Chapter 117 Underwater Battle

There was no time to mourn his fallen teammate. Immediately afterward, Ronis grabbed the ball and retrieved his Monarch Serpent from the front lines!

He didn't want to repeat Gerhard's mistake. In unrestricted real-world battles, the trainer's own safety is always the top priority!

The Serpent Lord was recalled and then summoned back to my side.

For this reason, Ronis voluntarily gave up the two-stage Special Attack boost that Serperior had just gained after completing "Leaf Storm".

Even so, he managed to condense the purest killing intent in a short period of time—

Instead of trying to rescue his fallen teammate, his target was entirely Chen Mu, who was approaching!

The mask of the gentle and refined young nobleman was finally torn off. At this moment, this young master from the United States raised his voice and shouted the command to break through defenses!

"Die! Serpent Lord, Greatsword Demon, Arrogant Pheasant, focus fire on him!"

Even though Ren Ronis had previously admired Chen Mu's knowledge and achievements, he couldn't help but feel his defenses crumble at this moment.

Along the way, Chen Mu caused them far too much damage.

So much so that he couldn't even spare the time to save his teammates; he had to order the man in front of him killed first!

At this moment, the proud pheasant flapped its wings and unleashed an "air blade";

The Greatsword Demon lowered its head and launched a powerful "water cannon" from the tip of its head;

In order to coordinate with the focused attack, Serperior even used "Magic Leaf" which has a tracking function and will not miss!

In an instant, three skills of different attributes surged toward Chen Mu from three directions.

He dared not delay and quickly retrieved the ball from Kirulian.

"it's useless!"

Ronis roared furiously in the rain, his hair disheveled and his appearance seemingly insane.

He had truly been driven to the brink of despair.

But the next moment, after Chen Mu retrieved Kirullian, he simply smiled slightly at him.

"boom!"

The moment a smile appeared on Chen Mu's lips, a loud bang rang out right behind him.

The Red Ninja's execution and support speed have always been excellent.

A mischievous lightning bolt had somehow lurked beneath the dock's deck and, using the "big bang," blasted a large hole right behind Chen Mu.

Although Electrode is an electric-type weapon and doesn't seem to have much to do with the Fuchsia City Gym, which is a poison-type gym, every ninja from Fuchsia City likes to carry a bunch of Electrode with them.

It's not about how strong they are; they're simply meant to be used as a self-destruct tool.

This habit can be traced back to the ninja patriarch who was about to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Quartz: A-Ju.

The two ninjas assisting Chen Mu at this moment are also very proficient in this art.

The timing of this explosion was perfect.

The tarmac behind him was blown through, and Chen Mu fell backward into the sea, thus avoiding two attacks that came his way!

Only the two "magic leaves" with their own tracking effect made a turn in the air and plunged straight into the seawater.

However, after entering the water, the speed of the magic leaf also decreased sharply.

The next moment, Sylveon, carrying its Poké Ball, followed from the shore and plunged headfirst into the hole in the road that had been created by Electrode.

After entering the water, it flashed a white light and transformed back into Vaporeon, unleashing "Water Pulse" to completely shatter the tracking Magic Leaf.

Seeing that the combined attack of the three Pokémon still missed, Ronis was so angry that he almost ground his teeth to powder.

But at this moment, he didn't even have time to regret it, because he would soon have to face an increasingly severe situation alone!

As Gerhard fell, his Death Coffin immediately went into a state of stagnation, lying down on the spot and turning into a coffin, physically "lying flat".

Even though they were teammates, Ronis couldn't control the other's Pokémon at this moment and could only try to awaken them using "True Word Power".

"Don't sleep! You must fight! Take revenge!"

Death Coffin: "ZZZ——.—""

The coffin lid was firmly pressed down, showing no sign of fraud.

This made the crucial support skill "Switch Field" a thing of the past.

The ninja retrieved the Crossbat that had just been hit by the bandana thug's "Terrifying Face," but the remaining three aerial bat moths were still skillfully using the "Black Mist" skill to suppress the Lord Serpent!

Without teammates to help switch positions, Serpent Monarch was fighting at a great disadvantage.

Despite possessing formidable strength, he was tormented to the point of being unable to lift his head due to the disadvantage in his attributes.

Ronis glanced back at the sea behind him.

Perhaps sensing his thoughts, the ninja preemptively called for backup.

"Coordinates, -, one more lightning strike!"

In an instant, another terrifying thunderstorm descended from the sky, setting off a grand lightning fireworks display on the sea more than 100 meters away from the pier.

The threat is obvious!

This caused Ronis to clench his molars tightly once again.

If the ninja who was reporting the location isn't driven away, jumping into the sea will be the only way to survive. And with his teammates already fast asleep, how can this situation be salvaged?

Until he saw out of the corner of his eye a head suddenly emerge from the sea beside him.

Chen Mu, who had jumped into the sea, swam out from under the pier and appeared in the nearby nearshore waters.

Perhaps out of hatred, to settle old scores, or perhaps to seek a last resort, Ronis made a decision without hesitation after thinking for less than half a second.

With a "snap," he closed his ever-present gold-plated pocket watch, took off the watch and threw them away together, then leaped onto the Greatsword Demon's back in three quick steps, grabbed the Greatsword Demon's special horn with one hand, and shouted loudly.

"Jump!"

Without hesitation, the Greatsword Demon carried him, arching and swaying, until he reached the side of the dock pier, where he flipped over and fell into the sea!

The grass-type Serperior followed its master's lead, unfurling its coiled body and quickly swimming to the edge of the boardwalk before swiftly gliding into the water.

Only the proud pheasant and the Flame King were left on the shore, almost becoming expendable pawns, desperately delaying the pursuit of the two ninjas.

The sniper bullets from behind kept coming, but the proud pheasant blocked them all with its wings, preventing the ninja from interfering with its trainer's entry into the water.

The proud pheasant even took the time to flap its wings and create a gust of wind, throwing the unconscious Gerhard off the ground and into the direction of the pursuing ninja.

It seems they intend to use their teammate's warm body to make a final contribution.

Unfortunately, ninjas are cold-blooded and ruthless. They jumped up and kicked Gerhard away without hesitation.

The coffin lid lying flat to the side trembled slightly, but in the end, no one dared to lift it.

Reaching the edge of the boardwalk and looking out to sea, the ninja realized Ronis's purpose: "He wants to kidnap Professor Chen Mu as a hostage!"

After jumping into the sea, Ronis didn't blindly flee out to sea on the Greatsword Demon. He knew he had neither oxygen tanks nor diving equipment.

Once you surface to breathe, you will be spotted by a ninja who will then summon lightning to strike you!

Without Bobby Dick's private yacht, it would be impossible for him to escape from Cerberus City on his own.

So he had no choice but to do the opposite and chase after Chen Mu without hesitation after entering the water!

Only if he has hostages in his hands does he have a last glimmer of hope of escaping!

Sculptor is a Pokémon that resembles a seal or sea lion. Once in the water, its swimming speed is dramatically faster than its wobbly running on land.

The corner of the chair above his head pierced the water, and he charged menacingly toward Chen Mu, who was rising to breathe.

The psionic crisis warning instantly exploded in Chen Mu's mind.

He sank into the water and saw the Greatsword Demon hurtling towards him like a bullet.

At this moment, familiar memories flooded back like a tidal wave!

Chen Mu was now completely certain that the Greatsword that suddenly appeared and ambushed him at the last moment in the deep-sea area where the wild Kingdra and Dragonite fought several days ago was this very one!

No wonder Ronis's Greatsword Demon is injured now.

Those horrific lacerations on the abdomen and back must have been the work of that giant dragon king.

"Serves you right!"

Chen Mu thought to himself.

Last time in the deep sea, he was the first to warn of the Greatsword's sneak attack and successfully thwarted it with Eevee's "Mist".

And this time, it's Eevee again facing off against Seraphim in the water!

However, unlike last time, when the newly evolved Eevee could only provide support for Kingdra in the sea, this time, she is the one to face off against Sagamosaur head-on!

The Greatsword first heated and pressurized the water surrounding it, and while charging at high speed, it continuously detonated the water around it, bursting out a series of boiling bubbles, and crashed head-on into Eevee with an unstoppable momentum and the sound of boiling water.

Water-type skill: Water Slash!

A fairly advanced water-attribute physical skill with a base power of 85!

Eevee still only used "Water Pulse" to fight!

"boom!"

The water rings and rapids collided violently on the seabed, creating water columns that shot up to tens of meters high on the surface!

On the shore, two light red ninjas watched this scene on the sea, both at a loss for what to do.

Ronis is currently engaged in a fierce battle with Chen Mu underwater, and they certainly wouldn't dare to hastily call for lightning strikes before the two separate.

For the time being, they could only direct their Pokémon from the shore to quickly surround and defeat Emboar and Arrogant Pheasant, unable to help with the battle in the water.

At this moment, the battle in the sea can only rely on Chen Mu himself.

The collision of the rapids churned the seawater, pushing the two humans who were standing close by far away.

Surprisingly, at the center of the water collision, Eevee used its Water Pulse with a base power of 60 to clash with the Greatsword and did not lose any advantage for a time!

This result once again surprised and shocked Ronis, who was swept away by the tide.

When it first boarded the Santo Anu, it looked like a tiny, immature Eevee. How did it grow up so fast?

Are all quartz scholars monsters?

There was no time to think further.

The pressure from the rushing water had made it difficult for him to breathe.

He quickly waved to the Serpent Lord to take him to the surface for air.

At the same time, Kirullian also used her telekinesis to embrace Chen Mu and bring him to the surface of the sea for air.

Suddenly, their heads popped out of the water at the same time, and their eyes met once again in the pouring rain.

This time, however, there was no longer any appreciation or familiarity between the two sides; only naked antagonism remained.

Chen Mu glanced at the shore and said sarcastically, "Those who claim to be fighting for the freedom of Pokémon are now pushing them into the abyss with their own hands. Is this your ideology?"

He said this because at this moment on the dock, Emboar and Argenta, having lost their trainer's command and the assistance of Poké Balls, were completely suppressed, and their defeat was only a matter of time.

But Ronis was clearly deeply poisoned, and Yuan retorted, "It's all for a greater cause!"

"Your so-called 'greatness' is nothing but wishful thinking and self-indulgence. What truly harms Pokémon is your arrogant self-righteousness!"

"That's enough!"

With a shout from Ronis, the Serpent Lord abandoned him and nimbly swam towards Chen Mu!

Most Grass-type moves are very limited in water, but Ronis's Serperior has previously demonstrated its extremely rich move pool.

A burst of intense energy erupted!

Dragon-type move: Dragon Pulse!

Chen Mu, in the water, had no way to escape.

But he doesn't need to hide.

Because the next moment Kirlia activated the "Teleport" skill, teleporting directly in front of Serperior and using her petite body to completely block the Dragon Pulse!

They even reached out and roughly slapped the Serpent's upper and lower jaws, forcing it to shut its mouth through physical means, thus interrupting the spellcasting.

Kirlia's confidence stems from the fact that she possesses Fairy attributes, granting her a natural immunity to Dragon-type moves!

Therefore, type is really important in Pokémon battles.

With its single Grass type and less-than-ideal move pool, Serperior suffers a significant disadvantage in terms of type.

However, at such close range, Serperior is certainly not without countermeasures.

The next moment, he used his thick snake body to tightly wrap around Kirlia and continued to exert force, using the skill "Tighten"!

This move is used by all snake-type Pokémon.

Normally, a powerful Serperior would never bother with such a basic, low-power move.

But now that they're in the water, this move has become the best offensive tactic.

However, Kirlia is not a weak baby.

Since evolving, the little guy has begun to show signs of being a yandere!

Even after being bound by the Serpent Lord, she remained completely calm and refused to back down, unleashing a blinding burst of light at point-blank range.

Fairy-type skill: Magic Flash!

"Tighten" is a skill that deals damage over time. Because of its low level, its initial base power is only 15.

And the base power of "Magic Flash" is as high as 80!

Kirlia would definitely be a winner in such a head-to-head battle!

However, Serperior was now in a fierce frenzy. Even though the intense light burned its body at point-blank range, making its snake body sizzle, it still tightly coiled around Kirlia!

It's all about who can endure and withstand more!

Serperior's basic physical attributes, which are close to those of a Gym Leader, are clearly far superior to Kirlia's!

And more importantly, they were fighting in the water.

If Kirlia can't hold on any longer, the Sea Breath will be enough to make up for the lack of skill damage.

One second—

Two seconds—

The brilliant, dazzling cherry-red fairy light finally gave way and went out.

Serperior sneered, tightening its body further and adjusting its angle to forcefully push Kirlia's head underwater!

It seems Kirlia is in grave danger!

But the little guy's desperate counterattack actually shows that he had placed all his trust in his trainer from the very beginning.

Sure enough, just as Serperior thought it had succeeded, Chen Mu eliminated all interference, immediately took out a Poké Ball and fired a recovery beam, rescuing Kirlia from danger.

However, at this moment, due to the constant harassment from the Greatsword Demon, Chen Mu, who had lost his support and protection, was also underwater and it would be difficult for him to return to the surface to breathe in a short time.

Kirlia, now back in its Poké Ball, still faces the danger of suffocation.

So the next moment, Chen Mu, without pausing for a moment, opened the Poké Ball again and released Kirlia.

Just as the little creature opened its mouth in agony from lack of oxygen, Chen Mu swam over quickly and grabbed Kirulian.

Without hesitation, he pressed himself against Kirlia's mouth and sealed it with his own, breathing into her underwater to temporarily relieve the little guy's suffocation.

At that moment, Kirlia, who was underwater, suddenly opened her eyes, and the Nen power around her expanded, swelled, and trembled violently as if boiling.

In an instant, Kirlia, unable to control herself, was enveloped in a bright white light!
