Just as Ye Qing had guessed, Salamence no longer had the strength to unleash that Draco Meteor, but he still had enough strength to detonate it inside his body.
With a heavy, muffled boom, Salamence's body was jolted more than two meters into the air, then crashed back to the ground.
When the dust cleared, Salamence was still staring at Hunter J's corpse with his eyes open, but there was no longer any life in him.
Ye Qing watched in silence for a long time. What exactly was the bond between Pokémon and humans?
Even the notorious Hunter J had a Pokémon who would follow her to the death.
This showed that although Hunter J had committed all manner of heinous crimes, she had still treated her own Pokémon very well.
Otherwise, Salamence would not have chosen to kill himself so decisively after seeing his trainer die.
With a Pokémon willing to follow her even in death, Hunter J could rest in peace.
"Though I respect you, I still have to loot your corpse."
Muttering this, Ye Qing had everyone start searching Salamence's body for the Dragon Gem and Salamence Mega Stone.
Both items belonged to Hunter J, so he could keep them.
As for whether Hunter J had stolen them from someone else...
How could you prove that the one stolen from you back then was the very one in his hands now?
Aggron could use the Dragon Gem, though it would not do much for him. If the opportunity arose, Ye Qing could trade it for something good, like a Steel Gem.
The Salamence Mega Stone, however, was something else entirely.
Whether Gabite could undergo Mega Evolution in the future depended on it. Surely plenty of people would be willing to trade.
There had been such a commotion
