Pokémon Devil King

Chapter 346 Absol

The spacecraft passed smoothly through the clouds, and the lush green mountains and winding river valleys below gradually became clear.

After more than two hours of sailing, we arrived at our destination.

Jiuji didn't rush to leave, but instead set his eyes on Heracross in the corner.

"Heracross, do you want to go and take a look together?" Jiuji invited.

A hint of intention flashed in Heracross's eyes, but it was quickly covered by deep hesitation.

It subconsciously glanced at its forelimbs. If it was really lucky, why would it always be injured?

No one wants to admit that they are the source of trouble, but because of this, they are even more afraid of messing things up again.

"Dana."

A soft vine whip gently rested on Heracross's shell. It was Flowey.

The power coming from the whip is steady and reassuring.

"Hera!" The little drunkard also called out to it, but he was very restrained and didn't get too close.

Heracross looked into Jiuji's calm eyes, then glanced at his companions who were giving him encouraging glances.

It hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Then try again.

just one time.

"Ao Ao?" A lazy question came from the rest area not far away.

The white sea lion has found the most comfortable position, curling up its round body into a ball with only its head exposed, its eyes full of words saying I'm not going, I want to sleep.

With Sister Dai around, it doesn't need to work at all. It might as well just sleep on the spaceship.

Jiuji just laughed at this and didn't force it.

"Luna, come too." She called out. This mission involved Absol, who might be misunderstood. With Luna around, communication would be smoother.

The meditating blue figure looked up, retracted the waveguide on his body, stood up and followed Jiuji.

The moment the group stepped into the valley, there was a very slight but clear tremor from the ground beneath their feet.

The forest path was covered with thick fallen leaves, which made a rustling sound when stepped on.

The air is moist, and light shines through the layers of treetops, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

Heracross walked in the middle of the team, always paying attention to his feet, avoiding every unstable-looking stone and circling every lying tree root.

That nervous look made Jiuji, who was following behind, want to laugh.

The team marched for about ten minutes.

The road ahead is blocked.

Several fallen trees blocked the way. The broken parts were still fresh, and the surrounding soil showed signs of being dug up by sharp claws.

Could it be? Jiuji had some guesses.

Sure enough, when Jiuji and the others were preparing to move the trees away and continue on their journey.

A snow-white shadow emerged from the dense forest ahead like a ghost.

It made no sound, but just stood there quietly. Its sickle-shaped horn reflected an icy light in the mottled light of the forest, and its pair of scarlet eyes locked onto them.

It's Absol!

Before anyone could speak, a shadow blade that had solidified into substance had already torn through the air and slashed the ground in front of everyone by a hair's breadth, leaving a deep scar!

"Luna." Jiuji's voice remained calm.

Now she has practiced it and can face attacks without changing her expression.

Um, okay, actually it’s because Huahua and Daidai gave me too much sense of security.

Luna understood, and a circle of light blue wave power gently spread out with it as the center.

The vigilance in Absol's eyes lessened slightly. It felt that there was no malice in this power, but it still did not let down its guard.

[Leave here.] A clear thought passed through the waveguide, directly transmitted to the minds of Jiuji and all the Pokémon, [Soon, a landslide will occur here.]

"I know." Jiuji met that warning gaze and took a step forward. "That's why we're here."

Absol's aggressive stance paused slightly.

The scarlet in its eyes flickered, as if it was trying to determine the authenticity of these uninvited guests.

Jiuji looked calm, "Can you tell us where the source of the landslide is?"

Since Absol has this special ability, it doesn't make sense for her to search for it on her own.

"This way, we can solve the problem faster. You won't have to work so hard to drive away the next group of humans who hear the news, right?"

After the silence, the violence in Absol's eyes subsided slightly.

It looked deeply at Jiuji, then glanced at the huge Bulbasaur behind her.

[Yes, the source is behind the waterfall in the upper reaches of the valley. There is a huge overhanging rock there, which is the most fragile support point of the entire mountain.]

"Thank you!" Jiuji invited after thinking for a moment, "Why don't you come with us? That way we might be able to find the location faster."

[...Okay, let's go there now.] Absol nodded hesitantly.

"Sorry, I still have to hand over to other people. Can you wait a moment?" Jiuji called out to this action-oriented Pokémon in time.

In just half a second, the opponent had already run more than ten meters.

[Okay, I'll follow you.] Before he finished speaking, the white figure completely disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

The vigilance is quite high, Jiuji sighed.

"Let's go and meet the contact." She turned around and continued to move towards the agreed location with her companions.

After walking for about half an hour, a makeshift tent appeared in a clearing in the woods.

Outside the tent, a researcher wearing glasses and looking a little nervous was pacing back and forth anxiously, muttering to himself.

Seeing Jiuji and his group, he was stunned at first, then he pushed up his glasses and walked over to them quickly: "Are you the trainer who accepted the mission? That's great! I thought no one could come here. There are people who have been accepting it, but they all give up!"

There was no expression on Jiuji's face. He just glanced thoughtfully at the deep and dense forest behind the team.

I feel like this is Absol's doing.

The researcher's eyes swept over the huge Huahua and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The situation is dire! Look at this data!" He pointed at a red curve on the instrument screen that was almost breaking through the top. "The energy readings inside the mountain are still soaring! Our preliminary exploration shows that if the key rock mass upstream collapses, the chain reaction it triggers will be enough to turn the hunting grounds downstream into a vast ocean!"

"So, what do you need me to do, stop the rockfall or reinforce the riverbank?" Jiuji asked.

"It's all right. As long as we can deactivate the instrument alarm, the mission is accomplished!" The researcher nodded rapidly.

He pointed to a red dot on the map and said, "The most dangerous place is right there! Please help!"

After explaining everything, the researcher went to tidy up the tent without looking back.

God knows how worried he is about when a landslide will occur, but it won’t work if no one is here.

Now, he can finally retreat to a safe area.

Absolu
