Chapter 523: Spicy Heaven!
Turning to face the little dragonfly, Linda didn't hesitate. She summoned one of her main Pokémon, an Electivire.
"Electivire, use Ice Punch!"
She ordered the attack decisively!
However, Linda's only thought at the moment was to try and force back this dangerous Flygon. She recognized it as the same one that had raised its hands in the sandstorm earlier, declaring it would make everyone know pain. It was likely the instigator of this entire attack! Its strength was not to be underestimated!
But to her surprise, faced with the attack, the little dragonfly simply fled.
"Elec?"
Even Electivire, mid-punch, was momentarily stunned. It could sense the opponent's powerful aura. Even though Ice-type moves were doubly super-effective against Flygon, a single punch shouldn't have been enough to make it retreat without a fight. Did I become this strong? Electivire shyly rubbed its bald head.
Behind it, Linda also had a moment of doubt. But time was of the essence, and she couldn't dwell on it. A more dangerous "air raid" had already reached the vicinity of the Seed warehouse.
BOOM!
With a tremendous crash, the warehouse roof was forcefully punctured!
A massive, spherical boulder shrouded in dark energy fell from the sky like a high-explosive shell, whistling through the air at incredible speed before slamming into the warehouse floor with a deafening thud!
As the dust settled, everyone realized—it was a Rock/Ground-type Golem!
Having tucked its limbs and head into its shell, the Golem was essentially a ball. It had been hurled by the Dynamaxed Tyranitar using the Dark-type move Fling, effectively turning it into a high-velocity projectile! The dark aura surrounding it was the Dark-type energy from the Fling move. Upon landing, the black aura instantly turned into a blinding white light.
This Golem was clearly also a connoisseur of art. Without a second of hesitation, seeing itself inside a human facility, it immediately unleashed its ultimate move: Explosion!
Art is an explosion!!
BOOM!!
Caught near the blast zone, Linda let out another furious curse. "F*ck!!"
This was the third time she had uttered that single syllable in a short span. It wasn't that her vocabulary was lacking; it was just the most heartfelt expression of her feelings...
Relying on her Pokémon's protection to withstand the intense indoor explosion, Linda coughed violently. Ignoring the loss of the decoy Pokémon in the warehouse, she hurriedly ordered, "Quick! To the secret chamber! Move the Seeds!!"
She was truly racing against time. The fact that the thrown Golem had already reached here meant the front lines were collapsing faster than she had anticipated. They had been caught completely off guard. Under the cover of the sandstorm, hordes of wild Pokémon, hopped up on adrenaline, were swarming their positions. With Linda absent from the front lines to direct the defense, the perimeter had crumbled almost instantly!
The desert Phantoms had truly redeemed themselves with this battle!
"Move!! Move!! Faster!!"
"Everyone who can still move, get inside!!"
Her trusted aides ignored the fate of the troops outside and rushed down into the underground chamber where the real Seeds were kept.
But when the lights came on, Linda was dumbfounded.
There, once again, was that mischievous little dragonfly!
As they entered, the little dragonfly even gave them a friendly wave. Hi~
"..."
Unfortunately, Linda was in no mood for greetings. "Bastard!! Get it!!"
In the secret chamber, all the Seeds had been locked in special cages, deeply sedated, and many were even chained. It should have been foolproof!
But now, a sight that made Linda's eyes bulge with rage unfolded before her—most of the cages had been destroyed!
And the Pokémon inside were recovering under the nourishing glow of green light! The move: Grassy Terrain!
Flygon couldn't learn Grassy Terrain naturally. But at this moment, the little dragonfly was wearing an inconspicuous little pouch on her waist. Linda had initially dismissed it as decoration. But inside were Poké Balls!
That's right. The little dragonfly was temporarily playing the role of a trainer, bringing several Pokémon down with her in Poké Balls! Five Maractus were working together to maintain Grassy Terrain, while a Vileplume was using Aromatherapy to heal the Seeds.
Since when do wild Pokémon use Poké Balls?!
No one had time to ponder this question, because Linda had already given the order. "Focus fire! Kill that Flygon first!"
At the same time, she ordered her own Pokémon—Ampharos, Electivire, Raichu, and Magnezone—to collectively unleash Electric Terrain!
Terrain moves, like weather moves, were mutually exclusive. Only one terrain could exist in an area at a time. Linda intended to use Electric Terrain to overwrite the Grassy Terrain created by the Maractus, thereby cutting off the healing effect! Grassy Terrain indiscriminately healed all grounded Pokémon within its range, and this group healing had to be stopped!
As for who would attack after her Pokémon used Electric Terrain, Linda wasn't too worried. Her trusted aides also had Pokémon. And her earlier encounter on the surface, where the Flygon had fled from a single Ice Punch, had led her to underestimate it. A Flygon that's afraid to take a single Ice Punch can't be that strong, right? My subordinates should be able to handle it... right?
But just as the thought crossed her mind, the little dragonfly gave a sly smile and proceeded to teach Linda a lesson she wouldn't forget!
She was slippery, yes! And calculating! And cunning!
In Arthur's team of brute-force fighters from the past, she had been one of the few with a rational mind. Even if she often used that mind to figure out how to slack off...
But—even back then, the little dragonfly could confidently pat her flat chest and say: I'm not weak at all!
She hadn't earned the name "scoundrel dragonfly" throughout the desert just by being a freeloader and a trickster!
The moment the humans made their move, she flapped her wings and vanished from their sight in the blink of an eye, moving as fast as lightning!
Before coming here, the little dragonfly had also prepared herself, stacking her buffs! Unlike the shameful Garchomp, Flygon was very proficient in Dragon Dance!
With four stacks of Dragon Dance, even a human with a gun would have a hard time threatening her. They simply couldn't aim fast enough.
In less than a breath, she had penetrated right into the center of Linda's group! Seizing the moment when Linda's four main Pokémon were all on cooldown, she landed and slammed her palms onto the ground!
