Quartz League Player Village.

The sudden explosion sent everyone into a brief panic. Smoke billowed from at least five locations, and panicked tourists crowded in the middle of the road, nearly causing a stampede.

If the police and enforcement officers originally deployed in the athletes' village were there, they would definitely be able to control order quickly. However, due to the fact that Team Rocket had just snatched the contestants' Pokémon at noon, most of the police forces were looking for Team Rocket's traces in the Silver Mountains all night at this time, and they would not be able to rush back to the contestants' village for a while.

Large screens lit up one by one in the athletes' village, revealing the figure of a man wearing a playful thunder bomb mask. The strange sound processed by the voice changer resounded in every corner of the contestants' village.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the biggest fireworks display of the year. The man's expression hidden under the mask was obscure, and the naughty thunderbolt on the mask grinned at the camera, smiling brightly and stiffly.

The man held out five fingers, "Five minutes." Every five minutes, I light a fireworks. Half an hour later, the biggest fireworks will be set off at the quartz stadium. He exaggeratedly straightened his arms and gestured, pronouncing the onomatopoeia of "boom" like a child. But at this moment, no one would find his behavior funny, and everyone who understood the meaning of his words felt chills all over their bodies.

"Stay tuned for the Raven's fireworks festival. ”

While the Quartz League Players' Village was in shambles due to the explosive declarations released by suspected terrorists, the top 16 players in the Thousand Needlefish Islands Hotel were unaware of it.

After the projector's white light went out, the ballroom went dark. But this state only lasted for a few seconds—the first one to light up was a myriad of dark blue ghost fires. The dancing flames hovered over everyone's heads under the control of Ghost Stone, and although the color was slightly eerie, it was enough to illuminate the banquet hall and reveal the bodies of the Pokémon pouring in from all directions.

In the next second, a golden electric light also rose. The shock beast released a wave of electricity and neatly stunned the first Rada, and the other Pokémon who surrounded it took a few steps back in fear.

Xiao Tian took advantage of the light of the ghost fire in the sky to quickly look at the surrounding situation. Pokémon seem to have poured out of the inner room on the first floor, and there are quite a few of them, but fortunately, most of them are common Pokémon with mediocre combat effectiveness, such as Rada and Aber Snake. After temporarily clearing a clearing with a discharge, he immediately shouted to the others, "Go upstairs!"

Ghoststone's ghostly fire paused for a moment, and spiritually surged towards the other end of the house, the flames connecting end to end, forming a path of light that clearly pointed to the spiral staircase.

Xiao Ye, who cooperated with Xiao Tian to give a series of instructions, took a handful of golden retriever brothers and sisters and took the lead in running.

The people who were stunned because of the sudden situation came back to their senses one after another, and knew that now was not the time to be stunned, so they hurriedly ran to the stairs illuminated by the ghost fire. Of course, the Radas refused to let them go like this, and were about to pounce on them, when the beams of electric light and spiritual power intercepted them at the same time.

Xiao Tian glanced at Bai Lan, who was also standing in place, and didn't say anything, and the coverage of the electric shock quietly closed into a semicircle. The sword light of Eluredo immediately filled the gap in the other half, and the Pokémon of the two burst out with the strongest attack power in an instant, and for a while, the fire burst out, and the beam of light flew sideways, dragging all the attackers hard.

The other six who had already ascended the spiral staircase glanced at each other in the dim light, and did not rush to throw the Poké Ball in their hands.

Only the trainers who made it to the top 16 were invited to this dinner, and even the weakest of them had enough judgment. They could see that the two people below were buying time for the others to escape, and in such a crowded and blurred environment, they could accidentally injure their teammates if they made a rash move.

The ghost stone who manipulated the phosphorus fire hung above Xiao Ye's head in a fluttering manner, looking leisurely and unaware of what the tension was. Its trainer stood at the forefront, staring at the bottom of the stairs.

Seeing that everyone had all climbed to the second floor, Xiao Tian retreated while fighting, but when he turned his head, he saw that the young man in the white kimono was still standing in place, and he had no intention of retreating at all.

Xiao Ye saw Xiao Tian's footsteps from a distance, and the two seemed to talk to each other. Immediately, the colored light of the superpower suddenly spread, and the strong impact force shook all the Pokémon people on their backs, and the Aba snakes almost collided with each other to form a peace knot. Xiao Tian took the opportunity to retreat, and the shock beast was quickly replaced by Charizard, who suddenly flew to the second floor with the trainer's collar without paying attention. A blazing fireball erupted from Yan's mouth and smashed down the stairs, smashing the spiral staircase in three or two strokes, stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust.

At the same time, the sound of explosions below climbed to the top. Eluredo flew up in the light of the fire, and telekinesis lifted it out of the encirclement with its trainer and landed among the people on the second floor.

After the latter returned, the ghost fire leading the way was immediately extinguished, leaving only a few flowers to stay in the sky, dimly illuminating the surroundings. Everyone held their breath for a moment, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief when they confirmed that the noisy Pokémon below could not make it to the second floor.

After temporarily escaping the encirclement of the Pokémon and finding a safe corner on the second floor, Xiao Ling finally couldn't help but whisper, "What the hell is going on?"

"Don't you know what that guy just said? Yojin frowned, his tone was still a little impatient as usual, but his expression hidden in the dark was a little weird. Xiao Ye turned her head to look at him as if she had noticed something, and the gray-haired boy's face was blurred in the dark blue firelight, and the subtle changes in his demeanor melted into the darkness.

Hearing Yang Zhen's answer, the teenagers and girls immediately looked at each other.

People may have thought that this word was far away from them before, but after the Mihara bombing a few days ago, people were more or less worried about whether such a tragedy would happen to them next time. The pitch-black crow head is the symbol of the terrorists in the Mihara bombing, and the naughty thunder mask just now mentions the "god crow", and almost everyone associates the two together.

When someone blurted out speculation, "Could it be a continuation of the Mihara bombing", Kiritha, who had been silent before, shook his head, "That's not right." Today's incident and the Mihara bombing should not have been done by the same person. ”

After seeing his best friend Kyoji being taken away by a stun, Kiripa was really at a loss for a moment. But he was an experienced freelance trainer after all, and after carefully observing the enemy, he realized certain key problems.

"The Messenger of the Lord, let's take it first as the man with the naughty thunder mask, invited us here in order to keep us awake with food laced with sleeping pills. This suggests that he thinks that those of us in the top 16 may be in the way of his actions. Kiriba was about to continue, when he saw that the seven faces under the faint blue light were staring at his face with burning eyes, and his originally determined tone somehow cowardly, "Uh...... Well, can we change the lighting method......"

"......" Xiao Ye, the turner of the ghost fire lamp, didn't keep up with the turn of the god of Kiriha, and suddenly looked in a trance, "Hold, I'm sorry, I'll only ...... like this"

Seeing that the topic was about to deviate, Xiao Tian wordlessly reached out to interrupt the meaningless entanglement, and asked Yan to use the flame at the tip of the tail to replace the ghost fire with its own terrifying effect, and continued what he had just said, "The criminals of the Sanyuan bombing can confront the investigators head-on, if it were them, they wouldn't have to deal with us non-professional trainers at all." ”

"That's right. The dark green long-haired teenager nodded in agreement, and his thoughts finally returned to the right track, "Although the number of Pokémon that surrounded us just now is large, their strength is not strong, I think they just want to trap us temporarily." "And Kusama Jingzhi has a noble background, and presumably the villains who kidnapped him will not ask for trouble and hurt his life.

"The previous explosion was very close to us, and their blasting targets should have been other buildings in the player's village. It is only at this time that Xiao Tian will change his reticent style, "Presumably the police will immediately subdue the rioters - if they don't choose to do it today." ”

After the two of them came to their conclusions one by one, everyone fell into a brief silence. Even if someone really doesn't listen to foreign affairs and hasn't heard of anything good that Team Rocket did at noon, they already know it after Kyoji's popular science when they enter the door. Since Team Rocket fled to the Silver Mountains with the player's Pokémon, almost all the police force was looking for Team Rocket and the two trainers who were chasing them in the mountains, and there were very few people left in the player's village. And the player village is very far away from Mihara City, and by the time the members of the four major departments in the city are transferred, I am afraid it will be too late.

The young man in a white kimono patted the dust off the placket and was the first to say, "I'm going to break through." ”

The others didn't hesitate too much, nodding their heads and uniting the line - no trainer could afford to just sit there and wait for help at such a time.

Once the consensus was reached, the crowd immediately began to look for a way to break out of the hotel. The banquet hall on the first floor is already full of enemy Pokémon, which is not suitable for going down to fight, not to mention that all the doors and windows have been sealed with iron plates. If you want to get out, I'm afraid you'll have to find a way from the upper floor.

Bai Lan motioned for Eloredo to use teleportation, and sure enough, the move failed - as early as when the waveguide detection failed, Xiao Ye found that the hotel was set up with energy wave interference that was often turned on in important buildings, and it was difficult for either teleportation or various energy detection moves to work. This feeling of detection failure was familiar, and Xiao Ye had been accustomed to it at the Alliance National Library for a long time.

Without saying a word, Yojin released a Pokémon to bombard the wall indiscriminately, and then was dumbfounded at the familiar white light flowing enchantment.

"Automatic defense device?" "They're really not afraid to blow up the power system in the player's village." ”

Automatic defense devices are generally used to protect spectator seats during games, and they consume a lot of power, but the defense performance is very reliable, and it is difficult to be defeated when the power is sufficient. Yojin didn't have any interest in fighting the power supply of the entire athlete village, so he had to stop the violent bombardment.

Since forcibly penetrating the wall didn't work, Yoshin simply released all six of his ghost-based Pokémon and sent them to stealth to find a way around. However, everyone did not fully hope for this, and continued to walk around the second floor of the hotel, looking for a breakthrough.

The people who arranged this malicious dinner party obviously wanted to drag them here for a long time, and there were still a lot of Pokémon lurking on the second floor, and as soon as they entered the corridor, a large group of supersonic bats pounced on them under the cover of darkness.

This time, though, they didn't have a chance to surround them again. Almost at the same time as the door was pushed open and the sound of wings flapping, Kiritha quickly threw out two Poké Balls. The two Pokémon that appeared did not need his order, and they skillfully displayed the most suitable moves, Ba Da Butterfly spread hypnotic powder all over the sky, and the tropical dragon rolled up the wind, and when the storm with the shining light points passed, the Pokémon in the entire corridor were lying on the ground neatly, and the good red carpet suddenly turned into a bat carpet, and the visual effect was extremely shocking.

Everyone was silent, looking at the innocent and harmless face of the dark green long-haired young man, and they could only secretly rejoice that there was no doubles match in the Quartz League—otherwise, it would be really difficult to survive this kind of AOE hypnosis that has no time to charge at any time.

After a quick exploration of the second floor of the hotel, Yangzhen's six ghost-type Pokémon also returned in time and reported the same results to their owners.

Although this group of unidentified bombers is not as powerful as the initiators of the Mihara bombing, they really did not go wrong on the most basic issues. The entire hotel was sealed off by falling iron plates and ubiquitous automatic defenses, and there was no place to get out.

Just as everyone was in trouble, a hand was carefully raised.

Saki Akita, the seventh seed who was stared at by seven people at the same time, had never spoken, and had no sense of presence, calmed down a little crampedly, opened the laptop he had been holding in his arms, and turned the screen to the opposite side.

"That...... I know a way out that I might be able to get out. The girl whispered.

====================

Small Theatre:

Ghost Stone: Ghost Fire is obviously the most beautiful fire in the world, why do you humans dislike it?

Kiritha: (shuddering) Please let it go, we don't need more horror movie vibes......
