Chapter 481: Battle with the Explorer Team Executives (2)

Lubeila's face looked ugly as she walked onto the field, Yindi stepped straight onto the battle arena, not even glancing at her, raised his hand and tossed a Pokeball: "Your big talk fell flat, now it's my turn! Go, Mischievous Thunder Bomb!"

A white light hit the ground, and a Mischievous Thunder Bomb with a white‑and‑blue body appeared at the center of the arena.

"Oh? A Shiny form," Huo La raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing it.

"Hahaha, good eye," Yindi laughed brightly, "This Shiny Mischievous Thunder Bomb has been by my side ever since I captured it, a rare stroke of luck for me."

Huo La turned his head to glance at the data on the Rotom Phone, and sighed helplessly.

This Mischievous Thunder Bomb is quite strong; he had originally intended to send out his own Mischievous Thunder Bomb to fight, but now it was clearly impossible.

After a brief consideration, he raised his hand and threw a Pokeball: "It's decided, Fireburst Beast!"

Red Light flashed suddenly, and the Hisui‑form Fireburst Beast stepped onto the arena, immediately raising its head and emitting a deep, resonant roar.

This was its first battle after arriving in this timeline.

Previously, the Hisui Pokemon Pokeballs in Huo La's hand had been upgraded by the League to modern models, and now they could finally appear without any hindrance.

"Is this… Fireburst Beast?" Yindi stared at the Pokemon with a vastly different form, momentarily stunned, "Could it also be Shiny?"

"It's not Shiny," a cool voice came from the side of the arena as Spinel walked closer, "This is an ancient form that vanished long ago in the river of history."

Huo La turned his head toward him, nodded in agreement: "Exactly, this is a form unique to the Hisui Region a thousand years ago, with Fire and Ghost attributes."

Everyone had already heard of Huo La's unusual experiences, and they readily accepted his words.

Yindi's eyes lit with battle intent, rubbing his fists together, "Interesting! Then I shall truly experience it—what power does this extinct form possess? Mischievous Thunder Bomb, activate Electric Terrain!"

The command issued, the Mischievous Thunder Bomb suddenly emitted dense Electric Light around its body.

Threadlike ElectricArc raced along the ground, and in an instant the entire battle arena was covered by roaming Electric Light, with golden glimmers flashing everywhere.

Watching the arena beneath his feet as tiny ElectricArcs flickered and roamed, Huo La's expression grew increasingly solemn.

The opponent opened by directly laying down a field buff, showing how much Yindi valued this duel.

In ordinary battles, the opening is usually a probe or a direct strong attack, but he chose to first set Electric Terrain to stabilize the situation; his fighting style leans toward steady and reliable, making him extremely hard to deal with.

"Electric Terrain augmentation is indeed an excellent foundation," Huo La's eyes narrowed, he said in a deep voice, "However, my Fireburst Beast can also gain a boost from the terrain!"

"Fireburst Beast, Wild Charge!"

The moment the command fell, Yindi flinched slightly, having not expected Huo La to be so decisive.

In the center of the arena, the Hisui Fireburst Beast surged, surrounded by dense violet Electric Light, becoming a high‑speed afterimage that rushed fiercely toward the Mischievous Thunder Bomb. Benefiting from the Electric Terrain boost, its speed surged again, so fast it almost left a phantom.

"Not good!"

Yindi's heart tightened, he muttered low, and in the haste had no time to organize a counterattack, only gritted his teeth and ordered: "Mischievous Thunder Bomb, Protect!"

A transparent defensive Light Screen instantly sprang up, just blocking in front of the Mischievous Thunder Bomb.

Boom— a muffled roar!

The Fireburst Beast, wrapped in raging Electric Light, slammed its Wild Charge into the barrier; the impact shook the Light Screen violently, just like the previous match's duel.

The assault halted abruptly; the Fireburst Beast pushed off its feet, its body suddenly pivoted sharply, with no aerial gap at all.

Huo La's follow‑up commands came in rapid succession, crisp and decisive: "Thunder Punch!"

The Fireburst Beast's right fist instantly gathered a heavy violet electric aura; the Electric Light crackled, bearing thunderous force, and slammed straight at the still‑unsteady Mischievous Thunder Bomb.

The Mischievous Thunder Bomb couldn't react at all, taking the full blow; the massive impact hurled it backward, sending it rolling across the ground several times before it finally came to a halt.

"What a swift transition, the attack swap was flawless."

Yindi's expression hardened completely, setting aside all contempt, and in a deep voice commanded: "Mischievous Thunder Bomb, Electroweb!"

Stabilizing its stance, the Mischievous Thunder Bomb's Electric Light surged, and it raised its hand to weave a dense, tight golden electric net, instantly enveloping the Fireburst Beast and tightening to imprison.

A myriad of raging currents surged through the Electroweb, forcefully pouring into the Fireburst Beast's body, completing suppression in an instant.

"Electroweb lockdown…" Huo La's gaze narrowed, and he immediately commanded: "Fireburst Beast, Dig!"

The Fireburst Beast's claws flashed, swiftly digging into the ground; in an instant it excavated a hole, leapt, and burrowed into the earth, vanishing completely from sight.

"Mischievous Thunder Bomb, guard against underground Surprise Attack!" Yindi shouted, his gaze fixed on the entire arena, fully concentrating on any ground movement, ready to counter at any moment.

Not long after, the ground behind the Mischievous Thunder Bomb suddenly split open with a crack.

Claws shrouded in eerie ghostly aura burst from the earth, reaching straight for its back!

"Mischievous Thunder Bomb, Rollout to counter!" The Mischievous Thunder Bomb immediately curled into a ball and rolled rapidly, using its momentum to slam into the incoming claws.

A sharp, screeching friction sound rang suddenly across the arena, as the two forces collided violently.

The Mischievous Thunder Bomb's rolling momentum halted abruptly, and the Fireburst Beast landed and steadied itself, the positions of the two Pokemon having completely swapped.

"A remarkably strong battle sense..." Huo La thought inwardly.

Yindi was nothing like a typical organization Executive; instead he resembled a dedicated, battle‑loving top Trainer. His on‑the‑spot judgment and reaction speed were beyond what most Trainers could achieve.

"Fireburst Beast, retreat and create distance, Spirit Bomb, fire continuously!"

The Fireburst Beast's steps repeatedly retreated, and its hands consecutively formed several energy balls surrounded by a dark aura, whistling as they shot forward.

"Choosing a ranged restrain?" Yindi narrowed his eyes and immediately ordered, "Mischievous Thunder Bomb, Thunderball, meet head‑on!"
