Chapter 97
Pokémon Hunter, You Have Such a Daring Heart
Marie changed into her secondary's equipment, tidied herself up a bit, and wrapped her chest bandage to make herself look as similar to the other person as possible. Wei Xin shared his plan with Lillie and handed the Mimikyu's Poké Ball to Lillie.
"In conclusion, there is only one opportunity, and there are two goals."
"Take care of the Dream Eater and protect the hostages," Lillie repeated.
If these things are done, the League and Wanlong can confidently suppress Pokémon hunters.
"What's that in your hand?" Lillie asked, noticing that Wei Xin was holding a small box of protein powder.
Is it too late to start using protein powder to build muscle now? Maybe you should get some adrenaline or something.
At least it won't hurt too much when you get hit.
"Technology and ruthlessness! A final boost before the match."
Just in case, Wei Xin twisted open the lid. There wasn't much protein powder inside, enough for about two people. It wasn't dissolved, so he tilted his head back and poured it directly into his mouth, forcing it down.
Brothers, let's do this!
As a +4 appeared behind his physique on the system panel, Wei Xin felt a surge of power within him, and his body grew larger. With a ripping sound, his clothes were torn open, revealing solid, well-defined muscles.
"Wow!" Mary and Lillie's pupils contracted, and they exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
The long-haired troll standing nearby stared wide-eyed.
Dude, where did you get those muscles?
Campus loans?
So you've been treating me to all sorts of good food and drinks these past few days, feeding me tons of fatty carbohydrates, and then secretly working out at night, huh?
"Want some?" Wei Xin handed the remaining protein powder to the long-haired troll.
What a joke! The muscles you get from drugs are all fake; they can't compare to my body, which I've trained through countless trials!
But what if it works?
Watching Wei Xin conceal his long-desired, muscular physique within the suit, the long-haired troll hesitated for a long time before finally opening the protein powder container.
Just a small bite, just a small bite.
Then his body suddenly swelled up a size, and he felt an inexhaustible power flowing through his limbs.
What?! The muscles are real?
……
Mary and Lillie walked out of the hall into the darkness of the city, followed closely by the three-headed dragon and Wei Xin disguised as Hao Li.
Pokémon hunters patrolled the area with their Pokémon. One of them glanced at Lillie, who was holding a pen steadily in her hand, pointing it at her neck, and walking straight toward J. Without noticing anything unusual, he looked away.
"Has the landing gear problem still not been resolved?"
"It's okay, boss. We can still fly even if we can't retract the landing gear."
"If you can't retract the landing gear, I'll make you fly."
J frowned, looked up, and through the metallic reflection on the spaceship's surface, saw Lillie walking straight toward her, still holding a pen in her hand, her movements exactly the same as when she left.
But something just felt off.
Was it the Hydreigon beside them? Machamp? J wasn't sure because they chose the Pokémon they were carrying themselves.
Until I saw Lillie's eyes and the hand holding the pen, it stopped trembling.
No! Something's wrong!
"Stop right there and don't move!"
The alarm bells rang in J's mind. He shouted, attracting the attention of everyone around him. He turned around, and the tablet in his hand fell to the ground with the premeditated downpour. Fragments and water splashed everywhere, and the screen showed the three people who had started to run away.
Wei Xin grabbed the tail of the three-headed dragon, grabbed Mary's hand, and shouted loudly.
"The three-headed dragon, the dragon's swoop!"
"Roar~" x3
The three-headed dragon roared three times, and a magnificent dragon phantom enveloped the three. The rain evaporated before it even hit the ground, and the three streaked across the horizon like shooting stars.
Hunter J reacted quickly, throwing out three Poké Balls.
"Salamander, Dragon Scorpion, Poison Skull Frog, Dream Eater, Attack!"
The Dragon King Scorpion took the lead, its four legs sinking into the ground, the soil and rocks beneath its feet crumbling. It opened its mouth, enduring the damage, and its two claws gripped the two necks of the three-headed dragon tightly, biting down on the middle neck.
The three-headed dragon let out a painful howl, but when he thought about how he had messed up his actions and how he would be subjected to hellish discipline by the Mimikyu boss when he returned to the research institute, he realized that the dragon was in trouble.
No, that kind of thing! Fear overcame instinct, and the three-headed dragon suddenly felt an infinite power surging through its body. Ignoring the pain, it flipped the three-headed dragon to the ground.
Tell my older sister I'm not a coward!
Not far away, Lillie threw Mimikyu's Poké Ball at the professor and the others with all her might. Those Pokémon that had been ordered to hesitate about whether or not to attack the researchers recalled the fear of being dominated by Mimikyu in the research center after seeing the figure of Mimikyu in the sky.
Then there's only one answer.
So it turned around and attacked its own trainer.
Wei Xin and Mary leaped off the Hydreigon's back. Before Mary could throw the Poké Ball, Croagunk emerged on its own, stepping on the two of them and leaping high into the air. Before Toxicroak could use its move, a silvery-white light gathered in its hand, and it unleashed Brick Break, slamming it heavily onto Toxicroak's head, knocking it into the ground.
The long-haired troll followed closely behind, charging straight at the Salamence. With its muscles bulging and swelling, it grabbed the collar around Salamence's neck, which was inlaid with a Mega Evolution Stone, and elbowed the Salamence's head away, clearing a broad road to victory for Mary and Wei Xin.
Seeing this, the Pokémon hunter raised his hand and aimed the laser emitter at Wei Xin.
Wei Xin swung his long whip, the fleeting sound of it cutting through the wind tearing through the rain. The tip of the whip exceeded the speed of sound in a short time, smashing the laser emitter in the Pokémon hunter's hand.
Seeing this, the Dream Eater shook the metal ring in its hand rapidly, emitting a dangerous pink light. Its mental blade was aimed at Wei Xin, but it did not notice that in the overlapping shadows, a gaping maw suddenly opened and swallowed the mental blade, which had not yet been unleashed, into its belly.
"Morubeko, use Psychic Fang on Gengar," Marnie commanded.
"Mobe!" Mobe opened its mouth at Gengar and bit Gengar like it was biting a grape jelly, greatly reducing Gengar's stamina.
Within Gengar, the psychic blade of the Dreamweaver erupted, causing Gengar's body to burst like a balloon. The scattered parts fell into the shadows, swimming towards the Dreamweaver's feet, transforming into a giant scythe that cleaved the Dreamweaver's shadow in two.
My mission is complete!
The Dream Eater, mouth agape, eyes white, collapsed to the ground along with its body, the metal ring in its hand.
And so, the annoying whistling in the city dissipated with the wind, and the hypnotized people in the city trembled, their consciousness returning with the gleam in their eyes.
The group pushed open the door and stepped out onto the street, where they were washed clean by the heavy rain.
It was as if everything that had happened before was just a dream.
Thus, the long dream vanished, and the world turned upside down.
Seeing that the professors and senior students had all returned to normal, Lillie took out Wei Xin's phone and called out to the senior student in the research center.
"Objective achieved, now it's your turn."
"Leave it to me!" In the research center, the senior colleague waved his hand, and the intelligence that had been prepared in advance was transmitted to all relevant departments in Shanghai via the network.
The troops, who had been waiting for orders, and Officer Jenny, who had regained consciousness, began to move. The sound of their footsteps followed the ground beneath their feet and carried all the way to the airport grounds.
After the foreign objects were removed from the gears, the machine called the Eastern Alliance roared to life, emitting an angry low groan.
"Pokémon hunter, how dare you!"
Wei Xin landed on the ground, stood in front of J, straightened his back, raised his hand, glanced at the disheveled Pokémon hunter, and suddenly pointed: "Your days of causing trouble in Shanghai are over. Give me back my Eevee."
