Chapter 81 Escape and Interception
Chapter 81 Escape and Interception
After slicing Arbok away with its twin sheaths, it hovered steadily in front of Officer Jenny, unleashing both swords simultaneously, which emitted a buzzing vibration.
"You sneak attack on the lady, you despicable little snake! I despise Pokémon like you!"
"Why waste words with it? Just go and chop it down!"
Arbok's eyes widened. The two swords in front of him looked like a Pokémon, but they were making two different sounds. Was it crazy?
On the other side, Jun Sha Ran was still in a daze from the "Giant Snake Staring" and was about to fall when someone caught her, and her delicate body leaned against a broad and strong chest.
She looked up and saw Lin Ye's handsome profile with its sharp features. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face, giving his sculpted features a golden-red glow.
"So dazzling, so mesmerizing! Why is my heart pounding so hard? It must be the 'Giant Snake's Eyes' causing this!"
"It's you! Aren't you Jingjing's boyfriend? What are you doing here!"
"After the incident, I discovered some clues and came here specifically to investigate."
Jun Sha Ran's beautiful eyes were filled with complex emotions. She had received the most rigorous criminal investigation training in her family, but it was still very lucky that she had tracked him all the way here.
But Qiao Yijing's boyfriend—actually followed her too, and he seemed so calm and collected.
A complex mix of emotions welled up inside her—curiosity, admiration, but mostly envy and even jealousy!
Qiao Yijing has always loved to compare herself to her since childhood, and the two are generally considered to be evenly matched. So why is it that she can find such an amazing and handsome boyfriend now?
careful!"
Lin Ye suddenly pulled Jun Sha Ran away from her reverie. The next moment, a stream of purple venom shot across the spot where they had just been standing, corroding a crater in the ground that was emitting white smoke.
They looked up and saw that the Crobat had emerged from the sea of fire. Seeing that "Venom Impact" had failed, it flapped its four wings and rushed toward the two of them at lightning speed.
Crobat is among the fastest of the common Pokémon, and it's definitely not something two ordinary people could dodge.
However, the Crobat, which was sprinting at full speed, suddenly felt a biting cold wind coming from behind it. Its pupils contracted sharply, and it instinctively dodged to the side.
A biting wind swept through, leaving a trail of ice crystals in the air. Although the crossbowman dodged very quickly and was not hit directly, the cold air still invaded half of its body, and a thin layer of ice formed on its wings.
The cross-bat shrieked and glared angrily at its attacker—who else could it be but Lin Ye's Snow Fairy!
The latter floated in mid-air, its hands gently waving, and the cold air around it continuously condensed into ice crystals.
A slight smile played on her lips. Crobat already had a huge advantage against a Poison/Flying type, and now "Ice Wind" was causing some interference, affecting its most prized speed and agility.
Upon witnessing this sudden turn of events, the middle-aged man known as the "Poison Master" turned terrifyingly grim, staring intently at Lin Ye as he said:
"It's you! How did you find this place? Did you discover something in the haunted house?"
"Hehe~, I have to thank you for storing that gas. It made Gastly sense something was wrong, so I sent it to investigate beforehand. Otherwise, we might not have been able to find this place."
However, to be fair, it's a bit much for you to do such a difficult task alone. No wonder they set up the amusement park beforehand and even stored gas. You could just say you were unlucky!
"Hahaha~, bad luck! You found this place, kid. Whether it's my bad luck or your bad luck, we'll see. Let's all attack together and take them down!"
As he spoke, the man threw out several more Poké Balls, releasing several Poison-type Pokémon, all of which were only "Excellent" level.
But considering he raised so many Pokémon, it's no wonder he became a wanted criminal.
Seeing this, Lin Ye had Gastly and Zoroar disguised as a Dark type join the battle, while Tanjiro was sidelined because of his dubious origins.
In addition, Officer Jenny also brought out an "Excellent" Pidgeotto and an "Excellent" Zangiegant, working together to restrain the opposing Pokémon and appearing to have a significant advantage.
Especially when facing Arbok with its dual sword sheaths, as a Poison-type Pokémon, its greatest strength lies in its various disgusting methods of poisoning.
Just like Officer Jenny's Arcanine is much stronger than the opponent's Weezing, but because she is afraid of being poisoned, she is hesitant to act and cannot win the battle in time.
As for the Steel-type Dual Blades, Poison-type moves are completely ineffective. Arbok also lacks the "Corrosion" ability of Salazzle, and the "Dig" move will be dodged by the Ghost-type Dual Blades, making it impossible to attack.
After a brief struggle, the twin scabbards struck Arbok's vital spot with one sword. Arbok let out a scream and collapsed to the ground, unable to fight.
After losing a major "professional-level" combatant, the balance of the battle instantly shifted, and the opposing "poison master" knew that his chances of winning were slim.
"You wretched brat, you ruined my plans! I'll remember you, watch out so I don't run into you again."
Stop fighting! Gengar and Weezing, use Smoke Screen to cover us! Crobat, come back and take me away!
At the command, Crobat feinted an Ultrasonic Wave to force Froslass back, then immediately flew back behind its trainer, grabbed his back, and tried to escape.
Gengar and Weezing simultaneously released a thick cloud of poisonous mist, obscuring their vision.
Blastoise immediately unleashed Water Cannon to clear away the Smoke, but the Poison Master had already been carried into the air by Crobat.
Officer Jenny's Arcanine and Blastoise are both unable to engage in aerial combat, and her only Pidgeotto is too weak, so she has to use Hydro Pump and Flamethrower for ground-to-air attacks.
However, "Poison Master" was protected by Gengar and Weezing floating on either side, who intervened to deflect the attack.
For Lin Ye, whether or not he caught the wanted criminal made no difference, but his "professional" Gengar was very attractive to him.
So, taking advantage of the fact that Jun Sha Ran's attention was drawn to the "poison master" in the air, he quickly used the contract to communicate with the Snow Fairy, and then silently used necromancy.
A bizarre scene unfolded!
Gengar, which was originally guarding the Poison Master and about to escape, suddenly stopped and then hung in mid-air like a statue, unable to move.
Its eyes were wide open, filled with terror, because it felt an invisible force locking it in, as if it were being gripped by an unseen giant hand.
"Gengar, what are you doing?!"
Before the "poison master" could finish his reprimand, he saw that the Twin Swords Sheath and the Snow Fairy had already flown in to catch up. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and urge the Crossbat to hurry up.
Froslass and the Twin Blades were not originally targeting him; instead, they used Shadow Ball and Shadow Strike to attack Gengar.
The latter screamed and fell from the sky, crashing to the ground, unconscious!
