Chapter 665 The City of Sirte (11)
The appearance of the giant jellyfish truly startled Wang Qiyi and the others. Its aura was absolutely overwhelming, far surpassing that of Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong's lightning strike had struck the water without it even flinching, making it undoubtedly a guardian-level powerhouse. This was the first time they had encountered such a powerful spirit since they began their mission abroad.
This jellyfish wasn't just one spirit; it brought along its entire swarm, numbering in the tens of thousands—enough to launch a beast tide. The larger jellyfish surrounding it were clearly no ordinary creatures; some might even be legendary. This was probably a jellyfish kingdom.
Seeing the fleeting look of surprise on Wang Qiyi's face, Valza immediately felt more confident: "This is the guardian deity of our city of Surte, and the guardian deity that our family has worshipped for generations. The entire Surte Bay is its territory. Your elf caused such a commotion just now, which has disturbed it. It would be best to quickly offer it valuable treasures to appease its anger."
Valza's attempt to persuade them to surrender also took into consideration his palace. If he truly angered the giant jellyfish, one of its attacks could destroy his palace. Of course, Guardian-level Pokémon are like strategic nuclear weapons in this world; there's no need to actually fight them. Just using them as a deterrent is enough. No trainer would dare to battle a Guardian.
However, Valza was wrong, for he saw the boy opposite him throw a Poké Ball at the giant jellyfish. The Poké Ball opened, and a giant black, crab-shaped Pokémon, easily six meters tall, leaped out. Although not as large as the giant jellyfish, its imposing presence was still terrifying. He had never seen such a Pokémon before, and it charged fearlessly at the guardian-level jellyfish.
The Gluttonous King opened its enormous maw, extending two excavator-like pincers to grab stinging jellyfish from the sea and toss them into its mouth, devouring them one by one. Valza stared in disbelief.
Seeing the sea begin to tremble again, Wang Qiyi immediately shouted, "Pikachu, unleash Mega Volt in the sea!" The Tentacruel swarm was preparing to repeat their earlier piercing attack. This collective piercing sound from tens of thousands of jellyfish was a team attack, and with the Guardian Spirit leading the charge, its combined power was likely to affect even legendary Pokémon. Therefore, their collective casting had to be interrupted.
Calycerin, the black horse, charged out at the opportune moment. As it rode through the air, a surge of dark purple ghostly energy erupted from its feet, churning like boiling water and transforming into streaks of starlight—its Ghost-type signature move, Star Shatter. Simultaneously, Pikachu roared, its entire body crackling with electricity, radiating light like a miniature sun, illuminating the night. A bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl, accompanied by a thunderous roar, spurted into the sea, while Little Red in the sky unleashed bolts of lightning.
Upon seeing this, Wukong, who was still running on the water, immediately leaped up, and a fiery cloud materialized beneath his feet, carrying him into the air. He couldn't withstand such powerful lightning strikes.
The giant stinging jellyfish sensed the threat and let out a sharp cry. At the same time, a layer of energy covered its entire body, blocking most of the damage. However, the lightning still scattered throughout the sea, and combined with the Star Shattering of the Crowned Jellyfish, a large number of jellyfish were instantly killed and floated to the surface.
The Tentacruel was enraged, its tentacles thrashing wildly, and a giant wave surged behind it. The wave was over 30 meters high, an attack of tsunami magnitude. Guzzlord charged headlong into the wave, followed by Pikachu and Calyrex.
Faced with the combined attack of three guardian-level Pokémon, the giant jellyfish was immediately suppressed. However, the countless jellyfish around it resonated with its skills, and with the assistance of four legendary Pokémon, they surged towards the three guardians one after another, creating a situation of evenly matched strength for a time.
"Wow! It's so lively!" Hoopa jumped out of its Poké Ball and immediately tugged at Wang Qiyi's clothes, pleading, "Let me join the battle! I want to fight too!"
"Sure, go fight!"
"Power! I need to unleash my power! How can I possibly win if I go like this?"
"Hupa, your true form is too powerful. I'm afraid you'll flatten this place."
"Can I hold back? I promise I will."
The palace was already submerged by the sea, and all the servants had fled. The aftershocks of the battle between the guardian spirits had even shattered the walls. Valza knew his palace was doomed. He still couldn't understand who these four boys who called themselves Team Rocket were. They possessed guardian spirits, and even the god of his own bay had intervened, yet they were still suppressed.
Now he finally realized he had messed with the wrong person, and the only option was to retreat. He gave a shout, and his seven legendary subordinates and nearly a hundred personal guards on the roof immediately mounted their flying-type Pokémon and prepared to leave.
"They're trying to escape. Don't let any of those guys get away. You can leave them to me, okay?" Wang Qiyi instructed Hu Pa and then took out the Punishment Jar.
"Alright, leave it to me!" Hoopa shouted excitedly, his body shrouded in black mist and rapidly growing larger. Purple fur flew everywhere, and a six-armed giant nearly seven meters tall appeared in mid-air. Valza and the others were terrified. Golden rings suddenly appeared among them, and then countless black energy beams shot out from the rings. Screams echoed wherever they passed, Flying-type Pokémon were instantly killed, and those riding on them fell from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
"Hahaha... This is my power!" Hoopa flew high into the sky and laughed loudly, conjuring a huge black energy ball in his hands and smashing it towards the ground. Wang Qiyi facepalmed. This guy had lost control again. This super-powerful wave of evil energy would probably blow up half of the palace.
With a deafening roar, the earth trembled, and the tremor was felt within a 10-kilometer radius. The wealthy and powerful people living near the palace guessed that a powerful Pokémon was battling there; initially, they thought it was just Valza sparring. Valza had fought skilled trainers in the bay before. However, no one was worried about Valza's safety, as his family worshipped a guardian deity.
However, this battle caused exceptionally strong tremors, which lasted for a long time. Everyone looked towards the palace, where a dragon's roar seemed to echo in the sky, followed by lightning, thunder, torrential rain, and then the earth trembling and explosions. For a time, no one dared to approach the area. It wasn't until late at night that the commotion subsided.
The next morning, people discovered that the palace of Sirte was in ruins; at least half of it had vanished, leaving a large crater. The beach was also a mess, riddled with potholes. Lord Valza was nowhere to be found, and his seven most trusted generals had also mysteriously disappeared. The beach was littered with incapacitated agate jellyfish and stinging jellyfish, some floating on the sea, rising and falling with the waves.
The news of the mysterious death of Warza, the most powerful warlord in the North African Union, spread throughout North Africa within a day, along with the disappearance of his seven legendary generals. A treasure vault was discovered beneath his palace, but it had been completely looted, and the walls were marked with the words "Team Rocket was here!" written in six languages.
Legend has it that the Valza clan was protected by a guardian elf, but this time, their guardian elf was severely injured and fled to the deep sea. The Valza clan's power was immediately divided among other clans and warlords, plunging the North African Union into chaos.
The incident immediately attracted international attention, and the name Team Rocket began to spread around the world. Various groups imitating Team Rocket appeared everywhere; some wore masks and carried Pokémon to uphold justice, calling themselves Team Rocket. Others wore masks and committed robbery, also calling themselves Team Rocket.
Multiple criminal organizations calling themselves Team Rocket have emerged around the world. The international coalition initially intended to investigate Team Rocket, but found it impossible now, as the entire world is a Team Rocket network, with individuals claiming to be from Team Rocket committing crimes daily.
Because Team Rocket's logo is very similar to the emblem of the Elf Kingdom, people began to suspect that it was a missionary activity by the Elf Cult around the world.
