Rinko immediately realized the root of the problem and ran at top speed near the garden in the Alola region.

After Barbena and Holina smashed her phone, she lost all means of communication. In addition, it was nighttime and there was hardly anyone around the garden, leaving Rinko in a desperate situation with no one to contact.

"Gateway, Psychic!" ×2

"Gothic~~" "Shanai!!"

Gothic and Gardevoir exchanged a glance, as if they understood each other perfectly. They began to concentrate, each releasing their psychic energy. With their combined efforts, the two different psychic energies merged together, forming a massive psychic wave.

"Damn it~~" The Crystal Chandelier Spirit's barrier was shattered instantly by this powerful psychic wave. At the same time the barrier broke, the Crystal Chandelier Spirit was hit all over by the psychic wave and suffered severe injuries.

Unable to maintain its previous posture, it hurriedly retreated, its figure appearing somewhat unsteady in the night.

"It's really embarrassing."

"Let's just break one of his legs first."

Barbena and Holina, standing ahead, appeared extremely indifferent and full of resentment.

Upon hearing this, Gothic and Gardevoir began to gather their energy, and a psychic wave began to form.

Both Pokémon were very strong, the kind that Chandelure and I couldn't handle.

Their goal is to catch me, right? If that's the case...

That's right, if it were Ash, he would definitely do that.

Despite the near-despairing scene, Rinko's mind was not filled with despair, but rather with the dazzling light of sunshine.

Rinko, who is quiet, well-behaved, conservative, and introverted, originally wanted to run away, but considering that there was no chance of success in running away, she decided to face the moment bravely, just like the person she likes.

At this moment, someone you like will never run away sadly, but will rush forward!

If it were Ash, he would definitely face it head-on. And since they even tried to use me to threaten Ash, I will do everything I can to give them the biggest blow!

Go help the people you like!

Whether it was the encounter with Team Rocket at the luxury hotel or the meeting with the Ultra Beast in the Seven Nights.

Without Xiaozhi, I wouldn't be who I am today.

"Crystal Chandelier Spirit, follow me!"

"Alright!"

Rinko rushed swiftly toward Barbena and Holina, her movements agile and resolute.

"Stop the attack immediately!"

"Use more effective techniques to control her!"

As this scene unfolded, Barbena and Holina hurriedly shouted out.

At that moment, a resolute look appeared in Rinko's eyes.

As I predicted, if they wanted to use me to threaten Xiaozhi, they would never actually get rid of me!

Your actions this time will be fatal!

"Gothia..." "Shanai..."

Both Gothic and Gardevoir noticed Rin's movements. They were charging up for a psychic attack, but now they stopped charging.

At that very moment, Rinko and the Crystal Lamp Spirit had closed in on the two women, coming within just a few meters of each other.

"How foolish! Have you given up? You don't actually think a rickety chandelier spirit can do anything, do you?!"

Barbena's disdainful voice rang out, devoid of any sympathy.

In her eyes, Rinko was about to be defeated and would only be used by them to defeat Satoshi!

"Crystal Chandelier Spirit, unleash the Black Mist!"

"Alright!" Suddenly, a powerful black mist erupted from the Crystal Lamp Spirit's body, which quickly spread out, obscuring everyone's vision.

"He actually used black mist at a time like this?!"

"Calm down! She's already at her wit's end; even if she uses the black mist, it won't do her any good!"

Enveloped in the black mist, Barbena and Holena felt instantly lost and confused, unable to immediately understand what was happening.

But they quickly calmed down. They concluded that Rinko did not pose a real threat and therefore did not immediately treat her as an urgent threat.

However, this confidence did not last long.

"The Abyss of Blazing Fire".

Within the black fog, Rinko's gentle voice carried an intense sense of oppression.

It appears frightening.

"Ughhh~"

"Ugh...what's wrong now?!"

Immediately afterwards, a strong burning sensation suddenly struck, and Barbena and Holina were instantly engulfed in pain, unable to help but scream.

This sudden pain made them instinctively feel scared and terrified, and they realized that the situation was far more serious than they had imagined.

"Damn it!!" The Crystal Chandelier Spirit's "Infernal Abyss" skill erupted in a devastating manner. The ground was torn apart, and flames surged out from the cracks, forming a raging sea of ​​fire.

Abyss of Flames: Envelops the opponent in flames to attack. It inflicts a burn effect 100% of the time, but its hit rate is low, so it needs to be used in conjunction with other moves.

"Gothic~~~" "Shanai~~!"

Its power was incredibly overwhelming, mercilessly engulfing Babella, Holena, Rinko, and the other two Pokémon.

The flames illuminated everything around them and generated a suffocating heatwave. The air temperature rose sharply, and every breath was filled with scorching heat.

The color of the flames ranged from deep red to orange-yellow, and then to bright blue.

"Using the Fiery Abyss at a time like this?!"

"It hurts so much, I have to get out of here!"

Barbena and Holina were instantly engulfed in flames, their bodies surrounded by a sea of ​​fire. Pain and fear made them scream as they tried to run away.

"I won't let you use me to threaten Ash."

Rinko's hands moved closer, and she gripped Barbena and Holina tightly with both hands, making sure they couldn't escape from the vortex of flames.

Want to escape?

Is this all the determination you have?!

If you don't even have this level of determination, don't even think about fighting against me!

"Are you prepared? I am."

Within this flame, everyone's strength was waning, but Rinko's power remained undiminished, showing no intention of letting go.

Letting it go is tantamount to failure!

The intelligent Rinko clearly understood this principle, and with her accumulated gaming experience, she knew that her chances of successfully escaping were zero.

Continuing to run away will only lead to capture and defeat. In that case, it's better to take the initiative and move forward to achieve victory!

1096 The Threat of Barbena and Holena

"Are you crazy?! Let go of me!!!"

Barbena stared in astonishment at the scene and cried out.

What a joke!

Is this woman insane?!

She didn't have that kind of determination, and she hadn't expected things to change in this direction.

"We won't release it!"

"Ash is the most important person to me, so I will stop you even if it costs me everything."

Rinko's gaze grew increasingly intense, as if a layer of flame covered the depths of her pupils.

I will defeat you with all my might, until this purgatory comes to an end.

"What a joke!!"

Barbena's face darkened with anger as she glared at Rinko.

"Huh?!" Rinko sensed something was wrong. Helena, who was just a moment ago, had vanished and escaped from the spot.

"Gardevoir, use Psychic!"

At that moment, Gardevoir used Teleport to teleport Helena from the sea of ​​fire to a safe location on the outskirts.

"Shauna!!"

Without hesitation, Gardevoir immediately gathered a powerful psychic wave. This psychic wave condensed in her palm, forming a bright sphere of light, which she then launched with astonishing speed and power towards Chandelure.

The psychic wave's trajectory was straightforward and without any deviation, directly hitting the Crystal Lamp Spirit.

"Thud!" Impacted by the psychic wave, the Chandelier Spirit was instantly blasted away and crashed heavily to the ground some distance away. After hitting the ground, the Chandelier Spirit curled up in pain, then lost consciousness, and even its flames dissipated.

After the chaos and destruction caused by the Crystal Chandelier Spirit's "Inferno Abyss" skill, Babena, Miss Gothic, and Rinko were all severely affected.

They collapsed to the ground, exhausted and disoriented, clearly severely injured by the flames and gradually losing consciousness.

"My Gardevoir has Teleport, so unfortunately your and Chandelure's attacks failed and you couldn't completely finish us off."

Although Helena and Gardevoir were also affected by the flames, their condition was relatively better. They struggled to stay upright, crouching down weakly, trying to remain conscious.

Their strength was exhausted, and their physical and mental fatigue had reached its limit.

“Hahaha~”

Exhaustion continued to build up in her body, and Holina was panting heavily. She was almost collapsing to the ground. The battle and the impact of the Fiery Abyss had drained her of a lot of energy.

She is known as the Goddess of Peace in Team Plasma. She has a relatively mild personality and has no intention of involving unrelated people in this battle.

Her target is always Ash, and she has a good temper.

In contrast, Barbena was noticeably more irritable.

“You are excellent, and we are somewhat similar. Your final strike impressed me, so I will capture you safely and treat you well without harming you.”

Nevertheless, Holina looked at Rinko with respect.

She truly didn't expect to almost turn the tables in such a desperate situation.

They were so close, so very close, to losing to each other.

Teleportation consumes a lot of stamina. If Gardevoir and Helena had been further apart at the time, they might not have had this opportunity.

Rinko collapsed weakly to the ground and instinctively apologized to Satoshi.

"I'm sorry... Ash..."

...

"Hehe~~ I'm going to the Pokémon Center. Ash, Misaki, see you later!"

The morning sunlight shone on Mingyi, and her face was full of smiles.

She turned around and left, in a cheerful mood.

However, in stark contrast to Mingyi was Xiaozhi. He held his phone, head down, his face devoid of the smile that Mingyi wore, making it difficult to see his features.

Rinko: Ash from Pallet Town, Team Plasma is here to get revenge on you! If you don't want her to get hurt, come to Po Town on Ula Ula Island and let's settle this once and for all!

That's really good...

This message undeniably crossed Xiaozhi's bottom line, putting him in a state of extreme anger.

"What's wrong?" The perceptive Misaki blinked in confusion and asked Ash beside her in bewilderment.

"Something happened, but I'll take care of it quickly! Latias, I choose you!"

Ash decisively tossed the Poké Ball upwards. His movements were clean and swift; as the Poké Ball was thrown, Latias instantly appeared. He quickly jumped onto Latias's back.

"Wait... Did you run into some trouble? I can help you. Bebey has been keeping me company these past few days, so it's inside my Poké Ball. With Bebey around, it can definitely lend a hand."

However, just as Ash was about to take action with Latias's power, Misaki hurriedly grabbed Latias's body, not wanting to see Ash bear the burden alone.

"I understand. Misaki, come with me then!"
