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

The guards didn't wait for orders, or rather, their anger overwhelmed their commands. They aimed at the figure in the black robe in front of them and pulled the trigger hard!

“Da da da da da——!!!”

A barrage of fiery tongues erupted! Scorching bullets sliced ​​through the air, weaving a storm of metal as they hurtled towards Plague and the two Pokémon beside him!

However, the plague didn't even budge in the face of this sudden metal frenzy.

"Woo——"

The crystal flower standing to his right emitted a soft chime, and its deep purple crystal body glowed slightly.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!”

Less than three meters below the ground in front of the plague, hard, sharp, deep purple stalagmites emerged from the soil like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

In an instant, an impenetrable stalagmite barrier was formed, firmly protecting the plague from behind!

"Clang clang—puff puff puff—"

The vast majority of the dense bullets struck the tough purple stalagmites hard, scattering sparks and stone chips, but only leaving shallow white marks on the surface, unable to penetrate at all.

The few stray bullets were easily deflected by the centipede king waving its legs or by the slightly deflected body of the crystal flower.

After a rapid burst of fire, the magazine was empty, the gunfire ceased, and the stalagmite barrier remained unmoved. The plague behind it was completely unharmed, not even a sway of its hem.

"What...rude barbarians!"

The plague's voice came through the mask, carrying a hint of annoyance at being disturbed, as well as a deeper, cold killing intent.

"It seems I need to properly teach you what... the etiquette for treating 'guests' is."

His gaze fell on the crystal flower.

"Crystal Flower, teach them a lesson! The ground is covered in poison!"

“Buzz——!!!”

The deep purple body of the Crystal Flower suddenly burst forth with a dazzling purple light!

Its entire body suddenly began to spin rapidly, like a strange purple top!

As it rotates, fist-sized, translucent purple crystals, each containing terrifyingly toxic energy, appear.

Like a shower of flowers, it sprayed out from its body, not aimed at any person or Pokémon, but scattered and spread to all directions and corners of the open space in front of the police station!

This is precisely the unique characteristic of the Crystal Flower—poison everywhere!

When attacked by a physical attack, it will trigger, laying deadly poison dart traps throughout the battlefield!

A single layer of poison spikes is enough to poison any Pokémon that steps in, causing them to continuously lose stamina.

If there is time to lay two layers... then one will fall into an even more dangerous state of poisoning, and the toxicity will increase dramatically over time!

In the real bloody battlefield, the terror of this move is magnified infinitely!

Its target is not just Pokémon... humans are not spared either!

Once these purple crystals, containing the pure power of poison-based laws, land and take effect, the area in front of the police station will instantly transform into a deadly, poisonous wasteland where even breathing will be fatal!

The fate of ordinary guards who lack the protection of Steel-type Pokémon and top-tier protective gear is predictable!

"not good!"

"Lucario! Aura Missile, intercept those crystals! Don't let them hit the ground!"

King Xiao Ding's expression changed drastically, and he roared angrily! He knew how terrifying this move was, and he had to destroy as many of the poison crystals as possible before it was fully deployed!

"Luca—!!!"

Lucario reacted extremely quickly, bringing his arms together in front of his chest. The azure blue aura power gathered wildly, instantly condensing into a bright blue energy ball the size of a washbasin—the Aura Sphere!

It aimed at the densest patch of purple crystals scattered by the Crystal Flower and was about to launch!

However, the deadly tricks of a plague are never limited to just one.

"Ha...naive. Centipede King, missile needles!" The Plague's chilling voice, like the whisper of death, rang out at just the right moment.

"hiss--!!!"

The centipede king, standing to the left of the plague, suddenly had its two slender, rose-red antennae on its head glow with a deep, insect-like light!

Its body crouched slightly, its mouth opened, and in the next moment, countless energy needles, as thin as cow hair yet incredibly sharp, with tips flashing a purplish-black cold light, flew out.

Like a storm, it emitted a dense, piercing whistling sound, and with a sweeping force, it swarmed towards Lucario, who was gathering wave missiles!

The speed and the scope of its coverage are so great that there is simply no way to avoid it!

A hint of helplessness flashed in Lucario's red eyes.

In a flash, it made its choice—its arms slammed together, propelling the condensed wave missiles toward the incoming swarm of needles.

Attempting to offset some of the attack with an explosion, while desperately dodging to the side, preparing to intercept the poison shards scattered on the ground once again!

But how could you possibly dodge a Master-level Pokémon's STAB move so easily...?

"Boom! Bang bang bang bang—!!!"

The wave missile collided with the leading group of flying needles, exploding into a chaotic flow of blue and black energy that annihilated a large number of flying needles.

However, the number of Centipede King's "Pin Missiles" was simply too great. The subsequent pins were like a persistent thorn, penetrating the aftershocks of the explosion and striking Lucario's side and arm, which he was unable to completely dodge!

"Luca—!!!"

Lucario let out a painful roar. Although its Steel-type body was highly resistant to Bug-type moves, the attack power of this Centipede King was truly terrifying, and the needles seemed to be covered with strange penetrating energy!

It was sent flying backward through the air by the enormous impact!

"Lucario!"

King Xiao Ding's eyes widened in shock, and he cried out in alarm!

He could no longer care about anything else and rushed forward, trying to catch his partner who was flying backward with his own body!

"Bang——!!!"

A heavy muffled sound!

Xiao Dingtian successfully blocked the flying Lucario with his chest, but the terrible impact was not completely dissipated, pushing him back several steps. Finally, the man and the Pokémon crashed hard into a decorative rockery behind the police station gate!

"Boom!"

The artificial rockery collapsed, and dust filled the air!

King Xiao Ding let out a muffled groan, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but he still held Lucario tightly in his arms.

Lucario was in worse condition, with dozens of tiny holes on its body. Although they weren't deep, the dark green Bug-type energy was seeping in and eroding its interior. It was weak and clearly had suffered serious internal injuries.

And in that brief interval between rescue and injury...

The poisonous crystals scattered by the Crystal Flower, like a purple rainstorm, were like seeds of death, about to fall on the open space in front of the police station and... on the heads of many security guards who did not have time to retreat!

The purple light illuminated every face contorted with terror, despair, or rage.

The deadly miasma is about to complete its final harvest.

A calm voice came from behind the police station.

"Bangilas...dust!"
