Chapter 406 Snorlax VS Rhyhorn! Fierce Moves
Chapter 406 Snorlax VS Rhyhorn! A ferocious combination of moves! Losing means death!
The Smud Energy Plant, located underground in the suburbs of Crystal City, differs from its apparent legitimate factory status; it secretly employs illegal refining methods...
Although efficiency has been greatly improved, the pollution generated is extremely serious and is strictly prohibited both in China and overseas.
The Smud plant secretly constructed a pipeline leading to the tidal flats near the seabed, quietly discharging pollutants into the ocean, a practice that has continued for nearly a year...
Originally, this kind of pollution was relatively slow, but recently the Smud factory received an urgent overseas order. If it could be delivered on time, it could make a lot of money. So the entire factory is operating at full capacity, with everyone working overtime...
They successfully discharged a large amount of pollutants into the nearshore tidal zone, causing the pollutants to accumulate into underwater turbidity currents that condense and do not disperse. Once they disperse, they will cause a massive explosion...
The Smud factory also had contingency plans in place: if contamination was discovered, they would cut off the pipelines, destroy all evidence, and falsely claim a factory explosion, saying they knew nothing else...
They hadn't expected that the two Phoenix King envoys would appear here almost simultaneously, especially the Dark Phoenix King envoy, who directly hijacked the entire factory and took everyone under control...
At this point, for everyone at the Smud factory, survival was the bigger question...
What a trial! What a public execution!
"Will anyone come to save us? I'm still young, I don't want to die, especially not in such an absurd way..."
"I've already submitted my resignation, how did it turn out like this... I was tricked into coming here to work!"
"My youngest daughter is getting married next week. Why now of all times? I so want to witness her at her most beautiful..."
At this moment, the people who were being controlled by the Dark Phoenix King felt utterly desperate and lost.
"It's all your fault, you bastard! If you hadn't recklessly created pollution just to meet the deadline, how could we have ended up like this!"
"Yes, he's the culprit! Why should this guy reap the biggest profits, enjoy comfort and benefits, while we work hard and have to take the blame for him!"
"Dark Phoenix King Envoy, I beg you, if you must judge someone, judge this person instead. His name is Sai the Richest Man, and he is in charge of the entire factory. If it weren't for his decision, there wouldn't have been such a large-scale pollution incident..."
Oh, and also, the reason we dared to attack you was because we were acting on his orders!
The head of the Smud factory, the richest man in the country, looked at the workers who were pointing their spears at him, and couldn't help but grit his teeth in hatred:
"Ungrateful wretch! A bunch of ungrateful wretches! If I weren't paying your wages, you would have starved to death long ago! Think about it, who do you rely on to support your families! Now that something's happened, you're all too eager to push me out..."
As he spoke, the richest man in the city nervously knelt down before the Dark Phoenix King's envoy, prostrating himself on the ground.
"Dark Phoenix King, if you're willing to forgive me, I'm willing to donate money to you to help you complete your mission and realize your ideal of changing this world... I promise I'll repent and start anew! I have money and power; I'll follow and support you to become the king of the new world!"
The Dark Phoenix King's envoy observed everyone's reactions with an expression of schadenfreude throughout.
"Oh dear, it's really like dogs fighting each other, shifting responsibility to each other. Don't you have any shame?"
The king of the new world? Sounds tempting, but I don't think you could be of any help to me...
"Alright, I'll give you a chance. I'll allow you to judge yourselves. As long as the dead bear the blame, the living will have it easier... You understand what I mean?"
Upon hearing Xiao Hei's words, everyone present was shocked and filled with terror.
"Don't listen to his nonsense! This bastard wants us to kill each other! What kind of bullshit Phoenix King's messenger is he? He's just an evil element. The real Phoenix King's messenger will definitely come to save us..."
Some people shouted to try to stop the situation from spiraling out of control, but human nature cannot withstand the temptation of self-preservation, especially since these people were already indignant.
The superpower barriers that imprisoned people began to move like a sophisticated mechanism, connecting everyone together. Although it resembled a maze, it was actually not very far apart.
"Kill the richest man in Sai first! He's guilty!"
Someone roared.
Immediately afterwards, people began to surge forward, and their Pokémon began to fight individually.
On the other hand, the richest man in the city also had his own group of thugs. Although they had been nearly beaten to death by the Dark Phoenix King during the earlier attack, they were still quite capable of dealing with these ordinary workers. However, there were still too many people who wanted to kill the richest man in the city...
In an instant, the two sides clashed.
"Look, Kirby, it's because you were too slow... These people just couldn't hold back. I didn't judge or execute them; it was all their own choice... How ugly, how selfish, this is humanity now!"
Little Black laughed loudly.
"Splash!"
With a splash of water, Milotic emerged from the pipe carrying Ye Yinchuan. Protected by Ho-Oh's power, Milotic remained untouched by any pollution, truly emerging from the mud unsullied.
"Damn it...didn't we agree to decide everything through Pokémon battles?"
Ye Yinchuan gripped the Poké Ball, staring at the chaotic and bloody scene of violence before him, his anger barely contained...
This little black creature, though somewhat sinister, is fundamentally evil.
"I didn't do anything. They were selfish and killed each other to escape punishment. What does it have to do with me?"
Ye Yinchuan didn't bother arguing, he just patted Milotic, and Milotic's scales shimmered with a breathtakingly beautiful light, like the surface of a sparkling lake...
Bathed in the light, the fighting crowd ceased their violent actions, their anger and rage seemingly soothed...
This is Milotic's special ability; as a compassionate Pokémon, it can soothe a person's fighting spirit, and its effect is truly outstanding when used here.
Following that, Milotic sprayed Life Water to heal the injured people and Pokémon. After doing all this, it was still quite exhausted, as the journey from the Tidal Coast had taken a heavy toll on its stamina and energy...
At this point, Milotic was not exactly exhausted, but at least in a condition unsuitable for battle.
"This is truly remarkable. Is this the power of Milotic? It can influence people's hearts..."
"But if I remember correctly, Milotic should be one of your main fighters, right? It looks pretty weak. Are you sure it can still fight me?"
Xiao Hei had a mocking look on his face.
[How despicable! This Dark Phoenix King Envoy is utter scum!]
Was it intentional or accidental? Was this a setup for the streamer?
"Let's set up a suitable battlefield, Rhinoceros Horn. After all, this is my first clash with another Ho-Oh envoy... and possibly the last, so it definitely needs to be a grand affair!"
"Wait! Do you still stand by what you said? We've already done as you instructed. This richest man in the country is practically dead from our beating. If it weren't for this guy causing trouble, he would be dead for sure... If there's going to be a trial, we should be able to reduce his sentence, right?"
Someone shouted at Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei paused slightly, his smile undiminished, and said:
"Of course, those who follow the rules should have their culpability reduced..."
Upon hearing this, those people showed relief, while those who had not participated looked slightly worried.
"However, you are selfish and kill each other to absolve yourselves of guilt, thus incurring new sins!"
As soon as Xiao Hei said this, the group of people who had just been feeling fortunate immediately turned pale, while those who hadn't participated didn't lose their gloom...
Because this little black guy was completely toying with them and didn't treat them like human beings at all!
[Haha, sorry, my morals and my sense of humor are at odds!]
This is a complete disaster, I don't understand what's so funny...
Are they really that afraid of the Dark Phoenix King? Don't they have any hope for our streamer? Are they disrespecting the streamer?
After glancing at the comments, Ye Yinchuan wasn't in the mood to reply for the time being. However, regarding the last point mentioned in the comments, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible that these people caught in the vortex would rather beg for mercy from the Dark Phoenix King than rely on him for help.
It seems that the Dark Phoenix King Envoy had already left a deep impression on them through his actions, even instilling a fear of near-death experiences...
Even if they had heard of him, this Phoenix King's messenger was still a relatively distant figure to them.
Xiao Hei smiled without saying a word, seemingly finding great pleasure in toying with these people and manipulating human nature. He gestured to his Dark Drillhorn Rhinoceros to begin its work; this Rock-type creature, capable of digging, was also quite adept at construction...
The dark rhinoceros swept away all the surrounding obstacles with astonishing speed, then compacted the ground again, and soon a temporary battleground was set up.
Although it looks rough, it has the texture of violent aesthetics.
As for the "hostages" present, they were also affected by the telekinetic power of the Dark Mist Doll during this process, and their positions were constantly being rearranged and arranged around the battlefield. It seems that they were forced to act as temporary spectators.
"The stage is set up, Kirby."
Xiao Hei stood on the battle platform, surrounded by three Dark Pokémon: Dark Muk, Dark Mr. Mime, and Dark Rhyhorn.
"One-on-one or a group fight?"
"Let's make it a best-of-three series. Let's clarify the rules first... What if I win? What if you win?"
Ye Yinchuan didn't seriously believe that Xiao Hei would necessarily abide by the rules just because they were discussed, but it was always better to have the rules explained in advance than to have none at all.
"Simple, if you win, I'll let everyone here go... But if you lose, you'll witness my judgment..."
As for our lives, that's up to us!
At this moment, everyone present seemed to realize that their fate depended entirely on Ye Yinchuan.
"Go, go...you must do your best, true Ho-Oh messenger!"
"Defeat this imposter and save us!"
Ye Yinchuan nodded, feeling the burden on his shoulders grow even heavier.
"I choose you, Kirby!"
Ye Yinchuan released Snorlax from its Poké Ball. Its massive size instantly occupied half of the battlefield, like a small mountain, exuding an oppressive aura.
"Click!"
Snorlax was in extremely high spirits. It is said that people and Pokémon who spend a lot of time together can develop a kind of telepathic connection. At this moment, Snorlax seemed to be able to sense Ye Yinchuan's strong determination to win...
"Kirby, there's no time for explanations, but today's match isn't ordinary. We have to win. Success is not an option. Do you understand?"
"Click!"
Snorlax responded enthusiastically to Ye Yinchuan's pre-battle encouragement, its already high fighting spirit becoming even more intense, a rare sight for the usually lazy Snorlax.
Clearly, our little Kirby is absolutely reliable in crucial moments!
At this moment, Snorlax was also observing its surroundings, keenly sensing the suppressed and panicked feelings of the hostages, as well as the ominous aura emanating from the three dark Pokémon.
"Great, that's very energetic!"
Ye Yinchuan gave Snorlax a thumbs up.
"You're in charge of dealing with big guys like Snorlax... Rhydon!"
Seeing the opponent's Pokémon choice, Ye Yinchuan sighed inwardly. Why didn't they choose Muk? Snorlax's ability is "Immune"!
But there's no rush. After all, Ye Yinchuan can counter Poison-type Pokémon, not just Snorlax. There's also a Crowdra with "Mithril Body," so there will be plenty of opportunities.
Unlike in the game where both sides blindly choose their pieces, meaning they don't know which piece the opponent will choose first and can only decide which piece to choose themselves.
According to the battle rules in the Pokémon world, in a best-of-three format, the opponents will go first in the second and third rounds if Ye Yinchuan goes first in the first round.
The first match is crucial; winning it means securing match point, and there might not be a third match. Simply rotating players would be unfair.
[Snorlax versus Rhyhorn? This is a clash of brute force!]
[Rhyhorn is quite a big beast, but it's no match for Snorlax!]
This isn't your average horned rhinoceros; you could tell I thought it was a magical beast!
As both Pokémon entered the battle, Ye Yinchuan also rechecked the stats of this Dark Rhyhorn.

"Hiss...that's pretty ruthless."
Although I don't want to boost others' morale while diminishing my own.
But after carefully examining the Rhyhorn's stats, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but sigh that it was definitely a formidable opponent for Snorlax.
"Go, Drillhorn Rhinoceros! Use Combo A to pop this giant balloon!"
Following Xiao Hei's command, the Drill Horned Rhinoceros's body swayed gently, its drill horn resembling a uniquely shaped purplish-black magic sword...
"Sword Dance"!
The next moment, it charged forward at incredible speed, like a heavy truck with malfunctioning brakes, ramming into Snorlax...
"A massive impact!"
Suddenly, it stomped its foot on the ground, creating a violent jolt that was enough to disrupt the enemy and leave them nowhere to hide...
"Tread again!"
It uses the powerful impact of its feet stomping on the ground to briefly lift its heavy body off the ground...
Its entire body, as the horn turned, began to spin at high speed, like a giant drill, slamming into Snorlax's heart!
"Direct-Thrust Drill"!
……
The Dark Rhinoceros's attacks were fierce and terrifying, with its various powerful moves flowing seamlessly and perfectly combined...
What ultimately converges is an unstoppable, deadly attack!
"If we lose, we really will die!"
Ye Yinchuan's pupils shrank sharply as he realized that this was no ordinary battle, but a true life-or-death duel!
