Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Chapter 668 Flower Rock Monster

"I'm going to jump down now, Miss Xiaojuer...Xiaojuer, you just wait here."

Yang Ming thought about it and decided to change the way he addressed Xiao Juer. After this experience, the two of them could be considered friends for life and death, and there was no need to be as distant as before.

Xiao Juer looked at Yang Ming, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but she nodded, "Be careful."

Yang Ming took a deep breath and jumped. The hole looked bottomless, but it was only a few meters high. After landing, Yang Ming immediately released Magneto, using Flash to illuminate himself.

"The brightness is so low? Strange, it wasn't like this just now in the stairwell."

Yang Ming observed his surroundings and found that even under the illumination of Magneto, he could only see clearly within a radius of two or three meters.

"This feeling is just like being in the legendary 'spiritual world,'" Yang Ming shuddered. "Luckily, I didn't call Xiao Juer down. She's unable to move now and would only be a burden in this environment."

The enemies on the third floor have been cleared out, so Xiao Juer should be safe there.

Yang Ming and Magneto were exploring the second floor back to back when he accidentally stepped on a hard object, which made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy. He almost reflexively ordered Magneto to attack.

"Is this... a shoe?"

Yang Ming breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the shoe. It was a small purple slipper with a cute pattern embroidered on it.

"These are Aserola's shoes. They should have been left behind when she was abducted to the second floor." Yang Ming placed the shoes in front of him and looked at them carefully.

"There's a bit of warmth on the shoe surface. It seems Acerola was just captured here."

This is definitely good news, which means that he still has hope of rescuing Acerola safely.

Yang Ming continued to move forward and sure enough, he found another shoe.

"It seems that Aserola is just ahead." Yang Ming gained confidence and continued to move forward.

Finally, he came to a room with a sign that said "Manager's Office".

"Is this right here..."

Yang Ming took a deep breath and slammed the door open. Behind the door, a petite figure was waving at him.

"Great, you finally came to save me!"

It was Acerola, now barefoot, standing far away on the other side of the room.

"Just now, when I was exploring the room, I was attacked by a dark shadow. After waking up, I came to this room. Forget about it for now, just take me away from here."

Yang Ming did not approach rashly, but stood at a distance and asked coldly: "Where is your armband?"

"Armlet?" Acerola was a little confused, then she looked at her hands and suddenly realized, "You mean that ugly bracelet? I threw it away."

"Would Her Royal Highness throw away her precious keepsake? How ridiculous," Yang Ming said coldly, "Self-destruct Magneto, use the Cannon Beam!"

The brilliant silver light cannon shot straight towards Acerola, but when it was about to hit the target, it suddenly turned and hit the shadow behind Acerola.

Following a shrill scream, Acerola's eyes fluttered and she collapsed to the ground, and the Pokémon controlling her from behind also emerged from the shadows - it was a Grunt!

Legend has it that 108 souls are sealed in the keystone at the bottom of the Flower Rock Monster. These souls are extremely evil and will manipulate nearby creatures.

Now that the flower rock monster saw that it was exposed, it let out a sharp roar, its body began to twist, and a strange light faintly shone from the wedge stone. Dozens of ghosts flew out from the wedge stone and rushed straight towards Yang Ming.

"Magneton, use Discharge!"

Powerful electric shocks spread outward. Although the Rock Flower Monster possessed 108 souls, its discharges were indiscriminate and widespread. For a moment, countless shrill screams echoed through the room as the ghosts dissipated after being struck by the current. But the Rock Flower Monster did not give up. Its body swelled, and with a deafening roar, it condensed even more ghosts, even more numerous than before, and charged towards Yang Ming and Magneto with all its might.

"Don't know how to live or die, Magneto explodes and discharges again."

This time, the Huayan monster was even more seriously injured. The huge spiritual body that was originally composed of hundreds of souls suddenly became listless and was about to dissipate at any time.

Just as Yang Ming was about to press on with his victory, he suddenly discovered that his self-destructing Magneto couldn't discharge?!

"Damn, is it because of the oppressive characteristics?" Yang Ming's face suddenly became gloomy.

Pressure trait: This trait will accelerate the consumption of Pokémon's physical strength, making them unable to continue using their original moves.

At this moment, another dark shadow emerged from behind and rushed towards Yang Ming. It was the Dieshi Coffin that had been repelled earlier! Now it wanted to avenge the arrow shot on the third floor and wanted to attack Yang Ming from both sides with the Flower Rock Monster to kill him!

At this time, Magneto was unable to use discharge continuously and was unable to deal with the sneak attack of the Die-Lost Coffin. At this critical moment, another figure appeared behind the Die-Lost Coffin.

It was Xiao Juer. She was still worried about Yang Ming, so she forced herself to go upstairs.

"Electric Spider, use Thunder!"

With a powerful thunder from the electric spider, the Dieshi Coffin completely lost its combat capability and dissipated.

The flower rock monster also took advantage of the chaos to escape and disappeared without a trace.

"You are too reckless!" Yang Ming looked at Xiao Juer sternly. Because of the attack by the Dieshi Coffin before, Xiao Juer's body has not recovered yet. She suffered a lot along the way, and there were a lot of bruises on her thighs and arms.

Xiao Juer lowered her head a little aggrievedly, "I...I'm worried about you."

Yang Ming felt a warm feeling in his heart, but he still said stubbornly, "You are the spokesperson for our company. If you are accidentally disfigured, all our investment will be gone! And if something happens to you, I won't be able to explain to Feng Lu!"

"I'm sorry, I won't dare to do it again next time," Xiao Juer said this, but from her eyes that didn't dare to look directly at Yang Ming, it was clear that she was saying "I will dare to do it again next time."

"Forget it, let's just go and see Acerola."

After defeating the two ghost Pokémon, Acerola finally woke up.

"Where... am I?" Acerola asked blankly.

Xiao Juer was about to answer but was stopped by Yang Ming.

"Tell me what happened before, then it will be easier for us to answer your questions."

"I... I heard that people kept going missing near the abandoned supermarket, so I came to check it out. But I lost consciousness as soon as I got to the second floor." Aserola held her head in pain, as if she was recalling something.

"And my important armband disappeared?! It's the symbol of the ancient Alola Dynasty, wuwuwu..."

After listening to Aserola's story, Yang Ming understood everything instantly.

"Sure enough, Acerola was controlled from the very beginning. The entire invitation incident was a scam from the beginning!"
