Li Gusi’s eyes widened, staring in terror at the massive wind blade unleashed by Charizard. The wind blade roared as it swept forth, kicking up sand, stones, and dust in its wake, its immense power chilling him to the bone!
Li Gusi’s heart instantly ‘thumped,’ and he inwardly cursed his bad luck. This was a STAB attack from a Champion-level Pokémon, Charizard! How could a quasi-Champion-level Pokémon possibly counter or negate such a powerful force so hastily?
Just moments before, Charizard’s powerful Dragon Tail attack had struck Hydreigon hard. Due to the type disadvantage, this blow dealt double damage to Hydreigon, causing it to fall into a brief state of dizziness and completely lose its ability to resist.
Li Gusi’s face suddenly turned incredibly grim. He gritted his teeth, a hint of viciousness flashing in his eyes, and roared, “Drapion, quickly use your pincers to restrain Hydreigon and use it as a shield to block this attack!”
Upon hearing the command, Drapion acted without hesitation. It swiftly extended its two thick, powerful giant arms, like iron tongs, tightly clamping onto Hydreigon’s massive body. It then exerted force, lifting Hydreigon high and steadily holding it in front of itself.
Whoosh—
The furious wind roared as it swept forth, the wind blade darting like lightning. It was enveloped in dense, incredibly sharp Flying-type energy, like a cold, gleaming scimitar, striking downwards with the force of a thunderbolt!
This fierce blow landed precisely on the connection point between Hydreigon’s rightmost head and its massive body.
A muffled ‘thud’ sound came, as if something had been torn apart.
In a jaw-dropping scene, Hydreigon’s rightmost head, along with its long neck, was cleanly severed!
With a loud ‘thump,’ the detached head and neck fell heavily to the ground like discarded weights, raising a cloud of dust.
In an instant, blood splattered, staining the surrounding earth.
At the same time, a piercing, desperate wail suddenly echoed throughout the Core area of Lake Heart Island. The sound was like the shriek of a demon, filled with endless pain and despair.
Hydreigon, which had been in a dizzy state, was now instantly jolted awake by this sudden, excruciating head-severing injury.
Its two other intact heads continuously let out painful groans, the sound deafening and chilling to the bone.
Li Gusi’s eyes widened, staring in disbelief at the tragic scene before him—his prized ace Pokémon, Hydreigon, had actually had one of its heads chopped off!
One of the key factors that led to this tragedy was Li Gusi’s shameless act of using Hydreigon as a shield to block the attack.
Fury instantly erupted like a volcano. Li Gusi’s face turned scarlet, veins bulging, as he roared at Li Gusi, “Li Gusi, you ungrateful, traitorous bastard! Today, I will take your life!”
Accompanying his roar, he swiftly reached for his waist, and in the blink of an eye, pulled out a gleaming firearm. The dark muzzle was pointed directly at Li Gusi, as if it would spew deadly flames at any moment.
Facing Li Gusi’s sudden action, Li Gusi’s heart couldn’t help but tremble, and his face turned pale. He knew that Li Gusi was now consumed by rage and had lost his reason, but he dared not make any rash moves. He could only retreat while explaining, “Calm… calm down, Li Gusi! Your Hydreigon was already hit by the opponent’s Dragon Tail and severely injured. If Drapion gets injured again, we’ll truly have no chance of recovery!”
Just then, Li Guanjun, who had been observing coldly, finally couldn’t help but speak, “How audacious! How dare you openly carry a firearm into our country’s territory! Don’t you know that in Huaxia, there are strict regulations regarding firearms and ammunition? Lawlessness will be severely punished!”
Upon hearing this, Li Gusi directed all his anger towards Li Guanjun. The firearm moved in Li Guanjun’s direction, the dark muzzle pointed at Li Guanjun, but Li Guanjun remained fearless, a stark contrast to Li Gusi’s cold sweat-drenched appearance.
“Hahaha? Severely punished? What good is your Champion title, then? Can it be better than this firearm in my hand?” Along with a burst of arrogant laughter, the person unhesitatingly pulled the trigger.
Several loud ‘bangs’ were heard as the firearm instantly spewed out raging flames. Three bullets flew towards Li Guanjun like lightning, their speed so great that it was almost impossible to react.
At this critical moment, a ‘whoosh’ sound suddenly broke through the air. Charizard flew at lightning speed, like an orange flash, to stand in front of Li Guanjun.
It spread its broad, powerful wings, which rapidly condensed a thick layer of Steel-type energy, shimmering with dazzling metallic luster, as if they had transformed into two indestructible shields.
In an instant, the three bullets fiercely struck Charizard’s Steel Wing. These bullets were like hitting an iron wall, only producing three dull ‘thud’ sounds before falling weakly to the ground, completely failing to break through Charizard’s powerful Steel Wing move.
Steel Wing, a Steel-type physical attack move, with 70 power. By stimulating the Steel-type energy within its body, it can make its wings as hard as steel. Sometimes, using this move can also increase its own defense.
At this moment, Charizard, having blocked the bullets, appeared exceptionally furious. It raised its head and let out a deafening roar: “Roar—!” The roar was filled with endless majesty and rage.
Clearly, the bandit’s actions had completely enraged it, as the opponent dared to attempt to harm its most cherished master right in front of it. Such an act was absolutely unforgivable!
“Charizard, Heat Wave.”
Li Guanjun also didn’t want to waste any more time. The legendary Pokémon space in the center of Lake Heart Island had disappeared, so there was no need to stay here. Quickly dealing with these two bandits and rescuing the injured would conclude the matter.
Upon hearing its master’s command, Charizard rapidly flapped its massive wings. Explosive Fire-type energy gathered in its wings, and as Charizard flapped, it generated strong winds carrying the explosive Fire-type energy towards the enemy.
Chirp—
A bird call came from afar, and the figure emitting the bird call rapidly approached, carrying a dark-skinned middle-aged man on its back. He wore a ripple-patterned half-mask similar to Li Gusi’s.
After this man sped into this airspace, he directly threw a Poké Ball. A canine Pokémon emerged from the Poké Ball, falling vertically from a height of 15 meters above the ground, but it landed lightly, easily touching the ground with its paws, and landed steadily.
