Chapter 46
"WC! Stare at the Frame!"
A surge of crimson, violent energy appeared out of nowhere, enveloping Gyarados's massive body.
It suddenly coiled its body, and its ferocious dragon tail, covered in destructive power, lashed out instantly.
A piercing metallic creak resounded as the sturdy metal cage shattered, tearing open a huge gap!
The trapped Pipis reacted quickly, immediately screeching as they swarmed out of the hole.
Gyarados's rage is far from over!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deafening explosions rang out one after another, and the entire cave shook violently in the terrifying shockwave, with smoke and dust filling the air, and the scene was completely out of control!
The Rocket Team members, who were busy with their work, were stunned by this sudden turn of events. They stopped what they were doing and tried to gather around the berserk beast to control it.
But they were helpless against a colossal creature that was completely in chaos and whose tail was sweeping wildly!
Some fled, some scattered.
To make matters worse, the Pokémon enslaved by the metal control rings discovered that the force binding them had disappeared.
Without hesitation, they took advantage of the chaos and angrily joined the counterattack!
In a corner of the cave, Xiaobai and Xiaoqishu were not idle either. They took out various medicines from their backpacks and began to treat the Pokémon that had fallen into a coma.
Gastly, Pikachu, and their companions stood guard vigilantly around the area, driving away any stray Team Rocket members that tried to approach.
As time ticked by, the noise coming from the cave entrance grew louder and louder, as more and more Team Rocket members poured in.
Taking advantage of their numbers, they even showed signs of turning the chaotic situation around.
After tending to the injured Pokémon, Bai Zhou spoke:
"That's about it...it's time to come."
"Huh? We have reinforcements?!"
Qi Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked in surprise.
Before the words were even finished, a deafening roar, far more terrifying than the destruction caused by Gyarados, suddenly exploded.
The entire mountain shook violently, and the solid rock layer at the top of the cave was instantly pierced through by an indescribable force, as if it were made of paper.
The blinding sunlight poured down!
Looking against the bright light, a fire-breathing dragon, spewing scorching sparks, hovered in the air, and on its broad back stood a figure with arms crossed and a tall, upright posture!
"Support! It's the Alliance's support!"
Qi Shu exclaimed in surprise.
call out!call out!call out!
Following closely behind, a large number of well-equipped international police officers and alliance special agents, dressed in dark blue police uniforms, rode their respective Flying-type or climbing-type Pokémon and quickly landed through the huge hole.
They were well-trained and split into two teams. One team immediately began to receive and comfort the injured and weak Pokémon.
The other team, under the cover of their Pokémon partners, launched a fierce attack on the stubbornly resisting Team Rocket members!
"Look, Salted Fish Sauce! It's him again! The handsome researcher!"
Qishu recognized the familiar figure at a glance and exclaimed in surprise.
"Didn't he provide his contact information?"
Bai Zhou calmly explained:
"I sent him a message long before I infiltrated here, asking him to notify the Alliance for support."
At this moment, the handsome researcher had already landed steadily on his Charizard and strode over to Little White and Little Wonder Tree.
"Handsome Researcher: I'm not too late, am I? Thanks to you guys for discovering the Rockets' plan in advance, the league was able to intervene in time and carry out this full-scale arrest operation!"
The handsome researcher paused, noticing the Pokémon around him who were still weak despite receiving treatment, and then gently patted the Charizard next to him on the shoulder.
The fire-breathing dragon nodded in understanding, flapped its wings, and flew lightly into the air in the center of the mine, its body beginning to shimmer with a dreamlike, soft glow.
Drizzling...
Inside the cave, a fine, warm drizzle, as delicate as down, began to fall without warning!
These strange raindrops, carrying a warm, life-giving energy, gently fell upon each injured Pokémon, quickly merging into their bodies.
In just a few breaths, the wounds on those Pokémon healed and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Even their mental fatigue and lethargy vanished, and they stood up with renewed vigor, their eyes brimming with renewed energy.
After completing this miraculous treatment, Charizard did not return to the handsome researcher's side.
It flapped its wings again and flew toward the broken hole in the cave ceiling.
As it flew higher and higher, its shape began to undergo wondrous changes during flight.
Its enormous body gradually shrank, its outline became blurred, and finally disappeared completely in a soft pink light!
At the very moment it disappeared, a clear, ethereal cry, seemingly capable of piercing the soul, resonated distinctly in every corner of the mine.
"Mew~"
Before Qishu could recover from this dreamlike scene, the live stream chat exploded with comments.
"Support! I knew it! How could we forget the handsome researcher at such a crucial moment!"
"Holy crap! It's open! How come Charizard can use Water-type moves? And such a huge area-of-effect healing move at that?"
"Case solved, everyone! Do you remember when Teacher Xianyu first encountered the handsome researcher during his livestream? He clearly didn't have any Pokémon, yet he used a Guardian move! The second time he appeared, he had this Charizard with him! This logic just doesn't make sense!"
"That wasn't Charizard at all! Charizard could never learn Life Drop! Let alone cover the entire cave! Look at how it disappeared at the end, its body shrank, and it glowed pink! It was Mew! It was definitely Mew!!"
"Wow! Stare at the frame!"
"Mew is right beside me? Could it be that Mew has already formed a bond with the handsome researcher? My Mew! No—"
The scene continues; the handsome researcher's conversation is not yet over.
"Handsome Researcher: Oh, by the way, as a reward for providing the information, these two fossils are yours. I hope they will be helpful to you."
"Little White and Little Wonder Tree obtained tortoise shells and seashell fossils from the handsome researcher!"
"Xiaobai and Xiaoqishu put the tortoise shell and seashell fossils into their important item pockets."
"Handsome Researcher: I heard there's a Pokémon lab on Cinnabar Island doing research on reviving fossil Pokémon... Ah, I have to go lend a hand. Goodbye!"
After saying that, he turned around decisively and his figure quickly disappeared into the busy alliance team.
Qi Shu was still immersed in the awe brought by the dream until Bai Zhou's voice pulled her back to reality.
"These two fossils belong to the ancient Pokémon Kabuto and Omanyte. Once we reach Cinnabar Island, we can use the laboratory's technology to revive them..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gastly's voice came from the other end of the communication channel.
"Gasp~"
"Hungry? Just a moment, it'll be over soon..."
A moment later, Bai Zhou's voice returned to normal.
"Kiki-chan! That's all for today. The hidden storyline at Mt. Tsukimi has come to a successful conclusion. Next up is challenging the gym in Cerulean City. I'll be logging off now, bye..."
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Qi Shu seemed to awaken from a dream and hurriedly called out to Bai Zhou, who was about to log off.
"What's wrong?"
The white boat stopped moving.
Qi Shu took a deep breath, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement and nervousness.
"That Charizard just now... was it... Mew?"
On the other end of the communication, Bai Zhou seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then a clear and affirmative chuckle came through.
"Yes, that's right."
next second.
Under Qi Shu's blank gaze, amidst the boiling barrage of comments in the live stream.
A game save notification popped up, the room connection was lost, and the screen suddenly went black.
Bai Zhou has been logged out.
