Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 198 Frozen Spine Dragon: Can't Win at All? I Don't Understand!

At this moment, in the Spine Mountains, there are old rangers, new trainers doing quests, and wild Pokémon.

Everyone is pooling their efforts to fight against these poachers from outside.

There was even a traveler who happened to be passing by. Unfortunately, his Pokémon was just a weak Brutus, and it didn't have much fighting power.

It was precisely because of the combined efforts of everyone that the forest rangers were able to hold off so many poachers for a considerable time, and even gain the upper hand.

But all of this was shattered when a Pokémon that was entirely blue with white spots arrived.

After this Pokémon arrived, it first knocked away several of the poachers' Pokémon, giving the old ranger hope that reinforcements would arrive.

However, in the next moment, a large net suddenly fell from the sky, trapping Suicune once again. For some reason, the old ranger saw despair on the Pokémon's face.

"Whoa...!!"

Twice! This is the second time you've caught me in your net!

Following closely behind the fishing net was the sinister-looking man who had arrived in the air before Su Yu.

Upon seeing the sinister-looking man, the poachers who had been there all showed delight. Meanwhile, the Frostwolf and its companions, acting in the spirit of protecting their Pokémon, dragged Suicune away to protect it before the poachers could react.

Faced with so many Pokémon, the sinister man did not hesitate at all, because his target from beginning to end was only Suicune.

With a wave of his hand, several of his men immediately rushed forward to support the poaching gang besieging the Frozen Spine Dragon.

At this moment, Su Yu arrived on his Growlithe. He glanced behind him and saw that many of Officer Jenny's people had stayed at the previous location to hunt down the scattered poachers, while only a few people from Ridge Mountain had followed.

Some of them are relatively slow, and it will probably take them quite a while to get here.

"It seems... I can only rely on myself."

Jumping off Arcanine's back and releasing Tropius from its Poké Ball, Su Yu observed the situation on the battlefield.

On our side... the old ranger and the ranger doing the quest both have professional-grade Pokémon, while the Spine Dragon's combat power is not yet at the professional level.

As for Suijun...

Su Yu glanced at Suicune, who was caught in the net again, his eyes filled with helplessness. He couldn't rely on this fighting force for the time being; if he released it from the net, it might escape again soon.

Under the concentrated attack of the poachers, the old ranger's forces are retreating steadily and it seems they won't be able to hold out for much longer.

"It seems we must break through these poachers' blockade as soon as possible and go to support the old forest ranger and the others..."

Su Yu thought to himself. He then issued commands to the two Pokémon:

"In that case... Arcanine, after using [Howl], while maintaining Extreme Speed, use Fire Wheel!"

"Tropical Dragon, use Leaf Blade."

Upon hearing this, Arcanine immediately unleashed a long howl, granting itself and Tropius an attack buff.

Tropius also covered the four blades on its back with leaf blades and fought against some of the poachers' Pokémon.

The sinister-looking man sneered at this. In his eyes, Su Yu was probably just a low-level employee within Officer Jenny's system. However, he wouldn't let Su Yu go and help the Frozen Spine Dragons.

He said:

"You only make so little money a month, why are you working yourself to death?"

"Gengar, use Shadow Ball!"

In the eyes of the sinister man, the Pokémon Su Yu possessed were at best professional-level fighters. But his Gengar... was a gym leader-level Pokémon.

Against this low-level employee, his Gengar always completely dominates. With this Gengar, unless the League calls in a Gym Leader-level trainer, there's absolutely no way to catch him.

It was thanks to this Gengar that the sinister man was able to evade the League's pursuit on multiple occasions.

After Gengar used Shadow Ball, the sinister man seemed to already see Su Yu's Pokémon being defeated in one move.

However, the next moment, the tropical dragon's leaf blades easily cleaved through the shadow ball, shattering the sinister man's illusions.

"What?! The Shadow Sphere was actually cleaved in two?"

Before this, Gengar's Shadow Ball was always effective. Could it be that the opposing Tropius is also a Gym Leader level?!

……

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Faced with a surge in poaching gangs, the veteran forest ranger felt increased pressure.

Now it was the poacher leader's turn to burst into laughter. He laughed and directed his poachers to attack, and one by one, the wild Pokémon around the Frostleaf were severely injured and fell to the ground.

Even the sneezing bears that had been playing with the Frozen Spine Dragon before collapsed in front of it.

"Bear Bear..." Run! We can't beat them.

"Spine..." Upon seeing this, the Frozen Spine Dragon hurriedly went over to help the Sneezing Bear up.

At this moment, even Yukidouji was severely injured and collapsed nearby.

"Micro, micro-based..." They're after you, run!

After falling, Yuki-Douji shouted.

Upon hearing this, the Frozen Spine Dragon looked up and around. Most of its forest companions, who had protected it, were now severely injured.

They fell one after another, and then, laughing loudly, the poachers grabbed them and stuffed them into sacks as spoils of their operation.

The next moment, a poacher also stood in front of the Frozen Spine Dragon, reached out and picked it up.

"Hahaha, we finally caught this rare pseudo-legendary! Now we're really rich!"

Upon hearing the sound, the Frozen Spinosaurus looked up at the poacher with resentment in its eyes.

—Didn't Su Yu say that it's only right for capable people to help the weak?

But these bad people, who wield great power, take pleasure in oppressing others. Is this really the right thing to do?

"ridge……"

The Frozen Spine Dragon shook its head.

There's no way to win? I don't understand!

Seeing the resentment in the Frozen Spine Dragon's eyes, the poacher laughed:

"Hahaha, little thing, you're pretty unconvinced? Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Among us poachers, strength is the most important standard."

"With power, you can naturally do whatever you want. But you should talk to your next buyer about this!"

As he spoke, the poacher prepared to anesthetize the Frozen Spinosaurus, put it back in the sack, and take it back with him.

But the next moment, a white light suddenly appeared on the Frostspine Dragon's body. Accompanying the white light, the Frostspine Dragon's size continued to grow, and its weight also continued to increase.

This scene completely terrified the poacher who was carrying it. He immediately let go, and even his speech became stammering:

"This, this... this quasi-god cub actually evolved?!"

The poacher never expected to witness the evolution of a quasi-god cub firsthand. Wasn't it said that while these cubs were extremely powerful in their final forms, they required a long period of accumulation to evolve?

What a coincidence!

As the white light continued to expand, the Styracosaurus finally stood tall on the earth.

Feeling the rapidly expanding power within his body, the Styracosaurus clenched his fist.

"roar……!"

You're right, but this is a Styrodinosaur, 2.1 meters tall and weighing 210 kilograms. Its parents are the Ice Demon and the Frostspine Dragon, and its base stats are... ahhhhh!

Seeing this, a poacher tried to release a Pokémon to ambush the Pokémon. However, the Styracosaurus slammed the Pokémon to the ground with a single claw attack.

This completely shattered the poacher's last shred of hope. To display such strength, the Styracosaurus was at least at the professional level. And at that level, it wouldn't be considered a small fry among poachers.

Seeing this, the poacher simply abandoned his Pokémon, turned around, and ran towards his poacher partner.
