Pokémon Scenario: Intercepting Gible at the Start

"You're the host, you go first, we'll follow!"

Seeing Shang Qiu's caution, Bangiras chuckled. This human is indeed cautious.

There were indeed mechanisms on the walls on both sides of the staircase; once someone walked over, countless arrows composed of ground-based energy would be shot out.

However, its owner had no intention of killing Shang Qiu, so he had already turned off these mechanisms long ago.

The reason Shang Qiu was allowed to leave first was simply because, in the past, when entertaining guests, we had developed the habit of treating guests the same way, so it didn't matter who left first.

"Roar!"

I'll be going now, just follow me later.

Bangiras growled and went into the stairwell first.

But the moment he stepped onto the stairs, Bangiras's expression changed drastically.

Why does it sound like gears turning on both sides? Is he hearing things?

That shouldn't be the case. He saw the owner turn off all these mechanisms before he came down.

But there's no turning back now. We can't exactly tell Shang Qiu that we called you in to harm you, and now that you're not falling for it, we need to shut down the mechanism, can we?

Besides, since the master has asked him to come up with Shang Qiu and the others, he certainly won't open the mechanism again.

How could his owner bear to see his beloved little Benban being ravaged by the machinery?

Yes, the owner would never do such a thing!

Moreover, his master accepted this task partly to repay a favor, and partly because King You knew the whereabouts of Great-Grandfather Banqilas.

If it weren't for me, my master wouldn't have accepted such a suicidal mission!

Trusting his master, Bangiras gritted his teeth and went forward anyway.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Bangilas took each step very carefully, afraid that his master might suddenly decide to use him as bait.

It wasn't until he reached the fifth step that Bangilas finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The construction of this mechanism mainly relied on his and his partners' energy; it can be said that he participated in the entire construction process.

Because he was rather lazy at the time, he only implemented the mechanism triggering method in the first five steps.

Once these 5 steps are taken, the mechanism will stop moving.

But before he could finish venting his anger, he heard a faint cracking sound coming from the wall.

Almost instinctively, Bangilas turned and ran.

But then I thought, what if I run away and Shang Qiu runs away too?

If Shang Qiu runs away, what will happen to his master's mission?

If the master's mission fails, the clues to finding his great-grandfather will be cut off.

Don't run, you have to take the hit!

Thinking of this, Bangilas stopped in his tracks and remained motionless.

Shang Qiu and his Pokémon noticed the anomaly on the wall almost simultaneously, but seeing that the attacks were all directed at Tyranitar, they didn't say anything.

After all, it's their own territory, so they can do whatever they want with it, right?

In the blink of an eye, a large number of rock spikes surged from the wall, their speed comparable to that of a machine gun, and their power was no less than that of Garchomp's Draco Meteor Shower.

In other words, this wall contains an entire Dragon Star Cluster, and it's the kind that's precisely guided by Piplup!

The sharp rock spikes, wrapped in sandstorm, slammed into Bangiras, instantly engulfing him.

And that wasn't the end of it. After the rock spikes, the rocks above the stairs crashed down with tremendous force, startling the tallest Gardevoir and Garchomp, who quickly pulled Shangqiu back.

But Bangiras did not back down at all; instead, he stretched out his hands to catch the rock above him.

He didn't forget to turn to Garchomp and give it a friendly smile, "Brother, please tell your master not to be afraid. I need to exercise every time I go up the stairs."

"You know our Bangiras clan, we love to exercise. Don't believe me? Look at my muscles!"

As he spoke, Bangilas lifted the boulder with one hand and showed off his biceps with his left.

Garchomp tilted its head, looking utterly shocked.

"Brother, it's fine for you to exercise; after all, this is your home."

"But that rock is stuck in your forehead, are you sure you're okay?"

Bangilas still wore the same fake-smiling expression as he used his free left hand to pull the stone out of his forehead.

Fresh blood flowed from the small hole in his forehead, quickly staining Bangiras' face red.

Bangalore's face was now extremely grotesque, his already terrifying face now covered in blood.

It's no exaggeration to say that even if the dimensional barrier were connected, Sadako would be so scared by Tyranitar that she would lose control of her bladder and bowels if she crawled out of the projector in front of Crocodile!

However, Tyranitar, who was wholeheartedly devoted to his master, even tried his best to put on what he thought was the most amiable appearance, calmly comforting Garchomp.

"It's okay, this helps to clear out the water from my brain, I do this all the time!"

Chapter 517 The Long Journey to Find Grandpa

With the powerful defenses of Tyranitar, Shangqiu and his companions finally succeeded in passing the first challenge.

At this moment, Tyranitar was covered in dirt, mixed with blood and turned into red mud, and his body was covered with sharp stones.

Seeing how kind this elf was, Shang Qiu felt a pang of guilt.

"Hey, why don't you come and rest in my Poké Ball for a while?"

"I put a lot of healing potions in my Poké Ball. As long as you go in, you'll recover from your injuries very quickly."

Bangilas: "???"

You're making no attempt to hide your intentions, are you?

Indeed, one is influenced by one's company!

"Roar!"

Shark brothers, tell your owner not to worry about me, I can still do it!

After saying that, Bangiras walked towards the room on the second floor without looking back.

Fortunately, this is the food area, and there are many foods that can help heal injuries.

Looking at Bangiras healing his wounds alone, Shang Qiu sighed inwardly.

He genuinely likes Tyranitar, a Pokémon that's both strong and goofy. Even if he can't win it over this time, he'll definitely get one to play with Sharpedo in the future.

After their injuries had been mostly healed, Bangiras led Shang Qiu and the others back to the stairwell on the second floor.

The owner probably forgot to turn off the first layer when they turned it off. The second layer should be fine!

With that thought in mind, Bangiras once again took the lead and went to the front.

The moment he stepped on it, Bangiras' entire body turned purple, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

"Damn! How did the poison thorns from the third floor end up on the second floor?!"

This poison dart was acquired by its owner at a high price from a national auction; it was made by Jia Hongtao, the world's number one drug kingpin.

To my utter surprise, he squandered all the money he spent on these things...

"Roar!"

Garchomp brothers, I got the way wrong. You should lead your owner up the odd-numbered stairs, not the even-numbered ones, to avoid getting poisoned.

As he spoke, Bangiras, fearing that Shangqiu and the others might not believe him, personally conducted an experiment.

However, as soon as he arrived on the third floor, he discovered that Shang Qiu and the others had teleported to his side at the same time.

Bangilas: "..."

What a tragedy, he's made himself suffer all the sins.

Most importantly, it was all for nothing; they weren't afraid of these agencies at all!

By the time they reached the third level, Bangiras didn't want to go any further.

This is such a shoddy construction project, it failed us at the crucial moment!

For no apparent reason, a thought popped into Tyranitar's mind: If only they could take Instant Transmission with them...

Seeing the slight hesitation in Bangiras's mental fluctuations, Shang Qiu casually made a sarcastic remark.

"What, don't you want to exercise anymore?"

"Do you have any Pokémon? Give me one, and I'll have Gardevoir teleport you up there, how about that?"

Bangilas: "!!!"

Damn it, if you can't have me, you're going to try and take my child, huh!

If I didn't have to complete my master's mission right now, I'd beat you to death! (Brothers, don't think he's dramatic; he's a regular character, though he might not be what you expect.)

Bangiras ignored Shang Qiu completely and went up to the fourth floor on his own.

After taking a couple of steps, Tyranitar reluctantly retreated and moved closer to Garchomp.

"Roar!"

Brother, let me tell you, your master is no good person. He kidnaps elves!

I've heard that people in the Plasma Group wouldn't stoop to doing something like that!

Let me tell you, run away as soon as you have a chance. If you stay with this kind of person, you might get sold out at any time.

Let alone being the master of this kind of person, I would seriously consider it even if I were asked to be his master!

After saying that, Bangiras walked toward the fourth floor with a look of great satisfaction. It felt so good to have people talking bad about him behind his back in front of him!

But before he could walk more than a few meters, he heard Shang Qiu's voice.

"Brother, you're so openly insulting me, didn't you even consider that I speak a foreign language?"

Bangilas: "???"
