Chapter 253 The Vanished

Darkrai looked down on the young man in front of him, so after playing a trick on him, he and Dragonite took him back to Snorlax's house.

Because Ange was busy, Dragonite and Darkrai didn't bother him.

It wasn't until after 10:00 that the guests gradually left, and Anjie finally learned what had happened and met the young man.

Upon seeing An Jie, the young man immediately burst into tears and hugged An Jie's leg, saying:

"I know I was wrong, please let me go, please, waaaaah~~~"

He appeared unaffected, but in reality, he had been dragged into nightmares by Darkrai several times and was now mentally broken from fear.

Anjie said, "It's no use telling me this. You should go and tell Miss Officer Jenny!"

Ange then sent Dragonite and Inteleon home first, while he and Darkrai took the young man to the police station.

Catching Pokémon is fine, but if you use improper means, you will be breaking the League's laws. Therefore, the young man will probably have to suffer a lot after being taken to the police station.

After being tortured by Darkrai, the young man was mentally broken and confessed to his crimes without any attempt to hide them when he arrived at the police station.

It turns out he had used this method to capture Pokémon more than once; he had captured his Woodpecker and Mamoswine in the same way.

Alright, the crime is compounded, and this young man is in for a rough time.

After leaving the police station, Anja and Darkrai walked back to the Snorlax house.

Halfway there, as they crossed a bridge, Darkrai suddenly stopped.

Anjie asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Dark~~" Darkrai called out to Ange and then quickly flew off in one direction.

Seeing this, Anjie quickly followed.

After a series of twists and turns, Darkrai stopped in front of a manhole cover.

Anjie looked down at the manhole cover and asked, "What's down there?"

"Dark~~" Darkrai nodded.

Upon hearing this, Anjie looked around and, seeing that no one was there, he lifted the manhole cover with his bare hands and then jumped down with Darkrai.

After Darkrai went down, he made sure to put the manhole cover back on.

As soon as he stepped off the manhole cover, Anjie's ears twitched; he seemed to hear a sobbing sound.

"Pokémon?"

So he led Darkrai along the path of sobbing.

Below the manhole cover was a wide sewer, with water rushing forward. Fortunately, Anjie had good hearing, otherwise she wouldn't have heard the faint crying.

After searching for a while, Ange spotted three Pokémon in a corner.

A Meowth, and it's an Alola region form of Meowth.

A Dewpie and a Umbreon.

All three are Dark-type Pokémon, no wonder Darkrai was able to sense their presence from a great distance.

The crying that Angel heard was coming from Dewynn, because the Umbreon in front of them was unconscious and covered in wounds.

The Alola Meowth was very alert; even though Ange's walking didn't make much noise, it still keenly noticed.

The moment Anjie appeared, it leaped in front of Anjie, blocking her path.

"Meow~" Meow let out a sharp hiss, trying to scare Anjie away.

At this moment, Derubi also saw Anjie. It quickly wiped away its tears, ran to Meow Meow's side, and bared its teeth at Anjie as well.

"Waaaaah~~"

You can tell from its childish voice that Deruby is not very old.

Upon seeing this, Anjie quickly said, "Don't misunderstand, we meant no harm. We just heard Deruby crying and came to check on the situation."

However, Deruby and Meow Meow didn't believe Angie and continued to grin at him.

"Dark~~" Darkrai flew forward upon seeing this and let out a commanding shout at the two Pokémon.

Hmph! It doesn't know what's good for it. If it were before, it would have pretended not to see this. Now that it kindly brought Anjie to help, this little guy is not grateful at all!

Dewpi and Meowth trembled in fright, but they still bravely stood in front of Umbreon.

Angel waved to Darkrai, who glared at the two Pokémon and retreated back behind Angel.

Meow and Derubi were so frightened that they almost collapsed to the ground.

Anja said, "Umbreon seems to be injured. You're protecting it, right? I can help heal Umbreon's injuries."

Hearing this, Dewpi and Meowth turned to look at Umbreon. Seeing Umbreon's vital signs growing weaker and weaker, a hint of hesitation flashed across their faces.

Anja continued, "You can tell from Darkrai beside me that it is very powerful. If I want to do something to you, I don't need your consent at all, and you can't resist it."

Believe me, I really meant no harm.

Upon hearing this, Derubi glanced at Meowth and meowed at it.

It's clear that Meowth is in charge of these two Pokémon, and Houndoom is seeking Meowth's opinion.

After a moment's thought, Miaomiao silently made way for Anjie.

Angie rushed forward to check on Umbreon and found that it was seriously injured, with multiple wounds from being hit, and it also seemed to have internal damage.

He couldn't handle an injury of that severity.

So after giving Umbreon some basic first aid to prevent its injuries from worsening, Angel said to Dewpi and Meowth:

"Umbreon is badly injured, and its life could be in danger if this continues, so I need to take it to the Pokémon Center."

Upon hearing that Umbreon was in mortal danger, Derubi immediately started crying again.

Anjie quickly comforted it, saying, "Miss Joy is very capable. With her around, Umbreon will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty!"

Upon hearing this, the cat bowed to Anjie, its eyes pleading, hoping that Anjie could help them.

Although it had been calm and collected until now, it finally panicked when it heard that Umbreon might die.

Anjie bent down and picked up Umbreon. "Don't worry, we're going to the Pokémon Center right now!"

He then turned back the way he came.

Seeing this, Meow Meow and Derubi quickly followed.

After exiting the sewers, Angeli led several Pokémon to the Pokémon Center as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, on the Nibel Plateau.

After returning from the royal city, Kirlian had lunch with her parents.

Because its parents were busy, it made a promise with Riolu to go play together.

They arrived at a flower field in the northwest and, seeing the flowers in full bloom, happily entered the field to pick them.

The two Pokémon picked flowers while discussing how to decorate the room with them.

Not far away, two bees were dancing among the flowers, playing and collecting nectar as they went.

After the four Pokémon met, they greeted each other and then played together in the flower bushes, chatting and laughing happily.

However, at that moment, the ground suddenly trembled violently, and Kirlia and Riolu lost their footing and fell to the ground.

"Honey~ Honey~"

"Honey~ Honey~"

At this moment, the two bees looked behind Kirlia and Riolu and cried out in terror. Instantly thick brown tentacles emerged from the ground, and wherever they passed, flowers withered and died.

It's the kind of monster Anjie was talking about!!!

Kirlia and Riolu turned around and were immediately terrified, so they ran away.

Two bees followed closely behind.

Just then, the tentacles attacked the four Pokémon, writhing and lashing out at them.

The tentacles moved incredibly fast, arriving beside the four Pokémon in almost an instant.

Seeing that the tentacle was about to hit one of the three bees, Kirlia quickly used her psychic powers to create a barrier in an attempt to stop the tentacle.

However, how could Kirlia possibly be a match for tentacles?

"Kiru~" After a wail, Kirlia was sent flying and crashed heavily into the flower bushes.

Furthermore, because the psychic barrier had just been shattered, Kirlia's mental energy was violently fluctuating, and it was now experiencing a severe headache.

"Rio~~" Riolu was furious when he saw this, so he rushed forward and used Rock Smash to slap the tentacles hard.

At the same time, the two bees also rapidly vibrated their wings, using the wind to attack their tentacles.

Unfortunately, the attacks of the three Pokémon were insignificant to the tentacles.

The tentacles were numerous, and they twisted and turned as they approached Riolu and Tribeca, intending to coil up the three Pokémon.

At this critical moment, Kirlia, despite her headache, used Teleport to appear beside them and remove them from the tentacles.

However, teleportation is a skill that consumes a lot of resources, and Kirlia is not strong enough, not to mention that it is also carrying three companions.

Therefore, after moving only a short distance, it fell from the sky along with Riolu and the two bees.

As soon as they landed, the tentacles descended again.

Riolu was the first to be attacked because it was closest to the tentacles.

Kirlia reacted quickly, pushing Riolu away just as it was about to be attacked, while it itself was lifted into the air by the tentacles.

"Kirul~~" Kirlia let out a painful groan as the tentacles tightened.

"Rio~~" Riolu got up from the ground and tried to rescue Kirlia, but was suddenly grabbed by a hand.

It turned around and saw that it was a screw gopher.

It turned out that the patrol team had finally arrived after hearing the commotion.

Kodora, Sand Hippopotamus, and Hippopotamus are all there.

"Giggle~ Giggle~" Screw Mole sent Riolu and Three Bees to find help, leaving the task of rescuing Kirlia to them.

Riolu knew that staying behind would only make things worse, so it ran for help as fast as it could, with two bees following closely behind.

Over there, the sand hippopotamus, hippopotamus, and Kodora have already launched an attack on the tentacles.

The sand hippopotamus and the hippopotamus leaped into the air and each used their crushing ability to bite a tentacle hard.

Hippowdon, being a fully evolved Pokémon with rigorous training, is very strong and immediately bit off one of its tentacles.

Its bite force is terrifying.

The sand hippopotamus was far weaker; not only did it fail to bite through the tentacles, it was also flung away by them.

Kodora used her Iron Head skill to slam into the tentacle that was lashing out at her, instantly shattering one of the tentacles.

Not to be outdone, the screw-like gopher used its tearing claws to meet the attack when a tentacle came at it.

Although the Pokémon performed very well, there were too many tentacles, and they gradually became a bit overwhelmed.

Kirlia was held aloft by the tentacles, and the expression on her face grew increasingly painful.

Just then, a ball of flame appeared out of nowhere and slammed into the tentacle, charring it black.

It turned out that the Arrow Eagle had arrived.

However, the tentacles are not living beings and do not feel pain, so even though they smelled burnt, they did not loosen their grip on Kirlia.

Following closely behind the Arrowhawk was its wife, the Mukehawk.

The Mk Eagle used close combat, its sharp and powerful talons tearing the tentacles apart.

After the tentacle broke off, Kirlia fell uncontrollably downwards, plummeting straight towards the center of the tentacle.

Numerous tentacles cluster together like a bouquet, with the central point where they connect to each other.

The area was shrouded in a dark red mist, obscuring the view inside.

When the Arrowhawk and the Starhawk saw this, they tried to catch Kirlia, but two tentacles that followed blocked their way.

Kirlia itself wanted to escape by teleporting, but just as it was about to use the skill, its head felt like it was about to explode and was in excruciating pain.

It turns out that while it was injured, it used Teleport to escape with Riolu and two three-bee birds, which greatly depleted its energy, and it can no longer use Teleport now.

It was still too small, and its mental strength did not support its frequent use of teleportation.

If it were just its own kind, that would be one thing, but it had brought Riolu and two three-bees with it.

The teleportation failed, and Kirlia fell into the black mist at the center of the tentacle and disappeared.

Seeing this, the Sand Hippopotamus, Hippopotamus, Kodora, Screw Mole, Arrowhawk, and Starhawk were all furious.

"Roar!!!" With a roar, a bright light burst forth from Kodora's body.

"Gurgle~" Another angry hiss, and the Screw Mole's body also burst out with a bright blue-white light.

Stimulated, both Gopher and Screwpod evolved.

The light of evolution quickly faded, and two brand new Pokémon appeared.

It was a large creature, at least 3 meters tall, covered in hard armor.

This is the evolved form of Aggron, the Ironclad Pokémon – Aggron.

The other one was shorter, with sharp steel blades on its head and hands, making it look very destructive.

This is the final evolution of Screwpod, the underground Pokémon—Excadrill.

As soon as the two Pokémon finished evolving, they attacked the tentacles with anger.

Aggron used its pounce attack to grab a tentacle and instantly tear it apart.

The dragon-headed ground squirrel clasped its hands together, transforming them into a sharp drill. Using a straight-pump drill, it instantly shredded a tentacle to pieces.

Both the Arrowhawk and the Starhawk were extremely angry, feeling that Kirlia was in danger because of them. So one used Brave Bird to launch a fierce attack, and the other used close combat to frantically attack the tentacles.
