Everything on the cliff happens in a blink of an eye. When the owner of Nidoland realized that his Pokémon was not around and looked down in panic, Charizard had already taken off the young people who had been bungee jumping steadily.
Nidoran huddled in the arms of the purple-haired girl and looked around cautiously. And its trainer finally realized his dereliction of duty and howled so loud that the whole canyon could hear his voice.
"Wow wow wow Ni Dolan I'm sorry-"
Seeing the boy crying like a water bottle stumbling over on the rope and about to fall to the bottom of the cliff, Xiaoye hurriedly grabbed his collar and carried him back to the safe area, then shook his head and handed him back to Nidolan.
"Okay, it's okay."
"Thank you wuwuwu Nidoran——"
Nidolan was so frightened that he immediately began to cry loudly with his trainer. The double noise was as powerful as a roaring explosive bomb and snoring. The shock caused Yan to retreat repeatedly and hid all the way to the edge of the canyon before stopping in fear. .
Xiaoye raised her eyes cautiously and looked at the profile of the silver-haired boy sitting in front of her.
She knew that her subconscious use of the power of the waveguide might have exposed something she wanted to hide. It's just that she is not as proficient in perception and detection as her friend. She can't guess what the other person feels, so she can only remain silent for the time being.
But Xiaotian's expression was calm and calm, as if he didn't notice anything unusual. Realizing that the person behind him was staring at him non-stop, he turned around and cast a slightly doubtful look.
"Uh... I just wanted to say, thank you."
"..."
The doubtful eyes gradually turned into astonishment. Xiaotian was obviously shocked by his friend's sudden politeness, as if he had returned to the attitude he had when they first met a year ago. He opened his mouth to ask a few more questions, but his voice was washed away by the energetic voices of the golden retrievers.
"Hey, why are you two hiding so far away? I also want to play with Yan -"
Xiaojie seemed to be a golden thorn ball falling from the sky, landing on the rope net and bouncing. Before he could stand still, he stretched out his hand to pick up the tail of the fire-breathing dragon. The inflammatory response increased very quickly, and this prevented the golden retriever from scorching his fingers.
But in its haste to dodge, it failed to notice what was behind it, and inadvertently knocked Miaomiao floating in the air. Seeing the cat's round eyes widening angrily, and gradually emitting blue light, the three children looked at each other. , an ominous premonition arises spontaneously.
"Whoaaah!"
Not far away, Xiaoling watched with dumbfounded eyes as her three companions were thrown up and down by telekinesis, as messy as if they had been sucked into a drum washing machine. She simply didn't know whether to hide away or take out the motion sickness medicine from her backpack first. Finally, the blonde girl gave up thinking and plunged into the tornado of mental power.
"Take me alone and I will fly too——"
When the sun reached overhead, the bungee jumping finally came to an end amidst the chaos.
The young trainers played through the most thrilling events in the canyon area, and successfully obtained the starlight stone as a clearance certificate from the manager. With yesterday's harvest, there was only one last step left before they could complete the "King's Gift". close.
"...This is probably what is called, always saving the highlight until the end?"
A group of people stood in front of a dilapidated building. The dense canopy of trees blocked the sunlight, and the dark wind that came from nowhere carried the fallen leaves, making people even feel chilly.
The "Misty Mansion" in Harsaland is the most difficult project in the entire amusement park.
It combines many elements such as haunted houses, escape rooms, and mazes. Challengers need to fight ghost Pokémon in buildings shrouded in dense fog, find the mechanism that opens the way forward, and then overcome the dizzying corners to escape. This mansion is occupied by evil spirits. Even the brave southerners, who are generally very brave, were a little frightened when faced with the weird atmosphere in the house and the ghosts that jumped in the face from time to time. Just standing in front of the door, Xiaojie's sensitive ears could vaguely catch the screams coming from the house. Voice.
As for the muffled sound that followed and the slight shock that came from the soles of the feet - it was probably because the frightened southerners and their Pokémon began to bomb the site indiscriminately, regardless of whether they were friends or foes.
Considering the difficulty of solving the problem, the golden retriever brother and sister rarely stopped and repaired for a while outside the door. They read through the spell manual again, held their weapons firmly in their hands, and gave instructions to their Pokémon partners on their combat strategies before striding into the mist-shrouded mansion.
The boots stepped on the worn stone tiles, and the sound of impact echoed in the empty hall. As soon as a group of people stepped inside, the door behind them slammed shut, and the ensuing fog engulfed the field of vision, making it almost difficult to see the road under their feet.
There was a faint sound of high-pitched laughter coming from all directions. Shadows loomed in the fog, casting their blood-red gaze on the uninvited guests - the ghosts who had occupied the mansion were already eyeing the outsiders.
"We have read the guide. There is only one way to go in the entrance hall." Xiaojie and Xiaoling were not afraid at all when they were stared at. They just directed the team happily, "Follow us!"
Four children who are not afraid of ghosts and a soldier in a wheelchair travel through the mansion together. Ghosts seemed to be everywhere, stretching out cold claws to tug at the tourists' clothes and grabbing their ankles from time to time; while the more grumpy ghosts couldn't bear the intrusion of outsiders on their floor, and launched attacks on them without any explanation.
As the vanguard of the team, the brother and sister took the lead and shouldered the responsibility of opening the way. Casey and Dirk fought side by side in a tacit understanding, and their strong mental power and unpredictable moves successfully repelled the incoming ghost Pokémon, allowing the group to continue moving forward; the trainer himself did not forget to charge into the battle with guns and daggers. , for a time fireballs and water bombs were flying all over the sky, and the whole mansion was filled with the sound of them shouting mantras loudly.
The other two looked at each other, shrugged at each other, and had no choice but to let the birthday friends mess around.
Relying on their observation skills and the strategy information they had seen in advance, Xiaojie and Xiaoling found two mechanisms one after another, and gradually opened up the road to the deepest part of the mansion. It wasn't until the surrounding passages were tightly blocked by tall bookshelves that they began to have trouble.
The ghost guarding the door had long been defeated by them, and the stone pillars and raised tile floor had been touched every time; the two even took the trouble to take out each book and stuff it back again, but still could not find any hint of the way forward.
Xiaojie tentatively took out the most conspicuous book in the middle of the bookshelf. After flipping through a few pages, he became dizzy with all the Spanish letters in his eyes and hurriedly put the book back to its place. Looking back, the silver-haired friend showed no intention of actively decrypting the code. He even read it with gusto while holding the book.
The golden retriever brother and sister looked at each other, and then pounced on Xiao Ye in unison. Their movements were as fast as a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. It frightened the Kati dog beside them and backed away repeatedly, only to save their paws from being stepped on.
"Xiaoye, help me - I really can't think of what to do, and I don't want to read that pile of books!"
"Use your invincible dictionary to think of a solution!"
"..."
Xiaoye held her invincible dictionary and fell into speechlessness for a moment.
Seeing one of Xiaojie and Xiaoling looking pitiful like a rock dog, and the other pulling out a few thick books and trying to stuff them in, Xiaoye took two steps back in a hurry.
"Okay, okay, I understand - it has nothing to do with the content of the book."
Xiaoling nodded without understanding, and finally put the frightening foreign language book in her hand back to its original place. Xiao Ye sighed and actually opened the surprisingly thick instruction manual.
The staff in the girl's hand was raised slightly, and the gem on the tip gradually began to shine in the mist.
"The vortex of the color of life rotates, the seven-layered gate appears in the world, and the tower of power dominates the nine heavens——"
As the mantra was recited, the prayer master's staff glowed brightly. The mist melted away quickly like ice and snow meeting fire, revealing the true appearance of the ghost hidden in the corner.
Seemingly realizing that his figure was revealed uncontrollably, the little dream monster suddenly panicked, screamed and squeezed into the gap in the corner of the wall to escape. And something hanging around its neck fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Xiaojie picked up the object dropped by the dream monster - it was a palm-sized chess piece. Looking at the seemingly decorative homogeneous grooves on the bookshelf, the method of breaking the barrier is self-evident.
"Wow, what did you do?"
The golden retrievers crowded their heads over curiously. Xiaoye turned the book in her hand and showed them the content - "Purification Magic [Ultima], which dispels unclean things in the air through sincere prayers and forces ghosts to appear."
"It's just 'seeing through'." She explained succinctly.
"Well, okay. Our guns and knives really can't catch ghosts."
The brother and sister shrugged and admitted that they had lost the game temporarily.
The chess set was inlaid into the groove, and the heavy bookshelf moved slowly, revealing the hidden road behind it. There are two doors on the left and right in the small round hall. It is dark everywhere you look, and you can't see what is at the end.
"It looks like the troops are going to split into two groups."
Xiaojie and Xiaoling knew that the Misty Mansion liked to separate groups of tourists so that they could experience the fear of being alone, so they didn’t hesitate much when they saw this, and decided on the lineup allocation in just a few words - the one on the left with a carving of a ferocious monster. The two of them were in charge of the door, while the door with the magic circle on the right was left to Xiaoye and Xiaotian to explore.
Watching the golden retriever brother and sister rushing into the corridor, within half a minute there was an explosion mixed with shouts. Xiaoye and Xiaotian couldn't help but look at each other worriedly.
Are you really not going to be fined for damaging the park facilities if this continues...
After sighing, they walked into another passage with the soldier in the wheelchair.
The road deep inside the mansion is winding and winding, and you can get lost in it if you are not careful. The stone bricks under their feet were also piled with unclear debris. They were originally worried about the inconvenience of Mr. Matsunaga's wheelchair and wanted to lend a hand - but when they saw the middle-aged man lightly press the switch on the armrest, the wheelchair The whole thing was lifted up and floated by super powers, as flexible as Miaomiao flying in the canyon area, and both of them swallowed back the questions.
It turns out...the two gems inlaid on the wheel are not decorations.
The corridor in front of you is like a maze, enough to make it difficult for people with poor sense of direction to distinguish between east, west and north. The two free trainers with rich travel experience could barely tell where they were, and they figured out the way forward bit by bit in the fog.
When she was about to leave the corridor, Xiaoye tripped and seemed to have kicked something.
There is a lot of debris accumulated in the mansion, and there are endless scary objects such as bloody masks and rusty iron ropes. Xiaoye glanced at it subconsciously, but her eyes suddenly stopped.
Then, she bent down and picked up the unknown object submerged in the thick fog.
It was a fragment of a plastic container, and the yellow base and transparent shell could be vaguely distinguished. It seemed like it had just fallen here and was not yet covered in dust. It didn't look like it was part of the mansion's set.
This won't be unfamiliar to trainers - it's apparently a remnant of the most common Pokémon egg incubator on the market.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her friend looking over in confusion, Xiaoye put the broken incubator aside and reached out to touch the rotten wooden shelf beside her. Moss and mildew stains made the fingertips sticky to the touch, but they still couldn't hide the jagged cracks inside, as if they had been scratched by sharp claws.
"Xiaotian, look."
Looking at the location pointed by his companion, Xiaotian suddenly frowned. Scratches, the damaged incubator shell, plus the news I saw while riding the observation car - a bad guess emerged in my mind almost immediately.
Obviously, his friends also thought of the same possibility.
Facing the young man's serious ice-blue eyes, Xiaoye had no choice but to temporarily suppress the idea of relying on waveguides to detect the surroundings. She picked up the fragments of the incubator and looked at the other person who also frowned.
"Mr. Matsunaga, Katy Dog, can I ask you a favor?" She handed over the object in her hand, "I want to find the person who brought it here."
The former detective saw all the strange things and already noticed something was wrong. Then he nodded to the dog.
The lingering smell from the incubator seems to still be distinct. After sniffing it carefully, the Kati dog ran forward without hesitation.
The Pichu on Xiaoye's shoulder released a bright white light, illuminating the road under her feet. Ghost Pokémon from all directions were attracted by the light, and countless ghost figures circled and stretched out their sharp claws, trying to drag the trainers deep underground.
——It’s just that the current situation is urgent and there is really no time to play around with these dedicated Pokémon.
"Leave it to me." Xiaotian whispered, and the white Pokémon appeared beside him in response.
Pokejigu rolled up a pink whirlwind, and the seemingly gentle airflow was actually full of power, pushing the entangled dream monsters far away; a frustrated ghost threw a shadow ball angrily, and was firmly blocked by the light wall that opened in time. outer. At the same time, Pichu suddenly increased the intensity of the flash. The dream monster who had lived in the dark mansion for a long time could not bear the sudden bright light. It was dazzled for a while and could only spin around helplessly.
By the time they recovered, the tourists had already disappeared.
At this time, the dog leading the way was running with all his strength.
As a Pokémon that has undergone strict police dog training, when it smells an aura that should not exist in the Misty Mansion, it instantly enters the working mode of chasing criminals. The orange puppy jumped forward like a flame, with a faint light of fire flashing under its feet, making its steps even faster.
It clearly felt that the nasty smell was getting closer and closer. Go through the rotunda, go up the stairs, and then turn to the room on the right——
The moment he ran around the corner, ice fog filled the corridor without warning. Different from the slightly humid mist in the mansion, the boulders mixed with the cold wind hit his face, choking the dog and coughing repeatedly, and he couldn't open his eyes for a while. At the same time, a cold black light broke through the sky, and before Cady Dog had time to stand still, he saw the overwhelming blackness of sharp blades coming towards him, almost as suffocating as a dark cloud.
The puppy's pupils shrank suddenly, and it instinctively stood on the spot, trying to use its small body to protect its unruly owner from harm - but the next second, the sharp blade did not fall on it.
The heavy staff was swung out with the sound of wind, and collided with the incoming sharp claws. There was a heart-wrenching collision sound, and the dangerous evil energy ruthlessly left several hideous cracks on the staff, but the wielder of the weapon did not retreat but advanced.
Katigou saw the man in a light white robe standing in front of him like a mountain, forcibly cutting a passage out of the dark sharp blades in the sky.
Then, the flames burst into flames.
====================
small theater:
Visitors who challenged the Mist Mansion: Wow, you know, I was haunted by a large group of ghosts inside just now. They were smiling at me while crying blood, and I almost fainted in there from fear! !
The weeping dream monster: That electric mouse is so bright that I can’t stop crying QAQ
