Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

"wrong."

After a brief moment of thought, Tetsuya immediately realized: "This is Mount Tsukimi!"

Gallade, use Earthquake!

"Ledo"

Gallade emerged from the Poké Ball without the slightest pause.

He crossed his arms, bent down, and leaped towards the ground.

The powerful energy and impact formed a giant cross.

It forced the surrounding water to spread in all directions.

Tetsuya's eyes flashed with purple light: "Don't think you can get away with this!"

Chapter 652 Battle Escalation

"boom--"

The earth trembled violently the moment Gallade landed.

Cracks formed along irregular paths.

The water flows down relentlessly, just like a series of man-made waterfalls.

The bottom of the pitch-black crack led to an unknown destination, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

“Niduo”

The agonizing screams were still incredibly clear despite being masked by the sound of water.

King Nido and Queen Nido emerged from the shallow underground in a rather disheveled state.

Gallade's attacks left many wounds on their bodies.

Despite the difference in strength between the two sides, the effect of attribute advantage somewhat compensated for the lack of damage.

"really."

Tetsuya's eyes flashed: "They used the terrain to effectively prevent the water from flowing back in."

The results are similar to those caused by the earthquake just now.

All Nido did was dig cave passages leading in two different directions at the same time.

A vertical channel leads underground to guide the flow.

The other one was located several meters below the ground nearby, used for hiding.

While most of the surging water flows downstream, only a very small portion reaches Nidoking and Nidoqueen.

If it weren't for the concern that digging too many holes in the shallow ground could cause a collapse and be disastrous, Nidoking, who was in charge of digging the holes, could have completely avoided being affected.

of course.

This trick doesn't work everywhere.

after all.

Not every place is like Mount Tsukimi, with its chaotic underground network of natural passages.

Nidoking only needs to connect a small section of the hole he dug himself to the existing hole underground.

Next, the geographical features of Mount Tsukimi will naturally help it solve the problem.

Otherwise.

Even a near-champion level Ground-type Pokémon couldn't dig a cave hundreds of meters deep in just a few seconds, and then go back up to create another hiding place.

"What an outstanding junior."

Sakaki, who was watching the battlefield closely, revealed an expression of appreciation behind his mask.

Perhaps the other party's superpowers played a significant role.

But Sakaki always believed that any power he could master was his strength.

Like his Viridian Power, and the Mewtwo that was created.

Only losers get hung up on whether the other side's victory was due to some so-called "external factor".

"A talent like that should be playing for me on the Rockets, what a pity..."

Giovanni raised his arm toward Nidoking and Nidoqueen, who were not far away: "Since you've appeared here, then you may rest in peace underground with them."

A green light emerged.

The two elves were recovering at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.

"Depend on!"

Tetsuya couldn't help but curse out loud: "Isn't this fucking cheating?!"

He knew the power of Tokiwa was strong, but he didn't expect it to be this strong.

Healing your Pokémon during battle is like having a portable health pack; how can you fight like that?

at the same time.

Minglan's expression on the cliff changed repeatedly.

Those who have mastered the power of Tokiwa are few and far between in the world.

There was only one person whose size roughly matched that of the masked man.

That is Giovanni, the current Gym Leader of Viridian City.

"What the hell is this damn guy hiding?"

Where did he get all these Champion-level and near-Champion-level Pokémon?

Minglan frowned.

Wu Neng leaned against a boulder, his face somewhat pale, and shook his head: "I don't know what he's hiding either."

But there's no doubt that we and Tetsuya are about to be in big trouble.

Yes.

A real, serious problem.

Although Giovanni had previously used the power of Tokiwa.

However, the distance is so great that it is impossible to notice it under the cover of sunlight.

Secondly, he primarily used the Viridian Power against Beedrill, who was battling Ditto Mewtwo.

The faint green glow seemed to Beedrill as a prelude to using a skill.

The effect of stamina recovery can also be fully explained by the Super Drain skill.

Minglan had never imagined that this was the role of a trainer.

If Giovanni fails to kill the group in the end, he can still keep his identity hidden for a while longer.

And now.

His undisguised use of the power of Tokiwa further illustrates one thing—he is determined to kill all the humans present.

The dead are the quietest and least likely to reveal information.

"Beedrill, Shadow Clone, then Cross Scissors!"

The countless insect shadows formed a huge sphere with the location of Ditto Mewtwo as its center.

Countless bees raised their double stingers and stood in front of them.

The intense blue light instantly changed the color of the sky.

next moment.

Even with Tetsuya's eyesight and senses, he couldn't detect what was happening to Ditto Mewtwo.

presumably.

That's probably not a good idea.

Whether in terms of combat experience, combat skills, or other aspects, Mewtwo, transformed from Ditto, was completely outmatched by Giovanni's Beedrill.

Mewtwo's strength is considered that of a legendary Pokémon, far surpassing that of ordinary Pokémon.

Otherwise, Ditto would have been beaten to the point of being unable to take care of himself long ago.

Although it was just a bee.

But from the moment it became a Champion-level Pokémon, it was definitely not just a simple Beedrill.

"Om-"

The sound of wings flapping was incessant.

The densely packed figures would keep people with trypophobia from getting a good night's sleep for at least a month.

The entire sky seemed to have become the territory of the Beedrill.

Its fierce aura even attracted the attention of the three divine beasts fighting nearby.

"Another 'me'? And so weak?"

Rocket Mewtwo felt like its entire Pokémon was in bad shape.

Fortunately.

After observing for a while, it discovered Ditto's true identity: "Turns out it's just a pink piece of trash too."

His disdainful attitude was vividly displayed through the fluctuations of his superpowers.

"Meow!"

"Shut your damn mouth!"

Who would have thought?

This casual remark infuriated both enemies.

In the absolute sense.

The fur standing on end on the dreamlike body is clearly visible, just like a fluffy little kitten.

Suddenly enraged, it transformed into a beam of light and rushed towards Rocket Mewtwo, then raised its little foot and delivered a flying knee kick.

Rocket Mewtwo was immediately sent flying backwards.

However, it has become accustomed to this situation and has recovered and become proficient in its use.

But this time, it was different from the previous times.

Cerberus Mewtwo's figure quietly appeared behind Rocket Mewtwo.

"boom--"

The purple figure suddenly stopped, and then flew towards the dream along its original trajectory.

The latter didn't immediately catch on.

No, why aren't you attacking the other side? You're attacking me instead?

"boom--"

"boom--"

The purple light darted back and forth across the sky.

At first glance, the battle between the three mythical beasts seems to have remained unchanged.

Upon closer inspection, it appears that Mewtwo and Cerulean Mewtwo have formed a temporary alliance and are working together to deal with Rocket Mewtwo.

A powerful mythical beast was suddenly being kicked around like a ball by two other mythical beasts.

"asshole!!!!"

Rockets' SuperDream's anger continued to build.

The purple in his eyes even had a faint reddish tinge.
