Chapter 798 Subduing Darkrai: Li Shuwen's Unparalleled Wisdom!

Above the precipice, the moonlight shone like a ribbon.

Darkrai hovered in mid-air, black smoke swirling around him, his blue eyes coldly looking down at the Onion Ranger.

Darkrai raised his hand, and two balls of dark energy condensed in his palm.

The wave of evil can be launched at any time.

Li Shuwen gave the order: "Onion Soldiers, break the tiles!"

The Onion Warrior leaped forward, its long spear glowing white, and appeared before Darkrai in the blink of an eye, slashing down at Darkrai's head.

Darkrai's figure twisted in mid-air to avoid the attack, and at the same time, he waved his right hand, sending a wave of evil energy, which transformed into a black ring, hurtling towards the chest of the Onion Warrior.

The soldier neither dodged nor evaded; he drew a circle in front of him with his long spear, the tip of which shattered the dark ring, sending fragments flying in all directions.

Darkrai flew backward, raising his left hand as a blue electric current shot out from his palm.

Onion Soldiers swung their spears again, and vacuum waves condensed at the spear tip, transforming into an invisible air blast that precisely detonated the electric current.

The electric current exploded in the air, turning into countless tiny blue specks of light.

Darkrai raised both hands simultaneously, and two waves of evil energy shot out from the left and right sides at the same time, moving so fast that they left two dark trails in the air.

The figure of Cong Youbing drew an arc in the air—the Swallow Return.

It passed through the gap between the two evil ripples and appeared behind Darkrai.

The Onion Soldier's body slammed into Darkrai's back with a thud, sending Darkrai staggering forward a few steps.

Darkrai turned around angrily.

He stopped using the Evil Pulse, closed his eyes, and his body glowed with a purple light.

trick.

Darkrai's special attack power has been greatly increased, and the blue light in its eyes has become even deeper.

Then his eyes lit up with a dark blue light, and with a strong mental focus, an invisible spiritual force surged out like a tide, firmly binding Cong Youbing.

Onion Soldier's body froze in mid-air, his long onion spear held above his head, but he couldn't bring it down no matter what he did.

Li Shuwen's voice was calm. "Meteor Assault."

Onion Soldiers' bodies shone with a white light, which burst forth from within, shattering the shackles of their mental power.

Farfetch'd transformed into a golden meteor and crashed into Darkrai.

Darkrai's figure twisted in mid-air, launching a surprise attack and dodging the direct impact of Meteor Strike with incredible speed.

At the same time, he unleashed another wave of evil energy.

Onion Soldiers parried with their spears, and an explosion occurred.

Darkrai closed his eyes again, his trickery and special attack power increased once more, and his momentum reached its peak.

He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, merging the two waves of evil energy into a ball of pitch-black energy.

A bright blue light shone in Li Shuwen's eyes, and wave power surged forth, resonating with Cong Youbing's body.

"Onion Warrior, believe in your will, transform yourself into a dazzling golden meteor, soaring through the boundless sky, unleashing a powerful and unparalleled punch!"

Onion Soldiers looked up at the sky and roared.

The body shone with a dazzling golden light, not from the Z-Crystal, but from the fusion of the Aura Force and the individual's will.

Farfetch'd transformed into a golden meteor and crashed into Darkrai.

Darkrai's eyes flashed red; he felt a strong threat from this move, but Darkrai did not back down.

He is the embodiment of nightmares!

Darkrai increased his energy output and then pushed the black energy ball in his hand out, colliding with the golden meteor.

boom--!!!

The golden and black light intertwined, illuminating the cliff as if it were daytime.

The two forces were locked in a stalemate for several seconds before the golden meteor overwhelmed the black sphere of light, pierced through the evil wave, and slammed into Darkrai.

Darkrai was thrown into the air, crashing against the edge of the cliff, bouncing up, falling again, and sliding several meters.

During the long break, he lay face down on the rubble, his body charred black, as most of the black smoke dissipated.

But Darkrai was not unconscious; his eyes were still open.

The Onion Warrior emerged from the golden light, landed on the ground, panting heavily, and propped his spear on the ground.

Darkrai stood up, his hands radiating a glowing black energy.

The Onion Spear looked at Darkrai, exerted force with its feet, and unleashed a burst of energy. The long spear of the Onion Spear shone with white light once again—Brick Break.

Darkrai had no time to dodge and was hit directly by the attack.

Darkrai shuddered, then collapsed helplessly to the ground.

Li Shuwen took out a Luxury Ball and threw it at Darkrai. The Luxury Ball hit precisely and captured Darkrai.

It shook gently once, twice, three times—ding.

Successfully subdued.

Li Shuwen re-released Darkrai.

Darkrai stood in the moonlight, looking at Li Shuwen, the coldness in his eyes completely gone.

That powerful, unparalleled punch just now had completely won him over.

It involves the bond between humans and Pokémon, and the fusion of willpower and aura power.

Darkrai had never seen such a powerful and surging force before.

This human is qualified to be his trainer.

Li Shuwen squatted down and placed his palm on Darkrai's body.

Aura power surged into his body, repairing the damage caused by the battle.

Darkrai's body trembled slightly, not from pain, but from the warm power that made him feel both strange and comfortable.

After the treatment was completed, Li Shuwen took a bag of snacks out of his backpack and handed it to Darkrai.

Darkrai glanced at him, took the snack, and popped a piece into his mouth.

Darkrai's eyes widened instantly as the sweet taste melted on his tongue—a flavor he had never experienced before.

Darkrai chewed twice, swallowed, then took out another piece, and another, eating non-stop.

Li Shuwen smiled slightly. "These are just snacks. I'll make you some special food tailored to your constitution later, and it will taste even better."

Darkrai looked up, his eyes filled with curiosity, wondering how wonderful his special elf food would taste.

He looked at Li Shuwen, his eyes clearly saying, "Hurry up and make it so I can try it."

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "No problem, we'll make it for you when we get back."

When Li Shuwen brought Darkrai back to the villa, the campfire was still burning.

Cynthia stood up, looked him up and down, her eyes full of concern.

"Shuwen, are you alright?"

Chi Ri sat by the campfire, twirling a glass of red wine in his hand, a faint smile on his lips.

"Judging from Shuwen's smile, you can tell he has already won over Dalaiyi."

Li Shuwen smiled and opened his arms. "Darkrai, come out."

Darkrai emerged from Li Shuwen's shadow, flew into the sky, and circled once in the moonlight.

With his back to the bright moon, black smoke swirled around him, and blue eyes gleamed within the smoke, exuding an aura of dominance.

Cynthia looked up at the Darkrai and clapped softly.

"He's so handsome."

Li Shuwen took out various materials from his backpack. These precious ingredients, suitable for Dark-type Pokémon, were all collected during his training on the Champion Road.

He laid out the ingredients one by one on the table and began to prepare the food.

Darkrai landed beside him, tilting his head to watch his movements.

Li Shuwen's hands were very steady; every movement—cutting, chopping, mixing, and kneading—was precise and accurate.

Place it in the oven, and the aroma will quickly fill the air.

Darkrai kept circling the oven, eager to take it out and eat it right away.

"Don't rush, you can only truly savor the deliciousness if you're patient."

Li Shuwen plated the baked food and handed it to Daklai.

Darkrai lowered his head and took a sniff; the aroma was ten times stronger than the snacks from before.

He took a piece, put it in his mouth, chewed, and swallowed.

His eyes widened again, even more so than before.

He looked at Li Shuwen, his eyes revealing intense joy, as if to say: Delicious! So delicious! I want more!

Li Shuwen smiled. "Eat slowly, there's plenty more."

Meanwhile, deep within the nature reserve in the northwest corner.

Hunter J stood on the roof of a modified armored vehicle, pressing a remote control in his hand.

An electric grid descended from the sky, enveloping a swarm of giant butterflies.

The butterflies struggled, their wings charred black from the electric shock, and soon lost consciousness.

The minions swarmed forward and put the giant butterflies into cages one by one.

One of the henchmen timidly approached. "Boss, are we sure we won't get arrested by the police if we do this?"

Hunter J glanced at him dismissively. "What's there to be afraid of! Li Shuwen has already been taken away by the big shots above."

"Wusong's Pokémon were also severely damaged due to the last ambush, especially Bronze Bell, which won't recover for at least a month."

"Haven't you noticed that Wusong has been hiding in the camp without moving these past few days? He's even afraid to turn off the lights when he sleeps."

"Hurry up and load the Pokémon into the car and take them away; they're waiting to decorate the garden!"

The subordinate chuckled sheepishly. "Boss is brilliant, boss is brilliant."

"Yes, yes, I'll go right now!"

The armored vehicles returned fully loaded as they drove out of the nature reserve.

We had just entered a valley when a large tree blocked the road ahead.

The driver immediately slammed on the brakes and cursed.

"Who did this? Where did the tree come from?"

Hunter J jumped off the roof of the car and walked to the tree.

"Hurry up and move it, don't waste time."

Just as his men were about to make their move, blinding lights suddenly shone all around them.

Dozens of searchlights lit up simultaneously from all directions, illuminating the entire valley as if it were daytime.

Hunter J's expression changed.

Wusong stepped out from behind the light, with the bronze bell floating beside him. Its bronze-colored metal body was intact, and the light at its core was bright and stable.

"Hunter J, surrender now." Wusong's voice drifted in the night wind.

Hunter J's eyes were fixed on the bronze bell. "Wu Song, what are you doing here? Wasn't your Pokémon badly injured? Isn't the bronze bell supposed to take a month to recover?"

Wusong smiled and said:

"Hahaha, the idea that it takes a month to recover was something I deliberately had Miss Joey spread, just to lure you out."

Hunter J gritted his teeth and threw out four Poké Balls.

Salamence, Drapion, Garchomp, and Weavile emerged from the white light, the four Pokémon standing menacingly in front of Hunter J.

"My Pokémon are just as powerful! You think you can stop all four of my Pokémon by yourself?"

Wu Song dismissed it with disdain.

"You?!"

He raised his hand and threw out five Poké Balls.

Natu, Giratina, Mr. Mime, Alakazam, and Medicham stand side by side.

Behind Wu Song, fifty police officers emerged from the woods, followed closely by twenty special investigators.

Arrest them all!

Hatake Toshio stood at the very front of the group, with Raidenmon crouching at his feet, its tail held high.

Hunter J's face turned completely pale.

"Bronze bell, strengthen your spirit and focus," Wu Song commanded.

A ghostly blue light shone from the bronze bell's eyes, and its spiritual power surged forth like a tide, binding both the Salamence and Garchomp simultaneously.

The two Pokémon struggled, but Bronze Bell's mental power was too strong, and they couldn't break free at all.

"Kirin, Alakazam, Hyper Beam."

Two beams of light shot towards the Dragon Scorpion and the Weavile, knocking them away.

"Mr. Mime, Psychic Wave".

Mr. Mime drew circles in front of him with his hands, and a colorful psychic wave shot towards Garchomp, blasting it away.

"Alakazam, illusion beam."

Colorful light shone in Alakazam's eyes, and the illusionary beam enveloped the salamander, causing its gaze to become unfocused as it fell from the sky.

"Charem, unleash your power!"

Charem disappeared from his spot and appeared in front of Hunter J, placing a palm on her chest.

Hunter J's body stiffened, and he slumped to the ground.

The whole process took less than ten seconds, and Hunter J was taken down by Wusong.

Hatake Toshio was the first to rush forward, defeating several of Hunter J's men, pinning them to the ground, and handcuffing their hands.

He stood up and saluted Wusong.

"Reporting to King Wusong, Hunter J and all his men have been captured!"

Wu Song nodded. "Well done."

Hatake Totsuyoshi recalled his Thunder Beast, his eyes gleaming. "It was Gosho Ten'ō's extraordinary wisdom that led the enemy into a trap."

Wusong smiled slightly and shook his head. "It wasn't my wisdom, it was Shuwen's plan. He left this suggestion when he treated my Pokémon."

"Those people want to drive him away, so let him go. At the same time, heal my Pokémon. We deliberately feign weakness to lure them out."

Hatake Tomoyuki's eyes lit up. "So it was Master Shuwen's plan! He truly deserves the title of Midas Touch; his wisdom is unparalleled!"

Wusong looked at the giant butterflies locked in cages and the poachers being put into police cars.

The moonlight spilled into the valley and onto his tired yet determined face.

He recalled Li Shuwen's parting words—"Take care."

He did it.

The masterminds received news that Hunter J had been captured.

The meeting room was deathly silent; the ashtrays were overflowing with cigarette butts, and the air was so stuffy it was suffocating.

"Quickly, send someone to rescue Hunter J!" a voice said urgently.

"If we can't save her, then kill her!" another voice said, its eyes flashing with malice.

No one refuted.

The phone rang, someone answered it, listened for a few words, and then their face turned ashen.

"Hunter J has been put on a plane and is scheduled to be taken directly to the Sinnoh League headquarters, where he will be personally guarded by Gosho."

The meeting room fell silent once again.

Outside the window, the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and it was pitch black.

"If all else fails, let the plane crash mid-flight."

"It's just an airplane, it's not like we can't do it."

"Are you crazy! How can you work within the Sinnoh League after doing something like this?"

"A couple of days ago, a mysterious force suddenly wiped out several of our secret outposts. Wusong might be behind it all!"

"This is outrageous! How can we possibly fight against Wusong, one of the Four Heavenly Kings!"

"You don't really think we can beat Wusong, do you?"

The next morning, Li Shuwen hummed a song as she went to eat breakfast.

Cynthia asked curiously, "Why are you so happy?"

"Hunter J has been captured!"

Early in the morning, Li Shuwen received a message from Wu Song informing him of what had happened the previous night.
