Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 401: Weaving Lies

After wailing for a long time, Shota slowly came out of the indescribable emotions.

Shota's inky black pupils stared at Gardevoir's ruby-like eyes, as if he wanted to imprint them deeply in his mind.

Then, Shota said something that made Gardevoir a little confused:

"I'm glad you're back. It doesn't matter if I start all over again. It's just that my gift isn't ready yet, but it will be soon."

Slowly breaking free from Gardevoir's embrace, Shota looked at Yi Wei, who had already woken up standing in the corner, and said:

"I think you should know what to say next, right?"

Yi Wei met his cold gaze. It was hard to imagine that this guy would actually cry one day.

Yi Wei thought so in her heart, but she still nodded to Shota's words.

But when Yi Wei couldn't help but think of her sister, obvious worry appeared in her eyes.

But according to my feeling, she is still alive, so I should still have a chance.

Watching the two people leaving the laboratory holding hands, Yi Wei quickly followed them.

In the corridor outside the laboratory, Dr. Fuji felt bloated and painful all over, as if his whole body was about to fall apart.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and then saw Shota placing a hand with some unknown power on his head.

"The power of Tokiwa? Sakaki also has this ability..."

As Dr. Fuji thought this, his consciousness slowly returned to normal as the power of Tokiwa continued to heal him.

As soon as he regained consciousness, Dr. Fuji ignored the unknown pain in his body and grabbed Shota's shoulders and said anxiously:

"Chief, Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai she..."

Looking at Dr. Fuji, who was so anxious that his lips were not even in order, Shota just shook his head calmly, as if everything was self-explanatory.

Seeing Shota shaking his head, Dr. Fuji seemed to have aged a dozen years and lowered his head.

"You better come and take a look."

As Shota said this, he took Gardevoir's hand and re-entered the central laboratory.

After hesitating for a moment, Dr. Fuji slowly got up from the ground and looked at Yi Wei who was releasing healing waves to Butler.

Yi Wei also noticed Dr. Fuji's gaze, shook her head slightly, and said:

"Something went wrong with the summoning ritual. I know some of the reasons, but not much. You'd better ask him."

Listening to what Yi Wei said, Dr. Fuji staggered into the central laboratory.

As soon as he entered the central laboratory, he saw the chaos in the central laboratory:

Almost all the devices and experimental equipment here were destroyed, with various parts scattered everywhere. Unknown culture fluid also flowed out of the pipes under the action of gravity and spilled everywhere.

The glass in the culture container in the center also shattered, but it seemed that it was not caused by the impact, but rather shattered from the inside out, and the life form inside also disappeared.

Dr. Fuji looked at the life form standing next to Shota, his heart full of doubts.

He strode forward, but before long, he saw a yellow and white elf lying on the ground, without any sign of life.

Looking at its horrible appearance, even though he had participated in the Mewtwo experiment, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and the hair on his back stood up.

However, he quickly recognized the elf and exclaimed:

"Jirachi!"

Hearing the exclamation behind him, Shota stopped the telepathic conversation with Gardevoir and pulled Gardevoir to Professor Fuji.

Before he could speak, Dr. Fuji said:

"You used Jirachi's wish power, but why did it die so miserably? Logically, this shouldn't be the case. Even if it consumed the energy in its body, it would just turn into starlight and dissipate in this world."

Listening to Dr. Fuji's analysis, Shota felt a little surprised. Just as he was about to ask something, Dr. Fuji directly answered his doubts:

“I once worked on it with Ohki.

But the most important thing now is not this, I want to know, what exactly happened in this?"

Looking at the serious expression of Dr. Fuji, Shota and Gardevoir looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then Shota said:

"What happened is roughly like this. I made a wish to this Jirachi and summoned her back."

As he said this, Shota turned his gaze to Gardevoir, and as Professor Fuji frowned, he continued:

"Then, when I made a wish to summon your daughter's soul back, this Jirachi suddenly stared at me intently and spoke word by word: Why? Your wish will offend it...

After that, this Jirachi became what you see now."

Listening to what Shota said, Dr. Fuji fell into deep thought.

But before Dr. Fuji could think for too long, Shota put his hand on his chin and muttered to himself:

"If my guess is correct, your daughter, Xiao Ai, is probably in the hands of the Pluto Dragon, Giratina. I once encountered it in the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town and am familiar with the ominous aura it exudes.

And when this Jirachi died and when the ground shook just now, I also smelled its scent."

Listening to Shota's vague mumbling, Dr. Fuji looked up and saw affirmation in Shota's eyes.

Dr. Fuji couldn't help but collapse and sat down on the ground.

He shouted in a distraught voice:

"Xiao Ai, my daughter, Xiao Ai... Daddy couldn't..."

Seeing Dr. Fuji's decadent look, Shota's mouth curled up into a smile. He loosened his grip on Gardevoir's hand, slowly walked towards Dr. Fuji, squatted in front of Dr. Fuji, and said:

"Since we have confirmed that your daughter is in the hands of that beast, why don't you take her back?

Are you scared?"

Listening to Shota whispering in his ear, Dr. Fuji didn't care about what he said before, but the last sentence seemed to have triggered his reverse scale. He stood up from the ground, stared at Shota angrily and said:

"Who would be afraid? For my daughter, I'm not even afraid of death!"

Looking at the extremely angry Dr. Fuji, Shota clapped his hands.
