Crushing Victory

Before dawn the next day, Entei and the others had already awakened. It was time to deal with those bad people.

Entei was preparing to take Yan Yang and Hawlucha to that group of bad people's hideout when several Pokémon blocked them, saying they wanted to help as well.

There were Primeape, Odistar, Noctowl, Venusaur... all relatively powerful Pokémon. They were also Yan Yang's seniors, and their children were all friends with him.

Entei said they did not need help. He alone would be enough. Sending too many Pokémon into battle could easily lead to trouble instead.

No matter how numerous or powerful the opposing Pokémon were, they could not defeat an Entei whose level completely crushed theirs. Unless they had Pokémon around level sixty or seventy, they might be able to struggle a little longer.

These Pokémon were somewhat disappointed. They truly hated those detestable Pokémon Hunters and wanted to go teach them a harsh lesson, but if Entei would not allow it, there was nothing they could do. After all, he really could fight a whole group by himself. They might only hold him back if they went, and the Pokémon had no choice but to guard against the bad people's treachery.

Although most Pokémon living in this forest only knew Yan Yang, they had still heard a little about the despicable things some humans did. Furthermore, Pokémon that had been harmed by humans truly lived in the forest, so they were all rather wary of humans. Even Yan Yang had needed some time before they accepted him.

Yan Yang knew everyone held strong prejudices against humans, so he began to mediate. "Don't worry, we'll be back very soon. Even if you can't come with us, you can bless us! With your blessings, our operation will definitely go more smoothly."

After being reassured for a while, the Pokémon no longer seemed upset. "All right, but you must come back quickly."

"Make sure you teach them a proper lesson. Don't let those people off."

"Little Sun, don't get hurt. Stay close to your father."

Meanwhile, Hawlucha and Primeape were glaring at each other, and something seemed off in their eyes, as though they wanted to fight.

These two Pokémon seemed to have been born unable to stand the sight of each other.

Seeing that things were going wrong, Yan Yang hurriedly picked up Hawlucha, jumped onto Entei's back, and signaled for Entei to set off.

If they stayed any longer, he was truly afraid the two would start fighting.

Entei understood and immediately took off running.

He was very fast, yet he did not make Yan Yang feel too uncomfortable.

Before long, they arrived at the forest Hawlucha had mentioned.

This forest was not very large, but its resources were abundant. It should have been a paradise where wild Pokémon lived happily. Yet a group of unscrupulous Pokémon Hunters had ignored the laws of nature, abducting innocent Pokémon from the distant Kalos Region and imprisoning them in cold iron cages, preparing to conduct unspeakable transactions.

Many people had not awakened yet. Only a few guards were up, chatting and laughing as though they were carrying out something remarkable, though what they did was utterly unjust.

Their Pokémon also looked shifty-eyed, fierce, and cold, like villains themselves. It could only be said that Pokémon reflected their trainers.

The Pokémon were actually innocent as well. They were merely following their trainers' orders, but they still could not be forgiven.

The laughing people outside and the trembling Pokémon locked in cages formed a striking scene, all the more revealing the sinister nature of human hearts.

Looking at the Pokémon imprisoned in the iron cages, Yan Yang was truly furious. Nearly all the Pokémon inside were covered in wounds; not a single one was uninjured.

Even if they planned to sell them, they should at least have kept the Pokémon in good condition.

It was morning now. The sunlight had yet to fully disperse the darkness of night, and the air carried the freshness and tranquility unique to early morning. But that calm was shattered by the cries of anguish coming from the imprisoned Pokémon.

"Dad, did you hear that? Those imprisoned Pokémon are crying out," Yan Yang said, clenching his fists as determination shone in his eyes. "We have to save them immediately, then beat those bastards into cripples."

Entei had originally been considering whether to go a little easy on them, but now it seemed unnecessary. Not killing them would already be mercy toward them.

Entei's temper had never been particularly good. It had only improved somewhat after spending these years with Yan Yang, but that did not mean his temper had truly become better.

He was really, really angry now.

When Hawlucha saw those people, he was initially somewhat afraid, but then he became resolute. When he looked at them again, his eyes were filled with nothing but coldness.

Entei began moving toward them. As he drew closer, the enormous steel cages came into view. Many Pokémon were trapped inside: Chespin, Gogoat, Vivillon of every color, Dedenne... Their eyes were full of despair and fear.

The heavily armed hunters guarding these lives radiated an utterly repulsive aura. The scent of bad people was always this disgusting.

When those hunters saw Entei walking toward them step by step, they began to panic. Entei's gaze was terrifying, as though it could pierce their filthy hearts, and the aura around him was immensely powerful.

The hunters' Pokémon were also terrified, but they still stepped forward to protect their masters.

Yan Yang quickly checked their information. They were all only level forty or fifty, nowhere near strong enough to challenge Entei.

"Dad, they're all a bunch of trash. Beat them however you want."

Entei's flame-like mane danced in the wind, as though cheering for the coming battle.

There was no needless exchange of words. The battle erupted at once. Entei unleashed a ferocious blaze, and with Hawlucha assisting from the side, he instantly tore a gap through the enemy's line.

Facing such a powerful opponent, the hunters were left scrambling. Their strategies and counterattacks were utterly worthless before Entei's absolute strength.

"Help!"

"How is there such a powerful Pokémon?"

"That's the Legendary Pokémon Entei, right? Can our other plan really succeed against a Pokémon like this?"

"Stop standing around! Hurry and support them! We're about to be broken through!"

"We can't beat him! The gap is too huge!"

Entei was like a king on the battlefield. Every roar of his triggered a sea of flames, forcing the enemies to retreat again and again.

This was only because Entei was suppressing his own strength. He was afraid that one careless move would burn down the entire forest and burden the Pokémon who had originally lived here.

He did not want the bad people's Pokémon to die either. The Pokémon did not deserve such a fate. They could only be blamed for following bad masters.

Yan Yang, wearing an Entei mask, clung tightly to Entei. This battle did not require his command at all. Entei alone was enough; this was his battlefield.

Yan Yang seemed to serve little purpose, but his presence helped Entei keep himself under control. After all, it was better not to be too violent in front of his child, or Entei felt he might lose control.

Moreover, Yan Yang would issue a few commands according to the situation, hastening the collapse of this rabble.

Just as the situation seemed to have completely tilted toward Yan Yang's side, one hunter suddenly activated a mechanism inside the cages, attempting to strike back with a trap. "Get out of the way! Let him have a taste of this!"

However, this could not stop the march of justice. It was all futile.

Entei leaped into the air, his entire body wrapped in scorching flames. He transformed into a meteor and charged straight at the Control Device, utterly destroying it.

With a deafening boom, every cage door burst open, and the Pokémon who had been imprisoned for days regained their freedom!

The freed Pokémon's eyes had turned red as well. They brawled with the Pokémon Hunters and their Pokémon, seemingly venting the resentment and fury in their hearts.

Their levels might have differed greatly, but after Entei's earlier assault, they could still barely handle them.

"Oh no, all the Pokémon have been released!"

"Requesting reinforcements! Requesting reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements my ass! Run!"

"Help!"

All the hunters fell into chaos. After recalling their nearly dead Pokémon, they frantically tried to flee, but how could Entei possibly let them go? With one blast of fire, everyone was injured beyond recognition, left with only a breath remaining.

The captured Pokémon seized the chance to add a punch or two, knocking the people unconscious from pain.

The rescued Pokémon looked at one another, then began cheering for their regained freedom.

There had been no suspense in this battle. It ended in a crushing victory.
