The female trainers’ ways of repaying their gratitude are so weird!

"How could it appear in a small town like ours..."

The commotion in the crowd grew more and more intense.

Mary keenly noticed that there were abnormal dark red energy fluctuations surrounding the Moltres.

That was the manifestation of Moltres' characteristic "Raging Fury" being stimulated to the extreme.

Chapter 134: Big Crisis in Spike Town!

"Miss Mary! Something big has happened!"

The members of the Shout Team stumbled towards her, their uniforms torn by the energy wave.

Mary's pupils suddenly constricted.

Looking up, the broken hunting net cables were entangled in the molterbird's sharp claws, and shocking blood was seeping out from between its feathers.

"Were they attacked by Pokémon hunters?"

Even more terrifying was the madness burning in its eyes—that wasn't the dignity a Legendary Pokémon should have, but the hysterical rage of a cornered beast.

Her nails dug into her palms.

Who on earth could have forced the legendary sacred bird into such a state, and with what cruel means?

“Huh!!”

With a sharp scream that shattered glass, the Moltres suddenly swooped down.

A creepy dark red energy condensed in its open beak - that was not ordinary fire, but highly compressed evil energy.

Although it will not spread like flames, energy of such concentration will be enough to raze the entire square to the ground once it hits the ground!

"Stop the bear from rushing over, stop it!!"

A dark shadow suddenly passed by Mary.

Her brother, Nie Zi, the gym leader of Spike Town, had stood in front of everyone without them noticing.

"Tap Ruler!!" He threw the Poké Ball quickly, and with a deafening roar, the sturdy figure of the Bear soared into the sky.

It crossed its arms in front of its chest, and dark purple energy formed layers of honeycomb shields around its body.

This is its exclusive move "Intercept", which is an absolute defense that can completely offset an attack.

Boom boom boom! !

Two violent evil energies collided violently in the air, making a teeth-grinding tearing sound.

The Dulan Bear's muscles tensed to the limit, a dark purple energy shield flickering violently around it. As Nie Zi's most trusted partner, it had used this "blocking" move to block the fatal blows of countless powerful enemies.

Block: Completely blocks the opponent's attack. Repeated use can easily lead to failure. Once contact is made, defense is significantly reduced.

"boom!!"

"Hold on!" Nie Zi's nails dug deep into his palms.

however--

"boom!!!"

With a deafening crack, the shield shattered like glass. A fierce gleam blazed in Moltres's eyes, and with a fierce swipe of its wings, swirling with dark crimson energy, a blanket of "burning fury" instantly engulfed the bear.

"Stop the bear!!"

Nie Zi's roar was drowned out by the explosion. Normally, Dark-type moves would have little effect on a Bear of the same stat, but at this moment, Moltres's "Raging Fury" trait was superimposed, and its special attack power was beyond belief.

"Tower ruler!!" Accompanied by a heart-wrenching wail, the blocking bear fell.

The moment it hit the ground heavily, the remaining evil energy exploded radially.

The surrounding buildings collapsed in the shock wave, and concrete fragments rained down on the panicked crowd.

“Ahh!” “Run!”

The screams that came one after another stung Nie Zi's eardrums.

"It's too strong! I have to find a chance to hit it!"

Nie Zi looked up at the firebird circling in the sky, its burning figure looming in the smoke and dust.

The difference between legendary Pokémon and ordinary Pokémon is really huge.

Like the gap between a champion and a gym leader.

Nie Zi couldn't understand.

Spike Town—a marginal town lacking even Dynamax energy—was already struggling in the Galar region. He had worked tirelessly to run the gym over the years, hoping to gain more development opportunities for his hometown. But now...

"Morubeko, aura wheel!" Mary's clear voice cut through the smoke and dust.

Morubeko transforms into a high-speed rotating ball of electrical energy, shattering all the falling debris.

"Morubeko, go help the others first!"

"Moru Moru!"

Mali had already rushed to Nie Zi's side: "Are you okay, brother?"

"Don't come over!" Nie Zi raised his hand to stop him, his eyes looking at his waist, "Leave this to me!"

Before he finished speaking, five red lights burst out from his waist at the same time.

"Cha!" "Rhea!" "Moss!" "Liu!" "Souru!"

Squid King, Turbaned Gangster, Tank Skunk, Tremolo, Absol.

All five Pokémon appeared. Despite the lack of a primary force to block the bear, each Pokémon's eyes burned with a determined fight. Nie Zi wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at the rampaging Moltres. So what if we can't win? At least we have to buy time for the people to evacuate!

Nie Zi rushed forward anxiously, shouting as he ran, "Mary! Quickly evacuate all the residents of Spike Town to a safe area!"

"I know..." Mary was about to respond to her brother's instructions when she was suddenly interrupted by a harsh voice.

"Dust Mountain, use poison gas attack!"

"Dass!!" With this order, thick purple poisonous fog surged like a tide, instantly surrounding Mary.

The poisonous fog was mixed with a pungent smell, making it difficult to breathe.

“Wow, what is this!?”

Mary felt dizzy and her legs were weak, so she had to hold on to the wall beside her to stand.

Cold sweat broke out on her forehead and her face began to turn pale.

She could clearly feel the poison spreading through her body, and every inch of her skin felt a burning and stinging sensation.

"Miss!?"

The members of the Shouting Team screamed at the same time, their eyes widening.

Everyone's eyes turned to Mary in the poisonous mist, and then turned to the source of the attack.

In the gradually dispersing poisonous fog, the figures of a man and a woman gradually emerged.

This duo is all too familiar to the Shouts.

They are the trainers who were obstructed by Team Shout some time ago: Kaga and Dash.

"What did you do to the young lady? The entire Spike Town is in danger now!"

The members of the Shouting Team questioned angrily, their fists clenched unconsciously.

There was anger burning in Ke He's eyes.

"Shut up! This is all your fault, the Shouting Team!"

Dashi added to the other person's words.

"Because of your interference, I lost the game I should have won! Since that day, I have been waiting for a chance for revenge! Now the appearance of Moltres is simply a godsend!"

Mary had been in trouble once before because of the Shouting Team, and even she didn't expect it would happen a second time!

hateful!

Mary was trembling all over. All her Pokémon had been sent to protect the townspeople, leaving her with no fighting companions. Meanwhile, Nie Zi, standing in front of her, would lose the battle in an instant if he didn't concentrate on dealing with the threat of Moltres.

Ke He roared with a ferocious look on his face, "I'll let you know the wrath of our gym challengers! Dust Mountain, ram!"

"Darth!!"

The Dust Mountain roared, its massive body accelerating as it charged towards Mary. The ground shook with its footsteps, sending rubble flying in a terrifying display of momentum.

“…” Mary gritted her teeth and tried to dodge, but she found that her calves were covered with wounds from sharp rock fragments, with blood oozing out. The pain made her movements slow.

Nie Zi's pupils suddenly shrank, and he cried out, "Mary!"

The Shouting Team members were also panicked: "Miss!"

"It's over!!" Ke He and Da Xi showed a triumphant grin.

At this critical moment, Yousheng instantly moved to Mary's side.

"It's so annoying!" Yousheng shouted coldly, and his right fist suddenly wrapped around a surging stream of water and blasted out violently!

"The water flows continuously!"

The violent water pressure turned into several shock waves, hitting the dust mountain hard.

"D-Dass!!"

Dust Mountain howled in pain, and its huge body was blown away by this amazing force and crashed into the Moltres not far away!

The violent impact caused both Pokémon to scream at the same time.

The angry aura of the Moltres and the poisonous mist of the Dust Mountain exploded in the collision, and smoke and dust spread everywhere.

"Huh?"

What did we just see?!
