Chapter 309: Raging Gyarados, Give It All
Huo La watched the Stunky that surged forward at high speed, a slight smile lifting the corner of his mouth.
"Leaf Eevee, dodge, use Sunny Day!"
Leaf Eevee's lithe form flashed, easily evading the charge, while a dazzling Sunlight suddenly enveloped the entire battlefield, its brilliance blazing.
"Sunny Day? Hmph, what's the point of changing the weather?" Mu Xia scoffed.
Mu Chun gently shook his head and sighed.
He saw Huo La have Leaf Eevee use Sunny Day, and recalled that this Leaf Eevee had been trained personally by Gangshi, instantly understanding what would happen next.
"Stunky, Poison Liquid Impact!"
"Leaf Eevee, Sunlight Blade!" Huo La's tone was steady, showing no sign of panic.
Poison roared toward Leaf Eevee, which turned lightly; its tail gathered blinding Sunlight, forming a sharp blade that it flung out, cleaving the Poison Liquid Impact in half without losing force, and slashed fiercely at Stunky.
"Oops!" Mu Xia's face changed instantly, but the reaction was already too late.
The Sunlight Blade struck Stunky heavily, sending it flying away in an instant.
"Stunky!" Mu Xia rushed over. The Stunky struggled hard on the ground, but couldn't get up.
Mu Chun said in a deep voice, "Mu Xia, concede."
"Big brother, I haven't lost! Stunky can still fight!" Mu Xia shouted unwillingly.
As if responding, Stunky twisted desperately, trying to stand again.
At that moment, a Diamond Team member hurried over, his face panicked: "Field Master Mu Chun! Bad news, Mischievous Rocket King… shows signs of self‑destruction again!"
Mu Chun's eyes hardened instantly: "It's bad!"
He immediately looked at Huo La, who gave a slight nod.
Mu Chun no longer hesitated and barked to the team member: "Lock Mu Xia up; without my order, don't let him out!"
"Yes!" The two Diamond Team members immediately stepped forward and firmly restrained Mu Xia.
"Big brother! Big brother! I haven't lost—!"
Mu Chun ignored his younger brother's cries, only giving Huo La a deep look, signaling him to follow immediately.
In a valley deep within the Yingyue Battlefield, countless Mischievous Rocket Kings and Thunder Bombs were stationed everywhere, crowding the valley so tightly that there were almost no gaps.
At the valley's center, a figure several times larger than an ordinary Mischievous Rocket King stood out strikingly.
It was surrounded by a dense PurpleGoldLight, within which faint Red Light flickered; its massive body trembled constantly, each tremor exuding a hint of danger.
"That's the Mischievous Rocket King," Mu Chun pointed at the valley's center, his tone full of anxiety, "the faint Red Light on its body is the sign of imminent self‑destruction."
Huo La stared at the black, press‑crowded masses below, unable to suppress a twitch of his mouth.
The sheer number is astonishing; even capturing these Mischievous Rocket Kings and Thunder Bombs with Pokeballs would take considerable effort.
What tightened his heart further was that many of the Mischievous Rocket Kings and Thunder Bombs were also gradually emitting tiny electric sparks, clearly influenced by the king's violent aura and showing a tendency to self‑detonate.
Huo La, gritting his teeth, Hanako, said in a tone full of helplessness: "With so many Mischievous Rocket Kings and Thunder Bombs blocking the way, Field Master Mu Chun, I simply can't get close to the king."
The densely packed Electric‑type Pokemon, if approached rashly, would likely be struck by an Electric Ultimate Move before even reaching the Mischievous Rocket King.
Mu Chun immediately looked at Beishang, his eyes full of pleading.
Beishang shook his head in understanding and said gravely: "The Mischievous Rocket King is at the valley's exact center; the terrain is narrow, and the Da Niu La's size is too big to pass. Unless there's a Flying Pokemon that can carry a person around from the air."
Mu Chun nodded, his tone tinged with regret: "I do have a large‑mouth bat, but it's too small to bear a person's weight, so it's of no use."
Huo La let out a light sigh, his words carrying a hint of relief: "Field Master Mu Chun, you're lucky. If it had been two days earlier, I truly wouldn't have been able to get there."
Mu Chun's face was full of doubt, wanting to ask for clarification, but Huo La gave no further explanation, raised his hand, took out a Pokeball, and gently pressed the button.
A flash of Red Light, and a massive, entirely crimson Gyarados appeared before everyone in an instant.
"Red Gyarados!" Mu Chun's pupils narrowed, his face full of surprise.
Ming Yao and Xiao Zhao also widened their eyes in shock; Xiao Zhao couldn't help but step forward, gently touching the Gyarados's smooth scales, and curiously asked: "Huo La, is this the same one that evolved from the golden Koi King earlier?"
Huo La smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's that one; it just successfully evolved a couple of days ago. That's why I said Field Master Mu Chun was lucky—if we had arrived at the Yingyue Battlefield earlier without it, I wouldn't have been able to get close to the Mischievous Rocket King."
Mu Chun exhaled slightly, then his expression grew serious again: "Now we have a Pokemon that can carry a person in flight; the next crucial point is to beware the Electric‑type ultimate moves of those Mischievous Rocket Kings and Thunder Bombs."
"Damn it, this feels like an aerial dodge‑and‑shoot battle!" Huo La blurted, skillfully scrambling onto the Gyarados's broad back, patting its neck, then pointing to the valley's center, "Gyarados, you see? Take me to the top of the Mischievous Rocket King and drop me straight down!"
Gyarados looked in the direction he indicated, fixed on the Mischievous Rocket King radiating purple‑red light, let out a low roar, and its massive body suddenly rose, flapping its wings toward the valley's center at speed.
But just as Gyarados's silhouette appeared over the valley, the Mischievous Rocket Kings and Thunder Bombs below immediately sensed the unwelcome guest.
A blinding electric flash first cut through the air, followed by several thick bolts of lightning that hammered down like a downpour, striking straight at Gyarados.
"What the heck!" Huo La shouted in fright, clutching the Gyarados's scales tightly, not daring to breathe.
Gyarados maneuvered nimbly through the dense lightning, dodging, but the closer it got to the Mischievous Rocket King at the valley's center, the more intense the lightning became, weaving into a dense Electroweb.
Even with its swift reaction, a few tiny bolts still struck its body, delivering a searing pain.
Gyarados let out a painful roar, yet it didn't slow down; instead it became steadier, deliberately adjusting its form to protect Huo La, striving to keep him from the lightning, and bit its teeth as it charged toward the target.
"Dammit, go all out! Gyarados, Mega Evolution, give it everything!" Huo La gritted his teeth and commanded in a low voice.
Gyarados threw its head back and let out a roar that echoed through the valley, its body instantly cloaked in a dazzling light.
When the light faded, the Mega‑evolved Gyarados stood prominently in the air.
Its form grew even larger, its scales shimmering with a fierce sheen; its speed and resistance surged dramatically, carrying Huo La with an unstoppable momentum, tearing a gap through the dense lightning as it sped toward the valley's center.
"Wow! What is that? Why does Gyarados look different?" Xiao Zhao, perched on the valley edge, shouted in shock.
Beishang's gaze fixed on the crimson figure slicing through the lightning, his tone tinged with admiration as he slowly said, "That's Mega Super Evolution, which can dramatically boost a Pokemon's power in a short time; it's an extremely rare evolution method."
"Field Master Beishang, how did you know about this evolution method?" Ming Yao asked, his face full of confusion, still staring at the Mega Gyarados, unable to recover from his shock.
Beside him, Mu Chun also nodded slowly, his eyes full of bewilderment.
Beishang withdrew his gaze, gave a faint smile, and calmly explained, "The night before we tackled the Da Niu La problem, I sparred with Huo La, and he had already Mega‑evolved his Gyarados then; that's when I first learned of this rare evolution method."
