Elf: Seriously? You only get a cheat code when you're about to die?

Chapter 270 is a misunderstanding!

The strength of the magic space is related to the user's level; the higher the user's level, the more solid the magic space and the harder it is to break. (Original setting)

Clearly, the power of the Aegislash has exceeded the limits of the magic space created by the Rockruff.

The Flame Team executive stared wide-eyed in astonishment, unable to believe what was happening before his eyes. He knew the strength of the Rockruff best; how could the Trick Space it created be broken?

This Aegislash monster... is it that strong?

However, facts speak louder than words. While the Team Flare executives were still in shock, Aegislash had already launched an attack on him and Rockruff.

Black light flashed on the blade of the Aegislash, and Dark Strike was launched. With a series of whooshing sounds, the sword light slashed towards the Flare Team executive.

Upon seeing this, the Rockruff leaped forward and stood in front of its trainer.

Bang! The Flower Rock Monster was blasted away.

"Flower Rock Monster!" Team Flare executives shouted in alarm.

The Flower Rock Monster wobbled as it flew up, instantly conjuring a shadow ball that hurtled towards the Shielded Sword Monster.

Upon seeing this, Aegislash did not hesitate to activate its newly learned skill after evolution—King's Shield—transforming itself into shield form.

After Dual Blades evolves into Aegislash, its ability "No Guard" will become "Battle Switch".

This is a unique characteristic of all Aegislash monsters, and it is also a characteristic unique to the Aegislash monster race.

When using an attack move, Aegislash with this characteristic will transform into a sword form; when using the King's Shield, it will transform into a shield form.

This change not only brings about a difference in appearance, but also causes a change in the distribution of Aegislash's base stats.

In its sword form, Aegislash's base stats are concentrated in Attack and Special Attack, resulting in a combined Attack stat of 140 (150 before Generation VIII).

In Shield Mode, Aegislash's base stats are concentrated in Defense and Special Defense, resulting in a combined stat total of 140 (150 before Generation VIII).

As Aegislash transforms, a transparent barrier unfolds in front of it, blocking the Shadow Ball from reaching Rockruff.

After catching the Shadow Ball from the Rockruff without taking any damage, Aegislash immediately transformed back into its sword form and launched another Shadow Strike to attack the opponent's vitals.

The Rockruff tried to defend, but without the help of Trick Room, and with Aegislash's speed greatly increased after evolving, it couldn't keep up at all and was instantly cleaved away.

By this time, Komaru's side had already defeated all the other Team Flare members.

Seeing his subordinates and their Pokémon lying haphazardly on the ground, the Team Flare executive knew he couldn't continue, or he would suffer the same fate. So he decisively said:

"Flower Rock Monster, let's go!"

Rockruff immediately followed its trainer outside.

Meanwhile, Officer Jenny and Diantha outside heard the commotion coming from inside the Pokémon Center.

"What's going on inside?" Miss Officer Jenny asked, puzzled.

After a moment's thought, Diantha replied, "Perhaps the trainers inside had a conflict with Team Flare!"

"That's certainly possible," Miss Officer Jenny nodded knowingly.

Diantha thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Gardevoir and I will sneak in and take a look." They can't just sit here and wait to die.

Miss Officer Jenny did not object. "Then please be careful."

Diantha nodded, then quietly led her Gardevoir into the Pokémon Center.

As soon as Diantha left, Angel appeared above the Pokémon Center with Miss Skirt and the others, riding Latios and Latias.

He was completely bewildered when he saw the police surrounding the Pokémon Center.

"What happened? Why is there such a big commotion?"

He patted Latios on the neck and said, "Let's go down."

"Woo~" Latios nodded and swooped down.

Latias followed closely behind.

After Ange landed in a secluded corner, Latios and Latias immediately went invisible. Then, Ange led Miss Skirt, Flappy, and Flappy toward the entrance of the Pokémon Center.

Miss Officer Jenny exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Angie, "It's you!"

"Miss Officer Jenny, we meet again!" Anger greeted Miss Officer Jenny with a smile, then asked with a puzzled look, "What happened here?"

So Miss Officer Jenny told Angel what had happened there.

After hearing this, Anjie looked worried. "The Ice Eevee and the others are still inside. I hope nothing bad has happened to them."

Even with the Twin Swords Sheath and the Koala Pillow there, unexpected things always happen, so he suggested going into the Pokémon Center to take a look.

But Miss Officer Jenny refused, feeling it was too dangerous inside. She believed that if Angie went in, he wouldn't be able to guarantee his own safety, and it could also endanger the safety of the hostages.

Anjie said, "Miss Officer Jenny, I'll sneak in and take a look. Nothing will happen."

"No, Champion Karuno is already inside. She'll play it by ear. Don't make things worse!" Officer Jenny firmly refused.

With a helpless expression, Anjie left the Pokémon Center and settled Miss Skirt and the others in one place. Then he looked around the Pokémon Center, intending to find an opportunity to sneak in.

However, the police were so dedicated that they surrounded the Pokémon Center so tightly that he couldn't find an opportunity.

Meanwhile, inside the Pokémon Center, Team Flare executives and Rockruff escaped all the way to the Pokémon Center's garden.

He peered furtively outside, trying to find an opportunity to escape the Pokémon Center, but after observing for a long time, he still couldn't find a chance.

The police surrounded the area too tightly.

After observing one direction, he planned to look in another direction, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw Diantha appear in front of him with Gardevoir.

Karuno also looked surprised, not expecting to suddenly run into this person.

However, she only hesitated for a moment before immediately commanding Gardevoir to launch an attack on Team Flare executives and Rockruff.

With no hostages in their hands, when is a better time to act?

"Gardedor, Moon Power!"

"Garde~" A full moon appeared behind Gardevoir, and silver light poured out under its control. A silver beam of light quickly formed and shot straight towards Rockruff.

To protect its trainer, the Rockruff quickly used Dark Pulse to retaliate.

The silver beam of light and the black beam of energy collided, but the energy beam formed by the evil wave was destroyed after only a few seconds.

The power of the moon struck the Flower Rock Monster, which screamed and flew backward.

Gardevoir is much stronger than Aegislash, and its Fairy-type moves are twice as effective against Rockruff, instantly KOing Rockruff.

Seeing the Rockweaver fall at their feet, the Team Flare executives instinctively backed away.

Although he had long been prepared to dedicate himself to the great cause of Team Flare, when faced with death, he couldn't help but tremble, and a strong sense of fear arose within him.

Looking at the trembling body opposite her, Karuno said, "You were so arrogant before, what's wrong with you now?" As she spoke, she took a step forward.

The Flame Team officer's face turned bright red, and he took another step back, only to trip over a clump of grass and fall to the ground.

Just then, Aegislash, who had been chasing Team Flare officers, arrived.

Diantha didn't recognize Aegislash and assumed it was with Team Cinderace, so she said, "Oh, you have backup, Gardevoir, Shadow Ball!"

"Garde~" Gardevoir responded, conjuring a huge shadow ball that hurtled towards Aegislash.

The Shielded Sword Monster was completely surprised to receive such a great gift so soon after arriving, and quickly used the King's Shield to defend itself.

Diantha's Gardevoir was excessively powerful; the barrier formed by the King's Shield shook violently under its attack.

"Gardedor, Shadow Ball!"

Diantha gave Aegislash no chance to react. Under her command, one Shadow Ball after another was controlled by Gardevoir and hurled at Aegislash, leaving Aegislash unable to retaliate.

Click-clack~~

Amid Gardevoir's relentless attacks, a crisp sound rang out as the King's Shield's defense shattered, sending Aegislash flying.

Fortunately, Aegislash in Shield Mode has high Special Defense, and King's Shield had already consumed some of the Shadow Ball's power, so it was unharmed.

"Gardedor, Shadow Ball!"

Without hesitation, Karuno decided to take down the Aegislash in one fell swoop.

The Shadow Ball quickly formed and slammed straight into the Shielded Swordsman that had fallen to the ground.

Just then, a petite figure appeared in front of the Aegislash, raised the tree pillow in her hand and gently punched it, instantly shattering the Shadow Ball, which dissipated into specks of black energy.

Karuno looked at the suddenly arriving Komaru in surprise. She still didn't recognize Komaru and thought he was with Team Flare, so she frowned deeply.

Unlike the clueless Team Flare, she immediately recognized the power of the little guy in front of her.

"Gardedor, Moon Power!"

Diantha commanded Gardevoir to launch an attack.

Silver Moon appeared behind Gardevoir, and it controlled a silver beam of light to shoot towards Komamura.

The tree-pillow koala leaped high into the air, its body spinning rapidly as it activated its Ice Spin skill. Rings of solid ice transformed into sharp ice wheels, shattering the oncoming silver beam of light.

Gardevoir truly lived up to its reputation as the champion's ace Pokémon. The silver moon behind it continuously cast rays of light upon it, and one silver beam after another was launched at Komamura in an incredibly smooth and continuous manner.

Any other Pokémon would definitely not be able to withstand such frequent attacks.

However, although Komaru is small in size, it has great energy and easily takes every attack from Gardevoir.

Moreover, Komaru is not a Pokémon that passively takes hits. After repeatedly defending itself, it used a Wood Hammer to shatter Moon Power, and then continued to charge towards Gardevoir without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Diantha's expression changed drastically, and she quickly commanded, "Gardevoir, use Reflect!"

"Garde~" Gardevoir managed to create a barrier in front of her, narrowly avoiding the attack from Komaru.

But before it could even catch its breath, cracks appeared on the barrier formed by the reflective wall.

Diantha and Gardevoir ultimately underestimated Komaru's strength.

Before the barrier completely shattered, Gardevoir used Teleport to create distance between itself and Komaru.

The moment it dodged, the reflective barrier shattered completely.

After landing, the tree-pillow koala did not continue its attack. Instead, it hugged the tree pillow and swayed back and forth on the grass, looking completely calm and collected.

Seeing this, Diantha stopped commanding Gardevoir. Gardevoir stood at a distance, quietly confronting Komaru.

At that moment, Karuno suddenly noticed that the Team Flare executive was trying to take the opportunity to escape.

But as soon as he made a move, the Shielded Sword Monster stopped him, holding its sharp blade to his neck, the cold blade making him tremble uncontrollably.

Karuno raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Huh? They're not in cahoots?

On Angel's side, with the help of Latias and Latios, he finally managed to slip past the police and enter the Pokémon Center.

He hadn't walked far when he suddenly heard a loud noise, which sounded like the sounds of Pokémon battles.

So he followed the sound and was stunned when he saw the two sides facing off.

"Miss Karuno, Komaru, what are you doing?"

Even though Aegislash evolved, its Aura is still its Aura, and Angel recognized it as its own Pokémon at a glance.

But this is not the time to talk about that.

"Angel?" Karunai looked surprised. "You know this tree-pillow koala?"

Anjie nodded. "Yes, it's my family's!"

Karuno: ...

No wonder... it turns out it was all a misunderstanding.

"What...what's going on?" Anjie was still a little confused.

The Aegislash used its soft, ribbon-like hands to wrap around the neck of a Team Flare officer, dragging him like a dead dog to Ange to lodge a complaint:

"Girl~Girl~Girl~~" Ange, while I was chasing this person, she suddenly jumped out and attacked me!

Anja first said to Aegislash, "Aegislash, congratulations on your evolution!"

Then, with a wry smile, she looked at Diantha and said, "My Aegislash is accusing you. It says it was chasing bad guys, but you just jumped out and attacked it for no reason."

The clever Karuno naturally understood what a misunderstanding this was, and explained, equally amused and exasperated:

"It suddenly appeared, and I thought it was one of Team Flare's accomplices! I never expected it to be your Pokémon."

"Yes, I should have known you wouldn't just sit here and wait to die."

Diantha had already witnessed Ange's strength in Old Town, after all, he was a legendary trainer who could command Darkrai.

Anjie said, "It's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up!"

Karuno quickly asked, "By the way, how are the hostages who were captured?"

She thought Anjai had been at the Pokémon Center all along and knew what was going on there.

Anjie turned to look at the Shielded Sword Monster, his eyes questioning.

"Gil~ Gil~" Aegislash succinctly explained the situation inside the Pokémon Center.

After hearing this, Anjie relayed it to Karuno, who breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that everyone was alright.

"Anjie, thank you so much."

Anjay shook her head. "It's all thanks to Aegislash and Komamura. I was out on business earlier and wasn't at the Pokémon Center. I just got back from outside!"

Upon hearing this, Diantha looked at Aegislash and Komamura in surprise, then bent down and solemnly apologized to the two Pokémon.

"Aegislash, Komaru, I'm very sorry, I attacked you without understanding the situation."

The tree-pillow koala didn't pay any attention to Karuno, climbing up Ange's trouser leg all the way to his arms and continuing to sleep soundly.

The Aegislash generously forgave Karuno.
