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

Chapter 286 Confirmation of Possibility, A World Reversed?!

The shadowy figure that looked exactly like Giratina gave them no time to react, and pounced over in a flash.

Its speed was astonishing; it arrived in the blink of an eye, bringing with it a stench.

Ling Feng only felt a blur before his eyes, and before he could see the other party's movements clearly, the black shadow had already swung its huge claws down hard.

The attack was powerful and heavy, and the red light shield around Marshall trembled violently, making a cracking sound as it struggled to withstand the pressure.

"not good!"

Will turned pale with fright and instinctively took a half step back.

This is not an attack that a Pokémon could launch!

Looking back on his entire career as a trainer, he had never seen anything like it.

Marshado had already used all its strength; it knew it absolutely couldn't back down now. If it retreated, the light barrier would shatter instantly, and all three of them would perish here.

It roared, and the green light on its body suddenly surged, and the red flame that was about to go out burned again, even more fiercely than before!
Within the flames, a phantom with rainbow radiance slowly emerged.

The phantom had magnificent wings and a noble and majestic demeanor; it was none other than the legendary Phoenix King.

Although it was just a phantom, the aura of a divine beast was undiminished. As the phantom appeared, the surrounding raging black mist seemed to have encountered its nemesis, and it all retreated in all directions.

Roar!
A clear cry echoed throughout the space. The phantom of the Phoenix King flapped its wings and charged directly at the dark figure.

boom!
The two forces collided violently, unleashing a blinding light.

Immediately afterwards, a shrill scream rang out. The seemingly terrifying black shadow instantly disintegrated under the attack of the Phoenix King's phantom, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating into the air.

Won?

Will was stunned for a moment, a hint of joy rising in his heart, but before long, the huge coffin suddenly shook violently!
boom!
This sound was even louder than before, as if some sleeping behemoth had been completely enraged.

Immediately afterwards, a black energy ten times more terrifying than before surged out of the coffin.

This energy rapidly condensed in the air, instantly transforming into an even larger black phantom. This phantom was more solid than the previous one, its aura more violent, and its blood-red eyes filled with a destructive desire.

Marshall's expression changed instantly.

No, this is impossible to fight!
That last attack might have been a probing strike, but this one is the real killing blow.

The power in the shadows opposite was too strong, so strong that it couldn't even muster the thought of resistance.

run!
We have to run right now!
Without any hesitation, Marshall poured all his energy into the shield without holding back a single bit of power. Then, he grabbed Ling Feng and Will, turned around, and ran wildly back the way he came.

The enormous black phantom roared and then gave chase. Instead of attacking directly, it opened its massive maw and spewed out waves of black energy.

boom! boom! boom!
The light shield around Marshall flickered wildly under these attacks, like a candle flame in a storm, threatening to go out at any moment. Each impact sent a wave of intense dizziness through Ling Feng.

Will fared even worse; he was being carried by Marcia and bounced up and down at high speed, his face as white as paper.

He had never been so humiliated in his life. A champion-level expert was now being carried away like a sack. If word got out, how could he ever face anyone in the spirit world again?

But at this moment, he couldn't care less about saving face; preserving his life was the priority.
Just as they were desperately trying to escape, strange noises suddenly came from the ground around them.

Ling Feng endured the discomfort and barely managed to lift his head to take a look. What he saw immediately startled him.

Suddenly, huge cracks appeared on the originally hard ground around them.

Immediately afterwards, countless dark figures emerged from these cracks.

Those were all sorts of Ghost-type Pokémon!
And the number of them was frighteningly large, densely packed.

There are Gengar, Cursed Doll, Palico, and even a few Gengar and Dusknoir that look terrifying.

Their eyes also gleamed with an eerie red light, and their bodies were shrouded in a thin layer of black shadow.

That violent aura was even more intense than the black phantom chasing behind.

—They're all Champion-level Pokémon!

Ling Feng quickly calculated in his mind.

It turns out that the Ghost-type Pokémon that disappeared before didn't really disappear, but all hid underground!

That number is outrageous, and each one is quite powerful.

Normally, even if Will were here, he would probably have a hard time escaping if surrounded by such a large group of Ghost-type Pokémon.

But now these guys are clearly controlled by something; they're just a bunch of mindless killing machines.

As soon as they emerged, they pounced on Marshall like madmen, trying to block their path.

Although Marshall is fast now, if he gets entangled by so many guys, he definitely won't be able to escape.

Move aside!

Marshall roared, and the light shield around his body suddenly expanded outward, crashing into the group of Ghost-type Pokémon with an unparalleled momentum.

Bang bang bang!
Those weaker champions were sent flying the moment they touched the light barrier, instantly turning into puffs of white smoke and disappearing. Even the stronger ones were knocked off their feet by the immense impact, unable to stop Marshall's path at all.

Will realized what was happening at that moment. Although he was in pain, he didn't stop working.

He quickly pulled a Poké Ball from his waist and released Gengar.

With Gengar providing cover, Marshadow's pressure was greatly reduced. It carried Lingfeng and Will at breakneck speed, quickly breaking out of the encirclement of Ghost-type Pokémon.

The huge black phantom behind them was still in hot pursuit, but strangely, it suddenly stopped when it reached a certain point.

Those Ghost-type Pokémon that were attacking frantically all stopped in their tracks, as if they had encountered an invisible wall, and did not move forward another step.

Marshall led the two of them for a long distance until he was sure that nothing was chasing them, and then he slowly stopped.

It put Lingfeng and Will down, exhausted itself, panting heavily. Its green light had dimmed considerably, and it looked quite weak.

Will collapsed to the ground, gasping for fresh air, feeling as if he had just returned from the brink of death.

It took him a long while to recover. He raised his head in a daze, looking at the area behind him that was still shrouded in black mist, his face full of shock.

If they had been any later, they probably would have become part of those monsters.

Will swallowed hard, and muttered to himself in a hoarse voice:
"So, it seems they can't get out?"

The black phantom was right behind us, but suddenly stopped as if it had bumped into something. The same thing happened to the crazed Ghost-type Pokémon. This indicates that there's some kind of restriction on that area; those things can't leave.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Will had absolutely no idea what to expect.

Ling Feng had recovered a bit by this time. Unlike Will, he didn't collapse to the ground, but stood aside, looking in that direction with some curiosity.

He was rapidly processing everything he had just seen in his mind.

So much happened in that instant, a huge amount of information, but he had to sort it all out.

First of all, the existence in that coffin, although it looks exactly like Giratina, is still unclear.

Secondly, those Ghost-type Pokémon deep inside didn't disappear; they were all hidden underground.

Judging from what just happened, they should also have been controlled by the Soul-Devouring Mist.

Third, there must be some necessary connection between the coffin, the mist, and the black phantom.

The mist flowed back into the coffin, and then the thing inside went berserk. This shows that the mist can control or influence that thing.

There are two problems we are facing now.

First, is the one locked in that coffin actually Giratina?
Secondly, what is the source of all this? Did the fog cause the current situation, or did the fog originate from the coffin and then control those Ghost-type Pokémon?

Ling Feng frowned and thought for a few seconds.

These two questions are crucial, as they directly relate to what they should do next.

If it really is Giratina, then things are in big trouble.

But if it's not Giratina, then what is it?
To possess this level of power and control so many powerful Ghost-type Pokémon.
Just as he was pondering this, a streak of light suddenly flashed through his mind.

The second question has no answer yet, but he seems to already know the answer to the first question.

Ling Feng already had a general idea in mind, but he still needed to confirm it.

He took a deep breath, preparing to start a conversation with Marcia.

After all, Marshall is quite familiar with this place, so perhaps he can get some confirmation from him.

But the next moment, something unexpected happened!

Just as Ling Feng opened his mouth, before he could even utter a sound, the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked open without warning!

A tremendous suction force emanated from the crack, and then a huge, jet-black claw suddenly rose up from below!
The claw was terrifyingly large, covered in sharp barbs that gleamed with a chilling light. It gave Ling Feng no chance to react, piercing through the protective shield that Marshadow had just repaired as easily as piercing through a thin sheet of paper.

Then, the claw grabbed Ling Feng.

fast!
too fast!
Neither Marcia nor Will had any time to react.

By the time they realized what had happened, Ling Feng was already firmly gripped in the palm of that enormous claw.

"Ling Feng!"

Will was horrified and instinctively wanted to rush over to save the person.

Marshadow reacted even faster, immediately unleashing a black energy wave that shot straight towards the giant claw. At the same time, Will's Gengar also fired several Shadow Balls, attempting to break the claw.

But the claw remained motionless. No matter how Marshall and Will attacked it, it didn't even flinch, nor did it leave a single mark.

The next instant, the claw grabbed Ling Feng and yanked him violently to the ground.

Ling Feng felt an irresistible force coming at him, and he instantly lost his balance.

Before he could even utter a cry of alarm, everything went black, and he was forcibly dragged deep into the ground.

boom!
The ground closed up again, as if nothing had happened.

Ling Feng simply vanished.

Marcia was stunned. She stared blankly at the spot where Ling Feng had disappeared, her expression instantly becoming incredibly complex.

First came surprise, then bewilderment, and finally, deep terror.

Its face turned green.

This is the person it promised to protect! And this is the person who promised to help Lord Phoenix restore his faith, and yet he was kidnapped right under its nose?

This is outrageous!
What exactly was that claw? Why didn't its protective shield offer any defense?
Moreover, the power of those claws was terrifying; its all-out attack had absolutely no effect.
Will was also completely bewildered. He stood to the side, his mouth agape, utterly confused about what had just happened.

What kind of monstrous thing is lurking in the core of this spirit world? First, there was that terrifying coffin, then that enormous black phantom, and now a strange hand has appeared, grabbing people. Is this place even safe to stay in?

He and Marshall exchanged a glance, and for a moment they were both speechless.

……

Meanwhile, from Ling Feng's perspective.

I just felt a huge pulling force, and then everything went black. My body felt like it had been thrown into a washing machine, and the world spun around me.

The feeling of weightlessness and dizziness almost made him vomit.

I don't know how much time passed—maybe a moment, maybe a long time. The intense jolt finally subsided.

Ling Feng slowly opened his eyes, regaining his vision.

When he saw the scene before him, he was completely stunned.

This is not deep underground, nor is it a dark cave.

This is a world that completely defies the common sense of physics.

The sky was distorted, displaying an eerie purplish-red hue. The clouds didn't float like water vapor, but rather resembled shards of broken glass, suspended in mid-air, occasionally colliding with each other to produce a crisp sound.

There was no earth around, only countless floating geometric shapes. There were square boulders, triangular spires, and spiral pillars.

They floated aimlessly in the void, and most importantly, they were all upside down!
Moreover, Ling Feng's first reaction to the scene before him was only four words.

—Reverse the world!
It feels like I've entered a reversed world!
