Chapter 533: A Righteous Beatdown?
Chapter 533: A Righteous Beatdown?
Under the starry night sky, the residents of Twin Dragon City and the League members were still reeling from the shock and awe of the recent events. The city, which had almost been frozen solid, witnessed the explosion of the massive aerial warship, resembling a falling meteor. The mysterious and powerful Pokemon, the combined efforts of top trainers, and Mega Gramps opening a huge spatial rift, followed by everyone working together to send the enormous warship into the rift—each scene and moment tugged at everyone's heartstrings.
"Teacher Jing He, Miss Herona, Miss Gardelia, we really owe you this time," Xatu sighed in relief.
If it weren't for Jing He's advance warning, the Plasma Team's diversion tactic would have left Xatu helpless in defending the city alone.
Viola was no match for him, but with the addition of the Dark Triangle, the combined strength of the four would have been too much for him to handle.
Not to mention the direct activation of the Plasma Destroyer and the use of Tyrantrum's Frost Cannon, which Xatu couldn't have countered.
Of course, Wan Long and Lian Wu, who had come to assist, also played significant roles.
Together, they took down dozens of Plasma Team members.
However, with Akroma's escape and the fall of the Plasma Destroyer, the Plasma Team members who had arrived scattered, and many were successfully arrested.
Herona shook her head slightly, "We were just taking a gamble."
Jing He also said, "The matter is not over yet."
Xatu's expression changed as he asked, "Is it that giant dragon that was taken away? Is that Tyrantrum?"
"Yes."
Xatu took a deep breath.
As a Dragon-type Pokemon specialist and a member of the family entrusted with the Gene Wedge, Xatu was no stranger to Tyrantrum.
In fact, his understanding of Tyrantrum was even more extensive than others.
Tyrantrum, known as the 'Strongest Dragon on the Surface,' relied on more than just its Ice attribute.
"No wonder," Xatu murmured in surprise.
No wonder the Plasma Team's Frost Cannon was so terrifying; if it weren't for Teacher Jing He's Pokemon blocking it, perhaps the entire Twin Dragon City would have been frozen.
It was also no wonder the Plasma Team dared to act so boldly.
Although Xatu had learned from Adek that Tyrantrum might have been captured, he had initially doubted the veracity of the claim, knowing how formidable Tyrantrum was and that it wouldn't be easily caught.
However, the facts were undeniable, and he had no choice but to believe.
Given the circumstances, Xatu looked deeply at Jing He, imprinting the young trainer's image in his mind.
While everyone else was chasing after the Plasma Team members in Treasure City, this young man had discovered the Plasma Team's true target, whether by guess or coincidence, it didn't matter.
What mattered was that, despite the Plasma Team's grand display of force, including the use of Legendary Pokemon, he had single-handedly halted their advance.
Even when the Plasma Team, desperate and reckless, abandoned their giant warship and attempted to destroy Twin Dragon City with the Legendary Pokemon, it was Jing He who led the effort to prevent the catastrophe.
From Xatu's perspective, Jing He truly deserved the title of 'hero.'
"Teacher Jing He," Xatu's expression turned solemn, "I think this item should be entrusted to you for safekeeping."
Jing He turned to Xatu, noticing the object he held, and his expression tightened.
The Gene Wedge!
This was the treasure that Xatu's family had guarded for generations, a mysterious item said to be related to the Twin Dragons of Truth and Ideal. According to legend, only a true hero could gain its recognition and wield its power.
However, after all these years, Xatu's family had never produced such a 'hero.'
"So, the Plasma Team was after the Gene Wedge in Mr. Xatu's possession," Gardelia realized.
It was unclear what the Plasma Team intended to do with it.
However, it was foreseeable that whoever possessed the Gene Wedge would become a target of the Plasma Team.
The Twin Dragon City incident was just one of the Plasma Team's attempts, and they might strike again after lying low for a while.
Thus, the Gene Wedge, though precious, was now a hot potato.
"Teacher Jing He," Xatu's face flushed with embarrassment, "I know that possessing this item may invite harassment from the Plasma Team, but I believe that with your strength and abilities, you can protect it."
Jing He lightly rubbed his temple.
Was this just a matter of harassment? Holding this item might even attract the enmity of Jirachi or Reshiram.
As for the Plasma Team, without Genesect or Tyrantrum, they wouldn't be able to cause much trouble in the short term.
Perhaps it wouldn't be long before the Plasma Team fell apart.
"Moreover," Xatu added after a brief pause, "if that was indeed Tyrantrum earlier, the Gene Wedge might provide some assistance."
Upon hearing this, Jing He's expression shifted slightly.
After all, Tyrantrum, Jirachi, Reshiram, and the Gene Wedge all shared a common origin.
If one possessed the Gene Wedge and could use it, it might become the key to communicating with Tyrantrum.
Jinghe turned to Herona and Gardelia.
Herona nodded slightly, "If Mr. Xatu says so, you should accept it."
She had also done some research and investigation on the Gene Wedge in the past, and she had a certain understanding of the legends surrounding it.
If the Gene Wedge was still in Mr. Xatu's hands, there was no telling when Twin Dragon City would face another such calamity. By then, it might be too difficult to stop it.
As for Jinghe, Herona believed that his abilities were sufficient to protect it, and if not, she was still there to help.
She would lend a hand.
Of course, there was one more thing.
"The Gene Wedge is quite helpful for Dragon-type and Ice-type Pokemon."
Was there such a claim? However, in the games Black and White, the Gene Wedge did not exist as an item, but instead, there was something called the "Keystone," which corresponded to Tyrantrum's Dragon Stone.
But in the games Black 2 and White 2, the Gene Wedge, to some extent, replaced the "Keystone," which was the Dragon Stone.
Dragon-type and Ice-type? Jinghe's thoughts stirred slightly.
Undoubtedly, it would be more suitable for the Rapid Dragon and Ice Nine Tails.
With the conversation having reached this point, Jinghe indeed had no more reasons to continue refusing.
"Since that's the case..."
He took the Gene Wedge, "Then I'll borrow the Gene Wedge from Mr. Xatu and see if it can play a role in calming Tyrantrum."
"Great!!"
Xatu accepted Jinghe's request to "borrow" it.
It was all the same anyway.
As long as he took over, it would be up to him whether he wanted to return it later, and if he did, it would depend on whether Xatu was still around.
As for Jinghe, the Gene Wedge and such, after this World Championship was over, he would just return to Hoenn.
Hoenn and Unova were worlds apart, and if they wanted to, Tyrantrum, the Dragon of Truth and Ideals, could just come to Hoenn.
"Then I'll leave this to Mr. Xatu, and I'll go check on Tyrantrum." Jinghe said solemnly.
"We'll go too."
Herona and Gardelia said simultaneously.
Tyrantrum's power was immense, and although it had been taken away by Mewtwo, it wasn't far from Twin Dragon City.
In fact, due to Tyrantrum's influence, the snow in Twin Dragon City had yet to stop.
Xatu nodded heavily, "I can only entrust this to you."
He was truly stretched thin.
Not all Plasma Team members in Twin Dragon City had been arrested, and although the unrest had lessened significantly, it was still ongoing.
As the mayor of Twin Dragon City, he had to ensure the city's recovery.
Of course, it was also because he felt that his presence might not be of much help.
In the previous clash with Viola and the Dark Triangle, most of his Pokemon had exhausted their strength.
It was better not to be a burden.
"Okay!"
Jinghe and Herona exchanged a glance, then looked at Gardelia.
Gardelia pouted.
She placed her hand on Jinghe and Herona's shoulders.
Buzz—
Teleport!
The distance wasn't far, and with Mewtwo's Psychic as a coordinate, Teleport was the fastest method, although it was uncomfortable.
"Huh?"
When the three of them left,
Wanlong and Lianwu hurried over.
"Master Jinghe and the others..."
Xatu naturally expressed his gratitude to them as well, and then briefly recounted the situation.
And so,
Wanlong and Lianwu decided to help Xatu completely calm Twin Dragon City, arrest the Plasma Team members, and wait for Jinghe and the others to return.
At the same time,
In a forest outside Twin Dragon City,
"Calm down!"
Mewtwo covered its entire body with Psychic, forming a spherical barrier like a ball, and it solemnly resisted Tyrantrum's Ice-type shockwave.
It could be seen that
The place where they were located had already been completely covered in ice and snow.
Furthermore, the cold air was still spreading to the surroundings, and the entire forest was experiencing a snowfall.
"Roar!!!"
Tyrantrum's eyes were bloodshot, and it roared wildly.
What should they do? The moment Jinghe and the others appeared here, they thought they had returned to the top of Crown Mountain.
It was even more intense than before.
Jinghe was also very troubled.
He hadn't anticipated that Akroma would give Tyrantrum so many "excitement tests" and then release it.
Unfortunately, before the Plasma Destroyer could be sealed into the spatial rift, Tyrantrum fully awakened and escaped. Otherwise, if it had been sent to the World of Ruin, there might not have been such a big problem.
Giratina: ???
"I don't know."
Jinghe took out the newly acquired Gene Wedge and tried to infuse it with Wave Guide Power, "I don't know if it will work."
"Jinghe, we're here!!"
At that moment,
The sound of horse hooves could be heard.
It was Kailu and the three Saint Swordsmen!
During the Genosect incident, they were injured, so Jinghe didn't ask for their help, but now, with the Tyrantrum incident, they had recovered from their injuries.
Just in time!
They could perform a righteous mobbing!
"Yay!" Tyrogue's eyes lit up.
My Red Hare is here!
Buzz—
The Gene Wedge, which had just been infused with Wave Guide Power by Jinghe, suddenly trembled slightly.
Hmm? Tyrantrum, in the midst of its frenzy, paused for a moment.
At the same time,
In a distant tower, a milky white orb gently swayed twice.
