Chapter 292 concludes; objective achieved.
Faced with Red Sun's personal attack, Ash reacted at almost the fastest speed.
However, to everyone's surprise, just as Pikachu's lightning bolt was about to hit the sun, it was blocked by a flying figure.
That's a weasel.
It doesn't seem like it intentionally blocked the 100,000 volts for the Pokémon on duty, since in such a fog, neither normal people nor Pokémon should be able to see the situation clearly.
The reason Weavile was able to block Pikachu's Thunderbolt attack is probably because—
Ash's gaze traveled through the Aura to Cynthia's location.
Standing behind Cynthia, Garchomp assumed an aggressive stance, its sharp claws gleaming with a chilling light in the dim light.
It seems that Weavile tried to ambush Cynthia, but Garchomp noticed it.
Or perhaps it was just providing cover, while the real target was Hunter J in front of Garchomp.
Only by temporarily preventing Garchomp from attacking can they intervene and save Hunter J.
"Pikachu, keep up!"
"Skin!"
Just before Red Sun was about to leave, Ash seemed to notice that he glanced at him.
His location should be different from Pikachu's location when it uses 100,000 volts.
But Ash couldn't worry about that now; he could only hurry up and catch up with the other person, trying to catch up with him before Red Sun took away Hunter J and Stardust.
"Miss Cynthia, the back door!"
"understood!"
Before Ash left, he didn't forget to report the other party's location to Cynthia. However, before Cynthia could even set off, Crobat, who had been using ultrasonic waves to interfere with Rockruff and Garchomp from above, couldn't hold back any longer.
Its assigned task was to stop Cynthia and her Pokémon, so Crobat had to step in.
A silvery-white light enveloped the Crobat's body, and the Crobat fell from the sky like a shooting star, its target Cynthia, who was running towards the back door.
“MI!”
Despite the Crobat's desperate struggle, it ultimately failed to evade the Flower Rock Monster's interception.
After the ultrasonic waves stopped, the Rockruff no longer needed to worry, which naturally freed up enough space to target the Crobat.
......
"What about people?"
Several seconds later, Ash arrived at the back door of the museum. He was only about ten seconds later than Ash and his Pokémon had left.
But when Ash came out, he found that the sun had disappeared without a trace.
"That can't be..."
Xiao Zhi muttered to himself, then focused his attention and increased the output of the waveguide.
Sure enough, in the Aura's line of sight, there were marks left by Psychic-type Pokémon when they used a move in a small patch of bushes nearby.
It seems they just ran away.
Xiao Zhi clenched his fists subconsciously. Although he hadn't expected to be able to keep the Red Sun here, he at least wanted to leave some evidence.
after all--
"Ash!"
Finally, Cynthia followed closely behind.
Following them were the combat personnel from the Alliance.
Seeing Ash standing still, Cynthia walked up to him and asked.
"Where are they? Have they already escaped?"
"Hmm." Ash shrugged helplessly. "He had already escaped when I came out. It seems there must have been a Psychic-type Pokémon here to meet him, so I couldn't catch up."
Xiao Zhi hesitated for a moment, then added:
"And when I realized that the other party was going to escape, I wanted to have Dusknoir stop him, but there seemed to be some kind of trap on the scene, which made my Poké Ball unusable."
"A government agency...?"
Cynthia closed her eyes and nodded.
The technology to lock the Poké Ball should currently only be available within the League.
So, is the other party a mole within the league?
Or perhaps someone who is close to the alliance.
"Where's his face? Ash, did you see it clearly?"
"No."
Ash shook his head. Just when Cynthia thought she was going to go back empty-handed this time, Ash suddenly said, "But his clothes look like what Mr. Sun wore today."
"Red Sun..."
Cynthia silently murmured the name of the scorching sun, her gaze unconsciously rising to look up at the sky.
.......
At this moment, several dozen kilometers away from Shenhe Town.
Hudi, who had finally managed to bring Chiri and the others out, was now exhausted and collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.
The situation for the Japanese is not much better.
If he had actually been hit by Pikachu's Thunderbolt, he would have been done for today.
Was it just good luck?
The one who saved him was actually Weavile, who had been knocked away by Cynthia's Garchomp.
Sure enough, fate was on his side in the end.
"Ahem, I didn't expect you to come in person."
Hunter J stood up somewhat awkwardly.
Despite being rescued by Akari, Hunter J showed no gratitude whatsoever.
After all, this is just a transaction. Their relationship is still that of employer and mercenary. She believes that Chi Ri saved her for a reason and will definitely ask her to do more things later.
Although this is in line with Hunter J's contract spirit.
"Hehe, if you hadn't been so short-lived, I wouldn't have risked my life personally."
Chi Ri snorted coldly, looking like he was in a terrible mood.
Seeing this, Zhenxing could only lower his head, not daring to even apologize.
However, Chi Ri didn't pursue Zhen Xing's responsibility, since she was the one who held out the longest. As for Huo Xing and Sui Xing...
All I can say is that all that training was for nothing.
"So, what's the plan?"
"It's being carried out methodically, and the other side has clearly fallen into the trap."
Hunter J's question finally brought a smile to Akari's face.
After all, their goal in this operation was not the two precious pearls.
Although they would eventually obtain the Vajra Pearl and the White Jade Pearl, there was no need to rush things now. Their challenge was merely a ploy to attract the alliance's attention.
Even these cannon fodder who participated in the operation were originally sacrifices he specifically recruited.
When the Alliance sees that both the Hunter Organization and Team Galactic have deployed such a large force to participate in this operation, will they assume that Team Galactic's only goal is those two orbs?
In that case, will the forces stationed at the three lakes also be reassigned here?
