Pokémon cross over into the real world

Chapter 558 Li Yaoyao’s Trial (2)

Li Yaoyao's voice echoed through the woods, but no one responded, only the gentle breeze rustling the leaves. She glanced around, still no movement, suggesting her opponent was cautious, a seasoned ambush master. Li Yaoyao also held her composure, resisting any rash moves. She was out to test her opponent's patience.

At that moment, the demonic fire red fox's sensitive ears twitched. It quickly turned around and sent out a powerful spiritual thought. A pink ball of light passed over Li Yaoyao's face, and a gust of wind lifted her ponytail. Li Yaoyao turned around and saw a golden lightning ball collide with the pink spiritual thought with a loud "boom", and the energy ricocheted away, blowing a strong wind.

Seeing the opportunity, Garagara swung his bone club, spinning and launching it, unlike Wukong's throwing technique. The club, hurled in a graceful arc, struck a nearby tree, snapping the trunk. The club rebounded, spinning and returning to Garagara's grasp. As the tree collapsed, a red figure leaped from behind it. Li Yaoyao saw it clearly: it was the same steel-clawed mantis she had seen before.

Seeing his ambush and sneak attack exposed, Adams abandoned his hiding and emerged from another large tree. A Scyther lifted him off the ground, landing him safely on the ground. Behind him stood three Pokémon: a Scyther, a Scyther, and a bug-like Pokémon Li Yaoyao had never seen before. It resembled a stag beetle. It was a seventh-generation Shovelbug.

While Earth's native stag beetles were only the size of a thumb, this Pokémon was the size of a three-year-old child. Its head had two large mandibles, each with four serrations. Electric arcs danced between the serrations, clearly indicating an electric-type Pokémon. Li Yaoyao hated Bug-type Pokémon the most. She already hated Earth's bugs, and the fact that Bug-type Pokémon were all giant bugs made her even more disgusted.

The three giant bugs exuded a fierce aura, clearly well-trained combat partners. Adams grinned, "The girl is quite clever, but unfortunately, she's still a little naive. I'll take these pomelo fruits; it'll save me some money."

"Hmph, you want to steal my things? You dare!" Li Yaoyao was not afraid at all. After all, she had seen a lot of things. If she had not followed Wang Qiyi and Jia Wencheng to the Nanyue Kingdom and the Eagle Kingdom's Silver Mountain Secret Realm, she might really be scared now.

Adams's Steel Claw Mantis launched the first attack. With a flap of its wings, it transformed into a streak of red light, aiming for the pomelo fruit. Gara Gara calculated its position and launched a bone boomerang. The Steel Claw Mantis, regardless of the consequences, rushed directly to the pomelo fruit, clamping its claws around the box. Just as the bone boomerang was about to strike, a green figure flashed out, slashing with two scythes in a cross, the advanced insect-type skill—Cross Slash.

It was the Scyther that arrived first to block the attack for the Claw Mantis. The two brothers cooperated very well and usually fought together. The combined strength of the two mantises produced an effect where the sum of one was greater than the other.

A sharp metallic clash echoed. The bone club in Garagara's hand was light, and Scyther was confident it could block the attack. But it had forgotten how the bone club had just broken the tree, a tree two men could hug. This bone club was a Level 100 resource, a weapon with the power of a guardian god, its hardness comparable to titanium alloy. In Garagara's hands, it could unleash its full potential.

The moment Scythe's scythe made contact with the bone club, it finally remembered the broken tree. It simply lacked the tree's mass, and was sent flying. The bone club rebounded and spun back into Gala Gala's grasp. Scythe, looking back, had crashed into the tree and collapsed, severely injured.

Adams frowned, outwardly calm, but a sense of fear was building within him. He hadn't anticipated the bone boomerang's power; he'd underestimated his opponent's attack. However, the steel-clawed mantis had succeeded, ready to pick up the pomelo fruit and leave.

The demon fire red fox sprayed flames at it. The steel claw mantis insect and steel types were four times weaker than fire. It quickly raised the pomelo fruit to protect itself. Li Yaoyao hurriedly shouted: "Don't burn the pomelo fruit!"

The demonic fire fox forcibly retracted its flames. Mantis, seizing the opportunity to flee, suddenly felt its body stiffen, seized by the demonic fire fox's telekinesis. Blaziken swiftly accelerated towards Mantis, then with a sliding tackle and a sweeping kick, knocked it to the ground. At the same time, it quickly retreated towards Li Yaoyao, clutching the box of pomelo fruit.

"You come on too!" Adams shouted at the Shovel Cannon Bug. The Shovel Cannon Bug raised its mandibles and a golden arc of electricity came out from the center. An electromagnetic cannon was fired from its head. Galagala threw out a bone stick. The rotating bone stick collided with the electromagnetic cannon and exploded with a "boom". The bone stick bounced back into Galagala's hand again. The crisis of Flammulina was resolved and it successfully returned to Li Yaoyao.

"This bone club is definitely something special!" Adams saw the clue. He could judge the potential level of a Pokémon based on the energy released by their attacks. The girl's Garagara was definitely not that high, at most, a beginner Grandmaster. However, his own Shoveltorn was a high-level Grandmaster, yet its Electric Super-class skill, the Electromagnetic Cannon, was blocked by the opponent's Bone Boomerang.

Normally, the Bone Rod and the Blaziken would have been blown away together. However, the electromagnetic cannon was completely neutralized, and the Bone Rod returned to Garagara unscathed. The only explanation was that it was a high-end product. Adam was immediately greedy. He wanted not only the three boxes of pomelo fruit, but also the Bone Rod in Garagara's hand.

A glint of greed flashed in Adams's eyes. He winked at the Steel Claw Mantis and barked out commands. This time, he stopped speaking English and began speaking his native dialect. Li Yaoyao couldn't tell where he was from. The Steel Claw Mantis attacked again, its claws gleaming coldly. It was the mid-level Steel-type skill—Metal Claw.

Its target was Li Yaoyao herself. Gara Gara immediately raised its bone club and pounced on the Claw Mantis, engaging it in a fight. Blaziken, dropping the pomelo fruit, leaped in front of Li Yaoyao to protect her. Li Yaoyao finally understood the rules of Dragon Kingdom gym battles. Right now, she and Adams were like the third three-on-three match in a gym tournament; whoever attacked the trainer was the winner.

Of course, reality is different from competition. In competition, if your Pokémon destroys the opponent's trainer's crystal, you win and the battle ends. But in real life, if you don't defeat the opponent's Pokémon, but only defeat their trainer, their Pokémon may go berserk and attack you crazily.

Gara Gara grappled with the Steel Claw Mantis, twirling the bone club nimbly in his hands, green flames spreading along it. Every swing sent a whistling sound as he steadily withstood the Steel Claw Mantis's attacks. The two exchanged blows, the sound of metal clashing incessantly, sparks flying through the forest.

The Shovel Cannon Bug took the opportunity to retreat a few steps, the arcs of electricity on its mandibles becoming increasingly intense, clearly gathering energy. It suddenly raised its head, unleashing an even more powerful "electromagnetic cannon" than before, aimed directly at Gala Gala. The Demonic Fire Red Fox took a step forward, unleashing a powerful mental charge that collided with the electromagnetic cannon, and both exploded in mid-air.

The shovel cannon bug's thin wings vibrated and made a buzzing sound. The electromagnetic cannon on its head fired again, one shot after another. The demon fire red fox also opened fire at full power. The two turret-type elves on both sides began a long-range bombardment. It depends on who can't bear the consumption first.

"Crackling, Shadow Bone Stick!" Li Yaoyao shouted loudly.

Green fire surged in Galagala's eyes, and the bone club was instantly enveloped in a dense shadowy energy, like a roaring dark dragon. The Steel Mantis was already at a disadvantage after battling Galagala's fire attributes for several rounds. Now, faced with yet another change of tactics, it was suddenly in a state of panic.

Adams' face turned pale. He hadn't expected this seemingly ordinary girl to possess such strength. But he remained steadfast, his gaze on the bone club growing increasingly intense. "Don't think you can win just like that! Steel Mantis, power up your Sword Dance! Shovel Cannon Bug, trap it with your Sticky Net!"
