Chapter 220 Saving the Day
"Euphorbia, use Psychic!"
"Buyi!"
In the jungle behind Golden University, an Espeon leaps and bounds through the forest, simultaneously driving away an Apollo.
But when it stops walking, you can see that its chest is shaking violently.
Clearly, its stamina was nearing its limit.
"Coach, coach, hang in there a little longer."
Ningren, still bald, was carrying Coach Arima on his back as they ran desperately up the mountain. Arima was in pain, his eyes tightly shut, his body covered in bloodstains.
Beside Ningren were a man and a woman, namely Luther and Naoko.
However, at this moment, everyone looked very worried.
"Damn it! Why is Team Rocket at school?! Poliwag, use Water Gun!"
Luther once again repelled a gas attack from a double-barreled gas canister.
His mosquito coil warrior had already lost its fighting ability in the previous battle.
Earlier, just as they were entering the school team's training area as usual, a group of Team Rocket members suddenly barged into their training ground.
The leader, a man named Apollo who appeared to be a Rockets executive, indiscriminately injured many members of the school team.
The strength they displayed was simply beyond the reach of the school team members.
If it weren't for Coach Ma's desperate protection, Ning and the others wouldn't have had a chance to escape the training ground.
However, even though they escaped to the back of the school, the Team Rocket pursuers behind them still refused to let them go and relentlessly followed them.
Now it's clear they're on the verge of losing their ability to resist.
Naoko, while supporting the unconscious Arima coach to prevent him from falling off Ningren, looked anxious.
"Why is no one coming to save us?"
Luther looked at the shadowy figures of Team Rocket's black uniforms in the woods and felt a heavy weight pressing on his chest.
"Don't you know that in traditional Chinese novels, unless the protagonist is a policeman, the police are always late when there's danger?"
"With such a massive riot at Golden University, the police system would have been paralyzed long ago."
"But we haven't seen a single police officer yet, which means that the official system of Golden City must have been paralyzed!"
It must be said that although Luther was in a crisis, his vision was still very accurate.
Upon hearing Luther's words, a look of despair appeared in Naoko's eyes.
If they were captured by the Rockets, would they be imprisoned in the gymnasium like the other students, or would they be killed in the back hills and become uncared-for corpses?
"Buyi!"
"SunEevee!"
Just as Naoko was lost in thought, Ningren shouted.
Suddenly, an Arbok appeared in front of them and, taking advantage of Espeon's momentary lapse in attention, used its tail to send Espeon and its tree flying, causing it to fall helplessly to the ground.
As Espeon was defeated, Luther's Poliwag followed suit, being pinned down by a Persian.
A member wearing a Rockets uniform approached them with a sinister grin:
"Run! Keep running! Why did you stop?"
"So what if you're members of the school team, future social elites, or upper-class individuals?"
"Under the overwhelming force of our Rockets, won't they have to bow down and submit!"
Looking at the dozen or so Team Rocket members surrounding them, Luthor finally showed a look of despair in his eyes.
Is it ultimately a matter of no return?
Perhaps anticipating his fate, Luther slowly closed his eyes, preparing to await that moment.
"Lightcloth, use 'Psychic Shock'!"
While Luther admired Ning Ren's courage to resist, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow.
Espeon has already been defeated, so what's the point of being so unwilling to accept it?
"Buyi!"
"what!"
"what!"
But to Luther's surprise, instead of feeling swords and blades, he heard screams from Team Rocket members.
At a time like this, are we still going to play along with the Ning brothers' role-playing?
These Team Rocket members are really going too far!
Luther was secretly furious.
But he soon realized something was wrong.
Why did the screams of the Rockets members continue without stopping?
"Ah! Espeon! Isn't this...?"
Luther also heard Naoko's delighted shouts beside him.
what happened?
Could it be that Ningren's Espeon forced itself to activate its special ability to protect its trainer?
Could it have turned into a Mega Espeon because of its bond with its trainer?
With a sense of impending doom and a willingness to complain, Luther opened his eyes and, sure enough, found a radiant Espeon standing beside them.
Around them was a circle of fallen Team Rocket members.
Did Espeon really unleash its full potential?
Luther looked on in surprise.
But then they realized something was wrong.
As a member of the school team, he deals with Ningren's Sun Eevee every day and is quite familiar with it.
Although the Espeon in front of me, radiating a powerful aura, looked familiar, it was not Ningren's Espeon.
Ningren's Sun Eevee is still lying horizontally not far away.
Not Ningren's Sun Eevee?
So whose Sun Eevee is this?
Luther glanced over and saw five figures appear in the woods behind the mountain.
"Lu An! It really is you!"
Hearing Naoko's joyful exclamation, Luther felt that the voice sounded strangely familiar.
Lu An?
I feel like I've heard that somewhere before?
As Luther pondered this, he finally recognized one of the people who had saved the day:
"Isn't that Investigator Ryuzawa?"
Luther was overjoyed:
"Have the investigators come to our rescue?!"
Naoko, however, bypassed Luther when he was overjoyed.
"Lu An! When I saw Espeon just now, I thought it looked like your Espeon! I didn't expect it really was you!"
"You weren't captured by Team Rocket? How did you end up in the back mountains? And you came with the investigators?"
Naoko's rapid-fire remarks almost stunned Lu An, leaving him unsure of how to respond.
Ningren, still carrying Coach Arima's back, remained calm. He slowly stepped forward, his face showing joy, but even more so, composure.
“Naoko, didn’t you see that Lu An is wearing an investigator’s uniform?”
After hearing Ningren's words, Naoko, who had calmed down, realized that Lu An's attire was completely different from his usual casual hoodie; instead, he was dressed in a more tailored outfit, similar to the others.
"Investigator?"
Naoko was somewhat surprised:
"I was wondering why you were always nowhere to be seen even though you joined the school team. So you've joined the investigators?"
Behind Naoko, Luther, whose attention had been drawn to Ryuzawa, finally recognized Lu An, who was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit and whose demeanor was completely different from before.
Luther's eyes widened immediately.
Isn't this Lu An, who single-handedly dealt with more than ten rampaging Gyarados by the shore of Far Mountain Lake, relying on Swampert?
Was it his Espeon that just saved them?
Given the strength of his Swampert, his Espeon must be quite formidable as well, so it's reasonable that it could easily defeat these Team Rocket members.
and many more.
Does that mean that the Espeon that saved the day and the Swampert from before were both his Pokémon?
