Pinnacle of the Stars

Chapter 21 21. Fierce Battle!killer in the shadows

Gently put the unconscious Lu Qiu on the ground.

Kaitou Cat Eight, or N in disguise, turned his gaze to Apollo who was looking at everything with great interest.

Seeing N looking at him, he suddenly laughed and clapped his hands, "Not bad show, is this the curtain call performance that belongs to this city?"

"I met you on stage before, it's nice, but..." Seeing that the other party didn't cooperate with him for a long time, the smile on Apollo's face gradually faded, "I don't like this kind of family drama very much."

N shook his head, "I don't have much to do with him."

Apollo: "Does that mean you're very witty?"

"No, what I want to say is" N turned his head and glanced at NO.19 who was still emitting mist beside him. The next moment, the solid ice sculpture was instantly cut into pieces by the shadow, "I will kill you."

"Tsk."

Apollo stroked his blue hair, raised his eyebrows and said, "Try it?"

"Mr. Apollo, be careful!" Team Rocket members who noticed the change in the shadows hurriedly reminded.

next moment.

The platypus raised its hand to block the sharp claws that were attacking Apollo's back from the shadows, and then looked at the Pokémon pressing above it with rather provocative eyes.

"Zoroark, use Dark Blast."

"Duckbill Fire Beast, Flame Fist!"

Without a hit, the two Pokémon collided again.

The billowing black shadow formed a huge wolf head, biting down from the air, devouring the entire body of the duck-billed fire beast in one bite.

"Burning--"

Under the shadows, the duck-billed fire beast that made its hand last showed no signs of weakness.

The right claw swung forward violently, and the flame fist ignited a red gale, and exploded the moment it came into contact with the black shadow wolf's head.

The sparks shattered, and under the thick black mist, Zoroark quietly landed on the unresponsive platypus, with its front paws clasped tightly on both sides of its forehead, and a purple dark ball was about to spit out from its mouth .

"Jump up." N suddenly instructed.

Without hesitation, the moment Zoroark received the order, his legs bowed, he stepped on the shoulder of the duck-billed fire beast and jumped up.

Afterwards, the flame passed over the place where it originally landed and hit the empty space.

"whispering sound."

Seeing his subordinate Hei Lujia miss, Apollo clicked his tongue in displeasure.

midair.

The leaping Zoroark exchanged glances with N in the distance. Under the latter's slight nod, his body suddenly twisted in the air, and between his claws closed, a violently fluctuating shadow ball instantly twisted into shape.

Seeing this scene, Apollo's eyelids twitched wildly, and for the first time there was a landslide in his indifferent expression.

He turned his head and waved to the subordinates who were still gathered behind him and shouted: "Idiot, get out of here!"

A cruel smile formed on the corner of Zoroark's mouth.

"Shadow Ball!"

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Apollo, who had been aware of it in advance, could only step forward, and at the same time let the duck-billed fire beast block the aftermath of the shadow ball's annihilation for him.

"what!!!!!"

There was a scream from behind, but it stopped abruptly in an instant.

It seems that the pain only stays in the moment between the breaths.

Wiping the dust from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, Apollo got up on one knee.

Looking back at the miserable state of his subordinates who were too late to call out the Pokémon, he turned his eyes to N in displeasure and laughed at himself: "So you are the same person as us."

"So-"

Zoroark landed steadily, and glanced coldly at Apollo who was about to rise in front of him.

Seeing this, the duck-billed fire beast stepped forward and stopped its trainer behind.

On the other side, N first pointed at Apollo, then turned his arm to point at the latter's subordinates, and finally shook his head and looked at the fainted Lu Qiu and responded: "Instead of being said to be a human being like you, I am I'd rather hear this guy admit that I'm a fellow traveler with him."

"No, that's exactly what it should be." N turned his head to look at Apollo, and said coldly, "You shouldn't deny me."

Zoroark's figure disappeared out of thin air.

Apollo: "."

'I deny you what? '

From the move just now, he has already seen that he is definitely not the opponent of the person in front of him.

Even if they can fight one or two, they will be defeated by the opponent after a long time.

At this moment, Apollo already regretted not ordering his own people to swarm up just now.

So that it is now in a dilemma.

escape?
Zoroark is definitely faster than himself.

beat?
Without hesitation, Apollo directly gave up the idea.

Looking up at the figure under the cloak, he clenched his teeth unwillingly.

The plan that has been contemplated for a long time, if due to this small accident, there are mistakes in the face of the upcoming success, then even he himself will not forgive himself.

'This is... a gift I want to give to Sakagi-sama! '

Thinking about this, Apollo suddenly shouted hysterically:

"Duckbill Fire Beast, it's bursting with flames!!!"

Facing the moves emitting terrifying heat, N just wanted to give Zoroark an order to kill Apollo, but for no reason, he couldn't stop his eyelids from twitching wildly!

'has a problem. '

Under the full calculation of the computer-like brain, the opponent's skills just surfaced for a moment, and N directly understood the opponent's purpose.

The black shadow flashed past, and Lu Qiu on the ground disappeared instantly.

Immediately afterwards, the words of explosive flames rushed in and shot at the position where he had been lying down before.

The energy after the explosion blew N's cloak.

Under the mask, the pair of dull pupils looked even colder.

"what."

Apollo stood up and smiled triumphantly. At this time, the surviving Team Rocket members also called out their Pokémon to bully them.

"If I can't beat you, can't I kill you?"

N remained silent. He turned his head to look at Zoroark beside him, and Lu Qiu who was thrown down by the latter: "Bring back the Pokémon, and I can let you go."

"What are you kidding?"

Apollo pretended to be shocked and said, "I am the one who is in the upper hand now!"

As soon as the words fell, two Heluga came out from behind him, still biting the ready-to-go flames in their mouths.

The platypus also stood up to the front.

For this operation, Apollo mobilized all the elite members, in addition to his direct subordinates, there were also capable officers temporarily lent to him by his "friends".

Let me ask, how did he lose when he was prepared?
Seeing the other party's confident attitude, N did not argue with him, but called out his second Pokémon.

No one has stipulated that trainers outside the duel field can only call out one Pokémon to fight at a time.

What's more, the opponent is almost dozens to one now.

The ice mist and the black shadow merged and merged, and snowflakes fell, accompanied by a terrifying white figure floating on the ground walking out of the poke ball.

There are plaque-shaped gemstones embedded on the arms, and a mask with the same pattern on N's face seems to be worn on the head. His hands are folded in front of his body and hang down, making his movements look extraordinarily light.

As soon as it appeared, it immediately formed an ice wall to block the flames flying towards this place. Under the white mist brought by the cold, Zoroark disappeared behind the former again.

The snow demon girl has a cute appearance and a humanoid appearance. Under her friendly appearance, there is a particularly cruel temperament hidden.

In this regard, the one under N is even worse.

Legend has it that the Snow Fairies will appear when a blizzard comes, and freeze unsuspecting humans or Pokémon into ice cubes. After the vital signs have completely dissipated, they will bring them back to their caves for decoration Taste.

If you happen to see a creature frozen to death in the ice in a snow mountain or other place, there is no doubt that it has a high probability that it is a 'collection' thrown away by the snow fairies after losing interest in it.

"What are you kidding?"

The corners of Apollo's mouth twitched subconsciously when he saw the Snow Fairy, his confidence disappeared, and a few drops of cold sweat could not help but surface on his forehead.

Faintly, he heard the sound of falling behind him.

He strengthened his composure in his heart, and without hesitation, he directly shouted an order: "Everyone retreat, disperse and run, and those who are still alive, meet at the place scheduled in the plan!"

'Damn dammit dammit! '

'Give me a few survived, even if only bring back one. '

"For, Sakagi-sama!"

Throwing two elf balls from his hand in a row, seeing his subordinates fleeing in all directions following orders without hesitation, Apollo called back the platypus that was fighting with Zoroark, and said with a forced smile : "After all, my plan has succeeded, and you can't stop it."

Swish!
The sound of breaking through the air blocked his follow-up words.

Looking at the paw stopped by the platypus fire beast a few centimeters in front of him, Apollo groaned and laughed triumphantly again: "Next time we meet, I will definitely kill you!"

N nodded slightly, "My name is Maoba, but there is no next time for you."

After speaking, his heart suddenly moved.

From the corner of the eye, I caught a glimpse of the fierce thunder that was gathering momentum before the two elf balls were released, illuminating the entire night.

Seeing this, N subconsciously rushed to rescue him.

Just as the front foot stepped out, the Snow Fairy grabbed his trousers, and at the same time, Zoroark, who flashed back, picked up the two of them, as well as Lu Qiu who was on the ground, and dragged them away.

The next moment, the Pokémon in the poke ball jumped out and exploded.

boom!
It sounded like an earthquake.

In the smoke and dust of thunder and sparks, the land was plowed up and turned over several times. Under the layers of air waves, two ball-shaped Pokémon were shattered into pieces by their own moves.

"cough"

Enduring the humming under both ears, while coughing lightly, N pushed away the two paws of the snow demon girl covering her ears:

"Thank you, I'm fine."

Looking up again, through Zoroark's hair swollen by the hot wind, N can no longer see Apollo and the members of the Rockets except for the completely changed terrain.

Zoroark gave N a questioning look.

"It's too late, leave the rest to the Iron Ninja." Faced with his friend's attitude of wanting to kill them all, N shook his head and looked in the direction of the city, "Although I really don't want to say that, but the fire they set inside It's gone."

"Let's go, don't leave trouble here."

After speaking, N sighed softly, turned around and put Lu Qiu's arm on his shoulder.

The body paused slightly.

Before that, he raised his hand to take off the mask, and with the help of the Snow Fairy, he took off his cloak, and threw them together on the broken ice on the ground.

"It's really going to cause trouble."

The familiar peaked cap was put back on his head again, and at the same time, the loose green hair was tied up again with the drawstring around his wrist.

Looking at the night sky with the bright moon hanging, N said to himself meaningfully.
