Pokémon: Encounter

Chapter 384: White Mist, Longzi's New Power

"Can you do it, big sister?"

"This is our seventh attempt to enter the Awakening Temple this week. It's been a week!"

"If I had known this would happen, I would have already finished the first battle facility."

Nan Fang was sitting on a rented speedboat and complaining to Xi Jiana who had just landed from a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"It shouldn't be like this... I've been to the Awakening Temple many times. It's like an underwater cave, not a secret place like the Sky Tower. How could it be like this?"

The two of them looked at the large mass of white fog in front of them and fell into silence.

According to Xijiana, the location of the Awakening Temple is on a deserted island in the north-west of Liuli City. Its entrance is an ancient ruin on the ground.

Its main body is right below the ruins.

Although there are some mechanisms left over from ancient times on the way into the temple, Xijiana patted her chest and guaranteed that she would never trigger any of them.

But in fact, the two of them had been traveling back and forth on the sea route between Liuli City and the temple for seven days.

From driving a wooden boat, a motorboat, a speedboat to riding on Pidgeot and Dragonite, and then to the last time they entered the underwater cave, the two of them held onto Gyarados and walked underwater.

Every time, after rushing into the white fog, the two of them would lose their way after a short while and return empty-handed.

This time, when catching Gyarados, although Nan Fang was prepared, he still almost missed seeing the sun the next day.

The south has cast a huge shadow on diving. With a set of professional diving equipment, it can sink you directly to the bottom of the sea.

Xijiana thought the South was useless so she went to explore it herself wearing a diving suit, but still found nothing.

This cloud of white fog seemed to have some kind of magic, the deeper you went, the more confused you became about the direction. But when you decided to turn around and leave, you could walk out safely in less than two minutes.

"The location cannot be wrong. This is where the Awakening Temple is located. This group of white mist is also the best proof."

"I just don't know what happened here during this time. Could it be Shui Wutong or Daigo who did it?"

Xijiana said with certainty and doubt.

"How about we go fight in the frontier area first?" Nan Fang asked.

"Although they are in two completely opposite directions, after I challenge the frontier area, maybe this fog will dissipate on its own."

"I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet."

"First of all, Team Lava no longer exists, and the Indigo Orb is in our hands."

“So whether it’s Shui Wutong or Daigo, at least their plans will definitely be affected to some extent by this.”

"Maybe because of this, they will show up and look for us."

"We have been here for a week and have tried everything, but in the end there is no progress."

"Maybe we can change our thinking for the time being." Nan Fang said patiently.

"What you said makes sense. We can wait, and they can wait too. But the one in the sky, the meteorite that is powerful enough to destroy the entire South Island, can't wait. And the millions of South Islanders, the flower-growing people, and even the people of the entire world, can they wait?"

Nan Fang was stunned for a moment. Looking at Xi Jiana's expressionless face and calm tone, he didn't know what to say.

In fact, Nan Fang doesn’t take the falling meteorite that seriously.

In today's society, even if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up. Even if it is true, with the current technology, it is impossible for those big guys to have no countermeasures at all. They will even make sufficient preparations long in advance.

A meteorite falls that is large enough to affect more than half of the Earth. Could a disaster of this magnitude really happen?

Seeing Xijiana so persistently believing in the prophecy of their tribe and giving everything for it, Nan Fang still felt a little bit reluctant.

It seems that I have to find some time to give Long Xing or Guan Qing, the two big guys, a call and try.

The atmosphere fell silent again, and the two stared at the white mist in front of them in a daze.

"Gyarados."

Having nothing to do, and also to relieve the dull atmosphere, Nan Fang called out Gyarados and planned to train it. After all, our Dragon Dragon had just obtained something incredible recently.

"Longzi, I'll give you a chance. Although we don't have an opponent to experiment with right now, it doesn't prevent us from exploring on our own, right~"

"I know you're looking forward to it, too. Come on! Let's do it!"

Nan Fang rubbed his hands together and excitedly took out the Gyarados Key Stone given to him by Adam.

【Hmm?】Silly Longzi was confused.

But when Nan Fang took out Long Zi's evolution stone, a wonderful feeling suddenly appeared, making Long Zi feel refreshed all over.

The word "destiny" gradually emerged in Longzi's mind.

Gyarados's long tail began to swing from side to side, and its big eyes were shining as it stared at the colored stone in Nanfang's hand without blinking.

【Hey hey hey! 】

"You feel excited too, right? Hehehe!"

"What a couple..." Xijiana rolled her eyes.

Nan Fang took out the pendant hanging on his chest that already had two stones on it, and then carefully strung the third stone on it.

"It's more convenient to hang it on my chest. I don't want to make a ring and look like Daigo... As for Longzi, just hide behind your big horns!" Nan Fang muttered softly and put the evolution stone on the top of Gyarados' head.

Although she already knew the abundance of MEGA energy in the South, Xijiana couldn't help but be shocked when she saw it with her own eyes.

Is it really true that it won’t be squeezed dry?

"Ahem! Next, it's time to witness a miracle!"

"What kind of miracle is this? Isn't Mega Evolution like drinking water to you? Three? Who would believe that? I'm tired...really." Xijiana didn't want to complain anymore.

"Huh... Are you ready, Ryuko?! Stronger, braver, more beautiful! Sweet blue...! Pfft!"

"Get angry! Red streamer! Gyarados! Mega evolution!"

With a roar from the south, the light of bond shone brightly.

Gyarados's body shape began to change. Especially its front half, which became thicker than before. The scales on its back suddenly bulged, and the fins on its back and chin became wider and extended backwards. Especially its dorsal fin, which changed from one piece to two pieces, looked like a pair of wings, and was extremely sharp.

Its lower jaw shortened slightly, and its two red whiskers grew longer and longer, until they reached nearly half the length of its body.

The most prominent feature is the trident-shaped horn on its head. Not only is the color darker, but the middle branch has even grown to the back of the neck.

"Great! This is the real 'great brutality'!" Nan Fang snapped his fingers excitedly. Even Xi Jiana beside him couldn't help but sigh that the ferocity of Gyarados was comparable to that of Tyrannosaurus.

"Show us your power now!"

"Aim at the white fog! Use the destruction ray!"

At this moment, Gyarados' entire body seemed to be burned by a raging fire, so hot that it seemed to ignite the surrounding air. Its body was trembling slightly due to extreme anger and tension, and it urgently needed to find an outlet to vent the energy accumulated in its heart.

When it received the order from the south, Gyarados's eyes instantly became sharp. It stared at the front, as if it could see its enemy through the layers of fog. With a low roar, Gyarados opened its bloody mouth, and a huge energy wave gushed out of its mouth, forming a spectacular column of fire.

"Bang!" Along with this loud noise, the pillar of fire rushed towards the white fog like a volcanic eruption, breaking a gap in it that could not heal for a long time.

Gyarados's powerful strength was amazing, but it also showed that it was in an extremely dangerous state at the moment, because even after successfully releasing the energy, its body continued to tremble.

“Roar!!!” Gyarados’ eyes turned red as he roared angrily.

"Oh no! Maybe because this is the first time it's in contact, its mega energy is going out of control!"

"If it can't find a suitable way to release this energy in time, it will probably cause serious damage to itself." Shijiana saw the problem with Gyarados at a glance.

"I was too impatient! We have to stop it!"

The two immediately released their other Pokémon companions. However, because they could not bear to use too much force, they just chose to keep fighting with it to consume its physical strength. But such a crazy and ferocious beast is not so easy to deal with.

"Yas!"

Just as Nan Fang was concentrating on dealing with Gyarados's loss of control, a light voice suddenly sounded in Nan Fang's ears.

Hmm? Nan Fang turned his head and looked away.

"What are you still waiting for? Control it quickly!" Xijiana shouted anxiously.

Nan Fang did not respond. He only frowned slightly, trying to sense another direction, and slowly closed his eyes. Because there was a familiar power there.

Tick ​​tock!

"There!" Nan Fang opened his eyes and shouted.

With Nan Fang's sudden confirmation, a figure gradually appeared in the air and slowly began to transform from a transparent state into a solid entity.
