"call--"

Ruan Yaoyao slowly retracted the pink fist she had swung out, her slender arm trembling slightly, as the residual force from overexerting herself had not yet dissipated.

In order to control her strength, she tried her best. Fine beads of sweat on her forehead sparkled in the moonlight. A few strands of hair were soaked with sweat and stuck to her slightly pale cheek.

When her eyes fell upon Lin Yi's miserable appearance, Ruan Yaoyao felt her heart suddenly shrink, a sharp pain came over her, and her heart and eyes were filled with heartache.

Her eyes slowly swept over Lin Yi's petrified body, as if she wanted to remember every scar on him.

And when she found out that Hunter Z actually wanted to kill Lin Yi, she almost instinctively rushed over to blow Hunter Z's head off.

However, reason eventually overcame impulse, and she restrained herself at the last moment.

Ruan Yaoyao took a deep breath, trying to calm the surging emotions in her heart, but her slightly trembling body still exposed her excitement.

"Lin Yi, are you okay... No, it seems like something's wrong."

Ruan Yaoyao walked quickly to Lin Yi's side and slowly squatted down. Her voice trembled a little and her eyes quickly turned red. Big tears rolled in her eyes, as if they would burst out in the next second.

"Don't cry, he's not dead."

Lin Yi tried hard to force a smile, trying to comfort the girl in front of him who was worried about him.

He looked at Ruan Yaoyao's distressed expression, and felt warm in his heart, yet a little helpless.

"If something happens to you and I'm left behind, what should I do..."

Ruan Yaoyao could no longer suppress her inner sadness. Her voice choked and tears welled up in her eyes, sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the grass.

At this moment, a meerkat seized the opportunity and pounced towards her with its fangs and claws bared.

Ruan Yaoyao didn't even raise her head, she instinctively raised her arm and threw a punch.

"Boom!"

"Meow--"

With a dull thud, the mongoose that attempted a sneak attack let out a shrill scream, and its body flew into the night sky like a cannonball.

It flew higher and higher, and finally turned into a small black dot and disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

The other meerkats were so frightened by this scene that their fur stood on end. Their original arrogance disappeared completely. They trembled all over and looked at Ruan Yaoyao, who was crying, in horror, as if they had seen some terrible monster.

In their eyes, Ruan Yaoyao at this moment is no longer the delicate girl, but a terrifying existence that may explode at any time.

Lin Yi looked at the extremely contrasting scene in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"You're crying and hitting people away at the same time. You're worthy of being me, Yaoyao."

"You're still talking nonsense even at this time."

When Ruan Yaoyao heard Lin Yi's words, she burst into laughter and gave him a reproachful look.

But before her smile could fully bloom, her gaze fell back on Lin Yi's petrified body, her eyes full of heartache and worry.

She slowly stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Lin Yi and feel his warmth, but her hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.

She was afraid that if she was not careful, she would break Lin Yi's petrified body. The hand hanging in the air was trembling slightly, revealing her inner tension and anxiety.

"How can I get you back to normal?"

Ruan Yaoyao's voice contained a hint of helplessness, and her eyes were fixed on Lin Yi.

"I don't know, you'll have to ask him."

Lin Yi raised his head slightly and looked at Hunter Z who was embedded in the tree, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Ruan Yaoyao bit her lip, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.

She slowly stood up and walked to Hunter Z. Ruan Yaoyao reached out and carefully took Manaphy back from his hand.

Then, Ruan Yaoyao's eyes turned cold in an instant. She raised her hand and slapped Hunter Z hard in the face.

A crisp "slap" sound echoed in the silent forest. Hunter Z's head was tilted to one side by the slap, and his eyes that were originally closed suddenly opened.

Hunter Z stared with a pair of confused eyes, his eyes were full of bewilderment and confusion.

His mind went blank, and he muttered to himself:

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"

"Tell me! How do we get rid of this petrification?"

Ruan Yaoyao stared down at Hunter Z, her voice icy cold as if wrapped in frost, and her eyes looked as if she wanted to eat Hunter Z alive.

At this moment, she was filled with anxiety and just wanted to restore Lin Yi to his original state as soon as possible, and would not allow Hunter Z to delay at all.

"what?"

"Snapped!"

Before Hunter Z could fully recover from his shock, he was slapped hard in the face again.

The slap was so powerful that it made his head buzz and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"Fuck! Why is this woman so strong?"

Hunter Z cursed inwardly, his face full of anger and unwillingness.

He glanced at Manaphy being held tightly in Ruan Yaoyao's hand, and a trace of greed and unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

He shouted at the cowering Mongoose Slashers who dared not step forward:

"What are you still looking at? Come and kill her!"

As long as we can take Manaphy back, there is still a chance to turn the tables.

The Mongoose Slashers looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard Hunter Z's order.

Their eyes were filled with hesitation and fear. They were frightened by the girl in front of them who was shedding tears but could easily knock her companions away.

Just as the meerkats were hesitating and slowly moving forward, a violent air flow fluctuation suddenly came from the sky.

"咚咚-"

Two huge figures landed as fast as meteors. They were Gyarados and Pteranodon.

Their bodies gleamed coldly in the moonlight, bringing up a strong gust of wind that rustled the surrounding trees.

Pokémon jumped off the backs of Gyarados and Pteranodon like raindrops, roaring and launching a fierce attack on the Meerkat Slashers.

Ruan Yaoyao's Pokémon were not to be outdone and quickly joined the battle, fighting side by side with Lin Yi's Pokémon.

Zeraora's body was flashing with lightning, and he was like a black lightning that shuttled across the battlefield; the Evil King opened his bloody mouth and let out a deafening roar, and every attack carried a breath of destruction.

In this battle with a huge disparity in strength, the Mongoose Slashers were no match at all.

They were beaten back by the powerful offensive of the Pokémons. After a while, they were covered with wounds and fell to the ground one after another, losing their ability to fight.

"That's it?"

Lin Yi looked at the defeated Mongoose Slash and the embarrassed Hunter Z on the ground, with a mocking arc on the corner of his mouth. His voice was clear but full of mockery, and it went straight into Hunter Z's ears, like a sharp needle, which made him feel annoyed.

Hunter Z's face instantly turned red, and he shouted angrily and anxiously:

"If my original Pokémon hadn't been taken away by Hunter J..."

Before he could finish his harsh words, a figure flashed by quickly and Ruan Yaoyao grabbed him by the collar.

Her hands were so strong that her nails were almost embedded in the fabric. She completely ignored Hunter Z's screams of pain, and exerted force with her arms to pull him out of the tree. Her movements were quick and decisive, without any delay.

Ruan Yaoyao pulled Hunter Z and directly ripped off the petrification device on his wrist with her other hand, and asked with a scorching gaze:

"How to use this thing?"

"Ha! It's impossible for a stone statue to turn back..."

Hunter Z sneered, trying to hide his inner panic and put on a nonchalant look on his face.

"Don't listen to his farts."

Lin Yi interrupted him mercilessly, saying firmly, "You are a hunter. If you can't change back, how can you sell it? Sell it as a sculpture?"

Hunter Z's face turned pale and red, and he was silent for a long time, as if he was having a fierce ideological struggle.

Finally, he seemed to have completely compromised, sighed helplessly, and his voice was full of reluctance: "I understand, let me down."

Ruan Yaoyao frowned, a hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes, but she still threw him to the ground.

"Give me the petrification device and I'll change him back."

Hunter Z said as he rubbed his painful neck.

Ruan Yaoyao hesitated, struggled internally for a moment, and finally did as she was told.

She handed over the petrification device carefully, her eyes closely watching Hunter Z's every move.

When Lin Yi saw this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had noticed something.

He winked at Zeraora inconspicuously, and Zeraora understood what he meant. It walked as lightly as a cat... Oh, it was a cat. It quietly walked behind Hunter Z and disappeared into the darkness. The electricity around it flickered slightly, as if it was ready to go.
