Chapter 455 The Fall of Sakaki
Well known.
If a Pokémon has very balanced base stats, it is often referred to as having a "barrel waist".
Although he can do a lot of things, he is not proficient in any of them.
But when its total base stats reach a certain level, it becomes a true all-rounder.
The most typical example is Arceus.
The highest stat of most Pokémon is not as good as its lowest stat.
Moreover, this is game data with even smaller differences.
The reality is even more unimaginable.
While Bictini may not be as powerful as Arceus, the creator god, she is certainly a well-rounded warrior.
Especially with the added benefit of the "Victory Star" synergy.
Although the little guy has almost no combat experience, it has learned from the experience of Meowha, Master Bear, and even Penglan.
Those battles where he faced legendary Pokémon head-on, those life-or-death moments on the brink of death, all became invisible nourishment, making Victini's level and stats ridiculously high.
So if this attack hits... not to mention Sakaki.
Even if someone from Super Pallet Town came, they'd have to lie down right away!
However, just as Victini was about to rush into the attack range, a huge purple figure blocked its way.
Nidoran!
Those cold eyes were fixed on Victini, and his thick right arm swung down suddenly.
Arm hammer!
boom-
Victini's body came to an abrupt stop in mid-air, and the V-Blazing Flame collided head-on with the Arm Hammer.
Immediately, the blazing white and deep purple energy exploded!
It must be said that Nidoking truly deserves to be one of Giovanni's most formidable generals.
The moment they made contact, there was an apparent tension between them, as if they were evenly matched.
Nidoran's thick, purple arms were bulging with muscles and veins, while flames burned intensely before her petite white body, their light dazzling.
The two figures remained locked in a stalemate in mid-air!
About two seconds later, Victini's V-Blaze finally overwhelmed Nidoking's Arm Hammer.
The legendary elf base is there, plus the added bonus of the Tongzi brother's bond.
Even though Bictini is significantly lower in rank than Nidoking, its raw strength is still superior.
The blazing white flames advanced inch by inch, gradually devouring the deep purple energy.
Nidoran tried his best to maintain it, but the flames were too domineering.
boom-
The energy of the arm hammer exploded with a roar, and the V-Blazing Flame headed straight for Nidoking's face!
At the critical moment, an unexpected change occurred.
Just as Victini was about to break through Nidoking's blockade, another Pokémon behind her tacitly completed a coordinated defensive maneuver.
Nido Queen!
The blue behemoth had somehow circled around to the side, its thick arms outstretched, and a dark green energy barrier instantly formed in front of it.
Hold on!
boom-
The V-Flame, whose energy had been largely depleted, slammed into the defensive barrier.
The blazing white flames relentlessly eroded the barrier, causing it to tremble violently, and cracks spread at a visible speed.
But they managed to hold on in the end.
When the flames subsided, the protective barrier shattered with a deafening roar.
At the same time, the energy of the V-flame was completely exhausted.
Victini hovered in mid-air, her large eyes filled with resentment.
It was so close.
King Nido and Queen Nido stood side by side, their chests heaving violently.
Above the ruins.
Sakaki's face was extremely grim.
He never imagined that the seemingly harmless little thing would be so terrifying.
It took Nidoking and Nidoqueen working together to barely block its attack.
If it weren't for the perfect teamwork between these two old buddies, he would already be a corpse by now.
Sakaki took a deep breath and scanned the battlefield.
In the distance, Palkia was still being ganged up on by Groudon and the other Pokémon.
Further away, Dialga, Yveltal, and Giratina were still locked in a fierce battle.
Clearly, the situation is already quite dire.
His original plan was to have the legendary spirits summoned by Hoopa hold off Xia Chi's main force, while he could reap the benefits.
The results of it?
Of the five legendary spirits summoned by Hoopa, four were restrained and one was turned against him.
Xia Chi's side was not only not tied up, but also had the spare capacity to send people to launch a sneak attack on them.
Meanwhile, on their side, their strongest Mewtwo was entangled with Milton and couldn't break free.
Nidoking and Nidoqueen had just blocked an attack and were greatly exhausted.
Although there are still some cards left to play.
But how many times can you use your trump card?
Sakaki's gaze swept over the ruins not far away.
There, dozens of figures were quietly emerging; they were all elite members of Team Rocket.
He was originally prepared to clean up the mess after Hupa defeated Xia Chi.
At this moment... the plan has changed.
With this in mind, Giovanni no longer hesitated, leaped up, and landed steadily on the back of Corviknight.
"Walk!"
He whispered.
At the same time, the elite members of Team Rocket stepped forward and threw dozens of Poké Balls simultaneously.
boom-
Dozens of white lights exploded, and Crobat, Weezing, Arbok, Muk... a host of Team Rocket's signature Pokémon swarmed out of their Poké Balls.
Instead of rushing towards Bictini, they surrounded it.
With their strength being at most at the Gym level, it's wishful thinking to think they could defeat... or even just hinder Victini.
But they can still be used as cannon fodder to buy time.
Victini was surrounded by dozens of elves, her face full of anger.
"Tini!"
Its right claw rose, and the flames reignited.
But the elves never confronted it head-on.
The cross-bats tumbled and weaved in the air, but never entered the attack range.
The dual-gas system emitted thick smoke, obscuring visibility.
Arbok roams the ground, occasionally feinting a shot.
They are dragging.
Delaying for one second is one second gained; delaying for two seconds is two seconds gained.
Their mission is accomplished as long as they can hold out until Giovanni is safely evacuated.
But Victini wasn't the only one attacking Giovanni.
Yui watched the figure riding the Steel Crow and taking off, and let out a soft hum.
"Hmph...Trying to escape?"
Her right hand pointed to the sky, "Royal Swallow!"
As soon as the command was given, the deep blue streak in the sky suddenly changed direction.
King Yan's sharp eyes were fixed on the figure on the back of the Steel-Armored Raven.
Immediately, its wingtips folded, its body straightened, and it swooped down like an arrow released from a bow!
Swallows return!
Although Yui has been farming on Keido Island since leaving the Lava Team, her skills have not diminished.
On the contrary, because she was right next to Xia Chi, her growth rate was even faster than when she was still one of the three executives of Team Lava.
The "Fire Goose" period.
As her signature Pokémon, Swellow has long since broken through the Gym level barrier, and its strength is approaching that of the Champion level.
At this moment, the Great Swallow was moving at its fastest speed, leaving a white trail of air in its wake.
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from behind him, Sakamoto didn't turn around, but instead waved his right hand once more.
Another Poké Ball was thrown.
boom!
A burst of white light.
A massive figure, entirely deep blue with wings like blades, appeared behind the Steel Raven.
Salamence!
And it's a Salamence with Champion-level strength!
Those scarlet eyes were fixed on the swooping giant swallow, its massive jaws agape.
Dragon Pulse!
boom-
The deep purple energy beam collided head-on with the Great Swallow's Swallow Return.
The Great Swallow was blasted backward, tumbling several times in the air before finally regaining its balance.
Those sharp eyes were filled with resentment.
It tried to charge again, but the Salamence was already blocking its way, its scarlet eyes staring coldly at it.
Want to go back?
You'll have to get past me first.
On the back of the Steel-Armored Raven, Sakaki gritted his teeth.
His right hand gripped the empty Poké Ball tightly, his knuckles turning white.
He believed this operation was foolproof.
He didn't bring any of his capable and powerful lieutenants, such as Ma Zhishi and A-Ju.
The purpose was to keep the operation secret.
Who would have thought that not only would the plan fail to be completed, but he would also be forced into such a predicament.
Salamence blocked Swellow.
Although this Salamence wasn't his last trump card, it wasn't far off.
Fortunately, Xia Chi's backup plan wasn't strong enough.
Yui is indeed very strong, but does she really think she can keep me here?
Perhaps you're overthinking it.
A sinister glint flashed in Sakaki's eyes.
Xia Chi, Xia Chi... you will pay the price for this underestimation.
If only I had another chance...
As Sakaki was thinking this, the space around him suddenly distorted.
A fissure resembling an abyss suddenly burst open without warning. The fissure was as black as ink, with ominous purple light emanating from its edges, as if it connected to some unknown and terrifying world.
Immediately, a ghostly claw emerged from it, its fingertips gleaming with a chilling light, and headed straight for Sakaki's back.
A stealthy attack!
After all, he was a powerful figure who had dominated the underworld for decades, and that sense of life-or-death crisis was ingrained in his very bones.
Almost instinctively, Sakaki suddenly lowered his head.
The ghostly claw whizzed past his scalp!
Cold sweat instantly soaked through Sakaki's back.
He turned around abruptly and was startled to see a petite, grayish-purple figure slowly emerging from the void.
Wings flap and launch!
Those scarlet eyes were now staring at him with a rather amused expression.
Sakaki's mind went completely blank for a moment.
Damn!
Wasn't this guy just fighting Palkia?
When did you sneak over here?
But Sakaki had no time to think.
Because that ghostly claw had changed direction and was attacking again!
Almost instinctively, Sakaki's right hand reached for his waist.
The last Poké Ball is thrown!
Bang! A burst of white light!
A colossal dragon, its body a deep blue and radiating a terrifying aura, appeared beside the Steelraven.
Garchomp!
As soon as it appeared, a deep purple energy condensed into a huge phantom at the tip of its claw, heading straight for Zhenyifa to slash.
Dragon Claw!
Just as the dragon's claw was about to strike, an orange-yellow figure suddenly crashed in.
Speedy!
Dragonite!
Caught off guard, Garchomp was sent flying sideways by the impact.
A glint of light flashed in Zhenyi's scarlet eyes.
There was no need to spend time gathering energy; in the blink of an eye, a series of shadow orbs appeared in front of him and then shot out like a barrage of bullets!
One after another, purplish-black energy spheres trailed dozens of eerie trajectories in the air.
Heading straight for Corviknight... or more precisely, heading straight for the figure on Corviknight's back!
In Sakaki's suddenly contracting pupils, the group of shadow spheres continued to enlarge.
Before they could even react, the swarm of shadow orbs had already arrived.
boom-
The first Shadow Ball struck the Corviknight's wing, exploding with dark energy and the crisp sound of the wing bone breaking was clearly audible.
The Steel-Armored Raven let out a mournful cry and its body suddenly tilted to the side.
Then, the second, the third, the fourth...
A series of Shadow Balls landed perfectly, hitting their mark every time!
The purplish-black energy exploded one after another on Sakaki's body, each explosion accompanied by a burst of blood.
It drifted in the night wind, its scarlet color glaringly bright.
Giovanni's body trembled violently on the back of the Steel Crow.
He looked down at the black hole in his chest that was expanding rapidly.
The purplish-black energy was eroding his body.
His life was being drained away madly from that black hole.
Sakaki opened his mouth, as if to say something.
But in his throat, there was only the gurgling sound of blood and foam gushing out.
His vision began to blur.
In a daze, countless scenes appeared before his eyes.
I saw my younger self standing in front of the Changqing Dojo.
I saw the look of surprise on my son's face when he first summoned Nidoran, when he was still a boy.
I witnessed Team Rocket grow from a small underground organization into a behemoth spanning Kanto and Johto.
I have witnessed countless battles on the brink of life and death, and countless victories where the tide turned in the face of adversity.
I saw it... that figure riding on the back of a Dragonite.
Summer Pond.
The young man was watching this place from afar.
There was no joy, no excitement, no satisfaction in those calm eyes, no sense of triumph over a successful revenge.
Only peace.
It was as if they were looking at something that was destined to happen.
Sakaki's lips twitched slightly.
So that's how it is...
His consciousness began to fade.
Finally, what came into view was that small, grayish-purple figure.
Sakaki's body slowly slid off the back of the Steel Crow.
That once powerful figure fell silently in the night wind.
It immediately crashed onto the ruins, raising a cloud of dust.
A powerful figure has fallen.
far away.
Xia Chi, riding on the back of the Dragonite, slowly withdrew his gaze.
Just as Sakaki saw before he died, his face was not very expressive.
There was only tranquility.
He learned from Loz's last words that Sakaki was also involved in the plan.
This scene had already been rehearsed countless times in his mind.
Even with obstacles like Mewtwo coming to the rescue or Hoopa appearing along the way, the outcome will not change.
Because his power has already surpassed that of this former underground emperor.
Just as his Rockets expanded wildly and ruthlessly to satisfy his ambitions, it was simply a reversal of the original intent.
It's perfectly normal for someone who believes in the law of the jungle to die at the hands of someone stronger than them.
Even though this biggest villain, who has been a main character in almost the entire Pokémon series, has a strong personal charisma, Xia Chi will not show any mercy.
After all, Xia Chi is just a spectator in both games and anime.
And this real world that he is experiencing now is the one that needs to be protected.
At a distance, the remaining Team Rocket members who witnessed Giovanni's death almost immediately stopped resisting.
Perhaps only Masato and a few others who regarded Giovanni as their spiritual idol were still putting up a last-ditch resistance, even rushing madly toward the direction where Giovanni had fallen.
But they were powerless to change the overall situation.
With the death of Giovanni, the soul of the team, Team Rocket, this behemoth, will inevitably collapse.
All that needs to be resolved is Him in the sky.
Xia Chi looked up at the enormous figure that exuded an ominous, deep purple aura.
Beside him, the sixth... and the last magic ring, slowly began to rotate.
