Chapter 400 Gigantamax Research Institute
"Boom~"
Like a sledgehammer, Warhammer's double-edged headbutt completely shattered the three Bug-type Pokémon's Absolute Predatory Spin. In the aftermath of the energy explosion, the three Trainers using their Z-Moves suddenly screamed in pain.
If the release of Z-moves is interrupted, the trainer will also suffer backlash, and in the worst case, he will become listless or unconscious.
The Z bracelet on the leader's wrist burst into glaring cracks, and the energy on the turquoise insect-type Z crystal was completely backfired, and the energy flowed back along their arms frantically.
The three stumbled back, their faces instantly turning pale. One of them slammed his knees against the ground, blood gushing from his throat, his once upright figure hunched like a dead branch. The other two collapsed to the ground, their eyes rolled back in a coma, foam gushing from the corners of their mouths. The air was filled with the acrid smell of burning energy, mingling with the fishy odor of Bug-type Pokémon, creating a sickening odor.
"So the backlash from a Z move is so terrifying..." Zhang Heng clutched the diving ball of Bodangshui, feeling a little nervous. He looked up at the Tanabata Bluebird, which had regained its wings. Its mega-evolved form had been forced to retreat, demonstrating the power of a triple Z move. If he persisted any longer, with Zhang Heng's current strength, he had no chance of winning. The opponent was well prepared.
There were still traces of blood on the wings of the Qixi Bluebird caused by the silk thread, but at this moment it was standing in front of him vigilantly, staring at the powerful Warhammer Dragon in front of it, and the flying energy lingering between its feathers was flowing again.
Just then, steady, rhythmic footsteps suddenly rang out from the alley entrance. Zhang Heng looked in the direction of the sound. Moonlight streamed down the deep alley, outlining a sturdy figure at the corner.
As the footsteps drew closer, a middle-aged man in a long, dark grey trench coat slowly emerged. His coat swayed gently with his steps, and the Poké Ball at his waist shone coolly in the moonlight. His calm aura seemed to suppress the surrounding chaos.
The Warhammer Dragon was the first to notice his arrival. Its huge body moved clumsily, and its hammer-shaped head rubbed carefully towards the man's palm, like a giant beast acting coquettishly.
"Well done, Xiao Heng." The man took off his sunglasses, revealing the scar at the corner of his eye, and his voice was full of praise. "It seems that you have made great progress. You even mastered Mega Evolution."
As he spoke, he also looked at the three Pokémon in front of Zhang Heng and found that they were all well trained. There were two shiny Pokémon and one dragon Pokémon that could mega evolve. Zhang Heng's growth could be said to be rapid.
"Uncle Luo! Why are you here?"
The person who came was Luo Hong. The old man had long anticipated that Zhang Heng would be targeted by foreign forces, so he asked Luo Hong to help look after him and take action at the critical moment. Luo Hong naturally saw that Zhang Heng still had some unused cards, so he let these young generations feel the pressure from abroad. As an elder, he would not let his juniors be bullied.
"I came here to protect the old man, and I came to see you by the way. I didn't expect that the old man was right."
He glanced at the three unconscious people on the ground, his eyes instantly turning cold: "Foreign forces are becoming more and more arrogant. They actually dared to take action in the city."
"Om~"
Ripples began to form in the space around Luo Hong. A rock with a pitted surface resembling a crescent moon suddenly appeared. A Pokémon with red eyes on either side of its body and a distinctive beak-like structure on the front suddenly appeared. It was Luo Hong's most mysterious Rock-type Pokémon—Moonstone!
Luo Shu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he gave Yue Shi a sinister look. A dazzling purple light instantly erupted from Yue Shi's body, and distorted ripples appeared in the air.
Before the three people collapsed on the ground could scream, invisible super-energy gripped their heads like an iron clamp. With the sound of bones breaking, the three heads exploded, and red and white objects splattered on the mottled ground.
The guy in the back, who had been carrying the rocket launcher, now looked ashen, his crotch a dark stain. He slumped to the ground, desperately pushing his legs against the ground to push back, a discordant whimpering coming from his throat, like a dying stray dog.
Uncle Luo didn't even glance at him, his leather boots thumping over the gravel as he walked straight towards the three headless bodies. With the tip of his boot, he lifted the corpse's bloodstained collar and stared at the dark red four-trigram tattoo on the man's collarbone.
He sneered, "You're just a clown from South Korea. You steal our culture every day, but you can't even learn the whole eight trigrams. You came up with the four trigrams as your national emblem. What a useless imitator."
As he spoke, he squatted down, his fingertips as fast as lightning, and he skillfully picked off the turquoise crystals from the three Z bracelets and threw them to Zhang Heng.
Haunter rushed over, its dark blue body turned into two afterimages. Its empty palms caught the crystal steadily and turned around mischievously.
Uncle Luo saw this and smiled, which was rare for him: "Your partner is quite clever."
Zhang Heng shook his head helplessly. "Yeah, this guy loves to show off, but he's also always decisive at the crucial moment."
Under the moonlight, Uncle Luo gazed at Zhang Heng's energetic figure, his eyes filled with relief. "Go ahead. You have things you need to deal with, and I'll help you clean up the mess. I'll hand this piece of trash over to the Alliance for interrogation later."
He kicked the incontinent spy beside him with his toes, and the man immediately screamed in fear. Uncle Luo directed Yue Shi and ordered, "Keep an eye on him. Don't let him bite his tongue to death."
The moonstone radiated a blue light, using its psychic energy to control the paralyzed spy. The spy stiffly stood up and stood behind Uncle Luo. Uncle Luo turned and walked towards the alley entrance, his windbreaker rustling in the night breeze. "Next time we meet, I hope you can give me a bigger surprise."
Zhang Heng looked at Uncle Luo's back as he walked away. The wind at the alley entrance blew up a few blood-stained dead leaves, which swirled in the moonlight.
He clenched the Z-Stone in his hand, the cold touch a reminder of the brutality of this battle. Haunter hovered over his shoulder, uttering a worried "hehe" sound, while Doron Messiah poked his head out from the shadows, his round eyes surveying the mess with curiosity.
"We have to get to the research institute quickly." Zhang Heng took a deep breath and put the Poké Ball into his backpack.
At this moment, the communicator on his body suddenly vibrated, and an encrypted message popped up on the screen: "There is an abnormality at the Xingyao Research Institute, come quickly." The sender was Ivan.
A chill ran up his spine, and Zhang Heng immediately realized that this was no coincidence.
The foreign attack and the abnormalities at the research institute might be inextricably linked. He looked at Haunter, who, understandingly, transformed into a cloud of black mist, enveloping him and Doron Messiah, plunging them into the shadows. Zhang Heng then took off running.
When Zhang Heng arrived at the outskirts of the research institute, the gigantic laboratory under the night sky was emitting a cold and hard metallic luster, and its angular outlines were like a dormant mechanical beast.
A strange red light seeped out of the broken glass windows, the crisscrossing pipes made a low humming sound in the wind, and the light and shadow of the red warning lights intertwined with the burnt smoke wafting out of the building, exuding an air of danger.
In this dilapidated scene of the research institute, there is a UFO flashing red light in the sky.
Zhang Heng could see the huge red UFO from a distance, with three red and white clouds floating above it, which clearly showed that it was Gigantamax!
He couldn't help but say excitedly, "Ivan's Iolup? He completed Dynamax? No! Or Gigantamax! The research was successful! But why is the research institute destroyed like this?"
