The remaining two Senior Cadres watched with grave expressions as their Deputy Leader, mounted on Hydreigon, sped away like lightning.
Their eyes were deep and complex, as if hiding countless thoughts and calculations. However, at this moment, no one could truly discern what they were thinking.
Yet, the two moved without hesitation, decisively commanding their respective Pokémon to shoot downwards like arrows released from a bowstring.
In the blink of an eye, they plunged deep into the dense forest, cleverly using the surrounding trees and vegetation to conceal themselves. They lay in wait, like predators on a hunt, patiently anticipating the arrival of their pursuers, ready to deliver a fatal, thunderous strike.
Meanwhile, Li Guanjun was riding Charizard, giving chase at an astonishing speed. It wasn't long before he arrived at the spot where the three had split up.
With his sharp gaze, he immediately noticed that only one person, riding Hydreigon, continued to gallop forward, while the other two had unhesitatingly vanished into the dense forest.
Seeing this, Li Guanjun's lips curved slightly into a dismissive smile: “Hmph, same old trick, playing these little games of splitting up to escape. Too bad you miscalculated, I only have one target!”
With that, he didn't even glance towards the dense forest, clearly not putting the two fleeing Senior Cadres in his eyes.
In his view, these so-called Senior Cadres were nothing more than insignificant small fry, not worth his time and effort.
Next, Li Guanjun gently reached out and patted the broad, sturdy back of Charizard beneath him, softly saying, “Buddy, give it your all, let’s catch up to that Hydreigon ahead!” Charizard, receiving its master's command, let out a resounding roar, flapped its wings fiercely, and instantly accelerated to its maximum speed, its tail blazing with a roaring flame as it shot forward like the wind.
Just as Li Guanjun was about to cross this airspace, suddenly, two round, bloated figures, one pink and one blue, slowly rose from the ground and appeared in his sight.
These two figures seemed somewhat abrupt, causing a flicker of doubt, and Charizard slowed its flight, hovering in the air.
Li Guanjun was only slightly surprised: “Hmm? A male and female Jellicent.”
Jellicent is a Pokémon with gender differences. Male Jellicent have blue bodies and beards on their faces. Males have small eyelashes and small eyes, and no lips.
The male's inner tentacles have diamonds, and the outer tentacles have more frills. The female's body is pink, with a fluffy collar. The female's inner tentacles have stripes. Females have two eyelashes and larger eyes, and their lips are heart-shaped.
From within the dense forest, the Senior Cadre commanded the hovering Jellicent: “Jellicent! Both use Water Spout!”
As this command fell, it instantly revealed the hidden positions of the two Senior Cadres. A strange tremor suddenly appeared in the shadow behind Li Guanjun, and the shadow abruptly detached itself. Like a mass of Haze, it plunged towards the dense forest.
And the two Jellicent, upon hearing their master's command, their round bodies hovering in the air trembled slightly, clearly accumulating power. The surrounding air seemed to grow heavy with their preparation.
A powerful stream of water erupted like a surging torrent! In an instant, the entire scene was enveloped by this immense water force.
The two Jellicent unleashed such astonishing power that even from high in the sky, the water they spouted could still stir up monstrous waves, its power undiminished.
The surging waves, like wild horses unleashed, wildly churned and roared! They collided with each other, and the massive water curtain was like the terrifying dust storm caused by a volcanic eruption, obscuring the sky and sun, carrying an unstoppable, overwhelming momentum, like a fierce giant beast, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at Charizard.
These two Jellicent were clearly several levels higher in combat power than the Jellicent Xia Yong used to ambush Qi Shu earlier, at least Quasi-Champion-level high-tier combat power.
Two full-power Water Spout moves, with a power of 150 points, and they were also Water-type moves that were doubly effective against Charizard.
Li Guanjun looked at the thick, gigantic water curtain, standing unmoving, and calmly said: “Old buddy, use Hyper Beam to break through the water curtain.”
Charizard's thick, powerful tail suddenly burst forth with raging flames, as if to ignite the entire world. The surrounding air instantly became scorching hot.
Normal-type energy, like tangible light particles, continuously gathered towards Charizard's open maw. This scene was like a massive interstellar battleship performing the final energy charge for its incredibly powerful interstellar laser cannon.
With a sharp “whoosh” and the deafening sound of air tearing apart, a beam of energy as thick as a water tank blasted out with lightning speed! Where this energy beam passed, space itself seemed to be ripped open.
Hyper Beam, a Normal-type special attack move with 150 power. It attacks the opponent by firing a powerful beam of light. In the game, the side effect is that the user cannot move the next turn.
A thunderous “rumble” echoed, and the intense sound of skill collisions reverberated through the sky. The incredibly destructive energy beam directly impacted the thick, solid water curtain ahead, and between the two, dazzling light and violent energy fluctuations erupted.
The water curtain began to rapidly boil and evaporate the moment it touched the energy beam, with large amounts of white steam rising and quickly spreading around. And under the continuous impact of the energy beam, a huge hole was actually burned through the center of the water curtain by the light.
“Charizard, go through.”
Charizard flapped its wings, dramatically accelerated, and carried Li Guanjun directly through that gap.
It wasn't that Li Guanjun had no way to break through the Water Spout's water curtain head-on; it was just that such methods would waste more time. This way was simpler, more efficient, and saved more time.
Li Guanjun and Charizard directly ambushed the two Jellicent.
“Charizard, use Heat Wave.”
Before they could even let out a scream, the two Jellicent's bodies began to undergo a horrifying transformation!
Their once vibrant skin now seemed as if it had been placed in a high-temperature furnace, slowly being roasted until wisps of steam rose from it.
Jellicent's body is 90% seawater, and this steam rose like swirling mist, yet it could not conceal the terrifying sight—until they finally evaporated directly into the air.
