The next morning, Chen Kai, carrying large and small bags, entered Area Zero again to restock. The bags contained tea leaves for Iron Leaves. After Mr. Li's recommendation yesterday afternoon, Chen Kai bought some good tea leaves in Qu County.
But as soon as he exited the cave, he saw Iron Leaves' gloomy face, which startled Chen Kai. He stammered, "Iron... Iron Leaves, what's wrong?"
"Where's that brat, Number 7980?" Tieban Ye Daren asked through gritted teeth.
Chen Kai recalled Iron Hands' 24-hour non-stop online life.
When he called him to come along this morning, he still refused to leave. At that time, he had just started a new online game.
Chen Kai could only answer truthfully, "He didn't come. He's still at my house."
Chen Kai felt that Iron Leaves' metallic skin was practically bulging with veins from anger.
"Iron Bundle, go bring him back."
Iron Bundle, who was hiding behind Iron Leaves, walked forward and responded, "Yes, Tieban Ye Daren."
Chen Kai could only leave the large and small bags at the cave entrance and return home with Iron Bundle.
In Miraidon's room, the curtains were drawn, the lights were dim, and the flickering light of a fighting game illuminated the screen.
Iron Hands stared intently at the screen, his massive hands clumsily mashing buttons and executing moves on the game controller.
However, the character he controlled on the screen was like a weakling, being constantly beaten back by the opponent with combo after combo, having no power to fight back at all.
"Ah!!!"
Iron Hands roared, his voice echoing in the small room. His yellow pupils were bloodshot, like a bomb about to explode. Every time he was knocked down by his opponent, he would smash his fists heavily on his thigh, causing the entire house to emit a dull thud. Luckily, Chen Ba and Chen Ma were not home, otherwise they would have thought there was an earthquake. Sweat even trickled down his metallic forehead, dripping onto the controller, but he didn't care in the slightest.
Once again, his character was spectacularly finished by the opponent, and the word "DEFEAT" appeared in large letters on the screen.
Iron Hands could no longer hold back. Like an enraged lion, he abruptly stood up from the ground, gripping the game controller tightly with both hands, letting out a loud "bang." Not only did the plastic casing instantly crack and shatter, but the internal components were also crushed.
But he was still not appeased and raised his foot, wanting to stomp the entire computer into dust.
He was panting heavily, his yellow glowing parts rising and falling, and he continuously cursed, "What a crappy game, TMD, I'm not playing anymore!"
Fortunately, Iron Bundle appeared in time to stop him.
"Number 7980, what are you doing?"
Iron Hands looked back and saw it was Iron Bundle, and said irritably, "Oh, it's Number 7981. You're so disrespectful. You should call me Big Brother Iron Hands."
Iron Bundle ignored him and continued, "Tieban Ye Daren wants you to go back."
Iron Hands' eyes darted around, and he asked, "Do you have Tieban Ye Daren's credentials?"
Iron Bundle was a bit displeased, "No, Tieban Ye Daren wants you, and you still need credentials?"
Iron Hands suddenly slammed the floor, "Yes! Who knows if you're trying to trick me! I just got out not long ago!"
With that slam from Iron Hands, a large pit was dented into the floor, and the entire house shook violently, causing Chen Kai to fall directly.
Chen Ba and Chen Ma, who were herding sheep on a distant hillside, also nearly fell.
Chen Ma asked in a panic, "What's wrong? What's wrong! An earthquake?"
Chen Ba supported his wife, "Possibly. There have been frequent earthquakes in the past few months, but they were all minor, so it's not a big problem."
Iron Bundle's expression changed, which was rare. His already cold eyes became even colder, and he said angrily, "Number 7980, what are you trying to do!"
Iron Hands narrowed his eyes! "What am I doing? I think you're falsely relaying Tieban Ye Daren's orders and have ulterior motives!"
As he spoke, Iron Hands' right fist began to gather a powerful electric current. The fist glowed with a dazzling yellow light, and electric arcs, like living things, coiled around his fist, forming a dazzling electric orb that constantly spun and expanded around him, emitting a chilling hiss.
Iron Hands roared, his muscles instantly tensing like a fully drawn bow. Then, with lightning speed, he charged forward, his right fist, accompanied by the sound of rushing wind, slammed fiercely towards Iron Bundle.
This punch seemed to condense the lightning power of the entire sky.
And Iron Bundle was caught off guard. He completely didn't expect Iron Hands to attack. He only had time to shield his body with his wings.
Chen Kai had already sensed that something was wrong. It seemed like Iron Hands was attacking Iron Bundle, but Chen Kai always felt that Iron Hands' peripheral vision was occasionally glancing at him.
So Chen Kai's hand was already on Hydrapple's Poké Ball.
The moment the fist made contact with Iron Bundle, a massive bolt of lightning erupted from the tip of the fist, and a powerful electric current instantly spread throughout Iron Bundle's body.
Iron Bundle was hit by this powerful force, his body trembled uncontrollably, his feet carved deep marks on the ground, and he was violently sent flying, like a kite with a broken string. He first smashed through the wall, then heavily crashed onto the ground dozens of meters away, creating a large crater and kicking up a cloud of dust. The entire Zining Mountain trembled.
The surrounding air was disturbed by the powerful airflow generated by this punch. The strong wind, carrying thunder, uprooted all the surrounding trees, and half of Chen Kai's newly built house disappeared.
"Cough, cough...!" Chen Kai lay on the ground, coughing frantically. He was grazed by the aftermath of the Thunder Punch. Even though Big Boss had activated 'Protect' in time, he and the Hydrapples were still sent flying several meters away!
And the Hydrapples, having endured more damage, were even more severely injured.
Chen Kai took out the green bead and began to charge it in his arms.
Iron Leaves and Iron Bundle were both very kind to him, and even Iron Boulder was just a bit aloof.
This Thunder Punch from Iron Hands reminded Chen Kai that most Paradox Pokemon are very ferocious!
He currently had no ability or experience to control such powerful Pokemon.
Ever since he met Iron Leaves, he had become too complacent!
A thick beam of freezing light shot out from the pit. This beam, like a giant ice dragon, charged towards Iron Hands with an overwhelming force.
Wherever the beam passed, the ground instantly froze, and huge cracks appeared; the surrounding rocks were shattered by the cold, turning into splinters of ice that flew everywhere.
When the freezing beam hit the opponent, a powerful impact erupted, as if the entire world trembled because of it.
Iron Hands was struck by this powerful force, his body instantly frozen, and the house behind him turned into a giant ice sculpture.
The ice sculpture shimmered with dazzling light under the sun, as if narrating the power and terror of this force.
Fortunately, this freezing beam avoided Chen Kai, and he was not harmed.
