Pokémon: Reborn as Lucario

Chapter 149: Recklessness Personified

The General Captain, after venting his anger, had calmed down somewhat.

Looking at the three motionless Pokémon in the iron-chain net, he snorted, then took out a phone from his pocket and said coldly, "Hey, it's me. Land the aircraft."

With a "rumble, rumble" sound, a small aircraft descended from the sky.

Claws extended from the aircraft's underside. After hooking onto the iron-chain net, it was about to take off again.

Rio felt somewhat powerless. As a Fighting-type Pokémon, with his hands and feet tightly bound by the iron-chain net, he was completely unable to execute any moves. The only thing he could use was Aura Sphere, but with his current proficiency, he could only form it in his hands. This, however, would cause accidental injury to Snivy and Ruru, who were pressed tightly against him.

Moreover, those several Pokémon with black light shining in their eyes were also staring intently at him, preventing him from making any small moves.

Just then, Rio heard the sound of many rustling footsteps.

"Awooo, awooo! (Pokémon Language) Big Brother, we've finished the 10-kilometer run! What should we train next?"

A Vigoroth, drenched in sweat but in high spirits, popped out from the bushes.

"…"

Mightyena and the other Pokémon all looked at the suddenly appearing Vigoroth with icy gazes.

Facing the group of powerful and ferocious Pokémon, Vigoroth showed no fear at all. It looked around as if they weren't there, and after seeing the situation of Rio being caught in the iron-chain net, it couldn't help but fly into a rage. "(Pokémon Language) Who are you people? What do you want, capturing my Big Brother?"

After roaring, feeling that its voice wasn't loud enough, it turned and roared at the space behind it.

"(Pokémon Language) Brothers, come on out! Our Big Brother has been captured!"

A large number of Pokémon from the Natural Park, cracking their knuckles, popped out one after another. They indignantly shouted harsh words at the General Captain's dark-controlled Pokémon, telling them to quickly release their Big Brother.

The General Captain, seeing the dark mass of Pokémon before him, revealed a cold smile.

"A group of beasts, you don't know death when you see it."

He signaled to the dark-controlled Pokémon, who were already getting restless.

"Go! While you're at it, capture this group of beasts too. We can sell them for money."

The confronted Vigoroth roared, not to be outdone, even forcefully beating its chest with both fists.

"(Pokémon Language) Brothers, go! Let's get our Big Brother back!"

"Awooo, awooo, awooo—"

"Wooo, wooo, ya, ya—"

"Chaa, chaa, chaa, chaa—"

All sorts of chaotic cries came from the mouths of the Pokémon, and then they swarmed forward chaotically.

It had to be said, for this group of primarily Fighting-type Pokémon, the word "reckless" was written in capital letters on their foreheads. They didn't care at all about the gap between themselves and the few finally-evolved Pokémon on the other side. Instead, they charged forward, swinging their fists with half-baked fighting techniques.

However, sometimes, if you write the word "reckless" backwards, isn't it just "courage"?

In any case, Rio felt this deeply. Amidst his feelings of being moved, his little brain was spinning rapidly.

"Think fast! Is there anything that can solve this current problem?"

He felt a sense of déjà vu from this scene of him observing from the sidelines and using his brain.

However, those Pokémon, controlled by darkness and having basically lost their sanity, only felt that the chaotic scene before them was extremely disgusting.

Mightyena let out a low growl from its throat, then opened its bloody maw and let out a loud roar.

The Dark-type move [Snarl]!

The Dark-type attribute displayed an aura full of malice. The malice felt almost tangible, and coupled with the rolling sound waves, it directly intimidated many of the Pokémon.

Shiftry's hands, which were like three-leafed fans, flapped rapidly. Countless leaves with a dark sheen flew out, churning the scene like a blender.

The Grass-type move [Grass Mixer]!

Exploud really couldn't take it anymore. Its huge mouth noisily let out a roar, making the Pokémon with keen hearing unable to help but cover their ears.

The Normal-type move [Uproar].

Krookodile used [Sand Tomb] to kick up a sky-full of sand and dust, while Drapion insidiously used [Poison Fang] everywhere, trying to poison the Pokémon.

Even though Honchkrow was controlled by the dark light, it seemed to retain a bit of reason. It watched covetously from the side, not using any moves.

The Pokémon from the Natural Park, who were confronting them, were somewhat at a disadvantage.

After all, they were all wild Pokémon and hadn't undergone systematic training. Even if they had learned some powerful moves, they only used them instinctively. If this was the case even when using moves alone, one couldn't expect them to cooperate with each other.

But even though they were being suppressed by those few dark-controlled Pokémon, the impassioned Pokémon of the Natural Park showed no fear at all, fighting with increasing courage.

Because, for a creature like a Pokémon, sometimes instinct is their most powerful weapon.

Among them, Vigoroth fought with the most excitement.

"Awooo, awooo! (Pokémon Language) Big Brother said, when you punch, you need that waist-and-stance unity! First, twist your waist, then drive the power from your hands..."

Vigoroth tried to use the punching force technique taught by Rio. To be honest, Vigoroth itself didn't have a clue about the exquisite fighting techniques Rio had mentioned, but just by relying on its body's instinct, it subconsciously twisted its torso, its right fist drew a round arc, and then, it swung out a punch with all its might.

There was no energy light, not even any special effects. There was only... a pure fist, with its energy condensed to the extreme!

"(Pokémon Language) Eat my fist!"

[Focus Punch]!

A super-strong move with a power of 150 in the games!

An absolutely strong punch thrown with full concentration!

The fist cut through the air, creating explosive sounds.

"Bang!" The unaware Shiftry took this heavy punch straight to the face. After an explosive sound, it instantly felt as if it had arrived in heaven. It spat out a large amount of foam, and its entire Pokémon self was sent spinning 360 degrees in the air by the one blow, its eyes seeing stars as it fainted and collapsed.

Vigoroth hadn't expected to be able to unleash such a powerful blow and was somewhat stunned.

Then, it became super excited and beat its chest, making "thump, thump" sounds.

"Awooo, awooo, awooo! (Pokémon Language) Big Brother, did you see that?! I did it! Big Brother, your guidance is really useful!"

"Ooolalalala! (Pokémon Language) Second Brother is invincible and mighty!!!"

Seeing their "Second Brother," who had led everyone to finish the long run, being so fierce, the Pokémon of the Natural Park were even more excited, howling, their offensive momentum becoming even more valiant.

As the saying goes, though an elephant is strong, it cannot defeat a large swarm of ants.

Amidst the "wild haymakers" randomly thrown by the host of Pokémon whose morale had reached its peak, those dark-controlled Pokémon also slowly began to be unable to hold out. Even if the black light in their eyes flickered more frequently and their strength received a slight boost, they were still gradually hit by their opponents and slowly began to be defeated.

"Hmph!!!"

The General Captain, watching coldly from the sidelines, had a very bad feeling.

He gritted his teeth and decided on a tactical retreat.

Because in the distance, people were rushing over one after another.

It seemed the fallen Park Rangers nearby had been discovered. Many trainers with powerful auras were rapidly approaching the source of the commotion.

"We're leaving!"

The General Captain turned and walked towards the cockpit of the aircraft. The subordinate waiting in the cockpit directly made the aircraft fly up into the sky.

Then, several flashes of light, and the few dark-controlled Pokémon that had been in a melee with the host of Pokémon were recalled into their Poké Balls.

Only the Pokémon, who were suddenly without an opponent, were left staring blankly as their Big Brother, shrouded in the iron-chain net, was slowly pulled up into the air.

"Awooo, awooo! (Pokémon Language) Big Brother!"

Vigoroth cried out anxiously but could do nothing about the aircraft flying into the sky.

But just at this moment, a dashing figure swiftly passed by Vigoroth.

At the same time, a young girl's voice sounded.

"Snivy, use [Vine Whip]!"

The familiar voice made Snivy freeze for a moment. Subconsciously, two vines extended from its neck and dangled down.

The young girl leaped up.

And so, the people on the ground could see a small aircraft, with a claw underneath hooking an iron-chain net that covered three Pokémon and a Pokémon egg. And below the iron-chain net were two vines, dangling in the wind, with a young girl clinging to them.

Yes, if one were to speak of the word "reckless," Míng Rìzhào was that and more.

The moment she saw her Pokémon being captured, without even thinking, she reacted with extreme speed, directly having Snivy extend its vines, and she then grabbed onto the vines, and as the aircraft flew up, hung in the air.
