Chapter 124 Failure? Hunter J's Decision?
"..."
Hunter J remained silent.
If she could attribute Ash's advantage to luck after their first encounter, she now fully understands the difference in their command levels.
No, it's not just about command skills, but also experience.
Hunter J couldn't understand it. After all, the other party was just a child. Even if he trained every day to achieve something in the league competition, he shouldn't have grown to this extent, right?
Command level is closely related to experience. Hunter J herself believes that her command level would be at least among the top few in the league competition.
These experiences were gained and summarized from real battles that were about life and death. Why... could a kid easily surpass the experience she had painstakingly accumulated?
Do you want to add more Pokémon?
Hunter J instinctively took out two more Poké Balls from her pocket. Although Drapion and Salamence were already her two strongest Pokémon, she still wanted to play it safe when facing Ash.
After all, his petrification device failed to launch a sneak attack during their first meeting, so Hunter J could only rely on his subordinates who were still on their way and the Pokémon in his possession.
However, just as she was about to take action—
"Ok?"
Hunter J keenly noticed that at the same time she took out a Poké Ball, Ash also had... three Poké Balls in his hand?
"Are you provoking me?" Hunter J said coldly.
Although his expression remained calm, Hunter J's mindset had begun to waver.
"It depends on your understanding," Ash replied with a smile. "If we're talking about the number of Pokémon you can command at the same time, I don't think I'll lose."
"..."
Do you want to keep things as they are?
Hunter J quickly understood what Ash meant.
"Dragon King Scorpion Needle Missile, full-area coverage! Salamence... use Flamethrower on the forest!"
If possible, the best option would actually be to defeat the obstacle while ensuring the safety of the cargo, but due to the pressure from Ash, Hunter J chose a more reluctant approach.
Hopefully, the price of the goods won't be driven down due to the damage...
Hunter J was now completely confident of success and had even begun to consider the next steps in the deal.
Upon receiving the command, Drapion took the lead, unleashing countless missiles with white tails that flew off crookedly and without leaving any trace, heading towards Ash's location.
At the same time, Salamence spread its wings and took flight, charging up its power in its mouth for a moment before a blazing pillar of fire shot towards the forest.
In such a dry season, even a single spark can ignite a wildfire that is difficult to extinguish. If this jet of flame were to fall directly into the forest, the Pokémon in the forest would...
"Pikachu, the bird, blocks the pin missile!"
Ash gave this brief instruction and then ran straight towards the front of the forest, where Salamence's Flamethrower was about to reach.
"Twin-tailed Pokémon, use high speed—"
"Electric Beast, use Thunder!"
"?!"
The sudden sound broke the stalemate. A thunderclap accompanied by lightning roared in, blocking the path of the jet flames and completely halting their advance.
"Damn it... they arrived first...?"
Hunter J clenched her fists tightly, her eyes wide as she stared intently at Gary, who had run up to Ash from behind to join him.
Dealing with Ash alone was already troublesome enough, but then another troublesome guy came along.
Moreover, this Electivire's level is definitely not low.
Normally, upon seeing this electric monster, Hunter J would only have the urge to capture it, but now...
"They're too slow! If they'd been any later, we would have missed our chance. And if a fire had started here, it would have been very difficult to handle."
"Sorry sorry."
Xiao Mao explained simply:
"We spotted members of the Hunters organization heading this way when we came out from the cliff edge, which delayed us a bit. They should have taken care of those guys by now."
.......
"call."
Hunter J couldn't help but take a deep breath after overhearing the conversation between Gary and Ash.
My blood pressure is a bit high.
Although she knew that her organization did not have any powerful members, she never expected that her subordinates could be so useless.
Defeated?
And it wasn't the trainer with the Electivire that defeated him, but rather the trainer's companion with Pikachu?
This time is different from the last. Last time, the reason why her subordinates were defeated so quickly was largely because Hunter J did not bring subordinates who were more skilled in Pokémon battles. But this time is different.
This time, she brought a combat unit from the Hunter Organization, and yet the combat unit was wiped out so easily?
Hunter J was beginning to regret his decision.
To prevent her subordinates from having any ulterior motives, she didn't equip them with high-quality Pokémon. After all, capturing Pokémon could be accomplished using the petrification device, and as for wild Pokémon, as long as they had the numerical advantage, they were even less likely to lose.
But now—
"..."
Seeing Ash and Gary walking towards her, Hunter J subconsciously took a step back.
No matter how you look at it, her actions today have failed.
Meanwhile—
"What on earth are you doing? You can't even handle two ordinary trainers? If that's the case, then this business deal is off!"
"?!"
Hearing the irritable voice coming from the communicator next to his ear, Hunter J instinctively wanted to stop him.
"Give me some more time, as long as..."
"no need!"
.......
The sound of Hunter J talking to someone reached Ash and Gary's ears. They subconsciously looked up and saw a helicopter hovering in the air, seemingly observing the situation.
"Looks like the buyer of the Shield Dragon is on a helicopter... "
Xiao Mao's expression looked somewhat stiff.
If he had known earlier that the buyer would come to the site to make the transaction, he could have made more preparations to try and win them over.
Just as Shigeru was thinking this, Ash clicked his tongue in an annoyed manner, and the next second, he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Armored Bird! Shoot it down!"
Xiaomao: "???"
So, he never saw his armored bird.
.......
