A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

Chapter 254 The target is Zhang Heng?

Zhang Heng no longer cared about the situation in the stadium, but followed Xiao Xi and the two mysterious men in black suits all the way to a remote corner outside the stadium.

There was a black luxury car parked there. It had a shiny body and dark windows, so it was impossible to see what was inside.

The two big men looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, one of them stepped forward and skillfully opened the back door of the car.

Xiao Xi approached the car slowly. Just as she was about to get in, her green vine snake seemed to sense something. It turned its head suddenly, looking straight towards the direction where Zhang Heng was hiding, spitting out its tongue.

Zhang Heng was startled and subconsciously held his breath. After pressing his body tightly against the lamppost next to him, his heart began to beat uncontrollably.

He prayed silently in his heart that he was not discovered, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Xiao Xi glanced around, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile, and then she got into the car.

The car door slowly closed, the car started, the engine made a low roar, and slowly drove away.

Seeing this, Zhang Heng quickly poked his head out from behind the lamppost and quickly followed without attracting anyone else's attention.

But he was so focused that he didn't notice a raised tile beneath his feet. He stepped on it, instantly losing his balance and stumbling forward. In his panic, he even knocked over a nearby trash can. The "clang" sounded particularly harsh in this relatively quiet corner.

Xiao Xi, who was in the car, heard the sound of the trash can falling to the ground and immediately said to the driver, "Stop the car, the fish is hooked."

A cold smile flashed in his eyes, and without hesitation he ordered the Green Vine Snake beside him: "Green Vine Snake, use the vine whip to attack in that direction!"

The green vine snake understood the message, its slender body twisting like a spring. Several tough vines whipped towards Zhang Heng's hiding place like sharp arrows with a whirring sound. Wherever the vines touched, the dust on the ground was kicked up and the surrounding debris was shattered.

At the critical moment, Zhang Heng reacted extremely quickly, rolling forward, his body close to the ground, and cleverly avoiding the attack of the whip. The whip lashed the wall where he had just hidden, leaving deep whip marks.

Seeing this, Zhang Heng knew that the other side was waiting for him to take the bait. Now his father was still in the arena and had no time to take care of him. He immediately made a plan in his mind, jumped up from the ground, and wanted to turn around and run away.

Suddenly, a white light shot out from the back seat of the car. When the white light dissipated, a Pokémon appeared. Its body was mostly black, its face was light purple, it had a small red mouth, and there were spherical structures on both sides of its head that looked like black hairpins, each with four bows on it. There were also white bows on its neck and abdomen.

The childlike Pokémon, shrouded in mystery, suddenly raised its arms high. Its eyes, a strange blue light swirled wildly, like two balls of burning ghostly fire, locking onto Zhang Heng with uncanny precision as he straightened up and attempted to flee.

Instantly, strange, supernatural energies surged from its palms. Like nimble water snakes, these energies intertwined and converged in the air, transforming into rippled halos in an instant.

The light ring flickered with an eerie glimmer, and with lightning speed, it engulfed Zhang Heng tightly. Zhang Heng felt an invisible, powerful force pressing in from all sides, his legs feeling as if they were cast with lead blocks, so heavy that he couldn't move an inch.

What's even more strange is that even his shadow cast on the ground seems to be nailed down by a mysterious force and cannot move at all.

Zhang Heng turned around suddenly and looked at the humanoid Pokémon. His heart suddenly trembled and he said, "Gothic kid?!"

Then the Gothic boy's attribute panel appeared in front of Zhang Heng.

Pokémon Name: Gothic Kid

Attribute: Super Power

Level: 40 (Lord-level combat power)

Potential: King

Features: Shadow Stepping (Hidden Feature)

Gothic Kid, a Pokémon manipulator and the evolved form of Goth Baby, uses hypnosis to control Pokémon and humans. Rumors of Gothic Kids taking Pokémon and humans away in their sleep were widespread.

He excels at controlling others with his mental power, and possesses the top-tier restrictive ability, Shadow Step. It seems the opponent came prepared, and their target is Zhang Heng!

Zhang Heng was not afraid at all. He communicated with the water scroll on his wrist. The energy of the water scroll dissipated and broke the effect of stepping on the shadow, but Zhang Heng still maintained a controlled posture and was not exposed.

He shouted loudly: "Bluebird, it's your turn!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly pressed the button of the Poké Ball on his waist. A white light flashed, and the bluebird appeared in the air, chirping happily.

Its fluffy cotton wings trembled slightly, as if declaring its intention to fight to the enemy.

Seeing this, Xiao Xi's face relaxed. She slowly stepped out of the car, her high heels making crisp sounds as they stepped on the ground. She said coldly, "Zhang Heng, right? This won't save you. Green vine snake, use the vine whip to seal it!"

The green vine snake's slender body twisted nimbly, and several tough vines instantly emerged from both sides of its body, dancing quickly in the air like a lively living creature.

The vine whips came towards Zhang Heng's retreat with a whistling sound, like a dense rain of arrows. In the blink of an eye, they intertwined into an impenetrable vine whip barrier behind him.

Zhang Heng's brows knitted tightly together. He knew the power of the vine whip. Once entangled, it would be difficult to escape. His brain raced, and almost instantly, he decisively instructed the blue bird, "Blue bird, quickly use the cotton to defend yourself and block the vine whip!"

The blue bird flapped its wings vigorously, and in the blink of an eye, a thick layer of white and soft cotton like a cloud tightly wrapped its body. Then the blue bird shook, and all the cotton around its body fell onto the ground.

The cotton continued to expand, becoming thicker and thicker, like a solid shield. The green vine snake's whip lashed at the cotton, but the cotton's toughness cushioned its impact, making it difficult to break through.

At this moment, the two burly men who had been standing guard quickly released their Pokémon. A ferocious wolfhound howled to the sky, emitting a chilling aura of murderous intent, its sharp fangs gleaming coldly in the light.

An Infernape was beating its chest excitedly, each beat accompanied by a dull sound. It looked so impatient, as if it was about to tear the enemy into pieces in the next second.

"Big Wolfhound, use the wave of evil!"

"Inferno, use Sonic Punch!"

Following the command from the two men in black, the wolfhound opened its bloody mouth and a wave of inky black energy surged out, carrying a heart-pounding evil aura as it swiftly swept towards Zhang Heng. Was it directly attacking the trainer?!

The Inferno Monkey let out an excited roar, his arms dancing like lightning, and his fists slammed towards Zhang Heng at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.

Every time he threw a punch, a sharp and piercing whistling sound was set off in the air. The wind from the punch was like a sharp blade, carrying a thousand pounds of force directly to Zhang Heng's throat, chest and abdomen and other vital parts.

Zhang Heng's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart beat wildly in his chest, as if it was about to burst through his chest. The murderous intent that was coming at him was too terrifying.

Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He stared intently at the inferno that was closing in on him and shouted, "Blue Bird, fly higher! Use Storm!"

The bluebird chirped, its petite body bursting with astonishing strength as it flapped its fluffy, cotton-like wings with all its might. Each flap of its wings whipped up a powerful gust of air, lifting it rapidly upward.

It flexibly drew an arc in the air, like a lively white cloud, and then suddenly flapped its wings with all its strength. In an instant, a strong storm that covered the sky and the sun roared up.

The storm, centered on the bluebird, raged wildly in all directions. The violent wind swept up all the surrounding sand, rocks, and debris, forming a massive whirlwind.

Zhang Heng was securely placed in the center of the cyclone—the eye of the storm. The fierce wind whistled past him, but could not touch him at all.
