Chapter 451 Deserter
Zhang Heng slumped onto the rocks on the beach. The salty sea breeze, carrying fine sand, lashed against his face, but it couldn't rouse his dazed mind.
He was holding Dorgon Messia's Masters Ball, which gleamed with a faint blue light, as if it were also reliving the thrill of turning the world upside down.
He repeatedly rubbed the mark on his palm—a dark purple swirling pattern with the glow of antimatter energy flowing around its edges, its touch as cold as a frozen soul.
"Consider me constantly? Does that mean leaving this mark on me?!"
He muttered Giratina's warning repeatedly, then suddenly shuddered.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, she became flustered and looked around.
"Heh? Hehe!!"
Gastly's transparent figure darted out from the mudflats. Seeing Zhang Heng suddenly reappear on the mudflats, it was very excited, and its previous worries vanished.
It circled around Zhang Heng several times, observing his aura and checking for any external injuries. After all, the title of "Ghost Doctor" wasn't given lightly.
After circling around a few times, looking at Zhang Heng's dizzy appearance and the Master Ball in his hand.
"hey-hey?"
Haunter made a questioning sound, then pointed to the Master Ball, as if asking Zhang Heng, "Where did Dorgonmesia go?"
Zhang Heng seemed to have been awakened, suddenly realizing something and exclaiming in surprise.
"Oh no! They haven't come out!"
The spiritual bond that should have been built between Wudao Xiongshi and Bodangshui through the power of water manipulation has now vanished as if severed by a sharp blade.
Zhang Heng suddenly stood up, staggering and knocking over his personal belongings. The sound of metal clashing with medicine bottles was particularly jarring on the quiet beach.
"Waves! Martial Arts Master Xiong!" he shouted at the top of his lungs, but his voice was swallowed by the waves.
The sea in the distance was eerily calm, with only a few schools of waddling fish darting by, leaving not even a ripple in response.
"Oh right! What about Zekrom? As a first-level god, could it also be trapped in the Reverse World?"
Zekrom's lightning power still lingered in the Crystal of Ideals, but it could not establish a smooth connection with Zekrom.
"Could it be that mark..." Zhang Heng's pupils shrank suddenly. He tried to communicate with Zekrom using the power of the dragon, but found that the energy flow in his body had also become sluggish.
The dark matter in the reversed world seems to have left some kind of shackle; every time a little power is mobilized, a needle-like pain comes from the temple.
Zhang Heng, enduring the throbbing pain in his temples, slumped onto the rocks, clutching the Master Ball that gleamed with a faint blue light.
Gastly hovered around him, its transparent body flashing between light and shadow. It seemed to sense that something was wrong and occasionally let out a worried "heh heh" sound.
"No, I can't just sit here and wait to die." Zhang Heng gritted his teeth and stood up, pondering how to re-enter the Reversal World.
Zhang Heng knelt on the reef, his fingertips digging deep into the sand, his eyes fixed on the dark purple mark on his palm, racking his brains for a way to return to the reversed world.
Gastly suddenly shook its body violently, emitting a sharp "heh heh" warning sound. Dense ripples appeared on its transparent body, and surging Ghost-type energy also emerged.
But the next second, the sky was suddenly dyed pink with energy. The Ghost-type energy emanating from Gastly was dispersed, and a viscous, gelatinous wave of psychic power surged down, transforming into a giant hand that gripped Zhang Heng's body tightly.
He instantly felt his internal organs being squeezed, and a broken groan escaped his throat. When his feet left the ground, he didn't even have the strength to struggle, and could only watch helplessly as the coastline shrank in his field of vision.
"Ugh..." The feeling of suffocation made his eyes bloodshot and the veins in his neck throb.
Gastly lunged at the giant energy hand, but was bounced back by an invisible barrier and crashed heavily onto the mudflats.
The clouds parted, and a burst of dazzling flames erupted. A woman in a scarlet dress descended slowly, stepping on floating fragments of fire, the crimson ribbons wrapped around her hair billowing wildly with the energy fluctuations.
Beside her was a Pokémon that was predominantly red and yellow, with thick, long fur on its legs and front paws, which eventually formed a shape resembling a witch's outfit.
The figure holding a branch still features large ears, which are covered with a lot of flame-like down.
Spitting sparks, with eerie runes formed by the flames burning at the tip of its tail, its scarlet pupils fixed on Zhang Heng, and its claws glowing with ghostly blue flames, it was none other than the Fiery Red Fox, one of the three starter Pokémon of the Fire type.
Beside this arrogant woman were two officials dressed in the standard leather uniforms of the Chinese Federation, riding warrior eagles.
One of them quickly raised his body camera and scanned Zhang Heng's face. As the blue light of the device flashed, the retrieved information was quickly handed to the arrogant woman.
"King Zhai, here is this person's information."
Zhai Li, one of the eight kings of South China, although ranked last, her strength in the top eight in the region should not be underestimated.
She glanced at the file, her scarlet fingernails slicing across the screen: "Joining the action team at such a young age, yet appearing alone on the mudflats, and fleeing in fear when faced with a formidable enemy, he must be a deserter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the super energy around the Demon Fire Red Fox surged, and the giant energy hand binding Zhang Heng suddenly tightened.
Zhang Heng's neck veins bulged, his face flushed red as blood, his internal organs seemed to be crushed, and broken groans escaped from his throat.
"Bang bang bang!"
Zhang Heng's Poké Balls on his waist emitted dazzling white light one after another, and Shiny Swampert, Altaria, Milotic, Duraludon, and Charizard instantly appeared.
After the battle of the gods, the Water Scroll finally recovered some of its energy, and a gentle water-based light burst forth from its wrist, severing the superpower shackles like a sharp blade.
Zhang Heng fell heavily onto the mudflats, panting heavily, his hair sticking to his sweat-drenched face.
"You dare to resist! I arrest you in the name of the Heavenly King of the Chinese Alliance!" The fiery red fox crackled as it swung its flaming staff.
Zhang Heng laughed in fury, the veins in his neck throbbing: "Zhai Li! One of the shareholders of the Grassland Region, she's just seeking revenge!"
In his rage, the surrounding Dynamax energy frantically converged onto his left wristband.
Zhang Heng took out a Poké Ball and recalled Charizard, surging energy into it. His eyes blazed with fighting spirit: "Charizard! What kind of Fire-type Elite Four? It's nothing but a firefly in front of Dynamax!"
The Poké Ball flew out of my hand and exploded in mid-air with a blinding light.
The Charizard's figure rapidly expanded, its body wreathed in strange flames, its wings transformed into burning giant wings, and three pink clouds floated above its head—Gigantamax Charizard has arrived! The entire sky was dyed an eerie pink.
"Gigantamax Territory Annihilation!" Zhang Heng swung his arm fiercely.
"Altair, Milotic, use Tornado to stop the others!"
The Gigantamax Charizard roared to the sky, its sonic waves distorting the air.
Its massive, burning wings suddenly unfurled, and flames surged and coalesced like living things, gradually transforming into a giant phoenix wreathed in pink flames.
The phoenix's pupils gleamed with a destructive light. With a flap of its wings, the moisture in the entire sea was instantly evaporated, and the sand and gravel on the mudflats began to melt and deform.
Zhai Li's expression changed drastically, and she ordered, "Fire Fox! Block! Use Flame Throw!"
The fiery red fox's fur stood on end, but the flames it spewed out extinguished like fireflies the instant they touched the phoenix. Zhai Li's pupils contracted sharply.
However, the title of the strongest king is not something that can be determined by inside connections; it is earned through genuine strength.
Therefore, their combat skills are very high, and they can make the most accurate commands even in the slightest panic.
Without hesitation, she threw out a Poké Ball. A flash of red light appeared, and a large Arcanine landed on the ground, its fluffy flaxen fur flying in the heat, its brown eyes blazing with a fierce fighting spirit.
"Ow—!"
Arcanine let out a long howl, and fire-type energy gathered around its body like a vortex.
Its unique ignition properties were activated, and it actually took the initiative to face the flames of the Gigantamax Phoenix, opening its mouth wide to frantically absorb the oncoming flames.
The tiger stripes, originally orange and black, now glowed with intense light, and fine white mist rose from its fur, as fire energy in the air continuously flowed into its body.
However, the power of Gigantamax Inferno is far beyond imagination.
Arcanine's fur began to turn black and curl, and its skin sizzled from the high temperature. Despite its ignite ability constantly absorbing the flames, it was still unable to withstand this devastating attack.
Its four claws sank deep into the scalding mud, its forelegs trembled slightly under the pressure, yet it still let out an indomitable roar, trying to devour all the flames.
"Arcanine!" Zhai Li was a little anxious, as this was the first time she had seen a Fire-type move that even the Flash Fire ability couldn't handle.
The two law enforcement officers took the opportunity to maneuver the Warrior Eagle, struggling to find a gap to break through the tornado, but were repeatedly forced back by the giant waves stirred up by Milotic.
Zhang Heng looked at the struggling Arcanine, his eyes devoid of any pity: "If I'm a deserter? Then what are you? A piece of trash even worse than a deserter?"
Gigantamax Charizard flapped its fiery wings once more, and the phantom of the phoenix in the sky became even more solid. Pink flames rained down, completely engulfing Arcanine in a sea of fire. This was an additional effect of Gigantamax Inferno Extinguisher.
"Young friend Zhang, don't be hasty!" An untimely voice appeared on the sea.
