Victory, Water Heart Peach

Chapter 31 Victory, Water Heart Peach

The powerful whip struck the earth-based tortoise, grabbing the oak tree on its back and dragging its heavy body, causing it to flip violently to the ground. The intense tremor made it feel as if the mountain itself was shaking.

Seeing this scene, Cliff, who had just thought that he wouldn't waste too much time, was stunned and stared at Ponpo wearing a mask.

"What's with this little thing's power?"

Not to mention him, even Ponpo was surprised by his own power just now. However, because of the mask, no one else could see it; all they could see was a terrifying ghost face.

"Hmm..."

Is it just my imagination? Even though I don't have those masks, my power has increased. That's strange... Wait, why don't I have the masks?

A demon mask... Although it doesn't have any sparkling gems on it, it's still a mask!

As the central area of ​​Beishang Township, Guishan has the most concentrated Taijing energy. As Pengpeng burst forth with the desire to fight alongside her companions, these energy particles also adhered to the mask.

The mask is used to hold memories, transforming those beautiful and sad memories into one's own power, reflecting and shining on the face—this is the power of the Egui Peng!

"Don't let it get up, mallet!"

Meiyu continued waving and shouting. Ponpo, without any hesitation, leaped lightly and slammed its thorny club into the rock on Torterra's back with tremendous force, but the Shadow Pokémon felt no pain...

Despite the damage, it straightened up in the next second, the dark flames seemingly hinting at its anger, and perhaps even pain...

"Click!"

The Earth Tortoise roared, creating a silver halo around its body. Dragging its heavy body, it unleashed a powerful charge, rushing forward like a dump truck.

But it was too slow. Ponpo easily dodged it with a light jump. However, the distance was too close, and Mingyou herself didn't have time to dodge. It was like being suddenly taken away by a dump truck in her past life. This was a treasure for Mingyou!

Seeing that Mingyou remained motionless, Cliff crossed his arms and said with a smile, "Aren't you going to get out of the way? The Earth-Turtle can't stop in time."

"Mmm!"

Ponpon immediately landed, stepping onto the earthen platform turtle's back, throwing away the thorny vine stick, and grabbing the oak tree on the other's back with both hands. Relying on its own strength, it forcibly stopped the other and even threw it to the ground again.

Mingyou caught the thorny vine stick that Pengpeng threw to her, and replied with a smile, "Do you think I need to dodge? Have faith in your own child!"

"..."

Seeing this, Cliff had already sensed that Ponpo was unusual and had a guess.

This Pokémon... is probably more suitable as a test subject for the Shadow Pokémon experiment than Latias. What they need is a Pokémon that can feel emotions towards humans and can easily understand them!

We must take it with us...

This was the decision Cliff had made in his mind. It was already a bit troublesome to capture Latias, but this little thing was a possibility!

So he took out another Poké Ball. Although Shadow Pokémon are powerful, they are uncontrollable, so he could only use regular Pokémon to battle.

But a sudden explosion in the distance brought him back to his senses, and he turned to look.

The Electrifying Beast, enveloped in dark flames, was blasted into the sky at close range by Latias, who endured the pain in his body, using a meteor shower...

Cliff almost forgot, there's still one here, he can only pray that the Electrified Beast can hold on.

"Latias, from now on, follow my orders!"

Naruyu could tell that Latias was not good at fighting and was just randomly attacking with his combo attacks. Although Meteor Shower was powerful, it also consumed a lot of energy. The brief period of weakness after its release made it easy for the opponent to take advantage of the opening.

Hearing this, Cliff couldn't help but laugh out loud: "What are you thinking, kid? It's... now."

Before he could finish speaking, Latias, who had just taken to the air, immediately responded.

"Waaah!"

Latias then flew over without hesitation, and Cliff exclaimed in disbelief, "What?! This... is impossible! What did you do?!"

Team Rocket went to great lengths to capture Latias, but this kid could make him obey with just a few words. This is probably the kind of treatment only protagonists in web novels get!

Mingyou handed the Thorn Stick back to Ponpo and looked up to reply, "Pokémon aren't pets, nor are they tools for you to achieve your goals. They are creatures that live in this world just like humans, and they all have feelings. Treat them with sincerity, and they will respond to you!"

"snort!"

Cliff scoffed and said, "Pokémon and humans on equal footing? What a joke! A bunch of things used to make money dare to compare themselves to me?"

He felt humiliated, his forehead bulged with bruises, and the Earth Platform Turtle, which had flipped over to right itself again, and the Electric Beast, which had landed, rushed towards this side at the same time.

Dark flames shot into the sky, and the pain and repressed emotions transformed into power, rushing towards them!

Mingyou immediately waved his hand: "Mist Ball!"

Upon hearing the sound, Latias shook the feathers on his body, turning them into mist. However, instead of gathering them into a ball and launching them out, he dropped them directly below, forming a mist that concealed them within.

Losing their targets, Electivire and Torterra stopped simultaneously. Cliff instantly realized what was happening and hurriedly prepared to throw his last Poké Ball, but Ponpo suddenly appeared from the mist.

Look at me!

It took off its mask, revealing its cute face underneath, and used "Look at me!" to instantly attract Cliff's attention. Ponpo seized the opportunity and swung its thorn stick like a baseball, knocking away the opponent's Poké Ball.

"What...?"

"Isn't my Ponpon adorable?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out, followed by a Dragon Pulse that pierced through the mist, striking Electivire and Torterra directly and detonating in front of them!

The powerful explosion instantly knocked Cliff off his feet, and Mingyou finally appeared. Together with Pengpeng, they grabbed the thorny vine and swung it forcefully at Cliff, giving him no chance whatsoever...

"it's over!"

"you……"

Cliff tried to withstand the attacks with his strong body, but how could his well-trained physique possibly defeat them!

A perfect combo easily sent him flying, crashing into a small mound in the distance and sinking into it, instantly rendering him unable to fight.

"We won!"

"Mmm~"

Mingyou hugged Ponpo and jumped up with joy. They had actually defeated Team Rocket.

"Waaah~"

Latias, flying nearby, finally smiled after teaching these bad guys a lesson.

I thought I was doomed today, but I was not only rescued, but I also beat the bad guys to a pulp. When I get back, I will tell my brother about it and let him know that his sister is also very powerful!

The two Shadow Pokémon were also unable to battle in the explosion, the other Team Rocket members were mostly unconscious, and the helicopter was destroyed. The chaos was basically over.

Mingyou patted the dust off herself and Ponpo, looked up at Latias, and said with a smile, "Very good teamwork,~"

"Waaah~"

Latias smiled and nodded in response. It could sense that the other party had no ill intentions towards it and was not this human. Today, it was in danger.

Just then, blue particles suddenly began to emanate from its highly crystalline surface, forming a card that began to rotate in front of Mingyou...

[Latias (lv2): After being used on a peach tree, the type changes to a Water Peach Tree, which can grow Water Peaches that can enhance spiritual power.]

"Peach?"

Mingyou was slightly taken aback. It seemed that she would need to clear more space in the orchard to plant other fruits, and she was sure she would reap a good harvest in the future.

Accepting the card symbolizing goodwill, he looked up, smiled, and replied, "Thanks!"

"Huh?"

Latias looked on with a puzzled expression, wondering why the other person was thanking him. Shouldn't he be the one saying thank you? This human is so strange.

"Ha ha."
