Chapter 268 Can't Afford to Mess With, Time to Make a Run
"What on earth is going on?!"
Little Blue's sudden yet seemingly well-prepared attack startled the attacker in the smoke.
This was an attack they had been secretly observing and planning for a long time before launching it with absolute certainty of success!
But now... the painful groans of its companion that had been blasted away in the distance have gradually subsided, a sign that it is about to lose consciousness.
No, we have to go quickly!
"Let's clear the fog," Xiao Lan said.
The black and gray smoke created by the smoke bomb was not stubborn to begin with. As soon as Xiao Lan finished speaking, there was a throbbing in the smoke, and in less than half a breath, it dissipated, revealing the crawling wing flapping its large wings vigorously inside the smoke.
"Coo coo!" the crawling wing panted heavily.
As its name suggests, it "crawls" and doesn't fly like the fire moth or the iron tussock moth. The main use of its wings is to act as a thin blanket to keep warm when it's sleeping.
It took a lot of effort to blow this cloud of smoke away.
As the smoke cleared, two more menacing figures appeared in Ze Shu and Xiao Lan's line of sight.
They looked almost identical to the guy who had just been slammed against the wall by the ground-crawling wing: gray hair, masks, and ninja-like attire. One of them was clutching a tearful Victini tightly in his hand.
Bictini had many injuries, among which three horrifying ghostly claw marks stood out on its creamy body.
The occasional appearance of cursed dolls around it clearly indicates that this is its doing.
"Damn it, let's get out of here!" the attacker cried out in alarm, no longer caring about his unconscious companion in the distance.
But their figures had just begun to move.
A dark figure suddenly emerged from beside Ze Shu and instantly lunged forward.
His pupils gleamed with a dark light, and the steel blade in his hand showed no mercy... as it swung down at the attacker's arm that was gripping the Victini!
"What are you, a mere foot soldier with a single sword?!"
The attacker glared angrily, but under the black light focused in the eyes of the soldier with the dagger, he felt an inexplicable fear and could not move his feet an inch.
In this situation, if he were to be cut by the sharp blade of that soldier with the dagger, not only would his carefully planned prey escape, but he would probably lose his entire arm.
But the soldier with the dagger was too fast for him to dodge!
"Cursed doll! Stand in my way!" he shouted.
"Bang...."
'
The cursed doll hesitated for a moment, but then lunged at the blade of the soldier without hesitation.
The blade gleamed with a dark, malevolent energy, and the moment it struck the cursed doll, it elicited a mournful scream from the creature.
But they did manage to buy themselves some time.
With a loud "bang," the soldier with the dagger chopped the cursed doll's costume in half.
The attacker threw out a Poké Ball, and with a flash of white light, a Pokémon that was similar in size to Piketo but much larger appeared—Bisharp, the evolved form of Piketo.
"Slay the commander! Chop this lowly soldier to pieces!"
It seems that all the Pokémon in this evolutionary chain are very obedient. Bisharp hesitated for only a moment before raising the broad blade on its arm and slashing at Pawn without mercy.
However, this slash targeted not only the soldier with the dagger but also the cursed doll that had just used its weak, ghostly body to shield the attacker from the attack.
"Bang...."
'
The cursed doll stared back in disbelief.
Now, its doll-like face, which should be hateful, reveals a look of heartache.
But the cleaving commander's blade still swung down, cleaving into the cursed doll's body, and clashing with the blade of the pikeman's sword.
Despite being evolved forms, one tall and the other small, the blade that cleaved the commander was no match for the small soldier and was knocked back as if it were a small soldier. The commander staggered a few steps before regaining his footing.
At the point of impact, the cursed doll's body was shattered into pieces.
"How could this be...?" The attacker's eyes widened.
He couldn't believe that his cleaving commander couldn't withstand the small, insignificant samurai soldier opposite him!
The soldier with the dagger remained expressionless, but his pupils shifted slightly as he stared intently at the shattered cursed doll, lost in thought.
Sawaki: "I can only say that Team Plasma truly lives up to its name. On the surface, they talk grandly about protecting Pokémon, giving them freedom, and always considering their well-being. But now they're attacking even their own Pokémon."
"How do you know my identity...? Ha!"
The attackers were shocked.
Their identities are extremely well-hidden within Team Plasma. They are the "Dark Triangle" personally led by Ghetsis, and he was even given the name "Dark" by Ghetsis himself, serving as an envoy representing the dark side of Team Plasma.
Even some of the other six Sages didn't know his identity, so how could this person know!
Dark gripped the slightly different-feeling "Victini" tightly in his hand, wondering in surprise, before turning the tables on him.
"If you hadn't attacked so rashly, my cursed doll wouldn't be in this state!"
"Slay the commander, continue the attack!"
He refused to believe that his evolved cleaving commander could be no match for the opponent's mere pike-wielding soldier.
But the soldier with the dagger stepped forward and clashed his "Tile Splitter" with the Commander of Splitting. After a few blows, he dented the Commander of Splitting's helmet, showing the enemy that the Commander of Splitting was no match for him!
Not only in terms of blade sharpness, but also in hardness, density, and steel, the Koma Blade soldier is completely superior in its clash with its evolved form.
even...
It slashed at the commander's groin, leaving a sharp wound.
Points of white light first emerged from the tip of its blade, and then instantly covered its entire body.
Within the white light, its form gradually grew taller.
"...It's evolved?"
Ze Shu was taken aback.
Darkness was also alarmed: "Interrupt it!"
This little swordsman was able to suppress his cleaver commander even in its small initial stage. If it were to successfully evolve, what would become of it?
But at this time.
Ze Shu had a sudden thought.
Suddenly, the dream that was quietly hiding next to Ze Shu's shoulder let out a "whoosh" and released a wisp of superpower, controlling... the agile insect released by the dark companion beside him.
Just then, the crawling wing, which had just been fighting the agile insect but had never been able to touch it, flapped its wings and roared.
Its strong, hairy forelimbs slammed into the agile bug with brute force. With a loud "thud," the agile bug flew backward and crashed into the cleaver commander's sword, which was about to attack the slashing soldier!
Although the commander's blade was not as hard as that of a low-ranking soldier's sword, it was still sharp.
With a whoosh, the thin membrane on the surface of the agile insect's body was shattered and scattered.
Moreover, this agile bug appears to have a "sticky" property. After the membrane was shaved off, it was not cut away, but its entire body, which was over a meter long, was firmly stuck to the cleaver's blade.
This made it impossible for the commander to cut down or shake off.
They could only stare at the agile insect stuck to the knife.
The darkness behind them filled them with rage and terror.
Because the little soldier with the sword wrapped in the light of evolution was growing taller at an incredible speed. In less than a moment, it had completed its evolution. The white light burst out, and it appeared with a brand new body.
Compared to its counterpart, whose blade was covered in agile insects, Ze Shu's cleaving commander was slightly taller, but its steel body was more solid and compact, as if the density of the metal inside was completely different.
Ze Shu smiled and said softly, "Let's take care of them."
Commander Pi Zhan slightly raised his head, and then, facing his fellow creatures covered in agile insects, he raised his blade slightly before suddenly bursting forward and slashing down.
It's still the same move, "splitting tiles".
But it was seen differently by the other side.
In its early days as a Pike-chan, the small size of its blade meant that while it hurt, it was generally insignificant to the opponent. But now, having evolved into Bisharp, its "qualified" blade comes at you with incredible speed, truly startling any Pokémon.
There was a loud "clang".
With a single slash, the Slashing Commander sent its counterpart, along with the agile insects clinging to its blade, flying. The insects piled up and slammed against the wall not far away, colliding with one of the "Dark Iron Triangle" members who had been initially knocked away.
Upon seeing this, Darkness took two steps back, her eyes showing a hint of panic.
"Damn it!" he gritted his teeth, raising his clenched hands high, and shouted, "That's enough! I admit defeat! You release me, and I'll release Victini, whom I captured, after I escape. Is that alright?!"
Ze Shu narrowed his eyes and said, "Didn't you just say you were going to bury us here?"
Darkness said coldly, "Of course I can! But don't push me, I have a backup plan. It's not worth using it in this situation. After all, if I use this 'backup plan,' not only will you be buried, but I will be buried too."
"So don't push me to the brink."
"Releasing this biscotti to you is the best outcome for you."
Dark felt that his proposed solution was the best outcome for both sides, so how could the other party possibly refuse?
Sure enough, he saw Ze Shu nod.
"If what you're holding in your hand really is a Victini."
"...What?!"
Darkness suddenly realized what was happening.
He turned to look at his hand, which was still tightly gripping Victini, only to find that... what he was holding had changed, becoming... a Gengar plushie?!
dark:"???"
"Hehehe~ You idiot, you idiot!"
Hupa then jumped out from behind Zeshu, sticking out his tongue and grinning mischievously, holding the ring.
Beside it followed Bictini, whose tears were still wet on her face.
"Hoopa knows the difference in feel between this Gengar plushie and this guy. This plushie looks incredibly fat, with no slender parts at all, a complete contrast to this little guy. How can you not even notice the difference in their textures? You're such an idiot!"
"Kou Jie...?"
Gengar had just peeked out from the shadows and was about to let out a couple of cackling laughs to show its cunning and treacherous nature as a Ghost Pokémon.
But Hoopa said it was "too fat" and had no slim parts at all...
Gengar looked down at its own body.
Then it immediately looked aggrieved, as if it had swallowed a 40.5kg fat black man, and shrank back into the shadows.
"You! You!"
Darkness trembled with rage, pointing at Hoopa who was mocking him.
Hupa stuck out his tongue at him without any hesitation.
"Fine, fine... This... this is what you forced me to do..." Darkness said in a trembling voice, pulling a small, grayish-purple cloud from her robes. "Although I haven't fully controlled this being yet, but... descend upon this place! Wind!"
"We...we all have to be buried here..."
The "Battle Subway" they were in was several meters underground, and the train had been traveling for quite some time, probably in the suburbs. After this dark prayer, a tremor actually occurred, and the entire carriage shook.
Bei Shang pressed the walkie-talkie beside his ear and said, "It's wind... a violent tornado, starting to sweep around from our tenth carriage! Even... even the ground on the surface is being ripped away by the relentless wind!"
Clang!
I felt a violent jolt in the carriage, and a large section of the roof was blown off, allowing me to see the sky shrouded in storm.
In just that short time, several meters of ground above their train carriage were torn away, and then their carriage was lifted into the air...
The darkness, in its maniacal rage, roared, "See that? See that! That's the power! That's why I said we'd all be buried!"
"That kind of power? Then why weren't you blown away?"
Right? With that kind of power that could tear apart their carriage in an instant, why is he still unharmed inside the carriage, not blown away or caught in a tornado?
Darkness looked around the carriage, where a raging storm raged outside but the interior was as calm as a windless zone, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Then he noticed a small white bird that appeared next to Ze Shu.
"Waaah—"
Little Lugia let out two proud cries, its body glowing with a soft white light, and hovered beside Ze Shu's head, rubbing against him regardless of the occasion.
Ze Shu dealt with Lugia, looked up, and laughed, "I thought you had summoned something else, but it turns out it's this."
Amidst the raging tornado above, a figure vaguely emerges—it is a cloud, upon which grows a "muscular man" with green skin adorned with purple magatama and long horns—one of the Four Cloud Gods, Tornado Cloud.
Amidst the storm, the tornado cloud loomed high above, surveying its surroundings.
Not long ago, a guy found it and made a deal with it to help fight. Although it knew that the guy had no good intentions and even had the idea of capturing it, it was too much to ask, and Tornado Cloud was confident enough in its own strength.
But most importantly: it hasn't been hit by a storm for hundreds of years!
This time, with this pretext, it also happened to be a good opportunity to vent its frustrations.
Killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone!
Long Juanyun thought to himself with a smug satisfaction.
Let it see which unlucky creature will suffer from its tornado that has been suppressed for hundreds of years!
The tornado looked down and gazed into the carriage whose roof had been blown off by its storm.
But as it looked around, it suddenly spotted a person inside the carriage, and its expression froze, its face gradually stiffening and turning pale.
That was a terrifying face it didn't want to recall.
What are you doing here?!
"Ha! So what if your Pokémon can protect the carriage! When it's time to bury us, we'll all be buried!" Dark said coldly, then raised his head and looked at the cloud shadow in the tornado. "Unfortunately, I won't be able to see the moment when Team Plasma captures such a powerful tornado..."
'
"But let this powerful tornado bury us..."
But soon, he couldn't continue.
Because he noticed that the tornado seemed to be in a daze for a while in the sky.
The clouds below it churned and...and then they vanished in a flash.
Yes, the tornado fled in a flash, incredibly fast, as if slowing down would incur some kind of severe punishment, leaving only the gradually calming tornado storm behind...
And the gradually cooling heart in the darkness.
"ah?!"
