Chapter 290: Smiling in Despair for the Sake of Hope

In the ruins of the city, a disheveled woman hurriedly fled in the pouring rain, her figure constantly flickering and teleporting, trying her best to escape from all battlefields and find a quiet place where she wouldn't be disturbed.
"You really are in a pitiful state, Noma."
A familiar voice sounded, and a young man, Perseus, stood tall and looked down at Noma from above the ruins.
"Perseus..."
Norma gritted her teeth and uttered the name of the youth, and the figure of the psychic Meowth appeared beside her.
The psychic powers flowed, and the stones on the ground suddenly levitated and shot towards Perseus.
"Roar!"
Super BoShe KeDuoLa let out a roar, and the shockwave of the sound directly turned the stones into dust in the air.
Norma covered her head, feeling a constant stabbing pain in her temple.
Although her superpower was stronger than most superhumans, humans still have their limits.
She couldn't compare to Perseus, who made better use of future technology.
"Hahaha, it seems I've never trusted the technology provided by the Galaxy and, in the end, I fell for it."
Noerma laughed bitterly and resentfully.
Percy did not comment. He knew Noerma had intentionally destroyed most of the technological devices, leaving only the minimum necessary equipment to enhance her superpowers, as she had been wary of Mr. Sang and others' surveillance.
Now it is time for her to suffer the consequences of her actions.
"So, are you ready to embrace the end of your life?"
Perseus was expressionless, and Pegasus stomped heavily on the ground, exhaling a gust of hot air from its nostrils.
"Don't imitate my way of speaking!"
Norma screamed almost hysterically, Perseus retaliated with the exact words he had said to her when she was chasing him, which made her incredibly angry.
"Do you think you can stop me?"
A blue light appeared on Meowstic’s body as Psyshock surged, materializing into a psychic lance aimed at Mega Slowbro.
The original Alakazam was no match for Meowstic's psychic powers.
But now, after mega evolution, it is completely transformed.
Mega Alakazam doesn't flinch or dodge. It takes the psychic javelin head-on with its own body, emitting a cold snort without even a slightest sway in its massive frame.
After mega evolution, Mewtwo gains a divine-level physique and battle prowess, coupled with its natural resistance to Psychic-type attacks. Therefore, Meowstic's hasty and abrupt attacks would have little effect.
"Super Boss Kagdora, using heavy bombardment!"
A sonic boom, the air is compressed and explodes with the enormous body, and Super Boss Kagdora's heavy body appears in front of Super Power Meow in the blink of an eye.
"Use psychic power!"
The extraordinary Meowth exerted all its effort, reinforcing its psychic power through the metal helmet on its head, creating a powerful psychic net.
Once able to be blocked with a simple finger tap, now it tore through all obstacles without hesitation, sending the extraordinary Meowth flying away.
Miraculous Meowstic is like a tattered rag doll, gliding through the air in a parabolic arc and landing in the dust.
"It's not over yet, use Metal Sound!"
Mega Aggron continued its pursuit, its metal bodies grinding against each other, creating an ear-piercing noise.
The sound waves fell on the super power barrier of the superpowerful Meowth, causing ripples.
Seemingly just ordinary ripples, but when the metal sound stopped, a layer of the superpower barrier of the superpowerful Meowth was shaved off.
"Cannon light!"
A beam of white light appeared in the darkness, dispelling the surrounding darkness. The steel energy converged at one point, transforming into a scorching beam of light.
Before Psychic Meowth could regain stability and create a defense using its psychic powers, it could only hurriedly dodge the successive attacks.
However, Perseus never intended to defeat Meowth solely with this move.
Beams swept across, causing collapsed buildings to melt into scalding magma.
Although Meowth managed to protect its vital areas and barely escaped the attack, its metal helmet was partially shaved off.
The metal helmet has been damaged and the superpowers can no longer be enhanced.
Currently, the super Meowth has completely lost its power as a legendary fighter.
"Repent, I won't kill you."
Perseus smiled.
He was not Norma and he did not take pleasure in massacring and toying with opponents.
He would keep his word that as long as Norma surrendered, he would not kill her. Instead, he would hand her over to the rulers of this era and let the people of this era judge her according to the rules of this era.
"Confession? Not killing me? Hahaha......"
In the face of such desperate situation, Noerma still burst into a mad laughter.
Then, in an instant, all the laughter vanished, and her expression became incredibly twisted.
"Mighty Meowth, use Dark Gaze!"
With a malevolent stare fixated on Super Bosh Ketra, Super Bosh Ketra felt a chill run down its spine, a sense of impending danger that prevented it from shifting its focus away from Mighty Meowth.
Noerma's face showed a sarcastic smile, and her figure instantly disappeared.
Perseus was stunned. He didn't expect Noerma to abandon the superpowerful Meowth and escape on her own.
The move "Black Gaze" has the effect of preventing the opponent's Pokémon from escaping.
Unexpectedly, in Noroma's hands, it has transformed into the move "Psychic Meowth," which locks the opponent and creates an opportunity to escape for itself.
Gǔ qín & LT; /spangt; Chāo néng miào miāo yě míng bái le, zì jǐ bèi zhǔ rén bāo qì le.
Yǎn lèi cóng yǎn kōng zhōng bù duàn de luò xià, fā chū le chǔ chǔ kě lián de jiào shēng.
Despite this, it still maintains its black gaze move.
At the same time, it mobilizes its whole body's psychic powers and launches an attack towards Hypno.
"Even someone like her, Pokémon still firmly carry out orders... What does she really think of Pokémon?"
Percy's heart was filled with anger.
In the past, he had encountered situations where one person had to sacrifice themselves to create an opportunity for others to escape.
However, in those situations, most trainers would choose to face it together with their Pokémon.
Even in the eyes of future trainers, Pokemon will never exhibit actions like Nohrma.
"Mega Lucario, use Iron Tail!"
A furious strike sends Meowstic flying.
The body fell to the ground easily and finally lost consciousness.
Perseus didn't bother with the super-powered Meowth anymore and continued chasing after Norrma with his super-powered Persian.
As long as Norrma still carries the Wishing Star, her location is fully visible.
Once she discards the Wishing Star, she will be trapped in this era, and getting caught is only a matter of time.
In the middle of the ruins of the city, the figure of a woman dressed in luxurious attire suddenly appears. The expensive gown is tattered, revealing her fair skin underneath.
But she has no time to think about these things as she kneels on the ground, clutching her head, and constantly retching.
Never-ending teleportation, pushing her brain to the limit.
But it doesn't matter...just one more step, just one more step and she'll finally be safe.
As long as she returns to that day she's been longing for, no one will ever find her again.
Perseus used the remaining energy of the mechanical armor to teleport once, but now he can no longer continue to move without the support of the wishing star's energy.
Now is the time to escape!
Norma held up the Wishing Star, and red energy spread out in all directions, gradually forming a black and red storm.
Electric currents collided with the storm in the air, and one after another, temporal rifts flickered in the air.
The rift in space and time grew bigger and eventually stabilized into a passage that one person could pass through.
Facing the rift in space and time and noticing Perseus approaching from behind, Norma smiled.
"You were always a step too slow."
On the other side of the spacetime rift, the sky is covered in red clouds and the ground is dried up.
A young girl with a striking resemblance to Norma, but appearing much younger, floats between heaven and earth.
"My lady!"
Noellma smiled and sweetly exclaimed.
Perseus stopped in his tracks, and the super robot Polastodorah was on high alert.
On the other side of this space-time channel is the person known as the "Witch," who has reached some kind of agreement with the leader of the Pioneer Organization called "Galaxy" after the apocalypse.
Perseus thought it was just a myth, but it turned out to be real.
And he never expected that Nolma, who he thought was a witch's subordinate, would refer to that young girl as her "mother".
The witch cast a cold glance at Noma, her eyes filled with indifference, but a faint smile emerged.
Noma's heart was filled with hope, now even the king of heaven couldn't stop her from escaping.
The witch smiled, and from the shadow behind her emerged a Pokémon that looked like a walking white cat.
Whether it's the Pokédex of this era or future records, there is no information about this Pokémon.
The witch remained silent, only smiling.
An incomprehensible supernatural power crossed the chaotic time rift, distorting space and time.
The time rift created by the wish star, which claims to have "infinite energy," vanished under this supernatural power, as if it had never appeared.
Norma's expression froze, and her smile remained plastered on her face.
Meanwhile, behind her, Perseus, although still confused, had no intention of giving Norma another chance to escape.
Super Borscht opens its mouth wide, and hot energy condenses in its mouth.
"Super Meowth!"
Noelma screams as the slightly injured Super Meowth instantly teleports next to her.
"Miao! Protect me with your psychic powers!"
Hesitating for a moment at the trainer's screaming command, Meowstic ultimately failed to harness even a single trace of psychic abilities.
Turning its head, it no longer looked at its former trainer.
After all, I was just abandoned by my trainer.
Norma's face still had a smile on it as she opened her arms towards the scorching beam of light.
"The moment when all hope shatters... So this is the deepest despair. How wonderful!"
With an intoxicated smile, welcoming the scorching cannon light.
In the piercing white light that traverses the heavens and earth, completely turned into ashes.
