A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

Several bullets flashing with cold light shot towards the laughing Rotom in front of Qi Shu like meteors.

At this critical moment, Qishu, an experienced gym trainer, relied on the keen intuition cultivated by fighting alongside Pokémon and shouted the order to Rotom without hesitation: "Hold!"

Rotom was still giggling, but it followed the instructions without hesitation.

Almost instantly, a transparent gray light burst out from its body and gathered into a solid light shield at an astonishing speed, tightly enveloping Rotom and the strange tree.

Hold, as a General-type transformation skill, allows the user to enter the Hold state in the same turn after casting this skill, thereby effectively resisting attacks from most of the moves of other Pokémon.

The bullets that came at high speed hit the light shield, but surprisingly, they did not cause the impact as people imagined.

On the contrary, these bullets were like hitting an indestructible wall. After only splashing a few faint sparks, they bounced aside powerlessly without causing any substantial damage to the light shield.

At the same time, the little leader who pulled the trigger and fired saw that the situation was not good and became afraid.

He originally planned to escape quickly into the dense jungle with Xia Yong to protect himself, but when he looked around, he was horrified to find that Xia Yong had disappeared without a trace at some point.

At this moment, he could only watch helplessly as a vague human figure lay on the broad back of a vulture and galloped away into the distance.

It turned out that just when the little leader resolutely pulled the trigger, Xia Yong reacted incredibly quickly. He quickly looked up at Vulture Na circling in the sky and ordered without hesitation: "Vulture Na, come and help me!"

The well-trained vulture swooped down like a bolt of lightning. Xia Yong, agile and nimble, leaped onto her broad back. Then, with a flap of her wings, she soared high, carrying Xia Yong away from the scene with the speed of an old man waking up early to grab eggs.

The little boss was so angry that he slapped his thigh. Xia Yong had actually abandoned him without any scruples before leaving!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the little leader was horrified and turned around and ran away. He had only one goal - to run to the depths of the island in the middle of the lake as soon as possible to seek help and shelter from the captain.

Qi Shu, who was standing not far away and witnessing all this, narrowed her eyes slightly, calmly observing the little boss's every move, and then decisively gave the order: "Rotom, scare!"

Upon receiving the command, Rotom instantly transformed into a streak of light and silently slipped underground. Like a ghost, it scurried along the path the mini-boss had taken in his hasty escape.

In the blink of an eye, they were right below the little boss. Suddenly, a spooky ghost hand emerged from the ground and tightly grasped the little boss's ankle.

This sudden change caught the little leader off guard, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground. At this moment, his face turned pale and he was terrified, as if his soul was about to be scared out of his body.

Fright, a ghost-type physical skill with a power of 30, suddenly surprises the opponent with a scream, a blow from behind, or other attacks. There is a 30% chance that the opponent will flinch and be unable to move.

Rotom's ghostly hand clamped the little boss's ankle tightly, preventing him from moving.

At this moment, the last bit of hope in the little leader's heart was completely shattered, replaced by deep despair and helplessness.

Zou Yi rode a Tropical Dragon and slowly approached. He stared at the small leader and said sternly, "Foreign bandits came to China to steal Pokémon, secretly stored firearms, and attempted to kill Chinese gym trainers. Do you admit to these crimes?"

The little boss suddenly calmed down and did not refute, but there was a hint of gloom in his eyes and he said: "Tsk, it's my bad luck, I accept it. The Pokémon is innocent, Jigglypuff can still be saved, you guys save it. This is its Poké Ball." After that, the little boss took out a Poké Ball from his arms and looked at Zou Yi.

Zou Yi remained silent, his face as calm as water, and only nodded slightly to show his approval of his final request. However, all this was just a pretense.

When Zou Yi nodded, the little leader threw the Poké Ball in his hand towards Zou Yi without hesitation. Just as Zou Yi was about to reach out to catch the Poké Ball, the little leader suddenly changed his mind and revealed his ferocious true face.

He quickly took out the deadly weapon he had just used to shoot Qi Shu from his pocket, and raised it steadily, pointing the black muzzle straight at Zou Yi, as if he was determined to fight to the death with the other party.

Qi Shu, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this. He was extremely anxious and wanted to command Rotom beside him to resolve the crisis.

And what about Zou Yi?

In fact, from beginning to end, his eyes never left the small boss. He was well aware of the extreme actions that such a vicious and desperate person might take.

Not only that, even the tropical dragon beside Zou Yi was always keeping a close eye on this group of notorious habitual criminals, not daring to let his guard down for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, before the leader could pull the trigger, the tropical dragon had already spread its broad and powerful wings, and flapped them violently, and several emerald green leaves shot out like arrows.

The blades spun rapidly in the air, bringing with them a sharp gust of wind, whistling straight towards the little leader.

This is Leaf Blade, a Grass-type physical skill with 55 damage. It launches leaves that slice through the opponent, easily hitting vital points.

Only a few muffled "puff puff" sounds were heard, followed by blood splattering everywhere.

The little leader opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief and unwillingness, but no amount of regret could help at this moment. As his life slipped away, he could only collapse to the ground and die.

Qi Shu trotted over, smelled the strong smell of blood, wrinkled his nose, and asked: "Zou Tianwang, what should we do next? Enter the core area or chase Xia Yong?"

Although Qishu doesn't like watching these bloody scenes, she doesn't reject them. After all, she is also a gym trainer of the alliance. She often accepts tasks from the alliance to maintain local security and peace. She also often deals with these thieves. Countless criminals have died at her hands.

Zou Yi thought for a moment and said, "Don't pursue these desperate criminals for now. I have already sent a request for help to the alliance, and someone should be coming to support us soon."
