"Hehehe, not bad, not bad. As expected, a tiger father has no weak sons." A cold voice reached Alex Carter.
After a slight change in his expression, Alex looked up and saw a person wearing a cloak and a hat, with a scarf even wrapped around his neck, revealing only a pair of eyes. He was standing on a giant bird Pokémon, currently smirking and staring coldly at Alex.
Alex's heart sank. His Pokémon had just gone through a fierce battle, and naturally, they didn't have much stamina left to fight again.
However, this man clearly meant trouble, and a strong sense of crisis emerged in Alex's heart. Moreover, this person was dressed similarly to the previous three, clearly belonging to the same faction. It seemed he was here for revenge.
And he had appeared so silently nearby. He must have been hiding all along, waiting to watch the show.
"Ding, a Unova Region Pokémon has appeared 30 meters above.
Mandibuzz, a Dark/Flying-type Pokémon, is the evolved form of Vullaby. Mandibuzz is a cunning Pokémon that observes the ground while flying, selecting weaker targets to attack. However, it shows a gentle side towards Vullaby, even if they are not its own offspring. It enjoys preying on weaker Pokémon, with Cubone being its favorite food.
Combat Power: 1200 points.
Learned Skills: Air Slash, Brave Bird, Dark Pulse, Tailwind, Knock Off, Bone Rush, Peck, Hurricane."
"...What? Another Pokémon not from the Kanto Region. The origins of these people are quite suspicious..." Alex thought, frowning at the system's prompt.
"You brat, you are truly strong, and your aptitude is among the best. Among so many rookie Trainers, you are completely outstanding, able to win under the siege of those three. Your final strike even utilized their psychological relaxation, achieving victory by surprise. Truly impressive..."
"I haven't seen such a strong Trainer as you in a long time. No wonder you are the one chosen by the higher-ups, but it's a pity." The man's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"But it's a pity, you won't live past today. I don't intend to let someone like you leave, only to ruin our big plans later or seek revenge on me."
"Remember, never touch what doesn't belong to you. Mandibuzz, use Hurricane to sweep him into the sky, then use Air Slash to strike him down. I want to personally watch such a proud person die in despair. Hahahahahahaha."
Suddenly, the giant Pokémon shrieked, and its two massive wings flapped violently. In just a few movements, a powerful storm had formed, heading directly towards Alex and Haunter.
At this critical moment, Alex suddenly flashed out, appearing in front of Haunter. Alex forced a slight smile at the corner of his mouth: "Haunter, I still remember how mischievous you were when I first caught you? You only agreed to be my partner under duress from my methods."
"But, I'm truly happy to have met you. Having you all with me is probably the most memorable thing I've experienced during this time. Coming into this world, I don't feel any regret."
"It's just you, you must continue to live well..."
With that, Alex turned, spread his arms, and stood firmly in front of Haunter.
Haunter froze in place. To be honest, at first, it also felt very indignant. Why was this person so mean to him, forcing him to become his Pokémon?
Later, through their gradual interactions, he slowly realized that Alex was actually a very good person. He could see that Alex had made great sacrifices for his smooth growth.
And now, he was standing in front of him. How lucky was it to meet such a Trainer? There are countless Trainers in the world, but besides Ash in the anime, who else would be willing to die for their Pokémon like this? Very few.
Haunter held a Poké Ball in each hand, one for Muk and one for Beedrill. Its hatred was overwhelming, and it had never hated itself as much as it did now for not having enough power to protect its master.
Alex glanced at Haunter, urging him to leave. Then he smiled and said: "I'm very happy to have met you all. The situation is urgent now, go, escape!"
At this moment, it was as if a faint light enveloped Alex's entire being. Haunter, holding back tears, ran downwards. Below was the small stream, where a shiny Magikarp and a Tentacool were floating with the ripples on the water's surface.
In this instant, every little memory between Alex and them seemed to resurface before their eyes. They saw Alex, who cared for them meticulously, Alex, who was mischievously charming when doing bad things, and Alex, who was occasionally soft-hearted and kind. How unfair it was.
Haunter and the others all cried out, as if to scream out this injustice.
"Hmph, I didn't realize your bond with your Pokémon was so deep. I hate pretentious Trainers like you the most."
"Such a scene will probably never be seen again." The man snorted, watching the storm in front of Alex get closer and closer.
Suddenly, the river water began to boil, and two white beams of light shot up into the sky. Then two roars echoed, shaking away the weaker Flying-type Pokémon nearby.
Two powerful auras suddenly rose from behind Alex, and intense rage almost permeated the entire area. And the Hurricane that was about to hit Alex was blocked by transparent Light Screens. The great danger in front of Alex was resolved so easily.
"What, what's going on? Is this kid being protected by a strong person? No, impossible. His father is already like that, who would protect him?"
The man standing on Mandibuzz couldn't help but frown, "It seems I underestimated this kid."
Then a strong gust of wind swept across the ground and shot up into the sky, even making the Mandibuzz sway a bit. The man narrowed his eyes and looked closely, only to find that two larger Pokémon had appeared behind Alex.
A completely Red Gyarados was staring angrily at the person in the sky. And on its head was Alex's Haunter, also staring at him with hatred.
"Gyarados and Tentacruel? And a Red Gyarados at that? How do you have a mutated Magikarp?"
The man pulled off his scarf, looking as if he were facing a formidable enemy. Unexpectedly, at this moment of life and death, it was the two Water-type Pokémon Alex had released, now evolved, who returned to save his life.
As for the reason for the man's apprehension, it was naturally the legend of the Red Gyarados.
