Chapter 302 Pokémon Gathering (Part 4)

Before the Team Flare members could react, their vision and that of their Pokémon was completely filled with blackness, and then one by one they fell down.

It turned out that Darkrai appeared just in time and activated its Dark Hole skill, putting all the Team Flare members and their Pokémon to sleep.

"Diggle~"

"Yo yo~"

The Diglett brothers and the Four Seasons Deer were overjoyed to see Darkrai, while Doroba, Tyrannosaurus, and Shana also breathed a sigh of relief.

saved.

But it turned out to be Darkrai. Whose Pokémon is this?

So for the rest of the time, Darkrai stayed at the Pokémon Center with two Dugtrios and a Deerclops.

With them around, Miss Joey can work with peace of mind.

After watching the Pokémon leave, Ange took out a Poké Ball and released Snorlax, Inteleon, Throwing Monkey, Volcanion, Babutoprood, Metagross, Aegislash, and Komamura.

He said to the Pokémon, "Gentlemen, given the current situation inside Luna City, the situation outside the city is probably not much better. Could you please make a trip there?"

The city of Miare encompasses not only the urban area but also many surrounding towns and villages, which could not possibly remain unaffected.

"Gang~"

"Indeed~"

"Geng~"

……

The Pokémon immediately replied with firm expressions that there was no problem.

"Then let's all form teams and split up!"

So the Pokémon started teaming up in pairs.

Snorlax and Volcanion formed a team.

Throwing Monkey and Shielded Sword Monster formed a team.

Gengar and Babubo formed a team.

The Thousand Faces and Metagross formed a team.

The lone tree-pillow koala can only stay with Angel, Diancie, and Magia.

After the team was formed, Snorlax rode on Volcanion's back, and it carried him into the sky.

The Throwing Monkey stepped on the Shielded Sword Monster's shield and was carried by it flying eastward.

Gengar grabbed Babutop by the armpit and flew south with it.

The Thousand Faces Aviator flew northward atop Metagross's head.

After flying westward for a short while, the little Snorlax spotted a village in the distance.

So it pointed in the direction of the village and shouted, "Gang~ Gang~" Go there! Go there!

Without the slightest hesitation, Polcanion immediately controlled the steam to fly towards the village.

Just as they were about to reach the village entrance, a huge red plant caught their attention.

Red plants are attacking a green-haired boy, who is commanding a super lizard king to fight against the red plants.

This boy's name is Shota. He is Ash's rival and also Ash's admirer.

He also participated in this league tournament.

He was originally traveling with Doroba, Tierno, and Shana, but a village here called Doroba, who was in Miare City, for help.

Doroba, Tierno, and Shana are all from the city of Miare. The three are childhood friends and live in the village right in front of them.

But they were too busy protecting the Pokémon Center to return to the village.

So Shota volunteered to help check out the village.

He was shocked to find that the situation in the village was even more serious than he had imagined.

Shota's strength is quite good. After his Sceptile evolved, his pair of leaf blades swung so tightly that they blocked the red plant from the outside.

Shota was protecting some young Pokémon behind him, while the villagers held hoes, brooms, rakes and other tools, their faces filled with righteous indignation.

If Shota is outmatched, they will immediately rush in and fight the red plant to the death.

Actually, there were Pokémon in the village before, but those Pokémon weren't very strong and were all defeated by the red plants before Shota arrived.

Just as Shota was focused on dealing with the red plant in front of him, another red plant broke through the soil in the center of the village and grew rapidly, turning into a towering tree in the blink of an eye.

Before the villagers could react, the red plant swept over them, its branches waving wildly.

Shota and the Lizard King didn't even have time to react.

Just as the red plant was about to strike the villagers, a jet of water appeared out of nowhere and instantly shattered the red plant.

Immediately afterwards, Volcanion descended from the sky with Snorlax.

Shota was stunned by the sudden appearance of the two Pokémon, while Snorlax had already nimbly flipped off Volcanion.

"Gang~" it roared, and with its two short legs, it quickly arrived at the roots of the red plant that was fighting the Lizard King, swinging its fiery fist. With one punch, the red plant was instantly burned to ashes by the flames.

The Lizard King was dumbfounded, never expecting that his opponent, whom he had been entangled with for so long, would be defeated in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, the red plant in the center of the village was scalded to death by Polcanion with hot water.

Seeing this, the villagers excitedly ran to Snorlax and Volcanion.

"Where did this Pokémon come from? It's so cute!"

They chattered amongst themselves, constantly touching and stroking the little Snorlax.

"Oh my god~ this fur feels so soft!" an old lady exclaimed in amazement. "It's even softer than my Dorimia's fur."

Another little girl pressed her face against the Snorlax's round belly and said with a look of enjoyment, "It feels so good, I want to hug it forever."

A woman pinched the little Snorlax's cheeks and said, "These chubby little faces are absolutely gorgeous! Do you want to come home with me?"

"Gang~ Gang~" What are you guys doing? Can't you have any sense of boundaries?

The little Snorlax impatiently pushed the villagers away from him and shouted at them in Ange's tone.

Unfortunately, its angry expression lacked any sense of authority, and no one could understand what it was saying. Instead, they were amused and burst into laughter.

Compared to Snorlax, which is popular with women, Volcanion is more popular with men.

An old man tapped on Bolkenion's thick armor and said, "Wow, that's really impressive! Impressive armor indeed!"

An older man gently stroked Polcanion's thick thighs and said, "These legs would definitely be strong enough to help with farm work!"

Polcanion felt an urge to kick the man away.

What the hell? You think I'd help you farm? You have no shame! Even An Jie wouldn't dare order me around like that!

So...humans are just annoying (muttering: except for Ange)!

After playing around with Snorlax and Volcanion for a while, the villagers gradually left because they still needed to tidy up the village, which had been messed up by the red plants.

Snorlax and Volcanion finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Shota walked over and asked, "Um...where are you guys from?"

"G- ...

Upon hearing this, Shota suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. Thank you so much. It's all thanks to your timely arrival, otherwise I would have been in trouble."

"Gang~ Gang~" Munchlax waved its hand, indicating that you're welcome.

"By the way, where is your trainer?" Shota asked, puzzled.

The battle between Snorlax and Volcanion was very methodical, so it couldn't be a wild Pokémon, which is why Shota asked that question.

"Gang~" Munchlax pointed to Luna City.

"Still in Lucerne City?" Shota looked surprised. "Is it alright for you guys to run away like this? Aren't your trainers worried?"

"Gam~ cam~" Munchlax confidently patted its chest to indicate that there was no problem.

At this moment, Porcanion, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.

"Angel has more important things to do in Miare!"

Shota was startled by the sudden sound. "You...you spoke?"

"Hmph!" Polcanion scoffed. "What a fuss, human!"

Shota didn't recognize Volcanion as a Pokémon, so he silently took out his Pokédex and pointed it at it, only to hear the Pokédex say:

"No data available."

Shota was stunned to discover that it was a Pokémon that hadn't been included in the Pokémon collection.

After noticing Shota's actions, Volcanion glared at him fiercely, and Shota quickly and awkwardly put away his encyclopedia.

He thought for a moment and said to the little Snorlax, "Um... how about we team up?"

"Okay!"

Snorlax readily agreed.

So Snorlax and the others teamed up with Shota to clear the red plants around the village.

Meanwhile, Gengar and Babubo, flying south, were passing through a forest when they suddenly heard an explosion. Immediately afterward, a flock of Finch and Fiddlesticks scattered and flew away.

Gengar and Babu looked closely and saw a huge red plant rising from the center of the forest, much larger than any red plant they had seen before.

The key point is that Pokémon are struggling and hanging from the messy branches of this red plant.

Beedrill, Rattata, Finch, Mankey, Aphelios, Oddish, Teddiursa, Diglett... these Pokémon hang on the tree like fruits.

No matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't break free from the red plants' hold.

"Ya-ge~"

"Ya-ge~"

……

The escaped finches and rocket finches spat out bursts of sparks to attack the red plant, but their power was too weak to do anything to it.

"Geng~~"

Seeing this, Gengar immediately threw the Babu Ground Pole in its hand.

Upon sensing Babutubo's presence, the red plant immediately controlled its branches to lash out at it.

Seeing this, Babu Tubo unleashed his Flame Fist, smashing out a punch that instantly reduced the branch to ashes.

Then it landed on the trunk of the red plant and, enveloped in lightning, quickly ran between the branches and twigs, rescuing the bound Pokémon one by one with its help.

Seeing this, the Finch and Finch flew over and caught the falling Pokémon.

Gengar wasn't idle either. It swung its arms, sending out bursts of eerie blue flames that burned all the branches that tried to grab other Pokémon to ashes.

Soon all the Pokémon were saved, and the red plant was burned by Gengar and Babu to the point that only a bare trunk remained.

"Babu!!!" At this moment, Babu the Groundhog placed his hands on the tree trunk, let out a roar, and his whole body was crackling with electricity.

It activated its unique skill, Electric Double Strike.

As a powerful electric current erupted, the red plant turned to ashes amidst the streaking electric light.

After the red plant disappeared, Babubo fell uncontrollably to the ground. Gengar caught it and carried it south.

"Babu~ Babu~" Babu Groundhog flew around while waving to the Pokémon behind him.

The Pokémon watched with gratitude as Babu and Gengar left.

Soon a town came into view of Gengar and Babu. This town was also affected by the red plants, so the two Pokémon once again threw themselves into the rescue work.

On the other side, not long after the Thousand Faces and Metagross flew north, they suddenly saw a red plant growing by a pond.

Upon seeing this, the Pokémon living near the pond immediately fled in panic.

Upon seeing this, the Thousand-Faced Aviator and the Metagross immediately flew over there, intending to destroy the red plant.

However, before they could get close to the pond, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in the center of the pond, and then a dragon-shaped Pokémon flew out from it.

"Ugh~~"

After letting out a melodious dragon roar, the Pokémon opened its mouth and unleashed a Dragon Pulse, instantly blasting the red plant into dust.

"Intai~ Intai~" Upon seeing this Pokémon, Inteleon immediately waved excitedly at it.

It turns out that the Pokémon that suddenly appeared was Giratina, the one who had saved Umbreon and the others.

"Huh~" Giratina was also surprised to see the Thousand Faces.

Because Giratina has been frequently visiting the Nibel Plateau recently, it has become familiar with Angel and the Pokémon on the plateau.

Once they got close, the three Pokémon began to interact amicably.

Through their conversation, Thousand Faces and Metagross learned that the Distortion World, which is closely related to the real world, had also been affected by the great disaster in Lumiose City.

In an effort to quickly restore order to the real world, the Inverted World is shrouded in toxic fog.

This exhausted Giratina, as it had to constantly clear away the poisonous fog.

Giratina couldn't stand the poisonous fog filling the Reverse World any longer, so she came out to check it out.

"Intai~ Intai~"

After listening to Giratina's words, Thousand Faces extended an invitation to Giratina, proposing to act together.

"Ah~" Giratina readily agreed, and even barked twice at the Thousand Faces.

"Hey~" Thousand Faces understood immediately and jumped from Metagross's back onto Giratina's back.

"Roar~" Giratina roared and carried Millefuji northward, with Metagross close behind.

While the other three teams were doing well, the Aegislash and Throwing Monkey teams encountered some trouble.

Not long after the Aegislash flew, they saw a figure flying through the air. Who else could it be but Fladali?

After escaping the battle with Ash, Alain, and Pachira, Lysandre used a small flying vehicle to fly towards Team Flare's secret base, because something very important was hidden there.

He just didn't expect to encounter the Shielded Sword Monster and the Throwing Monkey.

The Shielded Swordsman and the Throwing Monkey, of course, recognized the culprit who had caused all this, and therefore did not hesitate to block Fladali's path.
