Hunter J: Your spaceship?!

Chapter 78 Hunter J: Your spaceship?! (4k)

Sachi's ambitions have never been so inflated.

All of this was because of the Pokémon beside her—Darkrai.

From its appearance, its entire body seemed to be a shadow, its soul-white hair constantly churning.

It appeared terrifying and incredibly powerful.

This is a Pokémon that represents nightmares.

It possesses power that surpasses that of most Pokémon.

Although Sachi had just spoken arrogantly, she knew in truth that her "ambition" was not stable.

It has always been teetering on the brink of collapse.

After observing the situation, Sachi sent Hunter J, who was wearing armor, to scout the terrain elsewhere. Once he confirmed that Hunter J could no longer hear the sounds coming from this place, Sachi's expression turned cold.

"Darkrai!" Her tone held a hint of anger. "I ordered you to capture the so-called 'Lake Gods' from the lake! Why haven't you done it yet? I'm your trainer, you must carry out my orders!"

But Darkrai ignored her. To it, catching the pink Pokémon hiding in the middle of the lake was not only difficult but also a losing proposition.

It simply closed its eyes, ignoring the woman's angry words beside it, and focused on enjoying the terror generated by the nightmare of the surrounding Alliance members.

This will make it feel pleasant and comfortable.

Sachi's face darkened, and he cursed inwardly:

"One by one! Darkrai too, those self-important things. And that Hunter J too, he lost my most important 'Sword of Instantaneity.' What use is armor that can only prolong life without a sword—"

If she were to acquire an even more powerful Pokémon in the future, she would not hesitate to abandon Darkrai.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard in the distance.

Let's go back a little while.

Even in the afternoon, the sun still shone brightly in Masa Town, casting golden rays across the land, and the sound of the sea breeze could be heard.

But in the distance, above the outskirts of Masago Town, Hunter J could clearly sense a transparent and enormous object blocking the sunlight.

Even though it disguised itself to be almost identical to the environment, it could not escape the observation of Hunter J, who was one of the top hunters in Sinnoh.

She could vaguely see a few people coming down from there.

Then 1

He stood still and squinted for a moment.

With the help of the sunlight that cast a faint outline, she gradually came to see the outer curve of the object in the air.

She was stunned when she saw it clearly.

Because, why does that shape look so familiar? It's just like her stolen spaceship!

The "invisibility" function has been fixed?

Hunter J vividly recalled that her men, whom she had taken to the "Valley Power Plant," were almost entirely wiped out. And this spaceship, without a doubt, was captured by the Alliance.

That's her most precious spaceship! And now it's being used openly by the Alliance?!

Thinking of this, Hunter J, beneath his armor, felt his blood boil. Wen Shi glared angrily, his suppressed voice escaping through gritted teeth:

"alliance!"

From this angle, you can see the transparent edge of the spaceship's hull, and a "person" with pale yellow "hair" is propped up on the deck and "observing" the surroundings.

He must be one of the league personnel responsible for keeping watch.

Hunter J hates the League, especially that investigator!

"Since that's the case, don't blame me for going easy on you!"

With a bang, a lean Salamence roared and appeared around her. As she raised her arm to point in a direction, a thick Dragon Pulse shot out from the Salamence's mouth and suddenly shot towards the spaceship in the distance!

The Dragon-type energy gathers all the power of Salamence.

If the bomb were to hit the spaceship, given Hunter J's familiarity with it, while it wouldn't necessarily destroy the spaceship, the "yellow-haired alliance scouts" who were looking around would certainly fall to the ground.

This is interest!

She collects a small amount of interest from the alliance!

"Why did you attack my spaceship?"

But a sudden sound from the woods to the side made Hunter J immediately alert.

Along with the sound came an extremely precise beam of freezing light, striking first and striking hard in mid-air against the massive Dragon Pulse shot out by the Salamence.

壹—

An energy burst forth, a mixture of icy blue and deep purple!

The explosion neutralized the Dragon Pulse fired by the Salamence, leaving only a small amount of residual energy that caused a slight tremor in the spaceship.

Zeshu slowly walked out of the forest, with Ice Eevee following closely behind.

He glanced at the slightly swaying spaceship, a little worried that Li Yang wouldn't fall. Then he looked at the heavily armored man opposite him: "I said we shouldn't have any grudge, right? Even if we did, why are you attacking my spaceship?"

But he only saw the armored man turn to look at him, then visibly freeze for a moment, his body still trembling. After a while, a voice filled with suppressed hatred finally rang out:

"Yours? Yours?!"

"Could it be—" Ze Shu subconsciously retorted, but halfway through his sentence, his expression turned strange, "That voice—Hunter J? Why are you wearing this armor?"

He then noticed a somewhat familiar Salamence next to the armored man.

"You are—that investigator!" Hunter J gritted his teeth, wishing he could devour the person before him. "You're the one who turned me into this!"

Even though the investigator had disguised himself when he made the deal with her, Hunter J remembered every single detail perfectly, so she instantly recognized Sawaki as the investigator who had injured her.

"You dare call that your spaceship?" she roared, "Right in front of me!"

"No matter what you say, that's my spaceship. As a defeated opponent, it's not unreasonable for me to claim it as loot, is it?"

Ze Shu's matter-of-fact tone made Hunter J tremble with rage: "You—you!"

"What do you mean, 'you'?" Ze Shu laughed. "I still feel bad about letting you escape back then."

When he flew his spaceship to the Alliance, he learned that A-Liu was unable to find any information about Hunter J based on the information he had left behind.

All that could be found at the scene was a drag mark with some ice shards, and even teeth marks on it, leading to the sea. It seems that this hunter J, through sheer willpower, dragged himself away bit by bit with his mouth.

But such a terrible state made Ze Shu feel very guilty.

After all, if he had just captured Hunter J, she wouldn't have had to suffer this "bite by bite" pain.

Hunter J was furious; even through her armor, Ze Shu could see that she was trembling all over.

Then came her furious roar: "Flame Breath!"

At the same time, she raised the modified bombardment device in her hand, and orange-red light gathered, as if she wanted to blast it to pieces!

The situation is quite similar to what happened during the initial transaction, except that Hunter J is no longer running away.

Thinking this, Ze Shu simply whispered, "Eevee."

"Buyi!"

Faced with the massive Dragon Pulse suddenly unleashed by Salamence, Glaceon, surrounded by ice pillars and slabs, did not use Ice Wall to block as before. Instead, with a delicate cry, a complex and refined blizzard instantly appeared and engulfed its opponent.

Pyripril-

No matter how magnificent and massive the flames were, Glaceon's blizzard was now even more massive.

Accompanied by the sound of fire and snow melting away, a blizzard engulfed the jet flames and pressed down on the Salamence and Hunter J!

It seemed that they would all be frozen in the next moment!

"Salamander, hold on!" Hunter J's expression beneath his armor was ferocious, his arm trembling violently as he charged his beam weapon. "If only... if only this hits—"

Despite the blizzard obstructing her view, she used all her strength to aim at the other person.

The increasingly frequent beeping of the arm's mechanism indicated that the charge was complete and it was ready to fire. Hunter J stared intently at Sawaki, his expression beneath the mask twisting into a maniacal rage: "I'll make you taste what I did back then!"

But·

In her frenzy, she didn't notice that, beneath the cover of Glaceon's blizzard, a ghostly figure hidden in the blizzard suddenly appeared quietly beside her.

Seeing that the woman wanted to attack Ze Shu, the Snow Fairy glared at her angrily. Then, seizing the opportunity, she simply slapped Hunter J's firing arm to the side, changing the direction of her firing more than 100 degrees and immediately aiming at the body of the Salamence next to her.

Just then, a beam of light shot out from his arm!

Boom!

Centered on Salamence, a hazy, intense halo of light instantly filled Zeki's vision, encompassing Hunter J, who was wearing armor, beside Salamence.

A fierce, mournful cry rang out from within: "Gurgle-Gurgle!!"

Ze Shu smirked: "What kind of prism laser is this? It's a weapon that's beyond human control. Why use it so recklessly?"

Fortunately, they were able to operate from a distance that was far enough.

Although we don't know what kind of weapon it is or how powerful it is, judging from the commotion it's causing, Hunter J and the Salamence are probably in for a rough time.

Seeing the Snow Fairy appear beside him, nuzzling him with her cool little head, Ze Shu smiled:

"Thanks to you. And of course, to little Eevee too."

The snow fairy narrowed her eyes slightly: "Mmm~!"

It was happy to be able to help Ze Shu.

Ice Eevee simply tilted its head back haughtily: "Eevee!"

This is nothing to it!

But then Ze Shu vigorously rubbed its raised head: "Eevee is great."

I rubbed it for a while until Eevee's face turned a little red.

The beam of light created by Hunter J in the center gradually subsided, revealing first the dying body of the Salamence, followed by Hunter J's armored body lying motionless on the ground.

Her entire armor appeared to have been melted by fire, its surface churning and muddying.

But judging from the slight rise and fall of her chest, the "Eternal Armor" was still keeping her alive; at least she wasn't dead.

Ze Shu couldn't help but marvel at the power of the "Eternal Armor": "It can even save your life?"

What would happen if we removed her "Eternal Armor"? Perhaps we could study the armor's survival mechanism.

As Ze Shu was thinking this, suddenly...

"Cursed Doll! Shadow Claw!"

The moment you hear the sound, you can sense that the cold, strong wind behind you is very close.

In the distance, Sachi grinned coldly: "The one who could make Hunter J so angry must be the investigator that 'heart-wrenching' boss, Crimson Sun, is 'longing for'?"

"It was worth the long wait."

"At this distance, there's absolutely no way the opponent could react to a sneak attack! Unless—"

These thoughts flashed through her mind, but Sachi noticed a change in the scene she was observing.

Clang! But just as her cursed doll's shadowy "Shadow Claw" descended upon the investigator's head, a straight sword suddenly appeared in the investigator's hand and blocked the cursed doll's "Shadow Claw" at an impossible angle in a fraction of a second.

Immediately, the cursed doll whose attack was blocked was overwhelmed by the moves of the two angry Pokémon beside the investigator, and was about to lose its ability to battle.

What started as a confident sneak attack turned into the rapid death of his own Pokémon.

Sachi's previously smug eyes suddenly widened: "What—"

After a moment of stunned silence, her gaze suddenly fixed on the sword that had appeared in the investigator's hand, her disbelief deepening: "That's my Instant Sword—how could it be with him!"

Didn't that guy Hunter J lose this sword in the snowy mountains?

But she didn't have much time to think.

Because the investigator's Pokémon had angrily locked onto her hiding place.

A freezing wind carrying snowflakes and a blindingly bright beam of frozen light suddenly attacked her.

In desperation, Sachi could only throw two Poké Balls in quick succession. With two cracking sounds, a Persian and a Starmie appeared in front of her, desperately blocking the two attacks coming from the opposite side.

The cat boss was pierced by the freezing beam and sent flying backward. The remaining impact slammed into her body, causing them to tumble and roll on the ground together!

On the other side, the starfish with the frozen wind was surrounded by superpowered light, but it was not injured.

"So there's some shady character here." Ze Shu looked at Sachi. "Hiding and dodging, what's the big deal?"

Although he sometimes resorts to sneak attacks, it doesn't stop him from taunting his opponent after dealing with their attack.

"cough-"

Sachi struggled to his feet, his face grim. "I'll show you if I'm really just a hide-and-seek guy!"

"Darkrai!" she called out coldly.

Nearly four or five seconds passed, enough time for Zeju's Pokémon to fire at her twice and at least defeat her Starmie, before Darkrai finally arrived.

Sachi looked resentful but didn't say anything. However, as the black aura gradually rose around Darkrai's body, she looked at Ze Shu and gave him a smug smile.

The situation is now in her hands!

"See this power? Kid, if you know what's good for you, you'd better surrender obediently."

"So I can hand you over to Boss Crimson Sun intact, without you looking around aimlessly!"

"I'm asking for help, don't worry," Ze Shu said.

He had barely finished speaking.

A man with a red afro walked out from where he had just been, with an Infernape beside him whose head was covered in flames.

Immediately afterwards, from another location, accompanied by a buzzing sound, a green-haired boy emerged, with the Queen Bee, who commanded countless worker bees, beside him.

Two of the Sinnoh Elite Four members, Daiya and Aryu, appeared at this location simultaneously.

"Haha, Zeqi, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Da Ye was laughing heartily, while A Liu scratched her head shyly.

"I've been fighting here for so long, and this is the first time I've arrived," Ze Shu said with a hint of helplessness.

But Sachi's expression suddenly turned ugly.
