Ye Feng faced the Ice Punch without any panic, a slight smile on his face. He said,
"Since you've used Ice Punch, I'll let you taste my fist as well."
Hearing this, Blastoise merely scoffed.
How great was the gap between humans and Pokémon?
The gap was immense.
Setting aside everything else, imagine pitting the world boxing champion against Blastoise in a fistfight.
The world champion wouldn't even qualify as a subordinate to Blastoise, let alone a grandson.
A single casual punch from Blastoise would be enough to end his life, especially with the added move of Ice Punch. Thus, in its view, Ye Feng was doomed, and to utter such arrogant words before his death.
But the moment fist met fist, Blastoise was wrong. It felt that the being before it was not human at all, but a super Pokémon wearing a human's skin. Ye Feng sent it flying with a single punch, crashing heavily against the rock it had leaned on earlier.
The rock shattered with a rumble.
It turned into countless specks of dust that dispersed into the air.
In just one exchange, the entire group led by Blastoise was annihilated.
Immediately after, Ye Feng turned his gaze towards the oppressed Squirtle in the distance. The Squirtle trembled violently, its legs shaking with fear as Ye Feng looked at it.
Ye Feng waved at it, signaling it to come closer.
The Squirtle, trembling, slowly approached.
As soon as it arrived, Ye Feng spoke to it,
"Do you want to turn things around?"
The Squirtle didn't understand Ye Feng's meaning.
Ye Feng: "I've seen you being bullied for so long. Don't you ever think about getting revenge?"
The Squirtle looked at its fellow Pokémon, all lying around, stunned by electricity, and at the immobilized Blastoise. It nodded.
'I want revenge, but I lack the strength.'
It communicated.
After saying that, it regretted it. Humans shouldn't be able to understand it, right? But to its surprise, Ye Feng seemed to understand.
"It's very simple. Just become my Pokémon."
Ye Feng walked over to the large black iron pot, crouched down, and saw what looked like a pile of fish caught from the sea, prepared as soup. He dipped a finger into the soup and tasted it.
To his surprise, the fish soup tasted quite delicious. It seemed this Squirtle had good cooking skills.
"Since your cooking is good, you'll boil all your companions into soup for me later."
'You want to eat them?!'
The Squirtle was shocked.
It wasn't surprising that the Squirtle was shocked. After all, they were one of the starter Pokémon of the Kanto region. Who would eat them? They were too precious to be eaten.
In the past, people who came to this island came to capture them. It never expected that the incredibly handsome human before it would want to eat them, and it didn't seem like he was joking.
'Master, let me have this one.'
The Red-Striped Pikachu walked up to the giant Blastoise and pointed, saying.
Ye Feng pondered for a moment. He was contemplating the differences in the meat of Blastoise, Squirtle, and Wartortle.
Hmm, Blastoise's meat seemed too tough. He didn't like eating tough meat.
"In that case, it's yours."
The Red-Striped Pikachu flashed a wide, benevolent smile at Blastoise.
Blastoise was immobilized.
It heard the conversation between the yellow mouse and the human.
Eat it?
On what grounds?
Frankly speaking, you weren't even as big as a part of me!
At this moment.
The Squirtles and Wartortles that had been hit by the Red-Striped Pikachu's Thunderbolt also woke up.
However, they were all lying on the ground, unable to move.
They were paralyzed by electricity.
They looked at their leader and the Red-Striped Pikachu.
The bullied Squirtle also watched this scene.
Rayquaza did the same.
Although it had always stayed by Ye Feng's side, it was a pity that it knew the Red-Striped Pikachu ate other Pokémon but had never personally witnessed it in action.
Whether it was the Clefairy on Mt. Moon or the wild area that time.
Therefore, it wanted to know how the Red-Striped Pikachu ate.
But, to the shock of all the Pokémon except Ye Feng.
The Red-Striped Pikachu suddenly opened its mouth.
Its small mouth expanded instantly, reaching three meters in length and two meters in width.
Before Blastoise could even let out a cry, it was swallowed whole.
At this moment, on the silent island, the gentle breeze was accompanied by the sound of Pikachu chewing and the screams of Blastoise from within its mouth!
'Swallowed it whole?!'
All the Pokémon who witnessed this scene were so terrified they nearly wet themselves.
Approximately thirty seconds later.
The Red-Striped Pikachu seemed to have finished Blastoise and looked at the Squirtles and Wartortles on the ground.
Ye Feng saw its intentions and said,
"Leave a dozen or so for cooking, and you and Rayquaza can have the rest."
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking.
The Red-Striped Pikachu pounced on a Squirtle.
The Squirtle, terrified, shouted, 'Brother Pikachu! Spare my life! I'll be your subordinate!!'
But Pikachu never needed subordinates. With a single gulp, it immediately pounced on another.
The scene was utterly bloody.
Ye Feng looked at Rayquaza, "Aren't you eating?"
Rayquaza looked at the Squirtles and Wartortles on the ground.
Although it had already experienced the thrill of becoming stronger by eating Pokémon, that was when it was a Caterpie.
It was now a Dragon! Not an insect! It was a noble dragon!
So, turtles?
Heh.
They were not worthy of being its food.
It looked at the Red-Striped Pikachu.
Its eyes no longer held the fear it once had for it.
Only a sense of calm and disdain remained.
It felt the Red-Striped Pikachu was too barbaric.
Like an animal.
A mere rodent.
Therefore, Rayquaza did not move.
Ye Feng then looked at the bullied Squirtle behind him and said, "You, go and cook my companions in more flavors for me."
"Steamed, braised, savory, stewed, roasted, deep-fried, stir-fried, grilled, garlic-flavored, pan-fried."
The Squirtle was still in shock from the bloody scene with the Red-Striped Pikachu.
Hearing Ye Feng's words, it stood stunned for a while.
It initially thought Ye Feng was joking, but it turned out to be true.
This guy and his Pokémon were really going to eat them!!!
It was a little scared.
But it still mustered the courage.
Because its intuition told it that if it didn't obey the man before it, it would suffer the same fate as its companions!!!
'But I need some time. I need to get the seasonings.'
The Squirtle gestured to Ye Feng.
Fine, better a dead friend than a living me.
Even though they always bullied it, its method of revenge had never been to kill them.
It was not entirely their fault.
"Alright, go ahead."
Hearing this, the Squirtle nodded and ran into the island's forest. Here lay the accumulated belongings of this group – a pile of luggage. This was left behind by humans who had come to the island and were killed by Blastoise.
There were quite a few of these luggage bags.
They contained seasonings for cooking.
The Squirtle had used some of these when making the soup earlier.
