...
"Salam, Dragon Rush!"
Joanna sees Natsu letting Snorlax cast a "Curse", and with her knowledge of Snorlax as a Pokémon, she knows that it shouldn't be used forever, so she decisively launches an attack.
"Roar-!!"
Salamence's wings trembled, and his body was quickly wrapped in a thick layer of Dragon Type energy, and moved towards Snorlax at an extremely fast speed.
Salamence became faster after doing "Dragon Dance".
This makes the biggest profit even bigger.
No doubt.
With Snorlax's slow speed, right after chanting "Curse", there was absolutely no chance of parrying Salamence's attack.
But with what Snorlax is capable of right now, it's said
what to defend?
bang! !
Salamence hit Snorlax's belly, which was covered in fat, and hit him in no time.
After all this time, it can still play a role.
Although the effect of the Characteristic Trait "Thick Fat" is not triggered, the effect of reducing physical damage is still there.
While Salamence quickly withdrew to prevent Snorlax from taking the opportunity to fight back, Snorlax slowly stood up from the ground.
The broad and thick palm gently brushed against the thin layer of white fur on the belly.
His narrow eyes looked at Salamence, alert in the air.
"Crack?"
'There he is?'
This extremely provocative behavior and words instantly angered Salamence, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Joanna pouted too.
"Salam, Flamethrower!"
As Salamence's mouth opened, a gust of scorching flame gushed out, and a terrifying pillar of fire lit up the area.
"Continue."
However, in the face of such an attack, Natsu remains unmoved, only continuing to let Snorlax use "Curse".
joke.
Snorlax's "Dragon Rush" didn't take it seriously, how could a trivial "Flamethrower" damage Snorlax?
It's just itching.
Natsu will ask Snorlax to continue using "Curse" as long as Salamence doesn't intend to descend.
Snorlax remained unharmed until the fire subsided.
Joanna's mouth twitched.
She also saw now, that Snorlax's Trait was "Thick Fat", and Fire Type moves posed a limited threat to him.
The current Snorlax was, in Joanna's eyes, like a very thick city wall.
It seemed that Salamence had little effect.
Do not hesitate!
Hesitating will get you nothing!
"Salamence, hurry up, Rage!"
Joanna chose to give it a try.
Although Snorlax strengthens his physical defenses, his weakness is still physical defense.
She could only see if "Rage" could break this deadlock.
"Roar-!!"
Salamence roared furiously, his eyes were red, and the Dragon Type energy in his body quickly completed the transformation from blue to purple to crimson.
Once "Rage" is cast, it cannot be changed.
It will only stop when the Pokémon truly vents the anger in its heart.
But a Dragon Type Pokémon in a very angry state is terrifying.
bang!
Terrible impact, Salamence continued to attack Snorlax.
Teeth, claws, wings, tail, as long as it can be used, Salamence pours all his energy into attacking Snorlax.
However.
Facing Salamence's ferocious attack, Snorlax who felt pain also managed to awaken the will to fight in his heart.
Ka ka ka ——
White ice crystals covered Snorlax's palm, and a gloomy and cold aura spread rapidly along Snorlax's palm and slowly rose.
Ice Punch!
An angry Salamence attacks in front of Snorlax.
Salamence was not small in size, but in front of Snolax, a huge monster with a body size of nearly four meters, still looked rather small.
Coupled with Salamence's insane attack, Snorlax raised his stomach to resist it, with an expressionless expression, like an adult bullying a child.
Then look.
Snorlax moved.
Snorlax is indeed slow, but speed here refers to his movement speed, not his attack speed.
The raised fist reflected prismatic light in the sunlight.
Joanna looked grim as she looked at Snorlax's palm.
But Salamence, who had issued "Rage", was no longer under her control.
Wow-
Snorlax's palm fell sharply, making a lot of noise.
bang! ! !
"Ice Punch" slapped Salamence's head.
A quick hit, directly slamming Salamence into the ground.
"Huuu!!"
Eevee clenched her fists and her eyes were full of excitement.
Beat it! Hit him!
This little boy hid a cruel character.
Mainly because the visual impact is not small.
Salamence's attack dealt Snorlax a bit of damage, but Snorlax slammed him to the ground.
Consideration.
Salamence, who was four times weaker, forcibly resisted this fist from Snorlax. It can't be said that the effect is extraordinary, but the effect is very extraordinary!
Salamence's "Rage" status was forcibly interrupted by Snorlax.
The "Ice Punch" was hit on the forehead, and the biting pain and cold brought him back to his senses instantly.
Shaking his head and propping up his body, before he could fully react to his current state.
He saw.
The ice crystal-covered fist was several times larger than a sandbag, attracting his eyes even more. The bigger, biting coldness on the ice crystal made all of its scales stand up before they could touch it.
bang!!
Another hit.
Salamence, who finally got up again, was stuck on the ground again before he actually got up.
And.
This time I really couldn't get up.
"Buyy!"
The most excited was little Eevee, she was even more excited than Snorlax who won Salamence himself.
This beam, even if it is forged.
Little Eevee clapped one hand.
Joanna's face was very ugly.
She anticipated Salamence's defeat when she saw Natsu summon Snorlax.
But she didn't expect to lose so easily.
Salamence's attacks are like hitting cotton, while Snorlax's two "Ice Punch" shots are deadly.
She was slightly dumbfounded by Salamence's defeat.
Joanna's hand almost subconsciously touched the Poké Ball that was wrapped around her waist.
"If I were you, I wouldn't make the next move." said Natsu calmly.
Joanna's movements froze.
Because she felt the cold air slowly spreading from under her feet.
Look down.
It is her own shadow.
But in her shadow, Joanna felt a strong threat.
It's Pokemon!
And also Ghost-Type Pokemon!
Is he ready to take care of his anxiety and agree to play cards?
She lifted her head and saw Natsu's palm stroking Eevee's hair, looking at her calmly.
Joanna was taken aback.
She lost.
And still lost the head-to-head battle.
A result like this makes it a little unacceptable.
It's not that she can't accept defeat, but she can't accept Natsu, who has always been considered her subordinate. How could she complete the reversal of her power in such a short time, and it still overtakes the corner, firmly pressing it beneath her.
It's this kind of frustration that really makes her the most decadent.
Isn't that.
Is it true that you can't do it yourself?
Are you not as good as Yanxia?
Maybe helping Yanxia sit on the chair first, is the best for her?
After all, although she is now following the top seat, she has also been transferred from other people. Even if her abilities are good and her innate talent is very strong, why should someone else take care of you first? instead of taking care of their cronies?
So subtly, Joanna followed the top seat.
But actually not much different from acting alone.
It was just an unwritten rule within the Hunter's Guild that they had to have a boss.
Could be different from Yanxia.
The two of them can really cooperate completely, the grasshopper is standing on the rope.
Wait!
Why do I accept failure so comfortably?
When Joanna had this kind of absurd thought in her mind.
She suddenly shivered.
Look down sharply again.
She didn't know when, the silk satin that was sticking out of the shadows had been tied to her ankles.
When?!
"Strong will."
Natsu's voice sounded in her ears.
Unknowingly, Natsu had come to her, with deep blue circles in his eyes.
Psychic!
"You" Joanna was a little surprised to say it.
"Don't worry, I won't change my mind, make our cooperation a little smoother and give me more security."
Natsu's soft voice, falling in Joanna's ear, was like a lullaby to sleep, making her eyelids fight uncontrollably.
A few seconds later.
Joanna's eyes were completely closed.
"Ouch-"
Aegislash slowly emerged from her shadow, and the satin cloth that wrapped around Joanna's ankles was his arm.
Aegislash has the special ability to manipulate the minds and consciousness of others since his Honedge form.
In the Kalos Region, there are many legends about Aegislash.
Most are stories about Aegislash manipulating the minds of other people or Pokémon into submission.
Natsu's Aegislash rarely uses this ability, so far it's only been used once in the Groudon space, and the effects are great.
This is the second use.
But what is clear is that Joanna's determination is very different from Team Magma at that time.
Natsu himself has no intention of completely controlling Joanna.
It would only reduce her own abilities and autonomy.
Natsu joins the Hunter's Guild and needs helpers, not puppets.
"Enough." Natsu moved towards Aegislash while nodding.
"Ouch."
After realizing it, Aegislash let go of his hand, sank into the shadow, and returned to Natsu's shadow, continuing to work as a bodyguard.
Not long.
Joanna's eyelashes under her transparent glasses fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.
At first he was confused, but she immediately remembered Salamence's defeat to Snorlax Natsu just now.
Her face suddenly turned ugly, but she recovered quickly and shook her head in denial.
"You win, your strength is stronger than mine."
The possible life and death battle was settled subtly by Natsu.
Otherwise, with Joanna's character, it might not be easy to accept that Natsu turned around and pressed her under him.
Her arrogant temperament stems not only from Salamence, a Quasi-Legendary Pokémon, but also from her bones.
But now, she says she accepts the results and is willing to lead Natsu and do her best to help him.
Although Joanna was a little surprised to receive the results so quickly.
But the heart is not capable of generating much disgust and resistance.
As if.
In front of Natsu, she is very willing to give up her dominant position, and willing to be subordinated.
In the case of Natsu's intention, it was implanted deep in Joanna's heart.
Waiting for it to take root and sprout silently, bringing about a change of influence unseen by Joanna herself, growing, and finally becoming unbreakable.
"Let's work together to take the next position first." Natsu said with a smile.
"en." Joanna pursed her lips.
After all, she couldn't get a seat right now. After helping Yanxia up, she will only help more. This was what he was thinking at the moment.
"Was there a big event recently?"
Natsu walked to the cliff with Eevee in his arms.
"Yes." Joanna hesitated a little after thinking and said.
Recently, there was indeed a big event.
"Tell me."
"There's an 'Employer' who found an uninhabited island and wants us to help hunt Pokemon there." Joanna said bluntly.
Natsu frowned.
"Employer? An uninhabited island?"
The Pokemon world is huge.
Especially the sea.
Dangerous areas of the sea have never been thoroughly explored.
This has also led to some undiscovered Regions.
Maybe the Alliance already knew about it, but with the Alliance's strength, all they needed was stability.
So even if it is found out, it will not be announced until it is successfully resolved.
This includes the Alola Region and the Galar Region.
The Alliance might be hiding some other Region, Natsu didn't know.
But at the same time.
In addition to this large Region, there were many more large and small islands.
On some islands, supplies are scarce and Pokemon are scarce.
And there are also several islands, which are rich in supplies, and a wide variety of Pokémon.
And these islands, with any power, if they can get it, it must be a great fortune.
Major underground forces like Team Rocket, Team Magma, and Team Galactic have more islands under their control.
If not.
How do dormant forces like Team Magma and Team Galactic fulfill the organization's daily maintenance when they can't raise money to catch Pokemon?
What's more how to continue to develop and grow.
Of course.
Making money secretly in the cities of every Region was a real big deal, and these islands accounted for at most a third of their income.
But it's not a small amount.
Team Rocket has the biggest and most small secret islands besides Alliance.
After being excavated by Team Rocket, many islands became secret bases for various experiments.
"Yeah, it's said that Tom Ritchie brought the business, so she could win so many regular seats in a short amount of time, but I guess being called 'employer' is a certain strength."
Natsu nodded.
He thought so too.
Otherwise, big companies like Silver, Devon, and the Aether Foundation have the financial resources and the ability to find these unknown islands.
These islands are a bit easier to find than the various Secret and Alien Realms.
"Then our luck is on this island this time?" Natsu smirked.
Property.
He likes it the most.
"This is also an opportunity," added Joanna.
Well done, this grand mission is to compete for the four available seats.
"Yeah, that's also an opportunity."
Natsu glanced at Salamence, who was lying on the ground honestly, "Can you still move?"
"Roar-"
Salamence let out a low growl and braced himself.
"Let's go then."
Speaking, Natsu jumped with Eevee in his arms and jumped straight off the cliff.
Joanna pursed her lips.
"Looks like a madman now."
Stepping onto Salamence's back.
She added, "A reasonable madman."
And then she saw that Natsu, who was riding the Noivern, flew from the bottom of the mountain in a perfect arc. .
