Chapter 262:卑鄙的人类！！！
After Ya Xuan disappeared from their sight, An Jie also bid farewell to Madam Ge Jihua, intending to set off immediately for the Terminus Cave (previously mistakenly written as the Glimmering Cave, now corrected).
Madam Ge Jihua said, "Go on, you're always welcome to visit again."
An Jie smiled and said, "I'll definitely come again when I have time."
As he spoke, An Jie took out a box from his backpack and handed it to Madam Ge Jihua, "This is for you."
This box was exactly the same as the one An Jie had given Ya Xuan for wine, so Madam Ge Jihua instantly understood what was inside.
"Then I won't be polite!" Madam Ge Jihua generously accepted the box from An Jie's hand.
An Jie gave Ya Xuan red wine, while he gave Madam Ge Jihua fruit wine.
After saying goodbye to Madam Ge Jihua, An Jie rode on Latios and set off towards the Terminus Cave.
As for Baltoy, An Jie still left it with Madam Ge Jihua for training.
The Terminus Cave was very close to Baccarat City. With Latios's speed, An Jie arrived at his destination in less than half an hour.
Getting off Latios, An Jie saw an abandoned mine.
That's right, the Terminus Cave was originally a mine, but it was abandoned due to the depletion of resources.
Gradually, a large number of Pokémon gathered here, attracting many trainers to come and adventure.
Later, trainers who came to explore frequently reported that there were monsters haunting the place. Slowly, the Terminus Cave became a deserted place.
An Jie guessed that the monster in the trainers' mouths should be Zygarde.
Since Zygarde had settled here, it naturally didn't want people constantly running around and disturbing it.
An Jie looked around and found that it was quiet and didn't seem like a place where a large number of Pokémon lived.
"Let's go in!" An Jie said to Latios.
"Woo ~ ~" Latios nodded and followed An Jie into the cave.
The other Pokémon had been put into their Poké Balls by An Jie before setting off. At this moment, only Latios was with him.
After entering the cave, An Jie saw the tracks that were built to transport minerals, but most of them had decayed due to disrepair.
As he walked, An Jie suddenly heard the sound of stones breaking and falling from above. He looked up and saw several Durant clinging to the top of the cave, gnawing on the ore.
Seeing An Jie looking over, the Durant were startled and quickly dropped the ore they were eating, running away like the wind and soon disappearing into the darkness.
With a crash, the stones fell down. An Jie picked them up and was surprised to find that they were Hard Stones.
Hard Stone, a held item that increases the power of Rock-type moves used by the holder by 20%.
These Durant have a really good diet! An Jie couldn't help but sigh. They actually eat Hard Stones as food. No wonder they all look like little lambs, and their bodies are shiny and bright.
These Hard Stones should have been formed after the mine was abandoned; otherwise, the mine wouldn't have been abandoned.
Several Hard Stones had already been torn apart by the Durant, and were obviously unusable.
Casually throwing the Hard Stone fragments on the ground, An Jie got up and looked around.
Since the Durant are feeding here, then the Hard Stones are likely to be found here.
Sure enough, after searching around, An Jie found something different in a corner of the cave, so he pointed there and said to Latios:
"Latios, Dragon Breath."
"Woo ~ ~"
Latios nodded and spat out a green energy beam. With a roar, the rocks in that corner were blasted open, revealing the Hard Stones hidden inside.
An Jie exclaimed, "So many?"
The walls were covered with Hard Stones.
At this time, Latios suddenly burst into bright light, illuminating the surroundings.
An Jie patted its neck and said, "Latios, you're a big help!"
"Woo ~ ~" Latios smiled and waved its claws at An Jie, indicating that it was nothing.
Soon An Jie and Latios reached a bend. As soon as they turned the corner, a shadow suddenly appeared out of nowhere and attacked them.
"Ah ~ ~ ~"
"Ah ~ ~ ~"
......
A series of sharp screeches came from the shadows, causing An Jie and Latios to have splitting headaches.
It's Supersonic!
An Jie took a closer look and found that he was being attacked by a group of Noibat.
Noibat, the Sound Wave Pokémon, Flying and Dragon type. It can control sound waves of all frequencies, and the released ultrasonic waves can cause dizziness.
Obviously, the Noibat were startled by the bright light released by Latios.
Seeing that the Noibat were agitated, An Jie had no choice but to say to Latios, "Latios, Psychic!"
As An Jie's voice fell, a blue light flashed in Latios's eyes. In an instant, the Noibat, which had been flapping their wings and flying around, were instantly frozen in mid-air.
Latios exerted a little force, and the Noibat fell to the ground like dumplings, and the noisy ultrasonic waves disappeared instantly.
Finally quiet! An Jie rubbed his aching temples and breathed a sigh of relief.
Latios didn't use much force, so the Noibat only fainted and were not seriously injured.
An Jie fed them some juice and milk, and they quickly woke up.
An Jie apologized for startling the Noibat, and the Noibat also apologized for their panicked attack.
The reason they were so alarmed was because a group of people had come here some time ago. They didn't know what they were doing in the Terminus Cave, but they made a lot of noise and also created bright lights from time to time.
The Noibat didn't like bright lights, so they were disturbed.
Hearing the Noibat's words, An Jie's heart moved. Could those people be Team Flare members?
So he asked, "Do you know where those people are now?"
The Noibat shook their heads. They hadn't heard strange noises coming from the cave for some time, maybe they had already left.
The Terminus Cave is very large, and the tunnels are interconnected. In addition to the tunnels left by the mine, there are also passages dug out by the Pokémon later.
The Noibat only live in fixed areas, so they don't know the situation in other places.
"I see..." Not getting any useful information, An Jie was a little disappointed. "Then do you know about Zygarde's situation?"
The Noibat looked at each other upon hearing this.
Zygarde? They didn't know it.
It turned out that Zygarde had always lived in the deepest part of the Terminus Cave and rarely appeared in front of other Pokémon, so most of the Pokémon in the Terminus Cave didn't know of Zygarde's existence.
"Okay, thank you!" Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of them, An Jie didn't waste any more time. He took out some food and distributed it to the Noibat, "Here, this is for you!"
The Noibat happily accepted the food and then flapped their wings, disappearing into the darkness.
Saying goodbye to the Noibat, Anjie continued to venture deeper into the Terminus Cave.
As Anjie continued to advance into the depths of the Terminus Cave, a great battle was breaking out in the deepest part of the cave.
The two sides fighting were a Salamence and several people wearing red uniforms.
If Anjie were here at this moment, he would definitely recognize that this Salamence was the one that carried Z2 around back then.
“Roar~~”
Salamence was extremely angry at this moment, roaring angrily at the people and Pokémon surrounding it below. Immediately afterward, a torrent of flames spewed out from its mouth, turning the area below into a sea of fire.
“Houndoom!”
At this moment, the leader of the group shouted. Immediately following, a Houndoom jumped out. It opened its mouth and inhaled, instantly swallowing all the flames into its belly.
After absorbing the flames, Houndoom was not only unharmed, but its entire body also emitted a bright red light.
Obviously, this Houndoom's ability was Flash Fire, and Fire-type moves could not harm it.
After the sea of fire disappeared, two more Pokémon jumped out from who knows where, and they pounced on Salamence from the left and right.
Moreover, both of them were Fairy-type Pokémon that countered Salamence.
One was an Azumarill with Water and Fairy typing, and the other was a Jigglypuff with Normal and Fairy typing.
The move Azumarill used was Play Rough, while the move Jigglypuff used was Dazzling Gleam.
Of course, Salamence was not so easy to deal with.
It opened its bloody mouth and bit the incoming Azumarill with a Thunder Fang.
Then, the blood-red wings on its back vibrated violently, and countless Air Slash flew out, instantly submerging Jigglypuff.
Azumarill instantly lost its ability to fight after landing. Jigglypuff, because of its higher level, barely stood up again, swaying.
Just as the two Fairy-type Pokémon were repelled, two more Ice-type Pokémon jumped out from the darkness.
One was a pure Ice-type Glalie, and the other was a Dark and Ice-type Weavile.
Obviously, these people were all prepared and the Pokémon they prepared were all aimed at Salamence.
As soon as the two Ice-type Pokémon appeared, gusts of wind and snow appeared out of thin air. Clearly, one of them used Snowscape.
Snowscape would turn the weather into snow and increase the Defense of Ice-type Pokémon, which was extremely unfavorable for the Dragon and Flying-type Salamence.
Along with the Snowscape, there were also incredibly thick icicles that floated directly above Salamence's head, and then fell one after another, smashing towards Salamence.
It was Icicle Crash!
“Roar~~”
Salamence roared, and raging flames spewed out from its mouth. In an instant, all the icicles melted into water vapor and disappeared.
Taking advantage of Salamence's response to the icicles, Weavile and Glalie charged at it together.
Weavile waved its claws, and the claws were overflowing with cold air. It was Ice Punch; Glalie's mouth extended with huge fangs, also emitting a chilling cold air. It was Ice Fang.
But they obviously underestimated Salamence's strength.
Salamence raised its slender tail and smashed Glalie with a Dragon Tail. Glalie slammed heavily into a rock wall, directly following in Azumarill's footsteps.
Then it raised its Dragon Claw and slammed it **** on Weavile's body.
Weavile screamed and flew out. Although its level was slightly higher than Jigglypuff, it was a glass cannon, so it also immediately lost its ability to fight.
At this time, wisps of pink mist appeared on Jigglypuff's body, and in the blink of an eye, it permeated the entire cave.
It was Misty Terrain.
Under Misty Terrain, the damage caused by Dragon-type moves was halved!
Not only that, but the Fairy-type energy spread throughout the field would also make Dragon-type Pokémon very uncomfortable.
Snow was floating in the air, and Misty Terrain was permeating below, which made Salamence feel extremely painful, and it became even more irritable and furious.
At this time, the leader made another move. He rolled up his sleeves, revealing a bracelet on his wrist, which was inlaid with a Key Stone.
He said coldly, “Houndoom, Mega Evolve!”
“Awoo~”
Houndoom howled to the sky. The next second, the Houndoominite hidden in its body and the Key Stone on the leader's wrist resonated, and a strong light burst out.
In the strong light, Houndoom's body changed dramatically. Its original height of less than meters directly soared to nearly 2 meters.
After the Mega Evolution was completed, Houndoom jumped up and spat out a Dark Pulse towards Salamence.
However, Salamence didn't take Houndoom seriously at all. After flapping its wings and easily dodging Houndoom's attack, it came to Houndoom's side in the blink of an eye and raised its Dragon Claw to slap Houndoom.
At this time, a layer of protective shield appeared around Houndoom, blocking Salamence's attack, and it landed easily.
Salamence attacked again, sweeping out a Dragon Pulse with its mouth, but Houndoom was extremely fast, dodging the attack while moving and jumping, and roaring.
This was the Dark-type move Snarl.
Although this move was not strong, it was difficult to defend against and could reduce the opponent's Special Attack.
Moreover, Houndoom's purpose was not to attack Salamence.
Under Houndoom's endless Snarl, Salamence was upset and distracted. In addition, the Snowscape and Misty Terrain had not disappeared at this time, making it even more uncomfortable.
Just when Salamence's attention was distracted, the two people hiding in the dark made their move. They each held a gun in their hands.
They aimed the guns at Salamence, and as two sounds of breaking through the air rang out, two needles were inserted into the weak points on Salamence's wings, and the unknown liquid in the needles was immediately injected into Salamence's body.
Salamence's body was covered with thick Dragon scales, and ordinary needle heads could not pierce it at all. Only the softest part of the inside of its wings was its weak point.
Therefore, the previous attacks by Azumarill, Jigglypuff, Weavile, and Glalie were not aimed at defeating Salamence.
Although they were super effective against Salamence in terms of type matchups, the huge gap in strength made it impossible for them to defeat Salamence.
So their real purpose was just to disrupt Salamence.
Houndoom was the same.
The effect of the medicine took effect quickly. Salamence suddenly felt dizzy, and then it felt that its body was out of control.
“Roar~~ Roar~~” It roared, but its voice was filled with weakness.
Bang~~~
With a loud noise, Salamence fell heavily from the sky to the ground, then tilted its head and passed out.
Despicable humans! Before losing consciousness, Salamence thought angrily.
Seeing this scene, the people in red uniforms breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as they were about to step forward and capture Salamence, a blue and white light shot out, instantly freezing the ground beneath their feet.
Everyone was startled and subconsciously retreated, and then they saw a Pokémon walking out of the darkness, blocking the unconscious Salamence.
