How Nice-You Use a Legendary Pokémon, I Use Cheats

Boom—

Gladion was sent flying by a punch from Gengar, who had suddenly burst out of the ground.

As early as when the warehouse door had been shut, Xingye had told Gengar to hide in preparation for an ambush, just to be safe.

He had never expected Gladion to show up, much less bring along a Type: Null. There was no helping it now—they had to deal with this first.

But the very next second, all the Team Skull members who had just taken out their Poké Balls to throw them suddenly collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Then, a chill swept over him. Xingye's pupils narrowed, and he instinctively crouched down, narrowly dodging a Night Slash. He glanced aside.

Behind him stood a large gray fox with red hair, red lipstick, and eyeshadow—Zoroark. It had appeared behind him without him noticing!

"So this was what the result of the one and only truth really meant..."

Only then did Xingye understand why Gladion had answered like that. They had both been thinking the same thing: in an unofficial wild battle, just attack the Trainer.

Still, he could not understand why Gladion had knocked out all his own subordinates. Wouldn't it have been better to gang up on them? Or was there some secret here that he did not know about?

No matter what, though, he had run into a real hard case this time. Although he had dodged Zoroark's attack, his own situation had not improved in the slightest.

The same went for the other side. Gladion climbed up from the ground in a sorry state, his face swollen from the blow. The damage had been pretty decent.

"You actually ambushed me..."

"...You have the nerve to say that to me?"

The two glared at each other and traded insults. Just then, Cyclizar, pinned down by Type: Null, suddenly rolled forward and swung its tail at it.

But Type: Null made no attempt to dodge. It directly used its head to block the blow. The control mask on its head, used to ease the AR System's rejection response, was exceptionally sturdy. Even Ceruledge had failed to so much as budge it before.

With a clang, the collision sent fierce shockwaves flying outward. Seizing the chance while they fought, Xingye ran toward Cyclizar with Mousy. The moment Zoroark noticed, it immediately gave chase.

"Jump over here!"

"Cyclizar!"

Hearing him, Cyclizar used Type: Null's head as a springboard. Its tail propelled it forward, and its body shot straight toward Zoroark at incredible speed!

"Get out of the way!"

Gladion shouted, but Zoroark was nowhere near as fast as Cyclizar. It had barely reacted before being struck, sent flying all the way into an iron pillar. It fainted on the spot, losing its ability to battle.

Seeing this, Gladion gritted his teeth and recalled Zoroark. That Cyclizar was far too strong. It might have looked goofy, but its reaction speed was incredibly fast. He had underestimated its strength.

Having pulled one back, Xingye finally relaxed a little. Then he smiled. "Well? I'll give you two choices. Either release all those Pokémon, or I'll help you release them!"

At those words, Gladion sharply swung his arm and replied coldly, "Do you think you can still leave this place after seeing that Pokémon?!"

"Huh? That Type: Null?"

Seeing the look on Gladion's face, like he desperately wanted to kill him, Xingye was confused.

Could it be because of Type: Null that this guy had knocked out all those Team Skull members? Then why had he brought it out in the first place? That was obviously unnecessary. Was it just to look cool?

But clearly, Gladion had no intention of answering. And given the situation, a fight was basically unavoidable.

"Gengar, take Mousy and look for where the Pokémon are being held. Leave this side to us."

"Gengar!"

Gengar picked up Mousy and immediately flew off to search elsewhere. Gladion did not bother stopping it.

After hearing Xingye call out Type: Null's name, a flicker of shock crossed his face. Then his expression darkened, and he waved his hand. "Battle! Crush Claw!"

As soon as he spoke, Type: Null leaped into the air. Xingye quietly stepped back, not particularly worried.

That mask greatly affected its speed. Although Cyclizar could not use moves, it absolutely held the advantage in speed.

"Dodge to the left, then ram it head-on. Don't attack the mask!"

"Cyclizar!"

Cyclizar leaped sideways to evade the descending Crush Claw. But just as it was about to attack, Type: Null suddenly charged at Xingye with Crush Claw. The earlier move had been bait—this was the real attack!

"???"

Xingye was dumbfounded. Gladion really wanted to kill him? Just because he had seen Type: Null? Was that really necessary? Or had this kid suffered some kind of trauma?

But in the end, it was still too slow. Cyclizar pounced on Type: Null from behind and slammed it to the ground!

It would never forgive anyone who tried to hurt Xingye. So it immediately bit down on Type: Null's head. It loved biting people's heads, and even if there was a chunk of metal around it, it would bite anyway. It just had to bite through it!

Seeing this, Gladion did not hesitate to send out Lycanroc, taking the opportunity to attack Xingye while Cyclizar was tied up.

"Tch, you think having more Pokémon makes you so great?"

Xingye had not expected this rich young master to be even more shameless than him. He looked like someone who had never been properly disciplined—not only edgy, but completely lacking in sportsmanship!

Was this really Lillie's brother? Their personalities were way too different! Still, it was true that both siblings seemed to have their own issues. As for why, he did not know yet.

But just as he was about to have Cyclizar take on both opponents at once, something unexpected happened.

The mask was not bitten apart. Instead, with a pop, it was yanked straight off, revealing a gray, birdlike head beneath it. The crest atop its head looked somewhat like a cockatiel's.

"???"

Xingye froze slightly. It had turned into Silvally just like that? But why was it gray? And its eyes had turned blood-red, as though it was about to go berserk!

Gladion was also stunned. He could not understand why the mask had come off.

But then his expression instantly turned grave, as if he had realized something. He immediately took out a Poké Ball and tried to recall it, but the red light he fired was interrupted by the violent aura erupting from Type: Null.

"Oh no, the AR System is going berserk!"

Gladion instantly panicked. Then, the next second, Cyclizar, which had been pinning Type: Null down, was slapped away by a single claw!

With a boom, it crashed through the warehouse wall and rolled into the Berry Orchard outside. It lay there motionless, as if it had lost its ability to battle.

"Cyclizar... What kind of power was that?!"

Xingye's expression immediately turned grave, his face filled with disbelief. Could simply removing the seal multiply Type: Null's power to this extent?

Cyclizar had actually been one-shot. The last time that had happened was when Bewear had hugged it, but that was special-record-level strength, so it did not count.

So this Type: Null... no, this berserk Silvally, now truly possessed the strength of a Legendary Pokémon!

"Just as expected of the Little Alpaca..."

As he spoke, Silvally locked onto Gladion's Lycanroc. With an enraged roar, it blasted Flash Cannon from its mouth, striking Lycanroc for super effective damage and taking it out in one hit!

But it was not over. Flash Cannon pierced through the warehouse wall, and as berserk Silvally raised its head, the beam sliced upward like a light blade before shooting into the sky. Silver light illuminated the entire Berry Orchard!

The old warehouse groaned continuously under the attack, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

Over there, Gengar and Mousy had found the Pokémon being held in cages, but they still had not found the other Mousy. It was extremely worrying...

Silvally continued attacking, no longer distinguishing friend from foe. After recalling Lycanroc, Gladion could only leave the crumbling warehouse with a grave expression, lest he become trapped inside.

But the moment he moved, Silvally immediately locked onto him. Ice, fire, and electricity merged into a Tri Attack that swept straight toward him!

"What..."

Gladion froze. Just as Tri Attack was about to hit him, Xingye suddenly appeared and tackled him to the ground, dodging the attack.

"You..."

"I'll beat you up first, then you can die!"

Xingye got up, dragged him deeper into the warehouse to evade the attacks, and kept running. There were still things he had not figured out, like Type: Null... How could he let this rich young master die here?!

But Silvally still spotted them. Its expression turned crazed as it opened its mouth, preparing to blast them with Hyper Beam.

But just then, a figure suddenly rushed in from outside and slammed into Silvally. Hyper Beam veered off and blasted toward the top of the warehouse, blowing the entire roof apart.

Xingye immediately crouched down to avoid the blast wave. Then he looked over, and delight instantly appeared on his face. He had not expected Cyclizar, which had just been one-shot, to get back up again!

But the next second, his smile froze. Cyclizar's eyes were no longer their usual goofy black. They had turned into colorful OLED dot-matrix displays with an intense futuristic feel, looking especially bizarre!

Then, purple electric currents spread out from beneath Cyclizar's feet, instantly covering the entire warehouse. It was Electric Terrain—but purple.

"This is Electric... no, could it be Hadron Engine?!"

Xingye was doubtful, because he had never seen it before. But Gladion, beside him, was shocked. "What is going on? That Cyclizar can actually stand against Type: Null with the AR System gone berserk..."

Before he could finish, Xingye deliberately grinned. "How nice. You use a Legendary Pokémon, I use cheats."
