Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

"Oops!"

His expression changed repeatedly: "Blazing Roaring Tiger, get out of the way!"

"Roar"

The Blazing Roaring Tiger, its palms gleaming with orange light, was somewhat bewildered.

No, it's not something you can just hide from.

But sensing the powerful energy coming from the other side, it still forcibly controlled its body to change direction.

"boom--"

A huge explosion rang out in this remote corner.

The Fiery Roaring Tiger's powerful body arced gracefully through the air.

Then it landed heavily next to Yozo.

"Fiery Roaring Tiger, are you alright?"

"Roar"

He responded to his trainer's question with a fairly strong roar.

The universe's number one roaring tiger was clearly somewhat frustrated.

"Wow, not bad!"

Looks like you're pretty strong!

The obese man uttered a disgusting exclamation.

Yozo's complexion was not good.

"You really don't treat your own elf like an elf."

There was one more thing he didn't say.

That means not valuing your own life.

That's why I say that.

the reason is simple.

The high-five attack is similar to skills like lightning speed, feint, and lightning flash; it is used at extremely high speed and takes very little time to hit the opponent.

In gaming terms, it has a very high priority.

With Incineroar's hidden ability Intimidate, it should logically be able to attack the opponent first since it's the first to enter the fray.

Even if the opponent sends out elves, they will still get beaten.

Therefore, Ye Zang confidently commanded the Blazing Roaring Tiger to launch an attack.

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

Even if the opponent is strong, a Fiery Roaring Tiger that comes close is not something a human can deal with.

What I never expected was...

The opponent actually let his Pokémon gather power inside the Poké Ball to use a move.

Moreover, it's a self-destruction tactic that inflicts heavy damage on both the enemy and oneself.

If you don't time it right, you might not be able to hold it in inside the Poké Ball and it might explode, and your opponent won't have a good outcome either.

"What a madman."

Cold sweat broke out on Yozo's forehead.

It is certainly frightening that the opponent can anticipate the timing and circumstances of his attack.

But what's even more frightening is this indifferent attitude.

Having completed numerous bounty missions, he believed he had some understanding of trainers in the wild.

This kind of madman is someone no one wants to face.

"Who exactly are you?"

Ye Zang asked in a cold voice.

He already had some guesses in his heart.

"Oh dear~"

He was just a kind-hearted trainer passing by, why did you attack him like that?

The chubby man squinted his small eyes and said.

He completely ignored the gas bomb lying on the ground, badly injured.

Ye Zang's face twitched violently.

This guy is disgusting.

"Slash the commander, use a sneak attack on vital points."

This time, he chose to have another partner launch the attack.

Compared to the Fire/Dark type Incineroar, the Dark/Steel type Slicer Commando is obviously much easier to deal with in the face of a possible gas bomb self-destruction.

The resistance to normal types, plus the increased physical defense after using Iron Wall.

Even at the epicenter of the self-destruction, Commander Pi Zhan remained completely unafraid.

no way.

For elves, the level difference is still quite significant.

Even the most elite-level gas bombs, despite their powerful self-destruction, still caused relatively limited damage to the near-King level Slash Commander.

This is especially true given the multiple weakening measures.

Commander Pi Zhan nodded silently.

His figure transformed into a black shadow and disappeared into the surrounding bushes.

For a moment, even as a trainer, Yozo didn't know from what angle or at what time it would launch an attack.

"Oh dear~ I'm so scared~"

"Can't you shut up? Can't you speak like a human being?!"

Yozo could no longer bear it and cursed out loud.

"Oh dear~ please don't do that~"

Upon seeing this, the chubby man laughed even more heartily.

grass.

Yozo felt he had been subjected to a psychological attack.

"Hmm, the little guy is being a bit disobedient."

This time, I'll leave it to you, Double Gas!

The chubby man put his left index finger in front of his mouth and gave Ye Zang a strange smile.

next moment.

It was as if he was responding to his words.

The cleaver's body emerged from the bushes and appeared in front of the fat man.

just.

Contrary to its expectations,

Its claws, glowing with black light, landed on one of the twin gas bombs.

To be precise, it is an evolved form of the gas bomb, the double-gas bomb.

As it was attacked, the white light within Double Gas's body could no longer be contained and suddenly spread out.

"Boom boom boom!"

Violent explosions occurred continuously.

The wind it stirred up even broke nearby trees.

"Slay the commander!"

Yozo was completely numb.

He could accept exchanging a gas bomb for a double-gas bomb.

Why did this madman even change his self-destruction to a more powerful explosion?

Aren't you really afraid of being blown up inside the Poké Ball and dying a horrible death?

Looking at the fat man with his arms outstretched and an expression of enjoyment, he really couldn't understand the madman's behavior.

“Wa”

Bisharp dragged his wounded body back to his trainer's side.

It looked much more disheveled than the Fiery Roaring Tiger beside it.

Ye Zang couldn't help but feel fortunate.

If it were a Blazing Roaring Tiger, after such a massive explosion, its remaining combat capability would be highly questionable.

The gap between a near-elite and an elite is not that significant in the face of a suicide attack.

"Lumda, does your Rockets want to start a war with our league?"

Having already guessed the other party's identity, he questioned him without any politeness.

"Huh? Wasn't it always there?"

The chubby man, or rather, Lambda disguised as such, finally looked somewhat normal.

He tilted his head slightly, looking a little puzzled.

"Stop pretending to be stupid, you know what I'm talking about."

Or are you saying that your Rockets team wants my grandmother to join the fight against you?

Yozo didn't give the other party any face at all.

To put it nicely, they are the four cadres who are comparable to the Four Heavenly Kings.

Even the code name is related to rockets.

Actually.

The four Elite Four members of the Kanto region could easily crush Team Rocket's four executives.

To save just one person, at least three or four cadres would need to be mobilized simultaneously just to keep the situation afloat.

Among them, the strongest, Apollo, must be included.

"Oh dear, don't say that."

Lambda smiled ingratiatingly, "Actually, I didn't join the Rockets voluntarily."

I'm actually a good person.

Ye Zang gave a cold laugh.

Whether he believes it or not is all that matters.

In the dark organization, high-ranking officers, whose status is second only to a few people, claim to be good people.

What, are you an undercover agent planted by the League?

"Really, I'm not lying to you."

Lambda's eyes were full of sincerity. "I've always wanted to turn away from darkness and embrace the light, which is why I found you."

If you don't believe me, I can tell you everything I know about the Rockets.

Without even glancing at Ye Zang's strange expression, he continued speaking to himself.

"What the hell is this tactic?"
