Pokémon: The Road to the Champion of Full-Level Players

In the center of the vast square, circles of light occupy nearly half of the area, shining brightly. Countless figures gather together, looking at the darkness outside like a disguised hell in the colorful dizzy flames.

If it weren't for the timid, fearful, and vigilant expressions on their faces, and their whole bodies tense and ready, they would have looked like brightly lit and bustling night markets.

Even though there were thousands of spectators facing the darkness, they still subconsciously retreated towards the high platform. After all, there were powerful exhibition champions and runners-up, as well as several top leaders of the alliance. Out of blind trust, every time they took a step closer to the high platform, they became more and more powerful. A sense of security.

Among them, some gentlemen who had some confidence in their own strength stepped forward and chose to take the initiative. They asked the ladies to hide in the crowd while they faced the unknown darkness.

They organized themselves into teams one by one and stood at the outermost edge of the light. Moving forward, they could clearly detect that the light became fainter. The color of the ground is no longer vivid, the darkness is mixed with translucency, and the brightness looks quite dark. It was as if the ground was being fought over by shadow and light, like a dragon leaping over a tiger, and it was inextricable.

Looking farther away, the light has dimmed. The farther away I look, the darker it becomes, until not far away, I can't even see anything. It's like an invisible wall blocks the radiation of light and surrounds it. All of them, trapping them in place.

The stars in the sky were obscured by dark clouds, making them feel that they were being targeted by an unknown giant beast. Now they were within the opponent's bloody maw, but they didn't realize it.

Call ~

A gust of cold wind hit the faces of the outermost gentlemen like needles. Unexpectedly, there was a burning pain on their faces, which made them all want to lift their heads. Arms, trying to resist, but to no avail.

The wind was invisible, whistling in all directions from top to bottom, like an invisible dragon, rolling and flying. It was not something they could stop if they wanted to.

Their Pokémon noticed this and stood up in unison, standing in front of their respective trainers like a wall formed by peaks.

Woo~woo~

This time, the voice changed.

"Is that the wind?"

"No, I don't know!"

"Is there anyone else in the dark? Why does this sound sound like crying?"

The speaker was a young man who was not very old. He was squinting his eyes and staring at the dim darkness in front of him, as if he wanted to see through the fog-like obstacles.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and then they bloomed like sunlight. His unfocused eyes looked dim and dull, and his empty eyes stared straight ahead.

His limbs were stiff and he slowly raised one foot, with his toes touching the ground and his heels hanging in the air, and he slowly walked towards the darkness.

"Hey! Don't go, there's something wrong with this sound!" Someone tried to stop the young man, but when he just stretched out his hand to hold him, he suddenly took his hand back and covered his ears.

The "wind sound" seemed to have become sharper, extremely harsh, and a little strange, as if it was enough to pierce the eardrums. It was not at all like a cry that a normal person could make.

"Damn it!" someone scolded angrily.

Standing at the outermost edge, they looked at each other with different postures. There was no verbal communication, and they made a decision just by looking at each other briefly.

They issued almost identical commands to their respective Pokémon, all of which were defensive skills. Among them, there are many Pokémon with soundproofing properties that do not react at all because they are isolated from sound, but their trainers can still use slapping methods to signal them to release their skills.

Guard, magic reflection, mirror reflection...

Countless skills are displayed one by one, and beware of any possible crises that may arise from the darkness.

When the light of the released skill shone, the gentlemen hiding behind their respective Pokémon poked their heads out at the same time, covering their ears while looking ahead. At this moment, they were surprised to find that the young man who just walked forward had disappeared.

"How is this possible? Didn't he just walk out?" Some people couldn't believe it.

Because the light generated by the skills released by many Pokémon just now can shine very far away, so the range of vision they can see clearly at this moment has increased a lot. But despite this, they still didn't see the young man who just walked forward.

You know, the whole process from giving instructions to observing with the probe only takes two breaths.

Perhaps the Pokémon's defensive moves had an effect, and the harsh sound like crying in their ears gradually disappeared, so they were finally able to communicate normally.

At this time, someone discovered a problem.

"Look, his Pokémon is gone too!"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed.

Sure enough, there was a huge gap in the team lined up like a city wall, and several Pokémon sent by the young man disappeared in the blink of an eye.

And, the most shocking thing is that no one noticed when he took back his Pokémon, or how those Pokémon disappeared. Even the two trainers and their Pokémon beside him were unaware of this.

"This is so weird! How could such a bizarre thing happen? What is in the darkness? Is it a monster? Or a ghost?"

"Don't think about this anymore. Come quickly and fill the vacancy. Is there any more powerful trainer?"

"I come!"

At this time, a young man appeared in the crowd and raised his hand. He stared ahead with a stern expression. He could still remain calm in the face of such a shocking scene. When he reached the edge, he released a fire-breathing dragon.

"Are you... a top eight player, Hiro!?" Someone recognized the boy.

Hiro is still wearing his hat, and on his shoulder is his stubborn-haired Pikachu, Ren.

His Charizard, Yoshibo, although tall enough, was not big enough to make up for the gaps in the formation. Hiro noticed this and immediately threw several Poké Balls with stickers on them.

"Go! Bobby, Cruz, Roz!"

boom! boom! boom!

White light enveloped the ground, and the Pokémon's figure appeared.

In order, they are...Baby, Bada Die; Cruz, Bankelas; Roz, King Yan.

These Pokémon are far superior to other trainers' Pokémon in terms of aura and eyes. Obviously, this shows that there is a huge difference in strength between them, which makes others finally have some sense of security.

"Jibo, Renn, Bobby, Cruz, Roz, please stick to this line of defense and beware of dangers that may come from the darkness." Hiro said softly.

“@&%#……”

His Pokémon responded uncooperatively, then stared straight ahead.

Swish!

At this moment, there seemed to be something vague in the darkness, like fluttering ice fibers, wandering back and forth in the invisible darkness.

"What is that!" someone exclaimed, attracting the attention of others.

On the high platform, Fang Yuxuan, who had an inner eye, turned and looked into the distance following the voice, focusing on the dark area as gloomy as a black curtain. He frowned and the hair on his back stood up.

In his sight, there was a strange substance floating among the eerie black haze, like misty smoke. It had no solid shape, but looked like a huge evil smile.

The smile was vaguely formed, but the eyes were empty and dark, and there was a slender black void under the "eye sockets". There was no object there, but black blood and tears were dripping down, making the overall look extremely weird.

There were clearly no pupils, but Fang Yuxuan always felt that the indescribable thing seemed to have glanced at him, as if it was originally aimed at him.

It was as if his heart was being grasped by a big hand. He felt like he could hardly breathe. There seemed to be pressure around him, making it difficult for him to even stand firm.

"What should I do?" he asked in his heart.

Reason told him that he should leave this ghost place quickly like last time. Escape was the best choice, which would allow him to survive safely.

Do you want to be alone?

For some reason, Fang Yuxuan actually felt that this seemed to be the best way.

Just when he was about to lift his feet, it seemed that he really planned to follow "reason" and leave.

"No!" He suddenly yelled in his heart.

Gu Qi</span> bit the tip of his tongue hard, and the sharp stinging sensation made his brain wake up instantly. It was as if the haze in his heart had disappeared, and the absurd thoughts had completely disappeared.

"What's wrong with me?" Fang Yuxuan came to his senses, squatted down, and shook his head vigorously to avoid the drowsy feeling just now.

"Uh~uh~brother~what's wrong with you? Brother~"

The hazy whining in my ears gradually became clearer, and I could hear the general words clearly.

The female voice... is Qiqi!

She was calling herself urgently.

Fang Yuxuan turned his head and looked to his side. Qiqi's beautiful face was right in front of him. At this moment, her face was full of anxiety, her eyes were moist, and it seemed that she would shed tears like broken pearls at any time.

After seeing all this clearly, he put aside the suspicious thoughts in his mind without any hesitation and smiled at her.

"I'm fine, don't cry, I'm just thinking about something."

"You're lying! I've been calling you for a long time just now, but you don't look like you're thinking about anything." Qiqi said excitedly with a tearful voice.

"Pika~Pikachu!" Pikachu on the ground nodded solemnly, folded his two little hands on his chest very maturely, and looked at Fang Yuxuan with strange eyes, as if he was seconding her.

"Is that so?" Fang Yuxuan looked a little confused. Wasn't he just thinking about something? Is there anything else that was unreasonable?

"Cough cough!"

A cough attracted his attention, and following the sound, Dazhi and the man with glasses appeared on the other side at some point. They looked serious at this time, staring at Fang Yuxuan.

"What's the matter with you kid? Just now, your face was pale and bloodless, as ugly as a corpse, and your pupils were dull. We almost thought you were going to die." Dazhi explained to him unceremoniously.

"Well, it's just like the person who disappeared into the darkness before, but you... seem to be more serious." The man with glasses added.

Looking carefully at the people around him, he saw that none of them looked like they were joking. Fang Yuxuan rubbed his eyebrows. How could this be possible? Just thinking about why things are like this?

He raised his head and met Qiqi's bright, almond-shaped eyes with gleaming eyes and concern. Seeing her casually adjusting her skirt and squatting next to him, Fang Yuxuan turned his eyes away and looked at Dazhi and the man with glasses.

The strange and doubtful eyes and the quiet and tense atmosphere made him want to change the subject, "Now...is my face still like that? Is it normal?"

"Well, it's much more normal. At least there's some blood." Dazhi nodded in response.

Fang Yuxuan nodded slightly, and he had a vague guess in his heart. The strange "face" he saw with his inner eye must have been correct. The other party was probably coming towards him.

As for the situation just now, it is still unclear whether it was the other party's method. Because he once again remembered that Arya had hinted to him when he was under the Viridian Forest that he should use his mind's eye less.

Although she never stated the specific reason, there must be some basis that he didn't know clearly. He once thought that there might be a problem with the mind's eye itself, but due to some unavoidable reasons, the number of times he used the mind's eye has been increasing and has never stopped.

Therefore, the physical changes just now may also be caused by the side effects of the mind. In this way, he also realized that the "reason" just now did not come from his heart, but more like a whisper in his ears...

Is it an illusion? Or reality?

The feeling of phantom and reality made him unsure, but all in all, no matter what the situation was, it was not a good thing for him. Both are unknown, and only the unknown is the most terrifying thing in the world.

Just as he was thinking, something changed again in the darkness in the distance, causing everyone's eyes to be fixed there.

Countless grotesque figures emerged from the pitch-black "haze", and they were so dark that they resembled lightning and thunder, with dazzling white lights flashing from time to time, making those figures look even stranger and clearer.

A cold black mist filled the air, like dark clouds covering the sky, like rolling waves, ready to wreak havoc at any time.

"What is that?" someone asked.

Not far away, Zhao Weijian did not know when to release Hu Di. He was originally facing the back of the high platform. He also noticed the situation from the audience and looked at his old partner, trying to let him use his mental strength to reveal the other party's identity. .

"Hoo~!" Hu Di pinched the spoon in his hand, and a blue light glowed at the end of his eyes. The looming blue light was like a strong wind, impacting in the black mist.

Swish!

The blue light was like a stone falling into the sea. Not only did it not disperse the clouds, but it didn't even cause a ripple, making no movement at all. The black mist is still like a pulled black curtain, billowing sharply towards the light.

The light released by the Pokémon cannot penetrate the black haze, causing the range of light to continue to decrease, and the remaining corner of the land is also slowly shrinking.

In addition, there are other Pokémon under the command of the trainer, launching long-range attacks, with brilliant lights and thousands of arrows, bombarding in the black mist, but the result is the same as Zhao Weijian's Hu Di, which does not produce any effect.

"How could this happen?" a young executive exclaimed.

Zhao Weijian's face also became serious. He stared at the unknown figure in front of him like a frenzy and remained silent.

He is extremely confident about his Hu Di. You must know that even with super strong ambition, he never defeated his Hu Di when he was young. After many years, his Hu Di is definitely stronger than before. weak.

But facing the unknown existence in the distance, it didn't even have the ability to break through the black haze like a fog barrier and see through the opponent's identity.

The same is true for other trainers' Pokémon. Their long-range attacks seem to hit an invisible barrier without any ripples, as if those figures are illusory.

On a temporary high platform.

Staring at the black mist and the countless figures inside, Fang Yuxuan, who had already stood up, recalled the "monsters" he had faced with Aaliya when they were under the Viridian Forest.

Before leaving Joban City, he learned from the person in charge of the dark organization's Joban Forest stronghold that those monsters may not have been wiped out.

Thinking of this, his face was full of confusion. Could it be that those guys who have not been completely eliminated came out? Did they break through King Juzi's guard?

If these monster-like existences really come to the ground and enter the city, what else can they resist? At first, even his Charizard couldn't completely destroy them with one blow. Now that they have been strengthened, can the Charizard still be able to resist them?

On the side, Qiqi, who had always paid attention to Fang Yuxuan, couldn't help but worry when she saw his face, "Brother, can't even you deal with those guys?"

Her words caused several people who were waiting around to look here. Most of the staff near the high platform were facing the back. Unlike the front, there were no other changes here for the time being, so they could focus on On both of them.

Paying attention to Fang Yuxuan's expression, Dazhi raised his eyebrows, "Looking at your appearance, have you seen these guys before?"

Fang Yuxuan remained silent, staring at the guys slowly approaching, thoughtfully.

Seeing him being so silent, the people around him seemed to have received a silent answer. They looked at each other and communicated with their eyes.

Zhao Weijian also looked back at this side, and then continued to work with Hu Di to think of ways to stop the black mist from advancing, because somewhere in the dark, he always had a premonition that once he was approached by those figures, there would definitely be no good results. .

He never thought about taking everyone to escape, because this is the stupidest choice. There is unknown darkness all around. If they are really scattered, they will be the most vulnerable by then, and some people will definitely fall into despair. The situation is nothing more than a matter of time.

What's more, they still don't know what the goals of these "people" are. If they leave directly, what should the other citizens of Nibi City do?

At least, they here have gathered many powerful trainers. They still have the strength to fight, but ordinary people do not. As one of the top leaders of the league, he has to think about ordinary people.

While thinking of a solution, he did not forget to pay some attention and listen to the conversation of Fang Yuxuan and others behind him.

"Do you really know something? You were the first to remind us just now. Isn't there any good way now?" Dazhi asked eagerly.

If not all of his main force had been seriously injured and had not had time to be sent to the Pokémon Center for training, otherwise he would have directly sent Bankiras to give those figures a powerful blow of destruction and death, insisting that they should have a taste of it.

"I just think they look familiar. I'm not sure if they are the 'guys' I've seen before, and I don't know if they have any flaws." Fang Yuxuan said, what he said was the truth, regardless of whether the figures in front of him were the ones in his impression. The weaknesses of those weird guys that he knew must have been useless for a long time. This was confirmed by the person in charge of that stronghold.

"No matter what, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor first! Just think of those guys as the guys in your impression." Dazhi said in a loud voice, directly rolling up his sleeves, almost without taking action himself.

"Yes, let's try it." People around him started to agree.

Seeing them all speaking like this, Fang Yuxuan nodded a little helplessly and spoke clearly: "Fire attribute, lethal moves..."
