Reincarnated in a Pokémon world

19. Despair

Lyon broke out in a cold sweat just by looking at the black man's smile. Joltérax put on his mask again real quick so Lyon was only able to catch a glimpse of his true face. But that was enough to perceive this man's real nature. A gentleman on the outside, a monster in the inside. And who wanted to play with you. F#ck off, perv!

Suddenly and unexpectedly, Joltérax threw a silver ball towards Espurr which became a net in midair. Before Lyon could even react, Espurr had been already caught. The net released intense electricity. Espurr was only able to let out a yelp before fainting on the spot. Joltérax beamed with pleasure upon hearing this sound. Others' screams and pains were a rapture to him.

- One down. Who's next?

Lyon was still in a state of shock because Joltérax's movement just now was too fast. But he had to retaliate somehow. Lyon wouldn't stand still and waited for his death without lifting a finger. Judging from the high-tech silver ball, this was going to be a hard fight.

- Deerling, Take Down. Minccino, Swift. Riolu, Force Palm.

Lyon gave orders consecutively. He wanted to finish this battle immediately. They were all worn out and couldn't afford to fight any longer without rest. When Lyon looked at Zangoose trembling in fear, he felt anger towards Joltérax boiling in his chest. He knew that to Zangoose, Joltérax was its trauma, its worst nightmare. But Lyon didn't think it was this bad. Just what this son of b!tch had done to make Zangoose become like this.

The Zangoose he knew was a brave Pokémon who didn't hesitate to rush in a battle first and used its own body to shield its comrades. He needed that one to return because they're in the midst of a battlefield right now. When your comrades are out there fighting, you can't just sit back and do nothing. Lyon knew it's a bit much to ask someone who was psychologically traumatized come to their senses on their own but there's no other choice.

- Zangoose, if you're my comrade then stop being a coward.

Zangoose was jolted upon hearing Lyon's words. The black man frowned when seeing this scene but soon his mind was too occupied in dealing with the situation firsthand. Deerling charged at the black man at a very high speed and tried to slam into him with full force. As Joltérax knew what would happen, he easily avoided the attack. A whip appeared on his hand. He swung and wrapped it around Deerling's hind leg. Joltérax yanked the whip and utilized the force to throw Deerling at a huge tree. The impact was so big that made a loud thump and caused Deerling to lose consciousness.

When Lyon saw this scene, he was trying to take Espurr out of the net which was impossible because it's still electrified. There was a burn mark on Deerling's hind leg. Lyon knitted his brows when he realized the thing on the black man's hand was an electric whip. This had become more troublesome.

Riolu ran up to Joltérax, thrust its palm forward and fired a huge light green blast from its paw at the front. The black man immediately took a step to his left to evade the attack. He swung his hand, wrapped the whip around Riolu's waist then swung again to pull Riolu along and slam it into a big boulder. The collision caused Riolu to pass out instantly. Lyon could see how that whip electrocuted Riolu the moment they came into contact with each other. Again, there's nothing he could do to help aside from staring at his Pokémons suffering and clenching his fists.

Minccino's entire tail glowed gold and it waved its tail, firing multiple gold-colored stars from its tail at the black man. There's no way to dodge when Swift covered a large area around him. Lyon thought it was curtains for Joltérax but no. This son of b!tch pulled out from his pocket a silver cube and somehow activated that thing. It started shining and formed a light green barrier surround him that blocked any coming gold-colored stars. It took Lyon a moment to realize the silver cube worked just like Protect.

His jaw dropped upon seeing this scene. Lyon really wanted to spit a mouthful of blood at this son of b!tch's face. "What the f#ck? This is cheating. Administrator? Where are you? I want to quit. There's no way in h€ll I'm gonna play a game full of bugs."

As Lyon kept screaming in his mind, Joltérax swung his hand and wrapped the whip around Minccino's waist. But this time, to Lyon's surprise, there's no electricity appeared. Before Lyon could think of a reason, Joltérax started to swing his hand back and forth continuously. As a result, Minccino at the end of the whip was slammed into the ground repeatedly.

- Bad child! You made me use the precious Protect Cube. How do you want to be punished, huh?

Joltérax kept smiling while torturing Minccino. There wasn't a hint of anger but extreme pleasure instead. Lyon's ears were filled with Minccino's painful screams. He was so furious that his blood was boiling. Joltérax hadn't electrocuted Minccino because this son of b!tch wanted Minccino to be conscious while he took his time to torture it.

Lyon howled and charged headlong at the black man with the intent to stop his barbarous act. This was... uh, yeah... stupid. But Lyon didn't think much at the time. He just wanted to rescue Minccino from Joltérax's hands. Lyon had been training diligently but most of the time he trained how to run or avoid directly engaging in battle because he had thought for certain that his role was going to be a commander in the back. So right now a 5-year-old child charging at an adult was definitely a suicidal act.

Joltérax was smiling when he saw Lyon running towards him. The black man stopped swinging his hand and released Minccino from the whip. He turned to look at Lyon with a mocking expression. Then Joltérax threw a punch towards his chest when they were close enough. Lyon heard a thump then a cracking noise when the black man's fist came in contact with his chest. He was devoured by intense pain. Some of his ribs must have broke. Lyon couldn't really breathe when his every movement would cause more pains. Now he was lying on the ground like a dead dog.

- Oh, I'm so sorry that I forgot you are here. Don't you worry, kiddo. I'm going to take good care of you all.

Lyon heard Joltérax speaking gently but he did not feel touched at all. He could imagine how Joltérax was still smiling just by hearing the voice and it disgusted him. Eevee and Kirlia had been unconscious all this time. Honedge was like an ornament when it was not equipped as a weapon. Espurr, Deerling, Riolu, Minccino now all fainted. There was only Zangoose still standing but incapacitated by fear. Judging the situation, Lyon came to the conclusion that they were doomed for sure. A feeling of despair descended on him as he thought of what would happen to them. Then Joltérax spoke again. Lyon knew this would be the start of their nightmares.

- Now, let's play.
