Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Chapter 839 The Real Crisis

“People never think they have too many resources,” Chi Ri said coldly. “In order to create the ideal new world, you two should hand over the stone tablets you have.”

"Don't even think about it!"

The two attacked simultaneously, marking their second encounter with Chi Ri. Both were burning with pent-up frustration, eager to vent their pent-up anger from the previous fight.

"Artificial cell egg, use True Qi Bullet!" Cattleya launched the first attack, a huge True Qi Bullet drawing a dazzling trajectory in the air, heading straight for the blazing sun.

However, as soon as Chi Ri raised his hand slightly, a huge Gyarados appeared from behind him and blocked the attack.

"Crush it!"

Gyarados opened its blood-red maw and bit down hard on the artificial cell egg, but this move was blocked by Yang Ming's Roaring Moon!

"We also use the crushing technique here!"

Yang Ming quickly retaliated, but before Roaring Moon could use Crunch, Red Sun's Gyarados completed its Mega Evolution. It not only easily blocked Roaring Moon's Crunch, but also used Ice Fang to counterattack Roaring Moon!

"Using Mega Evolution to change attributes in order to reduce the damage from Crunch? Unfortunately, that was expected."

No sooner said than done, as Cattleya threw out the black crystal bead, her artificial cell egg instantly completed its crystallization, and a huge fist-shaped stone statue grew on its head.

"Is it a Fighting-type Mega Crystallization?!" Akari's pupils shrank. The reason Yang Ming had Roaring Moon use Crunch to attack Gyarados was probably to force him to Mega Evolve ahead of time and change Gyarados's type.

Before Mega Evolution, Gyarados is a Water/Flying type, which makes it resistant to Fighting-type attacks. However, after Mega Evolution, Mega Gyarados becomes a Water/Dark type, which not only makes it unable to resist Fighting-type attacks but also puts it at a disadvantage!

"I really underestimated you."

Seeing the artificial cell egg's true energy blast coming again, Chi Ri no longer held back and released the Burning Winged Centipede to block the attack.

“It seems you have made considerable progress during this time,” Chi Ri’s eyes remained as calm as a deep pool, yet a hint of approval was faintly revealed. “However, I am determined to obtain the cornerstone of the new world.”

The flames of the Burning Winged Centipede surged across the arena, neutralizing the fighting-attribute energy blasts. The intense heat caused the air itself to distort slightly.

Gigantamax!

As the giant wristband erupted with a blinding light, the Burning Winged Centipede's body swelled to an enormous size, its terrifying energy surging like tangible magma. Lava-like red light burst from the cracks in its carapace, its limbs became even thicker and sharper, and most terrifying of all was its head—where a miniature blazing sun seemed to be gestating, the light and heat emanating from it causing the entire space to groan.

This is another trump card of the Crimson Sun – the Gigantamax Flaming Centipede!

Facing the opponents who had previously given them a tough fight, Yang Ming showed no signs of pressure this time.

"Gigantamax? What a pity, I'm not planning on fighting you anymore."

Chi Ri's expression changed drastically. Only then did he realize that the emerald green stone slab had unknowingly appeared in Yang Ming's hand.

"Damn it, he tricked me!"

While fighting Chi Ri, Yang Ming secretly sent Gengar to steal the stone slab when the enemy was not paying attention.

Now that he had seized the stone tablet, Yang Ming naturally didn't want to continue entangled with Red Sun. He decisively recalled his other Pokémon and jumped onto Roaring Moon's back with Gadria.

"Walk"

Chi Ri was naturally unwilling to let Yang Ming take the stone slab, so he decisively rode Crow Head to chase after him. However, Crow Head's speed was no match for Roaring Moon, and he was gradually left far behind.

“Here you go,” Yang Ming said, putting away the Emerald Stone Tablet and handing the Magic Stone Tablet to Cattleya. “You’re an expert in psychic abilities, so the Magic Stone Tablet, which symbolizes the psychic attribute, is definitely more suitable for you. I’ll play with the Grass-type Emerald Stone Tablet instead.”

"Are you really going to give me something this precious?" Cattleya asked, her face filled with disbelief.

“We agreed beforehand that we would split the stone slabs equally,” Yang Ming said calmly. “I value promises the most, so how could I possibly keep them all to myself?”

"You bastard..."

Claddy held the still-warm magical stone tablet, feeling the immense energy contained within it that subtly resonated with her superpowers. The joy of obtaining the treasure welled up within her heart.

She turned her head, looking at Yang Ming's sharply defined profile and his focused, forward-looking eyes. The wind howled past, ruffling his hair and stirring certain dormant thoughts within Gadria's heart. The frustration and resentment of fighting side by side last time had now transformed into the exhilaration of victory, and deeper still, there was an indescribable trust and... peace of mind.

“Hey,” she suddenly spoke, her voice not loud, but clear enough to cut through the wind, “Next time…would you like to come to my house in Hezhong…don’t overthink it, it’s just a get-together with friends, I’ll also invite Fenglu, Xiaoju’er, and Homiga…”

"A gathering of ordinary friends? That's not a problem..." Yang Ming was about to agree when a huge sense of crisis suddenly surged into his heart, and a huge black crack suddenly appeared in front of him!

"I'm sorry, but I won't feel at ease until I get rid of you, so before leaving this time and space, I've decided to eliminate this threat completely."

A gigantic Giratina emerged from the crack, along with the mysterious black shadow.

"Giratina, take him down!"

The shadowy figure spoke coldly, followed by a deep, earth-shaking roar from Giratina. Its massive body didn't charge directly, but instead transformed into an even deeper darkness, seemingly capable of swallowing light, merging into the spatial background like invisible ink. The next instant, this ultimate darkness exploded several meters in front of Roaring Moon!

Yang Ming's expression changed drastically. The opponent's attack came too suddenly. He couldn't even dodge or defend, let alone have Cattleya use teleportation to take him away.

In a moment of desperation, he shoved Cattleya off Roaring Moon's back.

"Yang Ming, you—"

"Since this is a calamity that belongs only to me, then I will bear it alone!" Yang Ming gritted his teeth, raising the emerald green stone slab and the charred tree branch in his hand. These were his last two trump cards.

Just then, the emerald green stone slab suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling light, and the next second, the charred tree branch was completely transformed, regaining its vitality.

With a melodious whistle, the tree branch transformed into a sacred giant stag, confronting Giratina.

Xerneas, the god of life from Carlos!
