Chapter 196 Big Needle Bee
Chapter 196 Big Needle Bee
"Crazy Plant" truly lives up to its reputation as one of the starter Pokémon's signature moves, on par with "Explosive Flame" and "Water Cannon"—its power is indeed terrifying.
Especially when released in a cave, it leaves no room for anyone to dodge.
"Nedo!"
Nidoran clasped his hands together, and a "Ki Blast" appeared in his hands. He shot it towards the "Mad Plant" like a Kamehameha.
However, the "True Energy Bomb," which would normally be enough to collapse a reinforced concrete wall, only managed to create a deep crater in the "Crazy Plant," failing to completely eliminate it.
The "Crazy Plant" surged with immense energy and hurtled towards Sakaki.
If this blow lands, Sachi can immediately write an epitaph for her boss.
However, just as the "mad plant" was about to strike, Nidoking's sturdy body blocked Giovanni's path.
Its purple horns pierced heavily towards the massive rootstock.
"Super Corner Strike!"
However, like the "True Energy Bullet," the "Super Horn Strike" only left a dent in the giant plant before being slammed into its body and sent flying.
"Nedo!"
However, thanks to King Nido, the "crazy plants" offensive finally stopped.
"Buzzing~"
Just as Lu An was about to press his advantage, a sudden sense of fear welled up inside him.
That is the instinctive fear that humans experience when facing a life-or-death crisis.
His life is in danger!
The thought had barely crossed Lu An's mind when he followed his heart and tilted his head slightly.
Then, before even the magical masked cat beside Lu An could react, a huge, gleaming poison needle pierced through the spot where Lu An's head had been.
If Lu An had hesitated for even a second, his head would have been pierced through by that poisonous needle, which was as thick as a person's forearm.
However, even though he dodged the fatal stab, his neck was still grazed by the sharp poison needle, spurting out blood.
"Meow!"
The magical masked cat was both surprised and furious.
It has always considered itself the leader, not only because it joined the team early, but also because it is confident that it can easily defeat all six Pokémon currently in Lu An's team, except for Volcarona.
Even Nidoking of the Earth's Giovanni was no match for it when it attacked with all its might.
However, right under its nose, before it could react, its trainer was fatally ambushed!
If the trainer hadn't reacted quickly, the enemy would have successfully ambushed them!
"Meow!"
??beneficial?)?
Magic Masked Cat looked toward the owner of the poison needle and saw a giant Beedrill, over a meter long, waving its two sharp needles and flying leisurely back to Sakaki's side.
"Buzz buzz buzz~"
The bee's wings vibrated at an extremely high frequency, keeping it firmly locked in the air.
Magic Masked Cat has never heard any sound so annoying.
Just as the magical masked cat was about to pounce, Lu An stopped it:
"Wait, you little thief cat!"
Following Lu An's gaze, Magic Masked Cat suddenly remembered that the fallen Nidoking had scattered "poison shards" around them.
If it had been enraged, it would have stomped on the "poison shards".
Lu An clutched his neck, trying to reduce the bleeding, while glancing at the Beedrill next to Sakaki with lingering fear.
"Buzzing~"
Although Beedrill didn't say a word, Lu An could see disdain, arrogance, and confidence in its eyes.
Of course, it has the right to be confident.
Because it was Giovanni's starter Pokémon.
It is also Giovanni's trump card.
In the original work, it had a glorious record of forcing Red to confess, capturing and killing Awakening, and exhausting Deoxys.
When it becomes an assassin lurking in the shadows, it is the most terrifying presence.
Just like this sneak attack.
If it weren't for Lu An's subconscious reaction, he would already be another soul killed by the giant bee's sting.
"As expected, even with my Beedrill, it's still not very realistic to kill you this way."
Sakaki sighed.
With that, Sakaki snapped his fingers.
"Whoa~"
"Pfft~"
Zapdos and Articuno, which were originally fighting Corviknight and Volcarona, slowly descended.
Even when Lu An was injured, Sachi stood behind Sakaki.
"Lu An, let's end this battle here. We'll meet again in the future."
Is that all?
Has Sakaki changed his gender?
Lu An was somewhat surprised.
Sakaki isn't the type to give up halfway. What is he planning to do?
“Ne-do…”
Nidoking, who had been flung away by the Magic Masked Cat, returned to Giovanni's side.
Although its massive body was covered in wounds, and even the poisonous horn on its head was broken, it had already risen from the attack of the "mad plant".
Giovanni slowly walked onto Zapdos's back, while Sachi stood on Articuno's back.
As if understanding Lu An's astonished gaze, Sakaki said meaningfully:
"If you can still walk out of Silver Mountain alive..."
With that, the two sacred birds flapped their wings and flew out from the top of the Flamebird Cave.
What if I can still walk out of Baiyin Mountain alive?
What exactly did Sakaki mean by that?
What kind of switch is that button in his hand?
Lu An didn't think for long; he had already wasted enough time in the cave.
I wonder if Bai Ling and the others have returned, or if they are still chasing the Firebird.
Lu An turned and ran out of the cave.
Just as he reached the cave entrance...
"Lu An!"
The desperate shout startled Lu An.
Why are you calling my name!
Upon exiting the cave, Lu An immediately spotted Lorelei shouting, Brock collapsed, and a dense swarm of Pokémon surrounding them, numbering at least forty or fifty.
Lu An shuddered again:
"Lorelei, did you raid someone's nest or their eggs? Why are there so many Pokémon here?!"
Lorelei, who was struggling to keep up with the White Sea Lion and Jynx, was immediately enraged upon seeing Lu An:
"Lu An, what are you dawdling about! Can't you see we're about to mail it?"
After being scolded by Kona, Lu An shrank back:
"The little thieving cat, ever-changing flowers"! "
"Swamp Monster, 'Water Cannon'!"
"Light cloth, 'Strong mental focus'!"
The three Pokémon worked together to clear a large area around Lorelei, allowing Lu An to reunite with Lorelei and the others.
"What's going on? Why are there so many Pokémon gathered here?"
Kona took a break from her busy schedule to reply:
"I don't know either. Professor Allen was a woman named Sachi in disguise. After she was exposed, Gnome suddenly evolved and yelled at us. Then the other Pokémon rushed up and attacked us like crazy."
Upon hearing this, Lu An's expression changed:
"Could this be the Rockets' doing?"
"Mutant pheromones, their function is to make Pokémon go berserk?"
