Chapter 66: I’m Running Inside, What Are You Doing Outside?
“Run! Hurry and run! This damn thing is about to use Dragon Rush!”
The power of lightning’s destruction was still bouncing wildly on Guzzlord’s body, but Guzzlord seemed to feel no pain, showing no sign of injury at all.
Its two short, thick legs pushed forward forcefully, and its body lit up with the deep blue Dragon Rush skill light!
The remaining long tongue also lit up with skill light, swinging wildly in midair as if aimlessly, but in reality, this tentacle-like long tongue had a very clear target: Zuo Hang and Gardevoir hiding in the building.
——Dark-type physical attack, Thrash!
What does it feel like when a 40-meter-diameter lightning meatball crashes toward you?!
Zuo Hang didn’t know.
If he knew, his body might be cold by now.
Gardevoir directly grabbed Zuo Hang and the Electric Mouse and flew upward. At the same time, Pikachu pushed off Zuo Hang’s shoulder and slapped away the thrashing thick long tongue with an Iron Tail.
As everyone knows
Pokémon are divided into only two types: those that can fly and those that can’t.
This 40-meter meatball had no wings, clearly belonging to the latter.
Dragon Rush smashed the already ruined city even more to pieces, but its target Gardevoir had long since taken to the air.
Zuo Hang could see Guzzlord dragging a groove about 40 meters wide through the city, then charging straight ahead, continuing to carve a line through the forest with no intention of stopping.
Same problem as Gible.
This wingless Dragon-type, once it starts rushing, can only charge straight ahead brainlessly, with no way to turn.
Zuo Hang glanced at the terminal.
Lin Ping and Xingye’s signals had disappeared.
He hadn’t paid attention during the fight earlier, and didn’t know if these two guys had been sent back directly by the White Dragon or had slipped away long ago.
Zuo Hang switched to the temporary discussion group.
“Thumbs up with a 1 if you’re alive, 2 if you’re dead.”
Xingye: “11111111”
Lin Ping: “1”
Zuo Rou: “1.”
Heichuan Nagi: “What do I type for half-dead? I’m being chased by a swarm of Beedrill.”
Xingye: “Good grief, you’re still typing while being chased? Impressive, Heichuan sis.”
Lin Ping ignored them: “@Zuo Hang, you done over there?”
Zuo Hang typed: “Not done, Guzzlord is still alive.”
Xingye: “Not to nag, but why hold back against that thing? Just electrocute it and be done.”
Zuo Hang: “I went all out, but it won’t die from electricity.”
Guzzlord’s special defense and physical defense didn’t seem that high; what was strong was just its vitality. When the 47-character ultimate move landed, Pikachu had Electric Terrain active, boosting Electric-type move power by 30% in Electric Terrain.
Even so, it didn’t take down Guzzlord.
If he’d used Trajectory a few more times to max out Special Attack, maybe the Electric Mouse would have had a chance, or if Gardevoir had gone Mega right away.
Zuo Hang never imagined Guzzlord would be so tough.
In his view, the Pokémon left in the secret realm by the first-generation White Dragon principal as a guardian was just double S, so double S should be the ceiling in this secret realm. Pikachu was SS+, and the other Pokémon were all S+, so there was no need to use buff skills to max out stats when fighting other Pokémon.
Too bad the black terminal couldn’t read Guzzlord’s data; if it could, the battle might have been much simpler after knowing its stats.
“Pika!” the Electric Mouse suddenly said.
“Chase or not? Nah, too tanky, and hard to kill.” Zuo Hang said.
“Sha la~” Gardevoir agreed, concurring with Zuo Hang’s opinion.
Pikachu’s ears drooped down.
(T＿T)
He wasn’t too happy,
It had been a rare opponent he could battle to his heart’s content.
Zuo Hang bent down, picked up Pikachu, and stroked his soft fur.
“Next time, definitely next time.”
Honestly, Zuo Hang was a bit scared thinking back; if Pikachu had been swallowed by Guzzlord in one gulp, what happened next would really be hard to say.
It was said Guzzlord could swallow a whole mountain in one go. This Pokémon gave Zuo Hang the feeling of Gluttony from 《Fullmetal Alchemist》, like there was another space in its stomach—if swallowed, getting out again would probably be impossible.
Old Man told him to go to secret realm 2077 to catch a Buzwell, but damn, just one Guzzlord was this hard to deal with; running into a Buzwell would probably be unbeatable.
“Sigh~”
Zuo Hang sighed.
After this exploration ended, he definitely had to ask Old Man for detailed information on Ultra Beasts.
At this time, outside the White Dragon, at the Secret Realm Observation Post.
“What’s up with the drone?? Doesn’t it have an AT field? It got zapped by lightning from 200 meters away?! Shouldn’t the tech department be replaced?!?!” The Class B homeroom teacher shouted loudly in front of the other teachers.
“And who can explain to me, what was that 40-meter-tall Pokémon just now?”
The male teacher from Class E said: “Unclear, but from the footage before the drone lost signal, it should be UB05 Beast, Guzzlord.”
“So why is there an Ultra Beast in secret realm 448??”
“Ah la ah la~~” Teacher Liang Gong hurried forward, “Little Su Su, you arrived late; seeing Ultra Beasts in the secret realm is totally normal, no need to make a fuss, right, Little Xi Ran?”
Xi Ran didn’t speak.
Liang Gong frowned and elbowed her hard.
“Cough.” Feeling the elbow strike to her waist, Xi Ran pushed up her glasses.
“Mm, indeed, seeing Ultra Beasts in the ecological dense area is normal. Teacher Su, no need to worry; the secret realm is very safe, as long as the 【Torii Gate】 can’t be found, no Pokémon can get out of the secret realm.”
Of course
This was pure nonsense from Xi Ran.
Natural secret realms might have a chance, but artificial secret realms absolutely couldn’t have Ultra Beasts.
How could a secret realm made from world-destroying ruins plus some Pokémon eggs and seed machine guns possibly have Ultra Beasts??
If there were, it meant someone threw them in, or the beast ran in itself.
The latter probability was minuscule.
Xi Ran directly concluded the former.
Teacher Liang Gong also immediately leaned toward the first possibility.
The two exchanged a glance; they kept chatting casually with Su Chenglin, but deep down they already knew what to do next.
“You guys watch this; I suddenly need to use the restroom.” Teacher Liang Gong said.
“I’ll go with her.” Xi Ran said.
“Wait, the Ultra Beast thing isn’t explained yet!!” Before Su Chenglin could ask his next question, the two left the observation room.
Su Chenglin muttered softly: “That doesn’t make sense; I’ve been a homeroom teacher for 5 years and never seen an Ultra Beast in a secret realm. Hiss… shouldn’t be.”
At the same time, White Dragon High School, second-year dormitory.
First-year students entered the secret realm at eight, but the second-year dormitory was still eerily quiet.
Trainers get up early, and at this time most people were probably eating in the cafeteria.
Jiang Xia lay on the bed, lazily yawning.
Only trainers get up early; breeders sleep until they wake naturally.
Jiang Xia doesn’t sleep honestly; the Dedenne hugged in Jiang Xia’s arms at night was kicked to the floor by a certain someone rolling over in the morning.
The key was Dedenne still wasn’t awake.
It rolled over on the carpet and kept sleeping.
A breeder’s beautiful Monday
“Get up get up!! Hurry and get up!!! Lazy pig lazy pig lazy pig!!!! Get up get up get up!!!!!”
The door-knocking sound that was utterly annoying from the heart; Jiang Xia had the blanket over her head, with zero intention of opening the door.
But
A certain girl with a hint of a sob in her voice happened to know Jiang Xia’s door code.
In his sleep, a strange sensation came from a distant corner, followed by a violent jolt; Jiang Xia was startled awake by someone who crashed into his arms.
He abruptly opened his eyes; a pair of red heterochromatic eyes stared motionlessly at him.
Just like her name, eyes as beautiful as flames, but at this moment, they were like overflowing clear springs, filled with an inexplicable, irrepressible sadness.
Huohuo pounced on Jiang Xia’s chest, “Wah wah wah~~ wah~~~ Jiang Xia I broke up with Cheng Ge he said I was raising a son behind his back wah wah~~ how could that guy be like this, such a narrow-minded chest!!
He even said I was flirting with Class A guys. Wah wah wah~~ Didn’t I just touch Zuo Hang’s hair and ask Zuo Rou for a few pics of her little brother’s abs?? What did I do wrong?!?”
The more Jiang Xia listened, the more something felt off.
Got an extra son?
Abs photos??
Wait
“Zuo Hang has abs?!!”
“Yeah, six-pack even, wait, I’ll show you.” Saying that, Huohuo wiped her tears and pulled out a photo from her phone.
Taken in the morning, the lighting was a bit dim.
Zuo Hang wore a white shirt, but his stomach was exposed, perfectly showing six-pack abs and a slim waist; the pattern on the bedsheet underneath was a Q-version Dragonite.
Pikachu lay beside Zuo Hang, eyes slightly closed as if sleeping, with Zuo Hang’s hand resting on Pikachu’s back.
Not the beefcake type, Zuo Hang was the kind with a small frame but surprisingly packed.
“Slurp~” Jiang Xia took a deep breath, “Can’t blame you for this, I’d cave too! But what’s with the son? Xingye? I think I heard him call you mom.”
Huohuo waved her hand, “That wasn’t me telling him to; he lost a bet, cheap son, no reason to refuse.”
Jiang Xia said: “Actually, breaking up is for the best; that Cheng Ge feels like a player, and he’s already off-campus… long-distance… tsk…”
“Who said? Don’t long-distance relationships all end in true love??”
“You got it backward… most long-distance ones break up.”
Their voices woke up Dedenne.
A certain little guy groggily climbed onto the bed and happened to see the screen on Huohuo’s terminal.
Yellow!
Fluffy!
Two pointy ears!
Pikachu!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Why see something so terrifying right after waking up??!!!!!
Dedenne tilted its head and chose to keep sleeping.
Qixi Festival chapter disclaimer: nothing happened between Huohuo and Cheng Ge.
