Chapter 1385: Silver Enters the Job

~13 min read 2,545 words

This series of continuous attacks could be described as reckless.

Even if the negative effects of 【Superpower】 could be weakened through training, multiple overlays would still bring significant drops in attack and defense.

What was even more critical was—

It couldn't move Registeel.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The dull impact sound was like a heavy hammer hitting fine iron; Feraligatr used all its strength, and its arms, surrounded by brown-red light, smashed toward Registeel again and again.

The vibrating air waves made the earth tremble, and the violent roar was deafening, but Registeel still remained motionless, its steel armor shining with a cold luster, without even leaving a scratch.

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

The noise here naturally attracted attention from afar.

The students' attention shifted repeatedly, and the teacher who was teaching attentively couldn't help but show a helpless smile.

He said: "Shall we quietly go over and take a look?"

This sentence received unanimous approval, and the students screamed with joy.

"Yay!"

"I've long wanted to watch a battle of legendary Pokémon at close range!"

"Shh!"

The battle course teacher hurriedly held up a finger, signaling them to be quieter to avoid disturbing the two people who were battling.

But how could the approach of thirty or forty people escape All Baimu's perception? Even if he didn't have any extra bonuses, he wouldn't be blind to that extent.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye and looked at Silver in the distance.

The other party seemed completely unaffected, silently focusing on the Feraligatr that was continuing to attack.

"Feraligatr—!"

Feraligatr roared and raised its arms, its muscles bulging like mountains, shaking slightly under the reaction force of the swing.

Registeel was a bit annoyed by this meaningless attack, "Buzz buzz buzz—Lee! Gee! Hiss!"

All Baimu sighed, "Where did you learn this tactic from?"

Silver remained silent and didn't answer.

He had to order: "Iron Head."

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

Registeel no longer endured it; its whole body erupted with brilliant silver-white radiance, like a cannonball out of the chamber, slamming fiercely toward Feraligatr, who was already showing signs of fatigue but still insisted on waving its arms!

Thud!

In the heavy muffled sound, Iron Head slammed fiercely into Feraligatr's chin and chest, causing the huge impact force to explode instantly!

Its huge body was like being hit by a heavy hammer, and it was knocked flying on the spot, landing at the other end of the venue in a near horizontal shift.

"Ferali... gatr..."

It lay prone with difficulty, affected by the defense drop of Superpower; this move almost knocked it unconscious, and its heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

The students watching from afar made low exclamations; Feraligatr's state was quite bad!

Could it be that they were going to end as soon as they arrived?

"Is there anything else you want to show me?"

All Baimu asked again, and seeing that Silver was still silent, he raised his hand and said: "Since that's the case, give it a big one, Zap Cannon."

"Buzz buzz buzz—Lee! Gee! Hiss!"

Registeel's dot matrix flickered rapidly, its arms spread, and countless fine currents instantly gathered in its palms.

They flew and intertwined rapidly, rotating, and gradually condensed into a fluorescent blue electric ball, expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Dense and violent electric arcs lingered on its surface, like countless silver snakes frantically darting about; the gravel on the ground was swept up into the air by the intense magnetic field, and a pungent, scorched smell instantly permeated the entire arena.

The watching students were stunned, not only shocked by the power of Zap Cannon, but also by the Champion's ruthless actions.

The opponent was already hurt to this extent, is it necessary?

They looked at the battle course teacher, whose face twitched, and could only say in a deep voice: "Students, remember that no matter what kind of opponent you face, doing your best and exhausting all your abilities is what can be called respect.

"Not just our Principal, Galar Champion Leon, Hoenn Champion Steven... every Champion will not choose to hold back because of your strength, but will go all out and fight to the last moment!"

While speaking, the crackling electric ball continued to expand, from the size of a fist to the size of Registeel's upper body.

The shining light made the sun look a bit dim, and the world was visibly left with only fluorescent blue.

Silver found it difficult to look directly at this giant thunder core that was about to erupt, but he could feel that invisible gaze from behind it.

He took a deep breath, looked at Feraligatr, who was struggling to get up, and his lips moved.

The next instant.

Zap Cannon carried the power to destroy the world and shot fiercely toward Feraligatr, who hadn't gotten up yet!

Boom!

A thick, pale blue electric light afterimage remained in the air, which was its trajectory.

"Ferali—"

In the blink of an eye, Feraligatr's figure had been completely swallowed; amidst the deafening loud noise, the dazzling light halo instantly swallowed the entire venue, and the violent air waves swept out like a tsunami.

Gravel and dust were blown into the air, unable to fall for a long time.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, quiet enough to be scary.

It took the students a full few seconds to adapt to the light; they looked at the smoke-filled venue, looking for the figure opposite Registeel.

They saw it.

The smoke and dust dissipated, Feraligatr stood in the gravel pile, its scales charred like charcoal, its limbs trembling uncontrollably, its breathing heavy, its eyes drifting, and faint white light dissipating from its body.

The ground in front of it was forcibly plowed into a trench several meters long and half a meter deep, like a hideous scar.

Although its state was extremely miserable, the students couldn't help but make sounds.

"Didn't fall?"

"It's still standing! Feraligatr is still standing!"

Hit by Iron Head and Zap Cannon in succession, Feraligatr actually didn't fall; this was too incredible!

Would this kind of situation really happen?

If the facts weren't before their eyes, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

All Baimu's brows tightened and then relaxed, finally laughing: "Is this a demonstration to me?"

【Endure】.

Feraligatr used this skill; very few people would let their Pokémon learn it, All Baimu let them learn it, and Silver also let them learn it.

It was even possible that the other party learned it from him.

The purpose was only one.

Silver, who had been silent, finally spoke; he gritted his teeth and whispered: "It's time, Feraligatr! Let All Baimu see our persistence! Let him know what we have learned in this year!"

"Ferali!! Gatr!!"

Amidst the roar, Feraligatr roared to the sky; when the body reached the limit, the will took it to break out of the siege!

In an instant, a pale blue halo suddenly appeared on its body; they flowed slowly like water, and burned like raging fire!

Ability 【Torrent】, triggered when physical strength drops below one-third!

The air around Feraligatr became humid and sticky, as if a rainstorm was about to come, its eyes were no longer scattered, but sharp as a knife.

The students exclaimed constantly, unable to help but shout for it.

"Go for it!"

"Go for it! Feraligatr!"

Feraligatr's performance deeply touched them, especially this courage to face the desperate situation and move forward!

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

Registeel took a step forward, the dot matrix on its face lit up together; as a legendary giant, how could it fear the opponent's roar.

Come if you want!

All Baimu gazed at Feraligatr, who was erupting in a desperate situation, his eyes obscure and difficult to understand.

Then, he saw Feraligatr suddenly open its big mouth full of fangs, and a massive amount of water flowed crazily into its mouth, finally gathering into a thick water beam like a pillar.

The water beam shone with cold blue light, stirring the surrounding air currents to whistle.

Silver ordered sharply: "Hydro Cannon!"

"Feraligatr!!"

Amidst the roar, Hydro Cannon erupted!

With the blessing of the Torrent ability, like an ancient water dragon breaking free from its shackles in the deep sea, it carried monstrous waves and whistling wind, rushing fiercely toward Registeel!

Rumble!!

The ground that already had trenches deepened again, and the gravel was carried by the water flow, turning into deadly bullets, making a harsh breaking sound!

Even the light seemed to be distorted by the water flow; the power of this attack seemed to be completely no less than the Zap Cannon just now!

"Protect!"

"Buzz buzz buzz—Lee! Gee! Hiss!"

Registeel's arms crossed rapidly, and a fluorescent blue spherical light shield lit up around its body instantly, guarding it strictly.

But the power of Hydro Cannon had long exceeded the limit that Protect could withstand.

Boom—!

The shocking loud noise made the ground tremble violently; Hydro Cannon slammed into the light shield, causing it to flicker violently in an instant, making an unbearable cracking sound, and cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.

In the blink of an eye, the light shield exploded entirely, and Registeel's huge body was pushed to slide backward for the first time by this superb impact force, and its cylindrical feet drew two deep marks on the ground.

"Buzz—"

It let out a low moan, and finally, as if it had lost the ability to resist, it put down its arms.

The water column slammed into its face!

Bang!

The sky full of water mist covered the entire venue and suddenly spread outward.

The students' faces and clothes became wet, but no one cared, just staring at the venue.

One second, two seconds.

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

As if the knell was struck, Registeel's hexagonal red dots appeared in the water mist.

The students couldn't help but show frustrated expressions.

The water mist dissipated, and they saw Registeel's current situation—

The originally arc-shaped steel shell in the front now had irregular pits, which were clearly the marks left by Hydro Cannon.

But overall, it was still standing firm, just as it was that eternal Pokémon.

In contrast, Feraligatr had exhausted all its physical strength and lay on the ground, completely losing consciousness.

Silver saw this scene, lowered his eyes, walked to its side, squatted down, and patted its body lightly, "Well done, you've been great."

Feraligatr responded to his heart, letting him hit what he wanted to show All Baimu; Silver couldn't be more satisfied.

Although it failed to defeat Registeel, it didn't matter anymore.

All Baimu patted the steel shell lightly, soothed it a little, walked to his side, and said: "Is this the result of your learning for a year?"

"... Hmm, learned from you, is it very clumsy?" Silver looked up at him, trying to keep his voice calm.

All Baimu gazed at him, and after a long time, smiled, "No, very good. Persistence, boldness, bonds, and a little bit of luck. You have already met all the necessary conditions as a strong person.

"Except for the point that you actively wanted Feraligatr to enter the limit, which I don't like very much, there is basically nothing to pick on; as Team Rocket, it's normal for you to have this kind of fighting style."

Team Rocket doesn't mean they don't cherish their Pokémon, but Team Rocket are all people who can go all out. So Silver didn't force Feraligatr, but they themselves had this kind of belief.

Launching themselves like a rocket.

All Baimu reached out to Silver, and the latter hesitated for a moment, then was pulled up by him.

"What kind of organization do you want Team Rocket to become?"

"... I don't know."

Silver shook his head in confusion.

He had never considered such things.

All Baimu said: "Your father will hand Team Rocket to you sooner or later; this is your family business."

Team Rocket in the anime was created by Giovanni's mother and passed down to him, so Giovanni in the anime wasn't the first generation, and naturally lacked some courage to fight.

He said: "I personally don't hope that Team Rocket is still like it is now; since you have already sent yourself to the door, don't leave."

Silver was stunned; this was to keep him in Oulei completely?

It was indeed.

But it was a bit different from what he imagined.

"I lack a principal assistant and an assistant for Team Rainbow; anyway, you are so free that you ran to Oulei, might as well help me do some work and get familiar with it in advance." All Baimu said with a smile.

Silver reached out, "Wait! I—"

"It is forbidden to have any objections; I will hand you the employment contract as soon as possible; you go send Feraligatr to the Pokémon Center first, and then go to the office next to mine; someone will call you to do something."

All Baimu said as he walked away, "By the way, remember to keep the phone unblocked!"

His pace was fast, and he disappeared in an instant.

Only leaving the sluggish Silver.

The watching students swarmed over, surrounded him, and comforted him: "Don't be discouraged! You are already very powerful! You have to know that the Principal is a Champion!"

"You are a transfer student, right? It's just that you look a bit old."

"Your Feraligatr is so strong! How did you raise it? Can you teach me? I am also a Water-type Pokémon Trainer!"

The chattering words drowned Silver.

Inside the teaching building.

Porygon2 complained: "You can really find tools for yourself?"

"What are you saying! I'm just letting young people take on the responsibilities they should take on! The world belongs to them in the end! What's wrong with retiring and giving way to the virtuous early?"

All Baimu, who had been principal for less than a month, said so.

Porygon2 was speechless; it found that Trainers were indeed quite good at being lazy sometimes.

Especially in the aspect of finding tools.

When All Baimu was peaceful, there were always people silently carrying the weight forward behind his back!

It used to be Looker, now he found Silver, who was young.

Suddenly.

All Baimu looked at the corner, and the Team Rocket trio jumped out suddenly, their expressions panicked.

"All Baimu! Why did the Young Master come?"

"Did he discover our whereabouts?"

"I don't want to betray Team Rocket yet..."

"Wobbuffet!"

The few of them were making a racket, forcing All Baimu to push their faces away one by one. "What's the rush? He's here to apply for a job, just like you."

"……Apply for a job?"

The Team Rocket trio looked at each other in bewilderment.

All Baimu said, "From now on, he is the principal's assistant, responsible for helping me handle school affairs. That includes you; you are also under his jurisdiction."

That part didn't really matter to them.

They just needed to know that Silver wasn't here to arrest them.

But……

Meowth asked cautiously, "What if Boss Giovanni finds out? What do we do?"

"Don't worry, I'll find an opportunity to have a chat with the child's parents." All Baimu smiled brightly, yet it sent a chill down the trio's spines.
