Sha Ying sneered, a hint of disdain in his tone: "Tyranitar, use Stone Edge! Hydreigon, use Dark Pulse!"
Tyranitar stomped the ground forcefully, and several massive sharp stones flew towards Charizard.
Hydreigon opened its three mouths, and a powerful Dark Pulse blasted towards Charizard.
"Boom!"
Charizard's Dragon Rush collided violently with Tyranitar's Stone Edge and Hydreigon's Dark Pulse, creating an instant, thunderous explosion as if a bomb had detonated on flat ground, the immense sound shaking the surrounding air intensely.
Before Charizard could react further, the ground began to shake violently.
An Earthquake struck, and it stumbled, and at that moment, Hydreigon's Dark Pulse once again fiercely struck its body.
Charizard's originally strong body appeared to be brutally torn apart by an invisible force, large chunks of its scales peeled off, and blood spurted out like a fountain, splattering onto the surrounding ground.
Its wings drooped limply, the light in its eyes rapidly dimmed, and after a few painful roars from its throat, it crashed heavily to the ground with a "boom," kicking up a cloud of dust.
When the dust cleared, Charizard's body was utterly ravaged, with multiple wounds so deep that bone was visible, and its internal organs spilled out from the ruptured areas, a tragic and utterly lifeless demise.
Wang Tai'an's face instantly turned pale; he hadn't expected his Charizard to be defeated so easily.
He said with a trembling voice, "No... don't kill me, please, spare my life!"
Jiang Mo looked at Wang Tai'an coldly, a hint of impatience in his tone: "I'll ask one last time, where is Gu Ming?"
Wang Tai'an was completely flustered now; he knew he had messed with the wrong people.
He said with a trembling voice, "Gu Ming... Gu Ming, according to news from the Shenzhou Alliance, she is in the Misty Forest, and King Gu Yuan is currently pursuing her..."
Jiang Mo nodded, then turned to Sha Ying and said, "Let's go."
Sha Ying nodded, and with a wave of his hand, Tyranitar instantly returned to its Poké Ball.
The two turned and left the villa.
Wang Tai'an watched Jiang Mo and Sha Ying's retreating figures, a sigh of relief escaping his heart.
However, just as he thought he had escaped, Hydreigon suddenly turned back, opened its three mouths, and a powerful Dragon Pulse blasted towards the villa.
"Boom!"
The villa was instantly struck by the Dragon Pulse, turning into a pile of ashes.
Wang Tai'an and his family members were completely annihilated before they could even scream.
"Dare to provoke our Dawn, you'd better weigh the consequences..."
Jiang Mo wasted no time, quickly leaving the Wang family's residence and heading towards the Misty Forest on the outskirts of the capital.
At the same time, in the Misty Forest on the outskirts of the capital, Gu Ming was lying on the back of a Volcarona, her face pale, with traces of blood at the corner of her mouth.
Her clothes were stained red with blood, clearly indicating a brutal battle.
"Volcarona, a little faster..." Gu Ming said weakly, her voice trembling slightly.
Volcarona let out a low cry, and the speed of its wing beats increased slightly.
It also had several wounds on its body, but it continued to fly tenaciously.
Beside Volcarona, a Scizor and a Beedrill followed closely.
They too were covered in wounds, but they remained loyal in protecting Gu Ming.
"Gu Ming, you can't escape!" A cold shout came from behind.
Gu Ming looked back and saw a man in a black trench coat riding on the back of a Dragonite, hot on her heels.
That man was King Gu Yuan, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Shenzhou Alliance—the Dragon-type Heavenly King.
"Gu Yuan, you, a dignified Elite, actually resorted to a sneak attack, how despicable!" Gu Ming gritted her teeth, her voice filled with anger and disdain.
Gu Yuan sneered, a hint of mockery in his tone: "Gu Ming, don't your Dawn people also like to hide in the dark and play dirty tricks? I'm merely returning the favor in kind."
Gu Ming did not respond further; she knew that nothing she said now would be of any use.
Gu Yuan's strength was superior to hers, and with other pursuers, if she hadn't fought with all her might to break through, she would have been captured long ago.
"Volcarona, just a little longer..." Gu Ming whispered, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
Volcarona let out a low cry, and the speed of its wing beats increased again.
But its stamina was nearing its limit, and its flying altitude was gradually decreasing.
"Gu Ming, surrender! You can't escape!" Gu Yuan's voice came again, with a hint of triumph.
"Damn it, I just went out for a stroll, and I ran into such bad luck!"
Gu Ming gritted her teeth, her heart filled with unwillingness.
She knew that if she were captured by Gu Yuan, not only would she be in danger, but Dawn would also suffer a severe blow.
"Am I... really going to die here?" Gu Ming murmured softly, a hint of despair flashing in her eyes.
Immediately, a flicker of determination appeared in her eyes; if she couldn't escape, she would commit suicide. She absolutely could not fall into the Alliance's hands and become their bargaining chip against Dawn.
At the same time, Gu Ming also released the restrictions on all her Poké Balls. If she died in the end, she would let her Pokémon scatter and escape; they had fought alongside her their entire lives and should not become her burial offerings in the end.
Gu Ming's Volcarona was already flying precariously, but King Gu Yuan, who was behind her, was still in hot pursuit, and he also released a Heavenly King Level Noivern.
Dragonite and Noivern, one on the left and one on the right, blocked Gu Ming's escape route.
King Gu Yuan sneered and commanded: "Dragonite, use Dragon Pulse! Noivern, use Boomburst!"
Dragonite opened its mouth, and a powerful Dragon Pulse blasted towards Gu Ming.
Noivern let out a sharp cry, and the sound waves of Boomburst swept over like a tangible force.
Gu Ming's face was ashen; she knew she was powerless to dodge these two fatal attacks.
She closed her eyes, her heart filled with unwillingness and despair.
"Am I... really going to die here?" Gu Ming murmured softly.
However, at this critical moment, a dark figure suddenly descended from the sky, blocking Gu Ming's path.
"Hydreigon, use Dark Pulse! Tyranitar, use Stone Edge!" Sha Ying's cold voice rang out.
Hydreigon opened its three mouths, and a powerful Dark Pulse blasted towards Dragonite's Dragon Pulse.
Tyranitar stomped the ground forcefully, and countless sharp stones flew towards Noivern's Boomburst.
"Boom!"
The opposing moves collided in the air, creating a tremendous roar.
The shockwave of the explosion shook the surrounding trees, and smoke filled the entire sky.
Gu Ming suddenly opened her eyes, and seeing Sha Ying's figure, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Sha Ying! You're here!"
"Wuwuwu, if you didn't show up, I would have been a goner today!"
