Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

Tetsuya keenly noticed the unnatural reflection coming from a distance.

But his position and environment left him no time to think, for the light had already precisely swept across the Three Cloud Gods in the center of the battlefield.

The earth and clouds, scorched by white flames, growled in pain.

A tornado cloud entangled by Pidgeot and dissipated by the storm;

And the lightning cloud that had just broken free from the encirclement of a group of elves, its body surrounded by chaotic lightning.

The three cloud gods froze the moment they were hit by that strange light!

Then, something unexpected happened!

Their bodies began to twist and expand in the light, and then underwent violent deformation.

The lightning cloud's body became elongated, and the clouds beneath its feet moved to its hands, making it look like a long, thin dragon.

The tornado cloud transformed into the shape of a bird, with its hands becoming wings.

The land cloud resembled a tiger on all fours, with one eye larger than the other, making it stand out prominently.

"What kind of fancy thing is this?"

Lian Wu's eyes widened, not understanding what had happened.

"Roar!!"

Three wild roars, completely different from the previous ones, rang out, shaking the entire Qibao City.

The three cloud gods no longer floated in the air, but landed on the ground, and began to confront Tetsuya, Renbu, and their spirits.

"Is this the spirit beast form of the Three Cloud Gods?"

Tetsuya, who had a greater knowledge base in this area, immediately recognized this change.

In ancient legends about the Three Cloud Gods, they are said to have two different forms.

One form is the humanoid avatar that appeared during previous battles.

But that was just an illusion.

The beast-like forms that have appeared now are their true forms.

"That light just now must have been reflected from the revealing mirror!"

Tetsuya looked in the far distance: "It should be Akromma!"

pity.

They don't have the extra resources to capture the other side now.

Moreover, the enemy is not a weakling without any ability to resist.

The existence of Genesect meant that even Tetsuya and Renbu had to be careful.

Otherwise, the enemy's unreasonable cannon fire is no joke.

Lian Wu's expression changed: "Isn't that terrible?"

The three cloud gods in their avatars were already a struggle to deal with, and now that they have transformed into spirit beasts that look even stronger and more ferocious, how are they supposed to fight them?

"Don't worry too much."

Tetsuya's tone remained calm, with an invisible blue light flowing in his eyes.

"The difference between the avatar form and the spirit beast form is not as big as you imagine. In fact, they are the same in essence, only the focus has changed."

The Three Cloud Gods' aura hasn't actually increased much from their previous appearance to their current form.

Zero's analysis also accurately pointed this out.

The energy concentration within the lightning cloud increased, but the total amount remained the same, and its physical strength slightly declined.

The tornado cloud was surrounded by wind, but both its energy and its physical form were slightly weaker than before.

Unlike thunderclouds, land clouds have lower energy concentrations and higher physical size.

In other words.

The so-called incarnation form and spirit beast form simply represent a redistribution of the three cloud gods' abilities in a way that is more suitable for them.

Lightning clouds focus on energy attacks, land clouds focus on physical attacks, while tornado clouds trade reduced attack power for faster speed.

The results were undeniably good.

But it doesn't quite feel like it matches the high-class image of a mythical beast.

"This is the power of the Three Cloud Gods!!"

However, the Dark Trio wore fanatical expressions and let out arrogant laughter.

Now it's not just Vio who's affected.

Even Asura noticed something was wrong with them.

The two Sages had beads of sweat on their foreheads from nervousness.

Once the Three Cloud Gods are defeated, their fate will not be good—with the intelligence provided by Smura, the traitor who betrayed them earlier, their value will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

Fortunately, though.

"It probably won't be that easy, will it?"

The two of them looked at the seemingly more powerful Sanyun God and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

On the mountaintop in the distance.

Akroma looked at the energy curve on the instrument and showed a dissatisfied expression: "Is that all? What a useless bunch of guys!"

He thought the legendary Three Cloud Gods would bring him even more surprises.

I didn't expect it to be just a simple change in shape.

It's not even comparable to Groudon's Primal Reversion, let alone the Mega Evolution of a typical Pokémon.

Wasting his time.

Akromar stood up with a displeased expression and walked into the plasma destroyer behind him.

"Ok?"

Suddenly.

He stopped in his tracks.

"Why didn't you notify me in advance that you had guests coming to visit?"

Akroma spoke to a corner.

"Humph"

Kuroji and the handsome guy walked out.

"Just surrender obediently!"

We've searched the entire ship; there are no other people or elves inside besides you!

The handsome man shouted.

Although Akroma was a wanted criminal, his crimes were more focused on scientific research.

Even within Interpol, they didn't think the other side's trainer's strength was worth paying too much attention to.

As an elite member of Interpol, the handsome guy is certainly not weak, not to mention his superior, Kuroji.

After confirming that Genesect was not present, the two decided to lay an ambush.

They just didn't expect the other party to be so alert, discovering their presence not far in.

Akroma smiled helplessly: "Really, so you're an unwelcome guest."

He seemed to completely disregard the two people in front of him.

This undoubtedly made Heiji and the handsome guy even more vigilant.

The other party is a high-IQ criminal; they wouldn't make such a basic mistake.

Such behavior indicates a lack of fear or arrogance.

"Centipede King and Gear Monster, they're yours to handle!"

Akroma casually tossed out two Poké Balls.

To the astonishment of Kuroji and the handsome guy, two elves with unknown devices fixed to their heads appeared before them.

Their powerful presence suggests that they are not easy to deal with.

The handsome man took a step back from the bottom of his heart.

As a special agent-type criminal police officer, his abilities are indeed not bad, but not outstanding either.

Even the only King-level bad frog is unwilling to evolve, remaining in its initial form.

I originally thought that no matter how powerful Akromar was, the Pokémon he carried with him was only at the Elite Four level.

Unexpectedly, they were two runners-up.

This is something that can only be solved by Kuroji.

"Greatsword Demon and Scorpion King, they're yours to handle!"

Hei Ci's expression was solemn.

The enemy's strength was clearly beyond their expectations, which was a dereliction of duty on the part of the intelligence department.

But these kinds of things can only be discussed after they're over.

"Greatsword Demon, use Super Horn Strike!"

Scorpion King, Quick as Lightning!

Chapter 1129 Intervention

"boom!!"

The deafening explosion resounded through the sky.

Tetsuya used his superpowers to deflect the flying rocks, preventing himself and Renwu from being crushed underneath.

Although the Three Cloud Gods did not show any significant increase in level or energy after transforming from their avatar form to their spirit beast form.

However, their performance has indeed improved somewhat.

This is probably because their spirit beast form is their true form, so they are more accustomed to fighting.

For Renbu and Tetsuya, this was undoubtedly bad news.

They were only able to barely put up a fight to begin with, and even a slight increase in strength would be enough to shift the entire battle in their favor.

After a brief but intense clash of energies.

Now, standing on the field.

Besides the three Cloud Gods, their side only had Tetsuya's Pidgeot and Blaziken, as well as Renbu's Builder and Breloom.

The three Pokémon, Strike, Master Itachi, and Gigantamax, were unable to battle because they were mainly responsible for defense, and were each recalled to their Poké Balls to rest.

Of course.

Their "sacrifice" is of great value.

The three gods are not in good condition at the moment.

Land Cloud was the first to be hit; its orange body was covered with charred and scratched marks from flames and blades.

If it weren't for the divine beast's amazing stamina and recovery ability, it would have already lost its fighting ability and collapsed on the ground.

The tornado and lightning clouds, breathing heavily, had their beast-like bodies radiating energy fluctuations that had diminished considerably compared to the beginning.

"However, if this continues, it doesn't look good..."

Lian Wu's forehead was covered in sweat from tension and excessive concentration.

This was his first time facing off against a god.

Even before this, he had only seen a handful of mythical beasts.
