Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Battle to the Death
"Team Rocket."
Ace frowned, looking at the familiar uniforms. "It's you lot again."
"Looks like you're quite familiar with Team Rocket."
From the group, a sole woman stepped forward. She had long purple hair and an incredibly beautiful face that would immediately capture the attention of most men.
She appeared to be their leader.
"Is this all of you?"
Ace counted, a total of twelve people. If they fought, unlike last time high in the air, on the ground, Ace's advantage wouldn't be too significant.
"Looks like you're very confident."
The woman clapped her hands, and soon a rather burly fellow emerged, dragging out Shirona (Cynthia), who was tightly bound with thick ropes.
He threw Shirona to the ground, making her let out a pained groan. The leading woman then stepped on Shirona and said to Ace, "If you want her to live, then be a good little boy and..."
But before she could finish her sentence, Lapras appeared in front of Ace, firing an Ice Beam directly at the leading woman.
The sudden attack swallowed her remaining words. She rolled clumsily, narrowly dodging the Ice Beam.
"I think you've got one thing wrong."
Ace tossed the Poké Ball in his hand. "The person you caught has absolutely nothing to do with me. In my opinion, my life is worth more than any of yours, so don't think I'll show any mercy. Attack!"
With that, Lapras launched a Surf, a massive wave ruthlessly rushing towards the Team Rocket members, and including Shirona in its path.
"Roar!"
Facing the giant wave, the Team Rocket members were just about to order their Starmie to block it, but Aerodactyl's roar instantly stunned the Starmie, and they all turned into red light, returning to their Poké Balls.
Without Starmie's obstruction, the giant wave surged directly through, scattering the Team Rocket group.
The leading woman choked on several mouthfuls of water, her chest aching from the impact. With a cough, a trace of bright red blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
But before she could react, a Vine Whip tightly wrapped around her neck. With a fierce yank, she was dragged over.
A violent sensation of suffocation seized her, her eyes rolling back. But the next moment, Golbat's venomous fangs bit into the woman's neck.
As the poison injected, the woman twitched, then lay stiffly on the ground, lifeless.
"First one down."
Weepinbell's Vine Whip loosened. The seamless cooperation of a few Pokémon instantly took out the leader of this group of Team Rocket members.
Ace wouldn't go easy on her just because she was a woman. Standing before him, she was merely an enemy.
Enemies, regardless of gender!
"Damn it! Captain Luna is dead!"
Seeing Ace deftly kill their captain, the remaining members were instantly in a panic.
Their captain's death was a fatal blow to their morale!
But Ace paid no mind to any of that. Since he had made his move, he had to take down every single one of them, otherwise, the trouble would be endless!
"Powder!"
Weepinbell spewed out a large amount of its mixed powders, quickly scattering them towards the Team Rocket members.
"Damn it, disperse them quickly!"
Among the remaining people, two pulled out Poké Balls and instantly sent out their Fearow.
As the Fearow were about to flap their wings, Aerodactyl's roar surged towards them.
However, these two Fearow were clearly well-trained, struggling with sheer willpower to resist Aerodactyl's roar.
After a slight delay, the Fearow flapped their wings, and the wind blew at the powders, but it was already too late.
Although most of it was dispersed, a small amount of powder still landed among the group. Many held their breath as much as possible, but those with insufficient experience accidentally inhaled the powder.
Inhaling Sleep Powder and Stun Spore was still relatively okay, but those who inhaled Poison Powder immediately felt a burning pain in their lungs.
Accompanied by coughing blood, they collapsed and died in less than a minute.
"Only one. Bad luck."
Ace looked at the single casualty, shaking his head with some dissatisfaction.
The powders, blown by the two Fearow, rushed towards Ace. Aerodactyl grabbed Ace's shoulder, instantly took flight, and dodged the powder attack.
Golbat also took flight to dodge. Lapras's Safeguard and Weepinbell's Immunity ability meant these secretions couldn't harm Ace and his Pokémon at all.
"Double Supersonic!"
Aerodactyl and Golbat simultaneously opened their mouths. The invisible Supersonic waves, enhanced by their combined efforts, instantly threw the two Fearow into confusion, making them flap their wings and attack each other.
"Starmie, knock him down!"
Being passively attacked was out of the question. The Team Rocket members threw out their Poké Balls, and several Starmie launched Water Guns, firing at Ace and his Pokémon in the sky.
"Woo!"
Lapras let out a low cry, suddenly widening its mouth, and a bone-chilling coldness gathered.
The Team Rocket members thought it was another Ice Beam, instinctively dodging Lapras's aim.
But this time, it wasn't Ice Beam, but...
"Blizzard!"
As Ace's voice rang out, Lapras spewed a fierce blast of cold air, instantly transforming into a powerful Blizzard, sweeping over the Team Rocket members with a vast area of effect.
The Water Guns aimed at Ace were frozen. The Team Rocket members struggled with all their might to resist the Blizzard. Their already damp clothes quickly froze into ice.
"Wuwuwu..."
Within the Blizzard, Weepinbell's Vine Whip suddenly exerted force, pulling out a small figure: it was the bound Shirona.
First, she was hit by water, then she narrowly avoided dying from the indiscriminate powder attack by holding her breath, and now she was being attacked by a Blizzard.
If Weepinbell hadn't dragged her out, Shirona might truly have died at Ace's hands.
Ace glanced at the rescued Shirona. Without this hindrance, he could finally relax a little.
The Blizzard subsided. The frozen Team Rocket members shakily tried to resist, but suddenly, a cold gleam flashed across their vision!
Golbat's Steel Wing instantly transformed into two sharp blades. The frozen Team Rocket members had no time to react as the Steel Wing sliced across their necks, leaving a deep gash.
After a long while, warm, fresh blood very slowly began to gush from the wound.
Zubat flapped its wings and landed on Ace's arm.
Suddenly, it spread its wings, and a dazzling light burst forth from Zubat's body.
Once the light dissipated, a Golbat stood quietly on Ace's arm, blinking eyes it had never had before, seeing the entire world in a new way.
Zubat, finally, after accumulating power, evolved into Golbat at this moment.
