Qwilfish quietly stayed to the side, like a volcano about to erupt, its round body continuously expanding, like a gas balloon blown up, ready to burst at any moment.

"Qwilfish! Use Poison Thousand Needles!"

Finally, Xia Yong gave the order! Qwilfish, as if liberated, surged with Poison-type energy like a breached dam, wildly gushing out.

This power, like a purple torrent, poured out from Qwilfish's mouth with an overwhelming force, and wherever it passed, the air seemed to be stained with a layer of Toxic color.

The poison formed a dense mist in the air, emitting a suffocating aura. They quickly spread out, enveloping the entire space.

The skill took a parabolic trajectory, attacking the mudflat where the Research Institute personnel were located. The Poison Sting skill formed a heavy rain above everyone's heads, densely pouring down.

The Qwilfish family's exclusive skill - Poison Thousand Needles, a Poison-type skill, 60 power.

It can attack with countless Poison Needles. If the aptitude is high enough, the skill's coverage will be very wide, and the skill's attached effect can sometimes cause the opponent to fall into a poisoned state. When attacking an opponent in a poisoned state, the power becomes 2 times.

The Research Institute personnel on the mudflat all wanted to release their ace Pokémon to resist this attack. Unfortunately, the space was too small to accommodate so many Pokémon.

"We can only take it head-on," Dr. Chen murmured. Beheeyem, a Psychic-type, understood the doctor's thoughts through telepathy and mobilized its surrounding Psychic-type energy, preparing to take the Poison Thousand Needles head-on.

Just then, a high-pitched, melodious, and sacred sound came from afar, echoing in the air like a sound from heaven.

Immediately after, a snow-white figure rushed over like lightning, at a speed that left people dumbfounded, already arriving by the mudflat. And on top of that white figure, there was actually a Trainer sitting steadily.

"Swanna! Whirlpool!"

In an instant, the Water-type elements in the lake water condensed above the mudflat. The surging Water-type energy gathered in the air in a visible form, forming a water current, and then slowly began to rotate, forming a huge Water-type Whirlpool.

The Poison Thousand Needles skill, like a dense rain of arrows, struck down with a sharp momentum. However, those Poison Thousand Needles that fell like a downpour, as if encountering a spatial Whirlpool, were all swallowed by the Whirlpool skill.

The Poison Thousand Needles fell into the Whirlpool one after another, as if attracted by an invisible force, disappearing without a trace. And the Water-type Whirlpool continuously absorbed these toxins, becoming more powerful and turbulent.

Although the power of the Whirlpool skill did not diminish, due to the influence of the Poison-type skill of Poison Thousand Needles, the deep blue Whirlpool gradually took on a faint purple hue. This made the originally pure blue Whirlpool appear even more bizarre.

Suddenly, a crisp bird cry rang out. Swanna emitted dazzling white light from its body. With a gentle flap of its wings, it controlled the huge Whirlpool and fiercely launched it towards Qwilfish.

The Whirlpool spun rapidly in the air, carrying powerful energy and purple toxicity, rushing towards Qwilfish like a cannonball.

This was the first time Zhang Heng had seen such a shocking Water-type skill in reality. In the Pokémon anime, Dawn's Piplup also loved to use this move. He never expected this move to be so balanced in offense and defense, able to block a torrential rain of Poison Thousand Needles and then turn to attack.

With immense power, Qwilfish was not good at speed to begin with, otherwise it wouldn't have been lurking for so long. There was no avoiding it, it could only clash with skills.

"Sharpedo, Scale Shot."

"Qwilfish, Bubble Beam."

Two Quasi-Champion level Pokémon combined their efforts to block this attack. They only resisted for a moment before their offensive was completely shattered by the Whirlpool. The two Pokémon could not withstand such a huge impact. After being hit head-on by the Whirlpool, they were both swept into the turbulent currents at the bottom of the lake. In the chaotic water flow, they lost their balance and were carried away by the swift undercurrents.

With one strike, it defeated the Sharpedo that had been entangled with Dr. Chen for a long time. Its power was terrifying.

This was the first time Zhang Heng had seen Swanna. Most of Swanna's body is white, with a long yellow beak and a black nasal membrane at the very tip of the beak. Its webbed feet are also black. It has two connected tufts of feathers on its head and feathers that curl forward on both sides of its cheeks.

Searching through the original body's memories, he knew that Swanna would start dancing at dawn. It is said that many artists have gained inspiration from them. It is a very elegant Pokémon.

Despite its elegant appearance, it flaps its wings with great force and can fly continuously for thousands of kilometers. It uses its beak to launch fierce attacks, extending its long neck to gracefully perform continuous pecks.

The Trainer on Swanna's back spoke, "Water Blade Gang? Why infiltrate my Huaxia territory?"

This Trainer was about thirty years old, dressed in an expensive, well-made white wingsuit, wearing flight goggles, looking exceptionally professional and handsome. His voice was concise, yet elegant and charming. Such an appearance and temperament made people curious and respectful of him.

A researcher recognized this person and said, "It's Zou Yi, the Flying-type Elite from Goose City, Guangdong Province. Our reinforcements have arrived!"

As long as a team has Elite Four level Pokémon, they can apply to the local provincial alliance to become a Elite Four Trainer, maintaining stability in a region. There are Elite Four ranking competitions every year, and the top eight are called the Eight Chief Elite Four.

Xia Yong: "Why infiltrate Huaxia territory? Why should our Water Blade Gang explain anything to anyone? You're just a mere Elite Four Trainer, yet your tone of questioning is quite grand."

Zou Yi didn't even look at Xia Yong, only stared directly at the other person, then spoke: "The items have already been taken by you. These researchers are important protected targets of the state and the alliance. I advise you not to go down a path of opposition to Huaxia."

The other person looked at Swanna and Zou Yi, then slowly and sinisterly said, "Oh, your Swanna has reached Elite Four level. You've progressed quickly. Alright, then I'll give the Alliance some face. Let's retreat."

Xia Yong and the Little Boss wanted to say something, but seeing that the other person had already recalled Drednaw, they silently turned the speedboat around, preparing to retreat.

At this moment, the person sitting on Bombirdier's back turned around and said, "The Alliance only sent you alone to Lake Heart Island to scout for information, which means you don't know the secrets of Lake Heart Island. Don't get involved, you'll die alone." After speaking, he left.

Zou Yi watched the Water Blade Gang retreat into the distance, and the Research Institute personnel breathed a sigh of relief. Bastiodon was also freed from the Quicksand Abyss and recalled into a Heavy Ball by Zhang Heng, who then added a treatment aerosol to the ball.

Zou Yi patted Swanna's back, then slowly descended onto the mudflat.
