Chapter 175 The Anomaly of the Dome Swamp
Chapter 175 The Anomaly of the Dome Swamp
The Azure Flame Blade Demon brothers became wary as they saw Zoroark charging towards them like a madman.
I'm ready to fight this Pokémon to the death.
A voice rang out just before Zoroark was about to rush towards the Azure Flame Blade Demon.
"That's about it, Gengar, use hypnosis."
Gengar, who had been covering for his two underlings, had been waiting for the trainer to call him.
Emerging from stealth, his blood-red eyes gleamed as he met Zoroark's gaze.
Just one glance.
Zoroark's speed slowed down.
Then, due to poor coordination, he tripped and fell into the muddy water.
Its grayish-white fur and snow-white hair were also stained with mud, turning it into a drenched chicken and a beggar's chicken.
“Kou Jie”.
Seeing that he had successfully hypnotized the Pokémon and to prevent it from feigning defeat again, Gengar went up and poked Zoroark's head.
Only after realizing it was truly asleep did I give Guihai a 'done' gesture.
Guihai also took out a Poké Ball and threw it out.
The Poké Ball bearing the unique mark of the Ghost Sea drew an arc in the air and landed on this Zoroark, a Pokémon of a special regional form.
The sphere opened, took it inside, and then spun back into Guihai's hand.
Looking at the Poké Ball, Yao Ran, who had been observing without intervening, asked, "Prosecutor Guihai, were you also led here by this Pokémon?"
Guihai tossed the Poké Ball in his hand and nodded.
"Yes, it disguised itself as you and said that the Ancient Snail had entered this swamp, and asked me and it to chase after it."
"I'm pretty much the same, but it's disguised as Prosecutor Oni-kai."
Yao Ran explained his situation, then looked at the Poké Ball in Gui Hai's hand and said:
"This is the first time I've ever heard of a Pokémon that can learn human language."
"Never underestimate any Pokémon; you never know, even a Meowth on the street might be able to speak human language."
Guihai didn't put the Poké Ball away, but held it in his hand and examined it repeatedly.
It seems to want to see Zoroark being healed by the Poké Ball inside.
Yao Ran, unsure whether Miao Miao could speak, brought up another matter.
"Prosecutor Guihai, have you encountered any very strong Pokémon?"
Guihai withdrew his gaze from the Poké Ball and met Yao Ran's eyes.
"It seems you've noticed something's wrong too."
Yao Ran took out a Poké Ball containing a Toxtricity: "I encountered a very strong Toxtricity. It's clearly not a Pokémon that should appear in this location."
Then he looked around and said, "Besides, there are too few Pokémon around here. I've only encountered a dozen or so wild Pokémon along the way, which is definitely not normal."
"Given the unusual nature of this Zoroark in my hand, it seems we've encountered some kind of incident."
Gui Hai speculated after hearing Yao Ran's analysis.
Then he turned and looked into the depths of the swamp: "And the source should be in there."
"So, King Yao, are you going to find the Ancient Slipper Snail first, or go check out the swamp first?"
This question left Yao Ran in a difficult position.
Logically speaking, as a legendary Pokémon of calamity, the Ancient Snail should pose a greater threat to the League.
This Pokémon's situation should be addressed first.
However, this swamp is clearly not normal, and it is very close to the city.
It also needs to be investigated and dealt with, otherwise it would be even worse if a large number of Pokémon from the swamp rushed into the city and caused casualties.
Fortunately, she wasn't the only powerful member of the alliance here.
There is also a very trustworthy senior prosecutor from the coalition, and they can easily split up into two groups.
Thinking of this, Yao Ran looked up into Gui Hai's eyes.
Seeing the look in Yao Ran's eyes, Gui Hai knew what the other person wanted to say.
Before she could speak, he interrupted, "King Yao Ran, if you want to suggest that we split into two groups, one to search for the Ancient Slip Snail and the other to explore this swamp, please allow me to refuse."
"why."
Yao Ran was puzzled.
Gui Hai conjured the Poké Ball he had previously used to capture the Turtle-Snake duo and tossed it to Yao Ran:
"Because they told me that there were very strong creatures deep in the swamp that were hunting them, and they had to leave their habitat to escape."
Adding to the poisonous skull frogs you encountered, I think there are formidable enemies in this swamp, and it's very likely a large poaching organization, so we'd better not split up.
Yao Ran caught the Poké Ball from the Turtle-Snake duo.
By this time, Blastoise and Arbok inside had woken up and breathed a sigh of relief at being away from the Ghost Sea.
Using his water-type energy, he interacted with the relatively friendly Blastoise for a while.
Yao Ran thought Gui Hai's speculation made a lot of sense.
There is probably a large poaching organization in this swamp.
Even wild Elite Four Pokémon can be threatened.
"You want to investigate the anomaly in the swamp first?"
Yao Ran understood all this and also discerned Gui Hai's intentions.
"Yes, Gu Jianwo must have been seriously injured in the battle with you, so finding it won't be easy."
"But we now have a target whose strength and purpose are questionable, so there is no reason not to take a look."
Yao Ran pondered for a moment and also felt that there was some truth to it.
Gu Jianwo is injured and should be hiding away to heal.
The most important thing right now is to deal with the immediate troubles.
Without finding the anomaly in this swamp, the towns and cities built near it could be in danger at any time.
"Alright, let's go inside and see what kind of monsters and demons dare to cause trouble here."
After that, Gui Hai and Yao Ran stopped leisurely crawling through the swamp.
They immediately switched to their respective flying Pokémon.
A hurricane blew along the way, dispersing the thick fog in front of them, and they flew at high speed.
The two didn't see many Pokémon along the way.
However, after flying for more than ten minutes, groups of Pokémon appeared in droves.
Moreover, their routes of advance were almost identical to those of Gui Hai and Yao Ran.
They were all heading towards the center of the swamp.
It was as if something there was drawing them in.
Let them look like drunkards suffering from an alcohol craving, their eyes glazed over as they head in that direction.
Even when the strange winds of the Ghost Sea blew on them, they didn't react at all.
It's like being poisoned.
Seeing this scene, Gui Hai and Yao Ran became even more certain that something was happening in the swamp.
The two of them couldn't help but slow down.
At that moment, Gengar suddenly appeared next to Ghost Sea and whispered something in his ear.
The fat man's face was full of seriousness.
Ghost Sea was also somewhat surprised to hear Gengar's whisper, and looked at the chubby Gengar.
"you sure?"
“Kou Jie”.
Gengar nodded seriously.
Seeing the two guys acting so mysteriously, Yao Ran asked, "Prosecutor Gui Hai, have you discovered something?"
Guihai looked down at the mud on the ground, which was covered with crawling marks.
"This swamp is full of toxins, and not just any toxins, but toxins with some kind of lubricant."
"Right now, all the Pokémon in the swamp are probably infected with this poison and are walking into the trap set by the central hunters."
