Nuzleaf wanted to flee, but Aron, who had the upper hand, wouldn't allow it.
Greed is the nature of a Pokémon Hunter.
He wanted the rainbow aura mushroom! He also wanted the Nuzleaf Flute Chorus that his employer requested!
"Tyranitar, use Hyper Beam to stop those guys who are trying to run."
Kebi curled his lip in disgust; he was too greedy, wasn't he afraid that Shiftry would fight him to the death?
Just as Kebi had thought, Aron's greed infuriated Shiftry.
A series of Razor Leaf attacks were launched from Shiftry's hands, heading straight for Aron.
Aron rolled on the ground in a sorry state, but his arm was still cut by the sharp leaves.
He shouted angrily, "Tyranitar, use Hyper Beam to attack those Seedot! Let's see if he watches them die or personally helps the Seedot block it."
Aron's move was truly vicious, but it was effective.
The elusive Shiftry indeed appeared in front of the Seedot, condensing a vibrant green Energy Ball in his hands to directly counter Tyranitar's Hyper Beam.
He waved his hand, conjuring a strong wind, even helping the Seedot withstand the aftershock of the explosion.
Seeing this, the Nuzleaf designated as the heir had no choice but to painfully issue the command for his tribe members to retreat immediately.
He led a few elite Nuzleaf to cover the main group as they carried the heavily injured and unconscious tribe members away.
After taking a few more Hyper Beam attacks from Tyranitar head-on, Shiftry began to pant heavily.
But Shiftry also seized the opportunity, leaving several deep wounds on Tyranitar's chest and thighs with Leaf Blade.
Nuzleaf directed Razor Leaf and Seed Machine Gun at Tyranitar's wounds.
"Kana!"
The main group had already gone far, and Nuzleaf told Shiftry to leave with them.
But Shiftry knew very well that his body was like a candle in the wind, and even if he escaped, he wouldn't live much longer.
It would be better to burn his remaining life to kill this human and ensure the safety of his tribe.
If Aron wasn't killed now, he would come again next time.
Having lost him, and without the rainbow aura mushroom, how would his tribe resist this terrifying Tyranitar?
Shiftry raised his hands, releasing a dazzling white ball of light.
It exploded in the sky, and for a moment, it felt as if the sky was clear.
And Shiftry's body also began to glow with a layer of green light.
His Chlorophyll ability actually gave off a feeling similar to Overgrow.
Everyone present knew that Shiftry was going all out.
"Kuu!"
Nuzleaf turned away with tears, knowing that Shiftry was using his life to illuminate the future of his tribe.
He could not betray Shiftry's trust; he would diligently take on the responsibility of the chieftain and lead everyone to live in peace and prosperity.
The life-burning Shiftry appeared unstoppable.
Aron was so scared that he only dared to hide behind Tyranitar.
"Fearow, hurry over and protect me!"
Compared to the rainbow aura mushroom, his life was more important.
Fearow, in order to protect the rainbow aura mushroom, was not only covered in wounds but also completely exhausted.
Now, even vibrating his wings felt like his two wings were carrying two lead balls.
He really couldn't fly anymore.
But his master had given an order, and he had to brace himself and go.
With Tyranitar in front and Fearow behind, Aron finally felt a bit of relief.
He focused all his attention, pinpointed Shiftry's location, and fired a capture net to interrupt Shiftry's attack.
For a time, Shiftry couldn't break through the protection of the two Pokémon.
His life was about to burn out, and he could only place his hope in one final attack.
Shiftry leaped onto a treetop, using his fan-shaped leaf hands to absorb as much sunlight as possible into his body.
He would use his last, most scorching Solar Beam to take this human with him to his death.
Kebi, hiding in the shadows, knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.
He activated Confusion, silently taking two Poké Balls from Aron's belt, and they quickly flew back into his hand.
Looking at Shiftry, who was enveloped in white light, Aron felt fear.
"Damn it, Tyranitar, Fearow, use Hyper Beam together! You must block Solar Beam for me!"
Just then, two red lights shot out from the bushes, accurately hitting Tyranitar and Fearow's bodies, recalling them into their Poké Balls.
Looking at the vanished Tyranitar and Fearow, Aron frantically reached for his belt, but it was empty.
And the scorching Solar Beam had already struck.
In Aron's eyes, only dazzling white light remained.
Extreme heat enveloped Aron's body.
After a violent explosion, a large pit appeared in the original spot, containing only a charred remains.
And Shiftry also weakly fell from the treetop, slowly closing his eyes.
Kebi locked Tyranitar and Fearow's Poké Balls.
He emerged from the bushes, walked around the large pit, and approached the rainbow aura mushroom.
【System, check in.】
【Checked in at rainbow aura mushroom, received rewards: Heaven and Earth Essence Usage Guide, 1 Miracle Seed, 1 Leaf Stone, 1 Jade Box.】
The Heaven and Earth Essence Usage Guide introduced many methods for picking and preserving natural treasures, as well as medicinal recipes for use with them.
To preserve the rainbow aura mushroom, a jade box was precisely what was needed.
Following the method in the Heaven and Earth Essence Usage Guide, he picked the rainbow aura mushroom and put it into the jade box for preservation.
Kebi left at the fastest possible speed.
Just as he was about to leave, he noticed an unconscious Seedot lying in the corner.
【Seedot】
【lv70 lv8】
【Ability: Chlorophyll】
【Potential: Blue (90/100)】
He took out a Poké Ball and caught the Seedot.
Today was truly a great harvest.
This Seedot's talent was even better than the heir chosen by Shiftry, but he was too young; if Aron hadn't come, and if Seedot had two more years to grow.
He might have been the heir.
Now that he was caught by Kebi, his future might be even brighter.
Shiftry is an excellent Pokémon, once revered as a Forest God in ancient times, possessing the ability to read an enemy's thoughts and act in advance.
The check-in just now also gave Kebi a Leaf Stone, indicating that it was fate for him to catch and train this Seedot.
As for the problem of lacking training funds after catching Treecko and simultaneously training two Grass-type Pokémon.
The newly acquired Tyranitar could help solve that.
With Tyranitar in hand, as long as Kebi could tame Tyranitar to obey his commands.
Kebi could go to the Underground Black Market and take on some dangerous but lucrative missions.
Who knew how much money Aron had spent to finally form his initial combat force with Tyranitar, who now became Kebi's possession.
Thank nature for its gift.
As for Aron, the Nuzleaf would surely pulverize him and return him to nature once they returned.
As a Pokémon Hunter, meeting this end was a fitting demise.
Now, Kebi needed to find a quiet place to try and tame Fearow.
Compared to Tyranitar, whom Aron trusted, Fearow, who was seen as a tool bird by Aron, would be easier to tame.
Fearow and Tyranitar had, after all, worked together for a while; with Fearow's help in persuading, Tyranitar would be more likely to accept him as his new master.
