The noise of flapping wings was endless, and huge purple waves poured out from all over the cave. Upon closer inspection, it was actually a swarm of hundreds of Zubats and Golbats.
The approaching purple cloud did not frighten Yamada. Without the command of a trainer, no matter how many wild Pokémon there were, they were just a mob.
"Things that get in the way... trumpet buds, paralysis powder."
Upon hearing the order, the trumpet bud shook its slender body slightly, and its round mouthparts spewed out yellow dust mist, which quickly spread in the air.
As expected, the swarm of bats crashed into the yellow fog without any change. The moment their bodies came into contact with the yellow powder, the feeling of numbness immediately spread throughout the body. The wings that were flapping at high speed suddenly stiffened, and their bodies fell downwards under the influence of gravity.
"Use the air blade to disrupt the airflow!"
Just as the bat Pokémon that had intruded into the field were about to be destroyed one after another like dumplings, the voice of the sneak attacker was heard again from the pile of rocks in the distance.
This time Yamada heard it clearly. The voice was unusually calm, but the tone was still a little immature. He initially judged that the person was not very old.
Could he be a newcomer secretly trained by some organization? But he is still too young after all. Wild Pokémon will not obey human commands. No matter how high your level is, it will be meaningless!
What's more, it would expose his position... Looking at a conical rock peak, the direction from which the sound came made him sure that the person was hiding behind it.
"After I get rid of these little rats, I'll deal with you." Yamada Sora swung the iron rod, and the muscles on his face flexed as if he was imagining smashing the enemy's skull.
"Squeak~Squeak~"
Unexpectedly, a few seconds after the sound was made, the Bat Pokémon actually hovered in mid-air, and with a sweep of their wings, countless air blades spread out in all directions at a rapid speed like scattered flowers.
Not many air blades shot directly towards Yamada's position, but the staggered firing completely disrupted the airflow, tearing a large gap in the yellow mist of paralyzing powder.
"It succeeded, it is indeed feasible..." Qianye took a deep breath behind the rock peak.
He really couldn't make all the bat Pokémon obey his orders. After all, he had Zubat summon them through ultrasonic transmission of information. It was not realistic for them to obey the orders of a stranger human.
Therefore, he chose to let Zubat be the bridge between the two, and have the other party relay his instructions again. Although this may cause a certain delay in the execution of the orders, it can at least affect the actions of the Bat Pokémon.
"It's a pity that wild Zubats and Golbats haven't learned the two moves of wind and blow. Otherwise, I could blow the paralysis powder back and let them suffer the consequences."
Thinking with some regret, Qian Ye walked out of his hiding place. Since his position had been exposed, there was no need to hide any longer. It would be more convenient to come out and command the whole situation.
After seeing his appearance clearly, Yamada was a little surprised that he was younger than he expected, but soon a cruel look appeared on his face:
"You are such a little brat. I don't know how you can command these beasts, but don't think you can defeat me with just these..."
"Magneton, don't hold back and use your full strength to attack! Toucan, use high-speed movement to strengthen yourself... Bellsprout and Beedrill, use Leaf Blade and Missile Needle to shoot down the enemy from a distance."
The spinning flying blades, the bullet-speed bug needles... and the golden electric current that is a nightmare for fragile Flying Pokémon like Zubat and Golbat, formed a dense firepower network.
Every moment, there are bat Pokémon that are seriously injured and shot down. However, no matter how many brave warriors who paved the way fell, the remaining existences had no intention of retreating. With red eyes, they launched a suicidal charge against the poachers who invaded their homes.
"Those in the rear should use air blades to neutralize the enemy's long-range attacks! Those who are close to the enemy should immediately use ultrasonic waves!"
In an instant, the air blades, leaf knives and flying needles collided with each other, and the firepower became sparse for a while. The few big-mouthed bats in the front charging position were able to get close to the attack range, and strange sound waves immediately came out of their open mouths.
Ultrasound is the most common sound-based move. It does not have direct lethality, but its special frequency will resonate with the eardrum and even some nerve structures, causing the Pokémon to enter a state of confusion.
Pokémon hunters use carefully bred Pokémon, and directly launching attacking moves may not have much effect even if they hit the target. On the contrary, this kind of "hanging state" can greatly weaken their threat... The rest is to just capture the leader first.
Yamada had obviously guessed Qianye's plan, and immediately shouted to the Toucan: "Faster! Use your wings to attack and stop them!"
The toucan, which had been strengthened by high-speed movement, had its already impressive speed become even more exaggerated. When a strong wind blew past, only a few fallen feathers were left in place.
While flying at high speed, its wings cut through the purple bodies like blades. Most of the Zubats let out a wail and fell before they could release any moves. Only a few of them released ultrasonic waves before being attacked.
"Damn it, get out of the way!"
Yamada retreated while cursing. He and his main force Magneto were out of the range of the ultrasonic wave by retreating a few steps because of the far distance. The fast and agile Toucan and Beedrill also successfully avoided it by disguised in the air. Only the Trumpetfly on the ground was unable to dodge and was hit by several sound waves.
Sure enough, under the effect of ultrasound, the whole plant of the trumpet bud seemed to be drunk, with unsteady steps and shaking head, obviously in a "state of confusion".
Although he made a dissatisfied click of the tongue, Yamada still did not give any more orders to Labaya who was hit. In his current state, it would be a big deal if he could not use his moves to hit anyone, but it would be a big shame if he hurt his teammates.
"Toucan, go deal with that brat."
Without the Bellsprout, their firepower was lacking. If they dragged on, their Pokémon might not be able to stop the attack of so many bats. It would be better to let the Toucans take advantage of their speed and kill the "brains" of these wild Pokémon.
"Gah~"
The toucan flapped its wings vigorously, and its body cut through the air and rushed forward. Some toucan bats seemed to realize that they had separated from the main group to block it, but their fragile bodies were simply unable to block the impact. They were knocked down after slightly slowing down the opponent's speed.
The long seal like the scythe of the god of death was approaching at a high speed, but Qianye remained surprisingly calm and decisively said to the coyote dog protecting him:
"Heizi, throw sand."
Heizi waved his claws and dug at the ground, raising a large amount of dust, like a khaki gauze blocking the way between him and Qianye. With the current momentum of the Toucan, it would inevitably crash into it, and the dust would blind its eyes, reducing its hit rate.
"A mere trick... Use the Pecking Drill in mid-air!"
The toucan hunter looked at its prey with contempt in his eyes. Even at this speed, he still managed to change his trajectory by nearly 90 degrees in the air. After vertically ascending to bypass the barrier of sand and dust, his body began to rotate in a spiral, attacking Qianye below like a drill.
His eyes were filled with indifference. With the speed of the dog, there was no time to stop his move. Its sharp mouthparts would easily penetrate the human's head and take the eyeballs out of the brain that was mixed into a paste.
What was a little surprising was that the boy was half-crouching with a backpack that was not completely zipped up on his back, and he didn't give any instructions at all. Did he not react? Or...
A silver-white figure suddenly flew out of the bag. Its speed was not fast in the eyes of the toucan, but in this situation, it had no way to brake or change direction!
The silver and brown figures collided above Qianye's head. I don't know if it was an illusion, but the long beak of the Toucan seemed to tilt at the moment of impact. After a loud noise, the silver-white Pokémon fell into Qianye's arms.
"Are you okay, Cocodora?"
Although Kokoda, who possesses both rock and steel attributes, has a high resistance to Flying-type Drill Pecking, this is still a very powerful move, and Qianye cannot be completely reassured.
"Coco~"
It's okay, but that guy must be feeling bad.
Seeing Kokodora's confident look, Qianye was relieved. He had expected that the opponent might directly attack the trainer, so he had Kokodora hide the iron head in his backpack in advance. This dark chess move seemed to have a good effect.
The toucan's skull seemed to be broken at one corner, and perhaps the impact gave it a concussion. Its body swayed in the air and fell headfirst to the ground.
"Good opportunity, Heizi, bite!"
"Ah~" Heizi swooped down on the toucan, which was cowering on the ground with its feathers drooping, and his sharp teeth pierced through its wings.
"Gah!" The toucan woke up in severe pain and flapped its wings hard to try to shake off the black dog, but the fangs remained tightly clenched, only tearing a bigger wound in vain.
"What a waste!"
Yamada looked gloomily as he watched his Toucan being bitten to pieces by the Kokodorla that had caught up with him because the Toucan was unable to break free... Wait, why was the Kokodorla bitten to pieces?
He felt that some knowledge in his brain was confused, but the crisis before him made him immediately put aside these unnecessary thoughts - the Beedrill had been completely suppressed by the firepower of a group of bats and was about to be defeated.
"There's no other way..." Yamada gritted his teeth, raised his iron rod high, aimed in the right direction, and with a powerful pull, Magneto flew away.
"Buzz?" Beedrill, who was still fighting with the bat Pokémon, looked at his companion who suddenly flew to his side in confusion.
"Magneton three-in-one, maximum power discharge!"
Hearing the master's orders and hearing the electric sparks flashing on his companion, Beedrill felt something was wrong and turned around to flee away from Magneto.
But no matter how fast it was, how could it be faster than lightning? Within an area with a radius of about 100 meters, all the Pokémon stranded in the air were bathed in this golden high-voltage current.
He actually used a move like electric discharge that didn't distinguish friend from foe! Qianye stood up instantly. It seemed as if black rain was falling from the sky. The rain was the charred bodies of Beedrills and Bat Pokémon that had been electrocuted. In this disaster, only a few Gulps escaped in time.
"What tricks do you have now?"
I didn't expect that I would lose two Pokémon in order to fight a little brat. It would be so embarrassing if this got out... But it doesn't matter now. Bellsprout has recovered from the chaos, and Magneto is still in good condition. Without the help of those wild Pokémon, the kid has no chance of winning.
The dangerous gaze was fixed on the boy. Yamada didn't want to wait any longer, so he commanded Magneto to prepare to release the electric shock.
"Use ultrasound."
It was another calm instruction, but this time Yamada felt like laughing out loud. There were only a few Zubats at such a distance, how could the ultrasonic waves they produced pose any threat... It was so funny, they wouldn't hit him at all.
After seeing those Zubats actually use ultrasound, the smile on his face became even more wanton. The sound waves that spread out even deviated and hit the rock wall above.
"Hahahaha… Looks like even God can't stand it anymore, so it's almost time to end it. Magneto 3-in-1, use electric shock!"
"Yeah, it's time to end..." Qianye murmured, his eyes fixed on the top of his head, as if he was expecting something.
From the beginning, he had no intention of defeating the opponent head-on, so when communicating with Zubat, he asked the other party to convey some additional things to him during the command at that time.
"Those air blades...are not left randomly."
The moment the words fell, the rock blocks above the cave that were cut by the sharp air blade began to shake violently, and the vibration of the ultrasonic wave caused the stone pillars to loosen, and the result was - collapse!
Unprepared, the falling boulder buried the Pokémon hunter along with his Pokémon.
"Success..." After seeing the grave formed by fallen rocks with his own eyes, Qianye was finally able to completely relax and ran quickly towards the battlefield filled with traces of destruction caused by various moves.
"Kokodora, I'm leaving everyone in the cage in your care."
While giving instructions, he quickly pulled out bandages and various medicines from his backpack and began to provide first aid to the Pokémon lying on the ground.
"Ko~Ko~" Although she responded reluctantly, Kokodora still jumped off Qianye's shoulder, walked a few steps to the cage, opened her mouth and gnawed on the chewy steel bars.
"Squeak~"
Serving as a messenger, the greatest hero of this battle, Zubat flapped its wings quickly and flew over, landing beside Qianye.
"You want to help heal your own kind? Well...then come and help me pass the tools."
Looking at that smile as warm as the sun, Zubat nodded without hesitation.
As the man and the bat began to work, they did not notice that a gap had quietly opened up in the pile of fallen rocks behind them. Yamada, who should have been crushed to pieces, leaned out, and a look of deep resentment appeared on his blood-stained face.
At the critical moment of life and death, he let Magneto activate electromagnetic levitation to block above his head, delaying the impact and saving his life... But even so, he can no longer feel his lower body.
I must...I must kill that despicable little devil!
At this moment, Yamada had only this one thought in his mind. With hysterical madness, he actually took out a long black tubular object from behind him - a shotgun!
The cold muzzle of the gun was pointed at the boy's back. Within a hundred meters, the other party had already taken the initiative to enter the realm ruled by death. The kid was still unaware... Pull the trigger, just complete the simplest action of pulling the trigger!
"Ah?!" Heizi, who smelled an ominous odor, turned her head and noticed the movement in the crevice. The moment she saw the man inside with murderous intent and the black iron pipe pointed at her master, she immediately understood something. While howling to warn, she rushed towards the crevice at the fastest speed in her life.
However, desperately, her sharp eyesight had captured the man's finger on the trigger.
A little faster... If only a little faster...
The scene before her eyes began to slow down like stagnant water. In a trance, she seemed to return to that night, watching helplessly as the young man used himself as a barrier to block the rubble from the explosion.
I will never...never allow that to happen again!
With strong emotions and prayers, a dazzling white light burst out from the coyote dog, completely covering its entire body.
"Kuroko?"
Qianye, whose attention was drawn by the howl, stared blankly at the silhouette that quietly changed in the soft white light. The tail became longer and fluffier, and the limbs became obviously more slender. The neck was raised, revealing two animal ears and a slightly rounder face...
Wait, huh?
