A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

The cursed doll emitted eerie sounds, and black mist emerged from its belly, enveloping the Spirit Heart. The Spirit Heart disappeared once again, freeing itself from the black mist.

"They didn't succeed." Lingyi looked on with amusement.

Without pausing, Lingxin opened her hand and a terrifying superpower suppressed the supernatural force.

The three supernatural spirits attacked together, barely managing to withstand Lingxin's attack.

'Hehehehe~~'

With an eerie smile, it sat on Gengar, watching Lingxin and the three Pokémon fight, as if it were watching a cricket fight.

'Sizzle! Boom!'

Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck directly in the direction of the supernatural phenomenon.

A massive bolt of lightning illuminated the night sky over Star City, and the roar instantly woke everyone in the city.

"Oh dear, this is such a hassle! It's the middle of the night, can't a person get any sleep? Hah~~"

A familiar and lazy voice came from behind. Lin Xiaolin turned around and saw that it was the Electric King!

Beside the Electric King was a powerful-looking Electric Demon Beast.

At that moment, the supernatural being struck directly by the electric monster in the air turned to ashes, but the next moment, a sound came from the air again.

"You two are ganging up on me, isn't that bullying? Fine, I'm going back, I'm not playing with you anymore."

The eerie sounds gradually faded away, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Long Yu and his group have been attacked. I need to go help them. Are you coming?"

Lingxin looked at Feng Shihua and asked.

"Ha~ I'm not going. My job is to protect this kid."

Feng Shihua yawned widely and then pointed at Lin Xiaolin as she spoke.

"Alright, thank you for your trouble."

Lingxin nodded, but was stopped by Lin Xiaolin just as she was about to leave.

"Sister Lingxin, I want to go too."

Lingxin was clearly taken aback, then shook her head.

"No, it's too dangerous."

"I want to go and take a look. I won't go near the core circle, so I'll go find Wang Chuyuan's disciples."

Lin Xiaolin stared intently at Lingxin with a serious expression.

Lingxin stared at him for a while, then sighed.

"Let's go, but you'll have to stay by my side for a while."

Lin Xiaolin instantly floated up.

"Ugh, they just won't let me have a moment's peace."

Feng Shihua released a spirit that was over a meter tall, resembling a swallow; it was a giant electric petrel.

Lingxin carried Lin Xiaolin and flew off into the distance in a flash, while Feng Shihua flew behind them on the Great Electric Seagull.

The flight speed was fast, but it would still take some time for Long Yu and Xiao Yashan to intercept the Poison King and Wang Chuyuan in the neighboring city.

Soon, after flying for more than an hour, Lingxin finally stopped, and the view below made Lin Xiaolin unable to believe it.

Tiancheng was a city of similar size to Xingcheng, and even more prosperous, but at this time, half of Xingcheng had been razed to the ground.

Cries, shouts, and howls rose and fell.

This place is like hell on earth!

Despite such a commotion, no one except Lin Xiaolin and his two companions provided any support.

There might not even be any information from the outside world.

Feng Shihua and Ling Xin's eyes narrowed upon seeing the situation in the city.

At this moment, on the other half of the Tiancheng ruins, Long Yu and Xiao Yashan were facing off against a sinister-looking man and a serious-looking man.

Both sides had ten or more Pokémon fighting in the center, with the roar of battle echoing back and forth.

Just as the three approached, the sinister-looking man looked up.

"Oh no, Lingxin is here, and she's with two other people with her."

The sinister man's pupils constricted the moment he saw Feng Shihua.

"Feng Shihua is here too, sir! Let's run!"

The sinister-looking man spoke to the serious-looking man beside him.

As Lin Xiaolin approached, she realized that the Pokémon confronting Long Yu was actually a Darkrai!

No, this Darkrai is a bit weak; it's not the one with divine authority, yet it held its own against Long Yu's six Pokémon.

Xiao Yashan, on the other hand, was outnumbered 6 to 12 and was clearly on the verge of collapse.

The two opponents saw Long Yu and Xiao Yashan, and Long Yu immediately intensified his attack, wanting to take them down in one fell swoop.

"go!"

The serious-looking man took a deep breath, glanced in Long Yu's direction, turned and ran, with the six elves following behind.

Long Yu and Xiao Yashan wouldn't let this opportunity pass them by and immediately gave chase.

Long Yu immediately mounted the Dragonite and chased after the opponent, while Ling Xin put Lin Xiaolin and Feng Shihua down and followed.

"Darkrai! Dark Hole!"

Darkrai raised his hands, and a massive black hole appeared above the entire Sky City, as if it wanted to devour it.

The group paused, wanting to turn back and help Tiancheng.

"Go after them!!! The Dark Hole does no damage! Come back to me!!!"

Lin Xiaolin took a deep breath and roared, the sound reaching Long Yu's ears, who was a hundred meters away.

Long Yu was taken aback, but after glancing back at Lin Xiaolin, he immediately chased after the two.

The sinister-looking man was also surprised to see that Long Yu hadn't fallen for the trick.

He originally intended for the Dark Hole to stall the others, or at least leave one person behind, but unexpectedly, no one was left.

------

Lin Xiaolin wiped his sweat as the enormous black hole above his head slowly pressed down.

The Dark Hole pulls people and elves from the area into a dark space, putting them into a sleep, at most causing them to have nightmares.

Furthermore, the opponent released such a large dark hole, making the power even smaller when distributed among all parties.

However, Lin Xiaolin still released Xiao Lan during the safe period. Xiao Lan stood beside him and looked around solemnly.

The dark hole slowly descended, enveloping the entire city, instantly plunging it into darkness. A flame lit up in Xiao Lan's hand, illuminating the surroundings.

The cries and screams all around ceased, and all the ordinary people fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Xiaolin didn't have time to look for any of Wang Chuyuan's disciples right now; he had only one goal: to save people!

Release Xiao Bao and Xiao Tan. Xiao Lan is responsible for sensing where people are buried and providing lighting. Once Xiao Bao is found, the ruins are lifted up, while Xiao Tan and he go down below to rescue the people.

It's actually thanks to the Dark Hole that everyone fell asleep, otherwise Lin Xiaolin's rescue would have been much more difficult.

Soon, trainers from Amagi also came over. Because the Dark Hole was expanded, its power was greatly reduced. As long as there was an elite-level Pokémon nearby, it was basically impossible to fall asleep.

Seeing Lin Xiaolin performing the first aid, the crowd slowly approached.

These are all trainers, and they are all very capable of helping. Those who are not injured will go into the ruins with Lin Xiaolin to rescue people, while those who are injured will stay upstairs to take care of ordinary people.

The main purpose was to have them lie down flat so that the rescue team could provide medical care when they arrived.

Soon, hospital staff from Tiancheng arrived and began to provide basic first aid to these individuals.

------

Lin Xiaolin dug out another person from the ruins. Both hands were stained red with blood. It was a child, probably only four or five years old.

But Lin Xiaolin trembled as she touched the body with her hand; it was ice-cold and lifeless.

This is already the umpteenth corpse he's dug up.

Not to mention disabilities; there are quite a few people who are missing legs or hands.

Lin Xiaolin handed the body up, and someone else then passed it to the top.

There was no time for lamenting; every minute saved now might mean saving another life. Lin Xiaolin started digging again.

Just as Lin Xiaolin was numbly preparing to move on to the next place after finishing excavating one of the ruins, a series of sounds suddenly came from there.

Suddenly, a boy who looked even younger than Lin Xiaolin slapped one of the trainers who was rescuing him.

That trainer was among the first group to follow Lin Xiaolin.
