Chapter 1012: UB03: Lightning

The Shen family's power plant.

After Su Hao left, Shen Zishan paced into the machine room. Seeing many machines that had been sucked dry and broken by the Magnemite and Magneton, he couldn't help but sigh.

Shen Meizhuang returned a step later than him. Looking at her father's decadent and spineless appearance, her face turned stern. She slapped Shen Zishan's back hard and said, "What are you moping about? If the money is gone, we can just earn it back."

"Zzzzzzt—"

Just as Shen Zishan was about to retort, suddenly, a sound like an electric current rang through the entire machine room, followed by a burst of rapid and bright electric sparks flashing across the machines.

Accompanied by the rising smell of something burning, the lights flickered on and off.

Before Shen Meizhuang could start checking where the problem was, the flickering lights and machines seemed unable to bear the burden and completely extinguished and stopped. After a loud stopping sound, the entire power plant fell into darkness, and the power plant shut down.

At this moment, the expressions of both Shen Zishan and Shen Meizhuang froze.

Especially Shen Zishan; "grief-stricken" was no longer enough to describe his current sorrow. He just felt his breath tighten, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted from grief.

"Dad!" Although Shen Meizhuang was startled, she wasn't enough to faint like Shen Zishan.

After calling out a few times with no response, Shen Meizhuang gritted her teeth. Looking at the pitch-black environment, she still bent down to hoist up her spineless old father, intending to leave here first to settle him down before going to check the main switch.

Shen Meizhuang carried Shen Zishan out of the machine room step by step and came to the outdoors. As she expected, all the facilities in the power plant had shut down.

This was no longer a question of whether or not to lose money; if she wasn't careful, she would be investigated by the Alliance for malicious power outages and sabotage, and might even face a lawsuit.

However, considering that this incident was caused by the "violent behavior" of the Magnemite and Magneton, the Alliance shouldn't turn a blind eye.

Shen Meizhuang carried Shen Zishan to her Jeep, intending to take him to a nearby hospital first.

After finally putting Shen Zishan in the back seat, she sat in the driver's seat and immediately intended to turn the key to start the engine.

Suddenly, Shen Meizhuang looked up at a spot not far outside the car window, where an object stood motionless, looking somewhat like a human-shaped wire.

In an instant, cold sweat soaked Shen Meizhuang's back. She opened her eyes wide, watching in disbelief as the object began to sway, then leaped onto the cables connecting the power plant. Its flexible body wrapped around them, and dazzling blue electricity began to burst forth.

Following its movements, the lights and machines of the entire power plant kept turning on and off, and countless currents surged toward it.

How could Shen Meizhuang not know that the real culprit was the unknown Pokémon in front of her!

Seeing bright blue light shining from the Pokémon's copper-like hands, Shen Meizhuang quickly started the engine and stepped on the gas pedal. The entire Jeep rushed out like an arrow from a bow.

The next second, a bright blue attack composed of pure electricity roared in, and the massive energy blasted a large crater where the Jeep had been parked a second ago.

Shen Meizhuang felt as if her heart was about to jump out, her mind filled only with the desire to escape this place.

However, the mysterious Pokémon relentlessly raised its hands, and the bright blue light locked onto the Jeep's trajectory. The next strike... would definitely hit!

At the moment of crisis, a silver meteor came from afar, hitting the mysterious Pokémon like a cannonball, knocking it off the cables and blasting it into the open space in the distance.

Shen Meizhuang didn't know who had made the move, but she knew that in this situation, this place was not a place for an ordinary person like her to stay for long. In order not to make the Pokémon that had intervened have to worry about protecting her, Shen Meizhuang chose to accelerate and drove the Jeep in the opposite direction to escape.

"A wise judgment; this is the reaction a normal person should make."

High in the sky, Su Hao, riding on Hisuian Braviary, curled his lips, feeling that Shen Lingyun's sister's judgment was truly excellent. Being powerless is not terrible; what is terrible is knowing you are powerless but still charging forward, even causing trouble for others.

Shen Meizhuang's action saved him a lot of trouble.

"Next, it's time to see how to deal with you..."

Su Hao lowered his eyes

and looked at the Pokémon that had been blasted into the ground by Metagross and still looked like nothing had happened. This physique was much stronger than the Pokémon of those university students at the University League.
