There will be another update later. Wo Wo is at home. An extra update sponsored by Wu Qing Zang Yue~~
Qing Wu looked at Lan Ling, who had turned into an ice sculpture, and said to her, "May your next life be free of all sin."
Qing Wu drew a cross on his hand and observed a few minutes of silence.
Blastoise saw Qing Wu's silence and tugged at his sleeve.
"Blastoise, I'm fine. I'm just feeling a little emotional." Qing Wu let out a long sigh as he recalled how the glorious Ice-type Elite Four of his previous life had fallen by his own hand.
"Let's go. We're heading to Darkness Plateau. Lucario, you should know where the plateau is, right?" Qing Wu asked Lucario.
"Darkness Plateau is to the southwest of the island. You have to cross a very long canyon to reach it."
"Darkness Canyon is inhabited by Murkrow, Corviknight, and Vulture Nana. Once a flying Bird Pokémon enters the canyon, it'll be attacked by tens of thousands of Murkrow."
"The path through the canyon is extremely difficult to traverse. In some places, it's only about ten centimeters wide, barely half the size of a foot."
"The canyon is surrounded by steep cliffs, and these Murkrow feed on Pokémon that fall to their deaths from the cliffs," Lucario explained.
"What if I have Ralts use Psychic Power to carry me across the canyon?" Qing Wu suggested.
"Someone thought of that solution long ago. Do you know why it's called Darkness Plateau? Because it's filled with Dark-type energy. The canyon has been contaminated by that energy, so the Psychic Power of Psychic Pokémon is easily disrupted," Lucario said, rolling his eyes.
"Why do so many Pokémon still head toward Darkness Plateau even though they know it's so dangerous?"
