A yellow streak of light shot closer at extreme speed.
Everyone looked up, and in an instant, that streak landed right in front of them.
Before anyone could react,
it had already come to a stop before the crowd.
WarGreymon's valiant figure appeared once again.
His right hand, its sharp alloy claws curled tight, was clamped around Mew's throat.
The Mew he had brought back was barely breathing, its body covered in wounds. One look was enough to tell it had been brutally beaten.
The sight made the crowd cry out in shock once again.
How long had it even been!?
It had not even been ten minutes, had it?
In such a short time, WarGreymon had not only caught up to the fleeing Mew, he had also subdued it?
That combat power
was truly astonishing!
Boom!
With a swing of his arm, Shiko hurled Mew straight to the ground.
Mew's small body slammed into the earth and embedded itself in it.
Shiko's rough treatment made everyone's hearts jump violently.
Good grief!
This was a genuine Second-tier Legendary!
Just a few minutes ago, it had seemed utterly unbeatable and had put the entire base to sleep.
How did it look so pitiful and fragile now?
Still hovering in midair, Shiko slowly descended and came to a stop beside Mew.
He lowered his head.
His cold dragon eyes stared down at Mew, filled with chilling killing intent.
The pressure of a Second-tier Legendary and the fierce pressure of a Dragon-type Pokémon surged out together, locking tightly onto Mew.
At that moment,
every still-conscious Trainer and Pokémon in the camp felt that overwhelming pressure as well.
Even after beating Mew senseless, Shiko still did not feel satisfied.
What angered him was not that Mew had destroyed two bases.
In Shiko's eyes, he had no attachment to the Military bases at all.
The two sides were only in a cooperative relationship.
What truly infuriated him was this.
Before handing Mew over,
he had already confirmed that after losing its fighting ability, Mew would not wake up again anytime soon.
But contrary to his expectations,
Mew had regained consciousness as soon as it returned to the base.
It had even caused destruction on this scale.
Was that not the same as delivering a vicious slap straight to his face?
Boom!!
He lifted a foot and stomped down hard.
The enormous force made the entire ground quake violently.
Mew's body, embedded in the earth, was jolted by that force and bounced right back up, flying two meters into the air.
Shiko suddenly shot out his hand.
Razor-sharp alloy claws extended and pressed straight against Mew's throat.
The sharp tips had already pierced Mew's pink skin, and a thin line of blood seeped out.
What the hell?
He really intended to kill it?
Everyone present widened their eyes and held their breath.
That stance, that aura.
He was genuinely about to kill Mew!
"Don't…"
Just then,
a weak voice rang out in everyone's minds.
"Don't kill me…"
Then the voice spoke again.
The crowd was startled. After exchanging shocked glances, all eyes turned to Mew at once.
Everyone knew
that as a Second-tier Legendary, Mew possessed Telepathy and could communicate with humans.
But lofty Legendary Pokémon usually disdained communicating with humans.
No one had expected that today,
the first words most of the people present would ever hear from Mew
would be a plea for mercy.
This…
was a little absurd!
"A reason."
The killing intent in Shiko's eyes receded slightly as he uttered those two words in a cold voice.
Now that he had calmed down, Shiko also knew
that keeping Mew alive was better than killing it.
A Pokémon like this, violent by nature and foul-tempered,
was a walking time bomb.
There was no telling when it might cause another catastrophe.
So,
how this creature would be dealt with
depended entirely on whether its next words could move him.
Silence fell all around.
Everyone waited for Mew's response.
Held in Shiko's grasp, Mew no longer had any spirit left.
Its dispirited face occasionally flashed with humiliation and anger, as though it were making an incredibly difficult decision.
More than ten seconds later,
as if it had finally made up its mind,
Mew's voice sounded again, trembling as it spoke.
"As long as you don't kill me, I… I can become a Trainer's Pokémon…"
