Pokemon Dawn

Quartz League Player Village.

The sudden explosion caused everyone to fall into a brief panic. Thick smoke billowed from at least five locations, and panicked tourists huddled together in the middle of the road, almost causing a stampede.

If the police and enforcers originally deployed in the contestant village were there, they would be able to quickly control the order. However, since Team Rocket had just snatched the contestants' Pokémon at noon, most of the police were searching all night in the Silver Mountains.

With no trace of Team Rocket, it will be impossible to get back to the player village for a while.

The large screens placed throughout the player village lit up one by one, showing the figure of a man wearing a naughty thunder bomb mask. The weird sound processed by the voice changer resounded in every corner of the player village.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the biggest fireworks show of the year." The man's expression hidden under the mask was unclear, and the naughty bomb on the mask grinned at the camera, smiling brightly and stiffly.

The man held out five fingers and said, "Five minutes. Every five minutes, I will light a firework. In half an hour, the biggest fireworks will bloom in the quartz sports field." He stretched out his arms exaggeratedly, gesticulating like a child.

The onomatopoeia of "boom" was pronounced like a child. But at this moment, no one thought his behavior was funny. Everyone who understood the implication of his words felt chills all over.

"Stay tuned - the Fireworks Festival of the Divine Crow."

When the Quartz League player village was in chaos because of the explosive declaration released by someone suspected of being a terrorist, the top 16 players in the Thousand Needle Islands Hotel did not know anything about it.

After the white light of the projector went out, the banquet hall fell into darkness. But this state only lasted a few seconds - the first thing to light up was countless blue will-o'-wisps. The beating flames hovered under the control of Ghost Stone.

Above everyone's heads, although the color was slightly weird, it illuminated the banquet hall enough to reveal the figures of Pokémon coming from all directions.

The next second, the golden electric light also rose. The electric shock beast released a wave of electric current, neatly stunning the first Ratto that pounced on, and the other Pokémon surrounding it retreated in fear upon seeing this.

A few steps.

Xiaotian used the light of the will-o'-the-wisps in the sky to quickly look around at the situation. Pokémon seemed to be pouring out from the inner room on the first floor. There were a lot of them. Fortunately, most of them were common Pokémon with mediocre combat capabilities such as Rattata and Arbor Snake.

Kamu. After using his electric discharge to temporarily clear a clearing, he immediately shouted to the others, "Go upstairs!"

The ghostly will-o'-the-wisp paused for a moment, then surged spiritually towards the other end of the house. The flames connected end to end, forming a path of light, pointing clearly towards the spiral staircase.

After cooperating with Xiaotian to give a series of instructions, Xiaoye grabbed a handful of the golden retriever siblings and took the lead in running.

Everyone who was stunned by the sudden situation came to their senses one after another. Knowing that now was not the time to be stunned, they hurriedly ran towards the stairs illuminated by the will-o'-the-wisps. Of course, the Rada were not willing to let them go like this, and they were about to

They pounced on them, and the beams of electric light and spiritual power intercepted them at the same time.

Xiaotian glanced at Bai Lan, who was also standing there, and said nothing. The coverage area of ​​the electric shock quietly converged into a semicircle. Elureduo's sword light immediately filled the other half of the gap, and the two people's

The Pokémon exploded with its strongest attack power in an instant. Fire burst out and beams of light flew across, dragging down all the attackers.

The remaining six people who had already ascended the spiral staircase looked at each other in the dim light and were not in a hurry to throw the Poké Ball in their hands.

Only the trainers who reached the top sixteen were invited to this dinner, and even the weakest among them had enough judgment. They could see that the two people below were buying time for the others to escape, and in

In such a crowded and unclear environment, they may accidentally injure their teammates if they take action hastily.

The Ghost Stone, which controlled the phosphorus fire, hung erratically above Xiaoye's head, with a leisurely look that didn't know what tension was. And its trainer stood at the front, staring at the scene at the bottom of the stairs.

Seeing that everyone had climbed up to the second floor, Xiaotian fought and retreated. When he turned around, he saw the young man in white kimono still standing there, showing no intention of retreating.

Xiaoye saw Xiaotian pause in his footsteps from a distance, and the two seemed to be talking to each other. Immediately, the super-powerful colored light suddenly spread, and the strong impact shocked all the Pokémon and even Albo almost jumped.

They collided with each other and tied a knot. Xiaotian took the opportunity to escape, and the electric beast was quickly replaced by the fire-breathing dragon. The latter casually carried the trainer's collar and suddenly flew to the second floor. The blazing fireball flew from

Yan spit out his mouth and hit the stairs, completely breaking the spiral staircase in two or three strokes, creating a cloud of smoke and dust.

At the same time, the explosion below also climbed to its peak. Elledo flew high in the firelight in a thrilling manner, holding it and its trainer out of the encirclement with the force of his mind, and landed among the people on the second floor.

After the latter returned, the will-o'-the-wisps that led the way were immediately extinguished, leaving only a few scattered ones in the sky, dimly illuminating the surroundings. Everyone held their breath for a moment, and relaxed after confirming that the noisy Pokémon below could not climb to the second floor.

tone.

After temporarily escaping from the Pokémon circle and finding a safe corner on the second floor, Xiaoling finally couldn't help but whisper, "What on earth is going on?"

"After listening to what that guy said just now, don't you know? Terrorist attack." Yang Zhen frowned, his tone was still a little impatient as usual, but his expression hidden in the darkness was a little weird. Xiaoye seemed to have something.

She turned around and glanced at him. Under the blue firelight, the gray-haired boy's face was blurred, and the subtle changes in his expression were also melted into the darkness.

Hearing Yang Zhen's answer, the boys and girls immediately looked at each other.

Maybe people used to think that this word was far away from them, but after the Miyuan bombing a few days ago, people were more or less worried that such a tragedy would happen to them next time. And the dark

The crow head is the symbol of the terrorists in the Mihara bombing. The naughty thunder bomb mask mentioned just now also mentioned the "divine crow". Almost everyone associates the two together.

When someone blurted out and speculated, "Could it be a continuation of the Mihara bombing?" Tongye, who had been silent before, shook his head, "No. Today's incident and the Mihara bombing should not have been done by the same person."

After seeing his best friend Kyoji being taken away in a coma, Kiriha was at a loss for a moment. But after all, he was an experienced free trainer, and after carefully observing the enemy, he realized some key issues.

"The messenger of the Lord - let's first identify him as the man with the naughty thunder bomb mask. He specially invited us here because he wanted to make us sleepy with food mixed with sleeping pills. This shows that he thinks that we sixteen

Strong players may hinder his actions." Tongye was about to continue talking, but when he saw seven faces staring at his own face under the faint blue light, his originally relatively confident tone gave up for some reason.

"Uh...well, can we change the lighting method..."

"..." Xiaoye, the switcher of the will-o'-the-wisp lighting lamp, failed to keep up with Tongye's magical turn, and suddenly looked in a daze, "Huh, I'm sorry, I only know this..."

Seeing that the topic was about to go off the rails, Xiaotian wordlessly stretched out his hand to interrupt the meaningless entanglement, asking Yan to use the flame at the tip of his tail instead of the will-o'-the-wisp with its own terrifying effect, and continued what he just said, "Can the criminals in the Miyuan bombing case and

The investigators confront us head-on. If they were them, they wouldn’t have to deal with non-professional trainers like us."

"That's right." The young man with long dark green hair nodded in agreement, and his thoughts finally got back on track, "Although the Pokémon that surrounded us just now are large in number, they are not strong. I think they just want to trap us temporarily.

"Kyoji Soma was of noble origin, so the villains who kidnapped him would not cause trouble and harm his life.

"The previous explosion was very close to us, and their blast targets should be other buildings in the contestants' village." Only at this time, the little genius would change his taciturn style, "Presumably the police will subdue the rioters immediately -

—If they hadn’t chosen today to do it.”

After the two of them came to the conclusion one by one, everyone fell into a brief silence. Even if some people were really ignorant and had not heard about any good things Team Rocket did at noon, they were already aware of it after Kyōji's popular science when they entered.

You know it all. Since Team Rocket fled to the Silver Mountains with the players' Pokémon, almost all police forces were in the mountains looking for Team Rocket and the two trainers who were chasing them. There were very few people left in the player village.

And the contestant village is very far away from Mihara City. By the time the four major members of the city are transferred here, it may be too late.

The young man in a pure white kimono wiped away the dust on his clothes and was the first to express his stance: "I want to break through."

The others did not hesitate too much and nodded to unite the front - no trainer could bear to just sit there and wait for rescue at this time.

After reaching an agreement, everyone immediately began to look for a way to break out of the hotel. The banquet hall on the first floor was already filled with enemy Pokémon and was not suitable for fighting, not to mention that all the doors and windows had been sealed with iron plates.

If you want to get out, I'm afraid you can only find a way from the floor above.

Bai Lan signaled Eluredo to use teleportation, and the move failed as expected. As early as when the waveguide detection failed, Xiaoye discovered that this hotel was set up with energy wave interference that is often turned on in important buildings, whether it is teleportation or various types of

Energy detection techniques are difficult to work. This feeling of detection failure is very familiar, Xiaoye has been accustomed to it since she was at the Alliance National Library.

The impatient Yang Zhen didn't say a word, and released Pokémon to bombard the wall violently, and then was dumbfounded by the familiar white light flowing through the barrier.

"Automatic defense device?" Yang Zhen was furious, "They are really not afraid of blowing up the power system of the contestants' village."

Automatic defense devices are generally used to protect the auditorium during competitions. They consume a lot of power, but their defense performance is very reliable and is difficult to defeat when there is sufficient power. Yang Zhen does not have the power supply for the entire player village.

He was not interested in doing anything, so he had no choice but to stop the violent bombing angrily.

Since forcefully breaking through the wall wouldn't work, Yangzhen simply released all six of his ghost-type Pokémon and sent them invisible to look for a way around. However, everyone did not fully place their hope in this and continued to walk around on the second floor of the hotel.

, looking for a breakthrough.

The person who arranged this malicious dinner obviously wanted to keep them here for a long time. There were still many Pokémon ambushing them on the second floor. As soon as they entered the corridor, a large group of Sonic Bats came under the cover of darkness.

.

However, this time they had no chance to surround everyone again. Almost at the same time as the door was pushed open and the sound of flapping wings sounded, Tongye quickly threw two Poke Balls. The two Pokémon that appeared were both

Without him having to give orders, he executed the most suitable moves with ease and skill. Big Butterfly spread sleeping powder all over the sky, and Tropical Dragon whipped up strong winds. When the storm with glittering light spots passed, all the Pokémon in the entire corridor were in full order.

Lying on the ground, the red carpet suddenly turned into a bat carpet, and the visual effect was extremely shocking.

Everyone was silent and their eyes met the innocent and harmless face of the dark green long-haired boy. They could only secretly be glad that there was no doubles competition in the Quartz League - otherwise it would be really hard to encounter this kind of AOE hypnosis that can be cast instantly at any time without any charge time.

Hard to escape.

After quickly exploring the second floor of the hotel, Yang Zhen's six ghost-type Pokémon also returned in time and reported the same results to their owners.

Although this group of unidentified bombers are not as powerful as the instigators of the Miyuan bombing, they did not make any mistakes on the most basic issues. The entire hotel was sealed by falling iron plates and ubiquitous automatic defense devices.

Damn it, there is no way out.

Just when everyone was in trouble, a hand was raised cautiously.

Being stared at by seven people at the same time, the seventh seed Akita Saki, who had never spoken and had no sense of presence, calmed down somewhat awkwardly, opened the laptop he had been holding in his arms, and turned the screen to the opposite side.

"Well... I know a way out." The girl said softly.
