The high-rise office area of the building was empty, but in the corridors, on individual floors, fully armed security guards with Houndoom and other canine Pokémon patrolled back and forth from time to time.
Even though Chen Kai and Miraidon were new arrivals, they could clearly feel the large number of security guards in this building.
Fortunately, it was already midnight, and the security guards were somewhat relaxed; Chen Kai even saw a security guard with a black and white Linoone slacking off in a corner.
Miraidon silently used its sharp claws to cut open the glass, and Chen Kai flipped inside, landing lightly.
The thick carpet absorbed most of the footsteps; he moved slowly along the wall, then suddenly reached out to cover the lone security guard's mouth, while his other hand tightly clamped the security guard's arm to prevent his escape.
At the same time, Iron Hands's Poké Ball rolled next to the Linoone.
Iron Hands instantly sprang from the ball, and its pincer-like hand swiftly used Fake Out, knocking out the Linoone with a loud 'thwack'.
Chen Kai felt his strength had increased again; he only used fifty percent of his power, yet the security guard's face turned red from his grip!
He even felt that with just a little more effort, he could directly crush the security guard's arm bones.
“Could it be that this security guard has osteoporosis?”
However, this was a time for 'bad deeds', so Chen Kai quickly cleared his mind and motioned for Miraidon to relay the message: “Where have your president and high-ranking officials gone?”
The security guard was on the verge of tears, complaining inwardly: “The executives are all over the world acquiring mega evolution stones and keystones, and they rarely return to the company in recent months.
The president comes at most once a week to check the Mega Evolution Stones; other times, he's not at the company.
This lord hasn't even figured out the situation and is causing trouble late at night?
Besides, how can I speak with you covering my mouth like this!”
Miraidon sensed the security guard's thoughts, conveyed them to Chen Kai, and then asked, “What should we do now?”
Chen Kai was a little embarrassed; Miraidon had indeed hit the nail on the head.
However, Chen Kai noticed the security guard mentioned that the president comes to check the mega evolution stones every week!
This meant that a large number of mega evolution stones were stored in the building.
Since he was already there, Chen Kai decided to demand some 'interest' from Nisus's executives, taking away the mega evolution stones in the building as compensation for being repeatedly ambushed.
Then, Chen Kai easily learned from the security guard that the mega evolution stones were all stored on the middle floor of the building—the 20th floor.
After Chen Kai had Exeggcute hypnotize the security guard and Linoone, he returned all the Pokémon to their Poké Balls.
He then used his invisibility cloak to quickly descend the stairs of the fire escape, cleverly avoiding several patrolling security guards.
However, upon reaching the 20th floor, the stairwell was blocked by an electronic door; the heavy metal door was equipped with a biometric lock requiring triple authentication: fingerprint, iris, and voice print.
Chen Kai scratched his head; he naturally couldn't perform a technical bypass like a spy or hacker, but he had another method—physical bypass!
He took two steps back, took out a Poké Ball from his waist, and said, “Iron Hands, please smash this door open.”
With a flash of red light, Iron Hands's massive metallic body cast a huge shadow in the corridor.
It raised its huge palm high and slammed a punch heavily onto the metal door—
“Boom—!!”
The entire building shook; the explosion-proof door in front of Chen Kai was directly blown away, crashing heavily against the interior wall.
A piercing alarm instantly blared throughout the entire building, and red warning lights flashed frantically.
Chen Kai passed through the smashed door and rushed into the room.
Upon entering the 20th floor, Chen Kai saw the entire floor filled with bulletproof display cases, each containing a glowing Mega ite.
He quickly scanned the room, estimating there were hundreds of them.
And on the central platform, nearly a hundred keystones were placed in specially designed energy stabilizers.
Without a word, Chen Kai swept all the keystones into the orange gem in his backpack.
Iron Hands, meanwhile, shattered a row of bulletproof cases with one slap, simultaneously handing the mega evolution stones inside to Chen Kai.
The man and the Pokémon thoroughly plundered the contents before the security guards could arrive.
By the time the security guards arrived, they could only see a strange Hariyama emitting an orange glow at the scene.
Under the deep red warning lights and the piercing alarm, Iron Hands's orange-red metallic body, illuminated by the emergency lights, resembled a burning meteorite, exuding a terrifying aura.
Six security guards were startled, and they unconsciously took half a step back.
But when they discovered that not a single mega evolution stone was left, they immediately panicked.
When the boss returned and found all the Mega ites gone, wouldn't he skin them alive?
“Don't be afraid! It's just one Pokémon; concentrate your firepower!” a man who looked like the security captain roared.
He was also cornered; he knew very well the nature of his company's executives, and he had to stop the Hariyama in front of him, or he wouldn't just be skinned alive!
The captain's Houndoom were the first to attack, dark purple Dark Pulses intertwining into a net, sweeping towards Iron Hands.
But at that moment, Iron Hands's electronic eyes suddenly flared with light, and orange light flowed freely over its metallic shell—
“Bang!”
A Fake Out was too fast for the naked eye to catch; the leading Houndoom hadn't even reacted when the massive steel palm, accompanied by a sonic boom, slammed heavily into its face.
The canine Pokémon's nasal bone emitted a crisp snapping sound, and its entire body spun like a top, crashing into a fire hydrant, the gushing water instantly turning the corridor into a water curtain cave.
Then Iron Hands swung its palms to both sides, sending the other two Houndoom flying as well.
“Zzzzzzzz—”
At this time, three Magnezone took the opportunity to surround it in a triangular formation, and the golden Electric Net produced by 'Discharge' spread along the water flow.
Iron Hands, however, did not dodge, its right fist suddenly glowing with a brown energy vortex.
“Boom!”
Drain Punch directly pierced through the current, its fist deeply embedded into the nearest Magnezone.
Accompanied by a teeth-grinding metallic twisting sound, the electricity generated by the discharge was completely absorbed.
The hollowed-out Magnezone fell, emitting black smoke, and the other two, attempting to counterattack, were quickly knocked away by Iron Hands, one by one.
“Switch to Flying-type Pokémon! Quickly!” the security captain yelled in terror.
Five Poké Balls burst open simultaneously, and a flying formation composed of Staraptor, Fearow, and Skarmory instantly filled the corridor.
“Brave Bird!”
“Air Slash!”
“Steel Wing!”
Just as the Flying-type Pokémon were about to hit, Iron Hands's electronic eyes flared again, and orange light surged wildly through the metal seams.
“Zzzzzzzz!”
The golden electricity of Wild Charge merged with the orange light; wherever Iron Hands passed, the floor shattered and buckled, as if a war chariot had rolled over several Flying-type Pokémon.
Staraptor's feathers instantly charred black, Fearow crashed through the fire glass like a broken kite, and Skarmory's metallic body, becoming an excellent conductor, twitched and fell from the electric shock.
“How is this possible?!” The security captain stumbled backward, “Aren't Flying-types supposed to counter Fighting-types? And how can Hariyama use Wild Charge?!”
They were a security team hired by Nisus at a high price; their Pokémon all had at least professional-level (over level 50) strength, and it was hard to imagine being wiped out by a single Pokémon, and they hadn't even managed to inflict a single scratch on their opponent!
As they stood in shock, Iron Hands once again used Close Combat.
The punch-wind of Close Combat vibrated the accumulated water in the corridor into a mist, instantly obscuring the security guards' vision.
Only three 'thump, thump, thump!' sounds were heard.
The few remaining Pokémon of the security team flew backward like broken sandbags, crashing through several walls consecutively.
When the water mist gradually dispersed, the corridor was a mess.
Iron Hands stood proudly, orange light slowly flowing over its metallic shell.
The security captain slumped against the wall, trembling as he looked at this 'monster' that resembled a mechanical demon god.
