Chapter 50: The Grand Melee – Rescuing the Growlithe Herd and Arcanine!
"Kirlia, search for Growlithe's tracks and guide me to the target direction!"
Following Zhang Feng's command, the twin Kirlia immediately began using their psychic powers to conduct a large-scale search.
Not long after, the Kirlia stopped using their telekinesis and instead switched to telepathy, transmitting the information directly into Zhang Feng's mind in words!
"The target is to the northwest. Five Growlithe and one Arcanine have been found within the search area, and they appear to be targeted by a herd of Camerupt!"
"There are about thirty Camerupt, along with quite a few Numel. It seems the Arcanine must have accidentally wandered into the Camerupt's territory!"
Hearing the words of the Kirlia sisters, Zhang Feng could not help but frown.
Yet, a solution quickly came to mind!
Since the Arcanine and Growlithe pack were in trouble right now, this was the absolute best timing for him, the Trainer, to descend like a hero from the heavens!
Once he resolved the crisis for the Arcanine and Growlithe and subdued these Pokémon, wouldn't capturing them be as easy as taking candy from a baby?
With this thought, Zhang Feng immediately had Kirlia teleport him over.
After a brief flash before his eyes, Zhang Feng arrived at the edge of the territories occupied by the Camerupt and Arcanine packs.
It seemed the two species were having a dispute over territory.
Fortunately, the Kirlia were smart enough not to make Zhang Feng appear directly in the middle of the two major packs, instead having him hide quietly behind a boulder to observe the dispute between them.
In terms of strength, the Camerupt pack was definitely stronger. There were thirty-two Camerupt alone above level thirty, along with nearly seventy Numel.
The leader of the Camerupt even possessed level forty-two strength, and its potential was of the purple grade!
In contrast, on the Arcanine side, only the adult Arcanine possessed formidable combat power, standing at level forty-six with purple potential.
As for the remaining five, they were all Growlithe, with the highest level being merely level twenty. It seemed these little Growlithe were all the Arcanine's children!

Background: Wandering continuously with its mother, enduring countless hardships before finally reaching Mount Chimney.
Hobbies: Yearns to protect its mother, become stronger, and guard its siblings.
After viewing the attribute panels of this Arcanine and the Growlithe, Zhang Feng basically understood the reason why the Arcanine and Growlithe appeared here!
It was nothing more than Arcanine leading her five children, unable to find a suitable habitat, and therefore wandering from place to place.
Although the mother Arcanine possessed formidable strength, her children had yet to grow up and could not withstand the pressure from Pokémon living in packs, forcing them to continue their life of wandering.
Today was no different. After finally finding a place suitable for Fire-type Pokémon to live, they had accidentally strayed into the territory of the Camerupt, provoking them into driving them away.
"Roar!"
Faced with the surrounding group of Camerupt, the Arcanine wore a fierce expression, fire-type energy already condensing in her mouth. The slightest misstep could trigger an all-out battle!
Similarly, the Camerupt leader looked at Arcanine with utter contempt at the moment.
This bastard daring to enter the territory of their Camerupt was simply courting death!
The next moment, at the Camerupt leader's command, a large number of Camerupt successively began executing their moves!
At that critical juncture, Zhang Feng immediately hurled his Poké Balls!
Accompanied by countless flashes of red light, Aerodactyl, Sceptile, Milotic, Pidgeot, Aggron, Metang, Glaceon, Umbreon, and Bagon made their grand entrances all at once!
"Milotic, use Rain Dance! Aerodactyl, Rock Slide! Pidgeot, Brave Bird! Sceptile, close-quarters charge, harvest the opponents at will! Aggron and Metang, use Hyper Beam! Monferno, Mach Punch! Glaceon, use Hydro Pump! Umbreon, Dark Pulse! Bagon, coordinate with Kirlia to mop up the Numel!"
Receiving Zhang Feng's command, once all his primary battle Pokémon appeared collectively with the powerful ones taking the lead, countless attacks rained down upon the Camerupt pack in an instant!
When it came to the number of Pokémon, Zhang Feng was truly unafraid. At worst, he could release all the Pidgeotto, Grovyle, Aggron, and others resting in his system space!
Gathering them together, that would amount to several hundred combat units above level twenty!
Dealing with a mere hundred or so Camerupt was quite effortless!
Not to mention, there was still a Rayquaza residing within the system space!
Faced with the sudden appearance of a group of Pokémon and a human trainer, the Camerupt grew furious and immediately launched an attack!
However, against Milotic, who cast Rain Dance right off the bat, torrential rain poured down, causing the Fire-type Pokémon in this area to become agitated.
A large number of low-level Numel were naturally battered by the rain and could no longer continue battling!
Coupled with Glaceon's Hydro Pump attacks, more than a dozen Numel went down in an instant!
Similarly, with the discharge of Hyper Beam, several Camerupt were blasted away, directly losing their ability to battle!
Sceptile relied on its formidable speed and power to massacre the Fire-type Pokémon like a one-hit-kill assassin, and the number of Camerupt falling by its hands was no less than ten!
Aerodactyl's Rock Slide also landed heavily among the Camerupt group, rendering a significant number of them unable to fight!
Added to the protection of Pidgeot, Milotic, Monferno, Kirlia, and the other Pokémon, merely five minutes later, the vast majority of the Pokémon in the Camerupt pack had been knocked out!
Seeing this scene, the Arcanine and Growlithe were also stunned. Fortunately, under the descending Rain Dance, Glaceon had erected an ice-pillar roof above the Growlithe to block the onslaught of rain, which made Arcanine realize that Zhang Feng was here to help them, preventing her from attacking him!
Left with no choice when facing the formidable enemy Zhang Feng, the Camerupt immediately fled, no longer lingering in this area.
Seeing the Camerupt depart, Zhang Feng immediately called off his Pokémon, turning his focus to the greatest harvest of this trip—the Growlithe!
