Reborn Pokémon: My childhood sweetheart is Xiaoguang.

Chapter 671 Little Softie: I'm coming clean!

Archie immediately composed herself and calmly gave the order:

"Crow Leader, Air Blade!"

"Gah!"

The crow's head let out a piercing laugh, and with a sudden flap of its wings, several crescent-shaped wind blades formed by highly compressed air whistled out.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu reacted extremely quickly, its short legs exerting force, leaving a clear Z-shaped sway in the air as the sharp blade flew past its head, slicing off several rock edges.

"thunder!"

Ash seized the brief opening after the opponent's attack and immediately counterattacked.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu gathered all its electricity, and a bolt of lightning several times thicker than before appeared out of thin air, striking the slightly relaxed Crow Leader precisely!

"Gah!!"

The crow leader let out a miserable cry, its body billowing black smoke, and plummeted straight down from the sky.

"Kid, you're actually pretty good."

Akobbi's eye twitched slightly, but she expressionlessly retracted her crow's head and threw out another Poké Ball:

"Looks like I can't underestimate you. Go, big wolfhound! Show him your ferocity!"

"Awoo—!"

The large wolfhound bared its white teeth, growling menacingly as it locked its eyes fiercely on Pikachu.

An electric mouse, huh? That's interesting.

On the other side of the battlefield, the situation was equally dire.

"Cool Leopard, Wave of Evil!"

"Thunder Beast, unleash your power!"

The other two members of Team Flare, Claire with long purple hair and a slightly seductive demeanor, and Bala with short green hair and a serious expression, are joining forces to attack Yurika, who is protecting Little Soft.

The nimble leopard darted among the rocks, spewing out malevolent spiral pulses from its mouth.

The Thunder Beast was surrounded by raging electric currents, and golden lightning spread out like a spider web.

"You are not allowed to hurt Little Softie!"

Although Yulijia was scared, she bravely stood up to protect Xiaoruan.

Of course, Serena and Citron wouldn't ignore it.

"Fire Fox, unleash your flames!"

"Röntgen Cat, let's use electric shock too!"

With a wave of her fiery red fox staff, a blazing pillar of fire shot out like a long dragon, precisely colliding with the evil wave of the cool leopard. The shockwave from the explosion made Serena's skirt flutter wildly.

“Meow!”

The Röntgen roared, its fur bristling, and it released a powerful electric current that clashed violently with the Thunder Beast's discharge!

boom! boom!

The collision of the two energies triggered a violent explosion, filling the air with smoke and dust, forcing both sides to temporarily retreat a few steps.

Immediately afterwards, Pikachu, with its agility and lightning-fast acceleration, struck the Mightyena, which was attempting to sneak up, with a powerful Iron Tail.

This was a real slap in the face, and the big wolfhound howled in pain, temporarily retreating.

As the Team Flare members, dressed in matching red uniforms, surged towards him like a tide, Ash pulled down his hat brim and questioned:

"What are you guys trying to do? Why are you trying to steal Little Softie!"

At this moment, from behind Team Flare, a male officer dressed as a researcher, Kutheroschi, strolled forward.

He made a gesture, signaling for Team Flare to temporarily halt their attack.

Ash and his friends were able to catch their breath and quickly gathered together, protecting Bonnie and Smooth in the center.

All five executives of Team Flare, except for Mami, who is still getting her nails done in prison, are gathered here at this moment!

This lineup can be described as the top-tier team for Team Flare.

Kutherrosch was overjoyed. It was like finding a needle in a haystack!

Although we didn't find Z2, the defector, we found Z1 too!

Capturing it would make up for the major mistake of losing Z2 earlier.

Lord Vladari, did you see that? Kutheroschi is far more useful than these women.

He cleared his throat, his tone coaxing:

“Young trainers, we have no intention of being your enemy. That little slime behind you is an important research subject for us.”

"Handing it over to us is of immeasurable significance for Carlos's future and even the ecological balance of the entire world."

Claire toyed with a strand of her long green hair that hung down her chest, and said seductively:

"Kids, listen to my advice, don't make a futile struggle."

"Hand over your little darling; only under our professional care can it find true peace~"

"no!"

Despite her young age, Yulijia displayed astonishing courage: "Xiaoruan is my family, my important partner. How could I possibly hand her over to you bad people! Don't even think about it!"

Akbi gave an impatient snort; she didn't have the leisure of Kutherosch and Claire.

"Stop wasting time talking to these kids! Execute the arrest procedure! We cannot let the target escape!"

Damn it, she was also responsible for losing Z2 back then, and now the leader looks at her like she's a failed product!

If he doesn't make any contributions soon, he'll probably follow in Momiji's footsteps and be sent to some godforsaken corner to develop the market.

Sensing the trainer's anxiety, the large wolfhound bared its teeth even more, revealing its ferocious nature.

Behind Ash and the others, Little Soft, who had transformed into a Doberman Pinscher, was panting heavily.

Could it be that... it is destined to meet its doom today?

Where are you, my other half?

"What a joke!"

Ash stepped forward without hesitation, blocking Z1's path once more, his back resolute: "I don't care about Zygarde or anything like that, all I know is that Slim is our partner! We would never entrust our partner to you!"

"Pikachu, one more time, Thunder Ball!"

Pikachu!

Pikachu flicked its tail, and a highly compressed orange ball of electricity quickly condensed and was thrown out with great force.

"Stubborn."

Archie's eyes turned cold: "Bronze Bell, Spinning Top Ball!"

The bronze bell beside her gleamed with a metallic sheen, and its entire body began to spin rapidly, like a top being whipped wildly, before crashing violently into the electric ball.

Boom boom!

The electric ball was easily shattered! The spinning ball continued its momentum, hurtling straight towards the unavoidable Pikachu!

"Overbearing Panda, use a powerful push!"

Serena, who had been watching Ash and Pikachu closely, couldn't bear to see them in danger and immediately scolded them.

Her mischievous panda had long since evolved into a burly, domineering panda with a tough, street-smart vibe, and it strode forward.

The enormous bear paw, carrying immense force, slammed out!

boom!

The dull thud made your teeth ache; the ground beneath the domineering panda's feet cracked, but its body remained as steady as a rock!

Immediately afterwards, it exerted force with its other paw, its muscles bulging, and pushed out with a second burst of power!

hum!

The bronze bell was whipped back like a spinning top by the domineering panda.

Then, the battle escalated once again!

"Cool Panther, Shadow Claw!"

"Thunderbolt, Wild Volt!"

"Cross-shaped bat, air blade!"

Bara, Claire, and Kutherosch commanded their respective Pokémon and launched a full-scale attack.

The dazzling light effects of countless moves illuminated the dim cave like a nightclub dance floor.

It's still that heavy metal rock style.

Ash and his friends stood back to back, fighting bravely.

"Pikachu, use Electric Net to restrict Crobat's movement, then use Iron Tail on Volcarona!"

"Röntgen Cat, Swift Star, then use Crush on the Leopard!"

"Fire Fox, use your mental power to control the falling rocks and stop the Thunder Beast!"

"Tyrant Panda, use Thunder Beast as a shield! Then throw it out!"

This command made Citron keep glancing sideways.

Wow, when did Serena's commanding style become so unrestrained?

Boom! Bang! Bang!

Explosions, collisions, and shouts echoed continuously inside the cave.

Smoke and dust filled the air, and gravel flew everywhere, creating a chaotic scene comparable to a large-scale demolition site.

Looking at the crowd in front of her who were doing their best to protect her, especially the little girl who was clearly scared but still stood firmly in front of her with her arms outstretched, Xiao Ruan's eyes flickered intensely.

It remembered the care it had received during that time, the unconditional concern it had shown.

We can't drag them down with us anymore.

The other half of my body seems to be nearby.

I need... power!

A surge of green energy, far more powerful than ever before, suddenly erupted from Xiao Ruan's tiny body!

"Well--!!!"

A powerful green energy wave spread out in a ring, like a real shockwave, pushing the Team Flare members and their Pokémon several steps away. Some of the weaker ones were even knocked to the ground!

Immediately afterwards, countless green rays converged, and Xiao Ruan's body was enveloped in dazzling green light, and its form began to change!

Its body rapidly elongated and expanded, transforming from a Doberman Pinscher into an enormous king cobra composed of countless hexagonal crystals!

The core gleamed with a warning light in the chest cavity, and its neck was spread out like a cobra, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression!

It's not pretending anymore; it's laying its cards on the table!

Zygarde, 50% form!
