Dawn of Pokémon

[-]:[-] p.m.

After passing through the corridor, Xiao Ye and the other four stepped into the east area of ​​the underground research institute.

The ground is supposed to be cooler than the surface, but the further east you go, the hotter the surrounding air becomes.The significantly rising room temperature made everyone want to take off their coats - unfortunately, the executive uniforms have certain defensive functions and cannot be treated as ordinary clothing, let alone discarded.

"That person seems to be gone?" Xiaojie looked into the distance and no longer saw a familiar black figure.

"It disappeared shortly after we entered the research room." Xiao Ye added.

Naturally, they were referring to the unknown person who had brought everyone to Research Room 108 intentionally or unintentionally.This underground building is very large. If it weren't for that person's guidance, it would have taken a lot of effort to avoid all the patrols and monitoring equipment to get here.

"It doesn't matter, there is no need to lead the way." Still walking at the front as the leader, feeling the feedback from the power of the waveguide, Xiaoye turned around with a smile.

"This is the only road ahead."

The long and narrow corridor connects large and small utility rooms and machine rooms, and at the end is a huge room - which is also the place with the strongest fire energy.

After confirming that no one was around, the four of them quickened their pace and soon saw the red door at the end.

No detection is needed, the sweaty temperature has already reflected the degree of energy accumulation.This directly resulted in Xiaoye still being able to barely perceive the width of the room, but unable to detect the specific situation in it in detail.Waveguides and flames are both energy, and they will inevitably interfere with each other and cancel each other out. Perhaps a real waveguide user has detection methods that can avoid interference from other energies, but at least Xiaoye, the "wild waveguide user", knows nothing about this.

He had no idea how many people, how many Pokémon, or what kind of weapons were in the room.But they can't let that deter them.

Such a concentration of blazing fire energy can only explain one problem——

This is the venue for the artificial Phoenix King plan and their ultimate goal.

"Let's go, stop them."

Xiaotian briefly reiterated the ultimate goal of this operation and took two steps forward.

He wanted to test the thickness of the door, but before his hand touched the red metal plate, the door had opened silently and slid to both sides.

With the previous experience of almost being shot through by a laser from inside the door, the four of them tensed up their nerves almost immediately.Even so, when the door was fully opened, the scene inside still made these young people slightly dazed.

The first thing that hit me was the heat wave.Then, the red light spread.

This is an incredible room.The walls, the ceiling, everything is emitting a scorching flame-colored light——

No, that's not the case if you look closely.

It is lava that allows light to penetrate through the transparent glass into the room.

The surging magma gathered into a lake, reflecting the rocks in the cave red.This room with walls and ceiling made of glass is located next to the magma lake and is surrounded by boiling liquid.

The transparent enclosure looks extremely fragile, as if it could be melted by the heat at any time, which is frightening.

Opposite the room, there is a corridor extending far away, pointing directly to the center of the magma lake.The end of the corridor was completely hidden in the light - the huge fireball suspended in the center of the magma lake was like the sun, contracting, expanding, contracting, and expanding again, beating like a heart, releasing terrifying air waves, causing the searing heat to rise. The magma is no longer dazzling.

Countless metal machines shaped like rocket launchers are placed around the magma lake. The barrel of the "bazooka" is aimed at the center of the magma lake, emitting a steady stream of fluctuating but straight golden light.And when dozens of rays of light are gathered together, the brightness is far less than one-tenth of the fireball itself.

It was rare to see such a wonderful sight, but the four people in the glass house did not pay any attention to it.

——No, it’s five people.

"Welcome to my world~"

The man crossed his arms in a weird and twisted posture, and his voice was hoarse but high-pitched.

The man, who was already over [-] years old, looked much older than his real age.A shabby white coat was draped over his body, and the filthy filth swallowed up the white.The thick lenses reflected the red light from the console in front of him, making him look even more ferocious.

He looked down at the four men who had entered his domain.Not because of the height advantage - he was suspended in the air.

The heavy console and its user were suspended in the center of the room out of thin air, as strange as life outside the world.

"My name is Aperrokanti, the lord of the lava world." The suspended man stepped on the air under his feet excitedly, showing an ecstatic expression, "Ah, ah, finally... you guys, who are just animals, actually made me wait. After waiting for so long, I almost couldn’t help but come to you directly. Now, immediately! Let us come..."

The sound of explosions interrupted him.

The wings of the Bibi bird and the scimitar of the flying mantis hit the air at the same time, making a tooth-breaking sound.And then the spherical light curtain emerged - it was just a layer of light white that wrapped the person who called himself Aperrokanti without any blind spots, but its hardness could never be easily broken. The person who launched the attack Instead, Bibi Bird and Flying Mantis felt pain due to the force of the shock.

Aperrocanti's face suddenly darkened, but the flash of anger soon twisted into a more ferocious ecstasy.

"Okay, great, great -" He covered his face and twisted, his nails leaving blood marks on his face, and his loose eyelids were torn open and widened like a red traffic light.

"The crime of interrupting my lava lord speech is very, very, very big - but today I am granting amnesty to the world and acquitting everyone in the lava world! You, beasts - do you know why?"

"Today is the day when the lava world welcomes a new god!"

The madman looked up to the sky and spread his arms.The unabashed, overly intense mixture of ecstasy emanates from the tone and movement, making the red-filled room even more unsettling.

"As the lord, I dare to declare your will in advance on your behalf. I am sure you will not blame me for being so magnanimous." Aperokanti changed his high tone and spoke deeply to the huge fireball in the center of the magma lake like an oath. He bowed, but his expression was still unconcealable fanaticism.

The second attack has arrived.The twisted air proved its power - Casey launched its most powerful mental attack.

The spiritual power collided with the light curtain, once again lighting up the blurred light curtain.

The party being attacked remained as motionless as a rock.

"Violence? Oh, violence! I like violence the most. Violence makes me excited! Violence represents the majesty of God. Violence is the only means to maintain rule. Violence is the rule of the world and the treasure of the world. Violence is lava. The highest aesthetics in the world!!”

Aperrokanti spoke very fast and danced in the air.The light revealed in those blood-red eyes was so terrifying that the four people he looked down on shivered in the heat.

"This guy... is probably more difficult to deal with than Ishihara just now."

Xiaojie gritted his teeth and whispered.

Xiaojie's Casey is a very special Pokémon - although the trainer himself did not deliberately explain it, the characteristics of each Pokémon were fully revealed in team trainings.

Although Casey always seemed silent and without a sense of presence, his mental power was so strong that he didn't look like an unevolved baby.When it gets serious, the intensity of super-skills can even be more than three times that of Xiaoling's Yongjira.

The physical attacks of Bibi Bird and Flying Mantis are invalid, and neither are Casey's super attacks.Xiaojie couldn't calculate how powerful it would be to break this barrier.

Unable to help but look away from the madman who was talking nonsense in a high-spirited mood, Xiaoling once again clenched the Poké Ball in her hand.

This man is a lunatic - a chilling lunatic.

The same thought arose from the hearts of the four of them.

Aperokanti's soliloquy continued.He was already immersed in his emotions, and he didn't care whether his audience was listening to him or not - he just wanted to show his hot heart crazily and passionately.

When the madman's arm pointed at the fireball, the silver-haired boy secretly raised his hand and touched the goggles.

"As the father of gods, I make an exception and allow you to look directly at the gods in the lava world with your eyes." Apelokanti's voice trembled violently with excitement, "The beam of light deep in the heart of the gods is my most proud masterpiece - - That is a part of God, a fragment of God - yes, it is the tail feather of God sleeping in the flames. Thanks to God's generosity, I have the opportunity to create a God that belongs only to me. Thanks to the generosity of this island, the birthplace of the gods, what an honor it is to witness the birth of my beloved son..."

Apello Conti's narrative is fragmented and interspersed with strange and crazy phrases.Xiaotian stopped the flying mantis who was about to launch a second attack and carefully discerned every word the madman said.

Using the feathers of the Phoenix King accidentally obtained one day as the core and Honglian Island's underground magma lake as a backup energy source, the Rocket Team's scientific research team on Honglian Island, headed by Dr. Apero Conti, restored what the Phoenix King had spewed out. of flame.This achievement seemed to greatly encourage the team and Aperrokanti himself. Taking this as an opportunity, the artificial Phoenix King project began.

As the research continued, they used the genes extracted from the feathers to shape the body of the Phoenix King. However, the power possessed by the mythical beast was too great. An empty body could only barely maintain life reactions by artificial means and could not be awakened. The real mythical beasts are even more different.As a result, they began to try to infuse the Phoenix King's flame into their bodies. Xiaotian, who had no knowledge of the field of scientific research, could not understand the research process described by Apello Canti, but the most important information was very clear.

The energy in the magma lake is being continuously extracted and injected into the body of the artificial Phoenix King.When the energy is filled to a certain level, the bird sleeping in the huge flame sphere may really open its eyes.

A solar eclipse is the most silent moment for the fire element between heaven and earth, and also the moment with the fewest disturbing factors.Of course, April [-]th was chosen as the day when the final step of the plan was launched.

"See? What a beautiful, sacred, dangerous gesture—"

A large screen floating on the glass wall projected the hazy silhouettes of birds in the fireball.But what is more concerning than the outline of the suspected Phoenix King is the beating number in the lower right corner.

……

[00: 38: 02]

[00: 38: 01]

[00: 38: 00]

[00: 37: 59]

[00: 37: 58]

[00: 37: 57]

……

It was a countdown with an unknown end.

"There are 37 minutes left, it's coming soon! My God, my beloved Son, the moment my faith was born!"

The madman once again bowed respectfully to the figure in the flames.He could no longer suppress his emotions. His nails rubbed violently with the skin on his face, causing drops of bright red liquid to fall on the operating table.

At this time, Aperrokanti's face was covered with blood and his face was ferocious, like a ghost from another world.

Xiaotian took half a step back silently, conveying the message to his companions in a low and powerful voice.

"This is an instruction from Investigator Shenyu."

"The Phoenix King's feathers are the key. Before the countdown ends, no matter what method is used, the process of the Phoenix King's birth must be stopped. If possible, take back the Phoenix King's feathers."

"No matter what."

At the same time as the voice of the silver-haired temporary captain, Aperrokanti's cheers changed.

"Then, let's get started."

"The ceremony of presenting four animals and four sacrifices to the gods, the most solemn ceremony on this sacred birthday——"
