Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 298 Ponpo vs. Genesect, Akromar's Trap (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The Pokémon Controller's radio waves hit Pummel precisely. This wasn't the radio waves that had spread out over a wide area before; it was at maximum power. Even Acromella hadn't tried to see what would happen if it hit Pummel.

He just needed this test subject.

So, to let the unlucky guy, Mingyou, die knowing why, he smiled and explained, "The controller is a device I specially developed to unlock the hidden potential and talents within Pokémon. As long as it emits radio waves, the Pokémon can unleash all its power and then be controlled by the controller."

"..."

"Aren't you surprised? This is the power of science. It allows you to unleash the full potential of Pokémon and control it firmly. For this experiment, I had to stay in this desolate wilderness for so long. But this is the birthplace of Kyurem, so I can extract its power and restore it more quickly."

"A bunch of born-of-the-best!"

Only then did Naruto finally understand the truth behind the Pokémon going out of control: when a Pokémon unleashes all its power and becomes uncontrollable, he takes over its body and uses mechanical devices to remotely control it.

Upon receiving Mingyou's evaluation, Acromor shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "This is just a necessary sacrifice on the road to scientific development. One day in the future, all humans and Pokémon will only thank me for my contribution in making them stronger."

"I don't want a future like that!"

Mingyou responded coldly, and Millerton also glanced at him. The next second, the electric waves that hit Ponpo suddenly dispersed and had no effect.

"Mmm!"

"What!?"

Akromar stared at the scene in disbelief. Theoretically, it was impossible. Could it be that this Pokémon's power had been developed to its limit? Such a thing should not exist.

"Mmm!"

Ponpo took out the thorny vine stick. It didn't know what was going on. It could feel a power surging within its body, disturbing its mind. But with the mask on its face that carried memories, as long as it thought about not hurting Mingyou, that feeling naturally dissipated.

Seeing that Ponpo was not under control, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief. If that's the case, then not all Pokémon can control this electromagnetic wave.

That makes things easier!

"Ponpon, smash this lab to pieces!"

Mingyou waved his hand and shouted that he could not allow this thing to continue to exist, nor could he tolerate Kyurem being used as a power bank to continuously drain energy for experiments in front of him.

"Mmm!"

Ponpo rushed forward immediately, but Acromantula smiled at that moment: "As expected, you are a special Pokémon. I want you more and more. If I can completely control you, my research will finally be completed!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the laboratory door was suddenly flung open by a powerful external force, and five flying machines rushed in. They changed shape in mid-air, transforming into giant insect-like Pokémon covered in purple metallic armor. Each one was equipped with a seemingly powerful cannon on its back, and strange cartridges of different colors were also inserted into it.

The leading metallic giant insect's body differed from the others of its kind, being painted red, clearly indicating its leadership. Its red compound eyes flashed as it shifted from high-speed flight mode to normal mode, and with a single claw strike, it stopped the attacking Ponpo...

[Genesect (Shinny): A Paleozoic Pokémon, resurrected from fossils and modified by Team Plasma. It has no independent thought, only instincts and the ability to obey commands. Gaining its affection is almost impossible.]

"Genesects... five!"

A hint of seriousness flashed across Mingyou's face; he had underestimated the Plasma Team's strength.

Akromar, arms crossed, leaned against the equipment containing the Qhorem, and said with a smile, "I got my position in the Plasma Team by modifying these. Although these guys are a bit unstable, taking care of you quickly shouldn't be a problem. And you think that's all?"

"What?"

"Just watch closely!"

Akroma clapped his hands, and the laboratory lights came on completely. As the lights shone, many glass jars containing Pokémon came into view, including Riolu.

Moreover, N was also trapped inside the glass jar in the very center, clearly as a subject of Akromma's experiment.

"Because the controller has some side effects—once a Pokémon is released from control or loses consciousness, it instantly loses all its stamina—I had no choice but to use this method to store them away, so that they can be used as combat power in certain situations..."

"Just like now!"

click-

Except for the glass jar containing N, all other glass jars shattered at this moment!

At the same time, the Pokémon inside opened their eyes, glowed red, and roared out of control before leaping out of the glass jar.

At that moment, all the Team Plasma members on the destroyer began to move, sealing off all entrances and exits of the laboratory. They did not need to go inside to participate in the battle and avoid being attacked by the out-of-control Pokémon; they only needed to guard the outside.

Among these people, Dr. Solans, who had said goodbye to Mingyou yesterday morning, was dressed exactly like the Plasma Team and had also mingled in. He joined the assembled team outside the destroyer's dormitory and headed to the perimeter of the guard laboratory...

Turning the tide, Mingyou and Ponpo faced five Genesects and so many controlled Pokémon, including even Riolu.

"Dr. Solans was right... How can I possibly do this?"

Looking at Riolu, whose eyes were glowing with a violent red light and was approaching her, Mingyou smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling somewhat isolated and helpless. If it were Xiaozhao, what would she do in this situation?

The answer is, never give up!

"Ponpon, let's go!"

Mingyou laughed and shouted, "If this situation could make him give up, then he wouldn't have risked his life to save Latias when he first faced Team Rocket a long time ago."

"Mmm!"

"Overestimating yourself. I thought you had some high moral character, sending your Pokémon to their deaths. I was planning to chat with you a little longer..."

Acromah was slightly disappointed. She waved her hand and shouted, "Kill this human, leave the Pokémon behind, and that motorcycle too!"

Genesects reacted to the sound, all five rushing towards Ponpo, while Riolu and the others also charged towards Mime without hesitation.

Akroma wanted to kill Naruto at the hands of his own Pokémon. As a trainer, he was too incompetent to be able to develop the full power of his Pokémon. Only he could give his Pokémon that power!

"Melo!"

Seeing this, Meloetta, who was in stealth mode, was extremely anxious and nudged Millerton, hoping that he could help Mingyou.

"Miller..."

Milton tilted its head, still not quite understanding why Mingyou would still stubbornly resist an opponent that was impossible to defeat.

Seeing that Milton had no intention of helping, Meloetta gave up on him and angrily turned her head away. She was going to rely on herself... She always caused trouble for Mingyou, and this time she would protect Mingyou!

"Melo!"

Meloetta appeared, placed her hands on her chest, opened her throat and slowly closed her eyes, playing an ancient song to end the battle and calm the controlled Pokémon.

The melody of the ancient song swept through the chaotic laboratory battlefield, and Meloetta's body gradually transformed into a dance form in the light. The Pokémon affected by the melody stopped in place, and the violent red light in their eyes began to fade.

"What is that!?"

Akromma finally noticed Meloetta. Before, Meloetta was either hiding in Mingyou's arms or invisible, and he hadn't noticed her until now.

"Melody Pokémon Meloetta? I think it's like Gryphon..."

He didn't have time to think about any of that. Meloetta's appearance was truly unexpected. Her singing voice could control emotions and easily calm down Pokémon that had gone out of control. This time, he was outmaneuvered.

Mingyou smiled, almost forgetting about Meloetta's ability. Now things would be much easier.

He pulled down his right shirt sleeve, just as he was about to do something, when the red Cynosectus that was attacking Ponpo suddenly changed its target!

The Genesects seemed completely unaffected by the song. Like the newly encountered Paradoxical Futures, they were devoid of emotion. They charged forward, swung their claws, and unleashed a series of slashes on Meloetta, followed by another series of slashes!

The melody stopped at this moment, and the Pokémon, who had just recovered slightly, were once again controlled by the controller. Without any hesitation, the moment Meloetta was hit by the combo for the first time, he took a step, rushed over, and hugged Meloetta tightly.

Although he rolled on the ground, preventing Meloetta, whom he was protecting, from being injured a second time, his back was still grazed by Genesect's series of slashes.

"Mmm!"

Ponpon looked over anxiously.

Milton continued to watch, still not understanding this emotion, but seeing Mingyou and Meloetta injured, a sense of anxiety welled up in its heart.

Seeing Genesect defeat Meloetta, Akromma breathed a sigh of relief and ordered Riolu to personally kill Naruto...

"Melo..."

Seeing the injured Mingyou, Meloetta endured the pain, feeling extremely anxious but helpless.

"It's okay...we'll win!"

Mingyou chuckled, picked it up and stood up, showing off the giant wristband on her right wrist. Although she had promised Xiaoyou not to use it carelessly, there was probably no more suitable time than now!

"I was originally planning to share the travel experience with Xiaozhao, but I don't want her to worry. Besides, my Riolu isn't your tool!"

As she spoke, Mingyou took out a Poké Ball and retrieved the besieged Ponpo back into it. This action puzzled Akromah: "Do you think retrieving the Poké Ball will prevent me from getting it?"

"Are you still saying things like that...?"

A flash of anger crossed Mingyou's face, and the Dynamax Band on his wrist lit up, instantly releasing an aura. He raised the enlarged Poké Ball in one hand and hurled it forcefully towards Kyurem, shouting, "My adorable Ponpo, I won't give it to anyone!"

As the Poké Ball opened, the Dynamax energy spread out completely. The red Genesect seemed to sense something and charged towards Pummel in the center without hesitation, trying to interrupt it.

But with a violent explosion and the dark purple night sky shrouded by the spread of Dynamax energy, the entire destroyer was completely pierced by the enormous Ponpo, followed by a violent explosion.

As the smoke from the explosion dissipated, the Dynamaxed Ponpo stood on the deck, like a war god, holding Kyurem, which had been rescued from the glass jar, in one hand as if it were an ice pop, and Genesect, which had just charged up, in the other hand as if it were a toy figure.

"Ugh!!!"
