There was no bright light as expected, it was still pitch black.
"Master Luo, didn't you say there is a way?"
Xiaoyun looked at Rotom with suspicion.
I'm afraid this isn't an overturn.
However, Rotom is still confident. "Trainer, please be quiet and don't question Rotom."
"Follow me!"
Then, Rotom turned on the flashlight and led everyone confidently.
Half an hour later.
Under the leadership of Master Luo, the two finally arrived... a castle.
That's right, it's a castle.
It is hard to imagine that such a building can be seen on such underground ground. It should be more appropriately said to be a ruin.
The appearance of the ruins is ancient and rustic, with mottled textures of earth-yellow bricks and stones, and thick dust that seems to carry countless past stories.
On the stone platform outside the ruins, there are two Zen Mode and Darmanitan.
They sat there quietly, like loyal guards guarding this mysterious place.
But what Xiaoyun didn't know was that while he was exploring the ruins below, there was a different scenery above him.
At this time, over the castle!
Several helicopters bearing the letter R descended one after another.
Then, a group of neatly dressed combat troops in black uniforms lined up, with three figures, two tall and one low, standing at the front.
The uniform movements reveal the temperament of a regular army.
It is the leader who swept Kanto and Johto Region - Team Rocket!
After all the members were ready, one of the three figures at the front, a man, spoke.
"How are the plans for tonight going?"
A Team Rocket member replied, "Back to Master James, the artificial Sandstorm has been set off, the location of the underground castle has been found, the plan is going smoothly, and there will be no interference from outsiders. Action can start at any time!"
"Very good."
Hearing this, James, who was also wearing a black uniform and had transformed into an elite Team Rocket, nodded with satisfaction.
The two next to him are the equally elite Jessie and Meowth.
Yes, the leader of Team Rocket this time is the auspicious three treasures who can do anything and get away with it.
Recall that a few months ago, the three of them responded to Giovanni's call and came to Unova. Relying on the ultra-high technology accumulated by Pika, they successfully trained to become elite members of Team Rocket.
And this time for the meteorite project, the trio specially built an artificial Sandstorm machine to confuse Pokémon League, making Pokémon League think that the abnormal environment was caused by Sandstorm.
Not surprisingly, the plan went very smoothly.
Pokémon League really thought so, and thoughtfully sealed the road so that they could search for the underground castle without any worries.
Giovanni was overjoyed and announced on the spot that these three people would receive promotions and salary increases, and even announced that they would be the commander-in-chief of this plan.
In this way, the original three-person team, which was struggling to even finance their activities, suddenly turned around.
Now, they have become vanguard captains capable of commanding dozens of Team Rocket members.
This huge change in status made the three of them feel a little elated for a while.
When the three of them felt the respectful gazes from many team members below, their hearts could not be described in words. They were so happy that they flew away!
What a great feeling!
As if to maintain their dignity, the three of them directly made eye contact.
Jessie: Hey, Meowth, James, what should I do next? I'm a little panicked!
James: I don't know. I think it's still early. How about I ask them to help me collect bottle caps?
Meowth: Meow! You two should be more serious. Why don't you collect broken bottle caps? We are captains now, and we must have the dignity of captains, you bastards!
James: Oh, then just announce the action! End the work early!
Meowth: That's pretty much it. Jessie Then announce it!
Jessie: Hey, why me.
James, Meowth: Because you are the most beautiful (with the highest combat power)!!
Jessie: I hate it~, I'm so embarrassed~
Then, Jessie cleared his throat, put on a serious look, and said solemnly:
"Ahem, since the plan goes well, then without further delay, I announce that the action will begin immediately!"
Jessie's voice is calm and powerful, revealing the feeling of being able to duel Pokémon with bare hands.
After hearing Jessie's order, the team members below responded respectfully in unison, "Yes, sir."
James on the side may have felt that the momentum was not enough, so he raised his voice and shouted.
"All for Giovanni!"
This time, the response to James was no longer just scattered echoes, but all the team members shouted in unison:
"Hi!"
The deafening shouts resounded through the sky, as if they could break through the sky.
And the moment many Team Rocket members started taking action.
The other end of Sandstorm.
A high-tech warship cuts through the clouds and is about to arrive at the underground castle.
Inside the battleship, two figures, one man and one woman, were sitting firmly on the high platform.
Below are dozens of Hunter personnel operating this large battleship.
At this time, one of the members suddenly reported, "Sir L, due to the influence of the extra large Sandstorm, we will not be able to Lock-On the location of the castle for a while. What should we do next?"
"MD, what the hell is going on with Sandstorm? Ghetsis didn't say that this place is so hard to find!"
The speaker's tone was slightly irritable, as you would have noticed if Xiaoyun were here.
This person is none other than Hunter L, who previously failed to capture Zeraora.
After jailbreaking from Pokémon League, he relied on the strength accumulated in Hoenn to make a comeback, and successfully accepted the commission of Team Plasma in Hunter League.
Mission requirements: Find the underground castle and take out the meteorite with mysterious energy inside.
Of course, this is only part of it. Hunter L found another business opportunity after searching for information about the underground castle.
That is, there may still be Volcarona in the castle, which has a lifespan of a thousand years.
Volcarona, Unova is as rare as Pseudo-Legendary, plus it has a thousand-year lifespan.
Hiss!
What is this called? Do one job and get paid for two jobs.
This one is a huge profit!
So, Hunter L used all his wealth and immediately went straight to the underground castle.
However, due to the Sandstorm machine built by Jixiang Sanbao, the battleship of Hunter L has not yet arrived at the castle, and first slipped around in the Sandstorm.
If his battleship hadn't been tough enough, he would have sent it halfway.
At this moment, the woman who had been standing silently next to Hunter L suddenly spoke, with a hint of disdain in her voice.
"He didn't have any plan at all. He just rushed here without any clue. He was a complete fool."
Hunter L After hearing this, he turned his head to look at the woman wearing a tight black leather jacket next to him, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and replied in a teasing tone.
"Hey, look who this is, isn't this our organization's once famous ace hunter, Lord J?"
The woman with a stern face at this moment is none other than Xiaoyun's old friend (experience package)
He is also the hunter who has dealt with Xiaoyun the most times, J!
As if being irritated by the hunter's words, Hunter J suddenly turned his gaze to Hunter L, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
"You guy, if you can't speak, just shut your mouth, or I'll sew it up for you!"
"Cut..."
Seeing this, Hunter L, who wanted to continue talking back, was instantly discouraged.
What's so great, otherwise this mission would be too much, and he really wouldn't be able to find a capable hunter.
Except for Hunter J, the other hunters on the same level as him in the organization are.
There is only Hunter K from Kalos Region, but that guy has other tasks of his own and has no time at all.
You can't go to Mr. A.
So after taking a look around, I could only choose Hunter J.
As long as the money is in place, this woman will do anything!
"Note: Hunter League is classified, the leader and person in charge of Unova is Hunter A"
"Three senior hunters, Kalos is in charge Hunter K, Hoenn is in charge Hunter L, Sinnoh is in charge Hunter J"
"Hunter League belongs to the gray area. Pokémon League insiders also inevitably trade with Hunter League, so they have been unable to be eradicated."
Of course, the above is purely made up by Arceus.
Inside the battleship, the atmosphere was extremely awkward. Although Hunter L didn't speak, he still looked at J with his eyes Taunt.
I mean, what can you do!
"Childish."
Hunter J didn't want to pay attention to this guy, turned around and walked towards the console.
I saw her skillfully inputting various codes quickly on the console, a series of smooth movements, which dazzled Hunter L and his subordinates.
The expressions on each one of them were like pig teammates being led away by a master.
While he was still defending the tower, the jungler began to attack the crystal.
Not long after, as the input of the last command was completed, Hunter J stopped what he was doing.
At this time, detailed location information was displayed on the entire console screen.
"He is indeed the ace hunter at the headquarters. It's amazing how he found the specific location in such a short time."
"That's right, this is called professionalism!"
Hearing the exclamations of his men, Hunter L immediately woke up from his dazed state and gave him a cold look, causing his men to shut up.
Damn, I got it for this woman.
Then, Hunter J stood up, looked at his subordinates expressionlessly, and issued orders in an unquestionable tone.
"Attention everyone, immediately pass through the Sandstorm area ahead, and then move towards the six o'clock direction!"
"Yes, sir!" All the hunters responded in unison.
Looking at the uniform subordinates, Hunter L next to him felt as if ten thousand Arceus had stepped on them.
"Why did you promise to be so tidy? What you are special about are my subordinates!"
Below, inside the castle.
Naturally, Xiaoyun below is unclear about the movements of the two men and horses above his head.
Because he and Dawn were exploring the castle, it was like playing an escape room.
"Wow! This is really a castle! It looks great, but it's a bit rundown!"
"It's broken when you see it. It's estimated that no one has come here for at least a few hundred years. It's not easy for it to be preserved to this extent."
The location where the two of them were walking was in a closed environment, but there was a faint light in the surrounding walls, which could be seen clearly even without Rotom lighting.
After exploring, the two came to a huge room with a wide area.
It is said to be a room, but it is more like a sacrificial square.
There are yellow-brown cubic rocks standing on the edge, and some unexplained symbols are carved on the rock walls on both sides.
The centermost one is like an altar, and on the rock wall behind the altar, there is a mural carved on it.
Above is an abstract painting of a group of humans kneeling below.
Above these humans, there is a big sun floating in the sky.
But upon closer inspection, I discovered that it was a Pokémon.
The insect with six wings seems to be radiating light, like the sun.
Xiaoyun said slowly, "This is, Volcarona."
Volcarona, the contemporary champion Alder's ace Pokémon.
It is obviously just Pokémon with a race value of 550, but in the hearts of Unova people, Pseudo-Legendary Hydreigon cannot be compared with it, and its status is no less than that of the mythical beast.
At this time, Rotom also completed the detection. "Didi."
"Volcarona, Sun Pokémon"
"Attribute: Fire + Insect"
"Introduction: Legend has it that it was born from a cocoon burning with flames. It was said to appear in the cold winter to rescue those suffering from the cold. It was called the God of Fire and the incarnation of the sun by the ancients."
"The incarnation of the sun sounds so powerful, then this is the ruins of Volcarona."
It was said to be amazing, but Dawn just marveled.
Because relics are relics.
There can't really be Volcarona.
"Wu!!"
Suddenly, a sharp and harsh hissing sound came without warning.
The two of them blocked their ears as a reflex, but even so, the sharp sound still penetrated like a pervasive tide, making their heads buzz.
"What the hell!"
Immediately afterwards, an extremely dazzling light burst out from the center of the altar.
The strong light caused the two of them to squint their eyes subconsciously, and they could only barely see the outline of the center of the light.
Suddenly, an overwhelming and terrifying wave of Heat Wave rushed towards the two of them.
It wasn't until Suicune stood in front of the two of them, with the cold breath competing against them, that the burning feeling gradually eased.
When the light faded slightly, they finally saw clearly what was in front of them.
It was a large moth Pokémon, with blue eyes and a pair of red antennae like ribbons surrounding its cheeks.
The body is plump and powerful, and the neck is surrounded by a circle of down as white as snow.
The orange-red wings like petals on the back are particularly eye-catching, and the flames scattered from time to time Compound Eyes,
Under the sunlight, it looks like the scorching sun at noon, exuding a fiery breath.
The incarnation of the sun, Volcarona!
"Wu!"
Volcarona's eyes were full of hostility, and he looked at Suicune and Xiaoyun in front of him unkindly.
"Ugh!"
It is said that water and fire are incompatible, and Suicune also has no favorable impressions of this Volcarona. He stares at the opponent with a wary look on his face, always ready to fight.
"This power, the energy fluctuation Professor Juniper is talking about, can't be this Volcarona."
Dawn looked at this Volcarona in surprise.
"Probably not. Maybe this Volcarona is guarding something."
Xiaoyun frowned and locked eyes with Volcarona.
Volcarona, which has survived for thousands of years? What level will its strength reach?
At this time, the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly anxious.
