Elf: Who told him to be an investigator!

Chapter 53 The Power Plant's Surprise

Ice Gem is a one-time use item that can significantly increase the power of Ice-type moves.

I bought it cheaply from Ditto back then.

As Glaceon's energy was activated, the Ice Gem that Zeju had tossed into the air gradually transformed into an energy state and entered Glaceon's body.

The icicle slabs were also gently floating and rotating.

Glaceon's eyes focused, locking onto the Salamence that was gradually shrinking into a small dot in its field of vision.

This was its all-out attack!

"Buee!!"

Like a laser beam piercing the sky, a slender beam of light radiating extreme cold suddenly appeared!

Even under the clear blue sky, this pure white beam of light was exceptionally conspicuous, hitting the high-speed flying Salamence in the distance with the precision of an anti-aircraft gun!

……

High above, the sharp wind constantly whistled in my ears.

Riding on the back of the Salamence, Hunter J frowned as she looked at the bruises on her arms, the result of blocking that person's punch earlier.

The thick protective gear on his arm had been shattered, but it was still no match for the man's strength.

This was her carefully selected, reliable protective gear! Without it, and if she hadn't made the decisive retreat, perhaps...

"Who is that person?! How come we've never heard of them before..." Hunter J suddenly snorted, "It must be Team Galactic who leaked the information! It's definitely someone from the League."

With that in mind, she instructed the Flying Dragon to concentrate and increase its speed, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.

Their movements had already been anticipated, and the operation could no longer proceed.

She should be grateful that she met the Alliance members before the operation had even fully begun.

As for the elite Pokémon hunters she brought with her?

In this line of work, it's common for people to abandon each other when disaster strikes. If she herself were to suffer, her so-called "subordinates" wouldn't risk their lives to rescue her.

Although it pains me to see the subordinates I've worked so hard to gather, Hunter J will definitely not go back to command or provide support.

All she could do was inform them to evacuate and, incidentally, fly her spaceship back.

Hunter J struggled to raise his arm, which was somewhat limp from the punch, activated the communication device on his wrist, and staggered as he began to compose a message, about to press the send button.

Suddenly, she felt a chilling sense of crisis and sensed the sudden unease in the Flying Dragon's heart. She turned around and saw a thin beam of icy light, constantly freezing the sparse water vapor in the high sky, coming at high speed.

"hide……"

"roar--!!"

Before she could even utter the command, the icy beam nearly pierced her vision, leaving her eyes almost completely white. At the same time, the raging roar of the Salamence filled her ears.

She wanted to pull out a prop to resist.

But the biting cold had not yet spread.

She had already lost consciousness.

Unconsciously, his body slumped, his fingers trembled, yet he naturally sent out the message he hadn't yet sent.

……

Watching the small dot belonging to the Salamence in the distance collide with the frozen beam and suddenly fall.

Ze Shu narrowed his eyes, calculating Hunter J's landing point: "It's quite far..."

beside.

Glaceon, slightly out of breath, cried out, "Eevee, Eevee!"

It requires both exerting all its strength and hitting the enemy accurately, which makes it very difficult.

Fortunately, it actually hit the target and did not disappoint Ze Shu!

"Buyi!"

"You did a great job... My Eevee is awesome!"

Bang——! !

Just as Ze Shu finished praising, a loud explosion suddenly came from the valley power plant not far behind him.

He looked back and saw that the area was in complete chaos.

From the moment he began fighting Hunter J, Ze Shu noticed a large number of people aggressively disembarking from the distant spaceship. Their objective was straightforward: to rush into the power plant and cause as much damage as possible.

That's because Zeki had previously 'guaranteed' them using the Galaxy Team's communication device that all the portals inside the power plant would be open to them, and all they had to do was destroy them.

So they acted very frantically and rushed very fast.

After all, the compensation is based on the amount of damage caused.

can.

Ze Shu had prepared many surprises inside, and all the alliance personnel he had mobilized during this period were also inside.

Then I saw...

A Pokémon hunter easily broke into the power plant, letting his Strider unleash air blades to destroy everything in its path. However, it accidentally hit a sensor, causing the plasma tank hanging high above it to plummet to the ground.

With a snap, plasma instantly spread, almost turning the ground beneath his feet into a plasma pool. The resulting stiffness and paralysis caused his body to twitch and make a series of bizarre movements.

"Ugh~ Ahh ...

The League personnel guarding the area quickly deployed their nets and arrested the Pokémon hunter without a fight.

Another doorway.

A Pokémon hunter made his way into the depths, and just one more door away from the core area, he was wreaking havoc.

But they found that the door in front of them could not be opened from this side.

He turned his head and saw five Alliance combatants lying in ambush beside him, watching him intently.

Some Pokémon hunters were pleasantly surprised to find a storage box that looked very valuable on the road. After a lot of effort to open it, they found that it only contained 100 League Coins, which was quite a slap in the face.

And a plasma trap bomb that explodes when the box is opened.

Sizzle~ Bang!

……

But only a few traps exist.

More often, Alliance combat personnel were already lying in wait at corners, above, in cluttered areas, behind boxes, and so on.

In an instant, battle erupted within the power plant. Some Pokémon hunters, caught off guard by the sneak attack, were immediately subdued and arrested, while others were forced to fall below and put up a fierce resistance...

Even so, these Pokémon hunters, caught off guard, gradually found themselves evenly matched with the League members.

Don't underestimate the Pokémon hunter's desperate resistance...

And the main battlefield—

"Lucario! Aura Missile!"

A man wearing a feathered hat and well-dressed clothes was also fighting. Lucario's Aura Sphere swept across, sending several Pokémon flying.

He is Ya Xuan, the master of Steel Island.

Flower Garden Town is relatively remote, and the Alliance cannot mobilize enough personnel to ensure its safety in a short period of time. Therefore, he came to help from Steel Island, which is separated by a sea.

Beside Yaxuan, the Queen Bee directed the swarm of bees, its buzzing constantly echoing. Its trainer was the Sinnoh Elite Four member, Aryu.

Amidst utter chaos.

More and more Pokémon hunters are realizing from various sources that something is wrong.

"What's going on?!"

"It's the League's dogs! Houndoom, Flamethrower...what...?"

"They've squeezed it out! What do we do?!"

"..."

"Our boss wants us to evacuate! Evacuate using her spaceship... I'm running first!"

"Why are you running so fast?!"

"Of course you guys should be the ones to cushion the fall... Why are you running so fast?!"

Despite their defeat and retreat, these Pokémon hunters displayed remarkable skill and a strong will to survive, with many managing to break through the League's encirclement.

Zeki could see many Pokémon hunters dressed in black fleeing to Hunter J's spaceship under the cover of their Pokémon.

A dense, dark mass, like ants climbing a tree.

The number of Pokémon hunters was much larger than Zeshu had expected; judging from the number he saw, there were probably dozens.

It's as if all the elite Pokémon hunters in Sinnoh have gathered here.

As more and more Pokémon hunters returned to the spaceship, Ze Shu frowned.

He glanced back at Hunter J, who had fallen somewhere in the distance, and after weighing his options, he sent Hunter J's approximate location information to the 'Investigator Terminal' and then headed towards the spaceship.

From a distance, they look like they've blended into the fleeing Pokémon hunters, or like ants swarming up a tree.
