Character name suggestions:

“Ares?!”

Just then, a surprised female voice rang out.

Dada da—

A team of Alliance special forces members, clad in uniforms adorned with red and white Poké Ball insignia and fully covered from head to toe, arrived with the aid of auxiliary flight devices.

Above them, a sky full of Pidgeot circled, their synchronized movements creating an unspoken atmosphere of grim anticipation.

The one who spoke was a middle-aged Junsa, also in combat attire but with her face uncovered, leading the team. Unlike the usual Junsa’s green buzz cut, her hair was sharply angled, her face dark and resolute. Her demeanor and temperament were perfectly aligned with the combat team behind her. The faint aura of bloodlust she exuded made Bai Ze realize that this was no ordinary character!

“I never thought that Ares, the former top Rocket Team executive, the leader of the ‘Three Disasters,’ who was rumored to have retired long ago, would actually appear here?”

“What, is the Rocket Team’s retirement food not good enough? Do you want a taste of the Alliance’s Black Prison’s jail food?”

The buzz-cut middle-aged Junsa Wei’s expression was solemn, but her words were fearless. With a wave of her hand, she motioned for the special forces members behind her to disperse into small teams to support the city. She faced the former Rocket Team executive, Ares, who controlled the legendary birds, with only five or six captain-level guards by her side.

“Lie ya~!”

Immediately after, accompanied by two extremely piercing screeches, a pair of giant eagle Pokémon with wingspans exceeding three meters swooped down, guarding the Junsa on either side. They flapped their massive wings, causing the surrounding air to flow at high speeds, creating a hurricane-like effect, interspersed with sparks of fire. Amidst the beauty lay a deadly killing intent.

Their backs were red, their bellies mostly grayish-white, and their wingtips and tail feather tips were black. Upon closer inspection, one could observe that the patterns on their wingtips, backs, and bellies bore some resemblance to the shape of flames. Their scissor-like tail feathers also had three pairs of yellow stripes.

But what was most striking were the sharp talons on their thick, bright yellow claws… The original base color should have been black, but now, layers of red patches had rendered them exceptionally bloody…

These were the final evolutions of Fletchling, one of the common regional birds in the Kalos region, rarely seen in Kanto, but as common as Pidgey and Spearow in Kanto—Talonflame! They were loyal and extremely combative. Their rare Fire/Flying type combination not only gave them incredible mobility but also compensated for the inherent weakness of the Flying type’s limited offensive coverage.

And the strength of these two Talonflame was equally not to be underestimated!

[Talonflame: Elite Tier Mid-Stage (Level 63, 0/100), Flame Body]

[Talonflame: Elite Tier Early-Stage (Level 62, 99/100), Gale Wings (Hidden Ability)]

One had just entered the Elite Tier Mid-Stage, and the other was infinitely close to it… Seriously, this level of strength was indeed impressive. But to contend with the three Legendary Birds, each capable of rivaling a Champion-level Pokémon at their peak, was simply too difficult. What’s more, while the three species of Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno were at odds with each other, they formed an excellent combination that could unleash power far exceeding 1+ 1+ 1! Even a typical Champion-level trainer would find it hard to defeat them…

“Hahahaha, hahahaha!!!”

Ares, the burly old man who controlled the three Legendary Birds, clearly knew the extent of their power. He couldn’t help but burst into wild laughter, bending over and even clutching his stomach from the pain of laughing.

“You, hmph hmph hah… you still want to arrest me and make me eat jail food? Hahahaha… I never thought that the formidable Captain Junsa Wei of the Skyborne Special Forces, ‘Fire Falcon,’ would still be a little girl who dreams in broad daylight?”

“Hahahaha, hahahahaha!!!”

Ares laughed, wiping away tears, but suddenly his expression changed, and he snarled, “Arrest me? Do you even deserve to try!”

“Let alone the fact that I control the three Legendary Birds now, even if I didn’t, do you think your two little firebirds, at most just entering the Elite Tier Mid-Stage, could defeat my Hydreigon?”

“Double-Edge Headbutt!”

This sudden command caught everyone completely by surprise.

Therefore, when the Hydreigon darted out from the side, it easily broke through the defense line formed by the special forces members.

“Roar~!”

With a ferocious roar, it charged towards Junsa Wei!

This attack was almost impossible to evade! And Ares’s plan was well-calculated: even if he couldn’t achieve a one-hit knockout, he could then use a Rock-type move, which is four times super effective against Fire/Flying types, to heavily wound the two Talonflame that would inevitably move to protect their master!

Bai Ze’s expression tightened, and he was about to order a rescue. However, he noticed that the three Legendary Birds above had already formed a ‘pin’ formation, subtly encircling him and Arcanine.

“!”

This momentary hesitation meant it was too late to rescue. But both Bai Ze and Ares underestimated the battle-hardened ‘Fire Falcon’ Captain!

“Quick Attack!”

“Protect!”

“Substitute!”

Feeling the stinging sense of crisis on her cerebral cortex and the strong wind rushing from behind her head, Junsa Wei lunged forward to the left without hesitation, simultaneously shouting orders.

The commands were given extremely quickly and without specific targets. But the two Talonflame acted swiftly and without any hesitation.

“Lie ya~!”

One of the Talonflame spread its wings, the swirling winds around it acting like boosters, allowing it to move faster than expected. It hooked its talons into Junsa Wei’s collar, just as she was about to fall to the ground, tearing it. This utilized the priority effect of ‘Gale Wings’ for Flying-type moves!

Then, the other Talonflame folded its wings like an osprey diving into a lake, plummeting straight down. The glowing green energy shield that lit up around it perfectly intercepted Hydreigon’s Headbutt.

Wham—

It broke almost without resistance. But the time gained was enough for the other Talonflame to carry Junsa Wei far away.

“Roar~!”

Hydreigon was instantly enraged. Its innate advantage gave it unique superiority in certain moves. Although its initial charge was interrupted, the sub-heads on its two arms acted like copper hammers. They struck together, delivering a follow-up, double-barreled version of Double-Edge Headbutt!

Wham—

This time, the Talonflame’s body was directly hammered into an illusion.

“Roar…”

But before Hydreigon could let out a celebratory roar, Ares’s furious voice immediately came through: “What are you so happy about? That’s a substitute!”

Hydreigon instantly fell silent. It looked up. The Talonflame that should have been smashed now reappeared beside it, soaring into the sky!

“Roar!!!”

Hydreigon roared in frustration.

But at this moment, Junsa Wei, being carried by the two Talonflame, flying low to the ground, rushed directly into the encirclement of the three Legendary Birds. She grabbed Bai Ze by the waist and urgently shouted, “Kid, quickly take out your Poké Ball and recall your mutated Arcanine!”

She had noticed this somewhat handsome, fashionably dressed young man before. He had a good demeanor. But he was a bit too recklessly bold. Was a battle above the Elite Tier something an ordinary trainer could participate in? Other trainers, even her junior Junsa, had wisely left the vicinity, but he was the only one still standing there傻愣愣. He truly wasn’t afraid of death!

But then again, this ‘stubbornly honest’ look was very much like her when she was young! So, deep down, Junsa Wei actually quite admired this silly kid…
