Dawn of Pokémon

??

"That's it." Everyone gathered around the computer looked astonished.

This hotel was newly built in recent years. When it opened, it was featured in a magazine and was somewhat famous. Its floor plan can be easily found online.According to the picture, the hotel has five floors above ground, and the kitchen on the top floor has a freight elevator that leads directly to the underground warehouse.The underground warehouse is only separated from the parking lot of the shopping mall next door by a wall. Once you reach the warehouse, you should be able to return to the ground through the parking lot.

The stairs leading to the underground warehouse were located on the first floor and are now inaccessible.If you want to go underground, you can only pass through the patio of the freight elevator.

"Okay, at least this way there is a method worth trying!" Xiaoling raised a thumbs up in praise to Shaxi, "Thank you for checking these things beforehand, good job!"

After the airtight metal plates and automatic defense devices blocked the entire hotel, the network signal was naturally cut off. Not only was it impossible to access the Internet, but it was also impossible to make calls.Fortunately, Shashi was browsing the relevant information about this hotel before all this happened, and before he had time to close the web page, it came in handy at this time.

The girl with short black hair blushed slightly at the compliment and quickly added, "But, it might be dangerous."

"Yes, since the demolition criminals chose this hotel to trap us, they must have a better understanding of the entire building than we do. Maybe there are some obstacles set up in the freight elevator patio." Tongye took over the words and said very He talked like a senior, as if he wasn't the one who was frightened by the will-o'-the-wisp just now, "But there is no other way at the moment. I can only be careful and give it a try for the time being."

Everyone did not hesitate too much and quickly agreed to the plan - just a minute ago, they heard another violent explosion from outside the hotel. Now they don't know what the chaos is outside, and there is no time to continue here. Delayed.

On the way to the fifth floor, everyone encountered two more attacks from supersonic bat swarms. They almost suspected that the demolition criminals had turned the hotel into a bat nest.Fortunately, there was a professional in the team who could release the hypnotic debuff and easily created two more bat carpets, saving the effort of being involved in the brawl.

Arriving at the freight elevator in the top-floor kitchen, Xiaotian, who was running at the front, tried to press the button. Sure enough, there was no response. It seemed that the entire hotel's power system had indeed been cut off - except for those who were as stubborn as Kentero. Automatic defense device.When Xiaojie saw this, he immediately threw the elf ball, "Casey, have a strong mind."

Casey's hands pointed to the freight elevator door, and Yinglan's mental power attached to the door, tearing it apart to both sides, revealing the dark freight elevator shaft.

"The elevator should be at the bottom." Xiaojie looked down and said.

Since the detection technique failed, everyone could only use their naked eyes to judge whether there was danger below.However, the bottom of the freight elevator shaft could not be seen at all just by the flame illumination at the tip of the fire-breathing dragon's tail. Xiaoye's Ghost Stone tried throwing a few will-o'-the-wisps down, but nothing unusual was revealed.

In other words, everything became abnormal when it was illuminated by the blue will-o'-the-wisp.

Xiaotian stood by the freight elevator and thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "Does everyone have ropes?"

Rope is always indispensable among the traveling trainer's belongings. Someone's backpack was placed on the first floor and he didn't have time to get it, so he quickly borrowed a long rope from the cave from the person next to him.Xiaoling played with the extremely strong rope that was invulnerable to water and fire, and couldn't help but sigh, thinking that it would be great if these so-called escape ropes could allow people to teleport out of the hole like in the game.

Although the boys and girls present are young, they are all independent trainers with rich travel experience. There is no need to say what they should do next. They all quickly used the mountain climbing operations, first knotting the rope at the waist. , and then fix the other end outside the elevator to make a simple safety rope.Some people wanted to try to use the power of the flying Pokémon to get down, but the cargo elevator's patio was only about two meters wide and couldn't be used at all, so in the end they had to give up.

Xiaotian tied up the safety rope first and was the first to go down to the patio.The other seven people followed closely, holding on to the rope and descending slowly.Xiao Ye, who was second in line, couldn't help but look up, thinking how Bai Lan could perform such a difficult action in that restrained kimono.

Bai Lan didn't think about it, and she didn't know how she did it. She climbed down the rope easily, as if she was wearing sportswear from a friendly store instead of a monsuke haori hakama.Seeing Xiaoye looking over, the golden-eyed boy tilted his head, expressionlessly but vividly casting a question mark over his face. Xiaoye quickly looked away, no longer admiring his miraculous ability to jump freely in a kimono.

The burly Charizard was unable to enter such a narrow patio, and had already been taken back into the elf ball by Xiaotian.The one who took over the lighting job was Ghost Stone. It had no complaints about this and happily spit out a series of will-o'-the-wisps. The brightness was not great, but the color saturation was quite sufficient. It illuminated everyone's faces as if they were blue. Damn it.

Xiaoye, who is not a coordinator and has never practiced the beautiful effects of moves, can do nothing about it. She can only pray silently that Kiriha-senpai behind her will not be so frightened that her legs will weaken and fall from the fifth floor.

Everyone walked quietly in the freight elevator shaft, and for a while there was only the rustling sound of clothes and ropes rubbing against each other.Everyone was extremely vigilant, but the scene of a group of bats swooping up like before did not happen again, and the eight people descended to about the third floor without incident.

Xiaotian, who was leading the charge, was moving downwards little by little, and his eyes suddenly glanced at what seemed to be a lightbulb mounted on the wall at his feet, which was blurry in the dim light.Before he could pay closer attention, blood-red light tore through the darkness.

When the huge siren sounded without warning, the top Tongye almost fell out of shock.At the same time, everyone saw that four or five lights seemed to light up on the wall next to them.

"...Bomb!" Xiaojie's face changed drastically.

The flashing red numbers on the screen illuminated the appearance of the luminous object. This was the second time Xiaoye and his party had seen it recently - it was exactly the same bomb as the one in the abandoned subway station.

If this is really the kind of bomb used in the Miyuan bombing, wouldn't the entire hotel be razed to the ground, let alone them being so close?

The alarm and the bomb's activation switch are connected to each other, and a series of chain reactions far exceeds the speed of superhuman thinking.Xiaojie, who was standing next to a bomb, was shivering all over, and his eyes widened instinctively. The bomb with red light in his sight exploded bit by bit like a slowed-down documentary, and the firelight solidified in the air...

Huh?

After being stunned for two seconds, the blond boy suddenly realized that this was not some pre-death hallucination.Not only this bomb, but all five bombs placed in the cargo elevator shaft were frozen in the state of the first appearance of the fire, as if time had frozen, which was extremely strange.

At this time, the dense light spots spread out silently without knowing when, and the dark shaft was dimly illuminated. At first glance, it looked as beautiful as the endless night sky.Xiaoye suddenly understood something, raised her head suddenly, and looked into the young man's shining golden eyes.

Standing in the middle of a sea of ​​countless light spots, his white clothes seemed to be shining brightly, and the bright debris of the stars was swimming in the air spiritually, forming a Milky Way flowing in the universe.

One word came to everyone's mind at the same time.

Real illusion.

As we all know, the former chief investigator Xingyu Baiye possesses a very special ability called true illusion.Although it is called an illusion, it is completely different from the illusions based on the five senses of illusion-type superpowers - when Bai Ye opens a real illusion, the area covered by the force field will become the "domain" of the caster, and the area can be controlled The objects inside float, move, twist and deform, produce thousands of changes out of thin air, and can even interfere with time and space to a certain extent.It's like projecting the incredible world of illusion into reality, which is why it got the name "Real Illusion".

Many people have seen Xingyu Baiye using this ability to accelerate or slow down the opponent's movements in ancient videos. So of course, "slowing down a certain physical process", such as "bomb explosion", can also be done. .

When Bai Lan displayed this ability, his identity, which he had never answered directly, was exposed.But no one would consider this issue at this moment - real illusion is a very physically demanding ability. Bai Lan cannot suppress the explosion of the bomb forever. After he is exhausted, the postponed disaster will still come.

Xiaotian's mind was racing, and he already had a countermeasure in his mind.There was no time to explain more now. He just raised his head and said, "Bai Lan, give me 20 seconds!"

The expression of the young man in white remained unchanged, and the light seeping out of his golden eyes reflected his solemn expression.

"Okay." He replied simply.

After the words fell, white light radiated from the elf ball in Xiaotian's hand.The flying mantis came out in response, and Xiaotian let go of the rope in his hand, lay on its back, and dived down quickly.Xiaoling, who was so anxious that she stretched her neck and looked down, vaguely seemed to see another figure flashing past and falling together with Xiaotian.

At this point, Xiaotian can't even think about whether there are more traps.Under his instructions, the Flying Mantis went straight down, and the shining white scimitar cut hard on the top of the elevator car, causing countless sparks to burst out.

As long as they quickly penetrate the roof of the elevator car, they can immediately rush into the warehouse and avoid the direct impact of the explosion.The flying mantis's attack power lived up to expectations. The wind-like blade pierced the metal in three or two strokes, causing the roof of the car to shake.

At this moment, Xiaotian heard a creepy hissing sound coming from behind.

Only then did he realize that there was a Pokémon lurking under the cargo elevator patio.But it was too late, the serpent's fangs were about to fall on his shoulders.

The next second, with a loud "bang" and strong winds, the Arbor snake was slapped to the ground by an unknown attacker.

The silver-haired boy opened his eyes wide.He realized that Xiaoye actually jumped down with bare hands and without any defensive measures. The momentum of the free fall completely fell on Arbo Snake, smashing it until it rolled its eyes.

Arbor snakes are not the only sneak attackers hiding in the dark.Lada, who had been huddled in the corner, also pounced out, but when he was about to pounce, he was knocked out of his body by the dark halo above his head.Ghost Stone, who likes to live in the shadows, will not be affected by the darkness at all. Every movement of Lada and Arbor Snake can be clearly seen by it.After aiming at the target, the wave of evil narrowed the energy ring to the narrowest point, completing a precise sniper attack without giving Rada any chance to attack the trainer.

On the other side, the shaved Arbor snake waved its tail and tried to swing it out, but the purple-haired spoiler caught the tail tip with lightning speed.The crystal blue light flickered, and Xiao Ye kicked the Arbo snake into the air. However, the Arbo snake bounced back very quickly and bit down viciously with its sharp fangs.The taste of blood spread in the mouth, causing Abai Snake's eyes to turn red, and its attack became more ferocious.

In the chaos, Xiaotian could only see the figure protecting him suddenly running out.The blue-gleaming hand clamped the Arbor Snake's throat like an iron pincer, and the other hand tightly bound its tail. The Arbor Snake was completely thrown away and hit the roof of the car heavily.

The lightning-like exchange only lasted a few seconds.The flying mantis completely cut off the edge of the car's roof, and the Arbor snake's impact completely shattered the roof, causing one person and one snake to fall into the car.

Xiaotian was so surprised that he immediately jumped down.Unfortunately, the Ghost Stone above fired a wave of evil at this time, which collided with Lada's destructive light.The strong impact caused the Flying Mantis, who had just finished the cutting work, to stumble, not to mention Xiaotian, who slipped and fell from the roof of the car.

He originally thought that he would fall into a ball with the dizzy Arbo snake below, but in the darkness, a pair of hands accurately caught him.

The dark car couldn't even let in the light of the will-o'-the-wisps, so it stands to reason that they couldn't see each other's condition at all.But the man caught it as if he had expected it. He held his back with one hand and his knees with the other, and the momentum of falling from a height of three meters was firmly absorbed.

Even Xiaotian, who had always been calm, was stunned.There was darkness all around, and he couldn't even see clearly the face of the person who caught him. He could only vaguely catch a glimpse of the eyes reflecting the bits of light brought by the illusion force field in the sky, reflecting a galaxy in the universe, still the calmness he was familiar with. light purple.

The white light on the car roof lit up again.Xiaotian suddenly realized something. When his hands put him down carefully, he took him to the corner near the elevator door.The rising white light also climbed to the top, and the angry flying mantis whirled and danced with its sharp blade. The dangerous whirlwind of sword light and sword shadow penetrated up and down. The Arbo snake, which had just been stepped on by the two people, received another blow and fainted without a word.Lada was not spared either. He was shot out of the air and stuck to the wall, turning into a rat cake.

Through the light of the sword dance, Xiaotian saw Xiaoye making a gesture to him.He nodded knowingly, quickly retrieved the flying mantis, raised his head and shouted upwards, "Jump down!"

At the same time, Xiao Ye kicked the car door hard.Crystal blue light flashed, the flimsy door flew out across the air, and the narrow space suddenly opened.
