Chapter 119: Master Has Arrived
That sword is actually a Pokémon?!
As this thought arose, the leader of the poacher group only felt a sharp pain in his wrist.
By the time he came back to his senses, his right hand, which had been holding the gun, was already severed at the wrist, sent flying by a single sword strike!
Arthur had never been the type to waste words. The instant they met, he had already used his mental command to order Honedge to activate its skill.
Such a slash, swift as the wind; the move used was naturally "Fury Cutter," known for its speed.
And humans, lacking the exoskeletons and natural bodily defenses of Pokémon, meant the poacher group's leader couldn't offer the slightest resistance to this sword strike.
By the time he reacted, his right hand was already gone.
"Ahhh!! Bastard!! Kill him! Quick, kill him for me, ah!!"
The poacher group's leader collapsed backward onto the ground, screaming hysterically while desperately scooting backward with his butt scraping the earth.
Simultaneously, he pressed his other hand onto the Poké Ball at his waist, releasing his own Pokémon.
A Rock/Ground-type Geodude.
Although this leader was yelling more fiercely than anyone, in reality, what he himself was currently doing was desperately retreating.
At the same time, he continuously called for his subordinates and their Pokémon to surround and annihilate the enemy.
Swish!
To this, Arthur's response was, as always, simple and pragmatic.
The first round of the "Fury Cutter" skill hadn't even ended. He said nothing, fundamentally not bothering with any fancy, flowery threats.
Stepping forward once more, the second sword strike again descended with the speed of rushing thunder!
Clang!
However, this time, the one receiving the sword strike was replaced by the leader's Geodude.
Previously, it was precisely this Geodude that had achieved merit, using the "Rock Throw" skill to disable the heavy machine gun on the ranger's vehicle, which had then leveled the firepower disparity between the two sides.
At this moment, it once again burst with potential.
Crossing its arms, it staunchly tanked the sword strike!
A Geodude's body consists of just one round stone and a pair of arms. This type of Pokémon also has two different subspecies.
The kind that appears more often in inland regions is precisely this Rock/Ground-type variety before them.
Whereas near lakesides or the seaside, areas dense with Water-types, the Rock/Electric-type variety is more common; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to survive in an environment with numerous Water-type Pokémon.
The Electric-type variety of Geodude has a body that is entirely magnetic, while the Ground-type variety's body tends to be even sturdier.
This hardness was something Arthur could clearly feel at this moment.
His brow furrowed slightly.
The web between the thumb and forefinger of his sword-wielding hands felt a bit numb from the impact.
"Hah!"
Seemingly noticing the opponent's slight frown, this exceptionally hard Geodude flexed its arms and emitted an imposing sound.
Unlike its master...
It was a tough-guy Pokémon; its pair of iron fists never retreated!
However, the very next second, just as this tough-guy Geodude was about to achieve something, a hand shot out like lightning, quickly grabbing one of its arms.
Arthur wielded the sword with one hand, while his other hand seized Geodude's arm.
Immediately, he swung his upper arm wide, directly lifting this Geodude, swinging it in a full circle, and smashing it onto the nearby vehicle.
Bang!
A loud crash!
Geodude's entire body was directly embedded into the car's hood, and before long, antifreeze started gurgling out from beneath it...
Unfortunately, while Geodude's body was indeed hard enough, its weight was too light.
Under the control of Arthur's instantly explosive arm strength, it didn't even have time to react before it was swung dizzy and disoriented.
When it came to again, it found its body already stuck in the car's front, unable to move.
It hadn't even managed to release a single skill; it was smashed in just one exchange.
Tragic, Geodude, tragic!
Dealing with Geodude this way didn't even waste much of Arthur's time. The next moment, he continued advancing with his sword, silently pursuing the leader.
"Ah! Stop him for me!! What are you all doing?!"
The leader desperately kicked his legs on the ground, his cries becoming even more mournful.
This sound traveled hundreds of meters, leaving the group of rangers still providing cover fire momentarily extremely astonished.
They were very curious at this moment: what exactly was happening behind that vehicle over there?
The other poachers reacted slightly slower than their Pokémon by half a beat, but after Geodude was smashed into the car, they finally turned all their attention over.
Several of them quickly raised their hand crossbows.
But ultimately, only one person managed to complete a shot.
A suddenly appearing Frogadier, utilizing the shadows on the ground to complete a slide, swiftly arrived behind one person, decisively delivering a kidney strike to their lower back, then also slapping aside the weapon of another person nearby.
Previously, Arthur's Frogadier, after using "Water Sport," had been quietly lurking nearby this area. It had dug a small pit in the field, buried itself inside, and even carefully filled in the earth and stuck a plant in as camouflage, terrified of being discovered.
Because it couldn't hard-tank the concentrated fire from the dozen or so people and seven or eight guns of the poacher group.
But now, it decisively jumped out, immediately delivering a "Shadow Sneak" to one of them.
The reason, naturally, was that the situation had changed.
Because Arthur had arrived!
His master, the terrifying main combat force, had arrived!
After more than half a year of training, Frogadier now held absolutely no doubt regarding its master's combat capabilities.
Master has arrived—
His courage had all welled up.
He even dared to use a priority move to jump into a crowd and fight.
"A Pokémon! There's another Pokémon here! It's the opponent's!"
The poacher group reacted fairly quickly; someone immediately called out a warning.
Unfortunately, this couldn't help them truly solve the problem.
Frogadier was extremely slippery; its fighting style was as agile as a ninja's, leaping up and down, flitting in and out of everyone's vision, already showing some rudiments of a Greninja.
It harassed the group of poachers to no end, yet they momentarily couldn't catch him.
And at the front, Arthur, carrying his sword, was at this moment already rolling over them like an unstoppable war chariot!
The hand crossbow bolts were once again spiritually parried away by Honedge's sheath.
Simultaneously, Arthur ducked his head and continued to advance.
A Sandslash attempting a sneak attack from underground using "Dig" was sharply detected and dodged by him, then sent flying with a sword slash;
A Raticate pouncing with sharp claws and incisors had its front paws blocked by his horizontal sword, then was kicked flying five or six meters away with a straight kick;
A Scyther possessing blade-like arms met him head-on, similarly using the skill "Fury Cutter," confidently seeking a sword duel, only to be swiftly closed in on by Arthur, who, with one "Slash" from Honedge, nearly disemboweled it!
The Normal-type skill: Slash, possesses an initial power far higher than "Fury Cutter." This single sword strike in Arthur's hands could almost sever the steel-core iron pillars at the dojo!
That Scyther, in the end, if it hadn't flapped its wings and escaped quickly, would probably have become two pieces of a mantis by now.
Not a single Pokémon could block Arthur's steps!
Subsequently, when he charged into the crowd, due to positioning, the poacher group members no longer dared to randomly open fire with guns or arrows. This battle then completely devolved into a one-sided rout!
Finally, the poacher group's ace, the Salazzle with the strongest abilities, initially wanted to struggle a bit more, attempting to salvage some of her dignity as a queen.
However, under the joint guard of Frogadier and Lapras (Little Lapras), two Water-type Pokémon, she hesitated several times and ultimately didn't dare to make a move.
Watching his strongest Pokémon being suppressed to the point of not daring to move, Jin felt all his thoughts turn to gray ash, his heart filled with despair. Under a torrent of grief and indignation, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth—
And instantly, very smoothly, kneeled down.
"I surrender! I surrender! Don't kill me, I confess! I admit everything! Let me go back to jail, please!"
