Chapter 169 Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together!
Therefore, Leighton descended from the sky, his giant fist slamming heavily into the black-robed man's chest!
The moment the fist struck, the earth cracked open, and the raging arcs of electricity and the blazing flames collided violently, triggering a series of explosions!
Struck by Guleton's punch, the man in black robes was already as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.
But he raised his head and looked at Li Luochen standing on the mountain peak, a smile curving his lips.
Alarm bells rang in Li Luochen's mind, and a sense of crisis instantly swept over him.
All that could be seen was the churning of dark clouds above the dome, with lightning flashing and scattering dimly, crashing down towards where he stood!
"Dragonite, Extreme Speed!"
Li Luochen remained calm under pressure. As he issued the command, he performed a somersault and leaped onto the back of the dragon.
"Whoosh~"
With a long roar, the dragon was enveloped in a pure white light as it nimbly weaved through the lightning net.
As the lightning faded, a gray Pokémon, resembling a UFO and entirely covered in steel, slowly descended from the dark clouds.
Atop his head stood a well-dressed, gentle-looking man, who was slightly bowing and gazing at Li Luochen across the distance, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Pokémon: Magneton
【Attributes: Electricity, Steel】
[Level: 64]
【Feature: Analysis】
[Movements: Electric Net (inherited), Electro Giant, Thunder, Magnetic Field Control... others omitted.]
A late-game Magneton at the Gym Leader level!
"Flare and Ripple can't fly, and Naganadel's Poison moves are ineffective against Magneton, which has the Steel type. Charizard, on the other hand, is super effective against Magneton's Electric type. So, Leton is below, and even if we wanted to climb it, it would take quite a while."
"So, with just one Dragonite... do you really intend to be my enemy, Mr. Li Luochen, the current gym leader of Minrong Gym?"
The man seemed unaware of Lugia's situation.
Seeing his confident expression, Li Luochen curled his lip: "Hey, you don't think I'm easily scared, do you?"
The man replied earnestly, "No, I know you're from Rong University."
"..."
Li Luochen's lips twitched.
How long ago is this meme?
The scene became awkward at one point.
But Li Luochen dared not make any rash moves.
It seems that the guy below is just a pawn too.
I wonder if the real chess player is the person in front of me.
A late-stage Dojo level dojo is somewhat fitting for this secret realm.
The man gently raised his folding fan and slowly waved it, creating a gentle breeze.
He glanced down at the battered Thunder Drum below the valley, then looked up at Li Luochen and spoke gently:
"We have no enmity between us, and I know you've come for this Pokémon. How about this: I'll relinquish this opportunity to capture it, and we can part ways here, each going our own way in peace. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
"Your suggestion does sound to some extent reasonable."
Li Luochen nodded slightly, but then abruptly changed the subject.
"But every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. Those people you ambushed outside the valley are ruthless, and their identities are even connected to Lan Island University."
"If this matter isn't thoroughly investigated, I'm afraid I'll never be able to eat or sleep properly again..."
His gaze was sharp, and his words were clear; he clearly had no intention of letting the matter rest.
Again.
If it were just a simple poacher, he might have stopped there.
At worst, we can just pretend to be polite and forget our roots once we get out.
But things are different now.
Even those with a junior college degree should not be underestimated.
This involves a matter of principle!
The squad leaders outside are all at the level of deans of students, and judging from the young appearance of the others lying in ambush, they are probably all student council members or something.
So, this seemingly gentle and refined man in front of me is probably someone of a higher rank...
If we were to shake hands and make peace, it would be tantamount to releasing a tiger back into the mountains.
If they were to return later, it would certainly cause unnecessary casualties to the local area.
The man narrowed his sword-like eyes slightly and gently closed his folding fan: "So, Master Li is unwilling to let us coexist peacefully and go our separate ways?"
"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."
Li Luochen stood with his hands behind his back, feigning a sigh: "If we were to release the tiger back into the mountains now, wouldn't that be like nurturing a boil that will eventually become a disease?"
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the Magneton beneath the man condensed into a silver projectile!
Steel-based beam cannon!
"Whoosh!"
Seeing that the opponent started fighting without saying a word, Dragonite's eyes widened in anger, and flames burst from its fists as it blasted towards the incoming beam cannon!
The fists collided, and the resulting shockwaves spread outwards!
To avoid being affected by the shockwave, Li Luochen leaped off the Dragonite.
At the same time, the Poké Ball at his waist glowed red, and Charizard appeared with a roar, catching Li Luochen as he fell.
Then it raised its head and spewed out a blazing flame, which went straight for the man on the back of the Magneton!
"A mere trick, utterly worthless!"
The man sneered, showing no fear as he faced the oncoming flames.
With a flick of his sleeve, a gray-brown pterosaur Pokémon suddenly appeared, its wings spreading and creating gusts of wind!
It was an ancient predator, a fossil pterosaur!
The moment it appeared, the fossil pterosaur's claws were outstretched!
Countless sharp stone blades instantly materialized, tearing through the fire curtain and shooting towards the fire-breathing dragon!
"Roar!"
Knowing it couldn't fight head-on, the Charizard immediately flapped its wings and dodged to the side.
In that split second, Magneton's single eye suddenly lit up with a scarlet light, and several target-shaped red dots locked onto Li Luochen's body like a persistent leech.
With just one glance, Li Luochen knew that this was a lock-on move!
[Lock-on: Locks the target into a locked state, guaranteeing a hit from the next attack on the target.]
This technique can be used on humans and will produce the same effect.
Charizard sensed the danger, but its locked-on move had already locked Li Luochen in place, so even if it sped up to dodge, it would be difficult to succeed.
A smirk played on the man's lips as he introduced himself: "Remember, the one who will take your life is Mo Yuan!"
He knew that trying to reason with him was futile, so he decided to act quickly to avoid any further complications.
"Mo Yuan... what a tongue-twisting name..."
Li Luochen read out the other person's name.
"Magneto, Aerodactyl, quick!"
Mo Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly and waved his hand lightly.
Magneto's body crackled with electric arcs, unleashing a thunderous roar from the heavens; while Aerodactyl flapped its wings and howled, countless boulders condensing from the void, blotting out the sun.
The two deadly moves complemented each other, sealing off all of Li Luochen's escape routes. The aim was to launch a multi-pronged attack, leaving him with no way to avoid it!
but……
Mo Yuan had no idea that Li Luochen had so many hidden cards!
"Shadow Strike!"
Then Li Luochen shouted loudly!
Click!
Space shattered!
Dark Lugia burst forth from the void rift, its massive tail whipping up Magneton, and together with the Ink Abyss on its back, slammed into Aerodactyl!
Swish!
As the fossil aerogon dodged to the side, its sharp claws darted out and precisely seized the falling Mo Yuan, while letting the exploding Magneton plummet into the abyss.
Mo Yuan's gaze was solemn. His fingertips lightly touched the keystone pinned to the folding fan, and he recited in a clear voice: "Predator who dwells in the ancient sky, today, in my name, I welcome you back!"
