Chapter 78 78: The Arrogant Jarvis
But… this didn't make sense.
If mere technology could control Pokémon, then why didn't it work on Volcanion, Pikachu, and the others?
Sora suspected that Jarvis had done something to these Pokémon internally—
Like implanting chips.
"Found it!"
After a thorough inspection, Kimia really did discover a small device inside Glalie—something like a miniature electric shock unit.
It was this thing that continuously inflicted pain whenever Jarvis gave an order.
Under such intense pain—
How could a Pokémon resist?
They could only be broken down—
Turned into obedient slaves—
At Jarvis's mercy.
In the original events, when Jarvis's staff was destroyed, the Pokémon regained consciousness and immediately fled from him in fear.
That alone showed what kind of figure Jarvis was in their eyes.
"This is unforgivable… doing something like this…"
Kimia couldn't accept it.
Harming innocent Pokémon like this—
Was completely against everything a trainer stood for.
Without question—
Jarvis had crossed her bottom line.
And with this evidence—
As long as she submitted it to the Pokémon League—
Officer Jenny and the authorities could arrest him immediately.
At the same time, once the truth came out—
Her brother, Raleigh, would surely wake up and realize his mistake.
"Ghh…"
Glalie shook its head, as if regaining clarity.
Its eyes became much clearer than before.
Its cry even carried gratitude toward Sora.
Even while controlled—
Pokémon were fully aware of what was happening around them.
"There are more."
Sora unlocked the Poké Balls and released the remaining Pokémon one by one.
Kimia truly lived up to her reputation as a mechanical genius.
She quickly located the control devices inside each Pokémon and destroyed them.
Alakazam, Glalie, Steelix, Banette, Houndoom, Beedrill, Pidgeot, Swampert, Camerupt, Sableye, Sharpedo, Pinsir, Heracross, Lairon.
Fourteen Pokémon in total—
All fully evolved, battle-ready species.
They expressed sincere gratitude to Sora—
And showed no resistance toward Kimia, who had helped free them.
Princess Kimia…
Was a good person.
That much, they all understood.
"I'm sorry…"
Kimia lowered her head, her eyes filled with guilt.
"I was with you all this time… and I didn't notice your suffering…"
"I'm so, so sorry."
She bowed deeply to them.
The Pokémon didn't blame her.
Instead, they comforted her.
Seeing this, Sora felt even more certain.
"Pokémon really are such kind and pure creatures."
And because of that—
As a human trainer—
It was his responsibility to protect that purity.
"Jarvis must pay for what he's done!"
For once, Kimia showed the decisiveness of a royal.
She immediately prepared to return to the Azoth capital and expose him.
"Wait, wait."
Sora stopped her.
"Before that, let's deal with them first."
These fourteen Pokémon weren't weak.
Their average level was above 40.
That might not sound impressive—
But among ordinary trainers, that was already a strong lineup.
Sora hoped Kimia could take them in.
"No problem!"
"This is my responsibility."
The Azoth royal family was incredibly wealthy.
Supporting these Pokémon—
Even ten times or a hundred times more—
Was nothing to them.
After all, their advanced technology and scientific expertise gave them a strong standing within the Kalos League.
Every year, the League placed massive orders with them.
"Dududududu—!"
Just as they were discussing arrangements—
A loud rumble came from afar.
Sora looked up.
A massive airship was approaching.
"That's him!"
Kimia immediately recognized it—
Jarvis's vessel.
On the ship, Doka and Yisha stood with their heads lowered, not daring to meet Jarvis's dark expression.
"Not only did you lose…"
"You even lost the Pokémon I entrusted to you."
"It seems you've forgotten what it means to be a trainer after staying here too long."
Jarvis was furious.
He didn't care about their safety—
But those Pokémon were valuable assets.
Don't underestimate level 40.
If all fourteen Mega Evolved—
Their combined strength could rival a level-50 overlord.
And now—
That entire force was gone.
Jarvis had nearly exploded with rage when he heard.
"Princess Kimia… it seems I underestimated you."
He didn't know about Sora—
Assuming she had hired outside help.
As for that powerful Ursaluna—
He thought it was just a sneak attack while his men were careless.
Nothing worth mentioning.
"Filthy humans!"
Volcanion instinctively scoffed upon seeing the ship—
Then suddenly realized…
It was now technically a human's Pokémon.
"…Ah, it's fine."
Sora waved it off with a smile.
"Say whatever you like. No need to change how you talk."
Humans were complicated.
The damage they caused to nature—
To Pokémon—
Even Sora himself sometimes mocked it.
Above them, the airship hovered.
Jarvis stepped out onto the platform, looking down arrogantly at the humans and Pokémon below.
"Princess Kimia."
"I admit… I underestimated you."
Kimia didn't quite understand what he meant.
But looking at the freed Pokémon around her—
It seemed his assumption wasn't entirely wrong.
"Jarvis, your scheme has been exposed!"
"I will inform the League immediately!"
"Prepare yourself for imprisonment!"
Kimia was still too kind.
She couldn't bring herself to speak of harsher punishment—
Only using the League as a warning.
"Pfft—HAHAHAHA!"
Jarvis burst into laughter.
To him—
She was laughably naïve.
The League?
He feared the League?
On the surface, it seemed powerful—
But in reality, it couldn't control a vast, sparsely populated region like Kalos.
Once he obtained Magearna—
And activated the airborne fortress—
The League?
Nothing more than fragile rubble—
Ready to be crushed at any moment.
