Pokémon: Did you play Pokémon today?

Chapter 367 Come out, Giratina!!!

"Tsk—so decisive—"

Bai Zhou frowned, his gaze fixed on the crimson sun rapidly plummeting towards the ground!

That bastard is trying to use Dark Lugia to hold me back while he escapes back to the surface and then finds another chance to escape back to the Ultra Cavern!

Stop Dark Lugia, or pursue the Crimson Sun?

Children make choices!

White Boat tossed the Poké Ball, and Lugia appeared in front of him.

It blinked its eyes, seemingly wondering why it had suddenly arrived at such a high place.

But when its gaze fell upon the figure not far away that was frantically gathering dark energy, the bird froze!

Listen up!

The white boat's voice interrupted its thoughts!

"Only you can awaken your mother! I will have Rayquaza bring you closer! Understand?"

He didn't ask stupid questions like "Can it be done?"

This is a difficulty that little Lugia must overcome, and a chasm that it must cross to bridge the bond between it and its mother!

Little Lugia's body trembled violently, then he nodded forcefully!

An unprecedented determination burst forth from that small body!

Rayquaza let out a low growl, seemingly somewhat unwilling.

It didn't want to leave the white boat.

"obedient!"

Bai Zhou patted the Lie Kong Zuo beneath him, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"Leave that guy to me!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he leaped into the air!

The wind whistled in my ears, and a feeling of weightlessness instantly overwhelmed me!

Gardevoir leaped out immediately after, its invisible psychic power enveloping White Boat's body, carrying him rapidly in pursuit of the direction where the sun had fallen!

A white streak of light pierced the sky!

The blazing sun plummeted wildly towards the ground!

The scenery flashed by, and he could already see the outline of Fenglai City below!

As long as he can escape Bai Zhou's sight, even for just a few seconds, he can immediately have the Paper Sword open the Ultimate Hole to escape!

But he could sense that Bai Zhou was right behind him!

"Paper Sword! Land in the forest! Hide!"

Paper Sword's silver figure streaked across the night sky like a shooting star, leaving a straight trail of light before plunging into the vast primeval forest below!

With a few fleeting flashes, they easily concealed themselves using the dense canopy and intricate branches!

The sun, which had just landed, didn't even have time to catch its breath before it hurriedly commanded the Paper Sword to open the Ultimate Cave.

"Paper Sword! Open the Ultimate Abyss! Quickly!!!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the paper sword slashed through the air with its sharp blade!

A tiny spatial rift opened up in response!

The crack spread rapidly, and in an instant it formed an ultimate cavern large enough for one person to pass through!

Chi Ri finally showed the joy of surviving a disaster!

He took a deep breath and was about to step into the passage leading to survival.

"Gardedor, let magic shine here."

A calm voice suddenly rang out in the silent forest!

next moment.

The light exploded instantly, illuminating the entire forest as if it were daytime!

Chi Ri's movements suddenly froze!

As the light faded, he turned his head with difficulty.

Bai Zhou, carrying Gardevoir, landed steadily less than ten meters in front of him.

At this point, Chi Ri was surprisingly not in a hurry.

"Hahahaha—hahahahaha—"

He stared intently at the white boat, a surge of exhilaration welling up inside him, and he was about to step into the ultimate alien cave.

"As long as I want to go, the road is there—"

"Gengar! Switch places!"

Bai Zhou's command interrupted him.

Gengar's sinister and eerie face suddenly emerged from the shadows beneath Red Sun's feet!

It even waved its paw in a friendly gesture.

The next moment, the figure blurred and space distorted.

The figures of White Boat and Gengar instantly swapped positions.

"What are you babbling about!"

Bai Zhou's lips slowly curved upwards, revealing a bright and sunny smile.

"I couldn't figure out the difference in strength; I forgot about it in the middle, I forgot about it later, anyway..."

A huge fist grew larger and larger in Chi Ri's vision until it completely blocked his view!

"Welcome my lion's fangs!"

Bai Zhou's perfectly rounded punch, carrying his entire weight and momentum, landed squarely on Chi Ri's left cheek!

"puff--!"

Chi Ri's face instantly twisted and deformed, and a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood spurted from his mouth!

The enormous impact sent him tumbling through the air several times, snapping three trees as thick as a bowl.

It carved a long trench in the ground, and only came to a stop after crashing into a huge rock!

He collapsed onto the pile of rocks, half of his face swelling rapidly, and he groaned incoherently.

All of this happened so fast!

Paper Sword, who was standing right next to the scorching sun, didn't even realize what had happened!

But it couldn't just stand by and watch its trainer get beaten up like that.

The blade of the paper sword instantly stood upright, and white light rapidly condensed on the sharp paper blade.

The Iaijutsu was already poised to strike, ready to come crashing down at his head in the next second.

At such a short distance, Bai Zhou had no time to dodge, but the dark sphere at his waist suddenly sprang open.

Young Gilas froze in mid-air, steadily blocking the slash.

clang-

The crisp sound of metal clashing.

The sharp edge of the Iai Slash struck Young Gilas's body, sending sparks flying.

Young Kirlas remained completely still, without even blinking!

"Young Gilas! Bite! Control it!"

Bai Zhou landed with a nimble sidestep, simultaneously issuing commands.

"Gardedor! Now's your chance! Use Magical Flame!"

Young Gilas swiftly turned halfway around, opened its massive jaws, and bit down on the blade that had just struck it.

In the distance, Gardevoir clasped its hands together in front of its chest, its eyes gleaming.

Several dazzling flames gathered around it, transforming into streaks of fire shooting straight towards the paper sword!

However, Karatama is an Ultra Beast, and its strength far exceeds that of ordinary Pokémon.

It didn't care about this "tickling" attack at all, and just suddenly swung it away with force.

The immense force lifted Young Gilas up and slammed him into the ground, creating a shallow crater!

He then flashed away, easily dodging the belated magical flames, and hovered in mid-air, watching the white boat warily.

Bai Zhou smiled slightly.

His goal from the beginning was not to control or defeat the paper sword.

In wild battles, the first priority is always to have only one trainer who can defeat the opponent.

Pokémon vs. Pokémon.

That trainer is against another trainer.

Once the Paper Sword was interfered with, even for only a fraction of a second, it was no longer able to stop the White Boat.

He stomped his foot hard, sending dirt flying.

His figure flashed to the front of Chi Ri, who was still coughing up blood!

Chi Ri propped himself up on the ground, half of his face swollen so badly that he could barely open his eyes.

He struggled to his feet and looked up to see the ghostly white boat.

And a fist that had been swung in again.

"That punch!"

The fist tore through the air, accompanied by a whistling sound!

"Avoid arrogance and impatience!!!"

boom!

Another solid, powerful punch!

Chi Ri spun 360 degrees to the side, and the impact forced him to slam heavily to the ground, rolling several times before finally coming to a stop.

"puff--!"

He spat out another mouthful of blood, staining the soil beneath him red!

Various images kept flashing through my mind.

Childhood dreams, youthful persistence, and that forever unattainable "new world" —

Perception of the surroundings gradually blurred, and sounds became distant and distorted.

In a daze, Chi Ri seemed to see the world he had pursued all his life.

Perfect, harmonious, without conflict —

It's right in front of you, within reach.

"Is this... my new world?"

Chi Ri muttered to himself, his eyes glazed over.

But his tenacious will to survive and amazing vitality allowed him to stand up again in this state.

Bai Zhou looked at him and frowned.

Just as he was about to finish off the enemy, his overflowing sensory superpowers suddenly went berserk, and a sharp alarm sounded in his mind.

Almost instinctively, the white boat suddenly rolled backward.

A piercing hum of swords and blades resounded in his ears.

A deep sword mark instantly appeared where he had just stood.

On the sword mark, the paper sword remained in a slashing motion, and the blade still retained a chilling light!

"Tsk—lucky guy."

Bai Zhou steadied himself and spat out a mouthful of spittle, clearly annoyed.

What upset him wasn't the paper sword's sneak attack, but that the punch he had just thrown hadn't killed Chi Ri!

We are all living life to the fullest.

No, I used so much force, how are you still alive?!

It wasn't that he showed mercy; the backlash from forcibly Mega Evolving Rayquaza had finally arrived.

The mental strain and the sudden physical exhaustion caused him to be briefly distracted.

Now that he had regained his footing, the feeling of weakness intensified, and even his hands began to tremble slightly.

He could feel the super-resistance within him receding like a tide, and waves of soreness emanating from his limbs and bones.

We can't delay any longer; we need to finish this quickly!

"Hmph—Hahaha—"

Chi Ri suddenly burst into laughter, but the blood gushing from the corner of his mouth made his laughter look incredibly creepy.

"Bai————Zhou————"

His voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.

"You—can't win—"

Suddenly, he pulled out a fragment of the white jade pearl and threw it directly at the paper sword.

"Paper Sword Control!!! Holy Sword!!!"

Its two blades snapped shut, unleashing a blinding white light.

The white light transformed into a giant sword phantom several meters long, which slashed down fiercely at the flying fragment!

Click—

A very faint cracking sound rang out.

The sound was very soft, so soft that it sounded as if a piece of glass had been accidentally stepped on and broken.

But the moment it rang out, it seemed to be amplified by some mysterious force, and could be clearly heard in every corner of Fenglai City, in the ears of everyone!

on the square.

"What...what is this?"

Some people reached out blankly, trying to touch the black crack that had appeared out of nowhere, but the biting cold made them quickly pull their hands back.

Subsequently, more and more people noticed the anomaly!

"What's going on?! Why are there so many cracks?!"

"Oh my god! It's on the ground! It's in the air! What's going on?!"

"Was it that lunatic again? Didn't we already take him away?"

"What on earth happened?! Has the battle between the handsome researcher and Lugia ended?!"

"I have a bad feeling—my heart is racing—"

"Stop talking! Me too! I have a feeling something terrible is about to happen!"

"Heavens! Everyone, look up at the sky!"

Suddenly, someone let out a scream, and everyone looked up at the sky.

In the azure sky, countless cracks appeared, spreading wildly.

Those cracks were like living things, constantly extending and expanding, growing bigger and bigger, more and more numerous, as if the sky itself was being torn apart!

Zhu Lan stared blankly up at the scene, a strange sense of familiarity welling up in her heart.

She had seen similar descriptions in those ancient mythological texts—

For some reason, she suddenly felt a pang of anxiety.

The palpitation was so intense that her hand involuntarily gripped the pendant that had been with her for many years.

Deep in the forest.

"Bai Zhou."

Chi Ri wiped the blood off his face with his arm, and a triumphant smile appeared on his calm face.

"It's all because of you. The destruction of the entire city is because of you. If it weren't for you, these people could have lived peacefully."

"You are the culprit who destroyed this city—"

His voice grew weaker and weaker, but the smile on his face grew brighter and brighter.

"And also—I have never lost—never—"

Bai Zhou stared at him, remaining silent.

His punch just now wasn't fast enough, nor was it powerful enough!

He did not send Chi Ri directly to the "new world" he longed for.

I never expected this guy would actually have the guts to go this far.

To drag the entire city down with them, they were willing to detonate spatial fragments.

"Has backbone —"

Bai Zhou rarely offered a word of praise.

He looked at Paper Sword standing beside the Crimson Sun and began to think about how to deliver the final blow before the space completely collapsed.

Time to end.

Just as he was about to act.

A massive spatial rift suddenly appeared between him and the blazing sun.

The crack was several meters wide, effectively severing the contact between the two!

"You want to kill me?"

Chi Ri noticed his slight forward lean, and the smile on his face gradually faded, returning to his indifferent and aloof expression.

"Bai Zhou, you must live well, and then—bear the burden of everything that was lost because of you."

Bai Zhou glanced at him but did not reply.

A moment later, he made a move that Chi Ri couldn't understand at all.

He calmly took out a Poké Ball and recalled Gengar, Gardevoir, and the others!

"you----"

Chi Ri was taken aback by his actions, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
