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

"Whether you choose to commit suicide or I, the old man, will personally send you on your way."

Upon hearing Old Master Guo's chilling and uncompromising ultimatum, Kameda and Park Chang's faces instantly turned ashen.

The two exchanged a quick glance, both seeing immense fear and deep apprehension towards Guo Jian'an's past infamous reputation as the "Sea Overlord."

"We surrender!" Kameda shouted, his voice trembling with fear.

“According to international practice, champion-level trainers who surrender have the right to demand prisoner-of-war treatment! Our country can use resources to redeem ourselves!” Park Chang nodded vigorously beside him, his previous arrogance completely gone.

This is because champions from different countries obtain some of their country's secrets, and if this intelligence is discovered, it would be a huge blow to the country.

This led to an unwritten rule among many countries that if a high-ranking general of another country was captured, that country would have to pay a huge price to ransom him.

Moreover, the benefits of capturing high-ranking enemy generals are enough to cultivate a new champion, and sometimes the gains far outweigh those of killing them.

However, Old Master Guo's gaze fell on the body of Yu Xingken, who had been gently placed aside by Zhang Heng, his body riddled with strange tree branches, and his death gruesome.

That young and resolute face was now lifeless, as if silently accusing the enemy of cruelty.

An indescribable sense of sorrow and violent rage instantly overwhelmed the old man's consideration of international norms.

"Surrender? Resources?" The old man sneered inwardly. Compared to these empty words, only the blood of the enemy could appease the spirits of the good sons of China!

"Moreover, my body... I don't know when it will fall into chaos again, so I absolutely cannot leave this great danger behind!"

But the old man was a veteran of countless battles and knew the principle that even a cornered beast will fight.

He remained expressionless, even deliberately easing his tense expression slightly. His voice was still cold, but it carried a seemingly reasonable "formulaic" quality.

"Hmph, since you know what's good for you... fine. Put all your Pokémon back into their Poké Balls and throw them over here."

This is the first step in the standard procedure for accepting surrender. The next step is to lock the Poké Ball with a special electromagnetic lock and inject a high concentration of anesthetic gas to ensure that the Pokémon inside cannot break free on its own.

Even champion-level Pokémon require a significant amount of time and effort to obtain.

Upon hearing this, Kameda and Park Chang's faces immediately showed expressions of extreme struggle and hesitation.

Handing over the Poké Balls is tantamount to surrendering all their power and life! They know all too well how China treats its prisoners.

In the instant they hesitated, Old Master Guo's seemingly cloudy but actually sharp gaze swept over Zhang Heng beside him in a very subtle and quick glance.

Zhang Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly understood!

The old man had no intention of surrendering! This was a signal to take action!

The ripples beside him immediately sensed the trainer's fighting spirit, and water vapor and dragon might began to rise silently around him.

"It seems you're not entirely willing either."

Grandpa Guo seemed to have lost his patience, his voice suddenly turning stern, "Then don't blame this old man for breaking the rules! Dragon King - Storm!"

The moment the old man finished uttering the word "了", the Thorn Dragon King was already poised to strike!

"Mmm-hmm!!!"

A piercing scream that seemed to tear the soul apart erupted from the mouth of the King Thorn Dragon! Its crown and outstretched dorsal fins burst forth with dazzling light, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth!

At this moment, a torrential rain is falling from the sky, caused by its previous [Surfing]! With the added benefit of the rain, the [Storm] skill, which originally had a less than 100% hit rate, has become a terrifying force that guarantees a hit!

In an instant, a destructive, terrifying storm, composed of countless compressed air blades and chaotic air currents, erupted.

Like a giant millstone, it instantly appeared in front of Kingdra, accompanied by a howling sound, and crushed towards the five Champion-level Pokémon opposite!

The storm was so vast that it encompassed them all!

Although this Flying-type move is not very effective against Aegislash and Skarmory, its primary target is the two most troublesome Grass-type Pokémon—Mega Venusaur and Woodpecker!

"Defend quickly!" Kameda and Park Chang shouted hastily, their souls trembling.

"Mega Venusaur! Crazy Plants Counterattack!"

"Wood Spirit! Light Wall! Prepare the mallet!"

"Aegislash! Wide-Area Defense!"

"Armored Bird! Steel Wings cut through the wind pressure!"

The commands were jumbled but urgent. The Aegislash's Wide-Area Defense Light Wall was the first to light up, attempting to weaken the storm's power.

The two armored birds screeched as they raised their defenses and vigorously swung their steel wings to slash at the wind blades.

Mega Bulbasaur's Grass-type energy surged rapidly, causing countless vines to burst forth from the earth, like giant green pythons swimming against the current, crashing headlong into the storm!

The Wood Spirit frantically channeled its Psychic-type energy, constructing a light screen in front of itself and Mega Venusaur to weaken the power of special attack moves, and then also accumulating Grass-type energy.

"Boom!"

"Chucky!"

The storm, carrying rain, clashed violently with various defensive and counter-attack skills! Broken grass, severed vines, and fragments of shattered light walls flew everywhere!

The power of a Master-level Pokémon ultimately overwhelmed everything! Wide Guard shattered after only two seconds! The hurricane slammed into Mega Venusaur and Woodpecker!

Outstanding effect!

"Wow!!!"

"crunch!!!"

Mega Venusaur and Trevor were both screaming in pain as countless tiny wounds were cut into their bodies. They were pushed back by the terrifying impact, and their auras instantly weakened.

"Now! Ripple! Flame Throw! Target the armored bird on the left!"

Zhang Heng seized the opportunity and immediately gave the order. Although the jet flames were neutralized by the thick layer of grease, they were a real counter to the Steel/Flying Skarmory!

The waves of water had been prepared for a long time, but fortunately, Kingdra's storm swept all the rainwater forward, and the scorching flames were not diminished by the rain.

A blazing white pillar of fire pierced precisely through the edge of the storm and slammed into a scaly bird that was busy fighting the storm and had no time to spare!

Outstanding effect!

"Qiang——!!!"

The armored bird let out a piercing metallic cry, its steel feathers instantly turning red-hot and twisting as it plummeted from the sky, rendered incapable of fighting!

The tide of battle turned instantly! Grandpa Guo, with just one Kingdra, overwhelmed the opponent's five Champion-level Pokémon, leaving them in a sorry state, and even had one of them crippled by Zhang Heng's cooperation!

With victory in sight, King Thorn Dragon, under the old man's command, launched an increasingly fierce offensive.
