Chapter 96: Jirachi's Wishing Star Part 7

---

"Salamence!"

Seeing Salamence trapped in the dust and unaware of the situation, Butler shouted loudly. After all, this was his last means of confrontation.

However, with the roar of Salamence in the dust, Butler, who was originally worried, was relieved.

When a breeze blew, the dust surrounding Salamence was completely blown away, and Salamence's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

Although Salamence had many scars on its body, it was not serious enough to lose its combat ability.

"Oh, it really hasn't lost its combat ability."

Gary had expected this, so he was not surprised.

"I won't give up easily."

Butler would not stop without getting Jirachi.

"Salamence, use Flamethrower!"

For the Steel-type Metagross, Butler chose a Fire-type move to exploit its weakness.

Hot flames continuously gushed out of Salamence's mouth and attacked the direction of Shiny Metagross.

"Psychic!"

Faced with the incoming flames, Shiny Metagross did not sit still and wait for defeat but used Psychic under Gary's command.

The light blue psychic energy controlled the incoming Flamethrower in mid-air, and even as Salamence continued to increase its output, it was still unable to move.

"Send it back!"

With a wave of Gary's hand, Shiny Metagross's psychic energy instantly exerted force and returned Salamence's Flamethrower to it.

However, Salamence also flapped its dragon wings in time to avoid the attack.

"Psychic!"

However, just after Salamence stopped in the air, Shiny Metagross's Psychic was launched again, but this time the target was Salamence.

Under the effect of Psychic, Salamence was controlled in mid-air in an instant.

"Break free, Salamence!"

Although Salamence struggled hard, it could not get rid of the strong psychic power of Shiny Metagross.

"It's time to give it the final blow, Metagross, use Flash Cannon!"

As soon as Gary's order came, his Shiny Metagross began to gather all the energy in its body.

These energies quickly formed a white beam, which was emitted from Shiny Metagross, targeting Salamence, who was controlled in the air.

"Run, Salamence!"

Although Butler also shouted hard, it was useless. The Flash Cannon of Shiny Metagross directly hit Salamence.

The final result was also undoubted. Under the attack of the Flash Cannon, Salamence was knocked down on the spot, and then fell to the ground, losing its fighting energy.

"Damn it! I won't give up!"

After seeing that his two main Pokémon had lost their fighting ability, Butler still refused to give up.

However, just when Butler was about to use his technology to attack Gary, he was controlled by the telekinetic moves of Shiny Metagross.

"Do you think I didn't notice your little move?"

Gary certainly noticed Butler's little move, so he let Shiny Metagross control him first.

"You really don't want to give up!"

To be honest, Gary had to admit that Butler's will was really firm.

"Humph!"

Facing the powerful Gary, Butler knew that he had completely lost, but he was not willing to admit defeat to Gary verbally.

"Heh."

Facing Butler who kept his mouth shut, Gary didn't take it to heart, but said something that made Butler's face change suddenly.

"Butler, I really don't know what you are insisting on. Don't you know that Groudon, the Continent Pokémon, is just sleeping somewhere in the world?"

"Everything you do will only give birth to a monster that only knows how to devour everything."

Gary told Butler what the original script would result in.

"No, my experiment will never fail!"

But even to this day, Butler still firmly believes that his experiment will not fail. This is the answer that every researcher will have.

"Butler, I beg you, give up that illusory experiment! Let's go back to our hometown together and start our new life, okay?"

Looking at Butler who was controlled by Gary, Diane said to Butler in a pleading tone.

"I can't turn back, Diane."

Even with the persuasion of his childhood sweetheart Diane, Butler could not wake up unless he really saw his failure.

"You are really stubborn!"

Gary had expected Butler who still refused to wake up.

"But I don't have the patience to wait for you to wake up. I think I should hand you over to the Hoenn Alliance and let them judge your guilt. If I am not wrong, you will spend the rest of your life in prison. You will repent in prison for the rest of your life!"

After thinking about it for a while, Gary finally decided to hand Butler, who had improper thoughts about Jirachi, over to the Hoenn Alliance for handling.

In other words, Butler did not cause the same impact as in the original work. If Butler really caused such a result, Gary would not let him have the opportunity to repent as in the original work. Gary would send him to hell completely.

"What do you think? Dear Miss Diane."

After talking about the treatment of Butler, Gary looked at Diane, who was heartbroken.

Diane, the blonde beauty, still has her own conscience and has not done anything bad, so Gary has no intention of pursuing her.

"This is the only way to deal with it now."

Diane understood that Butler had completely entered a dead end, so the best way was to imprison Butler completely.

Gary was also a little surprised by Diane's decision. He didn't expect Diane to be so determined.

"This is the consequence he caused, and he should bear it himself."

Perhaps Diane saw the meaning of the surprised look in Gary's eyes, so she explained it.

"I know."

Just when Gary took out his mobile phone and was about to contact Steven, a sudden voice behind him interrupted Gary's action.

"What happened here?"
