Chapter 141: Anime Crossover: Pokémon - Starting from Hunter x Hunter, Chapter 65

Suddenly, his figure vanished from the spot, like a ghost, leaving only a lingering afterimage.

When Pride reappeared, he was already before Luo Ge, his grotesque face displayed to the fullest.

He was going to kill Luo Ge!

Luo Ge's expression did not change, even as Pride rushed close to him.

He had far too many abilities to preserve his life.

Luo Ge raised a prop he had prepared long ago, holding up a red card before Pride's eyes.

Immediately, Pride's pupils trembled; the resentment within his body suddenly froze, solid as stone, impossible to mobilize even a fraction.

He could no longer use his abilities!

【Red Card】: Upon display, it forces an enemy to halt their ongoing attack; the exact duration depends on the power gap between both sides.

"Is that all?"

"Then I shall accept it with pleasure."

Luo Ge said calmly; those two short sentences sounded so terrifying to Pride's ears.

Is that all?

Accept what?

Pride did not know.

He only knew—he was finished.

"ROAR!!"

Nidoking stood behind Pride, spewing a pillar-like column of white smoke, then its massive fist was bathed in orange-red light.

Fighting-type move—Superpower!

BOOM!!

Pride was suddenly punched by Nidoking into the ground; his entire body was instantly driven into the earth, buried deep beneath, turned to minced meat.

A vast amount of experience points surged toward Nidoking and Gastly.

The reason Gastly received a share was because Gastly had used 【Mean Look】.

The experience points also symbolized Pride's death.

Thus, not a single one of the three, including Pride, survived.

The dust on the battlefield settled.

Luo Ge nodded slightly; today he had gained much.

Not only had he captured the 【Magnetic Badge】, but also copied Pride's Nen ability.

He also reaped a large sum of resources, causing Feebas to evolve into Milotic.

Besides that, another Pokémon was about to evolve.

Luo Ge picked up the single sword sheathed at his waist, suspending it in midair; the azure ribbon danced in the wind.

Suddenly, another beam of white light familiar to everyone enveloped the single sword, causing its body to begin changing.

The single sword was evolving.

Previously, the single sword had more experience points than the Mask of the Crying Child.

This was because Luo Ge often used it to attack within the 【Beast Forest】.

Later, the Mask of the Crying Child defeated Bisigi, obtaining huge sums of resources, which allowed it to surpass the single sword in one stroke and evolve first.

However, the single sword was also nearing the edge of evolution.

Today, the single sword finally crossed that threshold, evolving into the next stage.

"Another evolution?" Bisigi murmured.

Everyone held their breath, watching this hard-won scene in silence.

Every evolution is precious.

The white light did not last long; after a few breaths it began to fade until it vanished, revealing a brand-new form.

After evolving, the single sword became a pair of twins, splitting into two swords crossed in an X shape.

Named—Doubling Sword Sheath.

The color of the eyes and ribbon changed to magenta.

A shield appeared on its back; the two sword sheaths and the shield seemed fixed together.

The two swords would constantly alternate between attack and defense at a dizzying speed to subdue prey.

To withstand the complex continuous attacks launched by the two swords would be impossible even for a master swordsman.

Luo Ge extended his hand; the Doubling Sword Sheath floated automatically into his grasp, feeling more solid.

After becoming two, its operability increased greatly.

He could wield both swords to attack, or hold one himself while the other attacked automatically...

The shield carried by the Doubling Sword Sheath could not be used yet; it must wait until its next evolution to become usable.

At that time, the 【Aegislash】 would be a terrifying existence.

Balanced offense and defense.

It could freely switch between the sword form for attack or the shield form for defense in an instant.

Even if needed, he could make the Doubling Sword Sheath evolve into Aegislash right now.

Because he happened to possess the item required for evolution—the Dusk Stone!

However, considering this was reality, not a game, it was best to give the Doubling Sword Sheath some time to stabilize its strength.

Using the 【Dusk Stone】 later would be better.

As the enemies fell one after another, the black fog lingering over Carter Port's sky gradually dissipated, and the earth became clear once more.

Overall, this attack caused little damage; only a small portion of the buildings in Carter Port were destroyed.

More than that, the ground was littered with the wreckage of beasts and machines, waiting for people to deal with them.

On a hillside not far from Carter Port,

the Qingbing Team watched the black clouds dissipate, knowing this operation had failed.

"Pfft!"

"Cough, cough!"

Almost instantly, the several people who had just activated their abilities spat out several mouthfuls of slightly darkened blood, their faces pale and lifeless.

At the same time, the hair beneath their black robes rapidly turned gray, and obvious wrinkles appeared on their faces.

Their life force was draining away rapidly.

They had made a vow, but failed to fulfill it, so they paid the huge price of their lifespan.

Although they were still alive, they were not far from death.

The leader's face was extremely grim; after casting one last glance at Carter Port, he led his companions away.

Since matters had come to this, he could escape as soon as possible.

If they stayed here any longer, none of them would be able to leave!

Because after this incident, the Lierenxie Society would definitely send people over.

At the highest level of the Lierenxie Society,

Netero stood before a huge floor-to-ceiling window, letting sunlight pour over him.

Making him shine brilliantly.

Yet behind him, an even longer shadow was cast, covering a larger area of darkness.

This was the opposition of light and dark.

Where there is light, there will be darkness.

"Qingbing Team... Jed..."

Netero clasped his hands behind his back, lowered his eyelids, and murmured to himself, his eyes filled with memories.

Bisgi's phone call made him recall the events of those years.

As the President, he had personally led his subordinates to purge the Qingbing Team.

The captain of the Qingbing Team was named Jed, who was also his close friend.

In the past, they competed against each other.

Finally, it was decided that he would serve as President, while Jed would hide in the shadows, becoming the Society's dark side.

One in the light, one in the dark, the two made the Lierenxie Society flourish and grow continuously.

Unfortunately, just like in a vulgar novel plot, they eventually walked onto opposing paths.

The increasingly brutal actions of the Qingbing Team forced him to make a firm decision.

He personally dealt with his old friend.

But he did not expect that the Qingbing Team, which should have been purged, still had remnants.

Today, they even exposed themselves voluntarily.

The reason was to destroy Carter Port.

There was obviously a deeper motive behind this.

First, naturally, it was to take revenge on the Lierenxie Society.

Second, they chose Carter Port as the location for destruction; perhaps...

"President, could it be that they know the upcoming arrangements for Carter Port, which is why they chose to destroy it there?"

Netero's secretary asked.

Although called a secretary, it was not a human; strictly speaking, it was a type of demon beast.

A plant-type demon beast.

This plant-type demon beast is called "Bean-Faced Man"; it is short in stature, with a huge pea for a head, possessing a cartoonish art style.

Bean-Faced Men are extremely rare in number.

Their intelligence is extremely high, far surpassing normal humans, so they can handle complex official duties.

Netero rarely handles affairs himself, basically dumping them all on the honest Bean-Faced Man secretary.

Netero stroked his beard, watched a bird soaring high outside the window, and his gloomy expression returned to normal.

"Ho ho ho, perhaps."

"Bean, announce it: the arrangements for Carter Port will proceed as planned; do not make any changes because of this."

"We will not walk according to their wishes."

"The vast Lierenxie Society cannot be led by the nose by them."

"Yes, I understand."

The Bean-Faced Man nodded and left the office, walking on its short legs.

Leaving only Netero alone, talking to himself.

"Luo Ge, huh..."

"Truly looking forward to it~"

"Ho ho ho ho..."

On the Uruvia Continent,
