I Do It Personally

The moonlight like ink,

Steelix and two Onix struck with their giant tails and devastated the entire Rockridge Village.

The village, which was originally peaceful and serene, was reduced to ruins.

These two Onix are merely fortress-level professionals, but Steelix's strength alone is no simple matter.

【 Pokemon: Steelix (Steel/Ground)
Ability: Sturdy
Qualification: Master
Level: Lv55 (Gym)]

This is a Gym-level Steelix!

Therefore, when facing these three Pokemon, Rockridge Village showed no resistance.

"I'll deal with Steelix."

Lucas appeared next to Bruce without anyone noticing. He looked at the roaring Steelix, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Young Master Bayne, I'll leave the other two Onix to you."

As his voice fell, Charizard beside Lucas erupted in flames, spread its wings, and flew high, staring at Steelix.

【 Pokemon: Charizard (Fire/Flying)
Ability: Blaze
Qualification: Elite
Level: Lv56 (Gym)]

Charizard, this Pokemon, is Lucas's strongest Pokemon.

Bruce turned his head to look at Metang and quickly said, "The one on the left is yours."

"Metang!" Metang nodded calmly.

Immediately after, Metang dashed towards the Onix on the left.

Bruce nodded slightly, withdrew his gaze, and looked at the other Onix.

This Onix also noticed Bruce at this moment. It stood tall, about eight meters high, and a massive black shadow completely enveloped Bruce.

Its fierce face seemed to show a terrifying smile, making humans facing Onix feel instant dread.

At this moment, Bruce did not choose to send out a Pokemon.

In the past, he would have definitely chosen to send out a Pokemon to defeat Onix and capture it.

But the situation is special at this moment, and he only wants to make a quick decision to minimize Onix's damage to Rockridge Village.

And if you want a swift victory, then you'll have to achieve it yourself.

【Can you do it?】

Roy's cold voice reached his mind.

Bruce looked at Onix with clear eyes, his lips moved, and he said, "You'll know if I can do it soon."

Boom!

Despite facing the seemingly frail Bruce, Onix still chose to stand strong.

Carrying an astonishing aura, it rushed forward rapidly, crushing obstacles along the way.

But Bruce stood there, silently watching Onix charge with Take Down.

The next second,

Bruce's eyes were slightly blue, and the invisible and growing Psychic energy spread layer by layer in all directions, making the air seem to ripple.

In the following second, Bruce extended his right hand and pointed at Onix.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, Onix was enveloped by a wave of blue energy, and it stopped in place, unable to move.

Its dark eyes darted around as if it didn't understand what was happening.

Suddenly, Bruce waved his palm, and Onix seemed to be controlled by a pair of invisible hands. First, it floated high up, then fell heavily.

Boom!

The massive Onix came into close contact with the ground, and the great impact caused the ground to shake violently, leaving Onix dizzy.

But Onix has rough skin and thick flesh, and even so, it didn't lose its fighting ability after being thrown to the ground like this. It vigorously shook its head, then let out an enraged roar and swung its hard tail toward Bruce.

The wind roared with great momentum, and the tail moved with a rumble.

Bruce calmly watched this terrifying scene, his figure flickered, disappeared, and reappeared in the blink of an eye, arriving at a greater distance.

Seeing it attack with Smack Down, Onix became even angrier. It raised its head and roared, then turned its body and charged toward him.

Bruce's eyes remained calm, his dark eyes fixed on Onix's. In the next second, a wave of spiritual rays surged forward, covering the distance in an instant, like thin needles.

Piercing Onix's mind...

"Roar!"

Suddenly, Onix stopped in place, bursts of severe pain erupted in its mind. The excruciating pain from inside out made it howl repeatedly, its enormous tail continuously slamming the ground as if to vent its agony.

Mental attacks are soul-based assaults, even Onix with its rough skin and thick flesh struggles to withstand them.

Not long after, Onix's howls gradually subsided, and its thrashing also diminished.

Finally, with a loud thud, Onix fell heavily to the ground, its eyes turning into swirls.

Seeing Onix collapse, Bruce's face remained calm as he turned his head to look at the side.

At this moment, Metang was locked in a fierce battle with the other Onix.

Metang flew towards Onix at extremely high speed, sparks approaching Onix's front. With an amber-colored iron fist glowing, it dragged a series of comets, striking toward Onix with a boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, Metang's fists exploded on Onix's body one after another like a rainstorm of Horacio, the wind of its fists roaring, causing Onix to scream in pain.

But as Onix gradually recovered and was about to launch a counterattack against Metang, it saw that Metang had already retreated to the rear, its body covered in a bright white light.

In an instant, the white lights across its body converged to a point, and terrifying power condensed, a beam of incomparably beautiful and thick light struck.

Flash Cannon!

Boom!

Accompanied by a great roar, Flash Cannon hit Onix precisely, instantly spewing black smoke and waves of air radiating in all directions.

"Yes!"

As the black smoke gradually dissipated, Onix fell to the ground, incapacitated.

"Metang!"

Seeing this, Metang flew back to Bruce with a proud face.

"Good job," Bruce loudly praised.

Meanwhile, the battle on the other side also drew to a close.

Charizard unleashed a massive fire blast, completely defeating Steelix and sending it crashing to the ground.

Bruce quickly walked toward Lucas, staring at the fallen Steelix, frowning slightly, and asked in doubt, "Why did they choose to attack Rockridge Village?"

Although he feels sorry for everything that happened here and is furious, the events have already occurred, and redundant emotions will only affect the next actions.

Finding out the identity of the intruder is the most important thing now.

"I'm not sure." Lucas glanced around slightly, then shook his head.

Afterward, his usually rebellious face turned a little heavy, and he said in a low voice, "But judging from the current situation, it should be that the intruder made a mistake."

"To deliberately create confusion?"

He murmured softly, then raised his eyes to look at Bruce and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Bayne, many things might happen in the future; you must always pay attention to your safety."

"If you're in danger, retreat immediately."

"I understand." Bruce nodded slightly. He naturally understood that a bigger storm was coming.

In this process, protecting your own safety is the most important.

After all, it's not just about a small professional trainer.

"Alright, let's calm the people of Rockridge here."

"...Then let's see if Benjamin finds any useful clues," Lucas finally said.

Bruce nodded slightly and followed Lucas toward the back hill.

Soon, news came from Benjamin.

"Ethan and I arrived at the cliff, and there are no intruders there."

"Already escaped…?" Lucas murmured softly at first, then appeared and asked, "Are there any traces left?"

Benjamin quickly replied, "Ethan and I carefully searched, and there are some footprints on another path up the mountain. They should have left that way."

"Hmm." Lucas hummed lightly and then slowly said, "Return to Rockridge Village first and don't act rashly for now."

"Okay."

Bruce listened silently, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Since it's an invasion, it must be a premeditated large-scale invasion."

"In this way, it can't just be chaos here, the same must have happened elsewhere," he firmly stated.

Lucas nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I'm worried about."

"But it doesn't matter." He changed the subject and then said, "For this invasion, we've made enough preparations."

"I'm not afraid they won't come; I'm afraid they won't come."

At the same time,

Vortex Base.

"Boss, all the outposts have sent news that many villages near Diamond Forest were attacked by invaders at the same time, and the situation is chaotic," Agatha quickly entered the office and spoke rapidly.

King John Bayne raised his eyelids, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said faintly, "It has finally begun."

"Creating chaos around the village, are they trying to distract us?"

"We'll disperse and apply pressure."

King John Bayne murmured softly for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Agatha and said firmly, "Send the order."

"Starting now, the police guard has entered the second-level alert condition."

"Let all security guards gather immediately and head to Diamond Forest to eliminate the intruders."

"Among them, focus on defending the interior of Diamond Forest and cooperating with the teams as a unit."

"Divide into four teams and head to the edge of Diamond Forest to resolve the village crisis."

"Boss, the third team is fine. Lucas and the others are in Diamond Forest right now," Agatha reminded loudly.

Hearing this, John Bayne nodded thoughtfully and then said in a deep voice, "Alright, with the four of them there, there shouldn't be any problem there."

Agatha couldn't help but say, "Boss, do you want to let Young Master Bayne return?"

John Bayne shook his head resolutely upon hearing the words and said in a deep voice, "There's no need for that."

"For him, what's missing is the tempering of iron and fire."
