Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Jirachi's Wishing Star Part 6
---
"Butler, don't be stubborn anymore. Let's go back to our hometown and live our lives together, how about that?"
Just when Butler was about to snatch Jirachi from Gary's arms, a pleading voice interrupted his action.
A blonde beauty in a red leather jacket appeared behind Butler. She was Butler's childhood sweetheart, Diane.
At this time, Diane pleaded with tears in her eyes to Butler, who was consumed by his dream.
"No, I won't give up!"
Butler had completely fallen into madness. Even Diane's persuasion couldn't reach him.
"Butler!"
Seeing Butler so obsessed with Jirachi's power, Diane fell to the ground as if the sky had fallen, and tears streamed down her face.
However, Butler turned a blind eye to this and continued to look at Gary fiercely.
"Hand over Jirachi to me!"
For this kind of self-righteous person, Gary usually raised his index finger and said NO to him.
"Since you don't want to cooperate, don't blame me for being rude."
Seeing Gary reject him and remain calm, Butler decided to fight.
"Dusknoir, use Shadow Ball!"
The Dusknoir released by Butler obeyed the command immediately and fired a Shadow Ball at Gary.
However, before this Shadow Ball could hit Gary, it was blocked by the Shiny Metagross beside him without any damage.

Ability: Pressure
Gender: Male
Level: 53

Moves: Shadow Ball, Shadow Punch, Shadow Sneak, Night Shade, Dark Pulse, Confuse Ray, Focus Punch, Thunder Punch, Fire Punch, Will-O-Wisp...
"Butler, you are committing an even greater crime by ordering Pokémon to attack a trainer without permission!"
After reading Dusknoir's data, Gary remained calm.
"I have committed countless sins!"
Butler didn't take Gary's threat seriously at all.
"Oh, then I can deal with you with peace of mind."
Since Butler had said so, Gary could completely let go.
"Metagross, use Stone Edge!"
With Gary's order, sharp stones suddenly appeared around the Shiny Metagross. After aiming at Dusknoir, these stones rushed towards it like a thousand arrows fired at once.
"Phantom Force!"
Facing the overwhelming Stone Edge attack, although Butler was a little crazy, he wasn't stupid and chose to avoid it.
Before Dusknoir attacked, it disappeared into the ground, vanishing from the field.
"Phantom Force?"
Gary understood the effect of this move, so he immediately used his powers to locate Dusknoir before it attacked.
After searching carefully, Gary found Dusknoir's position.
At this time, Dusknoir appeared behind the Shiny Metagross.
"Metagross, use Thunder Punch!"
Just as Dusknoir was about to attack, one of Metagross's limbs was wrapped in golden electricity as it swung behind it.
The timing was perfect. The moment Dusknoir appeared, Metagross's Thunder Punch hit it.
The powerful impact of the Thunder Punch immediately knocked Dusknoir away.
"Flash Cannon!"
After seeing Dusknoir being knocked away, Gary seized the opportunity and ordered Metagross to attack.
After quickly gathering energy, Metagross used Flash Cannon on Dusknoir.
The white energy beam crossed the space and hit Dusknoir, who had just stood up.
Under the continuous blows, Butler's Dusknoir lost its fighting energy and fell.
"Damn it! How could it be?"
Butler couldn't believe that Gary defeated his Dusknoir so easily.
"Is this your strength?"
Looking at Dusknoir falling, Gary shrugged and said with a smile, "It seems a little lacking."
"You are too proud too early."
Facing Gary's ridicule, Butler remembered the taunts from Team Magma's executives which made his already stiff face even colder.
"Take them down! Salamence!"
In response to Gary's taunt, Butler sent out his main Pokémon—Salamence.
Pokémon: Salamence
Type: Dragon, Flying
Ability: Intimidate
Gender: Male
Level: 62
Qualification: King
Moves: Dragon Breath, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Tail, Dragon Claw, Flamethrower, Hyper Beam, Draco Meteor, Dragon Dance, Fire Blast, Hurricane, Outrage...
"Oh! I didn't expect you to have a Salamence; that's impressive!"
Gary was slightly surprised by the King-level Salamence sent by Butler. He didn't expect Butler—a researcher—to have such strength.
"It's a pity that this strength is not used in the right way."
Gary felt sorry for Butler who had the strength of a King-level trainer but was lost. With Butler's strength and ability he could easily secure a position as a researcher or gym trainer.
"I will never give up my dream."
Butler didn't care about Gary's pity at all. He was completely obsessed with reviving Groudon.
"Butler!"
Seeing Butler so consumed by his ambition made Diane completely disappointed in him.
"Salamence! Use Dragon Pulse!"
After receiving Butler's order; Salamence opened its mouth gathering powerful dragon energy which formed a beam of light rushing towards Metagross.
"Use Agility!"
Faced with this Dragon Pulse; Metagross used Agility and disappeared instantly causing Salamence's attack to miss.
In the next moment; Metagross—now in an electromagnetic floating state—appeared behind Salamence.
"Metagross! Use Bullet Punch!"
After receiving Gary's order; Metagross's forelimbs were wrapped in white light as its fists hit Salamence quickly and continuously.
Facing Metagross's relentless attacks; Salamence was unable to resist and could only endure the hits.
With the last punch; Salamence was knocked to the ground stirring up a cloud of dust that enveloped it making it difficult to see its condition.
