There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

"OK, the intrusion is complete, I'll take over remotely." The person on the other end of the headset smiled and typed in the last digit.

Kitazawa Reiyuu breathed a sigh of relief only after he saw the countdown on the screen return to 01:00:00.

"Thirteen minutes. How's that? Not bad, right?" the child's voice on the other end of the headset boasted, "I didn't expect she would add so much misleading information. If I hadn't been so careful, I might have been in trouble."

Kitazawa Lingyou nodded as a compliment to this man.

But he suddenly remembered that he couldn't see what was happening over here, and was about to speak.

"Wow, I saw that." The person on the other end of the headset suddenly laughed, "I hacked into the surveillance camera by the way. It seems that you have a good opinion of me this time."

"I can only say that there was no regression." Kitazawa Lingyou raised the Poké Ball to retrieve the Nidoking that was tying up the Rocket Team on the ground with ropes, and took off his mask. "It took a total of forty-six minutes..."

Before he finished speaking, the screen, which had returned to calm, suddenly turned scarlet again, and the countdown jumped to 00:05:00 at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The shrill alarm sounded throughout the house.

Red lights flashed in front of Kitazawa Lingyou's eyes, dyeing the snow-white wall a dangerous red.

He almost subconsciously asked, "What's going on?!"

"I'm checking!" The person on the other end of the headset was also panicking, and the sound of keyboards without rhythm rang in his ears. "It seems that someone has started a program... Damn it!"

Suddenly, a curse was heard in his ear. Before Kitazawa Lingyou could ask any questions, the person on the other end of the headset continued, "The bomb has two-way insurance! There is another operating table besides this one! The security code input over there has timed out! It's going to explode soon!"

"what?!"

Kitazawa Lingyou's mind went blank. He took out his cell phone almost reflexively and dialed.

"Beep-beep-"

When the phone was busy, an "R" suddenly popped up on the screen and stayed in the center.

Then, the noisy sounds of bullets and explosions appeared in Kitazawa Lingyou's ears.

"The crater was raided by police! The crater was raided by police!"

"Damn it! That Junsha is too good at fighting! Where did she get the Pokémon?!"

"In short, we can only hold out for three more minutes at most before we have to retreat! We have no choice but to activate the bomb in advance!"

"You guys should evacuate quickly! The volcano is about to erupt! Red Lotus Island is going to sink!!"

With a "click" sound, not only the communication from the Rocket Team at the crater was hung up.

The calls that were made but not connected on the mobile phone were also hung up.

Kitazawa Lingyou frowned, turned around and walked quickly towards the window.

Along the way, he ignored the researchers who had received the evacuation notice and were fleeing, and used his cell phone to dial back and forth between two phone numbers marked "Fujino Sakura" and "Ye".

Until he stood by the window and dialed the number he knew by heart for the last time.

"Beep-beep-"

The continuous busy tone was like a thread that made Kitazawa Lingyou, who was already in a mess, even more irritated.

He hung up the phone bluntly and put one hand on the window.

The next moment, it jumped out of the windowsill like a flying swallow spreading its wings!

The loud cry of the Pidgeot, which had been waiting in the air for a long time, resounded through the sky and came flying like an arrow.

Kitazawa Reiyuu sat on Pidgeot's back and soared high in the sky, and the situation of the entire island was clearly visible.

Countless crying people were running towards the port under the guidance of police officers; the volcano in the distance was experiencing a fierce collision of special moves; several flying Pokémon took off from the Pokémon Center and circled over the city.

But Kitazawa Reiyuu only took a few glances at all this and then looked away indifferently.

He looked towards the inn with a clock tower on the top of the mountain, thinking about the last puzzle that Shuo Guye had sent him.

"Shower room and Gyarados..." Kitazawa Lingyou murmured in a low voice, "Could it be a secret passage?"

Countdown 04:17

----

Under the full firepower of the Duck-billed Fire Dragon, the Pterosaur looked embarrassed, but it was still able to summon falling rocks while dodging, causing considerable trouble to the Duck-billed Fire Dragon.

"Fire Vortex."

Xia Bo's eyes were fixed on the fossil pterosaur that was fighting more and more courageously, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit troubled.

After all, if he really used all his skills...

Xia Bo lowered his head slightly, his eyes dyed red by the magma.

That could be fatal.

"Hey! Xiaoye! Shuoyaye!"

Fujino Sakura was still trying to wake up Sakutani Ye, who was sinking deeper and deeper into despair, with bloodshot eyes. She was gritting her teeth to suppress the murderous intent that was inexplicably rising in her heart.

He didn't even bother to pay attention to the phone that was vibrating against his thigh.

"No..." After hesitating for a long time, Fujino Sakura finally took out the Poké Ball and said, "Be patient for now. I'll apologize to you when you wake up..."

Suddenly, a white light flashed before my eyes.

Fujino Sakura paused holding the Poké Ball and moved her gaze to the green Pokémon beside Sakuya Ye's leg.

"Green vine snake?"

The green vine snake rarely showed mercy to Fujino Sakura and nodded.

The next second, two crisp sounds made Fujino Sakura cover her face in pain.

Oh my god, this is a fatal move!

As for Shuoya Ye, who was hit on the cheek by the whip, he tilted his head and lowered his eyes, with two clearly visible red marks appearing on his cheeks.

It hurts, but it's effective enough.

Sakuya Ye, who had regained some consciousness, took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Thank you, Qingteng Snake."

The green vine snake raised the vine whip and nodded, its amber eyes full of solemnity.

"Really? You've been influenced again..."

Sakuya Ye's memory goes back to the time when he lost control in the Osandani Cave.

Exactly the same, the uncontrollable desire to kill.

He looked at the battlefield that had been destroyed beyond all recognition. Countless pieces of rubble and huge fallen rocks covered the ground, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on every corner.

Then he looked up at the fossilized pterosaur that was still flying high in the sky, its angry roar still echoing.

Shuo Gu Ye raised his right hand and placed it on his chest, pressing the bulge under his collarbone.

"Please." He closed his eyes again and chased the consciousness that was raging in his mind.

"Join me and stop it."

----

at the same time

The two Pokémon, which were also thousands of miles apart but not in the same place, seemed to sense something and focused their attention on one place.

"Latias?"

The girl on the island gently stroked the Pokémon that instantly displayed its supernatural power and asked, "Are you sensing Latios's location again?"

After a moment, the Pokémon, which had returned to normal, turned around and looked at the girl, first shook his head, and then nodded slightly.

Then, its eyes lit up blue.

The scene far away in the Red Lotus Gym was projected in front of the girl in the center of the ocean.

"Is this a Pokémon battle?" The girl looked closer and curiously, and continued, "That one over here is Charmeleon, and the one flying in the sky is..."

Suddenly, she covered her lips.

He looked at the boy who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar in disbelief.

And floating beside him, Latios and Latias appeared here in spirit form.

"Oh my God...!" The girl suddenly stood up as if she suddenly thought of something, scaring Latias beside her, and the picture disappeared.

"Latios is still alive! I'm going to tell grandpa!" The girl quickly opened the door and ran out.

"And that boy..."

The girl fluttered through the garden full of gorgeous flowers like the wind, unable to contain her excitement.

She took out the photo paper that she had always carried with her and carefully preserved.

A gentle-looking woman was sitting on the swing, smiling gently.

In her arms, the baby in the cradle opened his watery blue eyes curiously, and his arms, as white as lotus roots, grabbed at the air randomly.

Above the woman's head, Latias and Latios flew on both sides of the swing, making funny faces to amuse the baby.

"She really looks like... exactly like my aunt."

Countdown 03:27

"Oh?" Xia Bo waved his hand to stop the duck-billed fire dragon from accumulating flames, and said with a smile, "It seems that you have regained your sanity?"

"Yes, that's right." Shuo Gu Ye had a few red marks on his face, but his smile was still bright. "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

"Haha, I'll just pretend I didn't see Qingteng Snake's off-field assistance."

Xia Bo made an appropriate joke, and the green vine snake standing next to Shuo Gu Ye finally put away the vine whip that was swinging vigorously.

Xia Bo laughed even louder and continued, "It's just that this venue seems to be unable to withstand the impact..."

"How about this!" Xia Bo suggested, "The duck-billed fire dragon and the fossil pterosaur have already consumed a lot of physical strength in the battle. There is no point in continuing the battle."

"One move will decide the outcome." Xia Bo's eyes flashed, "Let me see your strongest move and see if it can extinguish my fiery will."

"If you can, this crimson badge will be yours!"

Xia Bo raised his right arm.

In his hand, a shining badge lay quietly in his palm, waiting for the challenger to take it away.

"no problem!"

Shuoya Ye responded without hesitation.

Xia Bo nodded and gave the order first.

"Duck-billed Fire Dragon, jump into the lava."

With a splash, the duck-billed fire dragon poked its head out of the magma pool that could easily melt even rocks, looking as comfortable as if it was soaking in a hot spring.

"Then..."

Xia Bo opened his left hand and slowly raised his left arm.

Only after he raised it above his head did he shout with excitement on his face, "Turn the magma into your energy, and end this battle with the fire that can devour everything!"

"Big characters burst into flames!"

Countdown 00:12

Since Shuo Gu Ye successfully suppressed the fossil pterosaur's out-of-control emotions, he inexplicably felt that there was an invisible and intangible thread connecting him and the fossil pterosaur.

So much so that he could now easily understand the fossil pterosaur's thoughts and sense its remaining physical strength.

It's very similar to Out of Control, except...

"It's time to go, fossil pterosaur." Shuo Gu Ye didn't shout at the top of his voice, he just spoke at a normal volume.

But the fossil pterosaur soaring in the sky seemed to have heard the trainer's words and responded with a loud roar.

…I’m the one taking the lead this time!

"Destroy the Death Ray!"

Countdown 00:03

The flames were enough to distort the space and formed the Chinese character "大". Wherever they passed, even the gas made bursts of explosions, as if succumbing to the raging fire, burning unwillingly but helplessly.

Countdown 00:02

On the other side, the fossil pterosaur spread its huge wings and the air around its body began to vibrate.

It opened its mouth, and a dazzling light gathered in its mouth.

The light grew brighter and brighter, almost piercing through the battlefield that was buried underground by rocks.

With a deafening roar, the fossil pterosaur transformed the energy gathered in its mouth into a thick beam of light, and rushed towards the duck-billed fire dragon with the momentum to destroy everything.

Countdown 00:01

The two forces were deadlocked in mid-air, with the exploding flames and the destructive beams of death light intertwined.

They devoured each other, and the dazzling fire and energy beams made everyone present close their eyes and stretch out their arms to block them.

Along with a deafening explosion, the roar of magma seemed to ring in the ears.

Shuogu Ye Wuxia was concerned about the rubber band that was blown away by the wind wave and her long hair that was blown all over the place, and she looked up into the sky with a sharp gaze.

He could feel that the fossil pterosaur did not fall down!

The next moment, the uncrowned overlord of the sky flapped his wings to blow away the smoke and dust, and defended the throne with absolute strength.

The duck-billed fire dragon, which was lying on its back on the surface of the magma pool with its eyes turned into mosquito coils, was also retracted by a red light.

Xia Bo did not seem to be dissatisfied with the result of the defeat. Instead, he was about to cross the field and walk towards the challenger with a smile on his face.

"Xiaoye!"

The door behind Sakutani Ye was pushed open by a huge force. Looking back, Kitazawa Lingyou didn't care about the pain from the sweat dripping into his eyes, and grabbed his wrist and said.

"Run! There's a bomb on Red Lotus Island! The volcano is about to erupt!"

Countdown 00:00

Just as he finished speaking, an explosion sounded, even more ear-piercing than the previous collision of the two ultimate moves.

Fujino Sakura and Sakutani Ye couldn't help but cover their ears which were starting to ring. Feeling dizzy, they had no choice but to follow Kitazawa Reisuke's force and leave.

Shuoya Ye shook his head, raised the Poké Ball and was about to take back the Green Vine Snake and Fossil Pterosaur that were still outside.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank.

Almost instantly, he broke free from Kitazawa Lingyou's palm and shouted at the green vine snake.

"Quick! Whip! Catch Mr. Xia Bo!"

The green vine snake turned around quickly and two vine whips flew out.

The battlefield, which had long been on the verge of collapse, completely collapsed and cracked under the impact of the explosion, and sank into the ground under the devouring of the greedy magma.

And Xia Bo is currently at the center of the battlefield!

If it was two seconds later, the lava would have licked the tips of his shoes!

"Bulbasaur! Poliwag!" Fujino Sakura turned around and threw the Poké Ball almost at the same time as Sakuya Ye gave the order, "Help!"

The vines of Bulbasaur wrapped around the vines of Green Ivy Snake in circles.

Every time the vines of Bulbasaur extended an inch, the Poliwag would water them with a continuous stream of water to reduce the erosion of the heat.

"That's too late!"

Kitazawa Lingyou gritted his teeth and looked at the gradually rising magma surface. He took out the Poké Ball and said, "Hurry up and get your Flying Pokémon! Smash through the rock above your head and fly out!"
