Pokemon, a genius scientist who traveled from one piece

In Vasili's eyes, the hellhound engulfed in flames, as if crawling out from the abyss, sent his Swamp King flying and was now rushing towards him with its blood-drenched maw.

Ruru's figure rapidly magnified in his pupils!

“Salamence, Dragon Pulse!”

Airtight, who had originally planned to recall Salamence into its Poké Ball, had to act again.

Ruru, using “Flare Blitz”, had no time to brake or change its move.

Fortunately, Dai Dai and Bibi rushed forward to stand between them.

A full-force burst, scorching flames burning in their throats, fiercely met the attack.

Flamethrower Duet!

With a deafening roar, the ground of Asagi Gym collapsed at the epicenter of their collision, and large cracks spread in all directions.

Whether it was the Jenny police force blocked at the entrance, or the citizens watching the excitement from over a mile away in the outer areas.

All clearly saw a blue and red intersecting shockwave soar from the backyard of Asagi Gym.

“Hasn’t it been resolved yet? Is Gym Leader Airtight going to be okay?”

Seeing the battle still continuing, the Asagi Police Department's Jenny Captain was also anxious.

The strongest Gym Leader in the Johto region, unable to subdue the opponent after so long?

...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the center of the battlefield.

Dai Dai, Ruru, and Bibi crashed into the walls of the gym's courtyard almost simultaneously, causing three cracks to appear.

In Airtight's eyes, Salamence, engulfed in dark aura, still stood motionless in place.

The difference in their levels was evident.

“Those three Houndoom, they're the ones that escaped before, right?”

Airtight squinted and said:

“To have grown to this extent in just two months is truly astonishing, but… not enough to threaten my Salamence.”

After speaking, Airtight added in his mind, “Especially since it's a Dark-type Salamence”.

At this moment, Vasili received a message through the communicator, his face changed drastically, and he shouted at Airtight:

“Airtight, this is bad! The Asagi police are here!”

Due to his panic, Vasili even forgot to add the word “Sir”.

Airtight frowned behind his sunglasses.

I have no choice, don’t blame me.

Muttering in his heart, Airtight raised his hand and waved.

“Salamence!”

Hearing his master's extremely heavy tone, the dark energy on Salamence's body erupted even more exaggeratedly.

However, in ordinary people's eyes, Salamence's appearance didn't change much except for its more violent aura.

Only Airtight, wearing sunglasses, could see the changes in his partner.

“That's… Joker!? And his two accomplices!?”

At this moment, the Jenny Captain of the Asagi Police Department also arrived with a group of officers.

The situation on the battlefield and the amount of information were too much; she couldn't even recover for a moment.

But seeing Salamence's unstoppable appearance.

Could it be that today they can finally bring this Team Rocket member, who has turned the Johto region upside down for more than half a year, to justice?

However, what the Asagi Jenny would never have expected was that what would shock her even more was yet to come.

“It’s gotten stronger again…”

Although Su Sheng couldn't see it, the Power of the Everstone could vaguely sense that Salamence's power had increased another level!

Airtight, what exactly did you do?

Su Sheng became more and more interested in this Heavenly King-level master who had never appeared in the original work.

Feeling the constant stream of violent aura emanating from Salamence's body, a trace of helplessness flashed across Su Sheng's expression, but in the next moment, it completely turned into anticipation, “There's no other way, use that, Dai Dai, Ruru, Bibi!”

With Su Sheng's excited shout.

The three Houndoom simultaneously raised their heads, and the eyes of the three hellhounds glowed with a creepy purple light.

“Wh, what's going on? The aura of those three Houndoom is completely different from just now.”

Captain Jenny felt uneasy, and a strong sense of foreboding surged into her heart.

“Howl——”

Dai Dai, standing in the middle, took the lead in raising its head and letting out a 【Howl】, a move that can increase the attack power of one's own side in a short period of time!

Ruru and Bibi sprinted out to the left and right.

The three Houndoom stood in the front, left, and right directions of Salamence, respectively.

Forming a triangle, surrounding Salamence.

Airtight also vaguely felt that something had changed in those three Houndoom, but he didn't have time to think so much now. With Salamence's current state, he had to make a quick decision.

“Dragon Pulse!”

Salamence flicked its slender neck, and an incomparably powerful dragon flame wave attacked Dai Dai, who was directly in front of it.

Lihua and Yishu's faces under their masks were pale. The level gap was too big.

Taking that move head-on would definitely result in an immediate loss of combat ability!

In the next moment, a light green semi-circular shield surged from Dai Dai's body.

That was the “Protect” move.

But it's not like in the game where a level 1 Pokémon's Protect can block a level 100 Arceus's move.

The level difference between the two sides was quite large, and Dai Dai's Protect only blocked Salamence for a little over a second.

In just three seconds, one could see huge, visible cracks appearing in the shield, like fragile glass breaking apart.

“Woof!”

In that one second gap, Ruru on the left jumped up, her fangs gleaming with lightning, and pounced towards Salamence's neck.

Salamence's eyes turned fierce, and its long tail swept out a vortex of water waves.

Aqua Tail.

However, at the moment of impact.

Ruru suddenly tensed her body.

Bang——!

The Aqua Tail, with effective power, slammed into Ruru's waist, but did not cause her to lose her combat ability on the spot.

That was… a defensive skill that could concentrate power and withstand the opponent's attack as much as possible—Endure.

Airtight, who noticed this scene, and some experienced trainers present realized something was wrong.

The Aqua Tail just now attacked the Houndoom on the left from a blind spot on the side.

In that case, why could she predict it in advance and use “Endure”?

“Pain Split!”

Su Sheng's command was issued.

Ruru's whole body glowed with a white light symbolizing explosive power, and she roared like a small missile, slamming into Salamence's back.

“Woo——”

Salamence cried out in pain.

Pain Split, which can divide the opponent's HP and one's own equally.

Ruru was almost knocked unconscious by Salamence just now. One can imagine how much HP she took away from Salamence with this split.

Ruru, whose HP was restored, grinned ferociously, and her fangs charged with lightning again, wanting to use Thunder Fang again.

“Twister!”

Airtight ordered sternly.

Salamence flapped its huge blood wings, and the wind pressure it created mixed with the dirt on the ground.

Ruru was rolled up into the higher sky, and the wind pressure was so great that Ruru couldn't even open her eyes.

“Dragon Claw!”

Salamence flew up, and sharp claws rose with a cyan light on its right arm, like a large machete slashing towards Ruru.

“Take one down first!”

The “trainers” at Asagi Gym shouted excitedly.

Lihua and Yishu's faces turned pale, watching helplessly as Salamence's sharp claws got closer and closer to Ruru inside the Twister.

“Heh~”

At this moment, the corners of Su Sheng's mouth curled up slightly.

In the next moment, Ruru tilted her head in the high sky.

Making Salamence's sharp cyan-glowing Dragon Claw almost graze her face.

Immediately afterward, a dark wave of light surged from her right forepaw, grabbing fiercely onto Salamence's eyeball.

“Roar!”

Salamence screamed in pain.

“That's… Sucker Punch? But, but why…”

Not to mention Airtight's subordinates, and those Jenny forces who came to reinforce.

Even Lihua, who was one of their own, was dumbfounded.

As a trainer specializing in Dark-types, she certainly knew that the move was the priority-based Dark-type move, Sucker Punch.

But to use Sucker Punch, the prerequisite is that you have to be able to see the opponent, right?

You can't even see, how are you fighting?

At this moment, Lihua noticed that Dai Dai and Bibi on the ground, their purple eyes, were staring intently at Ruru and Salamence in the high sky!
