"Sa..."
Sarod panted heavily, his body trembling with frustration. His emotions were chaotic, his rage still burning.
But… he couldn't fly, which meant he couldn't chase after that damn electric bird.
Infuriating!
Even though he knew Zapdos had been hurt just as badly—its feathers still standing on end from the electricity, parts of its body even singed—Sarod's anger wasn't fading.
The blood in his brain still boiled!
A completely unnecessary fight with Zapdos had left him in this unstable, agitated state.
And all of this…
Sarod slowly turned around, his blood-red eyes locking onto Ethan and the others in the distance.
Dangerous!
Almost instantly, Lily and the rest froze in place!
Fk! Fk!
"What the hell do we do now?!"
Under Sarod's menacing gaze, Charlotte felt her entire body tense up. Her voice was hushed, filled with distress.
This boss… was no joke!
"What else? We run!"
Lily whispered back, subtly shifting her feet backward.
"On the count of three, everyone sprint! Run as fast as you can and don't look back!"
"This monkey didn't seem like it wanted to hurt us before, but now… I'm not sure."
Ethan spoke in a low voice, his expression grim.
From the battle between Sarod and Zapdos, they had learned one thing:
Before this, Sarod had just been intimidating them, showing off his strength. But now… Would he hold back again?
Nobody knew.
And considering how pissed off the monkey looked after getting blasted by Zapdos' Thunder…
Yeah, not a chance they were sticking around to find out.
"Guys… let's meet up back at the shop if we make it out of this alive!"
Ethan saw that Sarod had fully turned toward them, and his eyes instantly sharpened.
"Three—"
"Two—!"
But before he could even count to one, Ethan noticed Sarod start moving—
And without hesitation, he immediately turned and bolted.
Screw that!
What was this, a TV drama? Count three times? No way! If it's time to run, you run!
"F**k! This guy is so unreliable!"
Jason and the others, who had been mentally preparing to move on "three," were momentarily stunned.
But then—
They cursed under their breath and turned to run too.
Why Isn't It Chasing Us?!
After running a good distance, Charlotte looked over her shoulder—
And noticed that Sarod… wasn't chasing them.
Instead, it was slowly walking forward, its pace far more relaxed than before.
"Huh? Why isn't it attacking?"
That was strange. Had Zapdos' lightning attack stunned it?
BAM!
Lost in thought, Charlotte didn't notice an obstacle ahead—and smacked into something hard.
"Ow!"
She groaned, clutching her nose.
"Lottie, what the hell are you—?"
Lily, who had also stopped running, turned around with an annoyed expression.
But before she could finish speaking—
She noticed something was very, very wrong.
Because Edward and the others had stopped too—
And their faces looked absolutely terrible.
What's wrong?
And then—
Charlotte slowly looked up.
Her stomach dropped.
A massive, three-meter-tall, black bear-like Pokémon stood right in front of them.
And behind them…
More figures emerged from the shadows—identical, except for slight differences in the fur on their heads.
Surrounded.
"..."
Blocked by two incredibly intimidating Pokémon, Charlotte felt a chill down her spine.
These guys… were no joke.
BEEP— Martial Arts Bear (One-Hit Style), Fighting/Dark Type, Boxing Pokémon
Ability: Unseen Fist
Moves: Wicked Blow, Focus Punch, Close Combat, Counter, Dynamic Punch, Sucker Punch, Throat Chop, Detect…
"Its creed is to defeat its opponent in a single strike. It rushes into close range and delivers a powerful punch with its well-trained fists. A legendary Pokémon of the Fighting and Dark types."
Legendary… Pokémon…
Listening to the Pokédex's description, Ethan's brain short-circuited.
Another legendary Pokémon?!
Was this place a nest for legendary Pokémon or something?!
And if this one was a legend…
BEEP— Martial Arts Bear (Rapid-Strike Style), Fighting/Water Type, Boxing Pokémon
Ability: Unseen Fist
Moves: Surging Strikes, Aqua Jet, Focus Punch, Dynamic Punch, Liquidation, Counter, Detect…
"This legendary Pokémon of the Fighting and Water types believes in a relentless barrage of strikes. It attacks with rapid, flowing movements, never stopping until its opponent is overwhelmed."
Oh, of course.
Of course.
Jason's face paled.
"Oh… God, you b**tard…"
Edward felt like his soul left his body as he looked at the two Martial Arts Bears closing in on them—
And Sarod, who had now joined them, standing at the side of the Rapid-Strike Bear.
Yeah. They were all on the same team.
Three. Legendary. Pokémon.
Edward mentally cursed whatever gods were playing this cruel joke.
A Legendary Encounter…
"It looks like… they're here for the little guy."
Ethan swallowed hard, glancing at Apprentice Bear, who was still curled up in Lily's arms.
The tension in the air was crushing.
Even though he knew they were in deep, deep trouble, Ethan couldn't help but marvel—
What kind of crazy day was this?!
