Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Chapter 831 Dealing with Giratina

Meanwhile, Yang Ming was still struggling to maintain the situation.

"Roaring Moon, use Dragon Claw!"

Yang Ming was very cunning. Faced with the nearly out-of-control Giratina, he did not choose to confront it head-on, but instead commanded Roaring Moon to carry out guerrilla warfare.

Roaring Moon nimbly circled behind Giratina, slapped Giratina on the back with its paw, and then turned and ran away without lingering.

Giratina's eyes widened, its crimson pupils flashing with rage. It roared, swung its tail, and sent a Shadow Ball hurtling toward Roaring Moon.

Roaring Moon reacted quickly, dodging to the side and then charging towards Giratina again.

"Crush it!"

This completely enraged Giratina, who roared and chased after Roaring Moon at full speed.

Seeing that he had the upper hand, Yang Ming decided to quit immediately and rode away on the Roaring Moon.

“I feel like we’re wasting our time,” Gadriya muttered to herself, sitting next to Yang Ming. “After all, you’ve already ambushed it seven or eight times since then, but you haven’t been able to do any damage to Giratina at all.”

There is an immeasurable power gap between "gods" and "mortals," and even if Roaring Moon were to die, it would not be possible to defeat Giratina.

Yang Ming agreed wholeheartedly, but he was very confident in his plan, so he said calmly, "What's there to be afraid of? Just watch my performance later."

"Roaring Moon, retreat according to the original route."

With a long cry, Roaring Moon accelerated and sped off along its predetermined route. Giratina pursued relentlessly, its speed increasing and the distance between them closing rapidly. Gadria nervously gripped Yang Ming's sleeve. "It's catching up! What's your plan?"

"Don't rush, we're almost there."

Directly in front of Roaring Moon was Dialga, who had gone berserk. At this moment, it was engaged in a fierce battle with many trainers and was completely unaware that Yang Ming and his companion were approaching it.

"Sure enough, these guys lost their minds after being corrupted by darkness. Without a trainer to guide them, they even lost their most basic sense of danger," Yang Ming thought to himself.

Just then, Gadriya, who was keeping watch behind him, shook his body vigorously: "Giratina has disappeared. It's about to use that move."

A glint of light flashed in Yang Ming's eyes; he had been waiting for this moment all along.

Just as Giratina's body completely became ethereal and she began to use her signature move, "Shadow Strike," Yang Ming suddenly shouted, "Cattleya, Teleport!"

Gardelia was taken aback. She hadn't expected Yang Ming to treat her like a Pokémon, but the situation was urgent and she didn't have time to think. She quickly used her psychic powers. As a beam of light enveloped them, Yang Ming and his group were instantly teleported dozens of meters away.

At their original location, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared. It was Giratina. With Shadow Sneak, it could appear from anywhere to ambush enemies, and even moves like Guard were ineffective against it.

But this time its attack missed.

Giratina's Shadow Sneak Strike missed Yang Ming; instead, it slammed into Dialga due to its momentum. Dialga was instantly enraged, unleashing a Dragon Pulse at Giratina. Giratina retaliated with a Shadow Ball. The two powerful energy waves collided in mid-air, creating a deafening roar that distorted the surrounding air. Dust and sand billowed everywhere.

"Sure enough, legendary Pokémon that have lost their minds are like mad beasts; a little provocation and they'll start killing each other." Yang Ming watched the fight from the shadows, and even Cattleya, standing beside him, couldn't help but look at him with new respect.

"You're a real schemer, no wonder you're doing so well in Alola."

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows smugly: "Of course, I've fought in countless battles throughout my life, and I've participated in far more than you, a pampered young lady, have ever walked. By the way, don't you exercise regularly? Your legs are so weak, you're probably a homebody, right?"

Cattleya then remembered that she had asked Yang Ming to check her wounds earlier, and in a fit of embarrassment and anger, she punched Yang Ming's shoulder hard. "I'm not a shut-in! I just like to use teleportation to get around!"

“Okay, okay, whatever you say goes,” Yang Ming casually agreed. “By the way, are you interested in coming back to Alora with me? Let’s do something big together.”

After spending these days together, he was genuinely starting to crave Gadria's psychic abilities. Gadria not only possessed formidable fighting power, but she could also use her psychic abilities to perform moves like Teleport and Trick Room, and she could even use these moves more skillfully and quickly than Psychic-type Pokémon.

It's the same teleportation technique, but if a regular Psychic Pokémon used it, it would be impossible to teleport the enormous Roaring Moon and the two of them away in such a short time.

This is precisely why Yang Ming is so eager to win her over; he is currently more lacking in various specialized talents than in immediate combat capabilities.

“Let me make it clear beforehand that my asking price is very high,” Cattleya said meaningfully. “If you can’t offer me something that will tempt me, I won’t go with you.”

“I can bestow upon you the title of Duke,” Yang Ming pondered for a moment, “and in the future I will grant you a territory on Ula Ula Island, along with a mineral vein.”

“You…” Cattleya was stunned. “Do you think I care about these things?”

“But I can’t offer any other terms,” Yang Ming said, spreading his hands. “This is all the wealth I have, and I’m sharing it all with you.”

Cattleya rolled her eyes at him: "Can't you just let me be your secretary and help you govern Ula Ula Island?"

“That won’t do,” Yang Ming said decisively. “I already have a secretary; I can’t just fire her.”

"You...you stingy bastard!"

"How dare you call me stingy? I'm already the most conscientious boss in Alola!"

The two were still bickering when suddenly a murderous intent came from behind them.

"It's Palkia!" Yang Ming's expression changed. "This guy repelled the trainers who were attacking it and is coming this way!"

Cattleya stopped arguing with him and immediately used teleportation to send Yang Ming and Roaring Moon to a safe area.

However, as Palkia unleashed a Void Slash, the surrounding space instantly warped and shattered. As a god who controls space, Palkia's Void Slash can easily tear through space, rendering it useless no matter where the enemy escapes.

"No, there's no way to shake off its Void Slash," after using Teleport several times in a row, Gadria's stamina began to wane. "If this continues, we might die together..."

"Don't say such discouraging things!" Yang Ming shouted. "No matter what, don't give up!"

That being said, Yang Ming himself was helpless against Palkia. His only hope now was that Xerneas, who had turned into a withered tree branch, could awaken again and resolve the crisis for him.

Just as Yang Ming was at his wit's end, the Pillar of Spears, which had long since turned into ruins, suddenly emitted a blinding light!
