Not long after.
Alice and her Pokémon finally finished their lunch and took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Kashiwagi stood up and said, "Let's go to the Phantom Tower and get your bag back."
"it is good!"
Alice nodded, leaving only the Axetooth that was wearing green armor to accompany her, and she put the rest into the Poké Ball.
I had checked the conditions of her Pokémon before, and most of them had minor injuries. None of them had broken bones like the Electric Flying Squirrel. Obviously, this one was unlucky.
But just getting ready to set off.
Kashiwagi looked at Alice in surprise as she walked to the back, "Where are you going?"
"Uh, isn't the Phantom Tower in that direction?"
Alice pointed.
"Of course not, you chose the exact opposite direction." He picked up the phone helplessly, "See the red dot on the screen? This is our destination."
It seems that everyone who has traveled with Xiaozhi has the attribute of being directionally challenged. So what if they are directionally challenged? They don’t even bring a map or use a mobile phone to look at the map.
Simply.
Alice scratched her head awkwardly, "This..."
"Well, hurry up, if you don't want to spend the night in the desert."
Kashiwagi took the lead and walked forward, followed closely by her and Axetooth Dragon.
-
Actually.
The two were not far from the Phantom Tower and arrived there in less than two minutes.
"I'm counting on you, Steelix."
Kashiwagi patted Steelix's body and quickly moved away from the space it was given to perform.
"Roar!"
The Steelix raised its head and roared, and as Alice looked at him in amazement, it rotated its lateral steel bones to create a terrifying sandstorm, which quickly covered the entire area in front.
In the haze, a towering phantom tower appeared.
Kashiwagi didn't rush over, but reached out to Alice, "Can you lend me your phone?"
"Huh? Ouch!"
The latter didn't hear clearly at first, and only handed over the phone after he repeated it.
Unexpectedly, after Kashiwagi got it, he threw it directly into the open mouth of Steelix.
Alice and Axetooth Dragon widened their eyes.
"After we go in and get your luggage, I'll call Steelix to open the door. This way, we don't have to worry about Steelix running out of power."
He explained in a hoarse voice.
Alice suddenly realized, "I see! Wait, do you want to go in too?"
"This kind of experience may not come once in a lifetime, it would be a shame not to go in and take a look!" Kashiwagi shouted with a smile, and ran towards the Phantom Tower first.
Alice, who had always thought he was reliable, stood there in a daze.
Then she quickly followed and couldn't help shouting:
"You're obviously an adult - but you're so childish!"
"Ouch!"
Axefang responded in agreement.
In a short while, the two were already inside the Phantom Tower.
The sunlight filtering through the cracks in the stone illuminated the surroundings—a wall in front of me connected to the ceiling, and long passages extending forward on both sides.
"Where's your luggage?"
Kashiwagi turned around and asked Alice who followed in.
“The top floor.”
"Huh? How did you leave it on the top floor?" He looked puzzled.
Alice explained: "Because when the round land shark was fighting with the Pokémon statue, it accidentally fell into the trap. When I chased it, I accidentally fell into it. Then we kept falling from the top floor to the bottom floor."
What follows is a short story in which the two want to go upstairs and find that the Pokémon statue on the top floor is chasing them, and at the same time, the door that they have been unable to find suddenly opens.
"Falling into a trap..."
Baimu looked up at the ceiling, which was a little dim due to lack of light. When he shone a flashlight on it, he could see that some places were covered with spider-web-like cracks.
But according to what Alice said before, these drop traps will automatically repair themselves over time, just like those Pokémon statues.
Suddenly.
The door behind him disappeared.
It's like it never existed.
Kashiwagi turned around and touched the thick earthen wall, and asked, "Have you ever tried to destroy the wall?"
"Yes, there are... but they can't be broken at all."
Alice sighed and shook her head, and the Axe-Tooth Dragon next to her nodded.
"Try it again now."
Kashiwagi made some room.
Alice didn't refuse when she saw this, and said directly: "Axe-tooth Dragon! Use Dragon Claw!"
"Ouch!"
The Axe-Tooth Dragon raised its claws covered in a bright green light and grabbed the earthen wall fiercely. The energy explosion caused a cloud of dust to fly.
When the dust cleared, it was suddenly visible that only small scratches were left on the wall.
Alice said, "Look, it can't be broken at all."
"..."
Kashiwagi frowned slightly, took out the Poké Ball and opened it.
boom!
White light flashes.
The big-mouthed kid fell to the ground, "Tsk tsk~"
"Big-mouthed baby? It looks so cute! The red headband is so pretty~" Alice was immediately attracted by its appearance and tried to hug it.
Unfortunately, Big Mouth Baby was very smart and stepped aside, firmly resisting this behavior.
Female celebrities cannot be hugged by strangers!
Ever since she realized how popular she is, she has abandoned the title of "lady" and called herself a "female star", but she still has a strong resistance to learning to read.
It seems that illiteracy is going to be eradicated.
Ignoring Alice's disappointed look, Kashiwagi knocked on the wall, "Help me tear it down, using Sword Dance and Iron Head."
"Qi Duo!"
Big Mouth understood, and spun on the spot to increase his physical attack. Then he suddenly swung his huge jaw behind his head, which was emitting silver light, and smashed it on the wall like a sledgehammer!
Boom!
The loud bang scared Alice and the Axe-tooth Dragon so much that they jumped back violently. The terrifying power caused the ground to shake and choking smoke and dust filled the air.
"What's going on? An earthquake?"
She nervously repeated what she said, totally unable to believe that the cute big-mouthed baby could have such destructive power.
The Axetooth Dragon also opened its mouth in surprise.
Immediately.
A gentle breeze blew away the dust in all directions, revealing the figures of Big Mouth Wa and Kashiwagi.
The latter was standing in front of a cracked wall, trying to figure things out.
I tried for a long time but couldn't get anything.
"The walls can also heal themselves..."
Kashiwagi looked at the gravel that slowly filled the cracks like a living thing, and for a moment he actually felt a little scared. Many supernatural phenomena and ancient ruins in the animation were very strange, and he had no idea what principles were causing them.
If the overall background was not a perfect pseudo-utopia, the animation world would definitely not be much more complete than the special episode.
Alice was not afraid at all, not even when she was trapped inside. She just waved to the big mouth kid in a friendly manner, "Hello~"
"嘁哚......"
Big Mouth Baby took one look at her and decided to stay away from this weird human.
Alice realized that she was being ignored and sighed regretfully again. When she heard the words "set off" and "lead the way", she only responded weakly.
"What's up with her?"
Kashiwagi asked in surprise.
Axe-Tooth Dragon and Big Mouth both shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know clearly.
The way forward.
Soon they arrived at the stairs safely. The broken steps looked difficult to walk, but they were much stronger than expected.
As Alice said, Pokémon statues and drop traps will appear on the second floor. The former is completely hidden in the wall and will suddenly appear and attack without hesitation.
Kashiwagi said, "It sounds a bit like a gargoyle."
"Gargoyle?"
"It's a fictional creature from a movie or TV show. It's not a Pokémon and it doesn't exist."
