The sound of messy and panicked footsteps in the cavern and the sound of sturdy, thick leather boots were getting closer, and Merlin began to prepare for battle and defense.

He arranged for the Cutty Dog, Hudi, Gotha Duck and the two guides, "The praying mantis retreated one after another, don't attack until you have to, and listen to my commands. Regardless of whether the guides were willing to obey his orders or not, he first commanded the praying mantises on his own initiative.

Contrary to Merlin's expectations, the two guides obeyed Merlin's orders very much, and silently flew to the rear of the safer group, without any refutation or dissatisfaction.

[Legion is ready to roar and be ready to use his tricks.] Merlin continued to instruct, "Darker prepares the petrification work, and Vizir prepares the illusion wave. Once you are sure that it is an enemy attack, do not leave your hands alone. 】

After Mr. Zang's special training, Merlin has become very proficient in the skills of using electrocardiogram to command battles, and has gradually fully integrated into the identity of an capable person.

The cutty dog stepped back slightly, grinning at the red cave in a defensive posture. Hudi and Gotha Duck stepped forward and leaped over Merlin about half a distance, each brewing their own tricks.

Footsteps are getting closer.

The more leading is the sound of panicked footsteps, judging by the sound, it should be the sound of Pokémon, because the footsteps are completely ** directly stepped on the ground. And the slightly behind is obviously from the human footsteps, this should be the footsteps of leather boots, very calm and full of power, and the interval of the steps is exactly the same, listening to the ears there is a faint sense of oppression.

[It should be a master.] Merlin touched his upper lip as he began to gather his strength. Unable to judge whether the comer is friend or foe, Merlin always habitually first positions the other party as a malicious and hostile enemy, and then takes the strictest precautions and guards. Most of the time he did the right thing.

A small figure of sixty or seventy centimeters suddenly popped out of the crimson cavern, its body was covered in fine scales, it looked very soft and smooth, and there was a large ugly scar on its belly that could not be completely healed after the burn. The small round head has an unconcealable fear on his face, and his big eyes are full of panic and uneasiness. As it ran hard, it flicked its long tail behind it to maintain its balance, and the end of its slender tail burned with a large cloud of bright red flames.

"Little Fire Dragon?!" At a glance, he recognized the identity of the Pokémon that ran over, and Merlin was really surprised and delighted. He has never forgotten his ambition to collect three initial Pokémon, although he has been a little tempted to give up after so long, but this time he actually met a rare little fire dragon here! Merlin's head immediately began to fly.

The little fire dragon that was rushing wildly suddenly appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help but stiffen, and his pace followed, but in an instant, it made a decision, rather than being caught up by the storage zài behind him, it was better to throw himself into this omission net in front of him! So it rushed to Merlin's side again, targeting the Cutty Dog, who was glaring at it at the front of the group.

Merlin was thinking wildly at the moment, and he didn't even bother to give instructions.

And the little fire dragon took advantage of the fact that the catty dog did not receive Merlin's instructions and did not make too many effective responses to rush to the side of the catty dog, and then rushed to the back of the catty dog, squatting, a cat's waist, and holding its head with both paws, and actually hid behind its buttocks. And the catty dog also let go of the little fire dragon and began to roar into the cave, and even deliberately covered it with his body.

"What is this?" Merlin finally recovered from his rhapsody, and he couldn't help but be confused when he saw the little fire dragon's hiding behavior and the catty dog's abnormal behavior.

But he didn't give him much time to hesitate, and a suspended black shadow rushed out of the red cavern. This black shadow is said to be black, but in fact, it is covered with a strange and malicious purple, with an unconcealable sinister aura, an unpleasant smile on its face, and an ominous chill released from its body. As soon as it appeared in the molten cavern, the originally hot temperature suddenly began to drop sharply, not only affecting the actual environment, but also the chill that rose from the bones, and the strong cold feeling of zài inside and outside penetrated the deep marrow and soul of the people and Pokémon present, making them shiver violently, trembling violently, and their teeth clicked non-stop.

Looking at this purple shadow, Merlin began to ooze out layer after layer of cold sweat while swinging. Not only because of the attributes of that shadow and the unique aura that emanates from it, but also because of its power that can be truly felt. It was a strength that Merlin could not resist at the moment, a strength that made him desperate.

Seeing the stranger and strange Pokémon suddenly appear in front of him, the purple shadow stopped moving forward, suspended in mid-air, and carefully examined each of them with interest, and then clearly showed a sense of disgust, and spat out two mouthfuls of saliva that did not exist. It stared at Merlin and Hudi and Gotha Duck, soaking their bodies and souls with an eerie gaze, and then let out a strange laugh of "Geng~Geng~~".

Listening to this strange joke that did not seem to come from the world, Merlin only felt a trance in front of him, his body as if he was frozen, and at the same time seemed to feel that something began to slip out of his body.

"What's the matter, Rakula, did you catch that little guy?" Just when Merlin was dizzy, a somewhat lazy middle-aged man's voice came from the depths of the cave, the man's rough voice and stiff voice, "If you catch it, ask it if there is any trace of that rare crater Pokémon here......"

As he spoke, a middle-aged man dressed in dark gray casual clothes and about 108 centimeters tall walked out of the cave. He was of ordinary size, but at a glance, he knew that there was immeasurable power in this body. The demeanor is lazy and unkempt, but it exudes a sense of arrogance and superiority. This man was definitely or at least had been an absolute superior with the power of life and death.

Looking at the group of guys who were frightened by Geng Ghost, the middle-aged man scratched his iron chin covered with stubble, and said very casually: "How can there be children mixed in here?" Don't you want to die? His gaze swept over Merlin's group one by one, and finally stopped at the little fire dragon curled up in a ball hiding behind the catty dog, "Pull Gula, hurry up and finish the task first." We don't have time to waste ...... here," he said impatiently.

The Geng ghost, who was called Lagula, once again glanced at Merlin and them with malicious eyes, and then turned his gaze on the little fire dragon, and a purple-gray light flashed in its big red eyes, which instantly wrapped around the little fire dragon's body and controlled the little fire dragon to float, and then forcefully pulled its limbs and straightened its head to his own sight, and then violently pulled away the eyes that the little fire dragon had been closed.

At this moment, a red and black demonic light burst out from Geng Ghost's eyes, and this thick light directly hit the eyes of the little fire dragon, and the little fire dragon who was accused of his body immediately shouted in pain when he was hit by this impact. Geng Ghost began to laugh strangely. This foul luster lasted only a short time before it came to an abrupt end. The Geng, who put away the light, casually threw the little fire dragon at Merlin, and the body less than ten kilograms slammed into Merlin's lower abdomen and beat him to the ground. But his frozen body didn't react superfluously, and he could only let Geng Ghost do it.

Watching the little fire dragon roll to the ground, Geng Ghost laughed again, and then it leaned into the middle-aged man's ear and whispered something.

"Well, that's good, and sure enough." The middle-aged uncle's casual face suddenly flashed with a dangerous glow, "It's not in vain that I wasted so much energy and time." He rubbed his chin contentedly, "Little ghost, I advise you to hurry home and nurse, don't wander around in this kind of place......" he smiled horribly at Merlin, "...... Dead people...... Aha!! With that, he turned around and laughed.

The sound of steady footsteps and shrill laughter echoed for a long time, until his figure disappeared completely, and his voice seemed to linger around Merlin. It wasn't until the voice completely disappeared that Merlin and his party regained their physical freedom and mental relaxation.

Merlin touched his pounding heart, soaking wet as if he had just been fished out of the water.

"Once we find Lingzi, we'll leave immediately." It took a long time for Merlin to stumble out. Faced with the unbeatable man, Merlin had no choice but to escape.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After steadying down and basically regaining his mobility, Merlin hadn't even begun to pursue Lingzi's work, because there was another, more urgent task in front of him—he had to find a way to heal the dying little fire dragon.

I don't know what method the powerful ghost named Laguela used to get what he wanted, but in short, the little fire dragon that was abandoned by it was not in a good state, or it should be said that it was not far from death. Lying on the ground, it stiffened and its body temperature began to plummet, its limbs twitched violently from time to time, its eyes moved rapidly, and the flame at the end of its tail, which symbolized the life force, was also wilting, from a large mass at the beginning to a tiny shine no more than the light of the fire on a candle. One of the manifestations of Qiē reveals to Merlin the fact that if he is not treated in time, the little fire dragon will die at any time.

Busy calling out Happy Eggs to help, Merlin also began to look for herbs and tree fruits that might come in handy in his baggage.

As soon as the happy egg came out, the little fire dragon in the middle of the serious injury appeared, and it didn't need Merlin's command to be born with the consciousness of taking care of the sick and immediately began to treat, first to dispel the healing bell of the bad state, and then to restore the healing fluctuations of the body. As soon as he heard the pleasant sound of the healing bell, the little fire dragon's convulsions and eye movements were visibly relieved, but they soon returned to normal. And the healing fluctuation didn't help it much, and when the little fire dragon's complexion that had absorbed the healing energy just showed a hint of relief, and the flames on its tail just showed signs of expanding again, its body suddenly began to tremble violently, and then the situation worsened. The subtle flame in the tail seemed to be extinguished at any time, and the surface of the body began to glow iron blue.

"What's going on?" Seeing Nightingale's healing work not working or even the opposite effect, Merlin couldn't help but be angry and surprised, throwing down the tree fruit and herbs in his hand, Merlin hurriedly came to the little fire dragon's side and tried to use his ability to probe its body.

In the view composed of abilities, the physical condition of the little fire dragon became very clear.

The body that originally contained a huge amount of fire energy and hidden flying energy was completely occupied by a strange energy mixed with the dual attributes of ability and ghost, and the original energy in its body was swallowed up by this mixed energy, and later, neither the energy generated by itself nor the energy imported from the outside world could escape the devouring of the mixed energy, and even because of the appropriate attributes, the mixed energy also gained some promotion and enhancement after devouring the healing energy. Now these mixed energies are gnawing at the little fire dragon's life-sustaining source energy, bent on completely extinguishing its fire of life.

"Hypnotism, strange lights, dream-eating, ghosts, abilities, ......" Merlin quickly analyzed the specific composition of the mixed energy. It's all the exclusive fluctuations and energy left by the tricks he is very familiar with. But when completely organically mixed together into a strange whole, and combined with the mysterious ghost system as a concoction, these energies burst into a stubborn and terrifying destructive force that left Merlin helpless.

"The shadows of hypnotism and strange light are eating away at its spirit and soul, and the inner torment of Tongguò makes it abandon its body in search of liberation. And Dream Eater is constantly eating away at the few remaining residual energy in its body. Combined with the soul-specific effect of the ghost system, this, this, this ......" Merlin felt a headache.

"There's only one way left now." Merlin rubbed his palms quickly, "Use your ability to conquer ability, use your ability to break ghosts, use hypnotism to defeat hypnosis, and use strange light to change strange light!" He muttered as he used his power to control the three Pokéballs and quickly open them.

With the flash, the Horned Deer, Sully Shoot, and Coconut Egg Tree all appeared in the molten cavern, and as soon as they appeared, they covered themselves with protective ability shields to shield themselves from the heat damage.

"Antri, use 'Fairyland' to cover the illusion that the little fire dragon was subjected to before. Hepu and Kuknas, the two of you work together to perform hypnotism with all your might, invading the little fire dragon's mental level, and shattering the remaining hypnotic instructions from before. Vizil, Dark, and I will fight with the abilities that infiltrate its body and fight the mixed energy of the remaining abilities and the ghosts! Merlin yelled.

The partners immediately started their work.

[Merlin, use its fragile body as a 'battlefield', are you mentally prepared to accept the consequences if you fail?] Wizil said slowly, "If it can't be cured, it's really dead. 】

"If you don't save it, it's going to die!" Merlin said firmly, "I'd rather regret my failures than my inaction!" He gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, let's get started!" ”

With his command, the powers of each of the companions invaded the body of the little fire dragon in turn, and they met with the energy left behind by the Geng ghost called Lagula.

Well, there are a lot of strange things to talk about, but I'll talk about it later~~

Then, although I didn't say the name directly, the kendo brother's dragon set can also be regarded as debut~~ There may be a follow-up...... Who knows......

The answer to the last question: The attribute of the lava snail is fire and rock~

Question in this issue, may I ask: Well, what kind of Pokémon is the little fire dragon? It's still a matter of making up the numbers, making up the numbers~~
