"Are you here? Then I'll—"
Looking at the large dogs charging from the front left and right, Sun Wuming spread his ten fingers into claw shapes, with both palms facing each other at his right waist.
"Ka!"
Sun Wuming's body leaned slightly backward.
"Me!!"
Next, a dazzling white light burst between his palms.
"Ha!!!"
The light grew increasingly brilliant, even overshadowing the setting sun in the twilight.
It dyed the entire sky of Wooden Pole Town white.
By now, the charging Cangxiang and Zangmarant were less than ten meters away from Sun Wuming.
"Me!!!!"
Sun Wuming's lips curled into a smile.
The blue-white ball of searing energy transformed into a beam and blasted forward.
It met Cangxiang and Zangmarant head-on.
"Grrrr!!!"
Deep wolf howls echoed again as they struggled forward, trying to push back the Kamehameha wave.
"Is that person fighting those two Pokémon alone?"
The girl in the black leather jacket exclaimed with wide eyes, unable to believe what she was seeing.
Boom!!!
No one answered her as a heavy explosion rang out.
It completely engulfed and swallowed Cangxiang and Zangmarant's bodies.
The two wolf-like creatures' bodies were sent flying backward, heading straight for the two girls watching from afar.
"Watch out!"
Seeing the two wolf-like Pokémon flying rapidly in their direction,
Sonia didn't think twice before bending down to embrace the punk-styled girl into her arms, shielding her behind herself.
"When did that woman get over there!?"
Sun Wuming, noticing this scene, was startled himself.
He had been completely immersed in battle and hadn't noticed any spectators approaching.
By the time he noticed, Cangxiang and Zangmarant, who had been blasted by the Kamehameha, were already flying toward Sonia and another unfamiliar girl.
For Pokémon, being hit wouldn't be much of an issue.
But those two ordinary, delicate girls would likely be crushed to paste the moment they were struck.
"No choice..."
Estimating that the dogs would crash into those two in less than a fraction of a second,
Sun Wuming gritted his teeth, the crimson aura burning around his body grew more brilliant, and his muscles swelled even larger.
"Triple Kaio-ken!!!"
Sonia and the punk girl only heard Sun Wuming's roar from afar.
Bang!!!
What they heard next was just a deafening sound, like something heavy hitting the ground.
Several seconds later, the expected pain of being hit by the Pokémon didn't come.
Only then did Sonia gather her courage to open her eyes and look back.
The girl in her arms did the same.
Then, they saw a scene they would never forget—
Less than half a meter away, Sun Wuming had one arm on each side, carrying the two three-meter-tall dogs on his shoulders.
"Really now, normal people would run away when they hear this kind of commotion, right? Yet you actually came running over."
Sun Wuming, carrying one on each shoulder, looked down at Sonia who was still holding the girl, complaining irritably.
Sonia's mouth fell slightly open, her heart beating wildly several times.
After a while, she came to her senses, lightly punched his chest with her small fist, and pouted:
"You're doing this kind of thing in front of someone's house and you still have the nerve to say that?"
"Ahhh—"
However, as soon as Sonia's kitty punch landed,
Sun Wuming let out a heart-wrenching cry, his arms trembled, and Cangxiang and Zangmarant fell to the ground with a "thud."
Sun Wuming himself staggered two steps and fell forward.
"Kyaa!"
Caught off guard, Sonia was knocked to the ground by Sun Wuming, her face turning bright red.
"What are you doing?!"
Sonia exclaimed in embarrassment.
The next second, seeing Sun Wuming's pain-contorted face, she suddenly became worried.
"W-what's wrong? Are you hurt somewhere?"
"The t-triple Kaio-ken... l-looks like it was still too much for my current self... haa haa..."
Sun Wuming, lying on the ground with a twitching expression, forced a smile.
Though Sonia didn't understand what "Kaio-ken" was,
From Sun Wuming's tone, it seemed he had used some technique that exceeded his body's limits during the battle.
This wasn't strange; among Pokémon moves too, there were many high-power moves that would harm the user.
"Um... could you help me get a Senzu Bean? It's in my chest pocket... please..."
Sun Wuming spoke while taking deep breaths to ease the pain surging throughout his body.
"Honestly, why use a move your body can't handle?"
Sonia said with a slightly red face as she reached into Sun Wuming's chest pocket, trying to change the subject.
"Wasn't it to save you all?"
Sun Wuming said with weary eyes.
"Um... th-thank you..."
Sonia responded softly, keeping her head down.
His chest feels even bigger than mine...
While feeling around, Sonia couldn't help but grumble internally.
