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

Zhang Heng's cold gaze was fixed on the short man with a rat-like mustache.

Although he had never directly dealt with this person, he had seen his information on the list of potential threats compiled by his father, Zhang Leiyuan. The person was Shuming, nicknamed "Rat Six".

Liao Chunfeng is one of the key confidants within the police force system. He is known for his ruthless methods and cunning, and his strength should not be underestimated.

His appearance, and the fact that he broke into the Alliance's top research lab in such a violent and direct manner, sent a clear signal.

The purge operation carried out by Zhang Leiyuan, the father, in East China has already begun and is likely nearing its end, forcing the remnants of Liao Chunfeng's faction to resort to desperate measures, including taking hostages in an attempt to turn the tide.

And he, as the son of a champion, undoubtedly became the most valuable bargaining chip in their eyes.

"You want to take me hostage? Let's see if you have the ability."

Zhang Heng snorted coldly in his heart, his eyes showing no fear, but instead burning with fierce fighting spirit.

With a slight thought, the unique system panel in his mind instantly unfolded, focusing on the Mega Aggron that was radiating a berserk aura.

[Pokémon Name: Mega Aggron]

[Attribute: Steel]

【Features: Filter】

[Level: 78 (Near-Champion Level)]

[Qualification: Near Champion Level]

【Holded Item: Aggron Mega Evolution Stone】

Skills already learned: ... (omitted)

Aggron's base type is Steel and Rock, and its four-fold weakness to Fighting and four-fold weakness to Ground are its most fatal weaknesses.

However, after it completes its Mega Evolution, its type changes to a single Steel type, which not only avoids the original double quadruple weakness, but also gains the top-tier defensive ability - Filter!

This characteristic can significantly reduce the damage caused by highly effective skills, greatly reducing the power of melee and ground skills that should counter it.

In addition, its physical defense stat of 230 points makes Mega Aggron a truly formidable physical defensive barrier, extremely difficult to break through from the front.

Rat Six clearly had no patience for maneuvering. He spoke in a sinister tone, his voice sharp: "Zhang Heng, if you know what's good for you, just surrender obediently, lest your precious sprites and these precision instruments suffer!" He only wanted a quick victory and to subdue Zhang Heng as soon as possible.

Old Mo, enraged, stepped forward, ready to command his Blastoise to retaliate: "Old Rat Six! You've gone too far! Blastoise, prepare..."

"Old Mo!" Zhang Heng suddenly reached out to stop him, his gaze still fixed on Old Rat Six, his tone calm and firm.

"Leave it to me. Rest assured, I will try my best to control the scale of the battle and will not damage any of the research institute's equipment."

He needs this battle!

Having experienced the bloody baptism of the South China Sea battlefield, the impact of the Dragon Slate's will, the series of fierce battles in the East China battlefield, and even the test of the Suicune Trial, he was eager to know just how much he and his companions had grown!

The formidable enemy before us is the best touchstone!

Not far away, Yanwu King, who was about to make a move, raised his fiery eyebrows slightly, wrapped his thick arms around himself, and actually stopped.

It sensed a peculiar aura emanating from the young trainer, a wave that made even the flames within it feel comfortable and close. Zhang Heng was unaware of this; it was the invisible influence of the fire affinity rewarded by the system.

At the same time, the fierce spirit of not backing down in the face of a powerful enemy, and even taking the initiative to fight, also aroused Yanwu King's interest.

It decided to observe first and see what kind of talent this young man could display.

Seeing that Zhang Heng dared to take the initiative to fight, Old Rat Liu's face flashed with a ferocious look: "Hmph! Stubborn fool! As a citizen, you dare to violently resist the law and show contempt for public officials! You are hereby formally arrested!"

Before he finished speaking, four men dressed in uniforms similar to those of the security forces, but with a more rugged demeanor, quickly ran in through the broken door behind him.

Their fierce eyes and synchronized movements made them seem more like armed members of a private equity firm than regular public officials.

All four of them simultaneously threw out Poké Balls—

"Ouch——!"

"Meow-!"

Two imposing Arcanines and two sharp-eyed Röntgen cats with faint electric sparks leaping around them appeared in the arena, baring their teeth and pouncing directly on Zhang Heng!

"Trying to gang up on us?"

Zhang Heng's eyes narrowed. He also wanted to try it out and see if he could command multiple fronts more accurately after experiencing many major battles.

"Milotic, Gengar, dive into the enemy lines! Hypnosis and Sing!"

The command was given, and the two figures responded instantly!

Milotic's slender body twisted like a dance, gracefully and swiftly cutting between the four attacking Pokémon with an elegance that transcended visual perception, its goal being to hold them off head-on.

Shiny Gengar is even more bizarre. Its purplish-black, plump body seems to blend into the shadows, and with a blink, it silently appears behind a Xeno'jiiva!

It grinned, its eyes rippling with invisible waves, its powerful psychic energy mixed with the eeriness of the Ghost type, transforming into a wide-range hypnotic spell.

It spread out like an invisible tide, instantly enveloping the Xeno'jiiva, the Arcanine next to it, and the two trainers rushing from behind!

The Pokémon and humans affected by the hypnosis instantly became dazed, their movements became visibly slow and stiff, and they eventually collapsed to the ground, falling into a deep sleep.

At the same time, Milotic's silky body had already skillfully wrapped around another Arcanine (Binding skill), restricting its movement.

It raised its head high, its jewel-like eyes shimmering with a dreamlike light, and then a melodious, ethereal song, seemingly capable of soothing the soul, flowed from its mouth.

The beautiful song seemed to possess a magical power, quickly engulfing the Arcanine that it had entangled, the last Xeno'jiiva, and the remaining two trainers.

The sound of the song quickly eroded any will to resist.

The remaining Pokémon and trainers, as if their bones had been removed, drooped their eyelids and eventually collapsed to the ground, falling into a deep sleep.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Heng skillfully and effortlessly eliminated the four henchmen and their Pokémon brought by Rat Six!

However, Lao Liu of the Rat didn't care at all. He didn't even glance at his fallen subordinates. His eyes were fixed on Zhang Heng, as if they were just insignificant cannon fodder.

A cruel smile appeared on his face as he directly issued the command to Mega Aggron: "Hmph, child's play! Mega Aggron, Rock Slide!"

"Roar--!!"

Mega Boscodor roared deafeningly as its massive claws, covered in thick armor, slammed into the alloy ground beneath its feet!

The violent rock-type energy surged wildly, and with brute force, it forcefully lifted several huge, sharp-edged metal fragments and condensed rocks from the specially made ground!

These enormous "rocks," accompanied by a piercing sound as they ripped through the air, crashed down on Zhang Heng and his Pokémon like meteors falling from the sky, blotting out the sun!
