shoulder.
As if some signal had been sounded, hundreds of squeaks were heard in the cave, and surging purple clouds slowly rose behind Qianye.
Not only the bat Pokémon! The cracked ground was completely broken at this moment, with round holes opening up and purple snakes with golden rings poking their heads out. Dozens of boulders with hands hugged their bodies and rolled forward, arriving at the end.
The most representative Pokémon of the Tsukimizan Cave have all gathered here at this moment. There are so many Pokémon that they are countless, surrounding the black-haired boy in the center, as if they are supporting their "king".
I don't know when it started, but Eevee's sight passed through the Pokémon hunter and his Pokémon, and was completely taken away by the black-haired boy who was surrounded by a group of Pokémon in human form. There was a crystal light flashing in his round pupils, and the pain in his body was completely forgotten.
"This... is a joke."
Guanglang felt cold sweat on his head, his mouth twitching but he couldn't utter a single command. The Pokémon he had just released also turned their heads to look at their masters, and silence was more powerful than words.
"...retreat!"
…
Qianye did not pursue the Pokémon hunter relentlessly. Firstly, there were several seriously injured Pokémon at the scene that needed treatment. Secondly, even if he had the advantage in numbers, the Pokémon hunter's endless despicable tactics might cause casualties to the children behind him. Since he left Eevee and the others behind, there was no need for him to fight to the death.
What's more, it has been so long since he called the police. Miss Junsha's police team has probably surrounded Yuejian Mountain several times. The Pokémon hunter would hardly be able to escape from here even if he had wings.
He glanced at the boy who had finally regained feeling in his legs and was able to stand up. When the boy noticed Qian Ye's gaze, he suddenly felt ashamed. He bent down and lowered his eyebrows, not daring to meet his eyes.
What could he say? He was the one who beat and scolded Ibrahimovic and drove him out of the team, but when they were at the end of their rope, it was Ibrahimovic who desperately stood in front of him. He even thought about shouting for Ibrahimovic to run away, but because he was afraid of death, his words were eventually blocked by cowardice.
Without any intention of scolding the other party, Qianye quickly retracted his gaze, walked quickly to Ibrahimovic, bent down and began to bandage him again.
"Boo... eh..."
Hearing Ibrahimovic's words, Qianye was slightly stunned, then smiled and said:
"I see, have you figured out what you really want?"
"Buyi...Buyi..."
"I want to protect all the weak humans and Pokémon, and always stand in front of them when they are in danger... It's a great ideal, but it can't be achieved so easily."
He stroked Ibrahimovic's head gently with his hand. As he had expected, it was a kind-hearted child. Perhaps it could never learn any attacking moves because it didn't want to hurt anyone instinctively.
Feeling the warmth above her head, Eevee raised her head, and the Qianye in her eyes seemed to be shrouded in brilliance. He saved her, enlightened her, and at the moment when the Pokémon appeared in her sight like saviors, he also let her see her ideal future.
If she was just a knight who followed her creed, then the other party was a wise king who was kind and righteous and worthy of her assistance until death!
Her eyes became firm, and Ibrahimovic gently pushed away Qianye's bandaged hand, swaying her body and forcing herself to stand up. Then, she looked up at Qianye, her eyes full of solemnity, bent her front leg and looked down, and bent the other front leg to the position of her heart, as if she was performing some kind of ritual.
"Bu-yi-bu-yi..."
I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise master. Now that I have met you, it is like seeing the sun after the clouds have cleared, and my mind has been opened. If you don't abandon me, I am willing to serve as...
Under Qianye's somewhat confused gaze, Ibrahimovic was unable to finish her last lines. Due to the injuries on her body and the ups and downs she had experienced, her body was no longer able to resist the sudden surge of fatigue.
His body swayed like a candle in the wind, and finally lost support and fell into a warm embrace.
