Chapter 237 Ice Ghost Guardian, Sending It On Its Way
Kunlun Mountains, surrounded by forests.
The sunlight was fragmented by the layers of dark green tree canopy, sparingly casting down a few dappled spots of light.
The air was filled with the smells of soil, decaying leaves, and a faint, almost imperceptible odor of blood.
From deep within a low thicket of bushes came the faint, suppressed sobs.
That was a baby Cygnus.
It clutched its head tightly with its short arms, its whole body trembling uncontrollably.
Those eyes, which should have been inherited from a powerful race and appeared fierce and sharp, were now filled with tears.
Like beads from a broken string, they rolled down her cheeks, landing on the withered leaves beneath her and wetting the soil.
"Yo-ji--(Da---Du---)"
The young Gilas uttered a tearful murmur between its teeth, its taut body silently conveying the boundless fear within it.
As a member of the Bangiras tribe in the Kunlun Mountains, it should not have appeared so disheveled and vulnerable.
After all, its powerful bloodline endowed it with enormous potential.
However, its timid nature acted like a heavy shackle, binding it tightly and preventing it from ever realizing its full potential.
This also made it an outcast in its group, suffering from the disdain and alienation of its companions, and always alone.
To be honest, it had long been used to this loneliness.
It accepted its "mediocrity" and "unconventionality".
I feel that just staying in this corner of the forest, guarding this small peace, and quietly passing each day doesn't seem so bad.
But all this peace was shattered this morning.
Without warning, a strange crack appeared in the sky, and then—a nightmare began.
Emerging from the crack were many humans dressed in uniform, wielding strange weapons that gleamed with a cold light, who indiscriminately attacked and drove away every native of the forest.
Roaring energy beams, resilient capture nets ——————
The once peaceful homeland was instantly transformed into a hunting ground.
In just one morning, it encountered its familiar companions, powerful elders, and even those it usually only dared to look at from afar—
Almost all of them were captured by those humans, and their whereabouts are unknown.
It is one of them.
Perhaps it was because it looked too weak and didn't struggle hard enough, or perhaps for some other reason.
After capturing it, the humans did not bind it with a special restraint like they would with other Pokémon.
He simply tossed it together with the other captured Pokémon and then paid it no further attention.
This seemingly insignificant "oversight" became its only chance.
Taking advantage of the moment the guard turned away, it mustered all the courage it had in its life and scrambled away to escape.
I desperately crawled into what I thought was a safe thicket, and I'm still there now.
But now, what should it do? Where can it go?
The forest was no longer safe, the tribe was nowhere to be found, and extreme fear, like cold vines, coiled around its heart, tightening ever more.
It feared being captured again and returned to that place filled with despair, feared the cold weapons in the hands of humans, and feared even more that it would be harmed.
"Yo-yo-yo!"
Young Kiras tried to wipe away the tears that kept flowing with his little hands, but new tears immediately blurred his vision again.
Once the floodgates of fear are opened, they can never be closed again; tears simply won't obey your commands.
Just then, a series of hurried and chaotic footsteps came from outside the bushes!
Young Gilas's heart leaped into his throat!
It suddenly covered its mouth, holding its breath, afraid that the slightest sound would reveal its hiding place.
The footsteps outside, accompanied by a few muffled words of conversation and laughter, paused for a moment, as if they were searching for something.
After a while, the footsteps faded away, and silence returned to the outside.
But it remained curled up in place, too afraid to move or even peek out to check.
Just as it was still in shock and its heart began to ease a little,
"Hahahaha! I won my bet! I knew this piece of trash would run away if I didn't put any restraints on him!"
"Give me the money! Hurry up!"
A loud, malicious laugh suddenly erupted from outside the bushes!
Then came two more frustrated voices.
"This is unbelievable! He was clearly the most cowardly of those prey, yet he actually had the guts to run away?"
Is it brave, or utterly foolish?
"Tsk—you made me lose money! Damn it! Ice Ghost Guardian! Use your Frozen Fangs to drag this little piece of trash out of here!"
Three different voices, each carrying undisguised malice and mockery.
The moment the words fell!
Bang!
The bushes were violently torn apart by a brute force!
The sunlight suddenly shone in, so bright that Young Gilas couldn't open his eyes.
Broken leaves and twigs flew everywhere!
An ice demon guard with an ominous scarlet light in one eye and a ferocious face opened its huge mouth filled with sharp, icicle-like teeth.
With a chilling aura, it bit down hard on the young Gilas curled up on the ground!
"Yo-yo!!!"
Caught completely off guard, Young Gilas let out a piercing scream that was so intense it was almost unrecognizable!
The sharp fangs formed from ice-type energy, which was effective against it, instantly pierced its relatively fragile rocky skin and penetrated deep into its flesh!
Excruciating pain swept through its entire body, assaulting every nerve!
Logically speaking, given its condition, this attack should have been enough to make it lose consciousness immediately.
But perhaps extreme fear unleashed some kind of potential, or perhaps it was the faint resentment within that was calling out.
It actually managed to withstand the excruciating pain that would have made it faint, thanks to its indomitable will, and maintained its last shred of consciousness!
The Ice Ghost, carrying the young Gilas who was whimpering in pain, flew back out of the bushes and discarded it like trash.
With a "pfft," it was flung at the feet of the three Team Rainbow Rocket members.
The impact sent Young Kiras tumbling and rolling several times on the ground.
It struggled, trying to support its trembling forelimbs to keep its aching body from fleeing, but after several attempts, it fell helplessly back to the ground.
"Oh? Still thinking of running away?"
The captain, watching its futile struggle, spat in annoyance and slowly walked over to it.
He raised his foot and kicked it hard in the side, sending it rolling toward the other two.
Young Kiras was kicked and rolled toward the other two players, letting out a painful groan.
"I'll let you off easy this time, since you let me win some pocket money!"
The captain crossed his arms and sneered.
The other two team members who lost money didn't look too friendly either, and mercilessly kicked the nearly lifeless young Kiras on the ground a few more times.
"I mean, how long are we supposed to keep an eye on this prey?"
One of them kicked while complaining, "Didn't the cadre promise to take us into that mine for the operation? It's so boring wandering around here on the outskirts."
"What's the rush?"
The other person answered casually.
"I heard that Team One has some tasks to set up in the mine ahead of time. Once they come back, it will be our turn to go."
The two chatted casually, but their feet never stopped moving.
They treated Young Gilas as a toy to vent their boredom and frustration from losing money, and didn't care at all whether it lived or died.
"Alright, stop kicking."
The captain returned, frowned, glanced at the almost motionless baby Gilas on the ground, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"These are all valuable goods; it would be difficult to explain if they were damaged."
The other two stopped reluctantly when their captain spoke.
"So what should we do with this waste?"
The first team member pointed with his chin at the nearly lifeless young Gilas on the ground.
"It's in such a state, and you still plan to take it back? If the receiving team or other teams find out that we deliberately let it escape to 'play,' we'll be in big trouble."
My suggestion is ————
Another team member's eyes hardened, and he raised his hand to make a cutting gesture in front of his neck.
"Anyway, he's just a useless piece of trash. The receiving team won't care if one is missing during the inventory, so let's just—"
To prevent future troubles.
The captain stared at the weak young Gilas on the ground, pondered for less than two seconds, and then nodded.
"Okay—then let's clean it up properly."
He turned to the ice demon guardian hovering to the side, its eyes empty and crimson, and coldly issued his final command.
"Ice Demon Guardian, send it on its way."
Ice Ghost let out a heartless roar, and energy began to rapidly gather around its body!
It suddenly rose higher and hovered directly above Young Gilas.
His entire body seemed to transform into a shooting star, carrying immense force, and crashed down on Young Gilas, who was unable to move on the ground!
Young Kiras struggled to lift his heavy eyelids, peering through the blurry tears and mud.
In the last sliver of light, it could only see the ever-growing, destructive figure of the Ice Demon Guardian.
An overwhelming sense of resentment and despair instantly overwhelmed it!
It wanted to move! It wanted to get away! It wanted to live!
No matter how much its will roared, its body, heavy as iron and wracked with excruciating pain, could not move even an inch to the side!
It’s over————
Just as it realized it was about to be completely swallowed by darkness, at the very last moment.
A chilling voice, brimming with murderous intent, seemed to echo from a distant horizon, reaching his almost stagnant hearing.
But it just couldn't hear clearly anymore.
"Gengar! Switch places!"
Swish!
A strange energy fluctuation flashed by, followed by a blurry shadow!
The next second, the Ice Ghost Guard, carrying all its power, slammed the wolf hard into the ground.
The earth trembled violently, and smoke and dust mixed with ice shards shot into the sky!
A crater several meters in diameter appeared on the spot, and debris shot out!
But the young Gilas, which was lying at the bottom of the pit, vanished into thin air!
"What?!"
"What's going on?!"
The sinister smiles on the faces of the three Rainbow Rocket members froze instantly, replaced by utter astonishment and bewilderment.
Before they could react, that angry voice rang out again.
"Gengar! Fire Punch!"
boom! ! !
An even deeper, louder explosion erupted from the crater that had just been created by the Ice Ghost!
Then, to the utter astonishment of the three men…
Their formidable Ice Ghost Guardian was struck head-on by a battering ram, its massive body resembling a kite with a broken string.
It shot out of the pit at an even faster speed than it had gone!
It flew past the three of them almost touching their scalps, and the strong wind it generated made their cheeks sting!
A series of cracking sounds rang out as the Ice Demon Guardian smashed through three or four thick trees.
It fell to the ground like a tattered sack, bounced twice, and then fell completely silent.
Its body flashed a red light, indicating that it had lost its ability to battle, and it was forcibly returned to its Poké Ball.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye!
The trio was completely dumbfounded.
They simply couldn't understand how Ice Ghost Guard, who had just been in a dominant position and full of energy, could have been defeated in the blink of an eye.
Such a complete and swift defeat!
The figure of Young Gillas had already disappeared from the crater that had just been created by the Ice Ghost's "Headbutt".
Instead, a Gengar floated at the bottom of the pit, its hands burning with intense orange flames!
Its already somewhat mocking ghost face, now illuminated by the flickering firelight, appeared even more ferocious and terrifying, exuding a chilling aura!
"Gengar?! Who?! Who's causing trouble?! Show yourself!"
The captain snapped out of his shock and roared at everyone around him, his voice trembling with fear.
However, no one responded to him.
His other two teammates, as if frozen in place, stared blankly upwards, their eyes fixed on the sky.
The captain looked up, following their gaze.
The pupils suddenly contracted!
Before they knew it, a high-tech aircraft, like a ghost, hovered silently not far above their heads.
The aircraft's side has been opened.
A handsome young man with black hair and cold eyes was standing on the ship's railing.
What he was holding in his arms was the baby Gilas that should have been in the pit.
The young man seemed to feed it something, then gently handed it to a cold-looking woman beside him. Then, his eyes, devoid of any warmth, slowly lowered and locked onto the three people on the ground.
The sense of oppression is activated!
A chilling killing intent, as if it were tangible, instantly wrapped around the spines of the three men, making them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave!
The insults and threats that were just about to be uttered were abruptly stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word!
Under the horrified gazes of the three, the black-haired youth—Bai Zhou.
He actually took a half step back, and then jumped off the ship's side, which was tens of meters high, without hesitation!
There were no ropes, no cushioning, and no safety measures whatsoever!
He fell straight down like a meteorite, carrying an indomitable momentum!
boom!
A heavy thud was heard, and the ground trembled slightly.
He landed precisely in front of the three people, and when his feet touched the ground, he didn't even make a loud sound, showing his amazing control over his body strength.
The captain reacted the fastest, his hands almost instinctively reaching for the pistol at his waist!
But the moment his fingers touched the cold gun handle, everything went blurry!
Bai Zhou's figure instantly closed in!
A simple, direct, and extremely fast straight punch landed hard on the captain's abdomen!
