My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 157 A Weak Woman Possessing Both Strength and Speed

Meanwhile, while Tong Hua and his group continued to climb upwards, the handsome guy and his group quickly arrived at the underground floor.

Pink Celebi, who had been here just yesterday, knew the terrain. When she worked with Riolu, who had the power of Aura, it was as if she had shown everyone the whole map.

No enemy could escape their notice, no ambush could be hidden around any corner. This combat experience of exploring the map and fighting monsters even gave them the feeling of returning to an incredible labyrinth.

With Meow Meow providing psychic support, a reliable leader like the Electric Dragon, and the Interpol agents contributing their attacks, the handsome team could practically move through an empty field.

They advanced with unstoppable momentum, quickly breaking through several lines of defense and arriving at a heavy alloy door.

"This should be it," the handsome guy said, checking the security lock on the door and reiterating it to his teammates.

"Our mission is to rescue several kidnapped researchers, including Yizhi, and to arrest Kutherroschi."

,

"Meow--""

Meowth's eyes flashed blue as it tried to use its superpowers to investigate what was behind the door, but it was bounced back by a powerful mental force.

"Meow!" Miao Miao grunted and flew backward.

"What's wrong, Meow!" Upon seeing this, Maggie immediately hugged Meow and asked with a pained expression.

"Whoa—." Riolu used its aura to probe and sensed a very malevolent aura behind the door—

"This seems to be the place. All, prepare for a full-scale assault!"

However, just as the team received the order and prepared to demolish the door, the door suddenly opened by itself. The scene that appeared behind the door made everyone gasp in horror—

A dark crystal, slightly smaller than the one at the top of the tower, floated in the center of the room. The room contained countless computers, each capable of independently controlling the Pokémon controlled by the dark crystal.

At this very moment, a large number of researchers are making final preparations, including Yi Zhi.

Their eyes were all glazed over, as if they were completely being manipulated.

"Welcome! Welcome!"

Kutherloschi stood in the center, clapping his hands and looking at the crowd with a somewhat manic expression.

His mental state was clearly not quite right, and behind him, Crobat and Super Squid King stood tall and proud.

"I've been waiting for you for so long!" Kutherloschi's voice trembled with excitement. "Interpol agents!"

Look at these beautiful control mechanisms! It's all thanks to the system developed by little brother Yizhi!

Personally, although I excel at engineering inventions, I'm not very good at operating systems.

The handsome guy and the pretty girl standing over there should understand what I'm saying, right?

Kutheroschi stared intently at Machiel, making her feel uneasy.

"You bastard! What have you done to them?!"

Kutheroschi ignored Machiel and continued talking to himself: "Compared to the half-finished combat suit, this device is the greatest masterpiece of my life!"

Using a half-baked tool like a treasure—it's a perfect match for you half-baked folks! It's absolutely fantastic!

"attack!"

While Kutherloschi was still talking non-stop, the handsome guy didn't hesitate to order his teammates to attack the control devices that filled the room.

"Ooh!"

"Moo-woo!" "La-bee!"

Interpol officers immediately opened fire, bullets and Pokémon skills raining down on the control panels around them.

Shockingly, however, all the attacks were blocked by an invisible barrier as they approached the console.

"No way!" Kutheroschi laughed maniacally. "Super Squid King! Psychic!"

"Gah!" The two slender tentacles of the Super Squid King emitted an eerie purple light and drew circles in the air.

A powerful mental shockwave struck everyone! Meow Meow hurriedly deployed a light barrier, but under the immense power of the Super Squid King, the light barrier was instantly covered in cracks!

"Everyone, don't look at those two tentacles! We need his hypnosis!"

The handsome man had already realized something was wrong; Kutheroschi and the researchers were clearly being controlled by this super squid king.

Upon hearing the handsome man's words, everyone quickly used their equipment to defend against the Squid King's superpowered attacks. At the same time, the battle in the control room was instantly ignited!

"La-hua!"

The pink shrine maiden stopped holding back, and the clear, healing bells echoed in the enclosed space, trying to wake everyone who had been hypnotized.

"Watch this!" Machiavelle flung off her uniform, revealing the E-suit she was wearing underneath. With the mask on, she resembled a humanoid Pokémon.

Machiavelle charged toward the Super Squid King like a black lightning bolt. Her E-suit granted her superhuman speed and strength, allowing her to deftly dodge the Super Squid King's tentacle attacks. Even hypnosis could not hit her ghostly figure.

"Your trick won't work on me!" Machiel shouted, and after closing in, she delivered a powerful punch to the Squid King's exposed head!

"Gah!"

The super-sized brain is arguably the most vulnerable part of the Super Squid King. Despite having superpowers to protect him, the inch-force still hits like a bullet through a mountain, inevitably causing turmoil in his brain and disrupting his thoughts.

The effect of mind control also weakened slightly in an instant!

Both power and speed!

"Let you call me a half-baked amateur!" Maggie's voice came through the mask, clear and sharp.

She used the momentum to flip backward and landed steadily, the joints of her combat suit making a slight humming sound.

"Kuseloschi. In some ways, I have to thank you."

If it weren't for you inventing this imperfect E-suit, I wouldn't be who I am today.

She slightly bent her knees, adopting an offensive stance once more, her eyes fixed on the Super Squid King, who was slightly agitated due to his injuries.

"Perhaps in your eyes I am just a puppet controlled by a combat suit, only able to exert my value when I am asleep."

But there's one thing you'll never understand! Before she finished speaking, her figure blurred again, appearing almost instantly on the side of the Super Squid King.

Kutherros's expression changed: "Stop her!"

The Super Squid King's tentacles lashed out wildly with a whooshing sound, while its two slender tentacles began to draw circles again, spreading out even stronger hypnotic ripples.

"Maquiel, watch out!" the handsome man warned urgently.

But Machiel neither dodged nor evaded; the miniature thrusters on the back of her combat suit suddenly lit up, providing an extreme short-range burst of acceleration!

She narrowly escaped through the gaps in the tentacles, the hypnotic ripples brushing past her hair without slowing her down even a fraction.

"What?!" Kutheroschi stared in disbelief.

"Actually, I don't need your half-baked operating system at all. Every movement, every exertion of force, is controlled by my own will!"

Her voice, broken and intermittent due to the rapid movement, carried an unwavering firmness: "This power may be rough, it may be clumsy, but it belongs one hundred percent to me!"

"Gah!" This was the first time the Super Squid King had encountered such an uncontrollable opponent, and he was completely enraged!

The mental energy that was originally used to control the researchers was withdrawn, and an even more terrifying mental power began to gather, about to erupt indiscriminately!

At that moment, Ampharos raised the Mega Garnet Bracelet and instantly evolved into Mega Ampharos!

"Mwah!"

A powerful thunderbolt struck straight at the Mega Squid King, while Riolu used its Aura to clear obstacles and point out the best attack path for Ampharos.

"Gah!"

Super Electric Dragon's thunderbolt struck first, successfully hitting Super Squid King and causing it to let out a miserable scream!

Taking advantage of the moment when Super Squid King's body stiffened, Machiavelle's deliberate punch slammed into Super Squid King's face! The punch knocked him out of his Mega Evolution and sent him flying!

"Gah!" The squid king flew backward and crashed heavily into the dazed Kutherroschi. The force of the huge impact embedded both of them into the wall, and they couldn't be pried out!

"Go to jail and atone for your sins."

Just as Machiavelle finally breathed a sigh of relief—

"Whoa!" Riolu suddenly warned.

Machiavel reacted immediately and dodged to the side. A venomous jet grazed past her body – a sneak attack from a Crobat hidden in the shadows!

"Gabu!"

"Whoa!" After locking onto the target with the waveguide, the sure-hit wave missile flew quickly toward the Crobat hiding in the shadows, but was neutralized halfway by the Crobat's air blade.

Mega Ampharos quickly switched targets to help Machiavelle and Riolu fight Crobat.

At the same time, the researchers, including Yi Zhi, were released from hypnosis and woke up.

"What am I doing—ah!"

Once she came to her senses, Yi Zhi looked at the computer in front of her and suddenly realized what she was doing.

"Hurry! We're Interpol, here to rescue you!" The handsome guy grabbed Yi Zhi's arm, preparing to return to the ground with the other team members to support the team on the upper level.

"No, I have to destroy this control device first! We can't let them succeed!"

"Alright then, as soon as possible!" The handsome man made a quick decision, letting the other team members take the unconscious Kutheroschi and the other researchers away first, while he and Machiel stayed behind to wait for Ichi.

Yi Zhi immediately rushed to the main control panel, his hands flying across the keyboard. The screen was filled with rapidly scrolling lines of code, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, but his eyes remained unusually focused.

This system was almost entirely designed by him, so he naturally knew best how to solve it.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Machiavelli and her friends' battle with Crobats also came to an end in an instant.

A few minutes later, the medium-sized dark crystal in the center of the room flickered violently a few times, then its light went out completely and it slowly fell to the ground.

All the computer screens that were still running went black, and the lights in the control room dimmed, leaving only the emergency lights emitting a faint glow.

The control system on the underground level was completely destroyed.

"It's a success—" Yi Zhi leaned against the control panel, exhausted, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Great job!" The handsome guy patted him on the shoulder, then looked around. "Let's retreat! There are other floors that need our support!"

"Hmm!" Machiel, dressed in her E-suit, followed closely behind Riolu, Ampharos, Meowth, and Pink Celebi.

Everyone chased after them towards the upper levels of the tower!
