Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 337: Respect for the Wise

Looking at the chaotic scene in the small area below, Shota no longer had any interest and continued to watch. After using instant movement, his figure disappeared at the top of the tower.

Nearly a month has passed since the civil war broke out in the Hoenn region. During this month, many large and small battles have taken place. The most eye-catching of these is the Battle of Shiranui City, which has yet to be decided. Daigo's regular army and Zheshui's regular army collided fiercely here.

This was once a prosperous and bustling city, located in the center of the Hoenn region.

Zijin City has tall buildings, busy traffic, developed business, and a strong cultural atmosphere... It is like a shining pearl, attracting countless people to explore and pursue their dreams.

Today, however, this former metropolis has become unrecognizable - ruins and wreckage are everywhere.

The once bustling streets are now covered with rubble and dust; the once towering buildings are now reduced to ruins; the exquisite and gorgeous shop windows are broken into pieces, and the goods inside have long disappeared; and the wide roads are covered with cracks and potholes, making it impossible for vehicles to pass... The entire city seems to have fallen into a dead silence, which makes people feel sad.

Just a few steps away, you'll see corpses of humans or Pokémon, their bodies drained of blood, some even presenting a terrifying giant appearance. The smell of corruption surges like a vicious wave, attracting groups of Murkrows to swarm in, biting and pecking at the remains crazily.

Shota walked on the dilapidated street and saw that the barrel of the Blastoise's gun had been broken in the armored vehicle. Blood was constantly flowing out from the gaps in the armored vehicle. Blastoise's cry for help was heard from inside, but not long after, the Blastoise, who seemed to have survived, died.

Just as Shota was about to leave, the sound of a gun being loaded was heard around him.

A group of soldiers in Union regular army uniforms surrounded him.

Not long after, the leader walked out of the crowd, glanced at Shota, then took out a photo from his pocket and compared it carefully with Shota's appearance.

Then he waved his hand downwards, asking his men to put down their guns, and then he made a gesture of invitation to Shota and said:

"Commander of the Third Alliance Army, I have been waiting here for a long time under the order of Lord Zheshui. Please come in."

Looking at the inclined ladder slowly extending from the armored vehicle in front of him, Shota walked up without hesitation and entered the armored vehicle.

After being on guard for a while, the surrounding soldiers also entered the armored vehicles.

The atmosphere in the car was quite serious and silent. No one talked much, and a solemn and murderous aura unique to soldiers was pervasive.

Of course, Shota is not a chatterbox, and it is better if they don't talk. He can also take a closer look at the interior of the armored vehicle.

Unlike armored vehicles in the modern world, armored vehicles in the Pokémon world are equipped with biological weapons such as Blastoise. Ordinary artillery fire is not worth mentioning in this Pokémon-centered world, or its destructive power is far less than that of Pokémon.

Moreover, the Blastoise here is not the Blastoise in the hands of ordinary trainers. They have been training the water gun move since the time of Squirtle, so that in the final form of Blastoise, the use of water cannon is already easy, and firing it is just like firing a water gun for fun.

And with the intervention of the military, their muzzles are longer than those of ordinary Blastoises, and the firing distance is almost the same as the distance at which tanks fired shells in the previous life. And the most important point is that they can intercept.

That is to say, if it is an ordinary artillery shell, the explosive inside will lose its effect once it is soaked by water. Even if it is not soaked by water by chance, the powerful water cannon released by the Blastoise can smash the missile into pieces.

Therefore, in the world of Pokémon, it is almost difficult to see the so-called tanks, airplanes, cannons, etc. in the previous life, but you can see armored tanks with Blastoise muzzles, flying freely in the sky with armor on, and using air blades and fire-breathing dragons that splash flames.

These are what Shota saw in the third database. To be honest, if this power were in his previous life, it would undoubtedly change the form of war.

However, that kind of fighting style also has an obvious weakness, which is that they only observed macroscopic things and did not find smaller and more destructive things.

But it is better this way. If there are so-called "little boys" and "big boys", the chances of success of your plan will not be very high, and it can even be said to be reduced to zero. After all, when violence checks and balances each other, only power struggles will remain.

In Shota's opinion, the schemes and scheming of those old guys are not inferior to his own, and may even be worse than his.

As for why it has come to this point today? Generally speaking, it is because one force can break all laws, or in other words, force affects the law. When the enemy's aura is disordered, the use of the law will be delayed or even not be released at all.

Just as Shota was thinking this, a slight forward lean told him that the armored vehicle had slowly stopped.

It was still the captain who was in charge. He made a gesture of invitation to Shota, but didn't say much.

Shota slowly walked down the inclined stairs from the armored vehicle, but before he landed, he saw Zhesui running towards him barefoot.

"Shota, my good commander of the Third Army, you are finally here."

Feeling the calluses on Zhesui's hands, Shota slightly pulled his hand away, but Zhesui grabbed it again.

He held Shota's hand and said:

"Come, come, come, follow me to the military camp to soak your feet. You must be tired after all the traveling. Take a rest first."

Zheshui made a please gesture, motioning for Shota to move forward.

Looking at Zhesui who was so enthusiastic towards him and smiling like a chrysanthemum, Shota certainly knew what he wanted to express. It was nothing more than being humble and wanting him to play a key role in turning the tide in this war.

Shota thought about it, acted flattered, and quickly made a tactful excuse as before, pulling his hand away from Zheshui's.

But Zheshui kept sticking to him like a dog-skin plaster.

After a moment of stalemate, it seemed that Shota finally compromised and he sighed.

So in the eyes of everyone, he walked up to Zheshui, and Zheshui followed silently behind Shota like an old butler who had served the young master for many years.
