The black lightning shuttled between the air blades and the venom, but its huge gray-black body seemed extremely flexible, and it could always find gaps in the impenetrable firepower network and shuttle through.
As for the other side, it was a completely different picture - Kodora's advancement speed was much slower than Kuroko's, but she didn't need to dodge all kinds of attacks flying in the air. Venom was completely ineffective against her, and the air blades couldn't even leave the slightest scratch on her.
"Golbat, go stop that dog."
Seeing a large wolfhound approaching quickly, Lance certainly couldn't let it break up his formation, so he sent his main force to stop it. He accidentally glanced at Dr. Shiratani who was in a daze, and his usually polite words couldn't help but have a hint of yin and yang:
"Dr. Shiratani, if you continue to be in a daze, we may have to go to the Alliance's prison to continue discussing the deal."
"Oh, sorry. It's just that Koda..." After being reminded, Dr. Shiratani immediately realized how fatal it would be to be distracted at such a critical moment. He could only temporarily stop thinking about the strange black Koda and concentrate on commanding.
At this time, Zubat had flapped its wings and glided above Kuroko according to its master's command. It did not give up its air advantage and engage in close combat with the opponent, but flapped its wings to throw out sharp air blades.
Although such an attack is unlikely to pose much threat to the large wolfhound, it can restrain the opponent as much as possible while ensuring its own safety.
Feeling the strong wind coming from above his head, Heizi grabbed the ground with his claws and braked suddenly, shrinking his neck and lowering his head. The wind blade brushed past his head and cut off a few gray hairs.
Having narrowly avoided the sneak attack, Heizi immediately raised his head and glared at the giant purple bat that was stranded in the sky, baring his fangs as sharp as a guillotine.
"Ah! (Come down and fight me if you dare!)"
However, in response to her provocation, Zubat simply flapped its wings and released several air blades, with a mocking look in its eyes: "Squeak. (What can you do to me if I don't come down?)"
As the two Pokémon, one in the air and one on the ground, confronted each other, Qianye's voice came from behind: "Kuroko, that thing can be used now!"
Hearing this, the wolfhound immediately shook its head upwards and opened its bloody mouth. But Zubat didn't care. It didn't dare to say that it could definitely beat the big dog below, but as long as it was careful enough not to get too close, if it wanted to pounce, this distance was enough for it to react and avoid it... What other long-range means could that guy use to attack it?
This thought persisted until it saw the mysterious ball thrown out of the wolfhound's mouth. Is that... a Poké Ball?
"Idiot! That's a thunderbolt ball, get out of the way!" The sharp-eyed Lance instantly recognized the true identity of the flying mysterious sphere, but his reminder was still a step too late. The thunderbolt ball had already begun to accumulate electricity when Heizi shook his head, and it directly released 100,000 volts after flying into the air.
The golden electric light focused on Zubat, who had no time to dodge. He endured the great pain brought by the attribute restraint and used a wing attack to knock down the flying thunderbolt ball.
The red light flashed, and the shaky Zubat was retracted. Lance couldn't help but look at the black-haired boy who issued the order. Was that tactic formulated by that guy? And from the words, it seems that he wants to use this trick directly on us...
On the other side, Kodara, who was the focus of various moves due to his large size, did not slow down his movements. An ordinary Eevee was lying on his head, and he was moving forward with great momentum. A gas bomb wanted to step forward to stop him, but was hit by an iron head and deformed in the air, leaking gas and flying dozens of meters away.
Noticing the terrifying destructive power of Kodara, Fire-type Pokémon such as Houndoom even temporarily gave up on fighting against Mashiro's Electric-type Pokémon, and fired jets of flame, intending to quickly defeat the terrifying black-armored beast by relying on the restraint of the Steel attribute.
However, before the high temperature flames hit Kodara, the Eevee on her stretched out its arms and constructed a prismatic barrier in front of it, which was the "hold" move.
The flame tongue licked the transparent protective wall, and the thin wall of light began to shake for a while, but it did not allow the various chaotic attribute energies from the outside to invade. With only Eevee's defense, it was able to withstand all the attacks.
However, "Hold" cannot be used continuously after all, and the enemy's next round of attack has already arrived. Several Arbok Snakes and Arbok Monsters dive into the ground and quickly advance along the ground. The ground-type move "Dig Hole" can also use its attribute restraint to inflict heavy damage to Steel-type Pokémon.
Even though he and Kodara don't get along well due to their personalities, Ibrahimovic couldn't help but remind him: "Buyi? (Is this okay now?)"
"K, K. (It doesn't matter. This distance should be enough.)" With a cold snort, Kodora straightened his body and suddenly raised the front half of his body. Thick ochre-colored energy began to accumulate under his two heavy iron feet.
The "Heavy Stomp" that he had learned previously in the Golden Gym, after its evolution, relied on the significant increase in weight and the further understanding of attribute energy, and finally sublimated and learned an advanced version of the move.
"Gym Master Ma Zhishi, tell your Pokémon not to resist Nancy and the others' telekinesis." Seeing Kodara raise her hand, Qianye immediately whispered to the tall man next to him.
"Ah? Oh." Although he didn't quite understand what the other party meant by this sentence, Ma Zhishi had become accustomed to following the boy's tactical actions since the battle, and he subconsciously did as he was told.
The one who reacted a little slower than Qianye was Lance on the opposite side. When he saw the terrifying power that was condensed, he quickly asked the other Zubat to return to his side, reached out and grabbed its feet, while not forgetting to pull Dr. Baitani beside him to fly together.
After him, the elite members of Team Rocket around him basically did the same thing, either quickly or slowly, using their own flying Pokémon.
Because... they were too familiar with that move that could clear the entire field in an instant and shatter the earth at the same time.
earthquake!
Kodora slammed his feet down suddenly, and the moment they touched the ground, cracks bursting with the energy of the earth spread rapidly from the center to the outside, directly covering the entire battlefield.
Even those who had flown into the sky with the help of Pokémon or telekinesis noticed the mournful sounds coming from the entire factory as it shook violently. Dust fell from the high ceiling, and cracks began to appear on the walls, as if it would collapse completely at any time.
Under this attack, Arbok and Arbok, who had burrowed into the ground and were directly bearing the impact of the earthquake, were silent and seemed to be in great danger. The rest of the poison and fire type Pokémon, which made up the majority of Team Rocket and the Evolution Association, were almost wiped out because they were restrained by ground attribute moves.
Only flying bat Pokémon, gas bombs that could float in the air, and a very small number of creatures that were at the edge of the earthquake and were less affected by the impact survived.
On the other hand, on Qianye's side, Ma Zhishi's electric Pokémon, which were also restrained by ground attributes, were all brought into the air by telekinesis without any harm thanks to the prior warning.
Thanks to Kodora's "one-click clearing", the originally suspenseful situation suddenly became clear. Lance looked down with a somewhat distressed expression. He looked at Dr. Shiratani and said:
"Dr. Shiratani, what should we do next?"
Although he said this, there was no regret in Lance's tone. He had given up the idea of evacuating from the beginning, but in order to ensure the future cooperation between the two organizations, he had to make the other party willingly make the same decision. However... the situation deteriorated much faster than he expected.
It seemed that he had figured out that if he continued to fight, not only would he not be able to complete the mission given by the organization, but he might also be trapped here. Dr. Shiratani could only grit his teeth and decide: "Then let's evacuate, but... can we take the device with us?"
He pointed to the Pokémon transporter, whose outer metal layer had been slightly damaged by the earthquake, but Lance quickly shook his head and replied:
"I'm afraid not. If it's a smaller one, I can still try. But if it's a big one, my Golbat may not be able to hold on~"
The poison-type Pokémon began to spray venom upwards, corroding a large hole in the solid ceiling. Lance grabbed Zubat's feet and waved to Qianye and his group below with a smile:
"Well, the distinguished guests from the alliance, please excuse us from accompanying you for now. And boy over there, I think you have great potential. Do you want to join our Rockets team?"
"If you come down, maybe we can discuss the treatment for joining Team Rocket." Qianye raised his head and looked directly into Lance's eyes and answered.
Zubat quickly dodged to the side, taking its master to avoid a 100,000-volt attack. Lance patted his chest in a pretentious manner, pretending to be heartbroken, and said with a hint of regret:
"Then it's better not to do that. After all, your friends are so enthusiastic... I hope we can meet alone one day and discuss private matters such as salary. Okay, goodbye everyone~"
"Damn it! Shouldn't we chase them?" Looking at Team Rocket and the Evolution Association flying away from the hole in the ceiling, Ma Zhishi frowned and his face was full of anxiety.
"Most of our Pokémon can only rely on Nancy's telekinesis to float in the air. We have no advantage in catching up and engaging in aerial combat, and..."
Qianye said as he took a long step and ran towards the tall device in the distance. Before Team Rocket flew out, he saw the researcher in the white coat press a button, and then the energy tube of the device began to flow with a turbulent current, and the outside of the device shook violently, as if some kind of self-destruct program had been activated.
"Magnemite! Please!" Seeing that he might not have enough time, Qianye threw the ball with force, and Magnemite drilled out of the flying Poké Ball and stuck directly to the machine.
The originally raging electric current seemed to be attracted by something at this moment, and it surged into Magnemite's body, gradually covering its gray surface with blue light.
The sizzling noise gradually subsided, and Magnemite, who had finished "eating", burped. The tall device that had been drained of power also luckily escaped the fate of self-destruction.
"Although I don't know what that thing is used for, but since they want to destroy it even if they evacuate, it looks like it should be a very important instrument. Let's leave it to the Alliance to study."
Qianye said this after touching the outer shell of the device to confirm that there was no abnormal movement inside.
