Pokémon: The Road to the Champion of Full-Level Players

On one side of the spacious mountain path, rays of sunlight penetrated the gaps between the leaves and fell to the ground, like a golden road leading to the sky.

Somewhere along the tree-lined path, under the dense branches and leaves, there was a figure wearing a black cloak, with his head lowered, standing on the roadside.

The brilliant beam of light did not illuminate the darkness of this tall figure, but passed through his body and spread across the ground, as if that person did not exist in this space at all.

This man was leaning against the tree so casually, his straight cloak was pressed down, showing less obvious wrinkles, like a gently rippling lake hanging down in the gap between him and the trees.

His hands were folded across his chest, and he seemed to be holding something in his arms, but he was as quiet as an emotionless machine, without any movement.

Time passed between the cracks of light and shadow, and the figure still did not move, as if it was asleep. If it weren't for the faint sound of heartbeat, otherwise it would be like a statue that no one can detect, mysterious and a bit strange. .

I don’t know how much time passed before the sound of brisk footsteps and happy humming came from the distance.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah~..."

"Ibu Yi~Bu Yi~"

This sound made people feel relaxed physically and mentally, causing the figure wearing a black cloak and a hood to react slightly.

One side of the black hood became twisted, and he obviously turned his head inside the hood and cast his gaze into the distance.

In his arms, a Pikachu showed its bright eyes from the gap. It also looked at the sound, its eyes ranging from surprise to complexity.

Looking deeply at the girl in the distance, Fang Yuxuan's eyes were glazed over, looking at her slightly in trance.

At this time, Qiqi had stopped in place, looking back not far away, as if waiting for something.

Quickly coming back to his senses, Fang Yuxuan, who was already an invisible "mysterious man", looked at Qiqi's back helplessly, his lips moved, but for some reason, he couldn't make any sound.

He was a little afraid to see what was waiting for Qiqi next.

If the guy hiding in the secret just took Qiqi away by force, it would be acceptable. After all, it was a fact. But what really worried him was what he didn't want to see, just like in Nibi. The people codenamed 006, 008 and others encountered on the outskirts of the city behaved like this, or they directly killed...

Thinking of this, he clenched his fists and thought about whether he should take action in the next crisis.

Watching Qiqi being taken away was hard for him to accept. However, Qiqi in his timeline has been taken away. He needs to know the other party's goal and where they will take Qiqi. .

While he was fighting between heaven and man, Qiqi had already waited for Dazhi to catch up, and then they continued walking forward, passing him without any communication.

Looking at Qiqi's profile as she passed him, Fang Yuxuan raised his head and moved his lips again, wanting to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Her beautiful back and smart, slightly curly yellow ponytails were reflected in his eyes, but they were getting smaller and blurry, as if they would never appear in front of his eyes again from now on.

Qiqi walked a certain distance as usual, and then her brisk steps slowly stopped. She turned around halfway, not looking at Dazhi, but looking in the direction of Fang Yuxuan.

Her eyes moved slightly, as if searching for something, but there was nothing.

Dazhi, who was following her, originally thought she was looking at him, but it wasn't until he noticed her gaze that he realized that he was being too sentimental.

"What's wrong?" He subconsciously followed Qiqi's gaze and looked behind him, but found nothing.

"Hmm~" Qiqi shook her head and tucked the hair that touched her mouth behind her ears, "I just felt like someone was watching me, hehe, maybe I'm too sensitive."

After laughing, she turned around and walked forward again.

Dazhi, who was carrying his luggage, glanced behind him a few more times with suspicion, making sure there was nothing unusual before continuing in the direction of Mount Tsukimi.

On the same spot, Fang Yuxuan stared at their departing figures and sighed deeply secretly.

Before he could react, suddenly, there was movement in the grass in the distance. There was a rustling sound, the blades were rubbing against each other, and the whole bunch of grass was swaying like a candle in the wind.

He set his sights there. Although there was not much movement there, he was already on guard and could naturally notice it at the first time.

Dazhi, who was also alert, did not dare to hesitate, and quickly called Qiqi in front of him, asking her to hide behind him, while he stared at the grass not far away, not daring to relax.

Vaguely, Fang Yuxuan and he both saw something vaguely flashing past. The speed was so fast that it was impossible to locate its location.

Da Zhi remained unchanged in response to all changes, until a black shadow appeared, then he released Bankilas, and with its Yangsha characteristics, a sandstorm surrounded him and Qiqi.

Fang Yuxuan had no objections to Dazhi's preventive measures. In his opinion, this was indeed a good approach, but because he already knew the results, he was not optimistic about the effects of the sandstorm.

After Bankilas repelled the figure that was suspected of being Alolalada, Dazhi observed for a long time, but still did not notice any movement. It seemed that Alolalada, who was hiding in the secret attack, had sensed the strength of his Bankilas. It is so strong that it creates fearful thoughts and does not dare to appear easily.

Although this is just his fantasy, it is still possible after all. Therefore, he was initially relieved and started talking to Qiqi.

At this moment, Fang Yuxuan became more and more vigilant, observing the surroundings on their behalf, and asking Pikachu and Celebi in his mind, including letting Pikachu replace him, using its ability to communicate silently with all Pokémon, asking "Geng." Ghost", what was discovered.

After feeling it carefully for a moment, they jointly informed Fang Yuxuan of the result, and their eyes were also focused on the ground at the same time.

At some point, a dark shadow appeared there.

The sun should have been obscured by the sand and dust, so the shadow would disappear, but that black shadow appeared so suddenly behind Qiqi.

A pair of slender claws stretched out towards Qiqi, as if they were the claws of a devil, trying to devour her.

Fang Yuxuan almost couldn't help but jump over and threw the elf ball to kill the black figure.

He clenched his fists and exerted force on his feet.

He had already thought about the initial plans and decisions. When he came to this timeline, he had already determined his ideas.

It was precisely because of this that he did not meet Qiqi and the others. He wanted to keep a distance from them in this timeline at all times and act as an indifferent spectator.

But when the crisis came behind Qiqi, Fang Yuxuan could deeply feel that he could not be as calm as he imagined, and could not watch Qiqi in despair with an expressionless face.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?

At this moment, Pikachu sent out a weak electric current to stimulate his nerves, indicating that he must calm down and stabilize his emotions.

Then, as if it anticipated what he would think in advance, it silently notified the invisible "Gengar" on the side to focus on tracking the black shadow.

Seeing that Pikachu had done what he wanted it to do in advance, Fang Yuxuan thanked him silently, tightened his clenched fists, and watched Qiqi being swallowed up by the black shadow.

He was almost numb. Witnessing this scene unfolding in front of him, he felt an inexplicable twitch in his heart. Although he knew that he was not from this timeline and it didn't matter whether he was saved or not, he still felt guilty. If Qiqi never came back, he might fall into a lifetime of self-blame.

Just when his heart was extremely complicated, Pikachu in his arms seemed to be listening to something, then looked up at him, and used spiritual communication to tell him to run quickly in one direction.

Without any doubt, Fang Yuxuan quickly adjusted his mentality and ran decisively in the direction it said, ignoring the ambition that was stagnant in place.

Holding Pikachu and Celebi tightly, he didn't dare to relax and ran as hard as he could, ignoring whether anyone would find him.

Pikachu listened to the direction Gengar was pointing, and kept telling him to change direction, and finally got into a deep forest.

Fang Yuxuan, wearing a black cloak, jumped up, jumped directly over the half-meter-high grass, and landed on a flat ground. During the process, he kept holding the hood with his hands so that it could not come off.

It wasn't until he landed smoothly and was in an invisible state that he noticed the situation in the distance.

Fragments of yellow and fallen leaves cover the ground, and sunlight cannot penetrate, as if this place is isolated from the world.

In the dark and hazy forest, it seemed as if bursts of black mist were filling the air, covering the entire forest. Fang Yuxuan, wearing a black cloak, stood here quietly, feeling like he could blend into one without having to do anything.

He subconsciously searched for the black shadow that took Qiqi away, and moved his eyes down to the ground, only to find that it was pitch black under his feet, making it impossible to tell where the black shadow was.

Lowering his head, his eyes moved downward again, from far to near, and glanced at Pikachu in his arms. The meaning of the question was self-evident.

Pikachu did not speak, but told him through spiritual communication that the Variety Monster that transformed into Gengar said that the guy was here and had not left. He just didn't know where the specific hiding place was, but he was sure that it would never happen. More than ten meters range.

After receiving such affirmation, Fang Yuxuan nodded invisibly, and then he looked around, carefully observing possible changes and the traces of the suspected Alola Rada.

In such a secluded place, there is no trace of any living creatures, let alone the bird Pokémon such as Pidgeot and Spearow that should originally live here or fly in the forest.

Fang Yuxuan looked around carefully and walked around in this quiet and scary pavilion. He deliberately reduced the sound of his footsteps to avoid being discovered by some people with sensitive hearing.

At the same time, he also asked Pikachu, Celebi, and the invisible Gengar to observe carefully and not miss any details. If there are any unusual discoveries, he must be informed.

After waiting for a few minutes in this small forest full of weird atmosphere, Fang Yuxuan saw that several Pokémon still didn't respond, and couldn't help but think of Qiqi's appearance and his own worries.

After a slight hesitation for a second or two, he finally made up his mind. Since he couldn't find it, he would use his mind's eye, regardless of the unknown side effects.

Hold your breath and concentrate, so that your mind and heart are unified, in a state of absolute calm, without any distracting thoughts.

This time, he took a very long time to adjust his state, because his eagerness to find Qiqi affected him, making him not as easy to calm down as usual.

Fortunately, everything went relatively smoothly.

A pair of golden rays of light reflected in his pupils like a twilight light, blooming with an indescribable brilliance.

After calming down and looking around, he realized that the surrounding scene was no longer like what he had just seen.

The ground that was originally shrouded in the shadow of leaves now seems to be filled with countless ghosts. "They" are scattered in every corner, acting strangely and taking different shapes. No matter what they are, they are almost all actions that violate the structure of the human body.

Some ghost figures raised their arms and rotated around their heads several times like two thick snakes. Others leaned their upper bodies back and raised their arms upwards, making a movement similar to lowering their waists. But what was really outrageous was that, The ghost figure actually curled up into a circle, like a ball on a wheel.

These ghosts are one after another, connected together by an unknown black substance. They seem to be lying down and looking at the ground, and behind them, that is, there seems to be something underground.

But it was too dark, and it seemed difficult to see clearly with just the eyes of the mind.

Such an incomprehensible situation stunned Fang Yuxuan for a moment, but he quickly recovered after experiencing many crises.

He did not act rashly, and for the time being he secretly thought about what he saw.

Judging from the superficial changes alone, there are two possibilities.

First, these ghosts are humans or human figures. "They" seem to be imitating the postures or characteristics of Pokémon, but relatively speaking, they are more realistic, rather than just acting symbolically through movements.

Secondly, those guys were originally Pokémon, but they just used some special ability to forcibly distort their shadows to make them look more like humans.

The second possibility is actually not very big, because basically no one else can detect this except his mind's eye ability, so there is no need to distort it at all, and it is still to the point where even the mind's eye cannot see through.

Relatively speaking, he is more inclined to the first possibility. Those weird ghosts are most likely humans or human figures, which are "sticked" to the surface of the earth.

Even though he didn't know the reason why the other party did this, he vaguely guessed that the organization that could do such weird things was most likely the organization where the Twelve Star cadres belonged.

In his impression, in the Pokémon world, only they, the two major forces of Star Soul and Darkness, could achieve this level. As for the Twelve Star Cadres, he was not really sure which organization they belonged to.

While he was thinking, Pikachu sent an idea through telepathic communication. It told him that the Variety Monster that transformed into Gengar had found the shadow that took Kiki away.

After receiving the news, Fang Yuxuan's immediate reaction was to control his emotions, lest his ability to see through his mind would disappear.

He took a deep breath and mentally asked Pikachu about Chi Chi's location and safety, and hoped that it would tell Gengar to ask if he could try to rescue her.

Before that, he had thought carefully about whether he should sit back and wait for Qiqi's location to be returned to real time and save Qiqi in his timeline, or try to rescue Qiqi here.

He thought about this issue for a long time, weighing the pros and cons, but in the end he couldn't stand silently.

Although he didn't know whether his actions would change the past timeline, whether it would affect the opponents hidden in the dark, and whether they would notice anything in the past, he just wanted to save Qiqi. .

After a brief consideration, he came to a conclusion. Do you need a reason to save that silly girl? You've come here yourself, why can't you save her who's still in danger? Even if she's not her own timeline, she's still his sister.

It didn't take long for the Variety Monster that transformed into Gengar to convey its idea to Fang Yuxuan through Pikachu. It was probably that it would describe a designated place for Fang Yuxuan to stand there, and then it would drag him underground.

That was the world of shadows, and it saw with its own eyes that Qiqi was taken there by the fat black shadow.

As for how to rescue him next, it hasn't thought that much yet. However, it specifically reminded Fang Yuxuan that after entering the shadow world, if it encounters an opponent who is also good at hiding, it cannot guarantee that it will not be discovered, nor can it guarantee that he wearing a black cloak will not be discovered.

Fang Yuxuan was not too surprised to receive such a reply. He had already considered this when he first came here and discovered the large shadow.

Finally, he asked Pikachu to ask the Variety Monster whether its transformed state would be discovered, and whether he could use a mask or other items to hide his face.

The Variety Monster that transformed into Gengar was a little embarrassed by such a complicated problem, but it still used Pikachu to help express its thoughts.

The general meaning is that in front of some Pokémon with special observation abilities, it is not sure whether it will be discovered that it has transformed into a Gengar.

As for whether ordinary masks can hide the appearance, it has not been tried, and it is even less clear whether it will be discovered.

Fang Yuxuan had already expected such an answer, so he was not too disappointed. He hesitated for a second or two, and without daring to waste time, he immediately put on the demon fox mask that looked like Zoroark. He decided to try it as a mysterious man.

Since it is something he does not know, let the unknown become knowledge through exploration.

It seemed like a reckless behavior, but he had actually thought it over carefully. He planned to make a bet. Even if the other party discovered his true identity, it would not matter. After all, this was not his timeline and everything would be restored to order.

No matter what happens, he can also give up his identity as a mysterious person and wear a new outfit for future actions, so as to do some actions that are inconvenient to be exposed.

After confirming his idea, he slowly walked to a strange big tree and conveyed his idea to Gengar, who was also invisible, through Pikachu, saying that he was ready.

At the same time, for a moment, he felt as if his eyes had been pricked by needles, which was extremely painful.

He wasn't even sure if his eyes would explode if he continued to maintain his inner vision.

It seems that the side effects are becoming more and more obvious, and I don’t know how to solve it. Maybe I can find an opportunity to ask Irina if her Hualan world has similar abilities... Fang Yuxuan thought about it and closed his mind at the same time. , and hugged Pikachu and Celebi with one hand, and rubbed the center of his brow with the other hand.
