Chapter 228

"Whoosh!"

The sound of wind breaking rang out again, and several Pheromosa had rushed to the side of the Pokémon sent out by Qiao Ran and Lillie. Although their limbs looked incredibly slender and long, their entire bodies seemed to be filled with terrifying explosive power, revealing their Fighting type- type characteristics.

Their knees shot up as they attacked the Pokémon.

High Jump Kick!

This is a powerful move with a strength of 130 in the Fighting-type. Getting hit by such a move would probably not be pleasant. However... the terrain they are in right now is too narrow. Even if Qiao Ran wanted to have his Pokémon dodge, there probably wouldn't be enough space!

There's no other way.

"Suicune, Water Cannon! Dianxi, Diamond Storm!"

Qiao Ran could only issue commands to all the Pokémon, ordering them to use their respective skills and engage Pheromosa in a melee. This situation, where only Close Combat was possible, was a huge advantage for Pheromosa, a Fighting type- type Pokémon that excels at close-range fighting.

Pokémon that counter them, such as Yveltal, Reshiram, Latias, simply cannot maneuver effectively in such narrow passages.

Mimikyu, Vulpix, you guys lend a hand too!

The two Pokémon perched on Qiao Ran's shoulders also joined the battle. There was only one way to change the current situation... but Mei's condition had not fully recovered yet, and the situation was extremely bad.

"However... if all else fails, we can always retreat back to the Real World..."

Qiao Ran now

They were not restricted from traversing worlds by Singularity missions. In other words, this incident was not classified as a singularity mission, and they could leave at any time if they wanted to.

However, Qiao Ran did not intend to give up so easily. He had encountered even worse situations before, and this level of difficulty was not enough to make him give up.

As the commotion caused here, more and more Ultra Beast began to appear at both ends of the passage. It was like a whole system where pulling one thread affects the whole body. Qiao Ran and the others only made eye contact with one Pheromosa, and immediately a whole group of them appeared.

"Mei..."

Qiao Ran moved closer to Mei, placed his hand on her back, and once again used the Tokiwa Power to alleviate her symptoms, while lifting her up. Although Mei's figure was much better than Lillie's, her weight was still within Qiao Ran's acceptable range.

"Lillie, let's go this way!"

Using his Aura Power detection abilities, Qiao Ran instantly determined the side with fewer Pheromosa. Continuing to stay in this alley would only worsen the situation. Qiao Ran needed to find a larger space so that the remaining large Pokémon could come out and join the battle.

--The vertically connected space at the center of the Aether Foundation is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Um!"

Lillie nodded, instantly understanding Qiao Ran's meaning. Just as Qiao Ran could communicate directly with other Pokémon, she and Qiao Ran also had such a connection, making it very easy for her to understand Qiao Ran meaning.

"... Nihilego!"

Lillie's two Nihilego became her main force against the Pheromosa, but due to type advantage, both the Type: Null and Nihilego struggled greatly in this battle.

"It's okay... it will be okay."

The Nebby in Lillie's arms seemed to be uncomfortable, covering its head as if it didn't want to see this scene.

Qiao Ran rushed to the front and took out his Key Stone, allowing Dianxi to undergo Mega Evolution. At the same time, he pulled a disc from the Spatial Rift and inserted it into the RKS System on Silvally's head.

"Flying type!"

After a flash of light, the feathers on Silvally's head turned a deep blue, representing its Flying type, signifying a complete change in Silvally's attributes.

"Multi-Attack!"

Under Qiao Ran's command, the Silvally Beast was enveloped in blue flight energy and charged straight forward. At this moment, the Beast Killer's abilities were finally fully demonstrated. Able to switch attributes at will, she would not be at a complete disadvantage in any battle.

"...&*@!"

Seeing such a terrifying Monster charging straight at them, the Pheromosa could only hurriedly dodge. With its Flying type dealing four times the damage and its defenses being as low as Caterpie's, it had no way to withstand it.

"Walk!"

Qiao Ran didn't send his Silvally to attack with the intention of eliminating the Pheromosa in one blow, since these Ultra Beasts were too fast and hitting them would be very difficult. However, through Silvally's unreasonable charge, a gap had been created in the encirclement formed by the Pheromosa.

"Walk...!"

Qiao Ran, carrying Mei, started running Qiao Ran Dianxi the other Pokémon flanked them, covering Lillie movements.

Before long, the end of the passage appeared before Qiao Ran's eyes. Stepping out of the passage, there was a vast, empty space with huge suspended corridors everywhere. In the center was a huge circular column, which was the location of the Central Elevator of the Aether Foundation.

... good!

Qiao Ran thought to himself, "Great!" With this space, his other Pokémon now had a place to shine.

However--

Before he could even feel happy for a second, a Red fist shot out from where he was standing, punching right through the aerial walkway.

"...!"

Qiao Ran narrowly escaped by taking a step back, panting heavily. If it weren't for his Aura Power allowed him to detect his surroundings, he probably would have been sent flying by that impact.

No... perhaps it wasn't just being knocked away, it was more like a direct...

Qiao Ran stared wide-eyed as the Red figure stopped in front of him, its wings still buzzing.

This... is yet another brand new Ultra Beast!

">

">

Each Ultra Beast has its own distinct characteristics.

Just like the one that appeared in front of Qiao Ran, it had the appearance of a mosquito, but its whole body was covered with bulging muscles, which seemed to be filled with bright red liquid. Not only that, its lower body also had four "legs" that could move freely, and transparent wings for flight grew on its back.

"UB02: Expansion..."

Lillie also recognized this Ultra Beast. According to the Aether Foundation's records, it was the second Ultra Beast recorded after Nihilego. However, it should have a more fitting name— Buzzwole.

"How come there are suddenly so many Ultra Beasts?"

Qiao Ran glanced at the huge hole punched through the air, then at the Buzzwole in the sky. This time, without hesitation, he recalled several Pokémon and released Pokémon that could fly freely in the air.

"Yveltal! Reshiram!... Latias! Altaria!"

Qiao Ran pulled Lillie, who was standing next to him, and amidst Lillie's exclamation, he grabbed Mei and jumped onto the back of the White Dragon.

The space near the aerial bridge is large enough for combat, but dealing with enemies that can fly freely in mid-air is extremely difficult. If the Buzzwole continue to attack from below, Qiao Ran doesn't know if he can dodge them every time. Moreover, even if he can dodge them, it will be difficult for Lillie and the others to deal with them.

"Let's go downstairs!"

Below the Central Area lies Mei's former residence, a place with ample Battle Court for combat. Most importantly, once there, there's no need to guard against attacks from below.

--Most importantly, the Central Elevator can be powered on from below, taking you directly to Lusamine's laboratory. Generally speaking, Lusamine should be in her laboratory.

"Buzzing..."

After Qiao Ran and the others jumped onto Reshiram's back, the flightless Pheromosa gave up the Pursuit and could only stand there with their hands on their hips, Leer. Instead, a piercing buzzing sound came from somewhere, and a group of mosquitoes with Red bodies and strong muscles flapped their wings and flew over from the air.

"Buzzwole, Level: 46"

These Ultra Beast were all of very similar level, and... even more terrifying than ordinary Pokémon in the Pokémon World. If they were in the wild in the Pokémon World, each of them would be a dominant force.

However, the creatures that can become Ultra Beast are quite special in themselves. Many "Ultra Beast" are originally the overlords of their respective regions, such as Nihilego. In their own territories, they have almost no enemies that they can take seriously.

"Wow... so fast..."

This was the first time Lillie had experienced such an intense battle. Clinging to Reshiram's back and watching the rapidly changing scene around her, she could only hold onto Qiao Ran's body tightly.

In a proper Trainer battle, such a thing would never happen. Unless the Pokémon League Rules were not yet perfected, or under certain special circumstances, Trainer would engage in this kind of "wild fight" style of combat. In that case, the goal was basically to take the opponent's life.

In such battles, Trainer not only need to pay attention to the Pokémon's battle situation, but also need to consider how to protect themselves. If necessary, they also need to have some fighting ability themselves.

"Qiao... Qiao Ran..."

With Qiao Ran's constant nourishment, Mei has basically recovered. Her inherent qualities are not bad; she just hadn't experienced the impact of the Ultra Beast Aura before.

"I feel... I'm almost better, I can... relax a little..."

A slight blush crept onto Mei's face; she actually felt a little embarrassed.

"Let's talk about it after we go downstairs. You should rest a bit more."

Qiao Ran interrupted her. In order for Mei to fully recover, she did need more rest. To be honest, in this battle where she could lose her life at any moment, Qiao Ran didn't pay attention to anything else.

Mei remained silent and did not answer, but simply shrank back. Although Qiao Ran's behavior seemed somewhat domineering, she did not dislike it.

Like a kitten, she responded softly.

"... Um."

On the other side, the Pokémon sent out by Qiao Ran were also engaged in a fierce battle with the Buzzwole in the air. At this time, Yveltal was showing its might, and Oblivion Wing was sweeping across the air as if it were free.

"Die!!!"

The Black and Red beams of light bombarded everything visible to the naked eye. The fourfold damage from the Flying type against Fighting type and Bug types struck Buzzwole with almost utter devastation.

What's most terrifying is that, thanks to Oblivion Wing's regeneration ability, Yveltal charged straight to the front lines, almost unaffected by the damage from the Buzzwole, acting like a god of war.

"Come on! All of you, attack at once!"

Yveltal went berserk, some of her attacks even striking the nearby covered bridge, cleaving the steel structure in two. Unable to withstand the onslaught...

The bridge began to shift and eventually collapsed with a deafening crash.

"Ah... ah ah."

Lillie was stunned, her mouth agape, unable to utter a word for a long time. The Aether Foundation, my Aether Foundation!

"..."

As for the other Pokémon, Latias and Altaria were helping to clear out the scattered escaped Buzzwole next to Yveltal, while also basking in some of the experience dropped by Yveltal during battles.

"Oh, right."

Latias, being a Psychic type, is clearly quick-witted. She even teleported to the side of some knocked-down Buzzwole and Fling Poké Ball.

"Master definitely needs this, right?"

Although they look a bit ugly, this is all necessary work to expand the ecology of the Wild Area. Even though these Buzzwole are very unruly now, they will get better with time.

"Whoosh--"

As she approached the bottom, Reshiram flapped her enormous white wings to stabilize herself. During the flight, she also used her flames to repel some of the approaching Buzzwole. Although her level was far below those of the Ultra Beast, through recent training, she was no longer without the power to resist.

"Let's go to the Central Elevator!"

Qiao Ran released Mei from his arms. Mei's feet touched the ground, and she staggered slightly before finally regaining her balance.

"Are you alright?" Qiao Ran quickly asked.

"No... it's nothing."

Mei took a deep breath, patted her cheeks, and tried to cheer herself up.

She has rested long enough.

She must participate in the upcoming battles!
