Pokemon Dawn
No.177 When the night of despair comes
12:05 noon.
Amid the shaking of the earth, the dormant Honglian volcano emitted a low hum.
This dormant volcano is far from reaching the end of its life, and the endless heat in the hot springs is the best proof. Under the Honglian volcano area, hot magma is still flowing, turning the stone walls into a blood red color.
On the bank of the magma lake, a strange dark gray underground building was embedded in the rock wall. Only a long and narrow corridor extended to the center of the magma lake. And where the corridor interrupted, the too dazzling golden color burned the air like the sun, making the
The entire area became invisible to the naked eye.
Building interior, control room.
"Hee, it finally started."
The man in front of the console let out a hoarse laugh. He looked to be over fifty years old. There were thick dark circles under his eyes behind his lenses, and his black hair was mixed with a lot of silver. The white coat draped on his body had long since changed.
It was dirty and had lost its original color.
On the screen, a blood-red countdown jumped from four hours to three hours and fifty-five minutes, projecting the shape of numbers on the researcher's lenses.
"Dr. Apero Conti, the institute's alert status has been raised to the highest level, and there is nothing unusual at the moment."
The soldier in Team Rocket uniform bowed and said.
"Very well, very well, let me enjoy this gathering of gods." The old scientist named Aperrokanti spoke in a strange tone, with a twisted smile on his face.
"If someone interrupts my movie watching, I have to ask you to take care of it, Ishihara-kun." Aperrokanti walked a few steps crookedly and patted the person in front of him on the shoulder.
"Your orders are obeyed, Doctor."
The young man responded in a deep voice and bowed deeply to the doctor with respect.
He looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, with sharp eyes and a cold expression. A black headband with gold patterns was tied in front of his forehead, and a few strands of silver hair stuck up from the edge of the headband.
Although the height and figure are no different from those of an adult, the boy's face and facial features are quite young - of course, no one would think that the boy wearing the special blood-colored uniform is just an ordinary boy.
That is the uniform of the Freedom Action Team, the core member of Team Rocket with extremely strong combat capabilities.
There is no doubt that this young man named Ishihara Michiya is the person in charge of the deployment of force in the entire institute.
Seeing the weird scientist in a "white" coat sitting in front of the computer laughing and no longer talking to each other, Doya quietly left the console and walked into the corridor beside him.
"Mr. Ishihara." Seeing the young man in blood-colored uniform approaching, the ordinary team members who were working on him saluted one after another.
"Is there anything abnormal?" Doya asked.
"Well..." one of them said hesitantly, "I thought I saw a figure on the surveillance video just now, but it disappeared in a flash, and I can't find it by replaying the video..."
They knew very well that Michiya Ishihara of the Freedom Action Team was strict in his conduct, and they did not dare to hide even such seemingly dazzling details from him.
"Let me take a look." Dao Ya stepped forward to check the surveillance video.
Repeatedly playing the part where people were said to be human figures, Doya did not see anything unusual in the empty corridor. When it was played for the third time, a subtle change in the light in the picture within a certain second caught his attention.
This is……
After replaying it again, Dao Ya suddenly understood.
A section of the video was overwritten in the middle, and the material used was probably an image recorded dozens of minutes ago, so there is a weak sense of discontinuity.
There is no doubt that there are intruders.
After understanding everything in his mind, Dao Ya calmed down and said, "No problem. Continue to monitor and don't relax for a second."
"yes!"
Everyone returned to the screen again. Not far away, the sudden laughter from Dr. Aperro Canti did not make this group of well-trained people look away.
"Come on, come on, the show is finally about to begin!" the mad scientist shouted sharply, "Come on, gods above, accept the sacrifices you deserve, and please use your supreme divine power to destroy this
The island shattered—"
Dao Ya lowered his head, his bangs covering up the anger and sadness in his eyes.
These lunatics!
Turning his gaze to the surveillance video, Doya closed his eyes.
Please, unidentified intruder.
Please be sure to... stop us!
====================
12:11 noon.
The sky has turned completely dark. A chilling ink-colored disk hangs high in the sky, with only the faint halo around it providing heat to the earth.
Talk of "something in the sun" soon ended.
——Because gradually dark clouds surged into the sky, covering the black sun hazy.
"What are you doing? Didn't you say it's sunny today?"
"It's cloudy at this time..."
"Hey, does anyone have a Pokémon that can make the weather clear?"
"Don't be ridiculous, Pokémon's weather skills have a very small range of influence. Are you an outsider?"
The crowd became noisy again, and many people put down their mobile phones in frustration. The photographers were also extremely annoyed.
During this period, Saya and her group had arrived at the deserted alley where Team Ayakawa had been.
Empty.
There are traces of battle. Sure enough, we were also attacked by the enemy?
Xiaotian looked at the traces left by his skills on the wall and the ground, frowning slightly.
"This is..." Xiaojie, who always has bright eyes, picked up the watch-shaped object that fell in the corner, "It is indeed an energy detector that every executive wears, right?"
The other three people also came over and looked at the familiar equipment in Xiaojie's hands.
"There are blood stains." Xiaoye saw a few wisps of dark red stained on the watch strap at a glance.
The four of them looked at each other and saw the same heavy meaning in each other's eyes.
With traces of battle, dropped energy detectors and bloodstains, this is not exactly relaxing information.
Xiaotian turned on the communication function of the goggles and reported the situation to the other teams. Xiaoye raised her head again and looked at the dark cloud-covered sky.
The halo of the sun becomes blurry and the traces in it are unclear.
Why did you say that just now?
When asked by her companion, Xiaoye could not give an answer because she wanted to ask the same question herself.
What does "coming soon" mean?
have no idea.
So why do you say that?
have no idea.
For Xiaoye, who acts rationally, what she just did was simply unreasonable. It was not something she would do.
Xiaoye had a strange feeling. The person who said those words seemed to be another "self" in her body - including the blurry but heavy data flow passing through her mind, that was not the information she had.
It's "someone else" hidden deep within the body.
It was the first time since she came to this world that she felt such a strong and depressing sense of disobedience.
The feeling of disobedience towards the existence called "self".
Twelve: fourteen noon.
"...At present, the enemy has shown its defeat, and the battle is expected to end within ten minutes."
"Received, please continue fighting."
After ending the call, Xinghai immediately issued the instruction of "Dragon God Dive". Kuailong carried his trainer and sprinted at high speed. The blue dragon energy turned into a suit, forcing the steel bird on the opposite side to retreat step by step.
The Suhai team did not encounter the reinforcements of the Rockets, which was probably the only good news.
Xiaotian and the others found traces of the Ayakawa team's battle, but the entire team disappeared without a trace; Seiji-senpai's team encountered reinforcements from Team Rocket and is still fighting hard.
As for my own side——
The Rockets were cunningly fighting and retreating, obviously stalling for time, which made Xinghai frown deeply.
Even if they use the most laborious crowd tactics, they still have to hold back the league, which further confirms the Rockets' upcoming big move.
However, the most laborious human wave tactics cannot be effective forever.
"Dragon Wave!"
The dragon let out a deafening roar, and the giant green dragon radiated brightly, turning into a monster that devoured the enemy.
As we all know, Dragon Wave is the skill that Dragon Messenger Xinghai is best at. Even though they tried their best to avoid it, many people were still involved in it along with their Pokémon. The light and shadow of the dragon advanced all the way, drawing a dazzling trajectory line.
All the dark clouds in the sky have been dispersed.
Dragon Messenger has always been the strongest main attacker, so how can it be easily blocked by the human sea tactics - the enemy's troops are running low.
"Hehehe." Swift, who was in a precarious position, suddenly laughed.
"Stop chasing after me, respected Mr. Shenyu Xinghai." The senior cadre in purple opened his arms and smiled evilly, "Your real opponent is here."
As his words fell, the sky suddenly turned pitch black.
Thick dark clouds completely blocked the faint halo of the sun. The earth was plunged into darkness, and only the street lights in the city that turned on at the right time opened up a small field of vision for people.
This is a darkness more desperate than the night. There is no sun, no stars, no bright moon - only artificial light sources seem powerless.
Under the night-like sky, the blazing light in the distance made Xinghai look uncontrollably shocked.
In this thick darkness, that little bit of fire looked extremely dazzling, even creepy.
Dazzling and dangerous.
The silver-haired first-level investigator murmured softly.
"...Flame Bird?"
====================
small theater:
System prompt: The world boss [Flaming Bird] has been refreshed on Red Lotus Island. [Lightning Bird] and [Frozen Bird] will be randomly refreshed within three minutes. Players are requested to form a team appropriately to reduce casualties and fight monsters with caution.

Yoshiko Ayakawa [lv.55]: It must be...
Xingyuye[lv.27]: Entered the wrong dungeon... (face covering)
Shenyu Xinghai [lv.95]: Hey, everyone is not here, then I will just do it alone for a while?
