Chapter 336: I Want to Fight Alongside You
Will could sense the situation above.
A helicopter landed on the museum, and about six or seven people came down.
Judging from the Aura in their bodies, they were not good people.
Should be from Team Plasma too.
The idea of using the Sea Crown to fly Cynthia out was shattered.
Continuing to force his way out.
Not to mention whether they could escape.
Afterwards, they would definitely be targeted by Team Plasma because of that amazing ability.
By then, they wouldn't need to think about having a peaceful life in the Unova region.
However, with such a big commotion, the police station must have noticed.
With such a close distance, rescue should arrive soon.
"You don't need to think about waiting for the police to rescue you. As early as 5 minutes ago, another group of ours attacked the Pokémon Center on the other side of the police station. Do you think they will save the Pokémon Center first? Or save this museum that gets few visitors a day first?"
The leader rubbed his fingers, his gaze shifted from Cynthia to Will, a smile appearing on his face.
"Our Team Plasma has always advocated liberating Pokémon, letting them return to nature. Your Pokémon are all from the Sinnoh region, right? Hand them over, and we can let you go."
Hearing the other party say this.
Will sighed in relief.
Although Team Plasma's so-called liberation of Pokémon was pure bullshit, the real purpose was to monopolize the power of Pokémon to rule the world.
But Team Plasma was indeed only interested in Pokémon.
For those who obediently handed over Pokémon, they were always too lazy to spend more effort dealing with them.
Not only Team Plasma.
Evil organizations in various regions were mostly like this.
The targets were basically Pokémon, not humans, and if they could get money, they were unwilling to kill unnecessarily.
Especially Team Plasma in its founding period.
Killing people basically meant facing the end of being dug out three feet deep by the Unova League and strangled in the cradle.
Even if these few people dared to kill, their superiors wouldn't allow them to do so.
This meant.
Cynthia might suffer a bit today.
But at least there wouldn't be life danger.
Especially...
Team Plasma's time must be very tight right now!
Will certainly didn't believe Team Plasma prepared such a big formation specifically for them.
Not to mention a few Sinnoh Pokémon weren't worth it.
Just this preparation couldn't be planned temporarily today, but he and Cynthia just arrived in Nacrene City this morning.
This group's target was something in this museum, most likely...
Will's gaze shifted to the lyre on the exhibition stand behind him.
He was thinking here.
Cynthia behind him took a step forward directly.
"Don't even think about it! I will absolutely not hand over Riolu and the others to you!"
Cynthia held Will's hand (paw), not retreating at all facing eight adults and sixteen Pokémon.
Will turned to look at her.
He could feel that Cynthia was actually quite scared now; her arms were trembling uncontrollably.
Just.
Even if scared, she wouldn't retreat, wouldn't hand over her partners to these bad guys.
"Hehe, when I was your age, I was also so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, always putting bonds, friendship, and the like first..."
The leader stopped halfway, having his sleeve pulled by the person beside him, then waved his hand.
"Not wasting words with you; villains die from talking too much. Do it!"
With his wave.
The other seven people all moved, leading their Pokémon to rush forward.
"Riolu..."
Cynthia's eyes widened, just about to tell Will to run.
The next second.
Will hugged Cynthia and ran toward the corner.
Then Cynthia realized.
The target of those people was actually not them, but the lyre!
Cynthia wasn't stupid either.
She quickly kept quiet to lower her presence, hoping this group would grab the thing and leave.
This made Will nod secretly.
If it were teenage Lorelei, she might have jumped out and shouted to stop these people's theft.
"Eh?! So fast!"
The leader's eyes lit up, unable to help licking his lips.
He didn't know the Lucario line could master the move Extreme Speed.
He might not even know there was a move called Extreme Speed.
He thought Will was gifted with special aptitude.
No matter what.
At this moment, he had targeted Will, preparing to take him for himself.
"Mm, get the lyre, and also get an excellent Pokémon; really lucky today."
The leader muttered with a smile.
He wasn't worried about whether the snatched Pokémon would listen to him.
Because Team Plasma had plenty of ways to make Pokémon obedient.
"Seismitoad, catch that cute baby dog for me."
He reached out and patted the big blue guy beside him.
Seismitoad immediately strode heavily toward Will.
Don't know why.
He didn't really want to hurt Will.
But no choice.
If he didn't listen, he would be beaten when he went back.
"Targeted me? Cynthia, hide here and don't come out, and don't run outside. Once they get the lyre, they won't dare to stay long and will inevitably leave soon. I'll deal with that Seismitoad."
Will reached out and rubbed Cynthia's head, then went to meet Seismitoad.
Now this museum was surrounded by Team Plasma people.
Cynthia running out would only run into other people blocking her.
The only way now was to stall for time as much as possible.
The police station would definitely mobilize manpower to rush here as soon as possible, and trainers around the museum wouldn't just watch these people do evil.
To ensure the safety of the lyre, Team Plasma would definitely hurry to leave after succeeding.
"Phew... stalling for three to five minutes should be about enough."
Will exhaled.
His gaze swept to other Team Plasma members; seven people were destroying the cover protecting the lyre.
Cracks had appeared on the cover.
Wait another minute, and they could get the lyre.
By then, even if this leader didn't want to leave, these subordinates would urge him to leave.
He just needed to hold on for three to five minutes.
"Mud Shot!"
The leader's voice came.
Seismitoad swung his arm, and four or five mud clumps shot toward Will instantly.
Will tilted his head left, swayed his body right, dodging all attacks effortlessly.
"Ho? Quite strong, I like you even more... Krookodile, you go too!"
The leader had a keen eye.
He saw at once that Seismitoad might not be a match, immediately calling the Krookodile beside him to help.
"Liquidation, Throat Chop!"
Commands issued.
Seismitoad's whole body was wrapped in streams of water, turning into a water column rushing toward Will.
And beside him, Krookodile was also wrapped in a brown-black energy body, slamming toward Will from another direction.
"Hmm..."
Will raised an eyebrow, his eyes shifting between these two Pokémon.
Finally determined the target.
He put his hands to his mouth, puffing up his chest violently.
BOOM!
A powerful and surging water column sprayed from Will's mouth, instantly impacting the Krookodile rushing at his face. Hydro Pump.
"ROAR!!"
Krookodile let out a painful scream.
His move was interrupted on the spot; the whole Pokémon flew back and hit the museum wall hard, unconscious.
One-shot kill!
At the same time.
THUD!
A muffled sound rang out.
Will was hit hard by Seismitoad and sent flying, falling to the ground and rolling twice.
But it just looked scary.
Immediately he did a kip-up and stood up.
Actually, Will wasn't injured much, just hurt a bit from the impact.
He had the Water Plate (Splash Plate) and Dread Plate, immune to Water and Dark damage (or resistant? Plates boost power, don't grant immunity usually, but maybe Sea Crown grants immunity/absorption like Water Absorb ability or just high resistance). Even if he took both Seismitoad and Krookodile's attacks just now, it wouldn't matter much.
The reason for choosing to deal with Krookodile first.
Was simply because being bitten hurts more than being hit. He was bitten by Sharpedo back then.
Hand swelled up!
"Tch, got some skills. Hey! Let all your Pokémon come help! I don't believe I can't catch you today!"
The leader grinned, with some viciousness in his smile; seemed a bit angry.
"Yes!" (x7)
The other seven Team Plasma members waved their hands, each sending a Pokémon to help.
Instantly Will was surrounded by eight Pokémon!
Will crouched and looked around, frowning tightly.
These eight Pokémon weren't higher level than him, but the gap wasn't big either; dealing with them together was really tricky.
But this level couldn't catch him, at most making him suffer some injuries.
"Garchomp! Dragon Pulse!"
"GARCHOMP!!"
A shock-inspiring roar rang out; for a moment, the eight Team Plasma members were startled.
Then a powerful light purple shockwave blasted over.
The formation of eight Pokémon surrounding Will was instantly dispersed.
The next moment.
Cynthia and Garchomp stood by Will's side.
"Didn't I tell you to hide?! Why are you so disobedient!"
"Did you want me to hide in the corner watching Riolu fight alone?! I am your partner, and also your trainer; I want to fight alongside you!"
Cynthia's expression didn't change; her attitude was firm.
Will glanced at her, didn't continue scolding her.
Settle this later.
The urgent task was to solve the situation in front. Because of Garchomp's appearance, the eight people in the museum were now facing a formidable enemy.
Although the movements of those seven people didn't stop, their gazes converged here.
Especially that leader.
His gaze looked Cynthia up and down, seemingly starting to re-evaluate this little girl he didn't care about just now.
This made Will curse secretly in his heart.
He let Cynthia hide, not just to survive this crisis safely.
What Will really worried about was Team Plasma noticing Cynthia and remembering her.
For the next year, they would travel in the Unova region.
This place was Team Plasma's base camp.
Being noticed by Team Plasma here had absolutely no benefits and only harm.
Thinking positively.
Team Plasma might think of recruiting a genius like Cynthia.
Thinking negatively.
In the future, they might specifically trouble Cynthia, snatching her powerful and rare Pokémon.
