POKEMON : STARTING WITH FLASH METAGROSS

It's not surprising that Marowak won.

However, Rax was also deeply impressed by Riolu's super perception and agility.

When it evolves into Lucario in the future, Rax believed its strength would have a qualitative leap.

Ali helped Riolu up. Although she was disappointed, she was not discouraged. Her mentality was very good.

"Thank you for the advice. Riolu and I have learned a lot from this battle."

Riolu on the side also nodded. Marowak's strength made it yearn for it.

"It's just a competition. Riolu is also very good. I look forward to its evolution."

"Well, Mr. Rax, can you leave your contact information? We will fight again in the future!"

Ali lowered her head. This was the first time she took the initiative to ask for a boy's contact information.

"Okay."

Facing the future gym leader of Veil City, Rax was very happy.

After the two sides exchanged numbers, Ali did not leave immediately. She seemed to be hesitating about something.

"Anything else?"

"Um..."

Seeing Rax's question, Ali immediately answered and started talking.

It turned out that Ali's father, Tsukishima Lee, had just passed the application for gym trainer and had located the gym in Veil City.

However, Veil City has many mountains and steep roads, and its development has always been mediocre, resulting in few trainers going to Veil City to obtain badges.

Therefore, Ali usually invites good trainers who are collecting badges in EMI City to visit Veil City.

Rax nodded, thinking it wasn't something difficult.

If he challenged a gym, the Veil Gym would naturally be within Rax's consideration.

However, among the eight gyms in the Sinnoh region, only the Black Gold Gym, EMI Gym, and Nohara Gym were familiar to Rax.

The other gyms were newer, not appearing in the original work.

It seemed the gyms were updated very quickly.

After separating from Ali, Rax handed Marowak to Nurse Joy for recovery, and then headed east, preparing to cross the mountain range in the middle and northern parts of Dianyuan Mountain.

On the way, Scorbunny replaced Skiploom and became Rax's daily Pokémon.

Scorbunny has high potential but had received little training and battles, so it was perfect to accumulate experience through wild Pokémon on the roadside.

Not long after leaving Baidai City, a Murkrow suddenly jumped out and blew a strong wind without saying a word.

Rax crouched down and appeased Scorbunny, who wanted to attack immediately, and the Poké Ball in his hand was already clenched.

"Put the energy cube in your mouth to replenish your physical strength at any time. Listen to my command to use sparks later."

Rax whispered, and a pink and purple light flashed in his eyes.

Although he couldn't use telekinesis yet, Rax could still enhance his perception through mental power.

Soon, Rax sensed more than one breath of Murkrow in the strong wind.

Being targeted?

Rax was confused. He didn't think he had offended anyone in Baidai City.

However, after confirming that there were only two breaths in the wind, Rax had an idea.

At the moment when the strong wind weakened, Rax's command sounded.

"One o'clock, two meters up!"

"Scorbunny!"

Scorbunny, who had been ready for a long time, kicked out sparks at the first time, and turned the corner while passing through the strong wind and hit Murkrow at 11 o'clock!

Murkrow screamed, and the strong wind dissipated, but Rax's eyes were fixed on the position of the second breath.

A man with ordinary looks, who would not be noticed if thrown into the crowd, appeared.

He obviously didn't expect Murkrow's strong wind to be broken so quickly, and he didn't expect Rax to even look at him like this.

"Murkrow, retreat!"

Seeing that things were impossible, the man walked decisively.

But Rax grinned.

I can walk whenever I want, and Darkrai can't do it, so why can you?

"Marowak, shoot it down!"

A red light flashed, and Marowak came out waving a bone stick, and a rock flew out and hit Murkrow's wings accurately.

Murkrow screamed again and fell straight to the ground.

Seeing this, the man ran faster!

However, Scorbunny was not slow either. It caught up with the man in a flash and hit him hard on the waist.

The man fell out violently and barely stopped with the brakes on his face.

Rax walked over with two Pokémon.

The man who turned over suddenly knelt down and begged loudly.

"I was wrong, I was possessed! Don't kill me~~~ I was wrong... I was wrong..."

Rax frowned and didn't get close.

The man prayed for a long time, but Rax didn't pay attention to him. He glanced at him silently.

"Tell me, what do you do?"

"Steal... steal things."

"You call this stealing?"

Rax pointed at Murkrow, who was pretending to be dead and laughed angrily.

"You have violated the laws of the alliance by commanding Pokémon to attack humans without authorization. If you want to say anything, go to Nurse Joy."

Seeing the man was embarrassed and timid, Rax didn't really want to take his life. He wasn't a murderer.

"Please... please! I have a seriously ill daughter, and my wife ran away. I robbed the money just to save my daughter, I..."

When he heard that he was going to see Nurse Joy, the man became even more excited.

He knelt down and cried while crawling to Rax's feet.

The next moment, the man drew a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed Rax's upper left waist fiercely.

Rax was shocked and turned around to avoid it subconsciously. The dagger instantly cut Rax's arm.

The expected blood did not splatter, and even after the dagger pierced through his clothes, it only left a faint white mark on the inside of Rax's arm.

At this moment, Rax didn't care whether he was injured or not. He clenched his right hand into a fist as big as a sandbag and smashed it hard on the man's head.

Crack!!!

The sound of the skull breaking rang out, and the man's eyes rolled up, and the next moment he fell limply to the ground.

Until his death, he didn't figure out why he didn't cut Rax's body.

Did someone replace his dagger with a plastic one?

Unfortunately, the man didn't have a chance to know.

Rax staggered back two steps, still in shock.

He looked at the torn sleeves, and then looked at the man who was "really" shot in the head by him, and he was still frightened.

But when he turned his head, Rax saw the fiery eyes of Marowak again, and he immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Hey, I don't have your hobby of shooting heads.

This is purely a coincidence!

Two minutes later, Rax finally calmed down. After confirming that the man was dead, he squatted down and began to search for things on his body.

A Murkrow Poké Ball, a worn-out ID card, a bottle of ether, a stack of lottery tickets and scratch cards, and a few chips from nowhere.

Looking at the ID card again, the man was a local of Baidai City.

Rax snorted lightly. Even if such a person has a wife and daughter, he is probably a disaster.

Just right, just treat it as getting rid of a disaster.

Anyway, it's not the first time. Rax quickly adjusted himself and looked at Marowak.

"Take your eyes away, I really am not... Forget it, bury it first."

"Marowak!"
