Ya Sha looked up, gazing pitifully at Kebi.
“Can’t we… just the two of us… gather the wild Pokémon of Mt. Chimney and take down these poachers?”
Kebi refused directly, “No, these poachers are not simple. The two of us would most likely not be able to stop them, even with the wild Pokémon from Mt. Chimney.”
Although Kebi’s Psychic prediction couldn’t see what Pokémon these poachers wanted to capture, he could sense that the poachers were a group of more than ten people.
Moreover, each person’s Pokémon was strong, and they also possessed high-tech weapons.
It was just him and Ya Sha, and it was highly probable that Ya Sha’s intelligence was completely known to the other party, who must have prepared weapons to deal with Ya Sha.
Ya Sha could only take out her phone and call Grandpa Mula and Jenny respectively, asking them to quickly bring people into the mountain to round up the poachers.
Kebi grabbed Ya Sha’s shoulder and returned to Magmar’s cave.
“Let’s go, we’ll openly contact the Pokémon of Mt. Chimney.”
Since the poacher group had already anticipated that Kebi and Ya Sha would disrupt their operation, Kebi decided to act according to their expectations.
He wanted to create a false impression for the poachers that everything was under control.
Seeing Kebi and Ya Sha rushing out of the cave, Team C confirmed that they had been exposed.
“Leader, what do we do now?”
The leader’s eyes darted, “A few days ago, I received intelligence that a female Blaziken appeared on Mt. Chimney, and she most likely laid a nest of Pokémon Eggs. Go catch the Blaziken and the Pokémon Eggs, or the Torchic.”
“Make your movements obvious, so that the little pepper and her boyfriend chase you away.”
As expected of the leader, in just a few seconds, he came up with a clever plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain and strike the west while making a feint to the east.
“I’ll go now.”
Kebi and his team notified Weezing and Skarmory, asking them to help inform the remaining faction leaders of Mt. Chimney.
Then they heard a violent explosion not far away.
Looking at the towering pillar of fire, Ya Sha’s face changed: “Oh no, that’s the territory of the Blaziken that migrated here not long ago. Her babies haven’t all hatched yet.”
“So the target of these poachers is the Blaziken and her babies!”
Torchic and Pokémon Eggs?
Kebi didn’t expect to get information about Torchic so quickly.
And they were either newly hatched or unhatched.
If he saved the Blaziken’s life now and gained her favorability, the possibility of her letting her children travel with Kebi would be much higher.
“We’re going to save the Blaziken, but the Blaziken shouldn’t be their real target.”
When Kebi and Ya Sha arrived, the Blaziken was fighting alone against Golem, Rhydon, and Crawdaunt.
At first glance, their target really seemed to be the Blaziken.
“Arcanine, use Extreme Speed on Golem! Rapidash, use Double Kick on Rhydon!”
“Magnemite, use Thunder Wave on Crawdaunt!”
The poachers had already been on guard against Kebi and Ya Sha. A person suddenly appeared from behind a Rock, holding a cannon and firing.
Kebi quickly pulled Ya Sha to dodge, while throwing out a Poké Ball.
“Tyranitar, block with Stone Edge! Chimchar, use Flare Blitz directly on the person!”
What was fired from the cannon was a plasma cannon, and getting hit by it was not a pleasant experience.
It wasn’t numbness, but the body being damaged by the high temperature of the plasma cannon.
The high-speed plasma cannon hit Tyranitar without pain or itch, but the Arcanine and Rapidash, who charged too fast, were unlucky.
These poachers even attacked their own Pokémon.
Except for the poor Crawdaunt, the other two Ground-type Pokémon were unharmed.
While the opponent was paralyzed by the plasma cannon, large chunks of Rock smashed fiercely onto Arcanine and Rapidash, burying them directly.
Since the real target hadn’t appeared yet, Kebi couldn’t expose his Psychic abilities.
Chimchar, relying on its small size, did manage to rush in front of the poacher.
Unexpectedly, there was a Persian hidden behind the poacher.
It directly blocked Chimchar with a Water Pulse, then turned and struck with Iron Tail.
Chimchar forcibly broke through the Water Pulse and wrestled with Persian.
As poachers, whether ambushing others with Pokémon or being ambushed by others, they were experienced.
The other side sent out a Machamp with sharp eyes to target Tyranitar, as if they knew in advance that he had a Tyranitar.
It seemed his intelligence was also exposed. Even after just a brief encounter, the other party had already investigated his information, which fully demonstrated the professionalism of the poacher team.
With plasma cannons fired without regard for cost and Pokémon fighting fearlessly, the poachers actually managed to capture the Blaziken, three Torchics, and two Pokémon Eggs.
Hiding behind a Rock, Kebi watched them drive away with the Blaziken.
After rescuing the buried Arcanine and Rapidash, Kebi and his team immediately chased after them.
Just as they were about to leave Mt. Chimney, a majestic cry echoed from behind them, along with the sound of explosions from an aircraft firing its cannons.
Kebi and Ya Sha looked back and saw a large bird, completely engulfed in flames, diving into the volcano amidst the aircraft’s cannon fire.
Ya Sha’s eyes widened, “Their target is Moltres!”
Now they were too far from the volcano where Moltres was being attacked. Under normal circumstances, they had no way to go and provide support.
Ya Sha excitedly grabbed Kebi’s arm, “Quick, use Teleport to take me there and save Moltres.”
Kebi smiled calmly, and his eyes glowed with an intense blue light.
He instantly appeared on the roof of the jeep carrying the Blaziken, using Confusion to make the poachers in the car stop and tie all four of them up with ropes, locking all their Poké Balls.
He opened the cage holding the Blaziken, freeing the mother and her children.
Then he pulled Ya Sha and Teleported back to the volcano.
The wild Pokémon summoned by Ya Sha were struggling to fight the poachers, but they were no match for the high-tech equipment.
Team B, responsible for perimeter alert and electromagnetic interference, also reported at this time.
“Bad news, boss! Mula and the cops are coming up the mountain, we’re surrounded!”
Hunter K’s face changed, and he hardened his heart as he looked at the Moltres already confined in the cage.
“You guys hold off Mula and the cops. I’ll give your families every penny you’re owed. If you get caught by the cops now, the detention time is the same, and you won’t get a single penny.”
Kebi snapped his fingers, and the controller in Hunter K’s hand instantly disappeared, appearing in Kebi’s hand.
“Mr. Poacher, you might not be able to leave.”
All the poachers present were caught by Kebi’s Confusion. The high-tech electric cage opened, and the battered Moltres plunged into the magma.
Jenny, riding Arcanine, arrived at the fastest speed and took all the poachers down the mountain to be brought to justice.
Kebi adjusted Chimchar’s condition to its best, watching the constantly dancing firebird in the magma. After absorbing enough magma, it soared into the sky.
It transformed into a blazing fireball, spreading its wings to reveal Moltres, restored to its full strength.
“Moltres, let’s have a battle with my Chimchar!”
Moltres nodded slightly and sprayed a blazing flame at Chimchar.
“Chimchar, Flare Blitz!”
Just one Flamethrower, and the intense heat made Chimchar feel immense pressure.
“Chika!”
Roaring, it absorbed Moltres’s flames. Chimchar, burning with fierce fire, fearlessly charged towards the majestic Moltres in the air.
Chimchar’s body, bathed in the undying flames, released a strong evolution light.
