Xu Mu looked straight at the Pokémon and said to Cynthia:
"Cynthia!"
"Please don't get too worked up!"
"Don't start cooking!"
"I'll take care of everything!"
"I'll cook for you!"
With that, Xu Mu hung up.
He turned anxiously to Zeraora and said:
"Zeraora, hurry!"
"Otherwise, I'm afraid neither of us will come out of this well!"
Zeraora froze at Xu Mu's words.
Then he looked at the Metagross before him, feeling rather helpless.
His Trainer had told him to do it.
What reason did he have to refuse?
So Zeraora faced Metagross.
He pushed off with both legs and charged straight at it.
Metagross stood before him.
Electricity crackled across Zeraora's fists.
Metagross said nothing.
The little guy in front of him had been getting on his nerves.
Because of that little guy,
Metagross couldn't retreat safely.
Who could have seen this coming?
He had only come to the human world for a stroll.
Now he might lose his life over it!
Metagross brought his hands together, facing Zeraora.
A wave of light shot toward Zeraora.
Zeraora reacted with astonishing speed.
He didn't even blink.
He darted aside.
Metagross let out an angry roar.
Then he charged at Zeraora.
Zeraora's heart jolted.
He struck hard at Metagross.
A fierce look grew in Zeraora's eyes.
That big brute was reckless.
He had attacked him head-on
without even considering whether he was strong enough!
Zeraora darted aside again.
Rage flared brighter in Metagross's eyes.
All four of his arms slammed into the ground.
A huge cloud of dust billowed up.
There was no denying it—Metagross was incredibly strong!
Zeraora used Body Flicker to appear behind Metagross.
He drove a punch into Metagross's back!
The blow itself barely registered.
But Metagross still felt awful.
It wasn't the punch—it was the powerful current
