Chapter 385 Both sides take action, the Vulcan Moth!
There was no bright light as imagined, it was still pitch black.
"Master Luo, didn't you say there was a way?"
Xiaoyun looked at Rotom with suspicion.
I'm afraid this is not a rollover.
However, Rotom remained confident: "Please be quiet, Trainer, and don't question Rotom."
"follow me!"
Then, Rotom turned on the flashlight and confidently led the way.
After half an hour.
Under the guidance of Master Luo, the two finally arrived at...a castle.
Yes, the castle.
It is hard to imagine that such a building can be seen underground. It would be more appropriate to call it a ruins.
The ruins look weathered and ancient, with mottled earth-yellow brick and stone textures and thick dust that seem to carry countless stories from the past.
On the stone platform outside the ruins, there stand two Dharma-modeled Dharma baboons.
They sit there quietly, like loyal guards guarding this mysterious place.
But what Xiaoyun didn't know was that while he was exploring the ruins below, the scenery above him was different.
At this time, above the castle!
Several helicopters with the letter R on them landed one after another.
Afterwards, a group of neatly dressed combat troops in black uniforms lined up in a row, with three figures, two tall and one short, standing in the front.
The uniform movements reveal the temperament of a regular army everywhere.
It is the Rocket Team, the leader that swept across Kanto and Chengdu areas!
After all members were ready, one of the three men at the front spoke.
"How are the late night plans going?"
A member of Team Rocket replied, "Reporting to Lord Kojiro, the artificial sandstorm has been set off, the location of the underground castle has been found, the plan is going smoothly, and we have ensured that there will be no interference from outsiders. We can start the operation at any time!"
"very good."
Hearing this, Kojiro, who was also wearing a black uniform and had transformed into the elite of Team Rocket, nodded with satisfaction.
The two people next to him are the equally elite Musashi and Meowth.
Yes, the leader of the Rockets team this time is none other than the lucky charm who can do everything and always be the best at catching people.
Looking back a few months ago, the three of them responded to Banmu's call and came to Hezhong. Relying on the super high skills accumulated from catching Xiaopi, they successfully trained to become elite members of Team Rocket.
And this time, for the meteorite project, the trio specially created an artificial sandstorm machine to confuse the alliance, making the alliance think that the environmental abnormalities were caused by sandstorms.
As expected, the plan went very smoothly.
The Alliance really thought so and considerately closed the road so that they could search for the underground castle without any worries.
Banmu was overjoyed and announced on the spot that the three people would be promoted and given salary increases, and even announced that the three people would be the commander-in-chief of this plan.
Just like that, the three-person team that originally had difficulty even maintaining funds for activities made a stunning turnaround in an instant.
Now, they have become vanguard captains capable of commanding dozens of Team Rocket members.
This huge change in status and identity made the three of them feel a little elated for a while.
When the three of them felt the respectful gazes from the many teammates below, they felt so happy that they couldn't describe it in words!
What a great feeling!
As if to maintain their dignity, the three of them made direct eye contact.
Musashi: Hey, meow meow, Kojiro, what should I do next? I'm a little panicked!
Kojiro: I don’t know. It’s still early now, so why don’t I ask them to help me collect the bottle caps.
Meow Meow: Meow! You two should be serious. Why are you collecting those broken bottle caps? We are the captains now. We should have the dignity of the captain, you bastards!
Kojiro: Oh, then just announce the action! The sooner we finish, the sooner we can call it a day!
Meow Meow: That’s better, Musashi, then you announce it!
Musashi: Hey, why me?
Kojiro, meow: Because you are the most beautiful (and have the highest fighting power)!!
Musashi: Hate it~, I'm embarrassed~
Then, Musashi cleared his throat, put on a serious look, and said solemnly:
"Ahem, since the plan is going well, then without further ado, I declare that the action will begin immediately!"
Musashi's voice was steady and powerful, revealing a feeling that he could duel Pokémon with his bare hands.
After hearing Musashi's order, the team members below responded respectfully in unison: "Yes, sir."
Kojiro standing by might have felt that his momentum was not enough, so he raised his voice and shouted again.
"Everything for Boss Banmu!"
This time, the response to Kojiro was no longer just a few 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 at that moment, many members of Team Rocket began to take action.
The other side of the sandstorm.
A high-tech warship broke through the clouds and was about to reach the underground castle.
Inside the battleship, two figures, one male and one female, sat firmly on a high platform.
Below are dozens of Hunter crew members operating this large warship.
At this time, one of the members suddenly reported: "Master L, due to the influence of the extremely severe sandstorm, we can't locate the castle for a while. What should we do next?"
"MD, what's going on with this damn sandstorm? Kuiqisi didn't say this place would be so hard to find!"
The person who spoke sounded a little annoyed, and Xiaoyun would have noticed it if she were here.
This person was none other than Hunter L, who had previously failed to capture Zeraora.
After escaping from the alliance, he made a comeback relying on the strength he accumulated in Hoenn and successfully accepted the commission of Team Plasma in the Hunter League.
Mission requirements: Find the underground castle and take out the meteorite with mysterious energy.
Of course, this is only part of it. After searching for information about the underground castle, Hunter L discovered another business opportunity.
That is, there may still be Vulcan moths with a lifespan of thousands of years in the castle.
The Vulcan Moth is as rare as a quasi-god in Unova, and has a lifespan of a thousand years.
hiss!
What is this called, doing one job and getting two paychecks.
I made a lot of money from this order!
So, Hunter L mobilized all his assets and rushed straight to the underground castle.
However, because of the sandstorm machine created by the Three Lucky Treasures, Hunter L's battleship took a spin in the sandstorm before reaching the castle.
If his battleship hadn't been strong enough, it would have been destroyed 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.
"There was no plan at all. He just rushed over without any clue. He was just a complete reckless man."
When Hunter L heard this, he turned his head to look at the woman next to him in a black tight leather jacket, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and replied in a teasing tone.
"Hey, look who this is! It turns out to be our organization's once famous ace hunter, Master J!"
The stern-looking woman at this moment is none other than Xiaoyun's old friend (experience pack)
He is also the hunter who has dealt with Xiaoyun the most times, J!
As if angered by the hunter's words, Hunter J suddenly turned his gaze towards Hunter L, with a murderous look in his eyes.
"If you can't speak, shut your mouth or I'll sew it up for you!"
"cut......."
Seeing this, Hunter L, who wanted to continue talking back, immediately backed down.
What's so great about it? Otherwise, there would be too many tasks this time and he really couldn't find a capable hunter.
The only hunter on the same level as him in the organization is Hunter J.
There is only Hunter K from the Kalos area, but that guy has his own mission and has no time at all.
I can't just look for Lord A.
So after looking around, Hunter J is the only option.
This woman will do anything as long as she gets the money!
"Note: Hunter Alliance classification, leader and head of the Unova Hunter A"
"Three high-ranking hunters, Hunter K in charge of Kalos, Hunter L in charge of Hoenn, and Hunter J in charge of Sinnoh."
"The Hunter Alliance is a gray area, and people within the alliance have to trade with the Hunter Alliance, so they have never been able to be wiped out."
Of course, the above is pure fabrication by Alpaca.
Inside the battleship, the atmosphere was extremely awkward. Although Hunter L didn't say anything, he still provoked J with his eyes.
I mean, what can you do!
"childish."
Hunter J didn't want to pay any attention to this guy and turned around and walked towards the operating table.
She skillfully input various codes on the console quickly. The series of smooth movements dazzled Hunter L and his men.
The expressions on their faces were like those of stupid teammates being led by a great player.
I was still defending the tower, but the jungler had already started attacking the crystal.
Not long after, as the last command was input, Hunter J stopped what he was doing.
At this time, detailed location information has been displayed on the screen of the entire operating console.
"As expected of the headquarters' ace hunter, you were able to find the exact location in such a short time. You're really amazing."
"That's right, this is what we call professionalism!"
Hearing his men's exclamations, Hunter L immediately came to his senses, gave them a cold look, and his men shut up one after another.
Damn, this woman has done it.
Then, Hunter J stood up, looked at his men expressionlessly, and gave orders in an unquestionable tone.
"Everyone, pay attention! Immediately cross the sandstorm area ahead and head towards the six o'clock direction!"
"Yes, sir!" the hunters responded in unison.
Looking at his subordinates who were in uniform, the hunter L next to him felt as if ten thousand alpacas were trampling through his heart.
"Why did you guys agree to this so neatly? You guys are my subordinates!"
----------------
Below, inside the castle.
Xiaoyun below naturally had no idea about the actions of the two groups of people above his head.
Since he and Hikaru were exploring the castle, they were just playing an escape room game.
"Wow! This really is a castle! It looks so impressive, but a little run-down!"
"It's dilapidated, but it's estimated that no one has been here for hundreds of years. It's not easy for it to be preserved to this extent."
The place where the two were walking was a closed environment, but there was a faint glow on the surrounding walls, which could be seen clearly even without Rotom lighting.
After exploring, the two came to a huge room with a large area.
It's called a room, but it looks more like a sacrificial square.
There are yellow-brown cubic rocks standing on the edge, and some unknown text symbols are engraved on the rock walls on both sides.
The one in the center looks like an altar, and on the rock wall behind the altar, there is a mural engraved.
Above is an abstract painting of a group of humans kneeling below.
Above these humans, there is a huge sun floating in the sky.
But upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a Pokémon.
The insect with six wings seems to be radiating light all over its body, just like the sun.
Xiaoyun said slowly: "This is the Vulcan Moth."
Vulcanoth, the ace Pokémon of the current champion Adek.
It is obviously just a Pokémon with a race value of 550, but in the hearts of the people of Unova, even the quasi-god three-headed Tyrannosaurus cannot be compared with it, and its status is no less than that of a legendary beast.
At this time, Rotom also finished the test: "Ding."
"Vulcanoth, the Sun Pokémon"
"Attribute: Fire + Insect"
"Introduction: Legend has it that it was born from a cocoon burning with flames. It will 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 very impressive. This must be the remains of the people who worship the Vulcan Moth."
Although it was amazing, Xiaoguang could only exclaim in amazement.
Because ruins are ruins.
There can't really be Vulcan moths.
"Wu!!"
Suddenly, a sharp and piercing hissing sound came without warning.
The two men covered their ears reflexively, but even so, the sharp sound still penetrated like a tide that made their heads buzz.
"what is this!"
Immediately afterwards, an extremely dazzling light burst out from the center of the altar.
The strong light caused the two men to squint their eyes subconsciously, and they could only barely see the outline of the center of the light.
Suddenly, a terrifying heat wave like an overwhelming tidal wave rushed towards the two of them.
It wasn't until Suicune stood in front of the two of them and the cold aura counteracted it that the burning feeling gradually eased.
When the light dimmed slightly, they could finally see clearly what was in front of them.
It was a large moth Pokémon with blue eyes and a pair of red antennae that wrapped around its cheeks like ribbons.
The body is full and powerful, with a circle of snow-white fur around the neck.
The orange-red wings on the back are particularly eye-catching, and the flame phosphorus powder scattered from time to time.
Under the sunlight, it looks like the scorching sun at noon, exuding a scorching breath.
The incarnation of the sun, the Vulcan moth!
"Wu!"
Vulcan Moth's eyes were full of hostility as it looked unkindly at Suicune, Xiaoyun and others in front of it.
"Well!"
As the saying goes, fire and water are incompatible. Suicune also has no good feelings towards this Vulcan Moth. He stares at it with a wary look on his face, ready to fight at any time.
"This power, this energy fluctuation that Dr. Yew mentioned, couldn't it be this Vulcan Moth."
Xiaoguang looked at the Vulcan Moth with some surprise.
"It shouldn't be. Maybe this Vulcan Moth is guarding something."
Xiaoyun frowned, his eyes fixed on the Vulcan Moth.
Is it the Vulcan Moth that has survived for a thousand years? What level of strength can it reach?
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly tense.
