บท 140: Team Aqua Attack

Ice Island.

Sitting on Salamence's back, Sigana stared at Hisoka below with gloomy eyes. The smile on his face seemed to be mocking her. She didn't expect to be discovered by him.

She sighed, "Oh well. Go down, Salamence."

Since she was already discovered, she decided to confront Hisoka head-on.

Hisoka held his ground amidst the howling wind as Salamence plunged toward him. His hair swayed wildly from the gale.

Suddenly, Salamence stopped a few meters away from him. They were separated by a deep, narrow gorge.

He crossed his arms and stared at the girl on Salamence's back.

"Salamence, huh? I didn't expect to meet a strong trainer like you in Team Aqua."

One of the two semi-legendary Pokemon from Hoenn, Salamance, was so rare that many people couldn't even hope to see one in their life. To fulfill its long cherished dream of flying in the sky, many young Bagon in the wild died prematurely before they could evolve.

Seeing the majestic Salamence in front of him, he felt a twinge of envy.

'So cool.'

He suddenly felt an urge to travel to Hoenn to capture a Bagon.

Meanwhile, Gardevoir stood guard next to him. Her red eyes were glowing in intense blue light. She had completely entered the fighting state. As long as Hisoka ordered her, she would unleash her prepared Psychic blast.

"I also didn't expect a person like you could have the Gardevoir from Hoenn."

Sigana said in appreciation. Gardevoir was quite rare in Hoenn due to their ability to sense emotion.

Even so, she still didn't back down. She was confident in her own strength, not to mention that she had the support of Team Aqua behind her.

He took a step forward and raised his head toward her.

"Are you from Team Aqua? Can you please let me go? I don't think I ever met you before."

She was stunned by his reply. She never thought that Hisoka would surrender so soon. Soon, she erupted into a fit of laughter.

"Haha. Sure. I can let you go. But please leave all your Pokeball first."

His expression remained unchanged at that. He shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Then there is nothing to talk about."

"You don't have any choice."

Sigana sneered in contempt. She had the air superiority of Salamence. The advantage was on her side.

Hisoka didn't bother to reply anymore as the smile on his face disappeared instantly. He hurriedly took a few steps back while gesturing with his hand.

Suddenly, Weavile, who had been hiding this entire time, leaped out from the trees toward the Salamence in the sky.

A gust of wind came, and in the minus ten degrees environment, the cold had slightly affected Salamence's perception of danger.

Weavile hand curled into a fist. She pulled her hand back as the cold air lingering in the air gathered around her fist. She mobilized the Ice-type energy and threw a punch at Salamence.

Alarm bells rang in Salamence's mind. It looked below and finally saw Weavile rushing toward it with her glowing blue fist. In desperation, it tried to fly away to avoid Weavile's punch.

Bang!

The Ice Punch landed on Salamence's body. Immediately, she grabbed its leg and kicked its body to distance herself away. She quickly reached the ground and disappeared in place using Quick Attack.

But just as she disappeared, a raging flame fell from the sky. A large fireball struck the place where she was standing just now. The ice on the ground melted as steam filled the air.

Roar!

Salamence's angry roar shook the sky as the snow started falling down the mountain, nearly causing an avalanche.

At this time, Salamence had fallen into a frenzy as it flew around the sky wildly.

There was a large scratch near its neck. It was covered in frost, blocking the wound from healing. The icy cold and the stinging wound made the Salamence scream in pain.

If it wasn't for Sigana desperately trying to appease it, it would already rush toward Weavile, who attacked it just now.

"Salamence, calm down."

Sigana clung to Salamence's wings for dear life.

"Calm down, Salamence, or I'll die."

"Ha! Ha!"

Salamence gasped heavily. Its anger had cooled off as its eyes became focused. It clenched its jaw and broke the ice on its neck with a blast of Ember from its mouth. It trembled slightly from the burning pain.

Sigana looked at her Salamence in worry and turned toward Hisoka with cold eyes.

While the Salamence was thawing out the ice, Hisoka quickly retrieved Weavile into her Pokeball. He then glanced at Gardevoir beside him.

She nodded in understanding and grabbed his hand. Blue light flashed in her eyes as ripples of psychic energy covered both of them.

Shortly after, they disappeared from view.

"Are you trying to run away?"

Sigana gritted her teeth in anger. She put a hand in her pocket, took out a Pokeball, and tossed it into the air.

Chirp!

A blue swan-shaped Pokemon whose whole body seemed to be wrapped in white clouds appeared in front of her.

***

Lightning Island.

Boom!

A bolt of yellow lightning pierced the dark sky covered in thick clouds.

"Oh my god!"

The participants around were shocked by the scene in front of them. Their faces turned pale. A few of them had already turned around and fled. They didn't want to stay on this island anymore.

The other participants even wondered whether it was worth it to find the glass ball or not. Their scalps tingled just by looking at the dense lightning flickering in the clouds.

Nonetheless, many people still wanted to find the glass ball. Not only could they get the Magnet as the prize, but they could also gain fame for bringing back the treasure. For them, it was a worthwhile risk.

"How are we going to find the glass ball on this island?"

"I'm leaving. This place is too dangerous. I don't want to get zapped.

"Me too. That is real lightning. We will die instantly If we are struck by that."

However, some people still hesitated.

"Hmph! Cowards! If you don't want to enter, then hurry up and leave. Don't block our way."

The crowd moved aside as a man with a mohawk hairstyle walked past them. A somewhat contemptuous smile plastered upon his face.

There was an arrogant shout from the crowd, and the men in front were pushed away with brute force and almost fell.

A few steps behind him was a woman with round curves and an enchanting face. She also had the same smile on her face.

Meanwhile, Will stood at the back, watching the farce in front of him calmly. The eyemask on his face made it impossible to discern what he was thinking at this moment.

"Let's go first."

The man said to the woman behind him. After that, he pulled out a Pokeball and threw it on the ground.

Following that, a huge silvery-gray Pokemon appeared in a flash of red light.

"Roar!"

Its body was made up of rock-like sections, which had long rock spikes coming out of them on either side. It had a massive head with a large, wide jaw with sets of large square teeth inside.

It was Steelix, a Steel/Ground-type Pokemon, and the next evolution form of an Onix.

After they both climbed on it, he told the Iron Snake Pokemon to head into the island.

As soon as they left, the rest of the crowd followed suit. There were also a few people leaving the island. They were only here to join in the fun. They hastened their footsteps after the thunder boomed in the sky once more.

Seeing that the farce was over, Will smiled. He inclined his head slightly and soon disappeared without attracting much attention. Just a few seconds before he disappeared, a short figure with a hooked beak appeared behind him.
