“Gentlemen, can we now discuss our conditions?”
Although Liziji felt he had gained the upper hand in the negotiations, he still dared not be careless. If this Dr. could not persuade the Champion to spare them, they would have no choice but to fight to the death.
Li Guanjun pondered for a moment, then said, “Alright, a life for a life. Dr. Chen can make me spare one of you.”
Li Gusi came to his senses and interjected, “What does that mean? Does it mean only one of us can be spared?”
Li Guanjun was unconcerned and said, “Otherwise? You caused chaos in my Hua country Wilderness Area and even kidnapped our Dr. Do you three expect to get away unscathed? Where in this world is there such a good thing?”
Liziji didn't care if he could bring Li Gusi. The main point was that his only son could not suffer any loss. Otherwise, as an internationally wanted super gangster, why would he run alone to Hua country, one of the most powerful nations?
Liziji could only add more chips, saying, “Although this Hydreigon is severely injured, it is after all a General. I believe it will receive excellent treatment in a country with such high medical standards as Hua country…”
The Hua country champion frowned, then interrupted, “Hydreigon? It cannot be used as a bargaining chip. It is already my spoils of war. Do you think you can take it away in your current state?”
Liziji reacted quickly, his face dark but sinister, responding, “Li Guanjun, if you want to directly punish us, we will only fight to the death. I will kill the Hydreigon before you eliminate us, and you will get nothing.”
“If you had such resolve, you wouldn’t be negotiating with me. You would just punish me directly, and you could at least have a complete corpse. Otherwise, my Charizard will only turn you into ashes.”
Liziji was not in a hurry either, replying, “Li Guanjun, don’t speak too soon. There are only three types of General Pokémon residing within Hua country’s borders, while out of the ten types of General Pokémon currently discovered in this world, other countries have cultivated at least 5 to 6 types of General Pokémon. This Hydreigon can just fill the void in your Hua country’s General Pokémon. Isn’t that right?”
After hearing Liziji’s words, Li Guanjun’s eyes were like torches, like a majestic judge, and he asked with a hint of threat in his tone, “Tsk, worthy of being a famous international poaching organization. You even know the distribution of Pokémon within my Hua country’s borders so clearly? Who gave you the information?”
It was obvious, how could a poaching organization know about the General Pokémon residing in the Hua Country Alliance? There must have been domestic traitors who leaked the information to them, hiring them to poach our country’s rare Quasi-Legendary Pokémon.
Liziji, as a bandit, was completely fearless. If he feared these official organizations, he might as well surrender early. He met Li Guanjun’s gaze and then said, “Hua country champion, these matters are your country’s internal affairs and have nothing to do with me. It’s useless for you to ask me. My current demand is to exchange Hydreigon and this Dr. from the Alliance for a way out for me and my son.”
Li Guanjun merely stroked his chin without speaking, because it was Liziji who was anxious now, not Li Guanjun.
Seeing that Li Guanjun still hadn't moved, Liziji immediately continued, “Li Guanjun, Hydreigon’s injuries cannot be delayed. If you delay any longer, the Hua Country Alliance will end up with nothing.”
“Oi~ So many people.”
A standard Zhou Xun entrance line came from afar. In the distance, a Western dragon figure was seen carrying a Trainer in white, speeding from afar.
Hearing this voice, Liziji’s aura seemed to drop to freezing point, as if he was desperately trying to control his furious emotions, not to let them erupt easily. His fingers clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms.
Li Gusi looked at the Pokémon flying rapidly and said to Liziji, “Father, the Hua Country Alliance has sent another person, and his mount is also a Charizard.”
That orange figure in the air, with flames trailing from its tail, approached rapidly like a jet fighter. When it arrived overhead.
The Trainer on Charizard’s back said, “So many people, aren’t you including me?”
After Zhang Heng clearly saw who it was, although he had done a lot of mental preparation, he still felt a little surprised. The person who came was Zhang Heng’s cheap father – Zhang Lei Yuan.
Although the father in this world had a different appearance, voice, and personality from his original world’s father. He had never seen his own father so majestic, even able to ride a Charizard.
After scanning the area below, this Trainer looked at Zhang Heng and said, “Zhang Heng, don’t play like this next time. Your mother will come looking for trouble with me, thinking I threw you into the deep mountains and wild forests again.”
Zhang Heng was full of questions: “Huh? Dad, wasn’t it you and Mom who arranged for me to come to the Wilderness Area to assist?”
At this moment, Liziji quickly processed the content of their conversation. From the standoff until now, he had never paid attention to the small figure of Zhang Heng behind him. Now he noticed that Zhang Heng’s face clearly bore some resemblance to Zhang Lei Yuan.
He thought to himself, “Damn it, it’s actually Zhang Lei Yuan’s son. Why didn’t I find out earlier? It seems that the Zhang family is also behind this Lake Heart Island crisis, which is why my son has fallen into such a predicament.”
Liziji suddenly looked up and roared at Zhang Heng’s father, Zhang Lei Yuan, “Zhang Lei Yuan, haven’t you harmed me enough? Do you still want me to lose my only son? Mega Houndoom, Flamethrower!”
It opened its wide mouth, continuously gathering the extremely dense Fire-type energy from its surroundings. As the energy continuously accumulated, it finally spewed out an incredibly scorching pillar of fire!
However, facing such a fierce offensive, Zhang Lei Yuan did not overextend himself, directly meeting this Flamethrower, whose power was boosted by Sunny Day and Solar Power.
“Charizard, Fire Blast.”
The flames at Charizard’s tail suddenly surged like a volcanic eruption, the blazing inferno burning wildly, releasing extremely intense high temperatures.
Immediately after, its thick and powerful Dragon Tail swung violently, and a dazzling fireball, like a meteor, whistled out, flying straight forward.
That fireball flew rapidly in the air, continuously absorbing the surrounding energy, and in a blink of an eye, it expanded into a giant “Fire” character with a diameter of five meters!
A deafening roar was heard – “Boom~” This giant “Fire” character violently collided with the oncoming flames! In an instant, fire shot into the sky, and Fire-type elements intertwined and fiercely collided, erupting in a series of dazzling lights.
“Huh? A normal Charizard can actually go head-to-head with a Mega Houndoom?”
Luo Hong heard Zhang Heng’s question and explained to him, “Normally it wouldn’t be able to, but Lei Yuan’s Charizard also has the Solar Power ability, and it’s also an Alpha Pokémon, so the Fire-type energy within its body is more abundant.”
