Chapter 299: Pokémon Assemble!
With flashes of red light, Hippopotas, Hippowdon, Aggron, Excadrill, Galvantula, Chespin, Greninja, Delphox, Chesnaught, Flareon, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Umbreon, Lucario, Goodra, Tyrunt, Politoed, Poliwrath... all appeared outside.
Anjay said to everyone, "Everyone, Miare City is currently facing a huge crisis. I hope you can lend a hand."
"Koga ~"
"Psss ~"
"Melon ~"
"Awoo ~"
...
The Pokémon cheered in unison, then turned and scattered, beginning to counterattack the red plants appearing in Miare City.
As large swaths of red plants approached, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, and Umbreon leaped forward.
Vaporeon launched Water Gun, Jolteon launched Thunderbolt. Water Gun and electricity intertwined, instantly shattering countless red plants.
When red plants ambushed them from behind, Flareon and Umbreon moved. Flareon launched Flame Charge, and Umbreon used a powerful tackle, eliminating all the red plants that were ambushing them.
"Yarrow ~"
"Chi ~"
Altaria couple flew side by side with tacit understanding, spewing blue light from their mouths, sweeping across the area. All the red plants were instantly frozen.
"Chiru ~"
"Yarrow ~"
"Shwoo puff ~"
Swablu, Fletchinder, and Spritzee, these three little friends were weaker, so they formed a team.
Swablu fired a Moonblast, which hit a red plant, but failed to break it immediately.
Fletchinder persisted, opening its wings and using Steel Wing to slice past, instantly shattering the remaining half of the red plant.
At this moment, another red plant extended from somewhere, attacking Swablu and Fletchinder, scaring the two little guys.
Fortunately, Spritzee appeared in front of them in time, erecting a Light Screen in front, protecting Fletchinder and Swablu behind.
"Chiru ~"
"Yarrow ~"
Swablu and Fletchinder were overjoyed. After nodding to Spritzee, they soared into the sky at the same time. One launched Moonblast, and the other launched Flame Burst, instantly blasting the attacking red plant into nothing.
"Chiru ~"
"Yarrow ~"
"Shwoo puff ~"
Every time they defeated a red plant, the three little guys would excitedly dance in the air, and then continue to eliminate the next one.
Ollie and Ranie, the sisters, while eliminating red plants, happened to encounter two injured people, so they dragged the injured to a safe place and used Grassy Terrain on them.
Stonjourner, with two Rockruff, were fighting red plants not far away. The rock salt they sprinkled had a miraculous effect on the red plants.
Especially when Stonjourner launched Salt Cure, the red plants would immediately be covered with salt stone crystals, then unable to move, and eventually gradually wither.
When they saw Ollie and Ranie treating the injured, they immediately ran over to act as guards. If any red plant was harmful to the Ollie sisters, they would take action to defeat it.
In this way, the Ollie sisters rescued a large number of injured people along the way. When they came back to their senses, a large number of people had gathered around them.
The Capsakid family, after arriving in Miare City, simply became mobile flamethrowers. The family of five scurried around, frantically using Flamethrower to burn the red plants.
Behind them were Cramorant, two Cramorant who simply became their exclusive fire extinguishers.
Once the flames spread from the red plants to other places, Cramorant would immediately use Water Pulse to put out the fire.
Like Cramorant, the Politoed-led Poliwhirl team also took on the task of extinguishing fires.
Because a large number of buildings in the city collapsed, and electricity and electrical appliances were severely damaged, very serious fires occurred in many places.
Politoed led the Poliwhirl to specifically look for places where fires were happening. Once there, Politoed would first use Rain Dance to make heavy rain fall over the fire, and then the Poliwhirl would use Water Gun to put out the fire.
Their work efficiency was particularly high, solving a large number of fire hazards along the way and rescuing many citizens trapped in the fire.
Later, in the process of disaster relief, they accidentally encountered the Miare City fire brigade, so at the invitation of the fire brigade, they joined professional personnel in the disaster relief operation.
Goodra was moving with two Goomy and Tyrunt.
As they walked, they suddenly saw a mother and daughter trapped under a house that was about to collapse.
With almost no hesitation, Goodra rushed over and used its two thick and powerful tentacles to hold up the collapsing house.
Immediately afterwards, Tyrunt rushed out with an "Awoo" sound, using Head Smash to smash the house to pieces.
The scattered rubble was cleared away by the two Goomy constantly firing Dragon Pulse.
Fortunately, this house was not large, and most of it was made of wood, otherwise, even if Goodra and the others took action, the mother and daughter would not have escaped.
After being rescued, the mother and daughter thanked the Pokémon profusely.
When they learned that the mother and daughter were going to the shelter, Goodra took the initiative to escort them, so in the following journey, they rescued more people who were going to the shelter.
Solrock, Lunatone, Gardevoir, and Gallade were acting together.
In the process of eliminating red plants, they saw under a collapsed building that several trainers were rescuing the injured buried below.
It's just that the collapsed building was too heavy, so the rescue mission was very difficult.
Just as they were worried about a stone slab pressing on the injured, Gardevoir used Teleport to come to their side, and then used Psychic to lift the stone slab.
Seeing this scene, several trainers shouted in surprise, "It's Gardevoir, great, there's hope!"
The stone slab was very heavy. Because they were afraid of hurting the injured below, even Gardevoir with Psychic did not dare to be too reckless.
Soon Gardevoir's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"Come on, Gardevoir, almost there!" Several trainers cheered for Gardevoir from the side.
Fortunately, Lunatone, Solrock, and Gallade arrived in time. They worked together and finally rescued the injured with Gardevoir.
When they saw that the injured were safe, everyone present cheered excitedly.
In order to help the injured stabilize their injuries, Gardevoir and Gallade sprinkled Life Dew on them respectively.
After that, the four Pokémon and these trainers launched a rescue operation together.
Relying on the Psychic of the four Pokémon and the Life Dew of Gallade and Gardevoir, they rescued one injured person after another.
Florges, along with Diggersby, the Watchog brothers, Buneary, and Pachirisu, transformed into sheep knights, riding their Skiddo mounts and galloping through the city, continuously unleashing Energy Balls, Shadow Balls, Razor Leafs, and Discharge.
Because of their numbers, each time they released their skills, it created a large, multicolored spectacle. The red plants simply couldn't withstand their swift and fierce attacks.
Chandelure was also leading its family into action.
Swalot, Litleo, Pancham, Purugly, Scraggy, Stunky, Linoone, Helioptile, and Cinccino.
Under Chandelure's command, they systematically attacked the red plants without any sign of panic, wiping out large swathes of them.
However, their high-profile actions seemed to attract the attention of even more red plants, so they were quickly surrounded.
The moment the red plants attacked, Swalot immediately jumped forward to defend.
Relying on its flexible body, it deflected one red plant after another, which were then tainted by its poison and quickly withered.
But its defense had its limits. There were too many attacking red plants, and Swalot was soon sent flying.
At this moment, Chandelure, Linoone, Helioptile, Purugly, and Scraggy, being the stronger ones, were entangled by other red plants, exposing Litleo, Pancham, Stunky, and Cinccino to the red plants' attacks.
Litleo, brave and fearless, immediately opened its mouth and spewed flames, engulfing the red plants.
Stunky also refused to be outdone, revealing its sharp claws and pouncing on the red plants.
However, after destroying just two red plants, they were both sent flying by the others.
Without their protection, Pancham and Cinccino, who were launching Dark Pulses and Seed Bombs, were ensnared by the red plants.
As the red plants tightened their grip, Pancham and Cinccino emitted painful groans.
Seeing this, Litleo and Stunky's eyes turned bloodshot with rage.
"Litleo!!!"
"Stunky!!!"
The suffering of their companions ignited their potential. Bright blue-white light suddenly erupted from Litleo and Stunky.
It was the light of evolution!
Within the light, the two Pokémon's forms were rapidly changing, their bodies growing larger and larger.
When the light dissipated, two brand-new Pokémon appeared before everyone.
Litleo had evolved into Pyroar, the Royal Pokémon, its red and yellow mane exuding dominance.
Stunky had evolved into Skuntank, the Skunk Pokémon, its massive body resembling a tank, giving off a sense of security.
"Awooo ~"
Pyroar roared, spewing a pillar of fire that instantly incinerated the red plants entangling Pancham, and then leaped to catch the falling Pancham.
At the same time, Skuntank leaped into the air, revealing its sharp claws and using Night Slash, quickly slicing the red plants entangling Cinccino into pieces.
"Cham-cham ~ Cham-cham ~"
"Cino ~ Cino ~"
Seeing that Litleo and Stunky had evolved, Pancham and Cinccino happily jumped and bounced on Pyroar and Skuntank's backs.
Chandelure and the others breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Pancham and Cinccino were safe.
However, their crisis wasn't over. The red plants surrounding them seemed particularly numerous, keeping them on their toes.
Just as they were in dire straits, the sky above them suddenly turned dark.
They looked up to see Honchkrow leading a flock of Murkrow.
"Caw caw ~ ~"
"Yami ~ Yami ~"
Honchkrow, always haughty, glanced disdainfully at Pancham and the others below, then led the Murkrow in simultaneously launching Dark Pulses, like mobile artillery.
With the help of Honchkrow and the Murkrow, the red plants in the area were quickly wiped out.
After helping Pancham and the others, Honchkrow and the Murkrow flew away without saying a word.
"Cham-cham ~ Cham-cham ~" Pancham waved vigorously at Honchkrow and the others to thank them, but they were flying too fast, and it was unclear if they even saw it.
Honchkrow and the Murkrow flew, eliminating red plants as they went. As they passed through one area, they even saw a group of wild Murkrow being attacked by red plants.
Honchkrow looked surprised, then led the Murkrow to fly over, quickly eliminating the red plants and rescuing the wild Murkrow.
The wild Murkrow, seeing the powerful and handsome Honchkrow, looked up in admiration, chirping and fluttering around Honchkrow, constantly showering it with praise.
Honchkrow was thoroughly pleased by their flattery, so it waved its wings and said, "Caw caw ~ Caw caw ~" From now on, you can follow me!
"Yami ~ Yami ~"
"Yami ~ Yami ~"
… …
Hearing this, the wild Murkrow were overjoyed and immediately flapped their wings to join Honchkrow's team.
However, there was a clear difference between these wild Murkrow and Honchkrow's original subordinates, whether in size or the luster of their feathers.
Honchkrow's original subordinates were strong and robust, their feathers were glossy, and their eyes glowed red with vitality!
In contrast, the wild Murkrow were thin and small, their feathers were dry and dull, and it was clear that they were malnourished.
With the team now larger, Honchkrow was very happy, so it led its subordinates and flew away again.
Aggron, Excadrill, Hippopotas, and Hippowdon were moving together.
Each time a red plant attacked, Espathra would use its psychic powers to immobilize it, and then Aggron, Excadrill, Hippopotas, and Hippowdon would launch a joint attack.
Because of their good coordination, their efficiency was very high, and many people and Pokémon were rescued by them.
Diantha and Gardevoir were also actively rescuing citizens, but there were too many red plants and too many people in need of rescue. Even as Champion, she was overwhelmed.
The disaster came too suddenly, and the entire city was paralyzed, with rescue workers unable to take immediate action.
In the process of fighting the red plants, a red plant suddenly emerged from nowhere and stabbed directly at Diantha's back.
Diantha was busy dealing with the plants in front and didn't notice the sudden danger at all. Gardevoir noticed it, but it was tied down and couldn't free itself.
Just then, a figure timely blocked Diantha's path and fired a rainbow-colored beam, destroying the attacking red plant.
Only then did Diantha realize that she had just experienced a crisis. She gratefully looked at Espathra and said, "Thank you, I'm glad you came in time."
Espathra has a pair of extremely fast long legs, which is why it was able to save Diantha in time.
