Machamp and the Machoke continued pulling the carts.

Azumarill swung her fist and sent a lunging Houndoom flying away with a howl.

Julian’s eyes widened.

That much strength?

Was it the Huge Power ability?

With power like that, leaving her in the kitchen to knead bread was a complete waste.

They should send Croconaw over to knead bread instead.

Mr. Mime’s fist suddenly lit up with brilliant electricity, and he also punched a Houndoom away.

As for the last one, Croconaw was eager to show off and spat out a fierce Water Gun.

Houndoom nimbly dodged, only for Bayleef to bind him with Vine Whip and smash him hard into the Houndoom that Mr. Mime had knocked down.

That Houndoom still tried to get back up, but Azumarill ran over.

One punch struck the top of his head!

Houndoom’s vision went black, and his body went limp.

Julian blinked.

Azumarill and Mr. Mime, these two cooks, were actually this good at fighting?

Fine.

Their immediate superior, Mr. Mime, clearly could not fight as well as Azumarill.

Croconaw used Water Gun, while Sneasel spat out an Icy Wind, freezing the road and the three Houndoom into ice.

Before they could catch up to Machamp, the enemy soldiers caught up again.

Julian directly fired a string of Embers at the enemy.

A Lucario swung a blue bone club and blocked all the sparks.

No way!

The enemy not only had Houndoom, but Lucario too?

Then had all their movements been under the enemy’s surveillance?

Fine.

This was a dull-witted Lucario who was not good at using Aura and had a very small sensing range.

Julian guessed that Lucario probably did not even know how to use Aura properly.

Throughout the fight, he only used Bone Rush wildly and Rock Smash while fighting Croconaw, with no sign of using Aura Sphere at all.

With only their ten Pokémon, plus a timid Quilladin who curled into a ball and took hits, and an Oshawott who had been knocked down immediately by the enemy...

Their combat strength was completely insufficient!

Julian dodged a sword swung by a human.

He spat Ember at him, only for the human to raise his shield directly.

Pushing through the sparks, he slammed Julian away.

Croconaw was extremely brave.

Or rather, reckless.

He charged forward again, then was sent flying by Lucario’s bone club.

Mr. Mime suddenly shouted, "You lot, run! I’ll hold them back!"

Wild Psychic power erupted from Mr. Mime’s body, directly pinning the enemies in place.

As for the Pokémon who could not be held down, Azumarill swung her fists.

One Mega Punch each!

Quilladin was the first to climb back up. He grabbed the unconscious Oshawott and ran.

Bayleef whipped a Roselia away with Vine Whip, then dragged Croconaw and fled.

Julian turned and ran.

Sneasel picked up Espurr and ran.

Cyndaquil scrambled away on all fours.

Mr. Mime did not hold out for long.

Azumarill’s tail wrapped in water as she swept away the surrounding enemies, then tucked Mr. Mime under one arm and ran.

Mr. Mime still did not forget to wave his hand and create barriers in the air.

Although the barriers shattered with a single strike, they could still barely delay the enemy.

Very soon, they reunited with Machamp.

Because another enemy unit had already intercepted Machamp and the Machoke up ahead.

Machamp swung his fists and roared as he punched away a lunging Dodrio.

"We need someone fast to return to the castle and ask for help!"

Quilladin immediately said, "Me! I’m fast!"

Could you look at that round body of yours before saying that?

Azumarill panted and said, "Send Sneasel. He’s the fastest."

Among the entire team, the only Pokémon who could really fight were the two Machamp, Azumarill, and Mr. Mime.

The four Machoke performed only averagely, just a little better than Croconaw.

Sneasel gritted his teeth.

"Hold on. I’ll bring reinforcements back as quickly as possible!"

Sneasel rushed out very smoothly.

Seeing that, Julian’s heart sank.

He saw through the enemy’s plan.

"They intend to use the food to lure our army into coming to reinforce us!"

"If we retreat now, we should be able to return to the castle smoothly."

Croconaw roared and knocked a Pokémon away, then shouted, "Torchic, if you’re such a coward and want to run, then go now!"

Machamp, however, calmly swung his fists and knocked down two Ninjask.

"Give up. Without the food, even if we return, we’ll be executed!"

The other Machamp added, "On the other hand, if we hold out until reinforcements arrive, then even if the food is lost, the responsibility won’t fall on us."

Julian had nothing to say.

Machamp really did have greater workplace experience than him.

Bayleef knocked a Loudred away, blocking an attack for Julian.

Oshawott, who had woken up, was also trying hard to fight a Ninjask with his scalchop blade.

A Diggersby suddenly broke through the ground and sent Julian flying.

Although Croconaw had called Julian a coward, seeing Torchic get knocked away still made him charge forward furiously to avenge him.

"You dare hurt my companion!"

Julian climbed back up, flames burning in his eyes.

Light bloomed from his body as he stretched taller and grew arms.

He had been waiting for this moment for a long time!

Now, it was his time!

Fire energy gathered around his claws as he rushed in front of Diggersby and struck down hard on the top of his head.

Diggersby’s body trembled, and he fainted on the spot.

Croconaw’s eyes widened.

Why was Combusken this strong the moment he evolved?

While Croconaw was still thinking, Julian’s whole body ignited with flames.

He blasted six Pokémon along the way into the air, leaving a burning line across the ground.

The enemy commander’s eyes sharpened.

"That Combusken..."

Even from a distance, he could see the line of fire torn across the battlefield and the enemy Pokémon scattered in its wake.

"He only just evolved?"

The deputy quickly answered, "Yes, my lord. He was a Torchic not long ago. His battle instincts are exceptional."

The enemy commander narrowed his eyes.

"Capture that Combusken alive. I want to persuade him to join me. If I can obtain his help..."

"Why would I need to worry about my great cause failing?"

The deputy frowned.

"My lord, is one Combusken truly worth that much?"

The enemy commander waved his hand.

"You don’t understand. If I want to seize the throne, I must have a Pokémon with extraordinary potential."

"Besides, my elder brother obtained a Chesnaught. How can I miss this Combusken?"

The deputy nodded.

"I understand. I’ll arrange it immediately."

After the deputy gave the order, the enemy’s offensive instantly strengthened.

Even though Julian had just evolved, he could not withstand such an assault.

Just as he was about to run out of strength, a blue blade of light swept across in front of him.

All the enemy soldiers were directly cut away.

A Samurott’s figure appeared.

Oshawott cried out excitedly, "Dad!"

Samurott, however, did not even glance at Oshawott before continuing to charge into the enemy formation.

The middle-aged human soldier who usually gave Julian and the others orders followed beside Samurott, also swinging his sword and mowing through the enemy.

The enemy commander’s expression changed.

"Sound the horn. Have them retreat."

The second prince’s face turned dark.

"My elder brother let those two come over. Is he trying to have me killed?"

In any case, the battlefield no longer had anything to do with Julian and the others.

They had only just caught their breath when Machamp said, "Get up quickly. We need to transport the food back immediately! Anyone who still has strength, come help us pull and push the carts."

Two Machoke had died in battle.

On the other hand, all the kitchen Pokémon had survived.

Sneasel ran over with a pale face.

"Are you all alright?"

Croconaw grinned.

"Thanks to you bringing reinforcements in time, or we’d have been dead for sure."

Pushing the carts, everyone returned smoothly to King AZ’s castle.

They could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
