The Chosen One

Yuga assessed the situation with the fallen Crobat and noticed that Tyson's strength hadn't changed significantly from their previous encounter.

Tyson, on the other hand, couldn't believe that in less than a year, he had become utterly powerless against the young boy before him. His once self-assured Crobat had fallen with just a single encounter.

"What's going on, Tyson? Do you know him?" the other middle-aged man asked, his expression serious.

It was evident to him that neither he nor Tyson were a match for the young boy before them.

Tyson didn't respond to his companion's question but quietly released two identical Fearow, ready to fight. He knew that if they didn't fight with all their might, they likely wouldn't escape today.

The other middle-aged man understood Tyson's intention and, without further questions, also released a Weezing.

They realized that their strength was insufficient, so they planned to use a combination of Pokémon to surround and attack Yuga and Gengar.

Tyson's two Fearow initiated an attack on Yuga. They had fought together many times before, displaying remarkable coordination. Their bodies rapidly spun, and their sharp beaks resembled drills as they lunged towards Yuga.

In an instant Chimecho appear, and she activated Reflect move formed an invisible wall in front of Yuga, where the two Fearow's sharp beaks collided.

On the other side, Arbok opened its enormous mouth, emanating dark energy waves. It employed Crunch and charged directly at Yuga.

Simultaneously, Weezing also took the opportunity to spit out Slude Bomb toward Gengar.

Gengar, floating by Yuga's side, observed the attacking Pokémon with a weird smile. It swiftly extended its plump right hand and rapidly launched a Shadow Ball, knocking Arbok back. Following this, it used its Psychic power to control the incoming sludge bombs, redirecting them back towards Weezing, smearing its face.

Arbok's strength was comparable to Tyson's Crobat, but taking Gengar's Shadow Ball head-on had left it incapacitated, following in Crobat's footsteps.

On the contrary, Weezing was only hit by its own sludge bomb, and it had a high resistance, so it barely held on.

This momentary loss of confidence occurred to the trainer of Arbok and Weezing, and was a little discouraged for a while.

However, during this brief moment of discouraged, Weezing was once again hit by Gengar's Psychic power and collapsed.

The battle had ended so quickly that the trainer couldn't react in time.

On the other side, After blocking the two Fearows' direct attack with Reflect move, Chimecho swiftly unleashed a gravity field. The two Fearows were caught off guard and immediately overwhelmed by Chimecho's gravity field. They struggled desperately on the ground, causing their feathers to scatter like weeds, flying in all directions.

Yuga couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for the Fearow. Their frantic struggles would likely leave them bald!

The gravity field generated by Chimecho was overwhelmingly powerful, and the two Fearow couldn't break free. They could only squirm helplessly on the ground, causing their feathers to fall in disarray.

Yuga watched the two struggling Fearow, resembling Magikarp using Splash, leaping and flopping around, but achieving nothing.

In the end, probably because they were too tired, the two Fearows simply lay on the ground and stopped moving.

These two Fearow were probably the only Pokémon he had seen that lost their battle capabilities, with only their exhaustion as the cause.

Having effortlessly resolved the two opponents, Chimecho came over to Yuga, seeking affectionate strokes.

Observing his two Fearow lying motionless on the ground, Tyson's expression turned extremely grim. He hadn't imagined that the gap between him and Yuga would be so vast.

At this point, Tyson had given up struggling. He knew that even if he released more Pokémon, he wouldn't stand a chance against Yuga. Besides, the two Fearow had been his strongest Pokémon.

On the other side, the companion of Tyson seemed eager to release more Pokémon, but Gengar quickly took control of the situation.

After capturing both of them, Yuga confiscated their Pokémon Balls and collected the Pokémon that had lost their fighting spirit.

Yuga took out two ropes and had Gengar tie up both of the captives.

"Who are you exactly?" Tyson couldn't help but ask as he was being carried past Yuga by Gengar.

The young boy before him possessed formidable strength, yet he appeared exceptionally young. Tyson couldn't fathom why he had never heard of such an individual before.

Yuga merely smiled at him and didn't respond, which left Tyson fuming.

After tossing the two captives into the cargo hold, Yuga noticed a pair of eyes watching him intently.

"When did you wake up?" Yuga asked the young child in front of him.

"Just now," the child replied, their voice sounding very young and leaving Yuga unable to discern their gender.

This awakened child was the "Chosen One" that Yuga and Chatot were searching for.

Yuga asked, "Did you see everything just now?"

The child nodded.

Yuga continued, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Once again, the child shook their head.

Yuga: "Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?"

The child shook his head again.

"Come here," Yuga beckoned to the child.

The child obediently crawled out of the cargo hold and stood by the doorway, quietly observing Yuga.

This child was exceptionally quiet, which made Yuga wonder if there was something wrong. Finding someone who met their requirements had been quite challenging, and he couldn't afford any problems.

Yuga glanced inside the cargo hold and noticed that, apart from this child, the others were still unconscious.

He instructed Gengar to watch over the Team Rocket members in the cargo hold and had Chatot take care of the unconscious children. Then, he gently picked up the child from the cargo hold.

As he held the child, Yuga realized that they were incredibly light, with a bony frame and barely any flesh. It was uncomfortable to hold them because they felt so bony.

Were all the children like this? Had they suffered some form of mistreatment?

Placing the child in the front passenger seat of the truck, Yuga started driving away from the location.

Throughout the journey, the child remained remarkably well-behaved, neither crying nor making a fuss. They sat quietly in the front seat, occasionally stealing glances at Yuga.

While Yuga might have thought his actions were discreet, the child's keen observation didn't escape his notice.

At least this child seemed normal! Seeing the child's subtle actions, Yuga finally let go of any thoughts that the child might have intellectual problems.

Just then, Yuga heard the sound of a growling stomach, and it was coming from the child sitting beside him.

"Are you hungry?" Yuga asked.

The child nervously clutched their shriveled little belly, appearing somewhat embarrassed. However, their dirty face made it difficult for Yuga to discern their expression.

Seeing that the child remained silent, Yuga shook his head in understanding and took out some food, offering it to the child.

"Go ahead and eat!"
