Chapter 380: The Arrival of Zhurong Yun!
The Namgung clan was incredibly on edge regarding Arbok. It wasn't just because Arbok was the partner of their great benefactor, Kenji, but because it carried the Golden Scale personally gifted by their Guardian Deity.
To the Namgung clan, the Giant Dragonite was akin to a divine protector. Being personally bestowed a scale by such a being made Arbok—in their eyes—something akin to a "Son of God."
While waiting for the medical results, Namgung Xi finally arrived.
Accompanying her was none other than Zhurong Yun.
Kenji was stunned. As the sitting Champion of the Huaxia League, it was theoretically impossible for Zhurong Yun to step one foot outside the mainland.
He hadn't expected Team Rocket's operation to be grave enough to draw the Champion himself to the scene.
"Senior Yun, why are you here?" Kenji asked, stepping forward to greet him.
Zhurong Yun's expression was far more solemn than usual. He softened slightly when he saw Kenji. "I never imagined Team Rocket would possess such a terrifying trump card. As soon as Patriarch Zhang contacted the Huaxia League to explain the situation, I departed immediately.
"It's fortunate that you were here. If not, Dragon Island would have suffered catastrophic losses."
It was clear that Team Rocket's possession of Mewtwo—a creature that could stand toe-to-toe with the Giant Dragonite—had caught the Huaxia League completely off guard.
The Giant Dragonite was famously the strongest entity beneath the First-Class Gods. Its existence was the sole reason Dragon Island had remained unthreatened for centuries.
That this guardian had been pushed into a grueling stalemate by a single artificial Pokémon from Team Rocket had sent shockwaves through the League. They had deployed their Champion, Zhurong Yun, the moment the alarm was raised.
Unfortunately, even with the Champion moving at full speed, he had arrived just now.
Had the battle followed a normal rhythm, the Giant Dragonite would likely still be locked in combat. But with the massive number of cloned Pokémon assisting Mewtwo, and the loss of the island's own Master-rank protectors, Dragon Island would have been decimated even if it hadn't been fully occupied.
If the island fell, the massive population of Dragonite and Dratini would have been harvested by Team Rocket.
The value of so many Pseudo-Legendaries was beyond calculation. Had that nightmare scenario come to pass, the loss to Huaxia would have been immeasurable, terrifying, and absolute.
Fortunately, Kenji's presence had successfully prevented it.
Zhurong Yun had moved fast, intercepting Namgung Xi on the way and bringing her along.
Suddenly, Namgung Xi rushed forward, throwing her arms around Kenji, her eyes brimming with tears. "Woooo... thank you, Kenji..."
She babbled on, but Kenji felt a bit awkward. He patted her shoulder gently. "Hey... if you want to thank me, could you let go first?"
Namgung Xi pulled back, though her eyes remained watery. It was clear she had been genuinely terrified by Team Rocket's sudden raid.
With Arbok's condition still critical, Kenji, Zhurong Yun, and Patriarch Namgung Zhang huddled together, faces grim and silent.
"Mewtwo... Team Rocket continues to give us 'surprises'..."
Zhurong Yun exhaled a long, heavy breath, his eyes darkening.
Asia was the most active continent for Team Rocket, and Huaxia, as the strongest League in the region, had suffered the most for years.
But their network was deep, tangled, and complex. Although the League had struck them multiple times, they were like a cancer that couldn't be fully rooted out. Instead, in the shadows unseen by the League, they had grown ever stronger.
"When I return, I will report Team Rocket's actions and situation to the World League. We will issue a global high-priority warrant. We must eradicate them entirely in the shortest possible time!!!"
Zhurong Yun's eyes were filled with iron resolve. Team Rocket's audacity had finally, truly enraged the giant that was the Huaxia League.
Previously, as long as Team Rocket behaved within the borders and didn't cross the line, the League, constrained by various factors, hadn't pursued them to the end.
But this time, the League was determined to crush them at any cost.
Kenji's expression was equally solemn. "What worries me more is that during this battle, Mewtwo appeared to have gone rogue, slipping out of Team Rocket's control.
Mewtwo's strength is terrifying. Even while restrained by its armor, it held its own against the Giant Dragonite, even gaining the upper hand.
Now that those limiters are fully gone, Mewtwo's power will become truly apocalyptic. Even you, Mr. Yun, might not be its match."
Kenji was being tactful. Zhurong Yun was undeniably strong, and his Ace, Blaziken, was at the Master-rank level. But compared to Mewtwo, Blaziken stood little chance—especially against a Mewtwo that was both more powerful and significantly more agile.
Zhurong Yun sighed, unable to refute the claim. His tone turned heavy. "I can only hope Mewtwo doesn't enter the Huaxia mainland. I have already contacted the League—every city is on high alert, prepared for a potential strike."
If Mewtwo truly entered Huaxia, it would be a catastrophe of cataclysmic proportions...
...
Further conversation revealed that outside the Fog Zone, Team Rocket had engaged in a fierce battle with the arriving League prosecutors and Navy forces.
Although there were no Legendary-tier clashes there, the sheer number of cloned Pokémon had devastated the League's naval forces, leaving many soldiers and Pokémon sacrificed or wounded.
Fortunately, thanks to the quality of the League's forces, they had successfully defeated Team Rocket and captured a large number of their members.
...
"Dr. Fang, you're awake."
Inside the lab, Dr. Fang opened his eyes. The man on the hospital bed next to him rushed over with excitement.
Dr. Fang's expression was dull, his eyes hollow, as if he were a man who had lost his soul.
"Dr. Fang, don't be too sad. Genetic cloning technology still relies on your leadership to be perfected. Once it's fully mature, we can definitely create something even stronger than Mewtwo."
The man tried to console him, seeing Dr. Fang so listless.
But that sentence finally got a reaction out of Dr. Fang.
Dr. Fang turned his head slowly, shaking his head with a heavy, resolute tone. "No... there will never be another. Mewtwo... is the most perfect creation of genetic cloning."
The man froze, about to speak, when a sudden explosion interrupted him.
