Pokémon: Reborn as Lucario

Chapter 151: The Gorgeous Dance, Part 2

The dazzling pink light of evolution even made the General Captain in the cockpit lean out to look down.

"Kirlia!"

The crisp voice of the evolved Ruru rang out, announcing the joy of her evolution to the world.

"Hahahaha."

Míng Rìzhào couldn't even be bothered with the fact that she was still hanging in mid-air, sincerely happy for Ruru's evolution.

Ruru's figure flashed, and she broke free from the restraints of the iron-chain net.

"Honchkrow, [Sucker Punch]."

Unlike the joy of Míng Rìzhào and Ruru, the General Captain's face, seeing this scene, was gloomy and cold. He immediately had his subordinate stop the aircraft, and then summoned out the flying-capable Honchkrow.

Honchkrow, just like its master, had a cold expression. The entire Pokémon transformed into a stream of dark light and, following the wind, charged towards Kirlia.

Dark-type moves are extremely damaging to Psychic-type Pokémon. The reason is that the malicious aura of Dark-type moves will invade the minds of Psychic-type Pokémon, which focus on spiritual training, causing them to fall into a dispirited state. In severe cases, it can even cause serious damage to the latter's psychic power.

However, this all has a prerequisite: the aura must be able to envelop the Psychic-type Pokémon.

In other words, you have to be able to catch the Psychic-type Pokémon first.

"Swoosh!" Kirlia instantly disappeared from before Honchkrow's eyes.

The dark light, with its fierce momentum, crashed into empty air, a futile effort.

Kirlia landed gently to the side, her entire body enveloped in psychic power. Then, as if a stage had been erected in the sky, she stretched her limbs and began to dance gracefully. At the same time, from her mouth came a singing voice as melodious as a skylark's.

For a moment, the usually cold and ruthless Honchkrow's heart was stirred with a trace of admiration, causing it to involuntarily stop moving, flapping its wings as it floated dazedly in the air.

Psychic-types can't deal with Dark-types, but don't forget, Kirlia has another type.

The Fairy-type move [Disarming Voice], facing the male Honchkrow, shone brilliantly!

"Ruru, get us out!"

Rio tugged at the somewhat loosened backpack.

Kirlia's dance steps did not cease, but the pink psychic power from her body extended out, covering Míng Rìzhào, Snivy, and Rio and the Pokémon egg entirely.

Then, a bright light shone, and the group of people (and Pokémon) instantly arrived by Kirlia's side.

Only the empty iron-chain net was left, swaying powerlessly in the wind.

"…"

The General Captain's face was as dark as if it were covered by storm clouds. He couldn't help but curse at the Honchkrow, which had fallen into a charmed state and was just floating dazedly in the air, "Useless thing!"

He actually threw Honchkrow's Poké Ball out of the aircraft's window with a casual toss!!

Ignoring the Poké Ball falling through the air, the Poacher General Captain snatched the control stick from his subordinate's hand, increased the power, and was about to pilot the aircraft to escape.

Seeing this scene, even though he was an enemy, Rio still felt a surge of indignation in his chest.

A trainer who abandons their own Pokémon at will doesn't deserve to be a trainer at all!

The azure blue light of Aura swelled continuously with Rio's mood, making him feel an urge to vent!

"Rio, Ruru, Snivy!"

Míng Rìzhào, Kirlia, and Snivy beside him all felt the same way.

Without any prior agreement, the three Pokémon's bodies emanated their respective energy lights.

The azure blue light unique to Aura energy—Riolu.

The pink light of incomparably powerful psychic intent after evolution—Kirlia.

A verdant green light like fresh grass—Snivy.

A flash of lightning passed through Míng Rìzhào's mind.

"[Aura Sphere], [Psybeam], [Energy Ball]!"

Míng Rìzhào shouted the names of the moves at the top of her lungs!

"Bzzzt," the blue Aura energy projectile, the pink psychic beam, and the verdant green natural energy ball—three distinctly different energies converged, intertwining and winding around each other, forming a massive tri-colored beam!

The beam shot out, striking the aircraft with the force of a thunderbolt!

"BOOM—"

An explosion rocked the sky. The aircraft disintegrated directly in mid-air. Two human figures were thrown out of the cockpit by the aftershock of the explosion.

"Ruru!"

Rio shouted loudly.

Kirlia understood tacitly. She closed her eyes, and a wave of energy pulsed from her body.

"Swoosh!" And so, all the people and Pokémon present vanished completely.

…

Verdant Leaf City, inside the Normal-type Pokémon Gym.

Ruby and Sapphire had just returned not long ago and were now visiting the Gym Leader, Norman.

Naturally, the father and son were still bickering with each other, while Norman's wife was pulling Sapphire aside, smiling and saying something.

Steven, on the side, was engrossed in studying the ore in his hand, as if nothing could distract him.

Suddenly, the air in the gym fluctuated.

"!"

Ruby, Sapphire, Norman, and Steven immediately became alert. After all, Verdant Leaf City had just suffered a major blow not long ago. Now, facing this kind of sudden incident, they couldn't help but be more cautious than usual.

"Swish!" The fluctuation grew more intense, and several figures appeared in the fluctuation, from blurry to clear.

"Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump." Kirlia Ruru, using a wide-area [Teleport] for the first time, didn't control it well, causing all the people and Pokémon to fall to the ground.

Míng Rìzhào yelped a few times, only then realizing that they had teleported not to the Pokémon Center in Yuanqi City, but to the Pokémon Gym in Verdant Leaf City.

The General Captain, who had been swept along in the teleport, stumbled forward a few steps, then took out several Poké Balls from his waist and said viciously, "So what if you teleported? How long can you last under my Pokémon..."

He couldn't quite continue.

Standing before him were, surprisingly, the current Middel Region League Champion—Sapphire, and her ace Pokémon—Blaziken; as well as the top-tier Pokémon trainer with reputedly profound strength—Ruby, and his massive Pokémon—Swampert; not to mention the former Elite Four member—Norman and his Slaking; and the champion before last of Middel—Steven and his Metagross.

The originally arrogant black light in the General Captain's eyes instantly dimmed. He also seemed to have sensed the dangerous atmosphere.

And the few Poké Balls in his hand, tainted by dark power, trembled unceasingly. Although their sanity was unclear under the interference of the dark power, facing the terrifying pressure at present, the Pokémon's instinct made them unwilling to even make a big move.

For the group in Verdant Leaf City, seeing the appearance of Míng Rìzhào and those few Pokémon, and then the clearly not-right General Captain and his subordinate, they didn't even need to think to know which side to help.

And so, they stared coldly at the fierce-looking man.

"Get him!"

Rio, feeling the backing of a group of incomparably solid powerhouses behind him, howled and charged forward.

So you're the bastard who stomped on me so hard just now!

What I, Rio, believe in is: it's not too late to repay a kindness, but to not avenge a wrong makes one a real scumbag!

Míng Rìzhào didn't even look. With a group of top-tier trainers present, there was no way that guy had a chance to turn the tables.

What was more important was Ruru, who had grown up with her since she was little, and had now evolved.

This was her first Pokémon to have evolved!

Míng Rìzhào hugged Kirlia, her hands all over her, her face showing a smile that couldn't be contained.

Ruru was a little helpless being held so tightly by her trainer, but her face still showed a happy smile.

Snivy, on the other hand, watched Rio, who was grunting and getting ready to fight, with a somewhat complex expression.

…

Facts proved that with the assistance of a group of top-tier trainers, it was impossible to fail.

Because Sapphire had other important matters to attend to, and Norman still needed to oversee the overall situation in Verdant Leaf City, Steven took on the task of escorting the two captured individuals to the Pokémon League.

The tables had turned. The two, now bound tightly, had faces swollen like pigs' heads, looking utterly dejected.

No one even noticed that the black light that had been deluding the General Captain had already vanished from his eyes.

"I'll escort these two to the League first."

The man before them was the main culprit of the disaster in Verdant Leaf City and was bound to know a lot of information. Steven didn't delay any longer, immediately mounting his Metagross and leaving Verdant Leaf City.

And Míng Rìzhào's group (and Pokémon), after catching up with the group in Verdant Leaf City for a while, were transferred back to Yuanqi City via Kirlia's [Teleport].

After all, Snivy's trainer, Fengling, was still waiting in Yuanqi City.

…

And so, the matter in Yuanqi City also came to a temporary end

Míng Rìzhào and Rio continued to strive for their dream of becoming champions. They went through many, many things and walked a very, very long road.

So this story should end here. Thank you all for reading. We'll meet again if fate allows.

…

…

…

…

...THE HECK IT IS!!!

Rio directly smashed through the phone screen and kicked the author.

"How come Ruru has evolved, but I still haven't???"

"What's more, you've laid so many plot holes before! How come you're not filling them? Do you want to receive some razor blades???"

Alright, given that he was being threatened by a character from his own novel, the author could only crawl back and continue writing.

So, the story will continue. Please stay tuned!
