Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 164 The Extreme Cold Within the Shallow Cave! (4k)

The screen had returned to normal, and the rookie trainer with the backpack was standing in his home in Littleroot Town, waiting for instructions.

But Giovanni's fingers remained on the keyboard and mouse, without making any move.

His mind was no longer on the game in front of him.

“Rainbow Rockets…” he repeated the name under his breath, his fingertips tapping the table unconsciously, making a dull sound.

The enormous fortress suspended in the air, the terrifying Pokémon that were being manipulated, the figure with his back to all living beings... every scene replayed repeatedly in his mind.

Especially that... special "Mewtwo".

Mewtwo, the biological weapon he had poured countless efforts and resources into, seemed to be just one of the more conspicuous weapons among countless powerful weapons in the hands of Team Rainbow Rocket.
Moreover, its form was stable and its power was immense, far exceeding his imagination!
This realization made him feel an indescribable irritation, but more than that, it ignited a flame of desire.

"Rule all legends... Conquer all worlds..."

He repeated the slogan that shone with rainbow light, and a slight smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

While this may sound arrogant and ridiculous, it becomes entirely different when paired with such convincing visuals.

He originally thought his ambitions were already enormous, but now it seems that his imagination is still being constrained by reality.

"Interesting," Sakaki muttered to himself, and finally moved.

He pressed the keys on the keyboard, ready to start the game.

However, the next moment, he was stunned.

It seems like I've never played a game in my entire life.

So... how do you move this character again?

At the same time, on the other side.

Du carefully maneuvered his character into the depths of the first level of the shallow cave.

The light inside the cave suddenly dimmed, creating a stark contrast with the bright sunshine of the beach outside.

A chilling aura swept over him, making even his character shiver.

Although it's just a game, the sense of oppression conveyed through the screen feels incredibly real.

The ground beneath the character's feet was covered with a thin layer of frost, which made a slight cracking sound when stepped on.

Countless tiny ice crystals were condensed on the surrounding rock walls, shimmering with a cold light under the illumination of the light source.

An unsettling silence filled the air, broken only by the persistent sound of wind whistling through the narrow space emanating from the depths of the cave; even the game's music had fallen silent.

Du frowned slightly; his intuition told him that something was clearly wrong here.

Sure enough, after taking only a few steps, a sudden change occurred!

Several snow peacocks and sea lions seemed to have been greatly frightened, their eyes glowing an abnormal red light, and they pounced directly on his character, launching a fierce attack!
What's going on? Du frowned. As the game entered the battle interface, he subconsciously clicked his tongue.

These Pokémon aren't very high level, but their aggression seems excessive, completely unlike the normal reaction of wild Pokémon—after all, they wouldn't react like this when encountering a normal Pokémon.

He quickly dispatched Gyarados, and easily ended the battle by virtue of its level advantage.

But looking at the Pokémon that had been defeated and were lying on the ground, unable to fight, his doubts deepened.

These Pokémon are behaving very abnormally, as if they have been strongly stimulated by something, or frightened by some great fear, which is why they have become so manic and aggressive.

He composed himself and continued exploring along the only path inside the cave.

Along the way, Lance encountered several waves of attacks from wild Pokémon, including the higher-level Ice Behemoth and several Froslass, but he managed to defeat them all thanks to the strength of Gyarados and the other Pokémon in his team. These wild Pokémon were all below level 40, so even though they were at a disadvantage in terms of type, they were not difficult to deal with.

But that feeling of unease lingered in his mind, growing stronger as he went deeper into the subject.

Finally, he reached the end of the path. Ahead lay a solid, cold rock wall; there was no way forward.

"Weird"

Watari maneuvered his character to spin around in place, carefully examining the surrounding walls and ground, and repeatedly pressing the interaction button, but found no hidden paths or mechanisms.

So where did the little girl's meow and the owner of the museum go?

Did we come to the wrong place?
Or is there some hidden passage nearby?

Just as he was feeling confused and even considering whether to temporarily leave the cave and look for a new entrance.

"Woo-hoo!!!"

A more intense and clearer wailing sound suddenly rang out from the depths of the cave! The sound was no longer the ethereal sound of the wind, but more like the heavy breathing of something enormous.

Immediately afterwards, the water level in the area that had been a small, shallow puddle in front of him began to rise rapidly and visibly! The icy water kept flowing out and quickly spread, washing away the frost on the ground.

Is the tide coming in? Du was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was going on.

No, this doesn't seem to be a natural tidal phenomenon!
The water spread extremely quickly, forming a wide expanse of water in the blink of an eye. This area of ​​water led directly to the rock wall on the side—which originally appeared to be solid, but now, with the rise in water level, it revealed a hole that was originally completely hidden underwater!

That's it!

Du came to his senses.

It seems that water-based skills are needed, or perhaps we may need to wait for a certain opportunity or trigger certain conditions before the path forward appears!

Without any hesitation, Lance immediately had Gyarados use Surf. His character rode on Gyarados's broad back and sailed along the newly appeared waterway toward the mysterious cave entrance that had just materialized.

After passing through a short waterway, Gyarados carried him into another, completely different area of ​​the cave.

The moment he entered, before he could even see his surroundings clearly, Du was immediately overwhelmed by a sudden, intensifying chill that seemed to freeze his very soul. He, too, felt the cold on the screen and instinctively shrank back. And when his character seemed to adjust to the light in this space, and the scene before him became clearer, he was utterly stunned by what he saw, his fingers instinctively hovering over the keyboard!

—The space here is much larger and more open than outside, as if the entire mountain belly has been hollowed out by some force, forming a huge ice cave.

The surrounding temperature looked frighteningly low, and the characters' breath in the game turned into thick white mist.

The most striking feature is the enormous, unimaginably large iceberg in the center of the cave, made entirely of ice, crystal clear and radiating a blue glow!
And right at the heart of that iceberg, a massive, majestic, and ferocious figure was completely frozen inside!

It was a Dragon and Ice type Pokémon that he had never seen before, nor had he ever read about in any known documents or Pokédex!
It has a strong, gray-blue body that looks like it's covered in ice armor, with a complex structure and an exaggerated sense of power.

Its enormous, wing-like or claw-like limbs, as well as its thick, powerful tail, were firmly frozen in the thick layer of ice, unable to move an inch.

The Pokémon's head was lowered, and one of its bright red eyes, as fiery as lava, was tightly closed.

Even in its sealed slumber, its entire existence exudes a terrifying pressure that chills the heart, as if once it awakens, it will bring a devastating winter, dragging the entire world into a frozen hell.

The icy chill seemed to emanate from the screen, and Du could even feel his heart racing and his palms slightly sweaty. He instinctively held his breath.

What kind of Pokémon is this?

Another unknown, never-before-recorded legendary Pokémon?

Why were they sealed away in such a place?

Moreover, for some reason, even though it was through a screen and the Pokémon was radiating such a dangerous and ominous aura, Wataru felt a strange attraction and excitement from the depths of his heart.

What's going on here?
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Du instantly realized what was happening.

Oh, right, this guy looks like a dragon!
As a Dragon-type specialist trainer, Lance seemed to be able to clearly sense the incredibly violent dragon power contained within this Pokémon. That power was strong, wild, and full of primal destructive desires, yet it also faintly revealed a trace of suppressed anger.

Almost subconsciously, he controlled his character, wanting to get closer, to see more clearly, and to clearly feel that dragon aura that was similar yet completely different from what he knew.

However, just as his character was about to take a step forward, the game screen suddenly jolted, and then an unusually conspicuous prompt popped up, with a snowflake pattern of ice cracks in the background.

This place is surrounded by an extremely cold air barrier that contains special energy; an invisible and powerful force repels outsiders from approaching!

The character of Du was bounced back by an invisible barrier, unable to get even a fraction closer to the iceberg, let alone take a single step forward.

"No way..."

It seems that this guy, like that Regirock, is protected by a powerful barrier or energy field, and certain conditions must be met to get close to him or to awaken him.

Du sighed, his heart instantly filled with regret.

The design of this game is so intriguing that it always leaves you wanting more; it's hard to say that this wasn't intentional on the part of the creators.

Who exactly is this Pokémon? What is its story and power? Why is it here? Who has the ability to seal it here?
Is the unusually low temperature and various strange phenomena in this cave related to it?

Countless questions flooded his mind instantly, like a tangled mess.

But he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He knew this wasn't the time to delve into these matters. His primary objective for this trip was not yet complete—to find the missing Meowth and the Gym Leader.

This sealed legendary Pokémon is clearly an amazing discovery, but it shouldn't be the core of the current storyline.

He took one last deep look at the dragon, which was encased in ice and exuded an ominous and powerful aura, and memorized its image. Then, he turned his character and walked towards another, relatively narrow path in the cave, continuing to explore deeper into the cave.

The deeper you go into this new path, the thicker the ice crystals become, and the lower the temperature drops, almost to the point where the character's breath turns to ice.

The rock face is completely covered by a thick layer of ice, forming all sorts of strangely shaped icicles and pillars.

But as he walked, Du gradually frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

Something is very wrong.

He had previously thought that the oppressive and extremely unsettling atmosphere that permeated the entire cave was mainly caused by the legendary Pokémon that had just been frozen in ice.

Its oppressive aura is indeed omnipresent.

But as he moved further away from the frozen behemoth and ventured deeper in another direction, why did that heart-pounding feeling not only fail to lessen, but instead become clearer and stronger?
These are two completely different feelings. The aura of the ice dragon just now was powerful and majestic, carrying the unique arrogance and oppressive feeling of the dragon race, as well as a kind of silent anger.

The aura that is gradually increasing now is more primal and pure, filled with a sense of malice that wants to freeze everything!
In other words, there may be more than one source of anomalies in this cave?
Perhaps the sealed Pokémon itself was also affected by this deeper power?
Or was it used to suppress something?

This thought made my heart sink suddenly.

Just as alarm bells were ringing in his mind and he was thinking rapidly, he heard extremely intense fighting sounds, the explosions of Pokémon moves colliding, and anxious shouts from around the corner of the cave ahead!
Du immediately snapped out of his reverie and sprinted forward, controlling his character to quicken his pace.

After turning past a huge icicle, the sight before him made his heart tighten.

The two twin owners of Green Ridge City stood back to back, looking extremely tense. Tiny beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, a testament to the intensity of the battle in this temperature.

They are commanding their Sunrock and Moonstone to desperately defend against a massive onslaught from a large group of Ice-type Pokémon!

A large number of geometric snowflakes spun at high speed and shot out dense ice shards, like a blizzard. The tundra bear let out a deafening roar and waved its giant paws covered in ice. Even the snow fairy, who was usually known for her eeriness, showed a fierce look and rushed forward, constantly creating illusions and launching attacks.

The two gym leaders' Pokémon had clearly been battling for some time; both Solrock and Luna Stone were injured, and the light emanating from them was dim.

Although they are powerful and their psychic abilities are very effective, they still have some difficulty under the crazy attack of such a large number of seemingly fearless Pokémon. They can only barely maintain a protective circle and have fallen into a passive defense.

Just then, a particularly large tundra bear silently circled around from the side and rear, its eyes flashing with a ferocious red light, using the surrounding skill light as cover.

Its bear paw, imbued with terrifying coldness, was raised high, about to strike down on Moonstone, who was fully engaged in a frontal attack and completely unprepared, and Nan behind him!

At the critical moment!
"Watch out!" Wataru instinctively pressed the interaction button and shouted, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he rushed forward!

His character instantly joined the battle, and Gyarados's massive body, like a tank, stood between Ursaring and Luna Stone, taking the brunt of the Ice Punch with its own body!

Ice shards flew everywhere!
The screen went black, and the battle interface instantly opened!
