Trainers returning from the Kingdom of Roc

Chapter 82: The Wrath of the Sea God

"That guy's coming up!"

On the cliff, Hou Zhi and his allied agents were struggling to keep their balance amidst the storm.

Upon receiving the contact from the agents on Black Cloud Island, Hou Zhi and Bai Linfei immediately rushed over. They had imagined what kind of disaster might occur on Black Cloud Island, but they did not expect that the situation here would be even worse than they had imagined.

From the high cliffs near the sea, they could see the whole view more clearly.

The entire ocean seemed so alien at that moment, as if it had come alive and stood in opposition to them, poised to swallow the island whole.

The pitch-black sea twisted and turned, instantly swirling and forming several terrifying whirlpools on its surface.

"That's...that's an ocean whirlpool!?"

"My God, I've never seen such a huge whirlpool in my life."

"This, this is..."

"The power of the sea god!?"

There wasn't much time for everyone to be shocked.

Above the whirlpool, a huge black figure burst out of the water and let out an angry roar!

Along with the roar came an even more terrifying storm!

The people on the cliff quickly grabbed onto anything they could, trying to keep themselves from being blown away by the terrifying storm, because if they were thrown off, they might not survive.

"That's Lugia, the legendary Pokémon known as the sea god, capable of manipulating ocean currents!" Hou Zhi stared wide-eyed, his gaze fixed on that figure even as the storm raged around him.

As a Water-type Pokémon Trainer and a Water-type Gym Leader, Hou Zhi naturally has some knowledge of Lugia, which is known as the "Sea God".

Although it is called the sea god, Lugia is actually not a Water-type Pokémon; it is a Psychic/Flying-type Pokémon.

But what surprised Hou Zhi the most was that the Lugia in front of him was not white as he had imagined, but rather pitch black, and its ferocious appearance did not seem gentle at all.

"What, what's going on?!"

Just as Hou Zhi was pondering, Lugia above the vortex had already made her move!

Suddenly, it flapped its wings, which resembled giant hands, and instantly, two terrifying air blades shot straight towards the waves in front of it!

Two deep trenches were cleaved into the sea surface, and from within the trenches, a Gyarados burst through the water and soared into the sky. Above the Gyarados's head, Bai Linfei's face was solemn.

"Luggia, what's wrong with you!?"

But her voice received no response from Lugia; instead, two more air blades struck again.

Bai Linfei didn't dare to take the attack head-on, so she quickly had Gyarados dodge, and at the same time, she threw out two more Poké Balls. "Milareya! [Aqua Ring]! Hippowdon! [Psychic]!"

With a flash of white light, Minas and the Hippo King fell into the sea.

Faced with the terrifying Dark Lugia, they showed no fear, but instead reacted directly to Bai Linfei's orders.

A pale blue ring of water suddenly rippled outwards, separating the two sides. At the same time, King Hippo stretched out his hands, his eyes flashing with blue light, and his terrifying mental power pressed down on Lugia.

But a savage glint flashed in Lugia's crimson eyes, as if to retort, "You actually want to use your superpowers to attack a god of superpowers?!"

"not good!"

Hou Zhi watched this scene from afar, his face turning grim. If things continued like this, it wouldn't work, and even the White King might be in danger.

"We must go and support the White King as soon as possible!"

"You can't go anywhere..."

Just then, a sinister laugh came from not far away.

But then they saw three men in black robes standing in the storm, their robes flapping loudly in the wind.

"You are...the people who have come to the Church!?" Hou Zhi frowned, clenching his fists. "Why are you doing this!?"

"A ridiculous question," Ross scoffed. "Can't you see? This is true power, the power that this world lacks. We're only here to bring the Sea God back to this world!"

"Are you all insane! Look closely, how could that black monster possibly be the real sea god! If we let it continue its rampage, the entire Black Cloud Island will sink!!" Hou Zhi shouted sternly.

"Although we don't know why Lugia has become like this, a sea god is a sea god. After you die, we will tame Lugia and restore him to his original form. As for Black Cloud Island, it's just an island..."

"You bastards! Swampert! Use [Muddy Current]!"

"Haha, you've come at the right time!"

"We, too, use the [Turbid Stream] to become the Toad King!"

Two fierce streams of mud collided in mid-air, bursting apart and rapidly disappearing into the torrential rain.

Seeing this, the other agents also immediately threw out Poké Balls.

"Take care of them, and get to the White King's aid as soon as possible!"

"I already told you, you're not going anywhere today!" Ross grinned menacingly, and then Mr. Chen and Fina behind him joined the fight.

Dozens of Pokémon descended upon the storm-swept cliffs, unleashing a barrage of terrifying skills, each a deadly attack aimed directly at the opposing trainer!

In open-field combat, especially against an enemy like the Church of the Descent, they naturally wouldn't hold back at all, let alone follow any rules.

"Scizor, use [Combo Attack] on that man in black!"

"That's a good idea!" Mr. Chen suddenly took two steps back. "Venusaur, use Power Whip followed by Seed Bomb!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The entire cliff began to shake, and large chunks of rock kept falling.

The three men in black robes jumped up and took to the air using their respective mounts: a Zubat, a Salamence, and a Crowhead. Hou Zhi also used the power of a Pelipper to reach high altitudes, while the other agents rode on Pidgeots.

The battlefield instantly stretched into the sky.

But soon, they realized something was wrong.

Under the influence of Dark Lugia's terrifying mental power, the sky had become an extremely dangerous area. The mental power drove the gale, forcing everyone back and bombarding them continuously, causing the combatants to be swept away like kites with broken strings.

On the battlefield against Lugia, Bai Linfei gritted her teeth and persevered, while the same blue light flashed in her eyes.

"Luggia, please calm down!"

"If this continues, Black Cloud Island will truly be doomed!"

Just as she was in a stalemate, suddenly, a dazzling light came from below.

The light was indescribable, but it stood out starkly against the backdrop of the dim, apocalyptic scene.

Amidst the dazzling, rainbow-like light, a winged steed is riding through the air!
