Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

"Lucario!" Enraged, Lucario stomped the ground, leaving a footprint, and immediately rushed to the side of Murata of Team Rocket, who had been hit by Gardevoir's Psychic Beam and was already unconscious.

Then, aiming for his chest, she stomped down hard!

Crack! The sound of bones breaking rang out!

Lucario, already in a frenzy, was exerting considerable force, and on top of that, he was wearing 30KG of heavy protective gear on his feet.

With one stomp, he crushed the Rockets' chest, killing him while he was unconscious!

That wasn't enough for Lucario; he wanted to rush out immediately and kill all the Team Rocket members!

A little fire dragon full of wildness, though its strength is lacking!

But he didn't hesitate either, wanting to rush out like Lucario and burn all those Team Rocket members to death!

"Xiao Ou, Xiao Long, I'm alright!"

"Come help me!" Hao Yan was afraid that Lucario and Charmander would get hurt in their impulsiveness, so he quickly asked them for help.

Enraged, Lucario immediately abandoned the now-dead Team Rocket members and cautiously approached Haoyan's side.

The little fire dragon looked at Haoyan immediately, just like the others.

Hao Yan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Lucario and Charmander, whom he had summoned back.

He said, "Xiao Ou, go and guard the passageway. Don't let anyone from outside in."

Upon hearing this, Lucario suppressed his rage and silently walked into the corridor, his Aura spreading outwards.

He stared intently into the dark corridor, ready to unleash his fists on anyone who dared to enter.

"Xiao Lu, take out the first aid kit from your backpack and help me stop the bleeding."

With Gardevoir's help, Hao Yan sat down.

Gardevoir immediately went to rummage through her backpack.

Then, Haoyan took off the searchlight from his head and handed it to Little Dragon, saying to him, "Little Dragon, use this light to shine on my back."

Charmander quickly grabbed the spotlight and shone it on Hao Yan's back to make it easier for Gardevoir to maneuver.

Gardevoir took out scissors from the first-aid kit and cut open Hao Yan's clothes on the back.

Under the spotlight, the wounds were shocking to behold.

I almost couldn't hold back my tears.

Haoyan was injured because he protected her with his body at a critical moment.

If he hadn't been worried about her getting hurt, he could have easily dodged it with his agility.

It doesn't have to be like it is now.

"Haoyan has become like this entirely because of me!" Gardevoir thought sadly.

"Xiao Lu, now is not the time to think about these things." Although he didn't see Gardevoir's face, he could sense her emotions because he was connected to her.

"That's right, now is not the time to think about these things!"

"The most important thing right now is to treat Haoyan!"

Gardevoir took a deep breath, suppressing its emotions just like Lucario.

First, pour hydrogen peroxide onto Haoyan's back to remove the dust, then use tweezers to remove the small stones embedded in his flesh.

Finally, apply a potent recovery powder and carefully wrap it with a bandage.

Throughout the entire treatment process, Haoyan endured the pain without making a sound.

However, Gardevoir noticed the subtle details: the body's subconscious tension and the fists clenched so tightly they turned white.

Gardevoir tried her best to hold back her tears.

... ...

At this moment, outside the cave.

The explosion rang out as Team Rocket had expected, but Gardevoir did not use Teleport to emerge from the cave at the entrance.

Murata, who was supposed to be the vanguard, did not come out either.

Several mournful cries could be heard from inside the cave.

One of the team members said, "Captain Yoshimura, although it didn't go as planned, that kid didn't use Teleport to bring Gardevoir out."

"But you heard it just now, his Pokémon were screaming so pitifully, so that kid, or his Pokémon, must have been seriously injured."

"What are we waiting for? Let's go in and take that kid down!"

At this moment, another team member whispered, "Yeah, Captain, that kid Murata has been in there for so long and still hasn't come out."

"There might be some danger inside, let's hurry in and rescue him."

"If we're too late, Murata might be dead!"

Yoshimura glanced at his remaining teammates and said with a sneer, "Is Murata in danger?"

"That's all the credit we've earned. If we divide it among five people, each person will get a little less. If we divide it among four people, each person will get a little more."

"Do you want more credit, or less credit?"

Under Yoshimura's cold laughter, the remaining three team members looked at each other, not daring to utter a sound.

Seeing that the others dared not speak, Yoshimura sneered again at the two team members who had spoken earlier and said, "Also, I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"

"I don't like talkative people, you all know that, right?"

This caused the team members to break out in a cold sweat, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to meet Yoshimura's gaze.

Yoshimura turned his gaze back to the entrance of the cave.

To be honest, he's not very brave to go directly into the cave right now.

Because their entire squad was nicknamed the suicide squad!

His team members were all carrying lightning orbs.

In such a narrow cave, it is not suitable to use self-destruction, because doing so could potentially injure themselves.

Yoshimura was the only one carrying two Black Luganks.

The situation inside the cave is currently unclear, and Yoshimura is hesitant about whether to enter now.

This hesitation gave Haoyan ample time.

... ...

Chapter 63 begins, the counterattack.

"Xiao Lu, thank you for your hard work." After taking the blood-replenishing and coagulating agent, Hao Yan's face gradually became rosy.

"Shanai~"

Gardevoir looked at Haoyan with tears of emotion welling up in her beautiful eyes.

Haoyan's subconscious action just now made her feel both heartache and gratitude.

"Silly girl..." Haoyan gently patted her cute little head and stood up.

"Awoo~ Awoo~" When the little fire dragon saw that Haoyan was alright, it came over and circled around Haoyan.

"Thank you for your hard work just now, Little Dragon~" Haoyan smiled at the little fire dragon.

"Alright, it's time to retaliate!"

Haoyan raised his hand; although the wound was still painful, it didn't significantly affect his movement.

With Haoyan's words, the entire cave turned to freezing cold.

Gardevoir's pretty face lost its usual gentle smile.

Lucario, who was guarding the distance, raised his aura again, his face cold and stern.

Even the little dragon grinned, revealing sharp teeth, and the flames on its tail blazed fiercely.

... ...

Time passed second by second, and the sun gradually began to set in the west.

The Evergreen Forest has a large number of trees, and it begins to darken at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Outside the cave.

"You three, go ahead and scout ahead!"

"Let's go, let's enter the cave!" Yoshimura could no longer resist and wanted to go into the cave to take a closer look.

He had waited for two hours, which was his limit.

He commanded three soldiers to lead the way.

... ...

Inside the cave.

Haoyan, with three Pokémon, was not far from the cave entrance.

"Haoyan, they've started moving."

"Three of them are already at the cave entrance, probing in our direction." Gardevoir sensed the presence of the group lying in ambush at the cave entrance and began to move towards them.

"Can't wait any longer, wanting to go into the cave and find out what's going on?" A cruel smile crept onto Hao Yan's lips.

This is the moment he's been waiting for.

If the other side chooses to enter the cave, their previous ambush will fall apart.

Once inside the cave, within its narrow confines, the relationship between hunter and prey shifts.

The cave passages are narrow; if the enemy dares to use self-destruction, they themselves will be the first to die.

The purpose of deliberately staying in the cave for so long is to make the opponent think that they or their Pokémon are seriously injured and have no fighting ability, thus numbing the opponent.

Even if the other party doesn't come in, Haoyan isn't in a hurry to leave, since the injury on his back hasn't healed yet.

The backpack also contains a large amount of food; the longer the stalemate lasts, the more advantageous it will be for him.
