Bamboo Orchid: If you don't come soon, you'll die.

Chapter 85 Bamboo Orchid: If you don't come soon, you'll die (3.5K)

Beneath the blazing sun, his limbs outstretched in a slightly frenzied manner, dim red chains danced wildly in his hands.

At the other end of the chain was a silver-white figure that appeared from a spatial fluctuation.

The silver-white figure roared to the sky.

Like a prehistoric behemoth standing upright on two legs, its body is adorned with deep purple stripes, and two pink orbs are inlaid on its shield-like shoulders, swaying constantly with its crimson eyes.

Zhu Lan knew: This was Palucci, the legendary god of space who created the concept of "space".

"Has it already been summoned?" Her face was pale.

Chi Ri also noticed the figure who had arrived at Tianguan Mountain first. He turned his head, his eyes filled with madness, and his face was grim. "Why did it have to be at this time—."

The fact that the "red chain" he used was merely a replica made using the Maku City meteorite and Team Galactic technology put him under considerable pressure.

If we add the external factor of this championship, with the three sides clashing and balancing each other, how long will it take for him to maintain control over Palucci?

"I can't let you bother me, Magnemite, Mega Self-Destruct!"

He flicked his hand.

The Magneton he summoned from the Poké Ball also had the same crazed look in its eyes as Red Sun. Surrounded by lightning, it rushed towards Cyndaquil at the other end of the spear pillar, its whole body flashing with a reckless white light.

Magneton unleashed its detonation attack without hesitation!

A terrifying mushroom cloud began to resound from the top of the Spear Pillar. In the blink of an eye, the shockwave from the explosion shattered the few remaining pillars on the Spear Pillar, stirring up a large amount of dust and mist within the ancient temple.

Red Sun didn't even glance at Magneto; his fanatical gaze remained fixed on Palucci, who was chained to him.

Soon, Palucci's eyes turned bloodshot, yet he began to move under the control of the red chains. At the same time, Akari's suppressed laughter rang out; through the smoke, one could see him holding a warm, radiant pearl in his hands.

"Although I haven't completely taken control yet, I can take my time and make my moves after dealing with you, the champion."

During the self-destruction, Cynthia, protected by Garchomp, witnessed this scene and gritted her teeth:

"Garuda, don't worry about me—"

"Never mind."

Ze Shu took out the Galaxy Bomb: "Let's use this."

From the moment he arrived at the shore of Lizhi Lake until now, a full three seconds have passed!

The fact that the Akonom hasn't shown any intelligence after being given so much time shows that the Akonom is indeed a type of projectile.

Immediately, amidst the incredulous look in Psyduck's eyes—one pink and one yellow—Ze Shu seemed to have mentally rehearsed countless times how to skillfully eject the mechanical fuse of the Galaxy Bomb and set the detonation time—ten seconds later—before hurling it fiercely into the center of Lake Lizhi!

The small, silvery-white Galaxy Bomb traced a graceful arc across the lake's surface.

Zeshu grabbed Psyduck and quickly retreated.

He moved with lightning speed. From taking out the Galaxy Bomb to setting the detonation, and then the bomb falling into the lake and sinking into the center of the lake, only five seconds had passed.

Emrido's incredulous voice finally rang out: "Ze Shu, you...you...you're going to blow up Lake Lizhi?!"

Ze Shu said matter-of-factly, "I've already given this Arknom three seconds to think... no,..."

Including the bomb's detonation, it lasted a full thirteen seconds!

"It hasn't come out yet, which shows that it is, as you said, a species."

"Three, three seconds—" Emredo's voice trembled. "Poor Arknom."

If Team Galaxy, who wanted to blow up Lake Heart, had been as decisive as Ze Shu, it wouldn't have dared to even think about it.

On the other side, although Yuxie didn't make a sound, she also completely agreed with Amritod.

It was incredibly grateful that its Wise Lake was not the last lake Ze Shu would reach.

Only Psyduck, with one yellow and one pink eye open, covered its head in confusion and quacked, "Quack?"

It had no idea what the two voices in its head were saying.

But ten seconds is a very short time; it passes in the blink of an eye.

boom!!

The sound of the explosion echoed in the center of Lizhi Lake.

The sudden collapse of the rock in the center of the lake sent fragments flying into the sky; the intense heat caused most of the lake water to evaporate in an instant; a violent surge of wind quickly arose and continued to rage outwards.

Psyduck's body swayed and struggled in the strong wind.

Finally, it fell backward, embedding its beak deeply into the ground to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

Zeshu could already see the pebbles and damp soil exposed at the bottom of the evaporated Lizhi Lake, as well as the blue phantom that appeared as the boulder in the center of the lake was lifted up.

That is Arknom.

Having just woken up, it was completely stunned to see its home destroyed: "?"

Upon seeing Azelf appear, Zeki said, "I'll have to leave things to you guys from now on, Emrido."

Yukshi.

Yuxie decisively shouted, "Emrido, let's attack together! Let's capture Azelf!"

"Should we attack Azelf?" Emridor hesitated for a moment, then gritted its teeth. "I'll do it, for Zeki!"

Suddenly, Psyduck's body emitted a bright yellow and pink glow, and with unexpected speed, it rushed towards the bewildered blue figure in the center of Lake Ambition.

Forced and irresistible, under the entanglement of yellow and pink light, Azelf's blue body was instantly pulled into Psyduck's body.

This makes Psyduck's body shrouded in pink, yellow, and blue.

Still holding its beak stuck in the ground, Psyduck, feeling as if another person had entered its body, hugged its head.

He let out a confused "ga" sound.

Then·-·

Three colors of ghostly images appeared on Psyduck's head.

A threatening voice rang out: "Akron, hand over your teeth!"

Emrido chimed in, "Yes, yes, that's right, little one, hurry up and give your teeth to Zeki!"

Arknom looked at its two threatening "companions" with a bewildered expression: "Huh?"

Weren't they laid from the same egg? Why are these two siding with outsiders?

And why does Emlid still call it "Little Seed"?

Arknom was confused and angry: "Don't push your luck!"

But then...

Ze Shu could see pink and yellow phantoms, and Pang Pang punched the blue phantom with both fists.

"To pay or not to pay!"

But Arknom continued to play: "Don't bully me—"

Emredo and Yuxie exchanged two more punches: "Hand over or not!"

"You don't—."

Two punches!

"you-.·.·

Two more punches!

"I'll hand it in, I'll pay—"

Two punches still!

"I've already given in, why are you still hitting me?!" Arknom looked aggrieved.

"?!" Emridor stopped his playful punches, his eyes darting around. "It was Xyz who did it first!"

Yukshi: "Don't slander me. I only threw the first two punches; the rest were all from you."

Emrido said brightly, "We're all doing this for Ze Shu!"

Ze Shu: "...

Then he's the one who got blamed.

As Arknom reluctantly activated the blue light surrounding him, a bright blue gem quickly appeared before Zeki—

[Arknom's Fang]

[The Legendary Pokémon of the Lake—Azelf, the God of Will, offers you his full and unwavering proof. It contains the power of will, and it is said that collecting all three items will grant you incredible power.]

What is it filled with?

This was the first time Ze Shu had ever seen such a speechless system description.

However, he has now gathered the materials for the three legendary mushrooms: [Yuxie's Claw] and [Emrido's Wing].

The Fang of Arknom can now create truly unreserved red chains.

"Ze Shu, Ze Shu, hurry up and bring our things up!" Amrito said proudly, "Let Amrito make them for you."

Yukshi: "Idiot. That's something we have to make together."

Emrido, hands on hips, said, "Of course I know! You don't need to tell me, Arknom! If you don't want to get beaten up, you'd better help me out!"

"I know, I know..." Arknom said, sounding aggrieved.

"Huh?"

Psyduck felt a buzzing in its head.

But then, looking at the three different colored items that Ze Shu had placed in front of it, it let out a gurgling sound, and for some reason, it wanted to open its mouth and eat them all.

But it was about to open its mouth wide.

But all that could be heard was a simultaneous shout from the three voices inside its head.

The three items in front of it began to melt, coalesce, and emit a terrifying red light, leaving Psyduck completely bewildered and dizzy.

And then it came to its senses while covering its head.

It was completely wrapped in what appeared to be red chains, as if it were a "clothes hanger" for these chains. Especially its head, which was wrapped in layers upon layers, leaving only a small hole, making it unable to move.

The chain was bright red, and each gem on it radiated a mysterious luster.

It is a red chain capable of subduing the two gods of time and space.

But Psyduck didn't understand what this was; it just felt its head was wrapped up very, very heavily.

"Huh?"

Mount Tianguan, the Pillar of Spears.

Zhu Lan and Palucci, who is being controlled by the Red Sun, have been fighting for three days.

Despite the impressive power of the Crimson Sun's red chains, which had even cracked considerably, and despite Palucci not being completely controlled by the Crimson Sun, the power it exuded, amplified by the white jade orb in the Crimson Sun's hand, was still terrifying.

She had to exert all her strength to hold on for these three days.

The main members of the League who have arrived to provide support in the past few days—the Elite Four: Da Ye, A Liu, and Kikuno, as well as the Gym Leaders from the cities surrounding Mt. Coronet: Caitani, A Li, Melissa, and Xiao Song—have all lost their Pokémon's ability to battle.

They could only lie helplessly to the side, watching as the champion of Bamboo Orchid continued her tenacious resistance.

Akari's face, worn down by three days of controlling Palucci, was terrifyingly exhausted: "Why—can't you all fall, so that my, my new world can be created—."

But even if she were to collapse now, the sun, already in such a depleted state, would be unable to create a 'new world,' leaving Palucci to destroy it in his madness.

Cynthia managed a weak smile, brushing the dust off her cheeks. The Garchomp in front of her roared defiantly, but even standing up was a struggle for it.

She couldn't hold on any longer either—

Under these circumstances, Palkia wielded "Void Slash," unleashing another spatial wave towards Garchomp.

Boom!

The Garchomp in front of her struggled to resist, but could not do much to protect her. It could only barely shield her before being thrown back by the "Void Slash" and rolling down to the entrance behind the Spear Pillar.

Under the violent impact and tumbling, Zhu Lan felt her whole body trembling, as if her internal organs were about to be displaced and disordered.

This caused her to involuntarily bend over and cough violently: "Cough—cough cough!"

Suddenly, she felt someone gently pat her back.

"Luckily, Champion Bamboo Orchid didn't die, otherwise I would feel guilty for the rest of my life."

This was the voice she had thought of countless times during her three-day battle with Palucci.

"Cough—cough, you've finally arrived—"

For some reason, Zhu Lan felt a sense of relief. She forced a smile, turned around, and finally saw the face she had expected.

And at his feet, there was a Psyduck bound like a mummy by red chains.

Psyduck: "Quack?"

It tilted its head, which was covered in tangles, with difficulty.
