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

In the dark and terrifying woods, the trees "bared their teeth and claws", and the ground was covered with withered and yellow leaves, as if they were rotten and had no luster.

The outside world is sunny and bright, but this place is as dark as an abyss and as silent as death. The big tree, as rotten as bones, seems to have been beheaded, with its hands stretched to the sky, silently complaining.

In the forest, the dark wind was blowing, echoing around like a ghost's roar.

The black figure standing quietly here deliberately restrained the cloak behind him to prevent it from floating.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow rose like smoke, engulfed him, and then shrank back to the ground, turning into a less obvious shadow.

At this moment, the place has returned to its original appearance again, without any abnormalities.

……

The ever-changing monster transformed into Gengar, wrapped around Fang Yuxuan in his body, and wandered in a dark space.

In the incredible dream-like surroundings, misty and unreal shadows kept flying by, and strange creatures appeared from time to time. They looked like humans but not human beings, nor did they look like normal Pokémon. Fang Yuxuan, whose vision was affected, couldn't do anything. Determine what it is.

In such a strange, strange and pitch-black space, he could almost be said to be a blind man with his eyes open. Without using his mind's eye ability to see, he could only barely see things within one meter of the nearby area by completely merging the Variety Monster that transformed into Gengar with the shadow.

Even at a close distance, all he could see was a very vague outline.

He even had some doubts. It was basically impossible to see the things around him clearly. Even if it's right under your nose, close at hand, you may not be able to see it completely.

well! The preparations are still not sufficient. In this case, I am completely a burden and it is basically difficult to help the Variety Monster... Fang Yuxuan sighed silently, and in his heart, he silently rejected his previous plan to separate with Gengar.

Now, he, Pikachu and Celebi all know very well that if they want to explore this place without knowing anything or seeing anything clearly, it is more appropriate and safer to stay in Gengar's body.

During the process, Fang Yuxuan was a little curious. Can the new phantom lens or other night vision goggles see the situation here clearly?

Of course, after thinking about it, he didn't try. After all, the space that Gengar's body could accommodate was very limited, and it was simply not enough to allow his "giant baby" to move within his body, even to a small extent.

Not to mention that he is now wearing a demon fox mask that looks like Zoroark, and there is no room for the new phantom lens.

Fortunately, the Variety Monster that transformed into Gengar understood their situation, so he did not take them out. He only exposed a hole in the belly of the black hole-like body, just like the inside of the pouch in front of the marsupial's belly. Like the baby wearing it.

However, because they were all invisible, they were not exposed.

The light gray "Gengar" is like a transparent little monster, flying in the dreamlike shadow world.

Here, it took Fang Yuxuan, Pikachu, and Celebi in its body to see the world formed by shadows up close. They crossed the black peaks made of shadows and passed through a forest of shadows.

All in all, the space and fantasy scene they were in were all black with no light source. They were like pure projections of things on the ground, but they looked incredible.

Regarding this, "Gengar" also made no secret that it had never been there. The shadows it usually sneaks into only enter a small dark space. There is no connection between the shadows of different things, so there will be no such fantasy. The shadow world.

Of course, the Variety Monster with Gengar's ability can cross from one shadow to another without any sign. This is the real reason why it can move almost instantaneously.

In this way, each of them, with emotions such as curiosity, surprise, vigilance, and expectation, followed the induction of "Gengar" and came to an area suspected to be composed of shadows of turbid, flowing liquid.

Because the distance was too far, Fang Yuxuan couldn't see clearly what the objects in the darkness were even if he squinted his eyes, but he could feel "Gengar" stopping its progress.

Before he could ask the question in his heart, Pikachu's voice came to his mind, and without any need to react, its voice was automatically translated into something he could understand.

Probably, the Variety Monster that transformed into Gengar hoped that it would tell Fang Yuxuan that the person he was looking for was just ahead. They just had to cross an area suspected of being a shadow swamp. It should be noted that they had to be careful during the process.

Hearing this, Fang Yuxuan was about to say why, but Pikachu beat him to the explanation.

The Variety Monster, which has mastered all the abilities of Gengar, often transforms into Gengar, so its performance and abilities in all aspects can be said to be no different from Gengar.

Now that it has Gengar's ability, it itself is hidden in the shadows. Even if its understanding of shadows is not as strong as the real Gengar's, it is not too different.

When it first arrived in this area, the Variety Monster sensed powerful malice. It was suspected that there were other lives hiding in the Shadow Swamp, and even it couldn't see through the situation below. It seemed that there were extremely dangerous things in the "swamp". substance.

Fang Yuxuan knew that the Variety Monsters wanted him to make the decision. After all, based on his previous performance, he had carefully considered and formulated a general direction in his heart before instructing them on how to act.

This time, the Variety Monster also involuntarily chose to obey the trainer's arrangements.

Considering that Qiqi was in a critical moment, he did not waste time and decided to let "Gengar" take them on an adventure and adapt to danger when encountering danger. If it didn't work, he would stop hiding and let other Pokémon help.

After confirming his idea, the Gengar-like Variety Monster immediately flew forward with one person and two Pokémon in his body.

In order to ensure nothing went wrong, Fang Yuxuan and Pikachu and Celebi in his arms did not even dare to make any movement.

In addition, he also warned Pikachu from the bottom of his heart to use his sensitive hearing to pay more attention to the surrounding situation. As well as "Gengar", he also had to pay attention to the changes in details around him. If anything was abnormal, he must be informed through Pikachu.

Cardcaptor and Pikachu responded indiscriminately.

Next, they continued to move forward.

Not long after, "Gengar", which was flying steadily while remaining invisible, had not even reached the central area of ​​the "Shadow Swamp" when a sudden change occurred.

boom!

Not long after they entered the shadows with different shades of colors, a strange ghost-like claw emerged from the shadows and attacked the "Gengar" in mid-air. It seemed that there was some kind of indescribable creature hidden underground. .

The sudden sound alerted Fang Yuxuan instantly. At that moment, he thought that the invisibility state could not hide them at all. Then, what he thought about was how to escape.

But when he thought that Qiqi's safety was still uncertain, he rejected the idea of ​​​​escape. He followed the direction of the sound, looked at the darkness below, and thought about countermeasures.

At this moment, a pair of lights flickered, allowing Fang Yuxuan with blurred vision to see clearly. It was as if there were two strange cross stars, seducing his soul and mind, making him unconsciously want to raise his hand and jump out of Geng The ghost's body rushes towards the star.

Indescribable magic controlled his thoughts, and all his original thoughts were interrupted. His eyes were dull, and even though there was still a trace of will to struggle, he was unable to fight at all.

Suddenly, in the endless void, a hand appeared out of thin air, its fingers bent like a hook.

boom!

The hand hit the back of his head, and the severe pain brought him back to consciousness.

I...what happened just now? There's this terrifying power of, wait, how did I wake up? It seemed like... Fang Yuxuan's eyes widened.

After reacting, he subconsciously looked behind him, only to find that there was nothing but darkness, a darkness like nothingness.

Only then did he remember that he was currently in Gengar's body. Apart from himself and his Pokémon, how could there be anyone else here?

He looked at Pikachu and Celebi in his arms, wanting to ask something. His lips opened slightly, then closed together helplessly.

At this time, Pikachu and Celebi's eyes were no longer bright, and there was only confusion in their eyes. They seemed to be looking outside absentmindedly, and their little hands were waving unconsciously, as if seeking a hug, looking pitiful.

Fang Yuxuan: "..."

He sighed silently, took out one hand, and as if he couldn't bear it, he knocked hard on the little heads of Pikachu and Celebi respectively.

"Pika!?" Pikachu's whole body trembled suddenly, and the pain made it make a weak sound uncontrollably. Then it raised its head in surprise and looked at Fang Yuxuan with its big watery eyes, thinking about something.

After a while, it asked in its heart:

"Pika~ I seem to be controlled by those pairs of lights. That light seems to have some kind of magic power. I can't get rid of it. Well...it's so scary!"

Beside it, Celebi was gradually waking up.

Although Pikachu's voice just now was not loud, in this place where you could hear a pin drop, Celebi could hear it very clearly.

"VV~VV!" (Phew! It's so dangerous!) Celebi nodded in approval.

Fang Yuxuan first observed the status of "Gengar" and found that it seemed to be unaffected and successfully evaded the pursuit of the devil's claw. Then he paid attention to Pikachu's answer. He couldn't help but frown.

What was that just now? Things that can make Pikachu scream scary and Celebi feel dangerous are no longer simple in themselves.

The most important thing is that the other party can actually detect their presence, directly pass through Gengar's body, look towards them, and exert some kind of influence.

Sure enough, it's not as simple as I thought. The Variety Monster probably didn't look at the pair of lights just now, so there was no problem... Fang Yuxuan nodded secretly, and then his thoughts couldn't help but spread.

Just now, he was the one who woke up Pikachu and Celebi, but who woke him up?

Could it be that there is someone else in the body of the strange creature? But that's impossible. Besides him, Pikachu, and Celebi, who else could be there? How did the other party come in? Moreover, judging from the appearance of the Variety Monster, it doesn't even feel anything. Hiss~ It seems that the problem here is not small, at least it is much bigger than I predicted... Fang Yuxuan nodded secretly, his brows furrowed unconsciously. Together.

The "Gengar"-looking Variety Monster seemed to have noticed the situation on their side, and without daring to hesitate any longer, he quickly flew forward, so nimble that he didn't look like a fat man at all.

Below, in the large shadow of a turbid liquid like a swamp, the hidden unknown creature did not seem to give up. A purple-black claw stretched out again, like a slow-moving giant snake, looking up to the sky to swallow the small thing in the sky. prey.

This time, Fang Yuxuan was sure that the other party could see them, because including him, the Variety Monsters themselves, Pikachu and Celebi who transformed into "Gengar" were all in a state of invisibility. If the other party could not see them, it would be impossible. Attacked them three times in a row.

They may have sensed something once or twice, but when they were about to leave, they continued to chase them without any deviation in the direction, which is enough to explain the reason.

Of course, there is another possibility!

Fang Yuxuan suddenly thought of something, lowered his head and took a deep look at Pikachu.

He clearly remembered that Pikachu screamed after being knocked by him. In this silent and strange place, this sound is enough to attract the attention of all living creatures.

"Pika~ Do you suspect that my voice attracted the other person's attention?" Pikachu knew his thoughts through spiritual communication and also passed on his questions.

"There is no shortage of such possibilities..." Fang Yuxuan responded silently in his heart, but he did not mean to blame him. After all, it was also because of him that he screamed.

He immediately gave corresponding countermeasures in his mind, using Pikachu to let "Gengar" change its flight trajectory and observe the movements of the "devil's claw".

After "Gengar" received Pikachu's message, he immediately followed suit and performed a beautiful 180-degree rotation. Like a pulley, it rolled to the other side in mid-air, far enough away from its original straight flight path. Several meters away.

The purple-black claw ran straight ahead, seemingly unaware that "Gengar" had shifted its position, and headed straight ahead.

Seeing this scene, Pikachu and Celebi smiled and covered their mouths with their little hands to prevent any sound from coming out.

Above their heads, Fang Yuxuan, who was holding Pikachu and Celebi, had a serious look on his face. Obviously he would not let down his guard so easily. He stared straight ahead. Because he couldn't see the scene in the distance, he could only communicate through his mind. He relies on Pikachu to use his special ability to send messages to him and "Gengar" to know the situation of the pair of claws.

Through Pikachu, he warned the Variety Monster that transformed into Gengar to always pay attention to the movements of its claws, lest the other party wants to take advantage of it and attack them from east to west, or go around to block them from the front, or pass through two The claws blocked its flight area, preventing them from moving forward.

Neither Pikachu nor Digimon expected his caution, but they felt at ease because of it, as they didn't have to worry about the limited areas they could pay attention to and encounter unexpected dangers.

In a dark place where you can't even see your fingers, like a swamp, underneath it is thick, mottled, and full of strange aura. The pair of purple-black claws continue to extend from the ground, moving towards the distance as if there is no limit.

The Variety Monster, who transformed into Gengar, conveyed everything he saw to Fang Yuxuan through Pikachu.

After learning all this, Fang Yuxuan's focus was completely different from that of Pikachu and the others. What he was thinking about was not the underground. Well... let's call it the underground, why are the unknown creatures chasing after them? Because to him, there are only two points. .

One, the guy needs food or wants to capture them for his own reasons.

Secondly, that guy acts as a guard for some people, intercepting all creatures that pass by here.

What really made it difficult for him to understand was what the unknown guy hiding below relied on to determine their location?

Maybe the subsequent pursuit was due to the sound, but initially they didn't make any movement.

Since they could be detected by the owner of the "Devil's Claw" from the beginning, it should be able to track their location, instead of following the "air" along a straight line like it is now.

But judging from the description of "Gengar", the other party didn't notice them at all, so how did they attack them in the first place?

Could it be that that guy was just like him now, unable to adapt to the darkness here, unable to see the scene in the distance clearly, and could only pray that the blind cat would encounter a dead mouse?

Or maybe it has been sitting down there for too long, and it just came out to move around because it had nothing to do?

Just when Fang Yuxuan was muttering how such an unrealistic good thing could be possible, a thunderous sound came, followed by heart-rending screams, followed by the sound of some kind of liquid splashing.

Damn it, it can’t really be such a coincidence, right? This damn rat came as soon as he said it... Fang Yuxuan was stunned, and then indirectly asked "Gengar" through Pikachu about the situation in the distance.

Pikachu made a listening gesture and listened quietly to something.

For a moment, it seemed to be memorizing something seriously. To Fang Yuxuan, it looked like a child reciting the text, burning the paste and following the sundial.

Seeing this, he nodded involuntarily and smiled. I’m afraid no one can dislike such a serious and hard-working little guy, right?

Not long after he waited patiently, Pikachu seemed to be remembering something, brewing for a few seconds, and conveyed in his heart what the Variety Monster had seen:

"Pika~ It said that a human who was invisible with the help of Pokémon's ability was discovered in the distance. It may be that the Pokémon itself did not have the ability to help the trainer become invisible. In the end, it was crushed by the huge claw and blood spattered . Hmm... so scary. I heard it said there will be a lot of blood and bones on the ground, and he may not be the only one found."

Hearing this, Fang Yuxuan frowned. Besides Qiqi, it turned out that there were other people who came here either actively or passively.

No wonder he didn't see many people passing by Yuejian Mountain or digging for ores inside. At first, he thought it was the major trainer branches that had issued some announcement in advance to stop ordinary people from approaching, but it turned out that he was brought here.

Um? Then why did I enter Mount Tsukimi fine and nothing happened? Could this be random? Fang Yuxuan asked himself in his heart, and then he thought of the two people he encountered chasing and fleeing when he first approached Yuejian Mountain.

Was it because the man ran away that I was ignored? Well, it's somewhat possible... Fang Yuxuan's brows widened. He looked at Pikachu and asked in his heart:

"Then what? What did it say it saw?"

"Pika?" (Then? What then?) Pikachu tilted his head, responded in his heart, and then added: "There is no more."

"Uh..." Fang Yuxuan was stunned, staring at it expressionlessly, and fell into silence. For this kind of answer, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
