Chapter 553: My Teammate Is Too Reckless
The Pokémon that initially surrounded Arthur and Forrest were numerous, but unfortunately, they lacked strength.
Although Arthur had faced Main Player and Captain-level Pokémon in every match back in the arena, that was the highest stage of the Professional League!
The Professional League itself represented the pinnacle of competitive play in the entire Kubfu Alliance.
Not to mention that in the later stages, Arthur was responsible for the most heavyweight matches, defeating the first, second, and third-ranked players from last year's Singles Tournament in a single season!
In reality, in a normal environment, Pokémon above the Main Player level were far less common than in the top leagues. In a wild battle, a Pokémon of this strength would be at least a minor boss.
The circle of Golurk surrounding Arthur right now were all only Professional-level. They had just been swept away by a single Dark Pulse from Forrest's ace, Absol.
The only remaining one with a bit more strength had barely survived the Dark Pulse, only to be targeted by Arthur alone, who stepped on its knee, jumped up, and slashed it down with lightning speed.
In an instant, the surrounding view cleared up again.
Because all targets over two meters tall were down...
The Golurk on the ground were also bitter. Clearly, they had cast Gravity together with the Palossand, but just because they were tall and made for bigger targets, they instantly became the primary focus of fire.
Height became their most taunting attribute at this moment.
And just knocking them down wasn't the end. This time, Arthur truly had killing intent!
"Kill them as quickly as possible! Don't give them a chance to recall!"
As he spoke, he threw one of Doublade's swords, intercepting a beam of red light directly in mid-air.
In real combat, interrupting the opponent's ball control was one of the necessary conditions for achieving results.
The enemy's vehicles definitely had Potions stocked. If they were allowed to easily recall these heavily injured Pokémon, it wouldn't be long before another combat force returned, repeatedly casting Gravity to trap them to death.
At this moment, even the Sandslash Seed that had fallen from the car with them was helping in the fight, holding back several of its own kind. This opportunity to reap couldn't be missed!
Forrest hesitated for a moment, but soon the bullets continuously sweeping from the distant enemy made the decision for him!
The enemy clearly had no intention of leaving anyone alive, and with the Golurk down, there were no obstacles to their firing.
Golurk: So we got hurt for nothing, huh?
Since that was the case, Forrest had no psychological burden about killing: "Lucario, use Protect! Salamence, clear the field with Draco Meteor!"
Protect was used to open up an energy shield to withstand the machine gun fire pouring from the distance!
Arthur's Mismagius, Little Lapras, and Little Eevee were now taking turns doing this.
In terms of Pokémon combat power, with high-level figures like Dayna and Linda not yet making a move, the ordinary forces of the Stitched Shadow Army posed almost no threat to Arthur and Forrest.
But the lethality brought by modern weapons was considerable!
This was also a change of the times that Arthur had to adapt to as soon as possible.
So these Golurk and Palossand casting Gravity had to go even more urgently, otherwise, they would have no room to maneuver!
"Specter, use Shadow Ball to take out that fleeing Golurk! Then use Shadow Tag to pin down that Palossand in the back, let Greninja handle it!"
At a time like this, there was no saving skills. Seizing the enemy's cooldown period, all of Arthur's Pokémon came out. Even Old Flame's mate came out to whip up a Heat Wave, adding a bit of damage.
Even at the cost of accidentally injuring teammates!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
After a short delay, the Draco Meteor summoned by Salamence with full power also rained down. Large energy meteors bombarded the ground, with a momentum comparable to a grand naval artillery barrage!
Dayna, commanding from a vehicle in the rear, put down her binoculars, her mouth gaping in surprise.
"Such a wide-range Draco Meteor... That Salamence's strength is exaggerated! Who is this driver?!"
It was a good thing the distance was too great for the words to carry, otherwise, Forrest would probably be cursing his mother right now.
You're the driver! Your whole family are drivers!
Since when does a real driver have to face such a ridiculous situation?!
"Two cars flank the rear! Set up more Spikes and Sand Tombs on the ground! Cadres' Pokémon, buff up first! Lapras, use Ice Beam!"
Lapras was the academic name for the Pokémon known as Cheng Long in the East (Lapras).
Dayna also had a Lapras, an adult Lapras.
At this moment, an Ice Beam shot from a distance into the Gravity field, instantly startling Forrest.
This Ice Beam was naturally aimed at Salamence!
Salamence's Dragon/Flying typing was doubly weak to Ice.
Fortunately, he reacted in the nick of time, taking out his Poké Ball and recalling his Salamence. But this beam still made him break out in a cold sweat.
The beam passed him by several meters, yet Forrest could clearly feel a bone-chilling cold rush towards him in an instant, suppressing the heat of over fifty degrees under the desert sun.
"This range and energy fluctuation... it seems the enemy has some astonishingly powerful Pokémon too."
Forrest muttered solemnly to himself.
The enemy didn't just have cannon fodder.
At least this Lapras felt very threatening to Forrest.
It was likely a peak captain-level ace Pokémon, not inferior to his Salamence or Lucario.
Looking back in the direction the beam came from, Forrest caught a glimpse of a figure with long flowing hair and a valiant bearing.
It's a woman!
That should be the leader of this encircling group, right? She looks very strong!
Then he prepared to remind Arthur: Be careful of that woman approaching in the distance.
But the next second, before he could speak, Arthur cut off his words first.
Because Arthur shouted—
"I'm going to take care of that woman, she's the leader! Cover me!"
"I..."
Interrupted by Arthur like this, Forrest almost forgot his lines for a moment.
What was I going to say?
Oh, right, that woman is dangerous!!
Don't just rush towards wherever it's dangerous!!
Young people shouldn't be this reckless, right?!
Forrest didn't know the grudge between Dayna and Arthur. Dayna had removed her disguise, so he didn't recognize her as the woman he had met briefly not long ago.
His only feeling right now was: Why is my teammate so reckless?
Not waiting for reinforcements, cutting off the livestream signal himself was one thing, but why pick the strongest enemy to fight?
Are you too good to fight nameless nobodies or something?!
Unfortunately, Forrest's complaints were destined never to be spoken.
Because the next moment, without waiting for his response, a roar sounded the horn of Arthur's counterattack!
"ROAR!"
Old Flame's first Dragon Dance was complete!
