Chapter 117: Chapter 117
"Empoleon, your opponent is Arcanine.
Water Jet!"
The excited Dawn immediately joined the duel, choosing Arcanine as her opponent. Although Prinplup's evolved form, Empoleon, possessed the Steel typing, perhaps the only opponent it could defeat at this moment was Arcanine, which was weak to Water-type moves.
"A preemptive strike?" Greenspan frowned slightly.
Water Jet was an extremely fast move. Arcanine was of a higher level than Empoleon and was also a speed-based Pokémon. It could definitely dodge other moves.
Only a fast, small move like Water Jet...
"Arcanine, endure it.
Then find an opportunity to use Flamethrower.
It must... Gengar!"
"How did it get here!?"
Greenspan, who was in the middle of giving orders, never expected that while his Arcanine was still fighting Empoleon, Gengar would suddenly appear behind Arcanine. He glanced in shock at Will, who was battling Leaf and recalling his Natu. As a Psychic-type Elite Four member, he was at a severe disadvantage against Gengar.
Without any surprises, Gengar could probably sweep Will's team six to zero just like it did with Koga!
"Arcanine, be careful!"
"Awoo!"
Too late! By the time Greenspan noticed Gengar and Arcanine sensed the danger, Gengar had already launched Poison Jab!
The most powerful Gengar were always trained towards Special Attack and Speed, but Leaf's Gengar was now being trained towards Physical Attack and Speed. Due to eating Poison-type berries, coupled with Poison Sting, Gengar's poison was terrifying to an unimaginable degree.
Leaf had even specifically tested the poison on his Shiny Metagross. Poison-type moves were supposed to be ineffective against Steel-types, but even when Shiny Metagross was hit by Gengar's Poison Jab, even if it could continue fighting, its Attack and Defense would be reduced.
The poison could even affect a pseudo-legendary Steel-type Pokémon, so one could imagine the fate of an ordinary Elite Four-level Pokémon that was hit.
Arcanine was a Fire-type Pokémon, and its typing wasn't weak to Gengar. It could still leap forward a few steps after taking a Poison Jab. But the poison had already spread rapidly through the part of its body that was hit.
Gengar sneered coldly and didn't pursue. In any case, Arcanine would naturally be poisoned and defeated within a minute. Now that it had been hit by its unique poison, it wouldn't be able to attack either. It was as good as useless!
Seeing Gengar appear and disappear like a ghost, returning to his side again, Will frowned tightly, looking at the Natu he had just summoned, not feeling very confident.
Before, Will hadn't planned on using Gardevoir, thinking that with their strength as Elite Four members, they could easily deal with Leaf. But now it seemed...
"Gengar, attack!
Lapras, go support Serena!"
While Will was pondering, Leaf issued more commands. He even had Lapras start supporting Serena on the side.
Serena's Delphox had just reached the Elite Four level and was no match for Lorelei at all.
Seeing that she was about to lose, Leaf naturally had to step in to help.
"I... I'm going to be so angry!
Koga, what a useless piece of trash you are!!"
Seeing Lapras come to support and instantly change the course of the battle, Lorelei angrily summoned another Elite Four-level Pokémon.
They had all agreed on a plan, but who would have thought that Koga would even be taken down himself?
He was the new Poison-type Elite Four member! He actually got poisoned and defeated! He should have just gone back to his hometown to farm earlier, what was he doing as a Poison-type Elite Four member!
The Elite Four of the Indigo League, who had just been aggressive and confident of victory, were now in a complete mess.
And Leaf hadn't even summoned his Shiny Metagross yet!
Now, the new Elite Four finally understood the gap between themselves and their senior, Bruno.
"Stop!"
Just as Will recalled his fifth Psychic-type Pokémon, the helpless Will suddenly shouted.
This shout also made the other two new Elite Four members present stop.
"I'm not fighting anymore!" Will shook his head.
"I didn't expect you to be this strong. You can leave with the wild Pokémon of Cinnabar Cave now."
Ding
Lapras and Gengar's battle experience increased.
Host defeated the new Elite Four of the Regional League, possessing twenty-four low-level Elite Four Pokémon. Calculating points...
Ding
Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1,800,000 points.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining one Lucky Draw Wheel spin.
...
Only 1.8 million points? Shouldn't it be 2.4 million? It seemed that repeatedly defeating Koga, and even directly attacking him, wouldn't grant system points again.
Steadying his mind, Leaf laughed, "Are you admitting defeat so easily?"
"To be honest, I haven't even used my full strength yet."
"When I heard you were also Elite Four members before, I was quite worried, afraid you would be as strong as Bruno."
"Unexpectedly, the difference between your strength and Bruno's is really quite significant!"
Hearing Leaf say this, the three Elite Four members other than Koga looked at each other. They wanted to refute but couldn't find the words.
With the strength Leaf had just displayed, he was indeed qualified to lecture them.
"Recall your Pokémon."
Leaf didn't recall his Pokémon just because they admitted defeat. Because these new Elite Four members had come with a league mission, Leaf wouldn't be surprised if they immediately launched an attack after Leaf recalled his Pokémon.
After all, people who dared to plot against thousands of wild Pokémon wouldn't find it strange to use some despicable tricks, would they?
Helplessly, the other three Elite Four members still followed Leaf's words and recalled their Pokémon.
Gengar was glaring at them now, as if it would attack if they didn't immediately recall their Pokémon.
They didn't think much of Lapras's strength, but Leaf's Gengar had really scared them.
Koga had already reminded and warned them before that Leaf's Gengar was extremely strong.
But the other three Elite Four members didn't take it seriously. It was just a Gengar, they had seen many before, how strong could it be?
Now they knew. It wasn't that strong, it could just support other duels while sweeping six Pokémon in a row.
"Tell those Elite-level Pokémon trainers of your league to disperse!" Leaf pointed at the fifty-odd Elite-level Pokémon trainers two hundred meters away, their faces looking ugly.
"Don't think about doing anything foolish!"
"My Shiny Metagross hasn't even made a move yet. Once I summon it, one punch will be enough to..."
"Awoo awoo awoo..."
Just as Leaf was about to threaten the Elite Four and tell them not to have any crooked ideas,
Three consecutive howls suddenly rang out.
The Elite Four's expressions changed. "Not good!"
"This cry... it's the Legendary Beasts!
They're here!!"
The Legendary Beasts?
Leaf was taken aback. "Are you sure it's the Legendary Beasts?"
"Sure!" Will nodded.
"Before we came, we had already watched dozens of videos of the Legendary Beasts. The cries are definitely correct!"
"This is bad!"
"Wasn't it said there was only Entei? How did Raikou and Suicune appear together!"
Leaf sneered, "Do you even need to ask?"
"Entei appeared in Cinnabar Cave before. Now you've destroyed its home. Isn't it normal for Entei to bring its brothers to seek revenge on you?"
"It seems I don't need to find a new home for the wild Pokémon of Cinnabar Cave. Good luck to you!"
"That's not right!" Lorelei frowned.
"Cinnabar Cave couldn't possibly be Entei's lair, and the other two Legendary Beasts wouldn't unite for such a small matter. I think... there must be some inside story."
"It's none of my business anyway!" Leaf waved his hand, looking like he was watching a show.
"Boom!"
Just then, the three Legendary Beasts suddenly jumped down from the top of Cinnabar Cave, scaring everyone into retreating quickly.
The humans were a bit better, but the wild Pokémon of Cinnabar Cave were really about to pee their pants in fear of the Legendary Beasts!
"Roar!"
The three Legendary Beasts looked around, paused on Leaf for two seconds, then roared loudly at the Elite Four.
Will was stunned, then casually extended a finger and asked back, "Let us leave, it has nothing to do with us?"
"Are you looking for him?"
"Roar!"
Another loud roar, and the Elite Four's expressions became even uglier.
The Legendary Beasts were cursing them, and the curses were quite harsh...
"Are you kidding me? How could the Legendary Beasts be looking for me!" Leaf frowned.
"Don't push the responsibility onto me, I won't take the blame for you."
"They really are looking for you!" The Elite Four said helplessly.
"Just now, the Legendary Beasts communicated with us telepathically..."
"Roar!"
A roar interrupted them. The Legendary Beasts' expressions were quite impatient, as if urging something.
"Good luck to you!" Will gave Leaf a look of resignation, then turned around, carried Koga on his back, and left with the Elite-level Pokémon trainers.
Seeing that the Legendary Beasts didn't show any intention of stopping them, Leaf frowned deeply. He knew that the Elite Four probably hadn't lied to him just now.
"You guys leave too!" Leaf turned his head to look at Serena and Dawn beside him.
"No way!" The two girls shook their heads.
"You can't handle the three Legendary Beasts alone. Their big move like this definitely means they're looking for trouble with you."
"Although I don't know why this is happening..."
"Listen to me, leave quickly!" Leaf said with a serious expression.
"I can't handle the three Legendary Beasts alone. Do you think adding you two will make a difference?"
"Don't get in my way. If a big battle breaks out later, I don't want to have to take care of you like before!"
"Come out, Metagross!"
