Chapter 4

"Roar!"

A large wolfhound that was surrounding Larvitar suddenly lifted its head and sniffed the air, its fierce gaze instantly locking onto the direction of the bushes.

Another large wolfhound reacted even more dramatically, opening its mouth and launching a Shadow Ball directly at the bushes.

A dark purple energy ball shot over at incredible speed, and before Hu Yang could react, he felt a heavy blow to his chest.

What the hell! He just wanted to ask for directions, did it have to be so brutal!

The sudden situation caught the attention of the two men, who quickly shifted their gaze to Hu Yang, who had been knocked to the ground.

"Growl."

The large wolfhound emitted a low growl from its throat, pressing its powerful front legs against Hu Yang's chest, its gaze unfriendly.

"Chirp!"

Seeing Hu Yang being attacked, Gu Yue's expression finally changed. A white light flashed in its eyes, and in the next second, blue rings appeared around its body.

The air around them began to become agitated, and an indescribable pressure filled the area.

"What is that?!" The man behind the large wolfhound was genuinely shocked by the sight.

That Pokémon, that oppressive move... he had never seen anything like it!

No one answered him, because in the next second, countless blue-white beams of light shot out from the blue rings around Gu Yue, striking the two large wolfhounds with precise and indiscriminate attacks.

Hu Yang was stunned.

Wasn't that Origin Pulse from Groudon?!

This scene was reflected in Larvitar's eyes, which looked at Hu Yang, who in turn looked at Gu Yue.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

The large area in front of them visibly changed in the light.

Trees, grass, and the plants in this area were visibly decomposed, destroyed, and annihilated.

The two large wolfhounds were in a near-death state.

When everything returned to calm, Hu Yang couldn't help but swallow hard.

The power of Origin Pulse was truly outrageous!

He stood up and looked at Gu Yue.

After using the move, Gu Yue returned to its dazed state and stood back on his shoulder.

The two men, recovering from their shock, looked at Gu Yue with fear.

The wide-ranging attack had missed them by just a hand's breadth.

Seeing the large wolfhounds being instantly killed, they couldn't even imagine what would happen if a human were hit!

With this thought, the two men exchanged a glance and turned to run.

But at that moment, a figure with a proud and cold demeanor appeared in front of their escape route.

It was, Sylphion!

Sylphion's eyes glowed with a blue light, and it angrily used its psychic powers to lift the two men from the ground and throw them hard against a thick tree trunk.

Two muffled groans echoed, and they instantly fell unconscious.

So... so fast!

Before Hu Yang could react, a white light flashed before him, and Sylphion used Teleport to appear directly above him.

A psychic power quickly condensed into a solid light blade, about to strike down, when suddenly, a small figure blocked between Sylphion and Hu Yang.

Hu Yang quickly put some distance between himself and the dangerous Sylphion.

Larvitar looked at Sylphion with an anxious expression.

After a moment, the psychic blade in front of Sylphion disappeared, and it abandoned the attack, instead looking at Larvitar with a serious expression, like a mother scolding her daughter.

Larvitar made a soft sound, looked back at Hu Yang, and then used Teleport to leave with its mother.

"Phew..."

Seeing this, Hu Yang let out a sigh of relief.

Clearly, he had been mistaken by Sylphion as being part of the group of those two men.

The Pokémon world was truly dangerous; he had just wanted to ask for directions!

Hu Yang turned to look at Gu Yue.

So, was he attacked because it triggered Gu Yue's automatic protection mechanism?

"Use Origin Pulse again?" Hu Yang tried to ask.

"Chirp?" Gu Yue held its head with its wings, looking at him with a dazed expression.

Hu Yang: "..."

He gave up on communication and instead went to check the condition of the two large wolfhounds.

[Species: Mightyena ♂]

Type: Dark

Ability: Overconfident

Base Stats: 420 (HP: 70, Attack: 90, Defense: 70, Special Attack: 60, Special Defense: 60, Speed: 70)

Current Emotion: Unconscious, unable to sense

Physical Condition: Severe (lost battle capability, and injuries cannot heal automatically)

Critical (will die if not treated)

Friendliness: -50 (Be careful! It considers you an enemy and will attack you at any time)

One hit plus such a destructive power…

Even Hu Yang was shocked by the performance of the Pokémon he had personally modified.

With all six base stats maxed out, it even surpassed the highest base stat Pokémon, Rayquaza, by a significant margin.

Such an outrageous product that could appear in a game, as the creator, he should apologize to Game Freak!

If only Gu Yue could communicate with him. Hu Yang thought with some regret.

Deeply understanding Gu Yue's destructive power, Hu Yang stood up and walked to the two humans who had been knocked down by Sylphion.

He reached out to check their breathing, and after confirming they were not dead, he took off their shirts, twisted them into strips, and tied them to two trees.

Then he searched their entire bodies, placing the items he found on the ground in order from largest to smallest.

Two empty regular red and white balls, a black device similar to a walkie-talkie, several bottles of spray medicine, a wallet containing League coins, and a ticket to Kanto City.

"Kanto City... so this is the Hoenn region?" Hu Yang mused, looking at the information on the ticket.

Then these two people, are they members of Team Magma or Team Aqua?

It doesn't seem like it; Hu Yang remembered that the uniforms of Team Magma and Team Aqua were not like this.

At that moment, the walkie-talkie-like communication device suddenly emitted static, and then a woman's voice came from it: "Takahara, did you get it? The auction is ready, we just need your Larvitar!"

Hu Yang did not respond.

The other side sensed something was wrong: "Takahara?"

"He's sleeping." Hu Yang lowered his voice and said, "You can just tell me what you need to say."

"???" The other side was very cautious and quickly hung up the communication after sensing something was off.

At that moment, the man's eyelids twitched.

Hu Yang put down the walkie-talkie and warned, "If you keep pretending, I don't mind stuffing this dead fish up your backside."

Devil!

The man quickly opened his eyes, looked at the fish with white eyes, felt a chill in his lower body, and glanced fearfully at Gu Yue on Hu Yang's shoulder, asking, "What are you going to do?"

"Simple, answer my questions."
