Chapter 293 Thunder

Anjie and his friends looked in the direction from which the lightning struck and saw an unfamiliar Pokémon roaring.

"Awoo~~~"

With its roar, streams of blue electricity surged from its body.

When Angel saw this Pokémon, he was stunned!

It was an upright cat-shaped Pokémon, with most of its body covered in yellow fur, but the fur on its waist, lower legs, and upper arms was black, and the rest of its body had some blue and black patterns.

It is none other than the Mythical Pokémon of the Electric type – Zeraora!

Zeraora, the Thunder Pokémon, is a single Electric-type Pokémon. It can release powerful electric currents from the paw pads on its hands and feet to create magnetic fields, and can even use these magnetic fields to move quickly through the air.

However, it's worth mentioning that Zeraora is different from other Electric-type Pokémon. It doesn't have any organs that can generate electricity, so it needs to draw electricity from the outside and store it in its body.

Under normal circumstances, naturally occurring lightning strikes are the most direct way for it to obtain electricity, but if there are no lightning strikes in its natural environment for a long time, then it will have to find other ways.

Fortunately, Azot has not experienced any thunderstorms recently.

Just then, a staff member rushed over to the factory manager and said, "Manager, it was that Pokémon that absorbed our electricity, which is why the electricity disappeared for no reason."

The factory manager, looking at the streaks of lightning, said, "Never mind that, hurry up and take shelter so you don't get caught in the crossfire."

"Yes!" The staff member hurriedly fled.

Himeya asked in confusion, "What kind of Pokémon is that? It's so strong!"

Ange replied, "That's the Mythical Pokémon Zeraora!"

"A mythical Pokémon?" Himeya and Factory Manager Finn exclaimed simultaneously.

"Yes!" Anjie nodded.

"But how come a Mythical Pokémon is here?" Himeya asked in confusion.

Thinking of Zeraora's situation, Ange guessed and replied, "Zeraora doesn't have organs that generate electricity. It probably sneaked into the energy factory to replenish its power."

Factory Manager Finn nodded and said, "That is indeed possible. Because of the existence of the Sacred Diamond, our energy factory has a very sufficient amount of electricity. That is probably why it attracted Zeraora."

Zeraora and Aegislash had already started fighting, but Aegislash was clearly no match for Zeraora and could only keep defending.

Because of the repeated use of the King's Shield, its success rate has continued to decline.

Finally, when Zeraora attacked with Thunder Punch, Aegislash failed to use King's Shield again and was knocked away.

Just as Zeraora was about to deliver another blow, a figure appeared in front of Aegislash and used Dazzling Magic to clash with Zeraora.

The figure was none other than Himeya's ace Pokémon, Shiny Gardevoir.

But Gardevoir was clearly no match for Zeraora, and it was forced to retreat continuously under Zeraora's attacks.

At this moment, Himeya took out a Key Stone and shouted at Gardevoir, "Gardevoir, Mega Evolve!"

As she finished speaking, the Mega Bracelet on her wrist and the pendant around Gardevoir's neck reacted strongly to each other, with countless rays of light bursting from the two stones and then connecting together.

Within the light, Gardevoir's appearance changed, and when the light faded, a psychic queen appeared before everyone.

Himeya commanded, "Gardedoll, Moon Power!"

"Garde~" Gardevoir responded, and a huge silver moon appeared behind it. Then, countless moonlight gathered in its palm and finally turned into a silver beam of light that poured down on Zeraora.

However, Zeraora's figure swayed for a moment, and then disappeared from the spot in the next second.

In the blink of an eye, it arrived beside Gardevoir and used its signature move, Plasma Lightning Punch, to strike Gardevoir.

However, Gardevoir, being a Psychic-type Pokémon, has extremely keen senses. The moment Zeraora got close, it noticed it and immediately used Teleport to dodge.

Unfortunately, it underestimated Zeraora's speed. When it appeared on the other side, Zeraora flashed back in front of it and threw a punch.

Unable to dodge in time, Gardevoir had no choice but to erect Reflect for defense.

However, given Zeraora's level, the Reflector was instantly smashed to pieces the moment it was erected.

"Garde~~" Gardevoir screamed and was sent flying backward.

As expected, Gardevoir lost its ability to battle and reverted from its Mega Evolution state.

"Gardevoir!" Himeya exclaimed, and immediately used a Poké Ball to recall Gardevoir to prevent her from being attacked by Zeraora again.

"Awoo~~" Zeraora roared to the sky upon seeing this, and streaks of blue electricity spread out from it.

It is trying to intimidate people with this.

Himeya, holding Gardevoir's Poké Ball, said with a wry smile, "I was too arrogant, actually daring to dream of matching a Mythical Pokémon..."

Anjie smiled and comforted her, saying, "You're a trainer, so it's good to be brave enough to take on challenges. There's nothing shameful about failing."

Himeya smiled upon hearing this, then looked at Zeraora and asked, "But what about Zeraora?"

Anjie said, "Of course, I'll take care of it!"

He then looked at Zeraora and said, "Zeraora, you broke into our factory without permission to steal electricity and even assaulted someone. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Upon hearing this, Zeraora, who was roaring, paused, feeling a little guilty.

However, its hesitation was only momentary, and it quickly looked at Anjie and the others with a wary expression.

Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, he wouldn't be able to stop me from absorbing electricity!

Seeing this, An Jie laughed and said, "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Although Zeraora's level is quite high, Angel is confident that he can handle it. This Zeraora's level is not even as high as Darkrai's!

As she spoke, a Poké Ball appeared in Angel's hand. With a flash of light, Metagross appeared opposite Zeraora.

"Meta~" Metagross roared at Zeraora after it appeared, startling Zeraora.

Metagross has the same base stats and IVs as Zeraora, but its level is slightly lower.

But it's okay, we have a trump card, the advantage is on our side!

Thinking this, Ange said to Metagross, "Metamorphoses, are you ready?"

"Meta~" Metagross responded to Ange.

Is this finally the first time? Metagross felt a little excited.

Ange pulled out his Key Stone and shouted, "Metamorphose, unleash your true power, Mega Evolve!"

Wow, this is so cringeworthy, and a little embarrassing at the same time!

As Anjie finished speaking, a dazzling light erupted, beams of light shooting out from the Key Stone and Mega Stone, then intertwining with each other.

Finally, the light completely enveloped Metagross, causing its size to drastically change. When the light dissipated, a brand new, steel-bodied Pokémon appeared before everyone, its massive body exuding an aura of oppression.

Realizing that its opponent was no ordinary opponent, Zeraora's expression became extremely serious. Before Ange and the others could react, it launched an attack on them, using its signature move, Plasma Lightning Fist.

Anjie said, "Metamorphosis, Comet Fist!"

"Meta~" Metagross responded, its four huge arms coming together, its whole body enveloped in white light as it crashed into Zeraora.

boom!!!

With a loud bang, Zeraora was sent flying backward, crashing hard into a machine and denting it.

Seeing this, Factory Manager Finn was heartbroken and jumped up and down, crying out, "Oh dear, my equipment! My equipment!"

This is all money!

Zeraora flipped and leaped up, his body enveloped in lightning, and charged at Metagross once more.

This time, instead of attacking Metagross directly, it used high-speed movement to circle around Metagross continuously.

Zeraora was already fast, but with the added speed boost, it became even faster. Himeya and the others could only see afterimages.

In terms of speed, Metagross is definitely no match for Zeraora, so we can only rely on defense.

Ange commanded Metagross, "Metagross, Iron Wall!"

As he finished speaking, a metallic luster flashed across Metagross's body, and its defense increased dramatically.

After distracting Metagross, Zeraora launched a sneak attack, punching Metagross in the face, sending countless electric currents coursing through Metagross's body.

"Meta~" Metagross let out a painful groan.

Zeraora's level is what it is, and even though Metagross itself has a strong defense and uses Iron Defense to enhance its defense, it still can't help but feel pain.

Fortunately, although it hurts, the injury isn't serious.

Zeraora intended to retreat after one attack, but Metagross wouldn't let it have its way. The next second, Zeraora found itself unable to move.

Don't forget, Metagross is not only a Steel-type Pokémon, but it also has Psychic-type abilities!

Although superpowers weren't its strong suit and it couldn't restrain Zeraora for too long, it was enough.

The moment Zeraora froze, Metagross's four arms had already firmly restrained it.

"Metamorphoses, crush them!"

As Angel finished speaking, Metagross's four steel claws tightened continuously, and Zeraora let out a painful howl.

Ange didn't want to hurt Zeraora too badly, so he commanded Metagross, "Metagross, throw it out."

"Meta~" Metagross nodded, released Zeraora, and threw it away.

boom!!!

With a loud bang, another piece of equipment was smashed.

"My equipment! Be careful, be careful!" Factory manager Finn burst into tears.

However, at that moment, a large amount of current flowed out of the damaged equipment. This current was absorbed by Zeraora, and its injuries were quickly fully healed.

Oh no! Zeraora's special ability is Electricity Storage (unaffected by electric-attribute skills, and recovers a certain amount of HP when attacked by electric-attribute skills)!

By the time Angel realized the situation was bad, Zeraora had already used his speed advantage to disappear from the spot.

It transformed into streaks of afterimages, darting between the factory's equipment and relentlessly attacking each piece of equipment.

As the equipment was damaged, a large amount of current surged out and converged on Zeraora, causing Zeraora to let out a triumphant roar.

"Awoo~"

It vanished from its spot with a triumphant air, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared opposite Metagross, throwing a punch at it.

Metagross, of course, didn't hesitate to throw a punch.

Boom! A deafening roar erupted as the shockwave from the collision of the two Pokémon was so intense it was impossible to open one's eyes.

Zeraora still couldn't beat Metagross in the head-on clash and was knocked away again.

However, the current flowing through the device quickly converged on it, and its injuries were healed in the blink of an eye. Zeraora became lively and energetic again.

This time was no different; it charged at Metagross without hesitation.

It is clear that it intends to wage a war of attrition. The energy plant has plenty of electricity, and as long as there is enough current, it will be invincible.

Metagross is strong, but its stamina is ultimately limited.

Looking at the spirited Zeraora, Angel chuckled softly.

Has Zeraora forgotten who controls the factory?

All that could be heard was Anjie saying to Factory Manager Finn, "Manager, could you please shut down all the equipment in the factory?"

"Huh? Oh, oh~~" The factory manager, realizing what was happening, quickly ran away.

Meanwhile, Zeraora was still engaged in a war of attrition with Metagross. When it was knocked away again and was about to continue absorbing electricity to heal itself, it suddenly discovered that all the electricity had disappeared.

ω) It was dumbfounded!

Where's the electricity? Where's my electricity?

It turned out that Manager Finn had already pulled the main switch down for the entire factory.

The energy conversion device has now stopped working, and except for a few batteries that still store electricity, all the current has disappeared.

Just as Zeraora was stunned, Metagross grabbed it again.

"Metamorphoses, crush them!"

As Angel finished speaking, Zeraora was once again gripped by Metagross's steel claws, the tightening claws plunging it into pain once more.

No matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't break free from Metagross's grip.

Seeing this, Anjie pointed to the equipment in the factory that had been damaged by Jeraora and said, "Look at this, look at this, how are you going to pay for all this broken equipment?"

"Zera~" Zeraora turned her head to the side indignantly.

Seeing this, An Jie said, "Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to make you pay for your debt with your body!"

Just then, Factory Manager Finn came running back, panting. Angie turned to him and said, "Manager, what do you think about letting Jeraora work at the factory?"

Factory Manager Finn: ()?

Am I hearing things? How come I heard His Highness saying that Mythical Pokémon are going to work in the factory?

Before Manager Finn could reply, Ange had already thrown out a Poké Ball.

Zeraora vanished in a flash of red light and was collected into a Poké Ball.

Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~ The Poké Ball shook gently, making everyone extremely nervous.
