Pokémon: The Strongest Mercenary

"Gengar, the wave of evil!"

"Ivory pig, sharp stone attack!"

Commands were given by both sides, and a dark beam of light rushed out, quickly hitting a conical rock.

Then, the rock shattered and the dark beam of light continued to charge forward.

However, there were too many rocks, and the black beam was submerged in the blink of an eye.

Then, before the sharp stone attack came, Gengar attacked again, and a shadow ball rushed out, blocking all of the attacks from the Tusker.

It can be seen from this that Gengar is no match for the Ivory Pig, which has a gym-level ultimate skill and a level 6 skill as its main means of attack.

At the same time, this also reminded Rawl that it was time to upgrade Gengar's skill level again.

Behind the Ivory Pig, Asakawa knew very well that when Gengar attacked again to resist the sharp stone attack, it was the best time for the Ivory Pig to attack again.

But Asakawa couldn't do that.

The reason is that every time Asakawa wants to seize the opportunity to attack, Wandering Night Spirit will immediately be ready to attack.

The meaning is very clear. If Asakawa dares to give the order, Rant's life will be in danger.

After several times, Asakawa also understood that the other party was using him as a whetstone to sharpen his strength.

With rand in hand, there are plenty of opportunities for trial and error.

It can be said that this was the most frustrating battle since Asakawa became a trainer.

But Asakawa didn't understand why the other party was not afraid of outsiders breaking in if the dispute continued.

By then, the situation will no longer be under his control.

Secondly, isn’t the opponent afraid that his Pokémon’s power will be exhausted, thus giving himself a chance?

Or does he have a backup plan that can ensure his own safety?

When Asakawa became suspicious, Luo also felt that it was about time.

From the beginning of the battle until now, Gengar has used every possible means, but he only consumed a lot of Mamoswine's physical strength without leaving Mamoswine with too serious injuries.

After all, the strength of this tusk pig is far beyond that of Watanabe's Flame Monkey.

"As expected of Master Asakawa, your strength is different."

"Let's stop this battle here. If we continue, I'm afraid we will both suffer losses."

As the fox's voice sounded, Geng Gui returned to his side.

Even so, the Ivory Pig did not relax its vigilance and still looked at the Ghost Fox with caution.

"Then I will return him to you as agreed. But you have to keep an eye on him. Otherwise, if I catch him next time, it won't be so easy to return him to you."

As he spoke, the Ghost Fox signaled the Wandering Night Spirit to throw Rand out.

Immediately afterwards, Gengar attacked again, and the wave of evil attacked Rand.

"Ivory pig!"

Although he didn't understand why the other party let Rand go so easily, when he saw that Rand was in danger, Asakawa still let Ivory Pig take action as soon as possible.

The Ivory Pig stomped the ground suddenly, exerting the power of the earth. A stone pillar suddenly rose up and directly blocked Gengar's attack.

The moment Asakawa's attention was attracted by Rant, the ambushed Shield Sword Monster immediately took action.

By the time Asakawa realized the danger, it was too late. The sharp blade pierced his chest.

As the sword was pulled out, scarlet blood splattered. In the blink of an eye, the blood soaked Asakawa's clothes and continued to spread.

"Father!"

At this moment, Rant woke up.

Seeing his adoptive father become like this, he couldn't help but cry out in grief and anger.

Rant's voice also attracted the attention of the Ivory Pig.

Turning his head, the Ivory Pig saw Rant, whom he had rescued, in his arms, his life breath becoming increasingly weak.

With anger rising, Ivory Pig wanted to tear the damn Fox, Gengar, and everything related to them into pieces!

But by the time he found his target, Ghost Fox had already disappeared with Gengar and the others.

Before leaving, Guihu admired Rant's acting skills.

How does the saying go? Everyone has unlimited potential.

In order to inherit everything from Asakawa, Rant's acting skills must be superb.

Looking at the empty surroundings, Ivory Pig discovered for the first time that strength is not omnipotent.

Just like now, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot bring Asakawa back to life.

Kneeling beside Asakawa, Ivory Pig's face was full of sadness, and tears seemed to flow like a floodgate, dripping down Ivory Pig's cheeks and onto the ground.

"Don't be sad. I didn't have much time left anyway. It's just coming a little earlier now."

"From now on, you stay with Lanter and must help him well, listen to him, and work together to build the Cold Wind Gym better."

Gently stroking the ivory pig's face and wiping its tears, Asakawa began his final explanation.

He nodded slightly, and then the Ivory Pig couldn't hold it in any longer, and simply lowered his head and began to cry bitterly.

After taking a gentle look at the ivory pig, Asakawa took a deep breath and took out the small box in his arms.

"This is a special item I bought before. I originally wanted to use it to lay a solid foundation for your Ice Ghost Guard after it breaks through. Now it seems that there is no chance."

"I hope that with its help, you can successfully break through your Ice Ghost Guard to the gym level. Then the Cold Wind Gym will be handed over to you. No matter what, you must defend the Cold Wind Gym. Do you understand?"

Taking out the box stained with his own blood and stuffing it into Lant's hand, Asakawa began to speak his last words.

At this moment, Rant was stunned and tears flowed down his face.

Lant tried desperately to say something, but found that he couldn't even make a sound. He could only nod stupidly while crying.

"Good boy, good boy."

Gently stroking Lant's head, Asakawa whispered softly.

Lant knew that Asakawa would never touch his head like this again.

At this moment, everything about the lives of the father and son appeared before Lant's eyes.

Endless regret filled Lant's heart, but there is no regret medicine in the world, and everything can never be repeated.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Asakawa motioned for Rant to come closer.

Although he was confused, Krant still lowered his head and lay down, listening attentively to what Asakawa had to say.

"Don't let anyone find out. You have a deal with the mercenaries."

The moment he heard these words, Rant's eyes suddenly widened!

That’s right, as an experienced gym trainer, how could Asakawa not see through such a simple conspiracy after calming down.

Even so, what Asakawa was worried about in the end was that Rand would not handle the matter well, which would have a negative impact on himself.

He was even more worried that Ivory Pig would attack Rand after knowing this, so he told Rand in this way.

After saying this, Asakawa was completely exhausted.

At this moment, Asakawa felt that everything around him had become quiet.

"By the way, I forgot to ask Lant if I am a qualified father. I guess I am."

As he was thinking about this, Asakawa completely lost his breath.

"what!!!"

A few seconds later, a roar was heard, the voice full of grief, despair and regret.
