He dared not let his gaze wander, afraid something frightening might appear on the ceiling or in a corner.
Swallowing, cold sweat beading on his forehead, Wang Yao opened the door to the bride's room with trembling hands.
To him, this was the only part of the house that was abnormal. If he wanted to discover anything, he had to start here.
Gardevoir followed close behind him, but her perception was severely restricted here.
When Wang Yao stepped fully into the room, he felt every sound around him vanish. Even Luo Jiujiu and Sceptile beside him disappeared without a trace.
Black mist as thick as ink surged toward him, and boundless darkness swiftly swallowed him.
Bang!
The two wooden doors slammed shut, sealing everyone and every Pokémon except Wang Yao outside!
Nobody had expected this turn of events. Even Sceptile, who had been right behind Wang Yao, failed to react in time.
"Cha!"
Seeing his master shut inside, Sceptile erupted at once. Twin blades sprang from the backs of his hands, and he slashed the wooden doors twice in succession.
The wooden doors did not shatter as expected. Sceptile's attacks had no effect whatsoever.
"Let me!"
At that moment, Luo Jiujiu's entire bearing changed, as though she were a sharp sword drawn from its sheath!
Honedge's blade was drawn, and the radiance of Sacred Sword illuminated the incredibly dim living room!
"Break!"
Luo Jiujiu gave a low shout, and the sword energy formed by Sacred Sword struck the dilapidated wooden doors with a boom.
"How is this possible?!"
Looking at the utterly unmoved wooden doors, Luo Jiujiu could not calm herself for a long time.
"Garde..."
Gardevoir's eyes shone, and her blue hair stirred without wind.
When she pressed her hand against the wooden doors, rings of ripples actually appeared.
