Chapter 119 The Chivalrous Savage Bass
Chapter 119 The Chivalrous Savage Bass
"Forget about them, let's get those two Pokémon first!"
The Megalodon raised its head and let out a hoarse roar, squeezing out its remaining water-type energy as it charged towards the dying red Gyarados and white striped Bass!
Clearly, Ah Chao was considering quitting and planned to take the opportunity to escape, but he needed to secure these two targets first.
"Snow Fairy, freeze its path."
Upon hearing this, the Snow Fairy floated out, and with a light wave of her sleeves, a "freezing ray" silently swept across the waters in front of the Megalodon, causing the lake surface to freeze with a "crackling" sound.
The speed at which the ice spread was visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, a 20-meter-wide ice surface was laid out.
The Megalodon was moving too fast and too fast to stop, and crashed headfirst into it.
The ice surface trembled violently, and cracks spread wildly from the point of impact, shattering into many pieces. The Megalodon was also jolted by the impact, stopping and shaking its head.
At the very moment the Snow Fairy made her move, three shadowy figures appeared simultaneously on her sides and behind her, revealing a pair of twin swords, a tattered leather suit, and an armored warrior covered in eerie flames.
The blades of the twin sheaths emitted a dazzling silver light, the Mimikyu's wooden tail flicked up and was enveloped in a dense green glow, while the Azure Blade Demon's flames stretched several meters across its two bladed arms. All three of them simultaneously descended upon the Megalodon's head, back, and tail fin.
The combined attack of the three Pokémon almost blocked Sharpedo's escape route, leaving it with no choice but to endure the blow despite its severe injuries.
"Throat~~"
Energy surged wildly, and Sharpedo's body was enveloped in Dark-type energy, turning it completely black. It then twisted its body violently, single-handedly fighting against the combined attack of three Pokémon.
"Bang!"
The violent collision generated a powerful shockwave, which stirred up water waves that spread outwards.
It and the three Pokémon were all sent flying backwards at the same time, making it a close fight.
But at this moment, Megalodon was exhausted by Swellow and was even on the verge of its limit, yet it was still so powerful, which shows how big the gap is between the "Gym Leader" level and above.
The next moment, before the Megalodon could regain its footing and recharge, a bright green arrow, a jet-black energy sphere, and a jet-black energy pillar entwined with vengeful spirits shot towards it simultaneously, then crashed down hard.
At this point, Megalodon was truly out of the fight; both its energy depletion and physical injuries rendered it unable to continue battling.
Ah Chao was well aware of this; rare Pokémon were desirable, but he couldn't risk his life for them.
His gaze swept over the red Gyarados and the white-striped Savage Bass once more, the greed in his eyes finally replaced by a hint of resentment.
"I'm so unwilling to accept this, but since I can't have it anyway, I might as well destroy it!"
Ah Chao immediately ordered all Team Aqua members and Pokémon to begin fighting and retreating, then rode back on his returning Sharpedo and said:
"We're leaving now, but before that, let's take care of those two prey."
After saying that, before fleeing, the "Gym Leader-level" Megalodon unleashed a jet of black energy, striking the white-striped Bass and the red Gyarados.
Because of the haste, the "Dark Pulse" attack was not aimed accurately, nor was it intended to defeat both Pokémon in one hit.
Ultimately, the "Dark Pulse" missed the larger red Gyarados and instead struck the Savage Bass that had deliberately appeared to help it.
The severely injured savage bass had no strength left to escape. Its body was swallowed by the "Dark Wave," then it was swept away and smashed through the water along its path, eventually embedding itself hard in the giant rocks on the shore before falling back into the water after a while.
Lin Ye, who was very interested in it, hurriedly ran to check the situation and found that the savage bass's body was already badly damaged.
The remaining intact parts were also corroded and charred black by the impact of this "evil wave".
Its mouth opened and closed weakly, but no sound came out; the excruciating pain from its shattered spine left it without even the strength to scream.
The fish's tail thrashed weakly against the water, each thrashing lessening, and its eyes visibly lost their luster.
"Oh dear, this fish is badly injured. I'm afraid even if Joey came, it would be too late to save it!" Gastly shook its head and said.
At this moment, the red Gyarados also swam over, dragging its mangled body, its big eyes looking at the Savage Bass with incomprehension.
Immediately afterwards, Goldeen, Poliwag, and other aquatic Pokémon popped their heads out, all looking at the Savage Bass with grateful and sad eyes, but deliberately avoiding the red Gyarados, as if they were very afraid of it.
"Strange~, the aquatic Pokémon in these protected lakes seem to be very friendly to the Savage Bass, but at the same time they seem to be afraid of this Shiny Gyarados. But the two were just fighting side by side. Something's not right. Froslass, can you ask them what's going on?"
In no time at all, Lin Ye's personal translator, Snow Fairy, completed the inquiry and reported back to Lin Ye!
It turns out that this red Gyarados is the tyrant of this body of water, and has been ruling this water since it evolved.
Savage Bass is the force that balances it out. Although its energy level is much lower, it has always tried its best to protect the other aquatic Pokémon.
He was even seriously injured several times while rescuing Pokémon being bullied by Gyarados, making him a recognized hero in this area.
Just now, its old rival Gyarados was seriously injured under the siege of Team Ocean. When it was about to be defeated, it stood up to help the evil dragon that had seriously injured it several times, and resolutely defended the chivalrous spirit it adhered to!
"I see. No wonder the red Gyarados looked at it with such mixed feelings of guilt."
As Lin Ye thought this to himself, he also felt a deep admiration for this kind-hearted and chivalrous perch.
"Master, I noticed you were quite concerned about this fish earlier, perhaps trying to tame it. But given its condition, can you really save it?"
Zoroark was also very impressed with the strength of this savage bass, and couldn't help but lean closer and ask anxiously.
"What a joke! This big fish is almost dead; it's definitely beyond saving."
"That's because you haven't seen the master's ability to turn the rotten into the miraculous!"
Zoroark, remembering that it was Lin Ye who gave him a new lease on life, still had some confidence.
Lin Ye used his mental power to scan it carefully and found that this fish was not the same as the little fox from before.
At that time, although Zoroah's physical life was almost extinguished, his soul was very active, especially driven by resentment, which made it extremely solid.
At this moment, the Savage Bass was being ravaged by the "Evil Pulse" attack, which had just struck, damaging both its body and soul. Even its soul fire was now extremely weak.
But the next moment, some special energy fluctuations began to surge around them, like the fluctuations of a soul.
"Huh~, what is this energy~~"
Lin Ye tried to use necromancy to sense things, but in the next moment he saw many scenes of aquatic Pokémon before their deaths, all of which were related to the Savage Bass.
These soul powers belong to the innocent aquatic Pokémon that were just caught in the crossfire of the battle and died tragically. They had all received the favor of the Savage Bass.
At this moment, the last consciousness of these Pokémon souls transformed into energy and gathered around the Savage Bass, seemingly wanting to thank the righteous person who had selflessly helped them all along.
"Perhaps there really is a chance!"
Lin Ye's heart stirred, and his hands flew into hand seals. At the last moment when the savage bass's soul was about to completely dissipate, he gathered the surrounding soul power and poured it into its body!
