Guzzlord, Dark and Dragon-type, Junkivore Pokémon, Beast Boost ability, Ultra Beast codename UB05: Guzzlord... Ash, as a top Pokémon enthusiast, could recite these details backward and forward, but now they only served to remind him of how critical the current situation was!
There is an illustration here, which can be viewed after the version update.
There were a total of three Guzzlord causing destruction, and among them was an even larger shiny version. No wonder the future strongest villain and strongest Elite Four member of Kanto, even working together, were still beaten back, forced to seek help from the nearby Pallet Town.
Viridian's Gym Leader—Giovanni of the Earth and his Aggron, as well as the Flying-type... no, the Dragon Master Lance and his signature Dragonite, were barely managing to deal with two ordinary Guzzlord, and also had to contend with sneak attacks from the shiny one. The battle was extremely perilous!
"What in the world are these things?" Oak on Dragonite's back was also greatly alarmed. In his decades-long career researching Pokémon, he had never seen such ferocious monsters.
"I'm not sure... Their Aura is very chaotic, I can't communicate with them at all. I can only roughly detect that they have Dark and Dragon attributes." Ash couldn't expose his knowledge of Ultra Beasts right now, so he could only provide useful information to the professor as much as possible.
He had indeed tried to communicate with the Guzzlord just now, but not only did the three of them not respond, they also simultaneously hammered Aggron and Lance's Dragonite... Compared to the pushovers in the anime that are easily repelled, these three... are a bit brutal~
"Dark and Dragon attributes, huh... I understand! Dragonite, Protect Ash!" Receiving the information from Ash, Oak pulled out an old-fashioned Poké Ball and jumped down before Dragonite had fully landed!
"Kangaskhan, use Focus Punch with all your might!!" "Roar!!"
A dazzling white light flew out from the Poké Ball, and a majestic Kangaskhan instantly appeared in the air. It descended with its old partner, then swiftly unleashed a fully charged punch with all its might!
Boom!!
A terrifying explosion instantly filled everyone's ears. The shiny Guzzlord, struck by the Focus Punch, involuntarily flew backward, its massive body even deforming from the impact, a large chunk visibly caving in!
It flew back over ten meters, breaking several trees before crashing heavily to the ground, also crushing a solid boulder in the process!
"Such powerful strength..." Ash, still on Dragonite's back, watched in astonishment. He had heard that Oak was once the Champion of Kanto, and seeing it firsthand was truly awe-inspiring!
Moreover, this shouldn't be his peak strength.
Kangaskhan is not some divine beast or immortal beast from fantasy novels; as it gradually ages, its strength will continuously decline from its peak, with only accumulated battle experience remaining.
But even so, the power of its single strike just now was absolutely worthy of a powerhouse's name!
"Reinforcements have finally arrived... Aggron, counter with Hammer Arm!" "Dragonite, give it your all, Dragon Rush!"
Using the time Kangaskhan bought, Giovanni and Lance finally got a breather. They simultaneously commanded Aggron and Dragonite to fight back with renewed vigor, finally forcing the two swaggering evil beasts to retreat!
The situation instantly reversed. While not a complete turnaround, it was at least an even fight.
"Dragonite, please take me to search the forest. There might be other injured people nearby."
Seeing the professor and others confronting the Guzzlord, Ash also asked Dragonite to take him through the forest, on one hand, to look for the generation of Viridian Power, and on the other, to see if there were any other relevant characters here.
Indeed, under a tree not far from the battle site, Ash found two other severely injured individuals.
Both were covered in blood, with no Pokémon accompanying them, but he could vaguely make out the police uniforms they wore.
The middle-aged police officer was still somewhat conscious, but the younger one was already unconscious.
Mudan and Handsome... Ash had guessed correctly.
There is an illustration here, which can be viewed after the version update.
There is an illustration here, which can be viewed after the version update.
These two, one is the future Island Kahuna of Ula'ula Island in Alola, and the other is a recurring key character from Sinnoh onwards.
In the game 'Ultra Sun and Moon,' Mudan and Handsome were both Interpol agents, whose mission was to hunt Ultra Beasts to Protect the world.
Unexpectedly, they are doing similar work now and were also defeated by Guzzlord.
Ash entrusted Dragonite to take them to a relatively safe place. After that, he searched the vicinity again, but his expression gradually turned grim.
If he remembered correctly, Interpol at this time was employing a bait tactic. In their team, there should also be a 'Fall' responsible for attracting Ultra Beasts—that is, someone who had been bathed in Ultra energy.
But Ash couldn't find this person anywhere... Indeed, this is a real and dangerous Pokémon world... Ash unconsciously swallowed, looking at the Guzzlord's widely open mouth in the distance.
But the next second, his pupils suddenly constricted!
"Dragonite, take me there immediately!"
Ash clearly saw that directly behind the three Guzzlord, a distorted black hole had bizarrely opened, and another surge of violent Aura was emanating from it!
An Ultra Wormhole had opened, and something seemed to have been thrown out of the hole, with a dark tentacle relentlessly pursuing it!
"Is it a child?! Dragonite, save them, use Dragon Pulse!!"
Ash finally saw clearly: what was thrown out was actually a child about his age, and they were about to be grabbed by disgusting tentacles!
Saving the child was paramount, Ash dared not delay. He immediately urged Dragonite to rush forward, simultaneously commanding Dragonite to unleash a powerful, dragon-shaped energy blast!
Boom!
The type-advantaged energy precisely hit the tip of the tentacle, forcibly blasting it back into the Ultra Wormhole, and Ash took the opportunity to catch the child.
"Ugh..." The heavy impact made Ash grunt involuntarily. If it weren't for his superior physique, he really wouldn't have been able to catch the other person.
And the child, having endured a series of blows, had already fainted when caught.
"Could it be her?" Looking at the child's soft, lilac-colored short hair, Ash couldn't help but guess.
But now was clearly not the time to verify. After the recent commotion, that Ultra Wormhole had already begun to close!
At the same time, the command prompts in his mind began to ring incessantly again!
'Attention! Viridian Power has been generated, protagonist, please acquire it immediately!'
"Professor! Push those three monsters back into the hole... Ugh!" Ash only managed to give Oak one last warning, then he couldn't speak anymore.
Everything around him seemed to stand still, and his consciousness began to empty, involuntarily sensing the new power emerging from the depths of his heart... Viridian Power!
