Chapter 567: Flee!
Facing Carbink's Diamond Storm, Arthur's Pokémon instinctively huddled together.
Although Old Flame and the little dragonfly both shot Specter a massive side-eye, despising his ability to attract trouble...
When trouble actually came knocking, they decisively chose to stand by their teammate.
Even if their brother was an idiot, he was still a partner.
The little dragonfly had already decided that she wouldn't rest until she beat the smoke out of Specter after this!
But right now, she decisively stood with everyone in front of Future Yuzuru's Pokémon!
This scene filled Specter with mixed emotions.
The organization he had built, the subordinates he had trained, had turned against him for profit not long ago, fighting to the death.
In the end, when danger truly struck, the ones standing by his side were still the partners from two hundred years ago!
Actually, in terms of time spent together, Specter had left not long after Arthur departed, falling into extremism, so he hadn't spent much time with the group.
In contrast, Dayna and Linda, who had died just minutes ago, had spent day and night with him, promoted and trained by his own hand.
Yet the contrast in their fates was so stark!
The underlings he had cultivated not only usurped his position but were bent on exterminating him, never thinking of communication or reconciliation. On the other hand, the partners he had been separated from for a century never abandoned him, even when implicated by him.
For a moment, the usually proud Specter's eyes glistened with tears, and he whimpered softly.
"Gengar." — Thanks, guys.
The little dragonfly just rolled her eyes at him.
"Flyy, gon!" — Don't think saying thanks will save you from a beating later!
But complaints aside, the little dragonfly still stood in front of Specter, ready to receive orders and fight!
The Pokémon's minds were quickly unified.
Never abandon, united against the enemy!
But as the command center, Arthur was in a dilemma.
He wasn't chaotic evil, after all. Facing a terrorist organization that planned a series of actions nearly causing hundreds of thousands of casualties in the Syndicate Alliance border, he could hunt them down without scruples, leaving no one alive.
But facing a passing wealthy young lady, a bystander trainer who just accidentally uncovered the truth and wanted to uphold justice, he was truly caught in a dilemma.
Killing her would be too inhumane, not to mention she had just helped them.
But not responding... she seemed unwilling to let it go.
What to do?
Just as Arthur was racking his brain over this, Forrest leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Just find a way to stall."
"What?"
"Stall for time, just bluff your way through. After we get back, find your family elder as soon as possible to deal with the Legendary energy in Gengar. That way, when you meet this girl again, she won't have concrete proof. In the end, it'll just be endless wrangling and a war of words.
"Given your current social status, the Alliance won't rashly punish you without sufficient evidence. This isn't just about you; it involves the Kubfu Alliance's international reputation."
Reminded by Forrest, Arthur suddenly saw the light.
Right!
The two most important witnesses seemed to have just been chopped down by him!
The three cadres from back then were all dead.
After this, he just had to deny it, right?
Blinded by the momentum of battle, he had forgotten that some things didn't need to be argued so clearly.
He looked at Forrest, and a famous line popped into his head—
Counselor, you really are a master of feigning confusion!
Looking up, the cameras hadn't followed them yet.
Arthur had personally unplugged the camera behind him at the start of the battle, and Future Yuzuru's camera probably couldn't keep up because she flew too fast to the battlefield.
This meant that everything just now hadn't been broadcast live.
Arthur instantly knew what to do.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
As he spoke, he decisively took out his Poké Ball and recalled Specter first.
Once back in the Poké Ball, the resonance glow of the Legendary energy disappeared~
Carbink was also a bit confused.
What if the culprit runs away?
You have the guts to steal a man... no, steal a Legendary, have the guts not to run!
Future Yuzuru was also furious.
"You!! You're shameless!! You're obviously guilty! If you have the guts, release Gengar and confront me!!"
Arthur continued to spread his hands.
"I don't know what you're talking about, miss. If there's nothing else, we're leaving."
"Don't run!! Carbink, push Diamond Storm forward! Umbreon, Dark Pulse! Milotic, seize the chance to use Dragon Dance!"
Future Yuzuru was enraged.
She also saw that the strongest immediate combat power in Arthur's current lineup was Specter! Because Specter had stacked three Nasty Plot buffs, his energy intensity was sky-high!
If you don't dare release that Gengar, I'll beat you until you have to release him!
With this conviction, Future Yuzuru launched a preemptive attack!
However, at this moment, Arthur, enlightened by Forrest, had no psychological burden at all. He didn't mind sparring with her.
Without preparing and fully buffing beforehand, it wouldn't be easy for Future Yuzuru to force him to release Specter again.
"Little Eevee, use Sylveon form to launch a Double-Edge, knock that Umbreon away! Lina, come down and carry me! Old Flame, raid Milotic!"
Little Eevee used his ability to launch a pink Double-Edge, wrapped in Fairy-type energy, charging at his fellow evolution Umbreon, ignoring the spreading Dark Pulse and plunging headfirst into the dark wave!
Fairy-type had an absolute advantage over Dark-type, with resistance and super-effective moves.
Using this type advantage to offset the gap in raw power, Little Eevee successfully completed the charge and knocked Umbreon away.
At the same time, Old Flame, having completed Dragon Dance first, used his starting speed advantage to forcefully break through Diamond Storm's blockade and interrupted Milotic's chant!
Then Arthur leaped onto Lina's back, turned around, and recalled his Pokémon.
"Lina, fly fast! Let's go!"
One word: Flee!
Although Diamond Storm was a Legendary's signature move, the one using it now wasn't the current Jewel Princess Diancie.
Carbink wasn't strong enough to expand this move into a true crystal storm sweeping in all directions!
Lina immediately flapped her wings and soared high, fleeing without looking back.
Forrest naturally followed closely.
And Future Yuzuru chased furiously behind!
"Bastard! Don't run!! You're guilty, aren't you?! Confront me face to face if you have the guts?! Stop!"
Three people, two fleeing and one chasing, soon approached Old Tyranitar's territory again.
At this time, more people finally noticed them, and the live cameras captured them in the frame once more.
