Chapter 279 Daigo: Am I too late?
Three men dressed in old-fashioned clothing were peering out from the blasted hole. Their attire was very similar to that of the Meteor Dwellers that Higana usually wore, which is why Zeki was able to recognize them.
His subsequent shock and disbelief confirmed this to him.
"You are... Jinya, Renza, and Pengpeng?!"
"What are you doing here!"
Upon hearing this, the one among the three arriving Meteor Dwellers jumped down from the hole. He had a square face...
The man with the thick beard spoke:
'
Why can't we be here?
"Or rather, Higana, why are you here, you hidden successor?!"
"Jinya! Don't slander me!" Higana glared, furious. "Who's hiding? I... I haven't been hiding at all! It's just that you haven't been able to find me!"
Jinya: "Now that I've found you, come back to Meteor Village with me."
Higana replied matter-of-factly, "I won't go back! At least not with you!"
Jinya:
He sneered, "You used all your courage on stealing all the Mega Evolution Stones from the clan, didn't you? Do you know how heinous your actions were? All the Mega Evolution Stones are gone, and Granny Dragon was furious!"
"I still don't understand why you stole the Super Stones?!"
Higana puffed out her cheeks and said, "Of course, it's for Lord Dragon God!"
Jinya: "The Super Stone has been taken, but what about Lord Dragon God?"
Higana hesitated, then said, "Up in the sky...?"
Jinya laughed in exasperation: "Does the Dragon God follow you around all the time, since he's not in the heavens?"
Higana was about to nod and say, "That's how it is!"
"Looks like you're still stubborn!" But Jinya spoke first in a cold voice, gripping the Poké Ball. He exchanged a glance with the other two Meteor Dwellers who jumped down, and said, "Take her back!"
"Let me see how strong you are now, Higanbana," said Pompom, scratching his head and grabbing a Poké Ball. He was a slightly chubby, unassuming guy.
Lianzuo didn't say anything, but simply cooperated with them in releasing the Pokémon.
In an instant, three white lights flashed, and three identical Pokémon appeared at the front of the laboratory. They had large, red eyes like insect compound eyes, prismatic flutter wings, and green bodies.
They are three desert dragonflies.
At this moment, they were following the trainer's gaze intently, staring fiercely at Higanbana.
The Salamence and Roaring Moon glared back defiantly.
These floating earth dragons, known as "desert spirits," are the wild Pokémon that people traveling in desert areas most want to avoid. Legend has it that they sing songs with beautiful, girlish voices that steal people's minds and drag them into sandstorms, where they perish.
"Higana, are you coming back to Meteor Village with us?" Jinya asked again.
Higana decisively stepped back and cried out, "Ze Shu, help me!"
"If I go with this guy, our Super Stones will definitely be confiscated! Those are your Super Stones too!"
Upon hearing this, Jinya looked at Zeshu: "You... are the one who tricked Xijiana into stealing our entire clan's Super Stone?!"
Ze Shu: "...
No, it was all that idiot Higana's idea.
But we've already taken it.
Ze Shu did not deny it outright.
He frowned, glancing at the three Flygons in front of the Meteor Dwellers, and said, "A battle is fine, but this is underground. I advise you to use Ground-type moves less often, otherwise..."
Jinya: "Desert Dragonfly, Earthquake!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"
The desert dragonfly in front of him displayed its long, beautiful song.
The ground trembled slightly as it flapped its wings.
Ze Shu: "Heh."
That's really rebellious.
"I know this Meteor Falls area much better than you do. We're also much more confident than you about whether or not to use Ground-type moves!" Jinya scoffed, showing no kindness towards Zeshu, this outsider. "You thief, you have no right to remind us!"
"Desert Dragonfly, go all out!"
"Buzz buzz buzz~~~"
Upon hearing this, the other two desert dragonflies began to croak loudly, and the tremors on the ground suddenly turned into a violent shaking that was unbearable. Some rocks and dust fell from the hole.
During the earthquake, the first baby dragon to fall down cried out in alarm.
Feeling the trembling ground, it wanted to hug the little leg in front of it, but when it rushed forward and opened its little arms, it was hit by the "hard lump" on Xijiana's right calf and was left dazed.
In a daze, swaying its body, Baby Dragon suddenly spotted the array of teeth. Its eyes lit up, and it quickly staggered over to the three desert dragonflies, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
After letting out a sigh of relief, Baby Dragon put his hands on his hips.
"Boom...boom boom boom!"
Yes, yes, just beat them up!!
The four of us are "teammates," so let's not disturb each other's territory!
I was feeling fortunate.
Baby Dragon suddenly felt a chill coming from above, making it shiver.
The tremors caused by the desert dragonfly also disappeared slowly and inexplicably.
It looked on curiously and saw that the three desert dragonflies that had been chirping and trembling just moments before were now shivering in the cold wind, their thin, green wings even covered in frost.
The desert dragonflies were wary of their surroundings, acting nervously, yet they remained oblivious to the presence of the rising cold wind.
In this situation, it's naturally unacceptable to allow the accumulated energy to cause an earthquake.
Who does this earthquake hit? It can't hit the air, can it?
"Fortress?!" Baby Dragon was stunned.
"What's going on?!" The Meteor Dwellers trio were also stunned.
He didn't even realize how the attack was made; the three desert dragonflies were shivering from the cold.
At that moment, Ze Shu said softly, "Control them."
"Whoa~~"
Amidst the blowing cold wind, a snow-white and ghostly figure flashed by, and three wisps of "ice breath" condensed above the heads of the three desert dragonflies, then poured down upon them!
Frost condensed on the red compound eyes of the desert dragonflies; their wings were frozen stiff, and they tried to break free but were unable to move due to the cold...
In the blink of an eye, three desert dragonfly ice sculptures appeared on site.
The three desert dragonflies didn't even have time to resist; the frozen dragon's face simultaneously contorted with astonishment.
"Hoohoohoohoo one"
Higanbana's Salamence was pointing its dragon finger, mocking the three ice sculptures.
It had already dragged Roaring Moon far away.
"This..." Jinya's eyes widened as he looked at Sawaki in disbelief, then at the snow fairy who had suddenly appeared beside him, leaning against his shoulder. "This is your doing..."
'
Ze Shu sighed and said, "I already told you, try not to use Ground-type moves."
This is underground at Meteor Falls. The terrain at Meteor Falls is already unstable. If these three Desert Dragonflies were to unleash their earthquake, Team Lava's base would have no chance of remaining intact.
That would probably bury everyone on site, including those floating bubbles that were just rescued.
These meteor people are really something...
"You can get out now."
Ze Shu didn't give the three of them a friendly look.
"As for Higanbana, I will be going to your Meteor Village with her soon. I hope you won't be unwelcoming."
Zhenya's face turned pale and then flushed: "We can still fight..."
Ze Shu said calmly, "If you don't get out of here, your desert dragonflies won't have time to thaw, and you can forget about flying again... They might even lose their wings and become wingless dragonflies."
The snow fairy puffed out her chest ladylike manners and cried out in support, "Waaah!"
That's right! That's right!
Pompom, standing next to Jinya, glanced worriedly at its Desert Dragonfly and hesitated, "Jinya, should we...?"
Zhenya gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"
He gave Ze Shu a deep look: "You didn't lie about your promise to take her to Meteor Village. The Super Stone is a treasure that we Meteor Clan have been searching for for generations!"
Before Ze Shu could speak, the three of them retrieved the desert dragonflies that had been frozen into ice sculptures, nimbly leaped back into the hole, and disappeared from Ze Shu's sight in the blink of an eye.
The lava team's laboratory has returned to calm.
But Baby Dragon was stunned.
"Fort...fort?!"
You've left... but I haven't?!
Why didn't you take me with you?!
It stared dumbfounded at the hole through which the three Meteor Dwellers had left. It hopped on its little feet, but only managed to jump ten centimeters. To it, the hole in the ceiling was as high as the sky.
Baby Dragon's desire to grow wings and fly has never been stronger than it has been at this moment.
"Looks like you, little guy, were brought by those three?" Ze Shu looked at Baby Dragon and said with amusement.
"Boom boom boom?!"
Baby Dragon was so frightened that he took a step back, but tripped over a stone that had fallen from the ceiling during the earthquake and fell heavily to the ground. He felt a sharp pain on his bottom, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Ze Shu shook his head, simply letting Er Gui out and pulling it to the edge.
Because the commotion caused by the three Meteor Dwellers was too great, it attracted the attention of many of the Lava Team's thugs at the base, prompting them to come and investigate. There were already quite a few footsteps outside the laboratory.
One of them walked in and reported, "Boss Fire Goose, I just heard an earthquake here, so we've come to check it out. What kind of experiment are you doing...?!"
As soon as he entered, he saw a messy laboratory, a baby dragon clutching its bottom, lava team researchers lined up with their heads in their hands, and Fire Goose, the leader, who was already tied up and unconscious.
"What exactly is this place...?"
'
Before he could react, the snow fairy beside Ze Shu let out a soft cry, and the freezing wind swept away, freezing him into an ice sculpture.
But he was frozen into an ice sculpture.
His companions who followed behind him cried out in surprise.
"What's going on?! What's happening inside?!"
These Team Magma henchmen released their Pokémon and stormed in.
But what immediately greeted them was the dragon energy fluctuations that Higana's two tigresses had already prepared, vying to be the first.
In an instant, the place was filled with chaotic sounds.
"Looks like we've alerted the entire lava team here," Ze Shu said, then noticed Xiao Lan and the campfire who had come out to check the situation. "How are the floating bubbles?"
Xiao Lan: "I'm still recovering smoothly."
The campfire, however, turned its attention to the Lava Team thugs rushing in and, without hesitation, had Ninetales, who was following her, spew out a pillar of fire, causing the Lava Team members to scream in alarm.
This scene was witnessed by the fire goose, which was bound and had just been awakened by the commotion.
She immediately screamed in a shrill voice, "Campfire, you traitor!"
Higana made a face at her: "You're talking about other people now, you treacherous friend!"
Fire Goose: "How could I betray my comrades! I was dealing with a traitor! Humph! Sure enough, I saw through you, Campfire, all along. It wasn't for nothing that I advised Crimson Pine not to give you this important position of 'Fire Goose'!"
The campfire remained silent, only prompting Nine-Tails to intensify its attacks on the invading Lava Team.
Ze Shu, however, asked Huo Yan curiously, "Is your position as Huo Yan very important?"
Fire Goose scoffed coldly, "The Lava Team's Three Fires, haven't you heard of them? They're the highest-ranking officers under Boss Crimson Pine!"
Ze Shu: "I've not only heard of them, but I've also caught two of them... um, no, including you, it seems to be three now."
Huo Yan was speechless, unable to refute, and her expression darkened.
Ze Shu, however, turned to the silent campfire with interest and said, "Campfire, do you want to wipe out Team Lava?"
The campfire pursed its lips before saying, "I...I think! You want to..."
'
Ze Shu: "I want you to become a Fire Goose," is that alright?
The campfire understood Ze Shu's meaning: "...Is it to go undercover?"
Ze Shu: "Yes."
He looked at the Fire Goose who had been helped and said, "Didn't this Fire Goose say that the Crimson Pine wanted you, the campfire, to become a Fire Goose? Then we can grant his wish."
Fire Goose's pupils widened: "You!"
To plot something like this in front of her, what kind of nonsense is that!
"Do you think Boss Crimson Flame Pine wouldn't see through your tricks?!" Fire Goose said angrily.
Campfire: "...I'm willing to do it."
Ze Shu looked at her and said, "When the time comes, just tell the truth about the Karl Caves, including my arrival, and also about how you were framed by this Fire Goose. The only two differences are that you have to say you escaped on your own and that you've never been to this Lava Team base."
Fire Goose struggled, crying, "No! No! You can't do this!"
But nobody paid any attention to her.
Erguilan walked up and knocked her unconscious with a thorny vine club.
The campfire nodded and said, "I understand."
"In that case... I'll go back and take care of the floating bubbles first."
Since it was agreed that they would be "undercover agents," they naturally couldn't fight here. The campfire allowed Nine-Tails to unleash another huge ball of flame at Team Magma, then it turned and walked into the corridor.
Because of the chaotic noise from the Lava Team's battle, few people heard their conversation. Even the gleeful Sigana, who was commanding the Salamence, and the handsome guy collecting the Lava Team's "corpses" couldn't hear it.
At that moment, Xiao Lan said, "Because of the commotion here, Champion Daigo has already led the league personnel in."
Ze Shu: "Then let's wait for him."
Daigo's efficiency as the champion was quite good. Sawaki "only" waited for half an hour, and then he wiped out almost all of the Team Magma members. When the commotion subsided, a pile of "corpses" was stacked high on the scene.
A giant golden monster, gleaming with silver light, barged in.
On top of the Shiny Metagross, the silver-haired man shouted, "Ze Shu, I'm here to help you!"
But no one answered.
Looking up, I saw Ze Shu and Xi Jiana bullying the baby dragon in the corner, having a great time, making the baby dragon's eyes water and it seemed not to have heard what he said.
Daigo looked around and realized there was really nothing he could help with; the Team Magma members had already been dealt with.
"Am I too late?"
