Before that, in the Director's office, Poomimpon floated in from outside the door.
Chen Kai quickly stood between Poomimpon and Zhao Jie:
“Who are you, and what are you doing here?”
Poomimpon smiled and said, “Who I am isn’t important. I just heard that your place has a miraculous stone that can make Alakazam Mega Evolve again. Please, madam, lead the way and let me observe it.”
Zhao Jie, full of momentum, pushed in front of Chen Kai and said, “If you want to see a mega evolution stone, you can apply to the relevant department, not break in like this!”
Poomimpon’s smile froze. He slowly said,
“I am not asking you; I am demanding that you must take me there.”
Chen Kai had already sensed something was wrong. He pulled Zhao Jie back and gave an order:
“Big Boss, Protect!
Xiao Mei, Thunderbolt!”
As soon as Big Boss used Protect, pink energy ripples lit up on the generated barrier. The barrier immediately showed some cracks, feeling like it couldn't hold on.
The Thunderbolt released by Xiao Mei, just as it crossed the barrier, was also blocked by the pink energy ripples.
The three-way energy clash resulted in a draw.
Poomimpon snorted, “Hmph! I just wanted you to lead the way and didn’t want to hurt you, but you insisted on looking for trouble.
Alakazam, Ally Switch, move that woman next to me.”
Since the opponent directly used a move on a person, Chen Kai was no longer polite:
“Xiao Mei, Confuse Ray, use it directly on that person!”
Poomimpon was furious, “You’re courting death! Alakazam, change to Psyshock!”
Chen Kai immediately reacted, “Big Boss, Dragon Pulse!”
A visibly pink impact first dispersed the strange light emitted by Xiao Mei, then collided with Big Boss’s Dragon Pulse.
Big Boss’s Dragon Pulse only offset a portion of the impact; the remaining Psyshock continued to assault Chen Kai and Zhao Jie.
However, Dragon Pulse still delayed Psyshock for about a second. Chen Kai threw out Miraidon’s Poké Ball and simultaneously dove to the ground.
Miraidon naturally knew the situation outside. With a flying pounce, it carried Zhao Jie away from the range of Psyshock.
“Boom!”
Psyshock shattered the entire room, including the tables and walls. Both Chen Kai and Zhao Jie narrowly avoided it.
“Miraidon, take Zhao Jie away first.”
As long as Zhao Jie left first, Chen Kai wasn't afraid of this mysterious old man.
Miraidon naturally understood, so it put Zhao Jie on its back and ran out through the hole created by Psyshock.
Poomimpon’s face instantly turned ashen when he saw Zhao Jie escape:
“Young man, you are very arrogant! You really dared to ruin my plans.”
Chen Kai smiled, “Old man, you talk too much.”
“Good, good, good!” Poomimpon laughed heartily, “Alakazam, Psychic.”
Zhao Jie had left, and Chen Kai had no more worries. He also wanted to test his skills:
“Xiao Mei, Thunderbolt!
Hydrapples, Random Light!”
The foreheads of Big Boss, Third Boss, and Si Dang Jia showed a deep, dark purple, like flowing liquid swirling and surging across their bodies, shimmering with a mysterious and powerful light.
Xiao Mei’s tail and the orb on its forehead emitted a dazzling light. The Electric-type energy from the orb overflowed, and golden electrical sparks began to crackle around its body. The Electric-type energy, like active Pokémon, leaped and collided in the air, making sizzling sounds.
On the other side, Alakazam closed its eyes, concentrating. A pink Psychic-type energy continuously surged from its body, forming a huge energy mass that condensed in front of it.
Alakazam was the first to finish condensing. Regardless, its Speed base stat was definitely faster than Ampharos and Hydrapple.
As Alakazam raised its hands, the energy orb formed a vortex. It pushed its hands forward, and the massive energy mass rapidly flew towards Xiao Mei.
As the energy mass flew, the surrounding air was twisted into purple ripples, emitting a low whistling sound.
Fortunately, Xiao Mei had gathered its move first. It flicked its tail, releasing Thunderbolt. The Electric-type energy transformed into a dazzling lightning bolt, striking fiercely towards the energy, attempting to interrupt it.
Thunderbolt and the Psychic vortex collided, entangled, and tore at each other. The two powerful forces remained in a stalemate in mid-air for a while.
It wasn’t very obvious, but the Psychic vortex’s pulling force was stronger. In addition, the vortex continuously spun and decomposed the electricity, making Xiao Mei’s Thunderbolt seem somewhat lacking in power.
At this moment, the Hydrapples’ Random Light also arrived. The three snake Pokémon all spewed thick Dragon Breath. The three energy streams converged into a single mass, joining the clash with Psychic.
The moment this powerful Psychic energy stream, fused with Dragon and Electric types, violently collided, the entire vortex seemed to ignite.
The deep purple Dragon-type energy, yellow Electric-type energy, and pink Psychic-type energy intertwined and fused, followed by a deafening explosion.
The Director’s office already had a hole, but now it was completely destroyed.
“Cough, cough, cough…” Chen Kai fell from the second floor to the first. He waved away the dust from the explosion.
“Xiao Mei, Big Bosss, are you alright?”
Xiao Mei and Hydrapple walked out of the dust:
“Roar~” (I’m fine.)
“Hydra!” (We’re also fine.)
“You won’t be fine soon!”
Poomimpon was still floating at the height of the second floor, and the Alakazam beside him was closing its eyes to rest, looking calm and composed.
However, Chen Kai realized it was using Calm Mind. He raised his wrist:
“Big Boss, use Growth.
Xiao Mei! Mega Evolve!”
“Roar~” (Okay!)
The mega evolution stone on Xiao Mei’s neck emitted a brilliant light, reflecting the keystone on Chen Kai’s wrist. The two lights converged and condensed together.
Xiao Mei began to grow white hair.
In fact, there was still some disconnect between Chen Kai and Xiao Mei’s Mega Evolution, requiring more time.
However, Poomimpon witnessed Mega Evolution firsthand for the first time. Even though Alakazam had finished its Calm Mind, it didn’t attack proactively.
As Xiao Mei’s Mega Evolution completed, Poomimpon could clearly feel that this Ampharos’s strength had increased significantly.
“Wonderful! Truly wonderful!”
He was now even more excited about his own Alakazam’s Mega Evolution.
Since the opponent wasn’t making a move, Chen Kai naturally wouldn’t stand there foolishly. He deeply understood that villains usually die from talking too much.
“Xiao Mei, Electric Terrain!”
Xiao Mei shook its hair, and the nearby ground began to emit crackling electrical sparks.
“Xiao Mei! Use Thunderbolt again.”
Poomimpon loudly said, “Then let me test your evolved strength, Alakazam, Psychic!”
This time, Xiao Mei’s light was no longer limited to just two orbs; all the orbs on its body glowed simultaneously, illuminating the night.
Lightning shot from all the orbs on its body, condensing into a single bolt that struck towards Alakazam.
Alakazam, meanwhile, once again gathered a Psychic vortex, preparing to use the same old method to neutralize Xiao Mei’s Thunderbolt.
However, the current Thunderbolt was not so easily decomposed. Instead, the wild lightning continuously tore apart the Psychic energy vortex.
The vortex gradually subsided, and Thunderbolt also slowly dissipated.
“Good! Very good!” Poomimpon’s eyes widened with excitement. He was already imagining the scene of him returning to the Southern Kingdom and thoroughly defeating his old rival after obtaining the Mega Alakazamite.
However, he didn’t notice that among the many orbs on Xiao Mei’s tail, one of them hadn't lit up with electricity.
“Good! Xiao Mei, Confuse Ray!”
That one orb on Xiao Mei lit up with a dim light at an extremely fast speed, shooting towards Alakazam.
Unexpectedly, just as the light was about to hit Alakazam, it suddenly refracted.
“Not bad, young man.” Poomimpon clapped his hands, praising him.
As he spoke, he straightened his legs and slowly descended from the air.
“But you don’t know, do you? My Alakazam uses ‘Light Screen’ 24 hours a day to Protect me and itself. In our Southern Kingdom, it’s not as peaceful as Dragon Country. When ambushes are as common as everyday meals, they are useless against me.”
