Chapter 139 The Flames of Wrath and the Guardian Stone

Then the man in black took out a Poké Ball, from which emerged a Mighty Brawler. The Mighty Brawler dragged Infernape out of the cell by a handle on the cage.

Before long, Infernape was chained to a cross, and the man in black was whipping it mercilessly with a leather whip.

"Serves you right for being so arrogant! Serves you right for being so arrogant!"

"High-calorie~"

No matter how many times the man in black whipped the Infernape, it did not yield in the slightest, its howls expressing its resentment towards the man in black.

"Very good! Very good! You've got a tough temper. I'll see how long your backbone lasts." With that, the man in black threw the leather whip aside and pulled out a remote control from somewhere.

The man in black grinned and pressed the gold button on the remote control. The next second, a strong current of electricity erupted from the cross on Infernape's back and flowed throughout Infernape's entire body.

"High calories!!!"

The Infernape howled mournfully, its voice echoing throughout the room.

Hahaha~~~

Seeing the infernal monkey's miserable state, the man in black laughed heartily, "Try glaring at me again! Try glaring at me again!"

Ignoring the excruciating pain, Infernape suddenly looked down at him, its eyes filled with hatred and intimidation, which frightened the man in black into retreating repeatedly.

Once he came to his senses and realized he had been frightened, the man in black became enraged. He sneered, "Fine! I'll see how long you can hold out."

As he spoke, he pressed the blue button on the remote control in his hand, and immediately the floor beneath Infernape cracked open, revealing a pool of water.

"You're known for your bad temper, aren't you? Then go cool off in the pool!" the man in black said with a cruel smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the cross binding Infernape began to slowly descend, and Infernape's body was carried along and slowly submerged into the pool until it sank completely to the bottom.

This must be the most painful torture for a Fire-type Pokémon!

After being submerged for more than ten minutes, the Infernape was slowly brought to the surface by the cross. Its head was lowered, the flames on its head had been extinguished, and water droplets dripped down its fur.

Seeing Infernape's disheveled appearance, the man in black laughed heartily again. He walked over to Infernape and slapped its cheek hard.

"Go ahead and yell, yell some more! Why did you stop yelling? If it weren't for the employer, I'd kill you! You damned beast."

Suddenly, the Infernape raised its head, its eyes burning with an indomitable flame, and opened its mouth to bite the man in black. Unfortunately, the man in black was prepared and dodged its attack in an instant.

"You little brat, trying to ambush me again? I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget."

As he spoke, he pressed the button again, and the cross binding Infernape sank once more, until Infernape was completely submerged in water once more.

Time passed second by second, and the man in black was completely immersed in the pleasure of torturing the Infernape. This time, he soaked the Infernape for a full quarter of an hour.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the man in black whistled in a good mood and prepared to drag Infernape out.

However, at that moment, the pool suddenly began to boil, and at the same time, a crimson substance was violently churning at the bottom of the water.

"What's going on?" The man in black was taken aback.

Just as he was about to go forward to check, the pool suddenly exploded, with water and fire splashing in the air at the same time. Infernape jumped out of the pool with its eyes red and its body wrapped in terrifying flames.

"No...don't come any closer!"

The man in black instinctively stepped back, then took out a Poké Ball and released Iron Fist.

"Iron Palm Warrior, grab it...grab it for me!"

Iron Palm Warrior rushed forward and raised his fist to attack Infernape.

"High-calorie~"

The Infernape roared again, its fury sending shivers down the spine of the man in black. The flames engulfing its body burned even more violently.

The next second, an incredibly thick pillar of fire shot out, instantly engulfing the Iron Palm Warrior and grazing past the man in black's cheek.

The pillar of fire disappeared, the Iron Palm Warrior collapsed to the ground, and the man in black, terrified, fell to the ground, his groin gradually becoming wet with some kind of liquid.

He watched as the Infernape approached him step by step, filled with terror, retreating while muttering to himself:

"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

"High-calorie~"

Infernape leaped high into the air and slammed its fist down at the man in black.

Thud! With a loud crash, the man in black was knocked to the ground, and Infernape's fist slammed into his face, cracking the floor beneath his head.

The man in black's face was visibly distorted.

"High calories~ High calories~~"

However, Infernape was still not satisfied and continued to punch the man in black, breaking his ribs, arms, and thighs one by one, his screams echoing in the empty room.

Hearing the commotion, the other people at the training ground rushed over. Upon seeing the man in black's miserable state, they were horrified and immediately took out their Poké Balls to release their Pokémon, hoping to catch Infernape.

At this point, Infernape had completely lost its mind. It frantically weaved through the attacking Pokémon, knocking down a Pokémon with each punch it swung, displaying terrifying power.

The Infernape's power exceeded their expectations, and in no time the scene was a complete mess.

After defeating all the Pokémon, Infernape charged into the crowd, injuring everyone before escaping the room.

It wreaked havoc in the animal training grounds, setting everything ablaze in its wake. Everyone who tried to stop it was defeated, and soon the entire training grounds were ablaze.

In a corner of the royal city of Azot, an explosion suddenly occurred, and then a fiery monkey covered in flames soared into the sky. The crimson flames spread like a storm, dyeing the night sky red.

It leaped onto the roof of a house and began to run and jump rapidly along the ridge, traversing half of the royal city of Azot in the blink of an eye.

The Infernape caused a great commotion in the royal city. Countless flames flew up wherever it ran, setting houses and streets ablaze. People screamed in the darkness, and the sounds of police cars and fire trucks filled the air.

After getting off the Ferris wheel, Anjie and Tianxi were about to go home. After walking a few steps, Anjie noticed the relaxed smile on Tianxi's face and asked:

Did you have fun today?

Tianxi nodded: "Happy."

Anjie patted its head and smiled, "Then my efforts weren't in vain."

At this moment, Tianxi suddenly stopped and gave the diamond in her hand to Ange.

"Anjie, this is for you."

Anjie stared at the large, sparkling diamond for a moment, then took it and smiled, "Is this a thank-you gift for me?"

Diancie nodded with a grin, "Yes, although it will disappear soon."

Anjie solemnly placed the diamond into her breast pocket and gently patted it, "I will cherish it well before it disappears."

"That's a deal!" Diancie said with a bright smile.

As Tianxi looked up, she suddenly saw a flash of light at the very top of the Ferris wheel, and asked in confusion, "What's that?"

Anjie squinted and looked over, but it was too far away for him to see clearly, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know, the lights?"

However, the next second, the flame descended from the sky with a trail of fire.

Bang! ! !

A deafening roar erupted, the ground cracked, and countless sparks flew in all directions. A raging Inferno Monkey descended upon Ange and Diancie.

"High-calorie~~"

The Infernape let out a long howl, and the flames above its head exploded in a radial pattern, igniting everything around it—flowers, trees, houses, and buildings—all bursting into flames.

Although there were fewer people in the amusement park at night, it wasn't deserted. People were frightened and immediately began to run away in a panic.

Diancie stood in front of Ange, erecting a wall of light that blocked all the flames.

Anjie was stunned by this sudden scene. Where did this Infernape come from?

But before he could think any further, Infernape launched an attack on him and Diancie. It leaped over Ange and Diancie's heads and arrived beside Ange in the blink of an eye, raising its flame-wrapped fist to smash at Ange.

Anja reacted quickly, leaping to the ground beside him to dodge Infernape's attack. Infernape continued its pursuit of Anja, but Diancie blocked its path and erected a Reflector.

"High-calorie~~"

The Infernape roared and slammed its fists into the reflective barrier.

Click-clack~~

A shattering sound rang out, the Reflector Wall shattered into pieces and disappeared, and Diancie was sent flying by Infernape's punch.

"Tianxi?"

Anjie yelled, but at that moment Infernape swung its fist at him. Without thinking much, Anjie also threw a punch to meet Infernape's attack.

boom!!!

The impact of their fists clashing created a shockwave.

The moment his fist collided with Infernape's, Ange attached all of his aura to his fist. Through the aura, he could clearly sense Infernape's anger and resentment.

What exactly happened? Why is Infernape so angry?

These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. In terms of strength, Ange was no match for Infernape, so he was sent flying and crashed hard into the bushes behind him.

His strong physique prevented him from suffering any injuries.

Infernape relentlessly pursued Anjie, appearing beside him again in the blink of an eye and throwing a punch at him. Anjie rolled on the ground to dodge the punch.

At that moment, a beam of yellow-green light shot out, knocking the enraged Infernape away.

It's Diancie's Power Gem!

"Angie, are you alright?" Tianxi quickly came to Anjie's side.

Anjie shook her head. "I'm fine. How about you?"

Tianxi: "I'm fine too."

After saying that, they both looked at Infernape. Because of Diancie's attack, Infernape was even more furious. After getting up from the ground, it opened its mouth and spat out a pillar of fire.

In an instant, the entire amusement park turned into a sea of ​​fire, and it and Anjie found themselves in the center of the fire, with scorching waves of heat sweeping towards them.

In the distance, Diancie could even see tourists fleeing in panic amidst the flames.

Looking at Ange, then at the amusement park that resembled purgatory, Diancie's mind was filled with cries and screams. For some reason, she suddenly remembered Xerneas's words:

You yourself are the one who gives birth to life.

At this moment, Infernape turned its gaze to Anjie again, opened its mouth and spat out a pillar of fire, aiming directly at Anjie.

As the pillar of fire grew larger and larger in his line of sight, Ange was about to remind Tianxi to hide with him when he saw Tianxi walk in front of him with a resolute expression.

Diancie stretched out her hands, and a large amount of pink energy gathered in front of her. Then, to Ange's astonishment, Diancie's entire body radiated a dazzling, colorful light.

At the same time, Angie didn't notice that the diamond on his chest, given to him by Diancie, was also shining brightly.

Because of the overwhelming radiance emanating from Diancie, the brilliance of the diamond on Ange's chest was overshadowed.

In the light, Diancie's appearance was rapidly changing. The rocks on her body disappeared and were completely transformed into diamonds. The diamond crown on her head became heart-shaped, with two pink ribbons hanging down from it. Prismatic diamonds extended from the lower part of her body, forming her magnificent long dress.

Diancie has Mega Evolved!

Anjie was stunned. How could it have suddenly evolved?

A gigantic pink diamond materialized in front of Mega Diancie, blocking Infernape's Flamethrower.

Anjie's gaze was completely fixed on the pink. "That's... a sacred diamond?"

The giant diamond was pushed forward by Diancie, gradually pushing back the flames of the Infernape, eventually annihilating it.

After the flames dissipated, the enormous diamond also vanished in an instant, turning into countless points of light. A large amount of Fairy and Rock-type energy spread out from Diancie, permeating the entire amusement park.

The power gathered by the sacred diamonds is immense!

Covered by Fairy and Rock-type energy, the flames created by Infernape gradually died down, and the amusement park was finally saved.

After a flash of light, Diancie exited her Mega Evolution state and collapsed weakly to the side.

Upon seeing this, Anjie rushed over and caught Tianxi.

"Tianxi, are you alright?" he asked worriedly.

Tianxi shook her head in Anjie's arms. "I'm fine, just a little exhausted. I'll be fine after a short rest."

Creating sacred diamonds is no easy task!

Hearing this, An Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, did I just create a sacred diamond?" Diancie asked excitedly.

"Yes, it was created! It even defeated Infernape and put out the fire at the amusement park! It's amazing!" Angie said with a proud look on his face.

At this point, Infernape collapsed from exhaustion.

Diancie chuckled twice, then turned to Infernape and said, "That Infernape is badly injured, let's take it to the Pokémon Center!" As she spoke, she helped Ange stand up by the arm.

After confirming that Diancie was really alright, Ange ran to Infernape's side to check on it. When he found the dense wounds and scars all over its body, he was shocked.

What... exactly did Infernape go through?

Such injuries were beyond his ability to handle, so he decided to take Infernape to the Pokémon Center.

But as soon as he touched Infernape's body, he was burned by the scalding temperature and withdrew his hand.

I recommend the new book, *Pokémon: The Retired Champion's Daily Life in His Second Cycle*.

A friend wrote this about the daily life of a retired champion who works as a school principal and a part-time student. You can check it out if you're interested.
