Due to her unfamiliarity with the Pokémon in the Alola region, Athena could only tell that it was a puppet-like Pokémon, and through its strange facial features and shadow claw skills, it could basically be judged that it was a ghost-type Pokémon, and its various abilities were completely unclear.

"Trainers only have the strength of the hall master, no matter what Pokémon it is, they can't break through the upper limit of the trainer's strength after all."

Thinking of this, Athena's heart calmed down slightly, although her remaining three Pokémon had all consumed a lot of physical strength in the previous battle, the strength suppression of the Heavenly King level against the Pavilion Master level still existed, and there was no need to be afraid of anything at all.

The Dark Raven's surprise attack is a last-to-come, first-served skill, and Athena had planned to use it to interrupt the opponent's Shadow Claw.

When Dark Raven also successfully hits the puzzle Q, the effect she expected does not appear.

Although the puppet in front of him appeared to be injured, and his entire head drooped limply, Shadowclaw's attack landed on the Dark Raven unaffected.

The Dark Raven let out a scream of "Wow" and was knocked to the ground incapacitated, black feathers scattered everywhere in the cave, and Luo took two more steps with the puzzle Q on his shoulder.

Seeing that the length of the Shadow Claw was about to attack her, Athena kept retreating, and she wondered why the Dark Raven's surprise attack seemed to be completely useless. And why did the other party defeat the Dark Raven with just one attack? In her expectation, even if Enigma Q's attack is slightly stronger than Kirbymon's, it is still within a level, and the Dark Raven can fully withstand two or three attacks, and then Aba Monster and Overlord Flower can take over the battlefield.

However, the situation in front of him has not taken any turn, and the Ah Bai monster will definitely not be faster than Luo walking from the ground, and the distance of the overlord flower is too far, and the Poke Ball in his hand is empty.

Athena sat on the ground in despair, muttering "You can't kill me" in her mouth, and saw only a dark ghost hand approaching her.

"That's enough, stop it."

As the Shadow Claws were about to touch the top of Athena's head, the rock wall on the side of the passage collapsed, revealing the Diamondhorn Rhinoceros that should have been dealt with by the Overlord Flower. A stone flew out quickly, opening up the Mystery Q's killer blow, and the Shadow Claw grazed Athena's ear, slicing through several strands of bright red hair.

"Your purpose has been achieved, and I hope you will keep your word."

Behind the horned rhinoceros, Apollo's voice was heard.

"Go out from the north." This was followed by Qinglu's response, "Luo, I'll explain to you about Sister Sakura later, let them go first." ”

After Teal's intervention, the Abba monster had already emerged from the ground, and the overlord flower was also standing behind Athena. Knowing that he would not be able to succeed no matter what, Luo reluctantly turned around and squatted beside Sakura.

"You'd better go back and burn incense and pray that the cherry blossoms will be okay."

Although Lowe's voice was no longer as full of hatred as it was just now, Athena could hear that if the girl lying on the ground had any strengths and weaknesses, she would really be killed and buried. It can even be said that if it weren't for the timely appearance of Green and Apollo, he would have died.

Apollo picked up Athena, who was slumped on the ground, put away her Pokémon, and walked behind Lo towards the north exit.

Looking at Luo who was squatting on the ground, Qinglu took out a Poke Ball.

"Your King Nido."

Lo took the Poké Ball, put away the other Pokémon as well, picked up the cherry blossoms and walked in the opposite direction to Apollo.

The Iwayama Tunnel wasn't long, nor was it as intricate as it was in the Tsukimi Cave, and they quickly reached the southern exit.

Along the way, Luo didn't ask anything, but continued to exude the aura of being unapproachable, and Qinglu didn't want to touch this mold, so he followed from a distance.

Walking out of the rocky mountain tunnel, the exit on the south side looked similar to the one on the north side, and more than twenty elite trainers of the alliance were guarding the exit.

The person at the head of the south side is one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Xiba, a sturdy man with a naked upper body, wearing a white practice uniform on the lower body, and his eyes are resolute, looking like a standard tough guy image.

The cadres of Team Rocket hidden here in the intelligence are a man and a woman. Seeing Luo walking from the tunnel with Sakura in his arms, he immediately called out his Flying Leg Lang and Kuaifist Lang.

"Wait, my own people."

Qinglu hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "This is Luo, the current owner of the Hualan Dao Pavilion, and that girl is the daughter of Mr. Dezong. ”

Luo didn't care how Qinglu explained what happened in the rock mountain tunnel just now, and walked directly to Ziyuan Town not far away with cherry blossoms.

When Sakura wakes up, she finds herself lying in bed, the room is pitch black, and the air is filled with the smell of disinfectant water, which should be a hospital.

"Luo, are you there?"

I don't know how long I've been lying down, and my hands and feet don't listen to the call for a while, Sakura is a little flustered, as if she is afraid that she will be alone in this dark room.

Fortunately, the next moment she felt the warmth from her hands, which spread all the way to her heart, soothing the panic in her heart.

"I'm here."

The voice in her ears was a little hoarse, but she could tell that it was the person she was thinking about.

"Can you turn on the light, I'm a little scared."

As soon as she finished saying this, Sakura suddenly thought to herself, how long has it been since she said such weak words? It seems that since his father was busy developing the gym, he no longer regarded himself as a little girl, but as an eldest sister who needed to take care of his three younger sisters.

Even she didn't know why she suddenly said such a thing.

"Wait a minute, I'll go now."

Feeling the temperature in her hand disappear suddenly, Sakura's hand, which had not obeyed the call just now, suddenly moved, and grabbed Luo, who was about to turn on the light.

"Don't go."

Her voice felt like she was about to cry.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to turn on the lights, soon."

As Luo's hand let go again, Sakura felt as if she had fallen into endless darkness alone, as if it had been a long, long time before the lights came on.

The place he was in looked like a simple room, there was a stool next to his bed, which should be where Luo had just sit, and there was a table under the window, and the whole room didn't look like a hospital ward.

Luo stood by the door and pressed the light switch, still wearing the black sweatshirt he had bought for him, and quickly sat back on the stool next to the bed.

Feeling the temperature in her hands again, Sakura was sure that what was in front of her was real. It's just that Luo in front of her doesn't look like he's the same as before, but if she wants to say something different, she can't say anything at once.

"I'm sorry." Lowe spoke.

Sakura has been in a coma for two whole days, and two days ago he came to Shion Town with the injured Sakura, because it was late at night and there were no pedestrians on the street, so he could only knock on the doors of the town's residents and ask Kikuko where she lived.

After finding Kikuko, Lo identifies himself and pulls out the beads he had seized from Lambda with unknown powers.

Half a day later, Kikuko's personal doctor treated Sakura's wound with his own hands, and assured Luo that she would definitely recover and that the wound would not leave any hidden diseases, but the scar from such a serious trauma could not be avoided.

After receiving the doctor's definite answer, Luo was slightly relieved, and for a day and a half, Luo has been spending time in constant self-blame. knew that he might be facing a king-level opponent, but just because of his greed, he wanted to find an opportunity to cultivate a relationship with her, so he brought her out. In the end, not only did she fail to protect her, but she was also injured because of the enemy she provoked, and she was really sorry for Sakura.

"Last time you saved the third sister, I accompanied you like this."

Sakura didn't say anything to Lowe, but recalled the last time Luo was injured, "I was thinking, why could you get in front of her in such a situation?" ”

She tried hard to open her eyes wide, looking at Luo's remorseful expression: "Listen to that person, this knife is to take revenge on you?" ”

"Her name is Athena, and she is a cadre of Team Rocket, and I attacked her last time in the battle to snatch the Water King." Lowe briefly explained how it happened.

"I probably guessed that this was the case, and at that time I thought, it is better to stab me in my body than to take revenge on you, probably understanding your feelings of being hurt for the third sister."

However, Luo directly refuted her words: "No, it's different, I did that just because Peony is a beautiful girl, and the motive is not as simple as you think." ”

"And what if it's me? Will you protect me as you protect her? ”

After saying this, Sakura's pale green eyes suddenly had a look, and she looked at Luo as if she was expecting something.

As if he had made up his mind, Luo held Sakura tightly with both hands and said firmly, "I promise, if you encounter danger again next time, I will not let you be hurt again even if I die." ”

The next moment, as the cherry blossoms showed a satisfied smile, as if there were really thousands of cherry blossoms blooming in an instant, competing in the small room, Luo couldn't help but look at it for a while.

It didn't take long for the door of the room to open suddenly, and Qinglu walked in lightly.

"Sister Sakura hasn't woken up yet?"

Before he finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to appear when he shouldn't have appeared, and hurriedly ran out of the room and closed the door.

"I didn't see anything."

Then there was a sound of footsteps running away.

"Shall we continue?"

Luo stared at Sakura's lips tightly and asked meaningfully.

"I'm hungry, go get me something to eat!"

Sakura's face is not as thick as Luo's, and she was hit by the green that she has been seeing as her younger brother since she was a child, so she was in the mood to continue, and hurriedly pulled up the quilt to cover her cheeks that were red with shame.
