Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

Page 497

"Let's do it this way."

He began directing the Blaziken to make final, just-in-a-lifetime preparations.

"Judging by the time, we should be arriving soon."

Tetsuya's eyes were full of calm.

In stark contrast, two poachers were barely surviving on the other side of the battlefield.

In the battle of three incredibly powerful Pokémon, the two trainers, who had no Pokémon to protect them, were like ants.

Not only were their disguise masks falling off, but their entire bodies were covered in wounds, and their clothes were almost tattered.

The only saving grace is that at least I'm still alive.

Chapter 486 Mega Salamence, the Dragon Elder's Special Ability

"Damn it, the Rockets are a bunch of lunatics!"

Hunter R looked at the two bird spirits above his head and felt completely bewildered.

As the leader of a well-known poacher team with a certain ambition, she certainly knew the names of the three legendary birds and what they looked like.

Little did she know that while she was setting her sights on capturing the three legendary birds, Team Rocket had already begun conducting genetic experiments on them.

And you can tell at a glance that it's not the kind of thing that's done carelessly.

She had mistakenly thought that the Team Rocket member had given her a Dark Ball from Bishas, and wondered why a Dark Ball looked no different from a regular Poké Ball.

All things considered, there are two monsters like these inside.

"Luckily, we didn't do it when the third brother suggested letting him out to see, otherwise..."

Hunter K dodged the intertwined flames and lightning, feeling both incredibly grateful and incredibly resentful of the hunter P who had covered their retreat.

He felt that his eldest son's decision to sell off the third son was absolutely the right one.

This kind of guy shouldn't be a partner.

God, let's see this! This is deadly!

"I think I'm going to fail this time. What bad luck."

The two of them were still cursing and swearing under these circumstances, which, it must be said, shows they had an excellent mindset.

Having been poachers for so long, they were prepared to go to jail.

Anyway, according to the League's laws, staying alive shouldn't be a big problem.

Compared to their current precarious situation, the two poachers would rather be taken away by the Alliance now, at least their safety would be guaranteed.

"I still have a lot of intelligence on the Rockets. If I hand it over, I might be able to get a good outcome."

Hunter R has already begun to plan how to make the best use of the information he has, if he can survive.

"Yes."

Hunter K looked at her with a forced smile.

Suddenly, the two separated as if by unspoken agreement and began to dodge the attack from above.

The moment they realized they couldn't leave, they made the most self-serving decision.

"What a ruthless person."

Tetsuya, who was not far away, was secretly amazed by the actions of the two.

No wonder he's a madman who dares to periodically attack Baiyin Mountain.

After the other party's disguise mask fell off, Tetsuya immediately recognized their identities.

After all, the Gul poaching group was quite notorious in the city area.

He just hadn't expected that the Rockets would be able to mobilize all three of its leaders at the same time.

Although each of them is no match for Hunter J, the cost of these three leaders acting together might be higher than hiring Hunter J.

"But it looks like there won't be any good shows to watch at Silver Mountain this year."

Zhe also unconsciously began to drift off into thought.

As for why...

Isn't that obvious? With the three leaders gone, what can those lackeys do?

Despite being called leaders, the Gul poaching group was loosely organized; these three guys only controlled the vast majority of the power.

Without constraints, disintegration is a matter of minutes.

"Speaking of which, could it be that Giovanni is using this opportunity to try and control the poacher groups in both regions? Did those three idiots really fall for it?"

Tetsuya felt that his idea was very likely true.

Incidentally, Team Rocket can also test the combat capabilities of those two two-headed birds.

That's so typical of the Rockets!

"I'll ask Kojiro later and see if he's received any poaching missions recently."

He quickly came up with an idea.

If the Rockets want to expand, Kojiro will definitely be the first to participate in the relevant actions.

To put it bluntly, this could be considered part of his seniority with the Rockets.

He is, after all, the eldest son of the Sasaki family, so it's not unreasonable for him to have some privileges.

If that's the case, the Rockets' exaggerated speed is much faster than he imagined.

"I really want to know just how strong Mewtwo is."

Tetsuya couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In terms of timing, the Rockets were making their big moves right around the time of the birth of Draymond Green.

He absolutely refused to believe that the two were unrelated.

Prior to this, the Rockets' actions had never been so extreme as to casually target mythical creatures.

"ga"

A horrible scream rang out.

A two-headed monster bird, Zapdos, had its head firmly gripped by one of Dragonite's claws.

Zapdos's eyes were almost completely white, and it looked like it was about to suffocate.

Feeling the terrible state of its body, Moltres, which should be considered a symbiotic partner, could no longer sit still.

Flames erupted from its mouth as it pecked at the Dragonite.

"Snapped"

A flash of silvery-white light struck the Moltres's head directly in the face, sending it flying.

The tendency for the neck to separate from the body caused both heads to scream in agony simultaneously.

With a swing of its claws, the spinning force twisted the two-headed monster bird into a ball, like a pretzel.

With a slight flap of its small wings, Dragonite, having instantly caught up with the two-headed monster bird, slowly raised its right foot in the air, much like kicking a soccer ball.

"boom--"

The two-headed bird was blasted straight into the ground, its fate unknown.

"Not here yet?"

Tetsuya's expression gradually changed from calm to somewhat anxious.

This is different from what Xiaochun said.

Wasn't it said that Elder Dragon would arrive within fifteen minutes if something happened? It's been almost twenty minutes already.

Looking at the burrows dug by the Blaziken behind him, Tetsuya swallowed hard.

If all else fails, I can only pray that Dragonite won't be able to find me burrowing underground and won't use moves like Earthquake.

After all, its brain probably isn't working very well when it's in a rebellious state.

And when one of the two-headed monsters created by genetic technology is defeated, the fate of the other one is self-evident.

Under Dragonite's barrage of punches and circles, the second two-headed monster bird was completely disoriented in the sky.

In just two or three minutes, it followed in the footsteps of its companion.

Inside two huge craters on the ground, two "elves" with unusually contorted bodies were breathing, barely able to exhale.

"Is it time?"

Tetsuya raised an eyebrow and secretly stopped the timer.

Eleven and a half minutes, unexpectedly long.

He thought the two elves wouldn't last five minutes before their genes collapsed.

Surprisingly, despite the Dragonite's repeated attacks, they managed to hold out for a long time.

"No, it's also possible that they used technology similar to the Dark Sphere to heal injuries with life force. In any case, for a two-headed monster bird with genetic defects, lifespan is meaningless."

Tetsuya quickly thought of another possibility.

Regardless of the reason, the fact that the Rockets have such a man-made object is extremely bad news for the league.

This shows that those high-ranking officials with assigned numbers truly possess the power to compete with the champion in a short period of time.

I just don't know how much it will cost.

If the numbers aren't high, the higher-ups in the Kanto and Johto alliances will have a real headache.

"Come back, Pidgeot."

Thinking this, Tetsuya also recalled the only Pokémon that was not easy to hide into its Poké Ball.

Although Pidgeot objected and hoped to stay outside so it could escape with its leader if anything happened, it didn't believe that Pidgeot could evade Dragonite's pursuit in its current state.

While Dragonite was dealing with the two poachers, Tetsuya quickly ran behind a boulder, intending to crawl underground through the hole there to hide for a while.

"Roar--"

Not far away, a roar unlike that of Dragonite rang out.

Tetsuya's eyes lit up as he entered the cave with half his body inside.

"Very strong."

Blaziken's Aura and Gallade's Psychic powers immediately responded.

"Dragon Star Cluster!"

An old voice that sounded somewhat familiar to Tetsuya resounded through the sky.

He climbed out of the cave and looked up into the distance.

Above the elves, enveloped in orange light, stood an old woman leaning on a cane, her body steady.

As if sensing Tetsuya's gaze, the old woman looked at him and smiled.

Zhe unconsciously swallowed.

Elder Dragon, you're so powerful.
