Latias Crystallization

Chapter 29 Latias Crystallization

Seeing that Mingyou was unwilling to reveal her name, Cliff didn't care. He was just having some fun to pass the time and there was no need to take it too seriously.

He held up the Poké Ball in his hand; due to his muscular physique, he could easily hold it with just two fingers.

"Come on, what's that called again... oh right, I think it's the Pokémon battles that you kids all like!"

As he spoke, Cliff gently touched the Poké Ball, and a beam of red light shot out, accompanied by a roar, instantly creating a violent sandstorm. Within the sandstorm, a pair of eyes suddenly lit up!

This Pokémon is covered in an armor-like green shell, with several spikes of different sizes extending from its head, neck, and the back of its shoulders, and a ring of smaller spikes at the end of its tail.

It has a pair of sharp teeth on its upper and lower jaws, two triangular holes on each side of its chest, the center of its back, and at the knees of its legs. The holes are black inside. There is a diamond-shaped notch on its abdomen and lower back. It looks extremely ferocious!

Tyranitar: An armored Pokémon with an extremely fierce personality. It will only strictly obey its trainer's orders, and it is almost impossible to gain its favor.

"Starting with this level of intensity..."

Looking at Tyranitar in front of him, Mingyou felt a tremor in his heart. He could tell from his intuition that the other party was powerful. In an instant, it felt as if even the sandstorm the other party had stirred up was stinging his face.

But he had no way to resist Bangiras. The only thing he could do was try to attract attention and gamble that the other party wasn't smart.

But that's all. It's just a Tyranitar... Mingyou's face showed a hint of arrogance, but the next second his expression changed in a flash, instantly turning into a fawning smile.

"Actually... I've always admired Team Rocket. I still have a portrait of Giovanni hanging in my house. Please give me a chance, bro..."

"???"

Not far away, Ponpo had already quietly crept up to the iron cage. The Mushroom, which was on guard, was distracted by the Tyranitar over there and did not notice Ponpo approaching.

"Waaah..."

Inside the cage, Latias let out a weak, soft cry as it noticed Ponpon.

Although it didn't know what this guy in the scary mask wanted to do, it remained wary and no longer trusted anyone here.

"Mmm!"

Ponpo squatted beside the cage, took off its mask, and whispered to Latias that it was coming to rescue Ponpo and asked it not to make a sound.

"Waaah..."

Looking at the adorable face under the Ponpo mask, Latias's vigilance instantly lessened. This was the benefit of being cute; an adorable appearance naturally evokes goodwill and can also make opponents careless.

Hearing that the other party said they had come to rescue him, Latias, who had nowhere else to turn, could only place his only hope on the other party. Anyway, he was so badly injured that he couldn't escape, so he believed that one rescue wouldn't hurt.

"Waaah..."

"Mmm!"

Ponpo pointed to the dragon-attribute crystal not far away, indicating that Latias could be fully restored using that crystal, but they had to cooperate well and hurry.

After all, it was very anxious, constantly watching Mingyou, who was experiencing a sandstorm, and worried that she would be eaten by that standing "big monster".

Latias, his eyes weary, also noticed Mingyou. Through his keen senses, he realized that this human was risking his life to attract attention in order to help him.

Having gone through so much, its impression of humans was quite poor, but now it's changing a little...

"Waaah..."

"Mmm!"

Seeing that it agreed to cooperate, Ponpo prepared to rescue it. However, although there was a hole in the cage, the mushroom was still there. Pulling Latias out would definitely alert the other party...

"Hmm..."

So what should we do?

Mingyou didn't tell it what to do. After thinking for a while, Ponpo simply opened its arms and picked up Latias along with the iron cage, carrying it away.

"!!!"

Mingyou, who was still rambling on, happened to catch this scene and almost couldn't hold back his smile. Team member Ponpo is incredibly strong!

"What's wrong?"

Cliff frowned slightly, noticing the fleeting unease on his face, then asked, "You just said you're from the same hometown as Apollo? Then hurry up and tell me about his embarrassing past. If I'm happy to hear it, I'll give you a spot in the branch."

"Big dummy..."

Mingyou thought to herself, "As expected, these muscular guys are all brains. They get easily swayed after just a couple of conversations. I guess I was just lucky. As for the rest..."

Ponpo hugged the cage and ran frantically, but it was too anxious and wobbled, accidentally knocking a corner of the cage to the ground.

The mushroom that was watching the commotion suddenly snapped back to reality when it heard the sound, but there was no cage behind it anymore.

"Beep beep!"

"What's going on?!"

Upon hearing the cry of the Breath of the Wild, Cliff turned around abruptly and saw a strange Pokémon wearing a mask carrying the cage containing Latias and running away. Only then did he finally realize what had happened!

"You bastard! You're trying to play dirty tricks on me, aren't you!"

"broken……"

Mingyou's heart tightened. After realizing her mistake, Ponpo didn't care about anything else and threw the cage towards the Taijing Crystal with all her might. Then she took out the Thorn Vine Staff and rushed over.

"Mmm!"

Seeing Tyranitar begin to move and was about to attack Naruto, Ponpo exerted force again and swung the thorny vine club in her hand, accurately hitting Tyranitar's head. The effect was outstanding, and the damage was very significant!

Feeling intense pain, Bangiras clutched his head and sat down on the ground.

Mingyou reacted quickly, leaping up to catch the thorny vine that had been deflected, and smashed it down on Chris's head!

"Lie down! This is our exhilarating combo!"

With a bang, the attack successfully hit Cliff's head. That was a spiked club; a hit on the head would at least take a while to recover.

That's what Mingyou was thinking, but to his utter surprise, the thorny vine club struck Cliff's head and didn't even leave a drop of blood!

Even more outrageous, Cliff grabbed the thorny vine with just one hand and easily lifted him up before he could let go!

"Huh?!"

"Let's end this game. How could a mere stick possibly be a match for my well-trained body! Kid, your purity... is too low!"

Cliff exerted a sudden burst of strength, his arm veins bulging, and flung Mingyou and the thorny vine club flying, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop.

Now that the game of playing house with the kids is over, it's time for the adults!

After being tricked, Cliff instantly flew into a rage. With a wave of his hand, he ordered his men to beat the brat in front of him and then throw him off the mountain.

Despite the pain, Ke Mingyou sat up from the ground and said with a smile, "Sorry, the game is indeed over. It's just a pity it wasn't me, but you..."

"You still want..."

Before Cliff could finish speaking, a sound like an iron cage exploding rang out. Although it was still daytime, the surroundings seemed to darken instantly, accompanied by a gust of wind.

All the members of Team Rocket instinctively turned around and looked into the distance... at the blue crystal that was radiating a dazzling aura and shining brightly!

click-

A shattering sound suddenly rang out, and under everyone's gaze, the crystal instantly exploded, and the blue and purple light particles that burst out, accompanied by strong winds, formed a tornado.

Meanwhile, Latias, who had been in a sorry state before, now had a body surface that seemed to be coated with a dazzling crystal, making him look like a work of art.

On its head, a miniature and adorable dragon lies motionless with its wings spread, which is the Taijing Gem representing the dragon attribute!

At this crucial moment, Latias broke free of his cage, regaining his radiant appearance, and looked down at all the enemies below, venting his rage!

"Waaah!"
