Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

Almost simultaneously, everyone's eyes turned to look in the direction of the little girl.

bang~

Charizard casually tossed aside the flames that had been bound.

Haoyan landed steadily.

"Thanks for your hard work, Little Smash. Come back now." Hao Yan took out his Poké Ball and retrieved Tyranitar.

"Hello, handsome brother, my name is Meizi."

The little girl saw Haoyan and walked cutely up to him.

"Hello, Meizi, my name is Haoyan." Haoyan bowed slightly to greet Meizi.

"Thank you, Brother Haoyan, for chasing away these weirdos~" Meizi said in her childish voice, thanking Haoyan.

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Haoyan!"

"Thanks to Mr. Haoyan, if it weren't for you, we might already be in trouble."

"Thank you so much!"

"Thank you!"

Every hostage spontaneously moved forward, thanks to Haoyan.

"You're too kind, everyone. It's what I should do," Haoyan said with a smile, responding to everyone's thanks.

... ...

In the distance, a large group of Flying-type Pokémon appeared in the sky.

They were all carrying people.

The alliance's support has finally arrived.

The person leading the team was Genji, the leader of the Hoenn region's Elite Four, who had met Hiroyuki several times.

The alliance's logistics department has arrived.

... ...

Chapter 157 is very, very big.

Genji stared in disbelief at the ravaged land, where many members of Team Magma were wailing in agony.

At first glance, there are nearly 200 people.

The hostages have been safely rescued.

A shocked Genji, without even a chance to greet him, asked his 'old acquaintance,' "Hiroyama, these..."

Meizi, the little girl who was following Haoyan, said loudly, "These bad guys were all defeated by Brother Haoyan's big guys."

Genji opened his eyes wide, hardly believing the little girl's words.

There are nearly 200 Team Magma here!

Can one person solve this?

Genji looked at Hiroki and asked, "Did you take care of all these Magma Teams by yourself?"

Hao Yan said dismissively, "I just happened to be here and found the Fire Rock Team causing trouble, so I took care of it."

Genji felt it was a bit of an exaggeration.

But looking around, there was no one else there besides Haoyan and the hostages.

He had no choice but to accept it.

He asked again, "Haoyan, what was that big thing the little girl was talking about?"

Hao Yan casually said, "I have a Tyranitar. It eats a lot, so it's quite big."

"The little girl probably hasn't seen Tyranitar much, so she calls him a big guy."

"Oh, I see." Genji nodded to show he understood.

He casually remarked, "The Bangira species can grow to two meters tall when they reach adulthood, and some can even reach two and a half meters."

"It's normal to have a larger appetite."

Genji was simply echoing Hiroyuki's words, offering only a few polite remarks.

The little girl, Miko, was a bit serious and said in her childish voice, "It's not two meters! I heard my dad say that Haoyan's Tyranitar is at least twelve meters tall!"

"It's very, very big~"

After she finished speaking, she gestured with her short arms.

Although he had made a wasted trip, Genji was in a good mood after learning that the hostages were safe.

He then teased the cute little girl, Miko, saying, "You must have misheard. It's not twelve meters, it's two meters."

“A typical Bangiras, when he grows up, will only be a little taller than your brother Haoyan.”

Meizi pouted, tugged at her father, and said, "Dad, please tell this white-bearded grandpa, is Haoyan's big guy twelve meters tall?"

"How could that be? I'm one of the Elite Four! I know a lot about Pokémon..."

Yuanzhi was only halfway through his sentence when he saw the little girl's father nod at him.

“Mr. Genji, that Tyranitar is indeed very big.”

"Although I don't have an accurate ruler to measure it, I can guarantee that it is definitely more than twelve meters."

“That’s right. Although I don’t know the exact height, that Tyranitar is taller than my three-story building. It must be at least twelve meters tall.”

The rescued hostages echoed his sentiments, and one of them even pointed to a footprint nearby and said to him, "Mr. Genji, this footprint was left by Bangiras."

“… …”

Genji initially didn't believe it, but when he saw the footprints, he was completely dumbfounded.

I feel like my entire worldview has been turned upside down.

One second he was saying he was one of the Four Heavenly Kings and knew a lot.

But the next second, he was proven wrong.

Haoyan noticed Yuanzhi's predicament and took the initiative to help him out.

He said to him, "Mr. Genji, could you please come over here? There's someone who needs your help."

“Okay.” Genji replied blankly and followed Haoyan to the side.

When he saw the bound flames, he was startled once again.

Genji looked at the familiar face of the flame, but this time he wasn't sure.

He proactively asked Haoyan, "Haoyan, this...this is Flame, one of the three executives of the Magma Team?"

Hao Yan nodded and said, "That's right, he led this operation."

"Arrest him while you're at it, and hand him over to you to deal with."

"By the way?"

Genji looked at Haoyan, who had a nonchalant expression on his face, and he was almost numb!

One of the three top executives of the Magma Team!

The alliance organized numerous capture operations, but none of them were successful.

I always manage to escape through this flame!

Just...just incidentally?

If this happens a few more times, wouldn't the Hoenn region be peaceful?

... ...

"Haoyan, on behalf of the alliance, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you, such an outstanding, righteous, and powerful citizen."

"I will report everything that happened here to the Alliance truthfully."

"I believe the League will definitely recognize and reward trainers like you!" Genji sincerely extended his hand to Haoyan.

"No need for commendation, just a small monetary reward would be fine."

"After all, my Bangira eats more," Haoyan said jokingly, extending his hand to shake hands with Genji.

"no problem!"

... ...

Chapter 158 Thank you, Haoyan, you saved me twice.

The Kayana Daily is a newspaper published by the local newspaper company in Kayana.

The newspaper had a small circulation but high visibility.

Most of the time, the reports mainly consist of trivial matters in Kayana.

Which family's skittish cat is mischievous? Which family's turkey has gone missing? And so on.

Newspapers have lost their appeal due to the combined impact of more convenient and intuitive television and the internet.

The Kayna City newspaper was on the verge of bankruptcy.

An editor-in-chief of the Kaina City newspaper, whose work was not usually busy, would spend his spare time paying respects to his deceased proud swallow.

As luck would have it, we happened to run into the Huoyan team's farewell ceremony at the sacred mountain.

He became a hostage of Team Magma.

He also witnessed firsthand the entire incident in which Haoyan defeated the Fire Rock Team and rescued the hostages.

Besides being grateful to Haoyan for saving his life, as an editor, he possessed an extraordinary sensitivity to news.

He quickly interviewed the other hostages at the scene and, combined with the process of his rescue, reconstructed the entire incident in writing.

Then, without delay, he sent the article back to the newspaper and arranged for the newspaper staff to publish it.
