Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Autumn Wind Sweeps the Fallen Leaves

Upon seeing Dragonair, Wen Qi hadn't yet launched an attack, but the other side couldn't hold back and struck first. The battle erupted instantly, the atmosphere tightening to its peak. Dragonair charged ahead, facing off against three Fearow. The three Fearow opened their sharp beaks wide, flapping their wings fiercely with murderous glints in their eyes, hurtling toward Dragonair in a swift assault. "Dragonair, use Rain Dance!" Wen Qi gave the command decisively. Dragonair lifted its head and let out a long cry, surging power bursting from within. In an instant, the sky darkened with dense clouds, and a torrential downpour poured down. The rain turned the ground muddy and slippery, slowing the Fearow's movements to some extent. "Brothers, go! Fearow, use Drill Peck!" Hu the eldest shouted at the top of his lungs. One Fearow flapped its wings and shot forward like an arrow from a bow, its sharp beak aimed straight at Dragonair—the "Drill Peck" move. "Dragonair, use Protect!" Wen Qi yelled loudly. A layer of light instantly enveloped Dragonair, forming a solid shield that successfully blocked the attack. "Now use Thunder Wave!" A wave of electricity shot from Dragonair, precisely hitting one Fearow, causing its body to go slightly numb and its movements to slow noticeably. Another Fearow seized the chance to use "Wing Attack," the gust from its wings howling as it rushed toward Dragonair. Dragonair moved like a phantom, swiftly executing "Agility" to dodge the attack with ease. At that moment, the three Fearow began to coordinate their assault, circling in the air and adjusting their positions with seamless teamwork, trying to find a weakness in Dragonair. "Blizzard!" Wen Qi commanded again. Dragonair unleashed a powerful blizzard from its mouth, a freezing gale sweeping toward the Fearow like a raging tide. The icy snow and biting wind quickly coated the Fearow's feathers in frost, drastically reducing their flight speed. Seeing this, Hu the eldest shouted in panic: "Fearow, use Brave Bird!" But the injured and sluggish Fearow were now too weak to muster the full power of that move. Dragonair seized the moment, gathering its strength. "Draco Meteor!" Brilliant starlight burst from Dragonair, raining down on the Fearow like a dazzling meteor shower. The immense energy impact caused the surrounding air to ripple violently. Under this ferocious assault, the three Fearow plummeted one by one, crashing heavily to the ground, losing their ability to fight. "Well done, Dragonair!" Wen Qi cheered excitedly. On the other side, Venomoth was locked in a fierce battle with a level 45 Mightyena. From the start, Mightyena charged aggressively with "Crunch," its sharp teeth gleaming coldly as it lunged at Venomoth like lightning. Venomoth rose lightly, fluttering its wings to deftly dodge the attack while releasing "Poison Powder." Green poison powder spread through the air. Mightyena accidentally inhaled it, showing mild poisoning symptoms and slowing down. "Mightyena, use Fire Fang!" Hu the second shouted hoarsely. Flames ignited in Mightyena's mouth as it bit fiercely toward Venomoth. Venomoth remained unfazed, following up with "Stun Spore" and "Sleep Powder." Mightyena struggled against the effects of these powders, but its movements gradually grew sluggish. "Use Air Slash!" Wen Qi directed. Venomoth flapped its wings, sending sharp blades of air flying toward Mightyena. Mightyena couldn't dodge in time, and several deep gashes appeared on its body, blood seeping out. Yet Mightyena refused to back down, using "Take Down" to charge at Venomoth like a cannonball. Venomoth dodged nimbly and continued attacking with "Bug Buzz." The piercing sound waves battered Mightyena's ears, causing a brief pause in its actions. After a grueling struggle, Venomoth finally prevailed over Mightyena through sheer tenacity and sustained attrition. The battle with Heracross was full of power and passion. As soon as Heracross entered the fray, it displayed immense presence, first using "Bulk Up" to make its muscles bulge impressively, radiating strength. Mightyena immediately launched "Pursuit," its shadow darting toward Heracross like a specter. Heracross showed no fear, charging straight in with "Take Down," colliding head-on with Mightyena in a dull, heavy impact. "Fury Attack! Horn Attack!" Wen Qi shouted. Heracross struck repeatedly, swinging its arms wildly and ramming its horn into Mightyena. Mightyena retaliated with "Fire Fang" and "Thunder Fang," leaving Heracross with some injuries, but its fighting spirit only grew fiercer. "Swords Dance!" Wen Qi called out. Heracross began spinning rapidly, stirring the surrounding air, further boosting its attack power. "Megahorn!" Wen Qi yelled. Heracross's long horn gleamed as it thrust fiercely into Mightyena. Mightyena finally couldn't withstand it and collapsed to the ground, letting out a pained whimper. The battle between Gogoat and the level 47 Mightyena was a one-sided affair. Gogoat started with "Leech Seed," planting green seeds inside Mightyena that continuously drained its stamina. "Mightyena, use Roar to scare it off!" Hu the third commanded. Mightyena opened its mouth and let out a massive roar, but Gogoat remained completely unfazed. "Agility!" Wen Qi ordered. Gogoat's speed instantly skyrocketed, turning into a white blur. Then, with a "Tackle," it knocked Mightyena to the ground. Mightyena struggled to get up, attempting to counterattack. "Hyper Beam!" Wen Qi shouted. A powerful beam shot from Gogoat's mouth, kicking up dust wherever it passed, striking Mightyena directly and defeating it utterly. Wen Qi's Pokémon all emerged victorious, his face brimming with joy and pride. The Hu brothers stared at the fallen Mightyena and Fearow, dumbfounded, their faces etched with disbelief. Hu the third widened his eyes, muttering incessantly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could we lose?" His voice trembled, as if still trapped in the shock of this crushing defeat. Hu the eldest turned pale as a sheet, his eyes vacant, murmuring to himself: "It's over, it's all over now..." His body shook slightly, as if losing all strength, on the verge of collapsing. Hu the second's legs gave way, and he slumped to the ground, his face ashen. He looked at Wen Qi in terror, stammering: "Sir, spare us! We failed to recognize your greatness and offended you. Please, be merciful and let us go!" Hu the eldest quickly snapped back, forgetting to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and said ingratiatingly: "Yes, sir, we truly know we were wrong. We won't dare again. Please, forgive us this once." As he spoke, he kept bowing, his groveling demeanor a stark contrast to his earlier arrogance. Hu the third no longer held his tongue, joining in the desperate pleas: "Sir, we really know our mistake. You're magnanimous, so let us off. We'll turn over a new leaf and be better people from now on." The three of them now exuded defeat and fear, with none of their former swagger left.
