I caught a Pokémon

It seems this champion truly deserves the title; no wonder A-Du values ​​him so highly!

Xiaochun's gaze lingered on the Crystal Steelix for a few seconds. Just as she was about to marvel at the Pokémon's beauty and magnificence, she suddenly noticed a snake-like Pokémon wriggling nimbly on the outskirts of the battlefield. She exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? You have a Dratini too."

As is well known, as the initial form of Dragonite, Dratini is even rarer than Dragonite, and can generally only be encountered in Dragonite's habitat.

"Yes." Xia You nodded gently. "I caught it on Dragonite Island."

"Dragon Island, huh..."

Xiao Chun pondered for a moment. She had naturally heard of this island before, but unfortunately she had never had the chance to visit it. She never expected that this man had actually been there!

She stared at Xia You for a long time, then exclaimed, "You actually managed to find Dragonite Island. It seems the Elder was right; you are indeed very destined for the Path of Dragons!"

Xia You smiled but didn't say anything.

At this moment, these Team Rocket members, having lost all their Pokémon, have become like lambs to the slaughter.

Although they tried to put up a last-ditch effort with their hunting nets, the power of humans was undoubtedly insignificant in the face of Pokémon, and they could not make much of a difference. They were quickly and easily subdued by the Pokémon.

Seeing that all the Rocket Teams had been eliminated, Xia You finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, during the battle just now, he was actually quite worried that these ordinary team members also had Dark Balls and would steal his Pokémon.

Looking back now, it's clear I was overthinking it.

It makes sense, after all, Dark Balls can not only capture Pokémon, but also steal other people's Pokémon. In this respect, its power has even surpassed that of Master Balls. And such a precious thing, even if Bishas has it, must have a limited number of them. So why would he give it to someone else?

Picking up the scattered hunting nets, he and Xiaochun worked together to tie up all the Team Rocket members and then put their Pokémon back into their Poké Balls.

On the other side, listening to the constant wails of his subordinates in the distance, Bishas glanced at Lance and sneered, "Your efforts are meaningless. Don't think that defeating some minions will make you stronger than me! Hmph, before my Dark Ball, all Pokémon will submit! Your efforts are ultimately futile!"

After saying that, the mechanical spider swung its huge claws, forcing Dragonite back. Then, Bishas took out a black Poké Ball from his pocket and aimed it at Lance's Dragonite.

Lance's eyelids twitched, and he shouted, "Dragonite, get out of the way!!"

A beam of black light shone from the Dark Ball, and even though Dragonite was far away and tried to dodge, it still couldn't escape being enveloped by it.

"Dragonite!!!"

A-Du hurriedly took out the Dragonite's Poké Ball from his waist bag, wanting to recall the Dragonite, but the moment the red light touched the black light, it was canceled out by the black light and lost its intended effect!

Dragonite struggled desperately, but in Lance's complicated gaze, its resistance was futile. Just a few seconds later, it was absorbed into Dark Sphere by Darkshine.

Holding the Dark Orb, Bishas laughed wildly.

"Hahaha! Since you knew I was coming, you must also know who I am. You should have heard that this Poké Ball in my hand is a Dark Ball that can turn any captured Pokémon evil and boost its power to the maximum! No one can escape from a Dark Ball. Now, obey my command and come out, Evil Dragonite!"

As the black light flashed once more, Dragonite, its eyes glowing black, reappeared before Lance.

However, as soon as it appeared, it opened its big mouth and directly sprayed a Destruction Beam at Adu!

The attack was sudden and without warning; even A-du was caught off guard!

The destructive beam arrived in an instant, and in the dazzling light, A-Du could even feel its terrifying heat wave!

But just as the Destructive Beam struck A-Du, it suddenly stopped, as if it had hit an invisible wall, and came to a halt in front of him!

boom!

The energy of the destructive death ray exploded, billowing smoke and flames spreading in all directions, but it did not harm Adu in the slightest!

A-Du lowered the arm that was blocking his eyes, heard a sound behind him, turned around and saw that it was Na-Zi who had arrived just in time!

Sabrina landed next to Adu, but didn't even look at him. Her hair flew in the wind, and she stared intently at Bishas with a cold expression.

Compared to Pokémon, her speed was negligible, so she didn't arrive immediately. But it was precisely because of this that she was able to save Lance's life at the crucial moment.

"Thanks……"

A-Du thanked him, then looked at Dragonite.

Compared to just a few seconds ago, Dragonite seemed to have changed its personality, and it felt so unfamiliar to him.

"Dragonite! Wake up!!"

He shouted, and when the sound reached Dragonite's ears, its body trembled, and a struggle flashed in its eyes, but it was quickly swallowed up by darkness again.

"Oh?" Even the slightest recovery was noticed by Bishas. He grinned maliciously, "It seems you have a deep bond with Dragonite. However, it will only obey my commands now!"

Lance, of course, wouldn't give up. He continued to shout, "Dragonite, don't let the power of darkness corrupt you! Wake up!"

"Hmph, you're so stubborn! How many times do I have to tell you before you understand?!"

A hint of impatience flashed in Bishas's eyes, then he waved his hand and commanded, "Dragonite, what are you waiting for? Take them down!!"

Chapter 308 The Unsolvable Black Light

The evil Dragonite opened its mouth and launched another attack, but Sabrina blocked it again.

This time, Bishas truly began to take the woman in front of him seriously.

"Long black hair, a cold and beautiful face, you must be that woman named Sabrina, right?" He looked Sabrina up and down, then sneered, "I heard that you and that guy named Xia You caused a lot of trouble for Team Rocket? Being able to block the Hyper Beam of the evil Dragonite, it seems you are indeed quite capable. But even if you have extraordinary psychic powers and can block the first and second attacks, can you block the tenth?! In front of Pokémon, humans are ultimately as fragile as children!"

Just as he was about to order Dragonite to continue attacking, he suddenly heard footsteps beside him. Turning around, he saw that Xia You and Xiao Chun had also arrived at that moment.

Before arriving here, in order to prevent their Pokémon from being controlled by the Dark Ball, the two recalled them into their Poké Balls. Xia You only had one Gardevoir by her side, while Xiao Chun only had one Charizard by her side for self-defense.

He glanced at the two of them, then crossed his arms, his face cold, but he showed no sign of panic.

"Very good, it seems that all the troublemakers have arrived, so I don't need to waste my energy looking for you all!"

His tone was confident and cold, and he didn't even glance at his men once throughout, seemingly completely unconcerned about their safety!

Xia You walked slowly to Naz's side, while also sizing up Bishas.

Unlike typical Rockets players or executives, Bisharp's attire is not the standard Rockets uniform, and he has his own unique style.

He had a large tuft of beard on his chin, his hair was tied in a small ponytail, and he wore a yellow mask that covered most of his face, revealing only his nose and mouth, making it impossible to see his features.

Because he was wearing a mask, Bishas's age was unknown, but judging from his voice, he should be at least in his thirties or forties.

He wore a black, semi-transparent bodysuit underneath, which covered his entire body, and a black vest with spikes similar to those worn by biker gang members. Behind him was a red cape with the letter 'R' on it.

Overall, this outfit is inexplicably strange, and quite inappropriate for his age!

After glancing at it a few times, Xia You, like a domineering CEO, curled up a cold smile.

Hmph, what a strange aesthetic!

Compared to my transformed outfit and Gengar mask, it's so much worse!

Your disguise is on a completely different level from mine!!!

After a brief moment of self-satisfaction, Xia You returned to reality and began to ponder how to deal with Bishas.

Dragonite is clearly not doing well; it is being controlled by the Dark Ball, which is affecting its mind, and it will only obey Bishaus's commands.

Faced with this situation, Lance cannot afford to fight among himself and attack his own Pokémon. Moreover, if he continues to bring out Pokémon, they will definitely be captured by Dark Balls again!

For him, it was truly a dilemma.

The only good news is that Dragonite has been trained exceptionally well by Lance, and its various abilities are nearing their limits, so it did not receive much power boost from the Dark Ball and remains within a controllable range.

This can be seen from the fact that its attacks could be blocked by Sabrina.

Xiaochun glared at Bishas and demanded loudly, "Bishas, ​​what exactly is your purpose in coming to the Dragon Sanctuary?!"

"Isn't it obvious!? Of course, we're here to capture the Pokémon here!" Bishas stretched out his hand and pointed at Lance, Xia You, and Sabrina one by one. "Thanks to them and Interpol, most of our Team Rocket's bases in Kanto have been destroyed. We've suffered heavy losses in both manpower and Pokémon, and we urgently need to replenish our ranks."

Hearing this reason, Xiaochun was furious: "So you came here?! You really are an evil organization!"

“This is just one of our targets.” Bishas took out a few more Dark Balls and twirled them in his hand. “If you know what’s good for you, don’t waste time and hand over your Pokémon!”

"Pah! You're dreaming!!"

Shrugging, Bishas sighed rather dramatically, "Since that's the case, then let me see how you're going to face your former Pokémon. Come on, show me, in front of me, Bishas, ​​what it means to struggle like ants!!"

To spout such nonsense in front of an Elite Four member, a Champion, and two Gym Leaders is incredibly arrogant, but with the Dark Ball in hand, he certainly has the right to be so.

With a wave of his hand, Bishas threw out two Dark Balls at the same time, aiming directly at Xia You's Gardevoir and Xiao Chun's Charizard!

The black light emerged from the Dark Sphere and rapidly enveloped Gardevoir and Charizard.

Xiaochun directed Charizard to dodge, while Xia You used the opposite strategy.

A thought struck him, and the next second, Gardevoir raised its hands and used its psychic powers to resist the black light!

The blue light, like a wave, collided with the black light.

But this had no effect at all. The superpower passed right through the black light without interfering with it, and there wasn't even the slightest ripple!

This is difficult...

Xia You sighed; it seemed her method wouldn't work.

When the dark light was right in front of her, Gardevoir used Teleport to move to a safe position. Fortunately, the dark light did not have a tracking function, which allowed Gardevoir to escape unscathed.

Actually, when it comes to Dark Balls, the first thing that comes to Xia You's mind is the strange black Poké Ball she saw in Mewtwo's hands when she battled it on the new island.

Although the two types of Poké Balls have similar functions and colors, there are still some differences.

Bishas's Dark Ball can forcibly capture Pokémon and make them evil, while Mewtwo's Black Poké Ball, although it will not make the captured Pokémon stronger, has a tracking effect and can even directly steal Pokémon from other people's Poké Balls!

Both types of Poké Balls have their advantages. Thinking about it, Mewtwo escaped from Team Rocket, so the black Poké Balls it carries must have been obtained from Team Rocket's technology and modified.

If that's the case, then the two types of Poké Balls do indeed originate from the same source, which explains their similarity and also why Bishas also possesses a Dark Ball!

As for the current situation...

Although Xia You had figured all this out, she had no other way to stop Bishas for the time being.

The only thing he can guarantee right now is that no matter what the outcome of this battle is, he absolutely cannot bring out the three legendary birds and raise the difficulty to hell mode!

While they were fighting, A-Du half-closed his eyes, his mind racing.

He looked at his companions and said in a deep voice, "Keeping hidden like this isn't going to work. Let's attack together and focus our firepower on the Dark Ball in his hand. As long as we can break it, the Pokémon will definitely regain its senses!"

Chapter 309 A Desperate Gamble

Upon hearing Adu's idea, the others exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

Now that things have come to this, they have no better options and can only place their hopes on this.

Without hesitation, Xiaochun was the first to launch an attack.

"Charizard, aim at the Poké Ball in that man's hand and use Flamethrower!"

Previously, in order to avoid being captured by the dark light, Charizard had fled to the edge of the battlefield. Now, upon hearing Tsubaki's command, it returned again, its mouth filled with flames, and swooped down towards Bishas!

At the same time, Adu also released another fossil pterosaur and commanded it to attack from the side.

"You should go too."

Xia You turned around and nodded to Gardevoir. The next second, Gardevoir used Teleport to appear behind the mechanical spider.

Several Pokémon simultaneously bypassed the evil Dragonite and headed straight for Bishalus!

"Trying to win by sheer numbers? How naive!"

Bishas remained calm and took out three more Dark Balls from his pocket. As the Dark Balls were opened, several Pokémon shimmering with black light appeared in front of Xia You and the others.

"My evil Pokémon, destroy the enemy before you!!"

While he was taking out the Dark Sphere, Xia You was carefully observing him.

Previously, because they were far apart, Xia You hadn't been able to see clearly how Bishas used the Dark Balls. Now that they were face to face, Xia You realized that these Dark Balls containing Pokémon had always been embedded in Bishas's red vest!

Before being magnified, the Dark Orb was like a button on the front of a vest, serving a decorative purpose. Whenever it was used, Bishas would take one off and magnify it in his hand.

So, on the surface, he has at least six Dark Balls containing Pokémon!

At this moment, with the Dark Ball being used repeatedly, only two 'buttons' remained on the vest.

but……

Xia You then looked at Bixias's waist pouch. Someone with such a complex personality must have other empty spare dark orbs besides these six!

Having figured this out, he squinted and looked into the arena again. The black light had dissipated, and what appeared before them were three Pokémon of different sizes.

Houndoom, Ursaring, and a Beedrill!

Compared to Beedrill, which she had seen many times before, Xia You focused her observations on Houndoom and Ursaring.

Houndoom is like a black greyhound with two curved horns. It has sharp claws and fangs. Except for its bony structure, it is all black. Its tail is thin and long, like the tail of a little devil or a succubus.
