Pokémon: The Bold Rat

"Okay, Grandpa, I'll stay here with you for a few days and protect you."

"Anyway, I just finished a competition at university, and I don't have many classes these days, so it's okay to take a leave."

Looking at the stubborn old man, Zhao Yiyuan had no choice but to sigh and make the decision.

Hearing his grandson say this, the old man was somewhat skeptical.

"What? Xiao Yuan, didn't you just lie to me? Is something big really going to happen in Anping?"

His greatest hope for most of his life has been Zhao Yiyuan, so he would definitely feel bad if his studies were delayed because of him.

"I really didn't lie to you, Grandpa. I can't tell you the details, but you can come and live with me in Jingnan for a while.

When that incident is over, I will definitely send you back, I swear!"

"Pulada!"

"Kujiakuga!"

Seeing their trainer raised his hand and swore, Rattata and Sandslash next to them also raised their claws and swore righteously.

Yes, Shushu, I swear, everything I said is true.

At the same time, Sandslash secretly gave a claw to the tactless Psyduck.

"Gaga! (-o-)/"

Not knowing what was going on, Psyduck quickly followed suit and raised his little fat paw.

Yaya also swore!

Looking at the serious expressions of his grandson and the three elves under his command, the grandfather nodded hesitantly.

"Okay, let's do it tomorrow. I'll go to Jingnan with you and stay there for a few days.

Let me take care of the vegetables in the backyard today, otherwise I’ll be dead if I’m gone for ten days or half a month.”

"Well, OK, I'll buy a ticket for tomorrow morning."

Although it is hard to leave his hometown, the old man is naturally willing to make concessions when it comes to Zhao Yiyuan's studies, and he also believes that his grandson will not joke about such things.

Zhao Yiyuan, who originally wanted to leave today, didn't know what to say when he saw this. It was only one day's time and he had just sent the information over. The military shouldn't be so fast, right?

Little did they know that a majestic Pidgeot had already flown to the edge of Anping City.

On the back of this professional Pidgeot, King Liu Ran, wearing a blue windbreaker and big sunglasses, was looking curiously at the small town in the low-lying area.

"This is Anping. Interesting. There are two secret places with legends of mythical beasts around a third-tier small city."

There are rumors of mythical beasts in the Scorched Tower and the Whirlpool Islands where she just came from.

As the king of ice, she naturally wanted to see the ice beast Articuno in the Whirlpool Islands.

In fact, if there had not been other important tasks before, the college entrance examination locations of several major coastal provinces would not have been chosen in the Whirlpool Islands.

The ice-type divine beast is choosing a successor, is there anyone more suitable than her, the ice-type king!

Being both at the King level, the paths with the same attributes can also be verified.

"Just right, we quickly dealt with that ninja named Aju.

Go meet the inheritor of Articuno."

Thinking of this, she patted the Pidgeot under her seat.

"Bi-Bi~"

With a low hum, the invisible airflow around Pidgeot began to flow rapidly again.

"Shh!"

It was like an arrow shot straight towards Anping City.

Along the way, the aerial radar that was supposed to detect the area did not respond at all, as if Pidgeot had never entered.

You have to know that a city’s defense system is based on land, sea and air. Otherwise, what if the elves bomb from the sky and sneak in from underground?

Especially for a high-level elf like Pidgeot, it is absolutely impossible for it to break through the sky defense line silently.

This was achieved naturally because the alliance and the military had once again instigated the rebellion of Anping's urban core.

In fact, the fact that the Rockets can only control the surface shows that there are few people in the core layer of the city who are truly loyal to the Rockets.

After all, it has only been a hundred years since the first disaster, and the Dongxia Alliance is not a dynasty on its way to extinction. Most people who can reach this position have a very complicated network of relationships behind them. How could they follow the Rockets so wholeheartedly just because of a few words of flattery?

Therefore, with the help of the original core layer of the city, Liu Ran entered Anping City almost silently. At the same time, in the afternoon near dusk, he found the underground base of the Elf Center.

This was originally a warehouse for storing supplies for the Pokémon Center, and was expanded twice by Team Rocket to serve as their base camp.

At the entrance, two Team Rocket soldiers with capital Rs on their bodies had collapsed to the ground. Next to them, several lifelike ice sculptures stood there.

As for these small fry, whose strongest was no more than mid-level, King Liu Ran let the long-haired pig next to him breathe a sigh of relief and then killed them.

However, facing the wide open gate of the base, she had no intention of going in.

It would be too troublesome to go in and kill them one by one, and it would also be easy for the leader to get the news and run away.

So, she decided to take it all at once.

"Hairy pig, full-out earthquake!"

"Eh~"

After receiving the order, the long-haired pig immediately emitted a faint yellow light all over its body.

Although the light is very faint, if you look closely, you will find that there are circles of ochre light around the hairy pig, rippling with the frequency of its moves.

The King-level Pokémon can already control themselves very well. Although Longhair Pig used the Ice-type to break through to the King-level, its Ground-type also has the strength to reach the top of its profession (Gym).

This is one advantage of dual-element elves. When the main attribute is improved, the secondary attribute will also be improved.

"boom!"

When the heavy long-haired pig stepped heavily on the ground, a "boom, boom" vibration sound was heard.

The first to collapse was the Pokémon Center built on the ground. Even though it had been made of earthquake-resistant materials, how could a Pokémon Center in a small third-tier city possibly use panels that could withstand attacks from a gym, not to mention that this was an internal earthquake source.

"What, what's going on!"

"The Elf Center, the Elf Center collapsed!"

"Call the police! Call the police!"

"Help, help!"

"earthquake!"

……

Not knowing what was going on, a large number of ordinary people who were still having dinner immediately ran out.

Fortunately, the alliance has been improving the residents' escape quality and holds three or four large-scale escape drills every year, so most people still escape to open areas immediately.

By the time people underground felt the vibration, it was too late.

"There's an earthquake! Run!"

"I don't want to be buried alive!"

"Take me up, Sandslash!"

……

"Bang bang bang!"

"Boom!"

A large amount of floor collapsed and walls overturned. Some rock-type elves with quick reactions immediately used their elves to dig holes to lead themselves out, but most of them were still buried alive by large amounts of rocks and soil.

"Damn it! It's the Elf's Earthquake move!"

Among them, Aju, who was in training, reacted the fastest. He immediately pulled Aya and his own ninja troops up.

"Hurry, hurry, the elves that can dig holes will listen to my command. I don't want to worry about the others. Let's escape first!"

"Rumblestone, Onix will lead the way and dig the hole with both hands. Sandslashers will assist in digging the hole and pay attention to breaking up the collapsed rubble."

Since all members are ninjas, the casualty rate of their group is not high. As a ninja army trained by Aju himself, the weakest elves under their command have intermediate strength.

If he hadn't woken up so recently, according to the standards of the Crimson Gym, only high-level trainers, and the best among them, could join the Ninja Army.

"Bang bang bang!"

So this elite force quickly opened up the passage upwards.

The price was that several Rhodons and Sandshrews were buried underground.

Of course, given their properties, they can be saved as long as they are rescued in time.

But just as they saw the glimmer of light and had not even had time to catch their breath, a chill that froze their souls made everyone and the elves shiver.

"It's so cold!"

After saying this, a masked ninja subconsciously wanted to hide behind his elf, but suddenly found that his Rumble Stone had turned into an ice sculpture without him knowing when.

"Rumble Stone!"

Without thinking, I immediately retreated, but when I moved my feet, I found that my feet had been frozen without me noticing.

And the frost was still spreading wildly towards the upper body.

"Damn it!"

"Sir, save me!"

How low must the temperature be for a person not to even notice that he is being frozen!

Aji only had time to take Aya and dodge back before he watched helplessly as the ninja soldiers he had trained with great effort froze to death on the ground with strange expressions.

Most of them were filled with joy at seeing the light of day again, but little did they know that what awaited them was a hell of ice and snow.

The extremely low temperature caused the nerves of the elves/humans to be frozen immediately, so they didn't notice it at all.

"Beili~"

His eyes turned purple, and with the help of the cross-bat's resistance, Aju finally saw the culprit of this terrible blizzard.

"Messenger bird!"

"A king-level messenger bird!"

When Aju saw the red messenger bird holding the rag bag, his first reaction was a white-haired old man.

Then, shake your hands vigorously.

"boom!"

Aya, who was still confused and in a mess on her back, was thrown far away.

"Run! Xiaoya!"

Although Aya has no talent in ninja training and even relied on her elder brother's help to become an elite, she is indeed very obedient.

The moment it was thrown out, he reached out with his right hand, and "swish!" an elite-level Moru moth was released.

"Use teleportation!"

"Moru~"

The moth that grabbed the woman burst into a strong blue light all over its body.

"Shh!"

He teleported to an unknown place with his trainer.

In response to this, Liu Ran, who slowly walked out of the wind and snow, frowned slightly and gave up the idea of ​​looking for a needle in a haystack.

With that kind of random teleportation, even the caster doesn't know where the person will teleport to, so the probability of finding it is very small.

After we kill this middle-aged man and seal off the entire city, I don’t think even an elite trainer will be able to escape.

"Tell me your name, Team Rocket!"

She patted the restless long-haired pig that wanted to fight immediately, and a curious and inquiring look appeared on her delicate and cold face.

"Aju, the garrison officer of Team Rocket in Crimson City!"

Aju released all his elves and tried to delay time while looking for a way to escape.

“If I’m not mistaken, your inheritance comes from Uncle Liu.

Our Rocket Team and Master Liu Bo have had a relationship before, so we should be friends."

"Haha~ Is this how you treat your friends?"

In response, Liu Ran smiled and pointed behind him.

I saw a piece of purple ice frozen there.

It turned out to be the stinky mud who wanted to launch a sneak attack.

Unfortunately, he was frozen just after launching the attack.

Although Liu Ran is a new superstar in terms of age, his strength is among the top three in the Dongxia Alliance.

Otherwise, he would not dare to enter the third level of the Whirlpool Islands alone to communicate with Articuno who has sealed himself off.

You should know that the combat power of Articuno, which has been corroded and driven crazy, is comparable to that of a high-level king.

Even if Aju will be one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Johto region in the future, he can only be crushed by Liu Ran now.

"Haha~ Of course not."

"It's just a joke."

He gritted his teeth and just when Liu Ran thought the man was begging for mercy, he suddenly felt a violent energy fluctuation coming from behind him.

“Stinky~stinky~”

The frozen stinky mud was seen emitting dazzling white light, and a wave that exceeded the limit of the gym was rapidly expanding.

"No! It's going to explode!"

"Hairy pig, messenger bird, hold on!"

Liu Ran really didn't expect that Aju would be so cruel as to let the strongest elf under his command self-destruct.

In her perception, this stinky mud is already at a high professional level and is not far from being a king.

This can be abandoned!

"Beili~"

"Eh!"

But just when the two elves were about to use the defensive move, their bodies stopped uncontrollably.

A large amount of white light instantly flooded their vision.

Unable to use any moves, the two Pokémon still stood in front of their trainer.

The terrifying energy was enough to tear the skin and flesh of the hairy pig apart, and it suffered serious injuries even though the pig had thick blood and high defense.

The most serious thing is that smoke is coming out of the hairy pigs, and there is a highly corrosive purple poisonous mud.

"Eh~"

"Ilu!"

The strong toxin made the hairy pig wail in pain.

The high-level gym-level Mud used a huge explosion at the cost of his own life. Although the power was close to that of the middle level of the King, it could not kill the Hairy Pig.

On the contrary, these splashing dark purple poisonous mud are Aju's killer weapon.

As one of the eight ancient halls in the Johto area and a descendant of a family of poison ninjas, the stinky mud toxin he carefully cultivated would give even the king a headache.

Chouchou Ni's self-destruction is his trump card!

The reason why the messenger bird and the hairy pig were a step slower just now was because of the telekinesis of the moth.

Of course, this gym-level Moth has now been frozen into an ice sculpture by the angry messenger bird.

Aji, who sacrificed the two gym-level Pokémon in his hands, had already grabbed the foot of the Xbat and turned into a small black dot in mid-air.

There was another command from the air:

"All Team Rocket members, attack the city and run to the wilderness!"

There was a strange power in his body, and this command was like a loudspeaker, spreading throughout the entire Anping town.

"You think you can escape!"

This made King Liu Ran, who felt that he had lost face, extremely angry. He immediately put away the long-haired pig that had been treated with the best healing and detoxifying potions, and took the messenger bird and rode on the Pidgeot to chase after it.

At the same time, her orders rang out.

"Anping police station, public security team, listen up, I am the East Xia Ice King - Liu Ran!

I have issued the highest wartime order to you to do your utmost to intercept and kill all the Team Rocket members in the city.

In addition, let the Anping garrison outside the city enter the city!"

"Beili!"

After saying this, the mark of ice element on the forehead of the messenger bird following the woman lit up brightly.

"Boom!"

A huge snowflake shadow appeared in the sky of the entire city. This is the symbol of the Ice King!

Why is the word "天" added to the title "天王"? It is because they can change the celestial phenomena of an area by their own power!
