Jiang Mo stood still, his gaze tightly Lock-On Hunter J, who was standing on Aerodactyl's back. Her high and mighty posture made his heart clench.
After a bitter struggle with those Black-Clad Men, he had thought he could finally relax once they were dealt with.
But he hadn't expected Hunter J to suddenly appear, which undoubtedly made the situation even more difficult. This was far more troublesome than dealing with those Black-Clad Men just now.
Jiang Mo suppressed his inner tension, then used the game panel to scan. After the scan, his expression became even more solemn.
Because he discovered that Hunter J's Aerodactyl, compared to its Level 68 two years ago, had already broken through the Heavenly King Level shackles, reaching Level 71!
This gap in levels was like an unbridgeable chasm, signifying a huge disparity in strength between the two sides.
Jiang Mo knew very well that with his current strength, he could not possibly confront such a powerful opponent head-on.
"Little brother, I won't let you run away this time, oh." Hunter J's slightly teasing voice came from the air.
She had actually been there for a while, and had just witnessed Jiang Mo swiftly dealing with the last Black-Clad Man.
However, she had no intention of helping. In her opinion, she had no obligation to save these people.
She was only there to complete a mission she had been entrusted with; she had no interest in meddling in other people's affairs.
However, the methods Jiang Mo had just displayed did pique her interest a little. The boy's proficiency in handling those Black-Clad Men was no worse than that of a member of their Hunter Organization.
"What a pity. If you weren't the target of the mission, I'd really want to recruit you into our Hunter Organization. What a good potential Hunter!"
Hunter J's lips curved slightly upwards, her eyes carrying a hint of playfulness, as if Jiang Mo was already her prey, easily within her grasp, unable to escape her control.
Jiang Mo took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
At this moment, he knew very well that Zhen Yu was not by his side this time and could not help him.
Although he had already contacted Dawn when he realized something was wrong, they were some distance away and would need time to arrive; they couldn't make it in a short while.
The most important thing now was to stall for time. As long as he could hold out until Dawn and the others arrived as reinforcements, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
"Miss Hunter J, how much benefit did the Li family and the Victoria Family give you to target me like this?"
Jiang Mo asked, feigning composure, "I can give you double. Business, after all, can always be negotiated."
Hunter J chuckled softly, shook her head, and said, "Little brother, although our Hunter Organization loves money, we won't easily damage our reputation."
"A mission we accept will definitely be completed. This is our rule, otherwise, who would cooperate with us in the future?"
Jiang Mo cursed her silently, calling her a pretentious bitch, but his face remained calm as he continued, "Then how much do you want? We can discuss it."
"As long as you are willing to give up this mission, I can give you double, or even triple the reward."
Hunter J narrowed her eyes, seemingly genuinely interested in Jiang Mo's proposal, but she quickly shook her head again and said, "Don't waste time, little brother. Do you think I can't see through your little tricks? You're just trying to stall for time."
Jiang Mo's heart sank. This Hunter J was indeed a shrewd and intelligent individual, no wonder the Alliance hadn't been able to catch her for so many years.
However, he still didn't give up and continued, "I don't have the Legendary-Level resources on me. How about Miss Hunter J, you come back with me to get them? How does that sound?"
Upon hearing this, Hunter J immediately burst into laughter, "Hahaha, little brother, you are truly amusing. Do you think I would believe such a clumsy excuse from you?"
As soon as her words fell, her face instantly turned cold, and her tone carried a hint of killing intent: "Since you're unwilling to cooperate, then don't blame me for being impolite."
"Aerodactyl, use Stone Edge!"
Aerodactyl let out a sharp shriek, its wings flapping violently.
In an instant, countless sharp rocks rose from the ground, raining down directly towards Jiang Mo.
Jiang Mo's pupils constricted, and he inwardly cursed, this woman's mood changed faster than flipping a book.
Facing Aerodactyl's fierce attack, he didn't dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately released Goodra. "Goodra, use Protect!" Jiang Mo shouted loudly.
Goodra quickly unfolded a light shield, steadily blocking in front of Jiang Mo, attempting to withstand the powerful attack.
"Goo!"
However, the power of a Heavenly King Level attack was simply too immense.
Even though Goodra tried its best, the Protect light shield, while barely blocking Stone Edge, only lasted for an instant.
The light shield shattered the moment it blocked the attack, turning into specks of light and dissipating into the air.
And Goodra, struck by the aftershock of the attack, let out a painful roar.
Its massive body swayed, clearly having sustained considerable damage, and its eyes showed signs of pain.
"Goodra!"
Jiang Mo's heart tightened, and he quickly ran to Goodra's side, anxiously checking its condition.
If Goodra hadn't had 2x resistance to Rock-type moves, plus its already overpowered defense, it would have collapsed directly from that hit.
Hunter J saw this, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "I didn't expect your Goodra to be so resilient. A mere Gym Leader Class Pokémon actually managed to block my Aerodactyl's attack."
As she spoke, she carefully examined Goodra, then her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had discovered a rare treasure.
"Oh? Your Goodra seems to be a Hisui form, and it's also a Shinny Pokémon."
Her tone was full of surprise and greed, "A Hisui form Shinny Pseudo-Legendary, this is truly rare."
Hunter J made no attempt to hide the greed in her eyes, then sneered and said, "Little brother, I need to add another condition."
"Along with the Legendary-Level resources, you also have to hand over this Goodra to me."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Her words were full of threats. In her eyes, Jiang Mo was now a lamb to be slaughtered.
When Jiang Mo heard Hunter J's words, a surge of anger immediately welled up in his heart.
He looked at Goodra, who was severely injured from protecting him, and his already resolute gaze became even more determined.
"Hunter J, you wish!" Jiang Mo said coldly, his voice laced with extreme fury.
He then took all the Poké Balls from his waist and threw them out with force, "My partners, come out!"
Following Jiang Mo's command, Pikachu, Gengar, Tyranitar, Eevee, and Swampert all appeared.
As soon as they appeared, they, along with Goodra, stood tightly in front of Jiang Mo.
Since there was no peaceful resolution, then they would fight to the very end!
