Pokemon Dawn

16:08 pm.

"Let's take a rest first, Charizard."

"roar!"

The red fire dragon shook its head repeatedly and immediately moved away from the high-level ball in its owner's hand.

The always majestic Dragon Messenger Xinghai had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and take back the Advanced Ball.

After confirming that the three divine birds had left, Xinghai and Charizard landed on the ground and briefly treated their respective injuries.

Although Charizard was very tired before, he did not suffer any serious injuries. Under the combined effect of the wound medicine and the special snacks to replenish his physical strength, he has become very energetic and can fight again at any time - the overall body of the Pokémon

It is much tougher than humans.

Xinghai's own injuries are not so easy to recover. Even if the severe physical loss caused by blood loss is excluded, the hideous scars on his arms have greatly restricted Xinghai's attack capabilities. At least the feather arrows can no longer be used casually. Targeted

Human wound medicine is not as effective as Pokémon-specific wound medicine. In such a scenario, all it can do is relieve pain and stop bleeding.

The thin bandage was wrapped around Xinghai's hand with ease, playing the most basic protective role. Unfortunately, Xinghai could not carry spare clothes with him during the battle, so he had to continue wearing his clothes, which were stained with blood. Half of the sleeves were cut off, and he could hardly see anymore.

Out of the white prosecutor's uniform.

Because of this, Charizard was unwilling to return to the Poké Ball to rest, for fear that the enemy would take advantage of Xinghai's unpreparedness and hurt its important trainer again.

Fortunately, Xinghai is a person with many years of battlefield experience. He is best at protracted battles and will not collapse from exhaustion now.

Putting away the remaining bandages, Xinghai looked up at the sky.

The most difficult enemy has clearly left, but Xinghai cannot relax at all. He vaguely feels that the matter is not over yet.

——As if the sky has not cleared up yet.

After brushing off the dust on his goggles, Xinghai turned on the communication function - the equipment dedicated to the search department was always of high quality and would not be easily damaged. He tried to send a voice message to Xiaotian and the four people who had not heard from him for a long time. But he waited.

After a while, there was still no reply from the other side.

Xinghai frowned worriedly.

Of course, he knew very well that the person responsible for guarding the last line of defense of the plan would never be a weakling. The madman's voice transmitted through Xiaotian's miniature earphones made the sea of ​​​​stars far away on the other side of the island shudder. For such an enemy,

In other words, the newcomers who have just embarked on the journey for a few months are too weak.

However, the departure of the three divine birds undoubtedly gave Xinghai hope. The angry divine beasts suddenly stopped attacking, and even ignored him for injuring them. Xinghai could think of only one reason - the copied Phoenix King disappeared. Or

Said that the plan to create a Phoenix King failed.

Is it luck? Or did they really stop the Rockets?

Xinghai called up the map of Honglian Island, and the location of the entrance to the underground research institute had been clearly marked by Xiaotian. Just as he got up and planned to go underground to find Xiaotian and the others, the ground shook.

The dry land was cracked. As the heat wave rolled, the blazing firelight illuminated Xinghai's astonished face.

Sixteen ten p.m.

The foot of Honglian volcano.

Too frequent explosions have numbed the hearing of the combatants. What has kept them from making fatal mistakes until now is their years of experience and superb combat skills.

Seiji and his four team members were still walking in circles with Team Rocket.

They are all veteran members of the execution department. Although they have experienced battles lasting more than ten hours more than once, and they are indeed good at defense, the current tepid battle situation is too mechanical and boring.

Therefore, when the urgent instructions came from the sea of ​​​​stars, everyone's somewhat slack spirits suddenly cheered up.

"Leave the battle as quickly as possible and gather at the top of Honglian Volcano."

"learn."

Sensing the urgency in Xinghai's words, Seiji frowned and looked towards the eastern horizon.

When he looked at it, the sight he saw shocked him.

The firelight dyed his pupils into a dazzling golden red. Although the distance was still far away, the rolling heat wave seemed to have arrived in front of him across time and space, causing Seiji's clothes to be soaked in cold sweat in an instant.

"Could it be that...Red Lotus Volcano..."

Seiji no longer restrained his power. The Poke Balls were thrown away one after another, and the Pokémon that was ready to go roared with fighting intent.

"Everyone, follow me and start breaking out with all your strength."

"—at all costs."

16:12 pm.

At the top of Honglian volcano, a gap opened in the earth.

Standing next to the ever-expanding crack, a blood-curdling roar surged up along with the heat wave. Xinghai had never heard such a sound before, and was sure that no beast could make such a terrifying roar.

The flames have not yet burst out of the earth's surface, but the scorching light has already illuminated the entire sky. Amidst the moaning of the earth under their feet, Xinghai can feel that "something" is desperately trying to break through the obstacles of the earth and want to reach the ground.

superior.

Phoenix King...?

No, since the Three Divine Birds have left, the replica of the Phoenix King should not exist.

Xinghai patted the back of his partner comfortingly.

As a fire-type Pokémon, Charizard's feeling at this moment was much stronger than that of the star sea. The aura coming from the ground made it tremble unconsciously, and even the flame on the tip of its tail would tremble. If it weren't for its...

The trainer is here, and it has already followed its instinct and stayed away from him.

Xinghai has sent an emergency gathering order to everyone involved in this operation. There is still no news about Team Ayakawa, whose whereabouts were unknown a few hours ago. Team Suhai is still assisting with rescue work in Honglian City. It may be difficult to arrive in time.

Come. Since Seiji's team is relatively close, it won't take long to reach the top of the mountain after breaking through.

However, Xinghai did not intend to wait until Team Seiji arrived before taking action. The situation in front of him no longer allowed him to delay.

Regardless of whether what is shaking the earth is a replica of Ho-oh, it must be suppressed now. If the scope of the earthquake spreads to the city, the people who have just been rescued will immediately fall into the haze of disaster again. This is

Xinghai is absolutely unacceptable.

The young man stepped forward in the light of the fire, but stopped after taking only a few steps.

Xinghai turned around, facing away from the crack, and looked at the people in uniforms coming from all directions.

He was surrounded.

Due to the excessive consumption in the past, he could no longer maintain a wide range of waveguide detection. The roar of the earth covered everything up. When he noticed something strange, there were already countless people standing behind him and watching eagerly.

Charizard spit out high-temperature flames. The encirclement temporarily retreated for a moment, but immediately surrounded them again. Pokémon jumped out of the red and white balls one after another, confronting the powerful Charizard fearlessly.

"I won't let you hinder the birth of the gods."

Xinghai heard someone murmuring to himself.

None of the Team Rocket members who gathered around them were powerful. They were just the lowest level members in black. They knew very well that they could not stand up to the arrogant first-level investigator Kamu Hoshikai - and they never thought that "

confrontation".

These Team Rocket soldiers who gathered here spontaneously do not even have a recognized leader. They only know that they must stop all actions of Shenyu Xinghai now.

Until the Phoenix King comes.

Xinghai saw abnormal fanaticism in the eyes of these people. Unlike the Rockets he had come into contact with in the past, these people were crazier, more willing to risk their lives, and more aggressive - almost like believers in evil doctrines.

The Charizard standing in front and its trainer both realized how difficult things were.

Having just experienced a big battle, they really don't have the extra time or energy to fight a war of attrition with these endless soldiers. And...if they are the ones who fought with Seiji's team before and are now thrown away from the battle, why?

Instead, they arrived here before Seiji?

After a quick glance around, Xinghai temporarily suppressed the ominous premonition in his heart and prepared for battle.

We can no longer waste energy, we must solve them in the simplest way.

The fanatical believers of Team Rocket could no longer hold back the fighting spirit coming from their souls. One of them took the lead and took a small step forward.

The next second, the sword light flew.

Dozens of Team Rocket members who were staring closely at the sea of ​​​​stars saw blood everywhere at the same time.

The dancing silver light was so fast that their brains fell into a brief blank. The elf ball that was ready to go was chopped into pieces, and the sword wind left no room for it, including the trainer's arms, waist, abdomen and chest.

They were torn apart together, and blood spilled to the ground like a spurt.

There were continuous sounds of falling to the ground. The injured let out pitiful howls, and in the center of the crystal blue electric light, the dance of the sword continued.

Some people looked at the sea of ​​​​stars in front of them with anger and fear, but found that the other person's expression was equally surprised.

The dance of the blade was like a whirlwind. Several people closest to Xinghai fell into a pool of blood, and the encirclement was forcefully torn open.

The instigator stopped beside Xinghai.

"Sorry, I'm late."

The bleeding tip of the knife was pointed at the Team Rocket fanatic in front of her. The girl did not look back, and only the figure of the enemy was reflected in her eyes.

"The Artificial Phoenix King project has been successfully terminated. Xiaotian and the others are not in danger, and I have placed them in a safe place." The visitor succinctly explained the information that the young investigator behind him wanted to know most, and that was also the most reassuring to him.

Feeling the scorching heat wave coming from behind, she understood all the current situation. The heavy metal knife was tightly held, reflecting a cold light that was inconsistent with the flames.

"Mr. Xinghai, let me clear the way for you."
