Chapter 253: The Vanishing It
Darkrai looked down on the youth before him, and after severely teasing him, brought him back to the Snorlax Home with Dragonite.
Because Anjay was busy, Dragonite and Darkrai did not disturb him.
It wasn't until after 10:00 PM, when the guests had gradually left, that Anjay learned what had happened and met the young man.
As soon as the young man saw Anjay, he immediately burst into tears and hugged Anjay's leg, saying:
"I know I was wrong, please let me go, I beg you, sob sob sob ~ ~ ~"
On the surface, he looked fine, but in reality, he had been dragged into nightmares by Darkrai and tormented several times, and by now he was already mentally broken with fear.
Anjay said, "It's useless for you to say this to me, go tell Officer Jenny!"
Then Anjay let Dragonite and Inteleon go home first, while he and Darkrai took the young man to the police station.
There's nothing wrong with catching Pokémon, but if improper methods are used, it will violate the Alliance's laws, so the young man will probably suffer in the police station.
After being tormented by Darkrai, the young man was extremely mentally broken, so when he arrived at the police station, he didn't hide anything and confessed to his crimes without reservation.
It turned out that he had used this method to catch Pokémon more than once; his Trevenant and Mamoswine were both caught in this way.
Okay, that's an extra crime, and now the young man is in trouble.
After leaving the police station, Anjay and Darkrai walked on the road back to the Snorlax Home.
Halfway there, while passing over a bridge, Darkrai suddenly stopped.
Anjay asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Dark ~ ~" Darkrai called out to Anjay, then quickly flew in one direction.
Seeing this, Anjay quickly followed.
After going down, Darkrai did not forget to put the manhole cover back on.
As soon as he got down the manhole, Anjay's ears twitched sensitively; he seemed to hear a sob.
"Are there Pokémon?"
So he led Darkrai along the sob.
Below the manhole cover was a wide sewer, with rushing water flowing rapidly forward; fortunately, Anjay had good hearing, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hear the faint crying.
After searching for a while, Anjay saw three Pokémon in a corner.
An Alolan Meowth.
A Houndour and an Umbreon.
All three were Dark-type Pokémon, no wonder Darkrai could sense their existence from afar.
The crying sound Anjay heard was coming from Houndour, because the Umbreon in front of them was unconscious and covered in wounds.
The Alolan Meowth was very alert; Anjay's walking didn't cause too much noise, but it still noticed it keenly.
The moment Anjay appeared, it leaped in front of Anjay, blocking Anjay's path.
"Meow ~" Meowth let out a sharp roar, trying to scare Anjay away.
At this time, Houndour also saw Anjay; it quickly stopped crying and ran to Meowth's side, baring its fangs at Anjay as well.
"Woof ~ Woof ~ ~"
From its tender voice, it could be heard that Houndour was not very old.
Seeing this, Anjay quickly said, "Don't misunderstand, we don't have any malicious intent, we just heard Houndour's crying and came to see what was going on."
However, Houndour and Meowth didn't believe Anjay and continued to bare their fangs at Anjay.
"Dark ~ ~" Seeing this, Darkrai flew forward and let out a cry full of pressure to the two Pokémon.
Humph! Not knowing what's good for them, if it were in the past, it would definitely pretend not to see such a thing; now it kindly brought Anjay to help, but this little guy is still not grateful!
Houndour and Meowth trembled all over with fear, but they still bravely stood in front of Umbreon.
Anjay waved his hand at Darkrai; Darkrai glared at the two Pokémon and returned to Anjay's side.
Meowth and Houndour trembled again with fear, almost falling to the ground with weak legs.
Anjay said, "Umbreon seems to be injured; you are protecting it, right? I can help heal Umbreon's injuries."
Hearing this, Houndour and Meowth looked back at Umbreon; seeing Umbreon's vital signs becoming weaker and weaker, a trace of hesitation flashed across their faces.
Anjay continued, "You can tell from the Darkrai next to me that it is very strong; if I wanted to do something to you, I wouldn't need your permission at all, you can't resist.
Believe me, I really have no malicious intent."
Hearing this, Houndour looked at Meowth and called out to Meowth.
It could be seen that Meowth was the leader of these two Pokémon, and Houndour was asking for Meowth's opinion.
Meowth pondered for a moment, and finally silently let Anjay pass.
Anjay quickly stepped forward to check Umbreon's condition and found that it was seriously injured; there were multiple impact wounds on its body, and there seemed to be internal damage as well.
He couldn't handle this level of injury.
So after briefly treating Umbreon to prevent its injuries from worsening, Anjay said to Houndour and Meowth:
"Umbreon is seriously injured; if this continues, its life may be in danger, so I need to take it to the Pokémon Center."
As soon as Houndour heard that Umbreon's life was in danger, it immediately started crying again.
Anjay quickly comforted it, "Nurse Joy is very powerful; with her there, Umbreon will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty!"
Hearing this, Meowth actually cupped its paws at Anjay, its eyes filled with pleading, hoping that Anjay could help them.
Although it had been acting calm and composed before, it finally panicked when it heard that Umbreon might die.
Anjay bent down and picked up Umbreon, "Don't worry, we'll go to the Pokémon Center right away!"
Saying that, he went back the way he came.
Seeing this, Meowth and Houndour quickly followed.
After leaving the sewer, Anjay took several Pokémon to the Pokémon Center as quickly as possible.
At the same time, on the Nibel Plateau.
After Kirlia returned from the Royal City, she had lunch with her parents.
Because her parents still had things to do, she and Riolu agreed to go play together.
They came to the flower field on the northwest side, and seeing the splendid flowers, they happily entered the flower field to pick flowers.
The two Pokémon picked flowers while discussing how to decorate the room with these flowers.
Not far away, two Combee were dancing in the flowers, playing and collecting nectar.
The four Pokémon greeted each other and began playing together in the flowers, chatting and laughing, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Suddenly, the ground trembled violently, causing Kirlia and Riolu to lose their footing and fall to the ground.
"Hani~ Hani~"
"Hani~ Hani~"
The two Combee looked at Kirlia and Riolu's backs and cried out in terror. Thick, brown tentacles burst from the ground, withering and destroying the flowers in their path.
It's the monster Ange spoke of!!!
Kirlia and Riolu looked back and immediately ran away in fright.
The two Combee followed closely behind.
Just then, the tentacles attacked the four Pokémon, lashing out at them.
The tentacles were extremely fast, reaching the four Pokémon almost instantly.
Seeing that a tentacle was about to hit a Combee, Kirlia quickly used its psychic power to create a barrier, trying to stop the tentacle.
However, there was no way Kirlia could be a match for the tentacle.
"Kirlia~" After a cry of anguish, Kirlia was sent flying and crashed heavily into the flowers.
Moreover, because the psychic barrier had been shattered, Kirlia's mental power was violently shaken, causing it to feel a throbbing headache.
"Riolu~~" Riolu was very angry at the sight, so it rushed forward and used Rock Smash to strike the tentacle hard.
At the same time, the two Combee quickly vibrated their wings and used Gust to attack the tentacle.
Unfortunately, the three Pokémon's attacks were insignificant to the tentacle.
There were many tentacles, and they twisted and turned, coming towards Riolu and the Combee, trying to ensnare them.
At that critical moment, Kirlia endured the headache and used Teleport to appear beside them, taking them away from the tentacles.
However, Teleport consumes a lot of energy, and Kirlia was not strong enough, let alone carrying three companions at the same time.
Therefore, after only teleporting a short distance, it fell from the sky with Riolu and the two Combee.
As soon as they landed, the tentacles descended again.
Because Riolu was closest to the tentacles, it was the first to be attacked.
With quick eyes and hands, Kirlia pushed Riolu away at the moment it was about to be attacked, while it was caught by the tentacles and lifted into the air.
"Kirlia~~" Kirlia groaned in pain as the tentacles tightened.
"Riolu~~" Riolu got up from the ground and tried to rescue Kirlia, but a hand suddenly grabbed it.
It turned around and saw it was Drilbur.
It turned out that the patrol team had finally arrived after hearing the commotion.
Lairon, Sandslash, and Hippowdon were all there.
"Korobble~ Korobble~" Drilbur told Riolu and the Combee to find helpers, and left the task of rescuing Kirlia to them.
Knowing that staying would only be a hindrance, Riolu ran to seek help as quickly as possible, and the two Combee hurriedly followed.
On the other side, Sandslash, Hippowdon, and Lairon had already launched an attack on the tentacles.
Sandslash and Hippowdon leaped forward, using Crunch to bite down hard on a tentacle each.
Hippowdon, as a fully evolved Pokémon, usually trained rigorously and was very strong, immediately biting off a tentacle.
The bite force of its large mouth was terrifying.
Sandslash was much weaker, not only failing to crush the tentacle, but also being flung away by it.
Lairon used Iron Head to slam into the tentacle that was attacking it, instantly smashing a tentacle to pieces.
Drilbur refused to be outdone, and when a tentacle attacked, it used Metal Claw to meet it head-on.
Although the Pokémon performed very well, there were too many tentacles, and they gradually became unable to defend everywhere.
Kirlia was held in the air by the tentacles, and the expression on its face became more and more painful.
Just then, a ball of fire appeared out of nowhere and slammed into the tentacles, burning them to a charred black.
It turned out that Talonflame had arrived.
However, the tentacles were not living things and had no sense of pain, so even though they were burnt and smelled burnt, they did not release Kirlia.
Following closely behind Talonflame was its wife, Staraptor.
Staraptor used Close Combat, its sharp and strong claws tearing the tentacles apart.
After the tentacles broke, Kirlia fell uncontrollably, falling straight towards the center of the tentacles.
Many tentacles gathered together like a bouquet, and the place where they were connected was the center.
It was shrouded in a cloud of black and red mist, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Seeing this, Talonflame and Staraptor wanted to step forward and catch Kirlia, but two tentacles that followed closely blocked their way.
Kirlia itself also wanted to escape through Teleport, but as soon as it wanted to use the skill, its head felt like it was about to explode with pain.
It turned out that after being injured just now, it had used Teleport to escape with Riolu and the two Combee, consuming a lot of energy, and could no longer use Teleport at this time.
It was still too young, and its mental strength was not enough to support it using Teleport frequently.
If it was just itself, it wouldn't matter, but it had insisted on bringing Riolu and the two Combee with it.
Teleport failed, and Kirlia fell into the black mist in the center of the tentacles and disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Sandslash, Hippowdon, Lairon, Drilbur, Talonflame, and Staraptor were furious.
"Roar!!!!" As a roar sounded, a bright light erupted from Lairon's body.
"Korobble~" With another angry hiss, a bright blue-white light also erupted from Drilbur's body.
Stimulated, Lairon and Drilbur actually evolved together.
Soon the light of evolution faded away, and two brand-new Pokémon appeared.
One was tall, at least 3 meters high, and covered in hard armor.
This was Lairon's evolved form, the Iron Armor Pokémon -- Aggron.
The other was shorter, with sharp steel blades on its head and hands, and it was clear at a glance that it was very destructive.
This was Drilbur's final evolved form, the Subterrene Pokémon -- Excadrill.
As soon as the two Pokémon finished evolving, they attacked the tentacles with angry emotions.
Aggron used Body Slam to hug a tentacle, instantly tearing it apart.
Excadrill put its hands together, turning into a sharp drill, and used Drill Run, instantly twisting a tentacle into powder.
Talonflame and Staraptor were also extremely angry. They felt that it was because of themselves that Kirlia had encountered danger, so one used Brave Bird and the other used Close Combat to frantically attack the tentacles.
