Chapter 652 - 651: The Psychic Cannon is Ready, All Units Stay Alert!
Cain's Pokémon unleashed their maximum combat potential, fueled by the rage simmering within them.
It wasn't just anger toward the two Team Aqua members but also toward himself for arriving too late to find Bagon.
Just as the two Team Aqua members crossed paths with Cain, he found an outlet to vent his frustration!
Drapion charged into the group of Pokémon, targeting a Dustox that didn't seem very strong, pinning it to the ground and mercilessly pummeling it without giving it the slightest chance to resist.
The other Pokémon tried to help, but Drapion paid them no attention.
At that moment, the attacks from Cain's other Pokémon also began to land.
Slowking, in its most powerful form, utilized its maximum psychic energy, its attack level amplified far beyond its expectations by the Blood of Mew.
Each dark psychic energy ball it generated was not only faster but had also doubled in size.
Originally, it needed six psychic energy balls to execute the move Psychic, but now it only needed three.
It had turned into a long-range automatic turret, with double the firepower.
The psychic cannon is ready, all units stay alert!
It specifically targeted Pokémon vulnerable to psychic-type moves, launching relentless attacks as if they cost nothing.
This significantly alleviated the pressure on Drapion.
Slowking's offensive capability alone was equivalent to half of the enemy's nine Pokémon.
It was incredibly strong!
Next, Weavile unleashed Blizzard, a move it now mastered perfectly.
With precise control, it adjusted the area of effect and snow quantity, ensuring Drapion, in the middle of the enemy Pokémon, was unharmed.
Snow quickly filled the confined space, and with Weavile's full power and control, the ice fully enveloped the blizzard.
The temperature around several enemy Pokémon dropped to over ten degrees below zero, reducing their speed, making it easier for Drapion and Slowking to land precise attacks.
Then came Honchkrow. Its Moxie ability had already stacked three layers, and with the charged Sky Attack, no Pokémon it struck could escape without being incapacitated.
Thanks to Altaria's advice, Honchkrow had drastically reduced its charge time, and its aerial combat skills had also improved.
The blue energy layer forming the celestial bird was much more detailed and sharp, with all patterns clearly visible.
It was far stronger compared to when it first learned the move.
"Caw!"
With a cry, Honchkrow soared through Weavile's blizzard.
The celestial bird's blue layer was adorned with snowflakes, making the attack appear even more impressive.
Boom!
With a single strike, Honchkrow withdrew without checking the attack's effect, folding its wings and flying backward out of Weavile's blizzard.
As it emerged, Honchkrow felt its energy surge once again.
With four stacks accumulated, its explosive power intensified even further.
Pash and Rina's faces were pale, partly due to the blizzard's cold and partly due to humiliation: their nine Pokémon were no match for Cain's four.
Rina suddenly remembered why Cain seemed vaguely familiar.
Earlier, she had felt as though someone was watching her, but the sensation quickly faded, and she ignored it.
Thinking back now, it was probably Cain who had been observing her.
He had already spotted them beforehand but chose not to confront them to avoid unnecessary trouble.
And now, these two had come straight to him!
They had run into an immovable wall!
"Pash, retreat! We can't win this time. We'll try again later!" Rina said to the burly man beside her.
"Retreat? Don't you see that Bagon behind him? Hold out a little longer! Drapion can't last much longer. If we defeat Drapion, his other Pokémon will be easy prey," Pash said, his face frozen but his anger undiminished.
He had already lost his Mightyena to Drapion, his Dustox was being savagely beaten, and Breloom had been taken down with a single strike from Honchkrow. They were all his Pokémon.
If he failed to capture Cain's Bagon, his future in Team Aqua would be over.
With so many rivals within the team, returning weakened would mean certain death.
He had no choice but to fight to the end.
"Give it everything you've got! Take down Drapion first!"
At that moment, Drapion, covered in scars, was just beginning to snap out of its frenzy of pummeling Dustox.
Dustox, utterly defeated, showed no signs of life.
However, Drapion had also sustained multiple injuries.
"Floette, use Grassy Terrain on Drapion!" Cain ordered the small Floette on his shoulder, who had been ignored until now.
"Fleett!"
With a spin of its flowers, Floette created a bright green field beneath Drapion, glowing lights quickly restoring its energy.
Feeling a surge of renewed strength, Drapion roared and leapt back into the fight.
This time, instead of just venting its anger, Drapion attacked the enemy Pokémon's weak points with precision, achieving great results with simple moves.
Seeing the effect of Floette's Grassy Terrain, even Pash realized they couldn't win this battle.
However, Rina had already decided to abandon him.
In his current state, Pash was just a burden.
As she turned to flee, she saw a grotesque ghostly face slowly emerging from her shadow.
"Ahhh!"
The fright was genuine.
"Kekeke!" Gengar was staring at her, laughing sinisterly.
"Gengar, capture them both!" Cain ordered coldly.
"Kekeke!" Gengar laughed again, but this time with a serious expression, shedding its mocking grin.
It could joke when it wanted, but it always carried out Cain's orders without fail.
With two dark balls floating in its hands, it stared coldly at the two enemies, ready to strike if they tried to escape.
The dark balls were ready to be unleashed.
Of course, Gengar didn't just stand watch. Once certain they couldn't escape, it turned to the enemy Pokémon and began its relentless assault.
