Chapter 88 Qingyu used the Dragon Star Cluster? (Please continue reading!)

As Qingyu stared in astonishment at Milton, who stood proudly on the sand below, Milton quickly noticed the gaze directed at him from above.

However, after noticing the humans observing it, it quickly looked away, still managing to navigate the menacing Deruby encirclement with ease.

"Wang Woo!"

After a long standoff, one of the young Derubis finally lost its composure and, after letting out a long howl, immediately pounced toward Millerton!
With the first one taking the lead, a group of Derubis followed suit, attacking Millerton who had not made any defense.

Standing in a perfect vantage point above the cave, Qingyu couldn't help but feel a chill for Milton.

While it is indeed the cover god, it also possessed strength far exceeding that of other Pokémon during its prime.

But right now, this Millerton should still be in a weakened state...

I don't know if I can fight off a group of people.

This Milton is a key Pokémon throughout the main storyline of "Sapphire and Purple," and its existence is directly related to the accident that occurred in Area Zero.

To delve deeper into Sector Zero and uncover what the doctor couple did, this Millerton is indispensable.

If possible, Qingyu would certainly lend a helping hand.

However, he is currently at least ten meters below, and there are only two options for him to go down.

Either break through the entire territory where Derubi lives and go down through the cave connecting the two ends;

Either fly down with your Rotom phone in your pocket, and then find yourself in the same predicament of being besieged.

Neither option is wise.

Even though Riolu has grown very quickly during this period, it is still almost impossible for it to deal with the large group of Dewpi and the possible leader Houndoom.

Qingyu would never allow his companions to be put in danger because of his ideas; this was his bottom line as a trainer.

Just as Qingyu was pondering, Milton took the initiative.

The hadron engine in its chest, which had been completely extinguished, restarted and instantly emitted countless currents.

Before the attacks of the Derubis could land, a wave of energy, brimming with electrical power, surged outwards from Millerdon's center.

The Derubis caught in the electric current collapsed to the ground, their bodies beginning to convulse.

It's clear they've fallen into a state of paralysis.

"Discharge?"

Qingyu was slightly taken aback, then immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The move Millerdon just used was an electric-attribute special move called Discharge, which has a very large range.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.

Even with almost no fuel left in the tank, the legendary Pokémon's combat power is far superior to that of ordinary Pokémon.

The extremely weakened Millerdon was just weak enough that a single electric shock wouldn't be fatal, but it would temporarily incapacitate them.

We should be safe for now, right?

However, just as Qingyu took out his Rotom phone, Riolu grabbed his clothes from behind.

"road!"

Riolu's expression was extremely serious, even more so than before, which made Qingyu immediately realize that something was wrong.

"Ouch——!"

A loud bark broke the brief silence.

Just as Milton finished dealing with all the Derubis and exposed his energy depletion, a much larger and more ferocious-looking vicious dog leaped out of the cave entrance.

It is none other than Houndoom, the leader of the Dewpie!
"road……"

The old cunning creature that had been hiding in the cave finally revealed itself, and Riolu released his grip on the hem of Qingyu's robe.

From the very beginning, it sensed the presence of this Houndoom through its aura and could clearly perceive that the aura within its body was very strange.

Riolu only realized what was happening when it noticed the layer of crystal fragments covering Houndoom's body.

"Too crystalline?!"

Qingyu also noticed the unusual behavior of this Houndoom.

His entire body was encased in heavy crystal armor, and the crystal on his head displayed the symbol of the earth.

It's clearly a symbol for Taijing ground!

The phenomenon of crystallization on Pokémon dates back much earlier than humans have observed it.

As early as 150 years ago, people were already able to find Pokémon that had entered the crystallization stage near the zeroth area.

Although this phenomenon will dissipate on its own after leaving Zone Zero, it will still take some time.

This Houndoom has clearly been in Sector Zero recently.

Is it because of the presence of Taijing energy that Milton, who was expelled from Zone Zero, appeared near this cave?
Qingyu seemed to understand everything.

However, there is another small problem right now—

How do we deal with this Houndoom?
After unleashing an electric attack, Milton's stamina was clearly insufficient to use any more moves, and the other Mastiff Godfather was in the same state. If it were a 1v1, what were their chances of winning against Riolu?

"road!"

Seemingly sensing the trainer's dilemma, Riolu quickly interrupted his thoughts with a sound.

Riolu's gaze fell upon the arrogant Houndoom below.

If it's the only one, the battle might be difficult, and there's a chance of getting hurt...

But as a future waveguide messenger, this is the perfect stage to showcase his cultivation!
Houndoom is nothing special!

Riolu's eyes sharpened.

Having read its inner thoughts, Qingyu couldn't help but show an expression of appreciation and gave it a thumbs up.

"Then, I choose you, Riolu!"

"road!"

Qingyu's passionate voice immediately drew the attention of Millerton and the Mastiff Godfather.

At the same time, Houndoom also noticed the person and Pokémon above.

"Riolus, Vacuum Wave!"

Qingyu pointed downwards, commanding Riolu to use the fruits of its training.

Vacuum Wave, a rare ranged attack move in Fighting-type moves, is also the most basic use of Aura.

Riolu clasped his hands together, and an invisible wave of energy rapidly gathered between his hands from within his body. Soon, a pure blue energy light appeared and continued to gather and expand with his movements.

After the force of rotation was applied, the calm energy quickly began to surge and become violent, as if it might break free of control at any moment.

Qingyu was stunned when she first saw it use this move.

What vacuum wave? This is just a Rasengan!

Is this the result of your training at the Isle of Armor Dojo? No wonder Vacuum Wave is a preemptive move...

However, he had never actually witnessed the true power of this move.

At least Qingyu had already made a plan. As long as he used this move to attract Houndoom's hatred, and if Riolu couldn't win, he would immediately grab it and run for his life towards Key Town, giving Milton and Mastiff a chance to escape.

Wild Pokémon generally never set foot in human territory unless they completely lose their minds.

This can be considered as exploiting a bug.

Upon hearing the human voice, Houndoom below paused for a moment, then immediately revealed a mocking smile.

Would a Pokémon of this level dare to challenge me?

"Ouch!"

Houndoom braced itself on all fours, preparing to gather its strength and use its signature move, Flamethrower, to take down the troublesome creature above in one fell swoop.

however……

at this time.

A piercing shriek suddenly echoed from the sky, and the bright midday sun quickly disappeared from Houndoom's sight, even affecting its efficiency in condensing fire-attribute energy.

With a confused expression, Houndoom suddenly looked up.

A giant meteor appeared in the sky at an unknown time, falling towards the ground at a terrifying speed. The terrifying dragon-attribute energy contained within it was enough to scorch the air, producing a strange crackling noise.

And the direction in which this meteor fell...

It seems like this is exactly where I am?

Houndoom didn't even have time to continue thinking.

The next moment, the meteor, falling at almost supersonic speed, crashed down, its unparalleled pressure leaving a shocking crater in the ground in an instant.

The remaining dragon-attribute energy transformed into a dragon's roar that lingered in the air before disappearing after a long while.

???

Qingyu subconsciously looked at Riolu and immediately noticed the energy ball that it was still rubbing in its hand.

Thankfully, that move wasn't actually made by Riolu, otherwise he would have seriously doubted whether his Riolu had transformed into Mew...

Wait a minute? No, that's not right!
If it wasn't Riolu, then who fired this thing that looks like a dragon star?
It's not like I can just point my finger and have Long Xingqun attack on his own, is it?
Qingyu used the Dragon Star Cluster?

This is not funny, kids.

Qingyu's lips twitched, and she subconsciously looked in the direction the meteor had fallen.

A dark shadow appeared beneath the blinding midday sun in the cloudless sky.

Its body is slender and resembles a giant python. The energy gathered in its mouth quickly condenses into another meteorite that is no smaller than the previous one.

About two inches above that half-open, blood-red maw, a dark golden eye was staring straight at him.

The black Rayquaza that he had glimpsed by chance during his last camping trip had actually appeared in front of him on its own!
I told you this black Rayquaza would occasionally make its appearance, but I doubt anyone would have guessed this way! *(ˊωˋ*)*

Why would it help our protagonist?
