Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Chapter 269 Sword and Shield

Honedge shot out of the room, followed closely by Bewear, who tumbled off Ice Vaporeon's bed, rolling after Honedge.

Honedge arrived just in time to see Nurse Joy being harassed. It was about to intervene when someone tugged on its sash from behind.

Honedge turned to see Bewear.

“Yoo~ Yoo~” It indicated that it wanted to save Nurse Joy.

Bewear gently shook its head.

“Yoo~ Yoo~” Honedge didn't understand why Bewear was stopping it and tried to pull its sash back from Bewear's grasp.

But Honedge's strength was no match for Bewear's; no matter how hard it pulled, Bewear remained unmoved.

Meanwhile, after threatening Calem and Officer Jenny, the Team Flare Admin returned and ordered his subordinates:

“Lock all these people up!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Nurse Joy and the little girl, who had been held by Spiritomb, were thrown to the ground.

They even dragged out the Pokémon that were still recovering in the sickroom, including Ice Vaporeon and the sleeping Salamence.

Ice Vaporeon had wanted to resist, but remembering the silent departure of Honedge and Bewear, it silently endured, letting itself and the other Pokémon be locked up together.

However, Ice Vaporeon didn't expect that Team Flare would use Sleep Powder on them, released by a Cottonee, to prevent the Pokémon from causing trouble, knocking them all unconscious.

Ice Vaporeon, already injured, was too slow to react and succumbed as well.

But where were Honedge and Bewear?

They had hidden themselves.

After completing this, Team Flare stationed two people to guard the doors to the rooms holding the Pokémon and hostages, while the others rested in the main hall.

After all, they couldn't remain in a stalemate with the police forever; a major battle was inevitable, so they needed to conserve their energy.

At that moment, Bewear finally emerged with Honedge, launching a surprise attack on the two guards, defeating them and their Pokémon in a single strike.

Then, Bewear stood guard in the middle of the corridor. It nodded to Honedge, who instantly understood.

It could now notify Officer Jenny and Calem to launch an attack.

While hiding, they had already noticed that the Pokémon Center was surrounded by police.

Previously, Bewear had stopped Honedge not because they couldn't defeat the opponents, but because there were hostages in Team Flare's hands.

But now, that concern was gone.

The rooms holding the hostages and Pokémon were connected, with only one corridor providing access.

Now that Bewear was guarding the corridor, no one could pass, ensuring the safety of the hostages and Pokémon.

With Bewear guarding the corridor, the police could capture Team Flare without worrying about the hostages.

It had to be said that Team Flare's choice of these two strategically located rooms inadvertently helped Bewear and Honedge.

Hearing the commotion, some of the Team Flare members came to investigate.

Upon seeing Bewear and Honedge, they immediately realized something was wrong, raised the alarm, and simultaneously commanded their Pokémon to attack.

An Arbok and an Arbok, mouths full of venom, lunged forward.

“Yoo~~” Honedge unsheathed its swords, activating Psycho Cut. Two streaks of purple energy shot out, instantly striking the two snakes in their vitals.

The snakes were knocked away before they could even get close, instantly losing their ability to fight.

The two Team Flare members were about to cry out in alarm, but they didn't notice two shadows appearing behind them.

The two shadows suddenly transformed into hands, striking the Team Flare members, instantly knocking them unconscious.

It turned out that Honedge had secretly used Shadow Sneak.

However, the screams of the Arbok and Arbok when they were defeated alerted the Team Flare members in the front.

The Team Flare Admin quickly arrived with a group of subordinates, and he was stunned when he saw Honedge and Bewear.

Where did these two Pokémon come from?

He remained expressionless and ordered Spiritomb, “Spiritomb, capture them!”

“Kaka~~” Spiritomb launched an attack on the two Pokémon without hesitation, unleashing a Dark Pulse.

Honedge flew forward, and a flash of silver light cut the Dark Pulse in two.

Seeing this, the Team Flare Admin and Spiritomb were stunned. They had never expected Honedge to be so strong.

The Team Flare Admin looked at the imposing Honedge and suddenly became interested.

“Very good, I've taken a liking to you. Become my Pokémon!” he said.

“Yoo~” Honedge refused sternly. Only Anjie was worthy of being its trainer.

The Team Flare Admin sneered, “Since that's the case, then I'll just have to force you!”

He then ordered his subordinates to deal with Bewear, while he himself would take on Honedge.

Clearly, he didn't think much of Bewear, an inconspicuous Pokémon.

Of course, there was a reason why Bewear was underestimated.

Just look at it, eyes tightly closed, hugging its stump, swaying back and forth leisurely, with a bubble of snot hanging from its nose—it didn't have the air of a powerful figure at all.

The battle was about to begin.

First, with Bewear, the grunts initially didn't take it seriously. One of them commanded his Ariados, “Ariados, use String Shot, tie up this little thing for me!”

His tone was confident of victory. What could a small Bewear do?

“A~” Ariados responded, opening its mouth and shooting a white thread towards Bewear.

Bewear rolled to the side, and Ariados's attack missed.

At this point, the grunt still didn't realize the seriousness of the situation. He said dismissively, “Oh ho, the little thing is quite nimble!”

After speaking, his expression suddenly turned ferocious, “Ariados, Pin Missile, give this little thing a good lesson!”

“Ado~” Ariados's eyes flashed with a purple light. It raised its two forelimbs high, with a yellow-green light flashing on its claws.

This time, Bewear didn't dodge. The opponent thought it was scared, so he laughed triumphantly.

However, at the moment Ariados's claws came down, Bewear raised its tree stump and easily blocked the attack.

The Team Flare member's laughter stopped abruptly.

“How… how could this be?” He and Ariados had graduated in the top ten. How could a small Bewear…

Lysandre was very wealthy. Over the years, he established many Trainer Schools, claiming to provide ordinary people with equal opportunities to become Trainers. However, in reality, he was secretly cultivating Trainers for Team Flare.

Ariados and its Trainer were graduates of one of these schools.

Of course, these schools did help many ordinary people receive better Trainer education and gain the opportunity to become Trainers.

Lysandre's reputation as a philanthropist was not entirely unfounded.

Then, to the horror of the Team Flare members, Ariados cried out miserably and flew backward, crashing heavily into the wall, creating a hole and losing its ability to battle.

Even the dullest of them finally realized that this seemingly inconspicuous little thing was not right.

"Everyone, attack together!"

In an instant, Jumpluff, Sandslash, Zubat, Magneton... all swarmed forward.

But could a few small fries possibly overwhelm Komala with numbers? It guarded the corridor, slaughtering in all directions, preventing anyone from passing through!

For a time, the corridor was filled with continuous wails, both from Pokémon and people.

Similarly, Doublade was engaged in a fierce battle with Spiritomb.

Compared to the Komala's crushing victory, Doublade was having a much harder time.

Doublade launched the first attack. A dark light flashed on its blades, and it slashed sharply at Spiritomb.

The Team Flare Admin commanded Spiritomb, "Spiritomb, Sucker Punch!"

As his words fell, Spiritomb transformed into a stream of dark light and crashed into Doublade, instantly sending it flying. Doublade's Sucker Punch failed.

Fortunately, Doublade had excellent defense and was equipped with an Eviolite, which increased both its defenses, so the hit it just took wasn't a problem.

Seeing that Doublade was almost unharmed, the Team Flare Admin nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, worthy of being a Pokémon I have my eye on."

Doublade raised its swords again and slashed at Spiritomb. This time, it attacked extremely fast, and because of its No Guard ability, Spiritomb was sent flying before it could react.

"Good, very good!"

Seeing his Pokémon being knocked away, the Team Flare Admin not only didn't get angry but burst out laughing, looking at Doublade with increasing satisfaction, as if Doublade was already in his grasp.

"Spiritomb, Trick Room!"

Spiritomb was a very slow Pokémon, so Trick Room was an essential move for it.

As the Team Flare Admin's words fell, a square blue space appeared out of nowhere, enveloping both Spiritomb and Doublade.

The moment the space appeared, Doublade felt as if its body was restrained by something, and every movement seemed restricted.

This was the effect of Trick Room, allowing slower Pokémon to move first.

In fact, Doublade's speed was also very slow, its base speed stat was even the same as Spiritomb's.

However, differences in individual values greatly widened the gap between the two. Doublade's speed IV was maxed out, while Spiritomb's was only a single digit.

Plus, he intentionally avoided training its speed, so the Spiritomb in front of him was highly compatible with the Trick Room move.

"Spiritomb, Shadow Ball!" The Team Flare Admin commanded Spiritomb to attack.

"Ka ka ~ ~ ~" A black energy ball formed in front of Spiritomb, and it controlled it to shoot towards Doublade.

After Trick Room took effect, it was like a fish in water.

Seeing the Shadow Ball coming towards it, Doublade reacted extremely quickly and immediately tried to dodge.

Unfortunately, restricted by Trick Room, its body couldn't keep up with its thoughts. Its mind reacted, but its body couldn't.

Boom! ! !

With a loud noise, Doublade was sent flying, crashing heavily into the energy wall formed by Trick Room.

Ghost-type moves were effective against Doublade, but Doublade still wobbled and flew up, launching the move Sucker Punch.

But when it raised its swords to slash at Spiritomb, Spiritomb effortlessly blocked it with Dark Pulse.

Because it already knew about Doublade's No Guard ability, Spiritomb didn't dodge its attacks but used moves to defend, using offense as defense.

"Hahaha ~ ~" The Team Flare Admin laughed, "I advise you to obediently surrender. In Trick Room, no one can win against my Spiritomb!"

As his words fell, Spiritomb launched another Shadow Ball at Doublade.

Doublade thought: I can't dodge, but I can defend, right?

So it launched Wide Guard.

Unfortunately, Doublade was still sent flying, becoming battered and bruised.

Because its body couldn't keep up with its reaction speed, Wide Guard was only cast after the Shadow Ball hit it, and it didn't have any effect.

"Obediently follow me, and I will definitely nurture you well, allowing you to become a powerful Pokémon!" The Team Flare Admin continued to babble.

Doublade wobbled and floated up, looking at the smug Team Flare Admin opposite it. It suddenly made a decision in its heart.

The next second, a dark purple stone was wrapped in its ribbons.

Seeing that stone, the Team Flare Admin was stunned. He didn't even see where Doublade took out the stone from.

Immediately afterward, brilliant light enveloped Doublade. In the light, Doublade's figure began to change rapidly.

That's right, the stone Doublade just took out was the Dusk Stone that could allow it to evolve.

Anje had already prepared the Dusk Stone for Doublade, storing it in its system backpack.

He told Doublade that as long as Doublade felt it could evolve, it could take out the Dusk Stone and evolve at any time.

All the changes happened in just a moment. When the light dissipated, the Doublade composed of two swords had disappeared, replaced by an Aegislash composed of a sword and a shield.

However, compared to ordinary Aegislash, Anje's Aegislash had a big difference in color.

Ordinary Aegislash had a golden sword body, white blade, and purple ribbon hand.

Anje's Aegislash had a black sword body, a bright red blade, and a golden ribbon hand.

Just as Doublade finished evolving, Spiritomb's attack came again.

Aegislash forcibly withstood the attack, while raising the sword high, a brilliant light burst from its body, and a golden giant sword soared into the sky.

It launched the move Sacred Sword.

However, it didn't slash at Spiritomb with this move, as Spiritomb was immune to Fighting-type moves, but instead slashed directly at Trick Room.

Hua la la ~ ~ ~ With a crisp sound, Trick Room shattered directly.

After evolving, Aegislash had undergone a complete transformation!
