Krookodile.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
As ti passed, heavy footsteps echoed through the silent ruins.
Two dark figures approached from the distance.
Aaron, dressed in a black trench coat, walked side by side with Greninja into the ruins.
Moss covered the cracked ground, while dark storm clouds gathered overhead.
Rumble…
Lightning flickered faintly within the clouds, followed by rolling thunder.
…
At the Eastside Ruins, Harker was still whipping Zoroark out of sheer boredom.
At that mont, the bodyguard's eyes narrowed slightly as he released his Pokémon.
"ROAR!"
A furious roar echoed through the ruins.
A Pokémon appeared before them.
It stood upright at around 1.5 ters tall, with dark red scales and black markings around its eyes that resembled a pair of sunglasses.
A powerful pressure radiated from its body.
Champion-class Pokémon.
Krookodile.
"Sir… Aaron's here."
The bodyguard lowered his voice as he warned Harker.
"Hm?"
Harker stopped whipping Zoroark and slowly turned around.
The mont he saw Aaron approaching from the distance, a twisted grin spread across his face.
Hatred surged through his eyes as he sneered,
"Hehehe…"
"So you really ca after all, idiot…"
"I'll give you this much… you've got guts."
Harker tilted his head mockingly.
Aaron ignored him completely.
His gaze fell on Zoroark, who was tied to the pillar.
Its aura was weak, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to go out at any mont.
The mont Zoroark saw Aaron arrive, a faint glimr finally appeared in its hollow eyes.
It struggled to lift its eyelids and weakly opened its mouth, as if trying to say sothing.
But it was too weak to make a sound.
Even so, it still gave Aaron a tiny shake of its head.
It was telling him not to worry about it.
To leave.
Aaron remained silent.
His face was colder than ice.
Then he looked at Harker and spoke in a voice filled with killing intent.
"Harker… you've got a death wish."
Boom!
A terrifying pressure exploded from Aaron's body and crashed straight into Harker.
Harker's smile instantly froze.
Fear appeared on his face.
His face turned red as if soone were choking him.
"Krookodile!"
The bodyguard's expression changed imdiately as he shouted.
"ROAR!"
Krookodile roared furiously.
A powerful pressure burst from its body and forcibly scattered Aaron's aura.
"Huff… huff… huff…"
Harker collapsed onto the ground, gasping for air.
The way he looked at Aaron now was like he was staring at a monster.
"Harker… let Zoroark go now, and I'll pretend none of this happened."
Aaron glanced coldly at the bodyguard beside him and Krookodile.
"Hahaha… you really think you can order around?"
"And you think soone like you has that right!?"
"What the hell are you!?"
Harker roared hysterically, hatred practically overflowing from his eyes.
At that mont, Aaron shouted,
"Now!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless Water Shurikens suddenly shot out from the shadows of the ruins toward Harker.
The bodyguard's expression changed drastically.
"Krookodile, stop them!"
"ROAR!"
Krookodile let out another furious roar and slashed its sharp claws through the incoming Water Shurikens.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Krookodile moved with astonishing speed, smashing apart every single Water Shuriken.
Whoosh!
At that exact mont, a figure wrapped in a golden chakra cloak suddenly appeared behind Krookodile.
Mysterious orange markings surrounded its eyes, while its pupils had beco cross-shaped.
Greninja.
Tailed Beast Sage Mode.
A deep-blue sphere of violently spinning energy slamd straight toward Krookodile.
It was Rasengan.
"Krookodile, behind you! Use Crunch!"
The bodyguard's expression changed again as he shouted.
"ROAR!"
Krookodile truly deserved its Champion-class strength.
Its reaction speed was unbelievably fast.
Black energy instantly gathered around its jaws, forming a massive dark maw that bit fiercely into Greninja's Rasengan.
Boom!!
A violent explosion erupted across the Eastside Ruins.
At the sa mont, a green figure silently appeared beside Zoroark.
Sceptile.
"Scep-tile!"
A bright green blade lit up along Sceptile's arm as it slashed downward.
Clang!
The iron chains binding Zoroark snapped apart instantly.
Without hesitation, Sceptile grabbed Zoroark and activated Agility, vanishing from the area in a green blur.
The mont Aaron saw the rescue succeed, a faint smile appeared on his face.
From the very beginning, Aaron had arranged for Greninja's Shadow Clone and Sceptile to hide nearby.
First, the Shadow Clone launched Water Shuriken to disrupt the enemy formation and draw their attention.
Then Greninja's real body used Tailed Beast Sage Mode together with the Flying Thunder God markers hidden within the Water Shuriken to instantly launch a direct attack.
Its role was to draw the enemy's attention.
anwhile, Sceptile rescued Zoroark and escaped.
The entire rescue operation had gone perfectly.
But at that mont, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Harker's face.
"Now… kill him!!"
Harker let out a hoarse roar filled with venomous hatred.
Aaron's expression changed instantly.
A deadly sense of danger exploded in his heart.
His entire body tensed.
