Chapter 1280: Team Radiance
Chapter 1280: Team RadianceAfter the sparring session between Mewtwo and Cosmoem, Yuga called to order the equipment Mewtwo needed for its experiments and purchased the specific materials it had requested online. Seeing how dedicated Mewtwo was to its re
"Tina~" Sith drawled, elongating the name. He was the leader of Team Radiance's squad, and "Tina" was the alias Kerry used during her infiltration.
"Let the kid go, and I'll go with you," Kerry said as she pulled Shuuya further behind her.
"None of you are leaving today," Sith said cruelly, his pitch-black eyes glinting as if they could emit light.
Suddenly, Shuuya took out a Poké Ball and released a Flygon.
"Flygon!" Shuuya shouted.
The massive Pokémon filled most of the room the moment it appeared. Its tail lashed out at Sith and his Houndoom. Caught off guard by the sudden attack, both Sith and Houndoom were struck and sent flying.
Crash! Boom!
The sound of shattering glass echoed as half the balcony wall collapsed. Sith and Houndoom tumbled downward, their angry roars fading as they fell.
Inside the room, Shuuya quickly climbed onto Flygon's back, pulling Kerry up with him.
"Flygon, go!"
With a powerful push from its legs, the Flygon leaped through the broken balcony, flapped its wings, and soared into the sky, carrying Shuuya and Kerry away.
Shuuya glanced back at the inn, where half of a wall had collapsed. Silently, he apologized in his heart, thinking he'd come back to compensate for the damage after they escaped the crisis.
Of course, Kerry would have to cover the costs. He was just collateral damage in this mess, and paying wasn't an option for him.
Fortunately, the damage was limited to the room's wall, leaving the rest of the inn intact. Otherwise, Kerry would owe a fortune.
Reflecting on what had just happened, Shuuya's heart was still pounding wildly. He couldn't believe he had pulled off such a daring act.
Kerry's thoughts were even more complex. She hadn't expected this boy to go to such lengths to help her.
And then there was the Flygon they were riding—it seemed absurdly strong. Were all young Trainers this formidable these days?
As Shuuya and Kerry fled, members of Team Radiance, led by Sith, gave chase while riding on Fearow.
Sith's face was livid with anger. He hadn't expected to suffer such a major setback and was seething with rage, wishing he could tear Shuuya apart.
"Fearow~"
The grating cries of the Fearow echoed from behind. Shuuya turned his head and felt his blood run cold.
"Flygon, hurry... hurry up! They're catching... catching up!" Shuuya stammered.
Flygon, being an Elite level Pokémon, could have easily annihilated the pursuers if it weren't for the burden of carrying Shuuya and Kerry.
Their pursuers numbered more than a dozen. If Flygon fought at full strength, it couldn't ensure the safety of the two passengers on its back, both of whom were essentially defenseless.
Flygon's speed outmatched that of the Fearow, and it gradually pulled away from the pursuers.
Seeing the gap widen, Sith ordered the Dodrio to use the move Uproar to attack Flygon. The already unpleasant cries of the Fearow became even more unbearable as they unleashed their move, creating a chaotic noise that began to affect Flygon. Its speed gradually slowed.
White Cloud Town was not far from Meteor Falls, where the League had secretly established a training camp. The father of Yuga's Shelgon (a Level 100 Salamence) resided there too.
That evening, Salamence wasn't staying in Meteor Falls. The camp personnel didn't interfere with its movements, so it had found a spot by a nearby lake to sleep.
However, it was suddenly awakened by a commotion in the distance, the noise pulling it from its slumber.
Salamence wasn't known for its good temper. Flapping its wings, it prepared to track down whoever had disturbed its sleep and settle the score.
From far away, Salamence spotted the Great Flygon carrying two individuals on its back, flying toward it.
Well, isn't that the Flygon from that kid's place? Salamence thought in surprise. It often visited Verdanturf Town to check on its son, so it was no stranger to the air patrol squad's captain.
"Flygon~"
Flygon also spotted Salamence from afar and immediately called out to it. On its back, Shuuya and Kerry were bewildered.
Did they just run into someone (or something) familiar? How could their luck be this uncanny?
Then, they watched in shock as Salamence flew toward them and unleashed a stream of Flamethrower, prompting both of them to close their eyes in fear.
Fortunately, the pillar of fire didn't touch them. Instead, they heard a chorus of agonized screams behind them. Several of their pursuers, along with their Fearow mounts, were instantly incinerated into ash. If not for Sith's superior reflexes and strength, allowing him to dodge in time, he too would have met the same fate as his subordinates.
It's terrifying!
Kerry's eyes widened in disbelief.
Shuuya was less affected. Not being a Trainer, he lacked a clear understanding of Pokémon power levels. While he recognized Salamence's immense strength, he didn't grasp just how overwhelming it truly was.
Kerry, on the other hand, felt completely different. The ability to annihilate both people and Pokémon with a single move? Not even her grandfather, when he was alive, was capable of such a feat.
Meanwhile, Flygon felt reinvigorated. It had been thoroughly vexed by its pursuers, but now Salamence had vented its frustration for it. How could it not be overjoyed?
On the other side, Salamence's sudden arrival caused Sith's expression to turn ashen. Watching the remainder of his subordinates turn to ash under Salamence's Flamethrower, Sith quickly realized he was hopelessly outmatched. He turned around and attempted to flee.
However, Salamence wasn't about to let him escape so easily. A fiery column immediately blocked his path.
Its son worked under Yuga in Verdanturf Town. Now Yuga's air patrol captain was being bullied? It was Salamence's duty to stand up for them and set things right.
In no time, the rest of Sith's subordinates were reduced to ash by Salamence's relentless attacks. Shuuya, having never witnessed such carnage, stared in wide-eyed shock.
Savage. This was far too savage!
Just as Salamence was preparing to incinerate Sith as well, Kerry stepped in to stop it. At least one person needed to be kept alive for interrogation.
Salamence, considering that it was technically a League-affiliated Pokémon, heeded Kerry's request. Instead of killing Sith, it merely knocked him unconscious.
Sith had been brimming with confidence about hunting down Kerry. His twisted mind had wanted to toy with her, like a cat playing with a mouse. Yet in the end, he had forfeited not only his entire squad but also their lives.
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret.
With Team Radiance dealt with, Salamence carried Shuuya, Kerry, and Flygon to the training camp.
