Chapter 180: #180 - The Broken Mask, the Unexpected Ending of War [Please subscribe, please vote]

“Doctor Su Sheng will win, Doctor Su Sheng will definitely win…”

In an ordinary house in Hiun City, Unova, Mei, with her twin ponytails and holding a first-generation Pokémon encyclopedia, chanted:

“Dark Lugia’s stamina is already at its limit. It was only able to block Zacian’s Sacred Sword just now by holding on. It’s impossible for it to have any more energy to fight. Doctor Su Sheng will win…”

Mei's thoughts were shared by many trainers around the world.

Originally, Dark Lugia was barely recovering some stamina with Joker’s magical power, and its strength was far inferior to its full-strength state when Dead Kong released it at the beginning of the war.

It was suppressed by Zamazenta from the start.

Remember the original website domain 𝕥𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞

However, it had just taken two consecutive Sacred Swords from Zacian, one of which was in its Sword King form.

The reason it has been able to hold on until now is entirely due to Joker's command as a top trainer.

“Huff…”

Sure enough, the next second, the whole world saw Dark Lugia taking a shallow breath in the sky above the Indigo Plateau.

Although trying its best to hide it, the huge body, which was like an evil aggregate, was obviously trembling under the close-up lens!

At this moment, the same thought emerged in the minds of people all over the world—it’s reaching its limit!

Dark Lugia is probably barely able to fly now.

“Doctor Su Sheng, Dark Lugia is almost unable to hold on. Take advantage of this opportunity to take him and Joker together…”

Caitlin, who was at the scene, couldn’t help but shout.

“That’s right, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”

Lorelei, as the absolute hawk派 in the League, second only to Lance, also shouted immediately after.

“Surround Team Rocket, don’t worry about Shadow for now! We must not let Team Rocket escape!”

Drayden also made a decisive decision, giving up on Shadow and concentrating all his forces on Team Rocket.

However, under the expectant gaze of everyone, “Su Sheng” hesitated and did not launch an attack for a long time.

“What’s wrong, Su Sheng?”

Trace asked in confusion, “This is a great opportunity!”

Red, Blue, and even Ash, who was a little slow-witted, frowned beside him.

Why isn’t he attacking yet?

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

“Su Sheng” himself also had a drop of sweat on his face.

Damn it, he can’t really force his master into a dead end, can he?

Joker also frowned slightly, thinking to himself, “I took a risky move.”

Calling Zacian over aroused Dark Lugia’s sense of crisis.

Let him know that if he wants to unleash his full potential, he must team up with a top trainer.

And now, Joker can stand on top of Dark Lugia’s head.

This shows that the plan was very successful.

Originally, the initial plan didn’t include Zamazenta.

In this way, after Joker obtains Dark Lugia, he can completely leave with Giovanni and Team Rocket swaggeringly.

As for Dark Lugia, he can let it faint first, and then slowly find a way to tame it.

Zamazenta’s intervention forced Joker to change his plan midway.

He released Dark Lugia in advance and carried out the taming plan against the Dark God in advance.

This temporary plan was also very successful. It can be said that it tamed Dark Lugia in the simplest and most effective way.

But another problem arose—how to escape?

At this time, Joker noticed the complex look in “Su Sheng’s” eyes, and a familiar telepathic voice sounded in his mind:

[Master, how about… I go easy on them?]

Go easy? Letting the sea go would not be enough!

Joker glanced at the Sword and Shield Kings standing on either side of “Su Sheng”.

He also looked down at Dark Lugia, who was already panting. If it were in the game, it would only have 1 HP left.

If you still can’t win in this situation… Damn it, even Monty D. Kizaru would have to kneel down and shout, “You are my idol when it comes to letting the sea go”.

[Why aren’t you acting yet? Then I will personally end this vessel of evil!]

Just then, Zacian’s mature female voice sounded in “Su Sheng’s” mind.

She jumped up, and the King’s Sword between her fangs shone with blue light. The sword energy tore through the air, sweeping across with the powerful force that could cut off everything in the world.

Behemoth Blade!

“Su Sheng’s” face changed drastically.

Joker also raised his eyebrows slightly.

The “risky move” he said in his heart just now actually referred to Zacian.

When treating Bewear just now, the Zoroark disguised as himself had already told Zamazenta the plan through telepathy.

So Zamazenta knew the script.

Otherwise, do you think Dark Lugia could have held on for so long without listening to Joker’s orders?

That was entirely because the Shield King was holding back.

But Zacian is different!

She didn’t have time to listen to Zoroark’s explanation of the plan from the time she joined the battle until now.

And even if she did, it’s hard to say whether Zacian would be willing to cooperate!

After all, Zacian’s personality is a milder version of Sakazuki. Although she would never do something like firing on civilians, do you want her to cooperate with you in taming a Pokémon like Dark Lugia, a “vessel of evil,” and even act with you?

Dream on!

“Protect!”

Joker whispered.

A huge, jet-black, translucent circular shield condensed on Dark Lugia’s body.

On the opposite side, Zacian slashed down without hesitation, and the light between heaven and earth was restrained.

The sword energy that made Hawkeye ashamed, made Shanks marvel, and made the heroic Kozuki Oden commit suicide, completely covered the dark shield.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

The tearing sound of the blade cutting through the target echoed continuously.

The high mountains around the Indigo Plateau were torn open with huge openings one after another, like poultry on a cutting board.

And this was still under the premise that the dark shield withstood most of the attack.

“Is this the attack power of the top tier of legendary Pokémon?!”

Erika shouted with lingering fear.

Su Sheng had chatted with them in his spare time, saying that legendary Pokémon also have strengths and weaknesses.

Pokémon like Ho-Oh, which are support types, can only be ranked in the middle and lower tiers in terms of combat power.

And most of the ones standing at the top are Dragon-types.

However, there is an exception among them.

That is Zacian, the Sword King!

At that time, Su Sheng said that even among the top legendaries, there are no more than three who can steadily win against the Sword King in a one-on-one fight.

Seeing it with my own eyes today, it is indeed true!

Crack!

A burst sounded.

Everyone vaguely saw that, in the gaps of the hurricane, one end of the dark shield cracked.

In the next instant, the right side of the shield was directly broken open.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Immediately afterwards, the left side was also completely shattered.

The sacred sword light on the surface of the King’s Sword had gradually dissipated, returning from a 40-meter-long broadsword to its normal state.

But even so, it still retained a destructive power that should not be underestimated!

The next second, this sword struck Dark Lugia’s throat.

Dark Lugia’s already extremely weak face was even more bulging at this moment.

Then, like a crashing helicopter, it fell vertically towards the ground.

“Dark Lugia can no longer fight!”

Alder waved his hand excitedly and shouted.

Others also cheered for Dark Lugia’s second loss of combat ability.

But many people also looked at “Su Sheng” with curiosity and confusion.

Because at this moment, “Su Sheng” looked at Joker, who was falling to the ground along with Dark Lugia, with a very flustered expression, even with deep concern.

“Why… would Sheng reveal such an expression?”

Caitlin, Cynthia, Lorelei in front of the TV, Serena, and others at the scene all had the same thought in their minds.

Thump—

Dark Lugia landed first.

The earth briefly emitted a magnitude ten earthquake.

And a Latias jumped out of the Poké Ball at the last moment, catching Joker at the critical moment.

Da!

But even so, some sharp-eyed trainers noticed.

Something fell from Joker’s body.

Looking closely.

The world’s expression changed drastically.

That was… half of Joker’s mask!?

The next second, everyone at the scene looked in disbelief at the figure with their back to everyone.

The atmosphere was very similar to the scene where Masked Man’s mask was smashed by Naruto in the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Finally, the figure with their back to everyone finally slowly turned around.

The right half of the mask had been smashed, revealing the complete right side of the face.

It’s just that there was scarlet blood lying in the corner of the eye.

It must have been scratched by Zacian’s sword energy just now.

But it doesn’t prevent his true face from being displayed in front of the world.

“Sheng…”

Lorelei, who was far away at the Magnolia Research Institute, stared with copper bell-like eyes, saying these two words intermittently, which shows the fierce struggle in her heart.

And Lorelei’s mood is also the mood of the world.

And at the scene, everyone’s eyes also swept back and forth between Joker, who was wearing half a mask on the left, and “Su Sheng”, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses on the right.

Wallace: “Wh, what’s going on? Th, they look exactly the same!?”

Cynthia: “Wh, what exactly is…”

Drayden: “You… exactly…”

And not only humans, but the landed Zacian was also confused.

Looking at Joker, and then looking back at “Su Sheng”.

No, no, wh, what’s going on?

……

“Huff…”

Joker sighed softly.

Was he still exposed?

There’s no way…

Looking at the “himself” on the opposite side.

“Su Sheng” saw this and prepared to release the transformation.

There’s no need to pretend.

And Erika and Kazuya also secretly put their hands on the remaining Poké Balls on their belts.

Since everyone knows, then we don’t need to act in this play anymore.

Just when Joker was preparing to collectively show his cards.

Clap~ clap~ clap~

A burst of applause came.

Everyone turned their heads to look.

It was actually the leader of Team Rocket?

Giovanni, whose face was completely covered by the lowered jazz hat and the raised high collar, walked slowly between Joker and “Su Sheng”, and smiled:

“Wonderful, really wonderful.”

“Brothers with the same bloodline, but now they have reached the point of fighting each other, although I expected this day to come, I didn’t expect it to be under such a big scene.”

Brothers!?

Hearing these two words.

The world was in an uproar.

Wallace: “Ac, actually brothers? No wonder they look exactly the same…”

Caitlin: “Doctor Su Sheng actually has brothers, what a surprise…”

Lorelei: “I’ve never heard Sheng mention it.”

Drayden: “No! Since Sheng has brothers, then why would he…”

“Why join Team Rocket, right?”

Giovanni interrupted Drayden’s words with a smile.

“Good question, speaking of this, I have to thank your League.”

As soon as these words came out, Drayden’s face changed again, “What do you mean!?”

“Su Sheng and Joker, two teenagers with a sense of justice, one practicing medicine during the day to help the Pokémon of trainers with limited economic means, and the other acting as a chivalrous thief to crack down on criminals at night, both fulfilling the justice in their hearts in their own ways, it was originally like this…”

Speaking of this, Giovanni changed the subject and laughed strangely:

“However, because of one thing, Joker changed his mind.”

As soon as these words came out, many elite trainers of the League at the scene fell into deep thought.

Janine, who had dealt with Joker several times, guessed:

“Could it be… the Olivine Gym attack incident?”

“Congratulations, you got it right!”

Giovanni, like the host of a guessing game show, gave Janine a big thumbs up, his smile even stronger:

“At that time, Joker discovered that the Olivine Gym Leader, Eltes, was acting strangely, and even went to investigate with his two companions, Erika and Fatty.”

“Facts prove that they were right, weren’t they?”

Speaking, Giovanni pointed to Eltes, who was being handcuffed by Cynthia.

“However, justice delayed is not justice, after that incident, how did the League treat Joker, I think everyone should still remember as long as they haven’t lost their memory, right?”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the Indigo Plateau, the whole world fell into a dead silence.

During that time, Joker was really like Konoha White Fang in the Pokémon world, and he was almost scolded as a street rat.

“Is it because of this that Joker joined Team Rocket?”

Drayden asked in a trembling voice.

“So I want to thank your League.”

Giovanni laughed loudly:

“Who would have thought that our Team Rocket’s King was actually sent to us by the League?”

After speaking, Giovanni turned his head to look at “Su Sheng” and asked with a smile:

“Okay, Doctor Su Sheng, what are you going to do? Are you going to send your brother to prison? Or… are you going to kill your brother?”

As soon as these words came out, Caitlin suddenly realized, “So that’s why the doctor hesitated just now whether to attack Joker!”

Thousands of viewers in front of the TV also showed a sudden realization.

Trace looked respectful, “So that’s it, if I were to fight with Blue, I would also hesitate.”

Blue curled his lips, “You kid, stop flattering yourself, you will be killed by me in seconds if you fight me.”

Speaking, Blue also sighed.

He can also understand.

How painful it is to stand on the opposite side of your brother.

Red still didn’t speak, just clenched his fists secretly, with a look of unbearable heart in his eyes.

At this moment, Zoroark also recovered.

Damn, I didn't expect this old human to have such a trick up his sleeve, coming up with such an amazing idea in such a short time.

Even the yellow-furred mouse at Sonia's feet had its eyes shining.

This twist, I've never seen anything like it!

Finally, "Su Sheng" waved his hand, signaling the Sword and Shield Kings to step back.

He had an air of "If anyone hasn't caused enough trouble, we'll be your opponents."

And Zacian's eyes were inexplicably cold.

She could already smell it with her dog nose.

The "Su Sheng" in front of her wasn't the same one she'd met in Slumbering Weald last time.

Although she didn't know what these guys were up to.

But Zacian was sure they were putting on a show for her!

【Sister, let's talk about things later, okay?】

Zamazenta kept trying to smooth things over beside Zacian.

……

Joker took out a Great Ball, recalled the Dark Lugia who had fainted on the ground, and walked to Sakaki's side, even exchanging a glance with "Su Sheng".

Under the world's attention, this look was interpreted as "brotherly betrayal".

Asaka Town, Hiun City...

Serena, Mei, Touko, and other future protagonists who had received their Pokédexes from Su Sheng were looking at the forced smile on "Su Sheng's" face.

They just wanted to rush to his side and tell him, "It's okay to cry."

Even at this time, the professor was still pretending to be strong; the burden on his shoulders was too heavy.

Spikemuth, Galar.

The five-year-old punk loli pursed her pink lips, imagining the scene of breaking up with her brother, which scared her so much that she quickly dismissed the thought.

However, compared to the rest of the world, who were more sympathetic to Su Sheng, she had a better impression of Joker.

On the one hand, under the influence of her rock-and-roll-singing brother, she liked the style of doing things in a bad way, as can be seen from her love of using Dark-type Pokémon.

And Joker's growth trajectory of becoming a dragon slayer turned into a dragon was perfect for her fantasy.

"Marnie, your brother is going to Kanto. Be a good girl and stay at home, okay?"

At this moment, Piers' phone call came.

Rose had originally told them that they could go back.

But seeing Team Rocket intervening in the battle, Leon said that his group couldn't just leave like this, so they decided to turn around again and head to Kanto to reinforce.

"Brother, can I join Team Rocket and try it out in the future?"

The punk loli asked, holding the microphone.

"Huh!?"

Piers on the plane jumped three feet high in fright.

……

……

Lorelei, whose efforts to combat crime were second only to Lance, didn't say anything at this moment either.

Lorelei knew that this was the best opportunity to take down the dangerous duo of Joker and Dark Lugia.

Once missed, there was a high possibility... no! It was absolutely impossible to have another chance!

But seeing the forced smile on "Su Sheng's" face, Lorelei couldn't bear it.

Because your brother was saved, so you're so happy, right?

You... you're such a kind person.

"Wait a minute,"

Just then, Sakaki spoke again.

Everyone looked at the Team Rocket boss again.

He pointed to "Su Sheng" and said:

"I would also like to ask Dr. Su Sheng to come with me to protect us as we leave."

Sakaki said with a smile:

"Of course, you have to leave all your Pokémon on the mountain, which naturally includes that bear and those two dogs."

"Impossible!"

At this time, even Steven Stone, who wasn't very familiar with Su Sheng, couldn't help but shout.

Let Su Sheng escort you down the mountain alone?

Do you think you'll let him come back?

Do you take our League for fools?

"There's no other way. After all, Dark Lugia is unable to fight anymore; we have to keep something in reserve."

Damanaki said to "Su Sheng":

"A Sheng, don't listen to them; don't go!"

Without Su Sheng, who could stop the League if it encountered such a crisis again in the future!?

What worried Damanaki even more was that he was afraid that the Team Rocket boss would play the emotional card and want to poach Su Sheng after Joker.

Then the League would be doomed!

"Don't you want to take this opportunity to say a few words to your brother?"

Sakaki added.

As soon as he said this, "Su Sheng's" expression changed slightly, and then he walked forward.

Itsuki: "No!! A Sheng!!!"

Koga: "Are you crazy!!??"

Joker:……

Their acting is getting better and better.

Hehe, sorry, I borrowed a reader's comment. A new time period will begin after this great battle.

The ending will be marked by the protagonist's loss of virginity. I wonder if everyone can guess who it is.
