Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

Ashida knew that using sheer numbers to overwhelm Raikou was not the best strategy:

"These Pokémon are just weakening Raikou to some extent. After blocking its escape, Lyra will enter the fray and earn Raikou's approval with her own strength."

Mikoli shook his head, clearly disagreeing with Ashida's statement.

Can a strategy of first overwhelming the enemy with sheer numbers, weakening them, and then engaging in a so-called one-on-one duel really be "accepted"?

Mikkelsen was very skeptical of this.

However, he didn't say much, since he had no interest in Lei Gong.

Ashida and the others didn't do anything bad, they just used some less-than-honorable methods. That's their personal choice, and there's nothing to criticize about it.

If Lei Gong doesn't agree with them, there will be plenty of opportunities for him to leave later; ordinary methods can't control a second-level god.

"Roar!"

Even though Raikou is a second-tier legendary Pokémon, possessing infinite electricity that ordinary Electric-type Pokémon cannot have.

However, several Pokémon were not afraid of its lightning attacks, and there were also Ground-type moves that were effective against it, as well as several Pokémon blocking its retreat.

These were all Pokémon at least at the level of a Gym Leader. Under the combined attack of nine such targeted Pokémon, Raikou gradually began to suffer injuries.

Looking at the situation before him, which was not exactly one-sided but certainly very favorable, even Mikoli couldn't help but sigh:

"I see that your plan to capture Lei Gong is very meticulous. Judging from this, it's only a matter of time before you subdue Lei Gong."

Ashida shook his head:

"If it were just Raikou, I wouldn't be too worried, but Raikou and Entei appeared in Hoenn at the same time."

"And so far, the Flame Emperor, one of the Three Divine Beasts, has not yet appeared."

Lu An narrowed his eyes.

Yes, he noticed it from the beginning. The news clearly stated that Entei and Raikou appeared together on Route 112, but so far, there has been no sign of Entei at all.

Where did Emperor Yan go?

Just as Lu An was pondering to himself, a woman with purple hair and dressed in a tight-fitting outfit slowly walked out.

When she appeared, the Flygon and Camerupt that were attacking Raikou retreated, leaving only Nosepass and other Pokémon to restrain Raikou and prevent it from escaping.

Lu An recognized her at a glance as Lila, the leader of the combat zone, the pioneer leader with the symbol of "ability," nicknamed "The Great Lord."

"Maniura".

"Yo-ra."

A hook-claw Pokémon with fan-shaped hair and a height of only one meter appeared beside Lila.

Opposite Lila and Mavira, Raikou, bearing many injuries, looked somewhat exhausted, and the clouds floating above the forest appeared much smaller than before.

However, as a divine beast, Lei Gong possessed an unyielding pride that no divine beast could abandon. Even in the face of such a predicament, he still let out a terrifying roar:

"Roar!"

However, Lila, being the Great Queen, would not be intimidated by this roar:

"Mavira, sharpen your claws."

"Yora".

Having quickly sharpened its claws twice, Weavile looked coldly at the still majestic legendary Pokémon opposite it.

With the added boost from two sharpening claws, Weavile, which already possessed Gym Leader level strength, now has reached the level of an Elite Four member.

Although he is not yet comparable to Lei Gong at his peak, Lei Gong is no longer at his peak due to repeated exhaustion.

Therefore, Mammalian returned Raikou's gaze without the slightest fear.

"Roar!"

Thunder God roared again, "Thunder!"

Lightning struck across the entire area once again.

If it were in its prime, the Thunder God could unleash its electricity in every corner within a radius of tens of meters, transforming the area into an electrical field filled with lightning.

However, at this moment, Lei Gong no longer had enough power to cover the entire area.

Therefore, the extremely agile Weavile was perfectly capable of finding a safe place to land amidst this powerful thunder!

"Mavira, dodge! Ambush her vitals!"

"Yora!"

What followed was a very intense battle.

Although Lu An, like Mikoli, didn't quite approve of this method of subduing Lei Gong, it wasn't his purpose for this trip.

Therefore, after watching Lila and Raikou fight each other, I looked away.

What about Emperor Yan?

Its best friend is about to be tamed, so where did it go?

As Lu An focused intently on his surroundings, time gradually slipped away, and the battle between Lila and Lei Gong drew to a close.

The Weavile that was originally confronting Raikou has now been replaced by Salamence.

Ryukia, who had been watching the battle of the divine beasts from Lu An's side, clicked her tongue in admiration:

"Raiko truly lives up to its reputation as a lightning Pokémon with endless electricity; it hasn't fallen down yet."

Mikoli nodded, clearly acknowledging Raikou's fighting spirit.

Given Ashida's meticulous targeting, he wasn't confident he could have held out this long with any of his Champion-level Pokémon.

Lei Gong has actually fought his way to this point all by himself, truly deserving of the name of a divine beast.

Just then, an anxious voice suddenly came through Ashida's walkie-talkie:

"Boss, boss..."

Ashida shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Take your time, it's not like the Yan Emperor is here, what's the rush!"

"Boss, Emperor Yan has arrived!"

"What did you say!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud roar rang out, but unlike the Thunder God's roar which seemed to echo, this roar sounded much deeper.

Along with the deep roar, a fiery red figure appeared.

The moment it appeared, the figure rushed straight towards Chao Beibi, who was silently hiding to the side using [Block], so fast that no one present could react.

Lightning fast.

"Roar!"

The direction Yan Di appeared was the far south, so his nose was magnetic. The nose that always faced north was powerless to resist and was directly knocked away by Yan Di's lightning speed, losing consciousness.

Immediately afterwards, Entei pounced on the Breloom, Electabuzz, and other Pokémon that were still flanking nearby.

A flame containing mysterious power enveloped them all.

"Roar!"

Raigong, who was still fighting Lila, suddenly felt as if he were echoing the sudden arrival of the Flame Emperor, and the clouds around him suddenly swelled.

"Oh no! Salamence! Get out of the way!"

Just when Lila thought that Leigong was about to unleash his full power, Leigong unexpectedly turned around and ran away.

Who says mythical beasts have to fight to the death?

The seals on my body have all been lifted. If I don't run now, when will I?

On the other side, after blocking several Pokémon, Entei rushed to the highest point of the battlefield and used a massive Flame Burst that covered the entire field from above.

The immense power meant that even though Ashida's team was prepared, they were still stopped at one end by the scorching heat.

Clearly, it was buying time for Lei Gong to escape.

After successfully striking, Emperor Yan did not linger in the battle and turned to run in the direction where Emperor Lei had left.

"Don't panic, don't panic! Let our people prepare quickly. It's just a mere Yan Emperor as reinforcements. Don't let them escape from this forest!"

Although Emperor Yan's appearance was so strange and swift, easily rescuing the trapped and struggling Lei Gong, he still managed to escape.

However, Ashida was not discouraged. Subduing a divine beast was something that ordinary people would never even dare to dream of. If he didn't have a backup plan, how could he dare to make such a plan?

He had already deployed a lot of people around the perimeter. Although he didn't know how the Flame Emperor had managed to sneak into the encirclement silently, now that it was in, it wouldn't be able to get out.

This time, he will not only subdue Lei Gong, but also Yan Di!

However, the panicked voice on Ashida's walkie-talkie didn't calm her down much; instead, it sounded even more helpless.

"But boss, it's not just Emperor Yan, even Suijun is here!"

"what!"
