This scene fell into Minister Kenjiro's eyes.
For some reason, it gave him a bit of confidence.
Maybe...
Against a formation like this,
they really could stop Mew, this Second-tier Legendary.
At the very least,
if they could seize an opening and cut the connection between Oba Genjo and Mew,
they might still be able to salvage the situation.
"Move!"
Minister Kenjiro swung himself onto Skarmory's back.
The others were infected by his surging emotions as well.
With one call, hundreds answered.
They immediately followed after him.
The main force departed Wintergreen City in a grand procession.
Across the sky,
they carved out a long line that stretched outward from above Wintergreen City.
"They're here!"
Oba Genjo narrowed his eyes
and looked toward the sky as he spoke slowly.
A closer look revealed
that there were hundreds of Trainers coming out from Wintergreen City.
They blotted out a corner of the sky in a vast black mass.
Their aura was anything but weak.
Even the weakest among them
were at least Quasi-Elite Four-level.
And the people at the very front
were absurdly powerful.
The four old men leading them were the ministers of the four Military Divisions, the Alliance's top combat power, Champion-level existences.
Following behind them
were the Elite Four of the four Military Divisions.
Aside from them,
there were also eight people even Oba Genjo did not recognize.
The auras around them were also terrifyingly strong.
They were only slightly below the ministers of the Military.
Their strength was probably at the peak of the Elite Four level.
"The Alliance's entire high-level combat force has come out in full!"
Oba Genjo could not help but sigh at the sight.
If this had happened in the past,
he never would have dared to face such a luxurious lineup head-on.
But now,
with Mew in his hands,
he faintly felt as though he were invincible under heaven.
He did not put the other side in his eyes at all.
He gave Mew no further combat instructions.
He simply let it hover quietly in front of him.
With both hands clasped behind his back,
he raised his head
and calmly watched the Military forces draw closer and closer.
He looked utterly relaxed, like victory was already in his grasp.
The Military's flying unit landed.
The main force stopped in the forest clearing a hundred meters directly in front of Team Dark.
Minister Kenjiro stood at the very front of the formation.
He stared straight at Oba Genjo.
From time to time, his gaze shifted toward Mew.
Who could have imagined
that such a harmless-looking, somewhat cute pink Pokémon
would possess such terrifying power?
The atmosphere fell silent.
The two sides faced off against each other, and the smell of gunpowder in the air grew heavier and heavier.
Oba Genjo looked at Minister Kenjiro.
Even for a hard-hearted man like him, his feelings were complicated.
As he recalled scene after scene from his younger days,
he could not help wanting to say a few words to Minister Kenjiro.
But in the end,
he still chose to carry through with the stance and conduct of a villain.
He lifted a finger
and sent the command to fight into Mew's mind.
"Kwaaah!!"
The clarity in Mew's eyes was instantly drowned in a frenzied blood-red.
It began launching attack after attack at the army before it without the slightest restraint.
Flamethrower!
Hydro Pump!
Energy Ball!
Thunderbolt!
Aurora Beam!
...
All sorts of moves with completely different attributes were unleashed from its body.
There was almost no pause whatsoever, and it did not even need time to gather energy.
As the Legendary Pokémon said to possess the genetic information of all Pokémon,
Mew could use every kind of move without any hindrance.
In a single instant,
scorching flames,
surging torrents,
exploding lightning,
...
all kinds of attribute energies piled together.
Under the amplification of that chaotic and vast energy, together with Mew's own overwhelming base attributes,
the differently colored energies collided and detonated,
instantly blasting away fully half of the Quasi-Elite Four squad in the rear.
In just one exchange,
so many elite members were lost yet again.
The Elite Four and the others were seeing red, their anger surging to the extreme.
But at the same time,
this gave them a true glimpse of the might of a Second-tier Legendary!
No one said a word.
These twenty-odd top-tier fighters reached a shared understanding in an instant.
Every one of them sent out their ace Pokémon.
They gathered into an encirclement, vaguely forming something like a battle formation.
If they let Mew continue this saturated barrage of attacks,
then in just a little while,
the entire Quasi-Elite Four force would be wiped out to the last man.
The battlefield was split into two fronts at that moment.
On one side,
the ministers and the Elite Four of the Military surrounded Mew.
On the other side,
the remaining Quasi-Elite Four elites fought against Team Dark's remaining members.
The battle situation was extremely tense.
The Quasi-Elite Four elites had originally held an overwhelming advantage.
But after Mew's horrifying indiscriminate attack destroyed half their numbers,
that advantage had already vanished.
Even though Team Dark's side
was mostly made up of Gym-level combatants,
the ones leading them were in fact three powerful Elite Four-level executives!
Those three
tied up and scattered a considerable portion of the combat power on the other side,
causing the battlefield to grow even more chaotic.
"You want to gang up on me? You're no match for my Mew!"
"It seems that even now, you still can't recognize the gap between yourselves and a god!"
"Mew! Don't hold back! Finish them!"
Oba Genjo looked at the encirclement and revealed a scornful smile.
A lineup like this
actually dared to fight him?
They truly did not know the immensity of heaven and earth!
So what if there were more than twenty Pokémon?
The innate gap between species
was not something that could be bridged by mere numbers!
"Kyaaah!!"
Mew danced both hands in the air.
Dense Psychic-type energy condensed and compressed in front of it.
"Don't let it attack!"
"Skarmory! Hurricane!"
"Dragonite! Hyper Beam!"
"Charizard! Fire Blast!"
"Altaria! Ice Beam!"
"Gengar! Shadow Ball!"
"..."
Sensing an intense danger from Mew,
the crowd did not hesitate in the slightest.
They issued their attack commands at once.
Chaotic flames, lightning, storms, and all kinds of energy beams in different forms blasted toward Mew.
Under that terrifying wave of sweeping, overlapping energy bombardment,
Mew's tiny, delicate body looked unbearably fragile and helpless.
Boom!!!
A tremendous explosion rang out.
The dense black smoke and the surging energy spilling outward made everyone's hearts leap.
Did it work?
It had to have done some damage!
It must have had at least a little effect!
Excitement began to rise inside them.
But the very next second,
every expression on their faces froze stiff.
After the firelight from the explosion reached its brightest point, the erupting smoke did not continue to spread outward.
Instead, it seemed to turn into a photograph,
forcibly frozen in place.
Even the drifting black smoke and the overflowing energy
were all frozen as well!!!
That pink Pokémon slowly reappeared before everyone's eyes once more.
It gave a light wave of its hand.
The frozen firelight and energy
were then sent hurtling straight back at the Military's Pokémon, completely intact.
