Chapter 163: There's Actually a Twist?

Chapter 163: There's Actually a Twist?

After a wild dash by Dodrio, Bai Feng and Sabrina arrived at Lavender Town before dark.

Looking at the setting sun, Sabrina said, "The timing is just right!" Nightfall was exactly the time for Ghost-type Pokémon activity.

Lavender Town is a town with a very unique style. The environment uses purple as its main color scheme. The roofs of the Houses here are purple, the Walls are purple, and the paving stones on the roads are also purple... Therefore, the entire Town looks a bit dull, and also a bit solemn and serious.

Simply because Lavender Town is a famous Pokémon graveyard, a seven-story Pokemon Tower stands here, which is a resting place for the souls of deceased Pokémon.

Of course, and precisely because of this, a large number of Ghost-type Pokémon reside in the Pokemon Tower.

However, normally these Ghost-type Pokémon do not leave the Pokemon Tower, and the Pokemon Tower also has dedicated Prayer Masters responsible for guarding it.

Led by Sabrina, Bai Feng came to this place called Pokemon Tower for the first time. He saw it standing quietly in the center of Lavender Town, its overall color the same as Lavender Town, all purple.

The Pokemon Tower is a typical ancient octagonal tower building, divided into seven floors in total.

It is said that besides the first and second floors, the other five floors also house a large number of other types of Pokémon.

As soon as the two arrived at the Pokemon Tower Doorway, several Prayer Masters wearing Monk Robes walked out. They respectfully bowed to Sabrina and said with anxious Expressions:

"Gym Leader Sabrina, those Ghost-type Pokémon have slipped out again!"

The leading Prayer Master was an old man over fifty. He had a buzz cut, his eyebrows and beard were already gray, and his voice was weak, as if he could collapse at any moment.

"I understand!" Sabrina said expressionlessly, and immediately urged Dodrio to turn and leave, releasing an Alakazam while running.

Seeing this, Bai Feng quickly urged the Dodrio beneath him to chase after her.

At this moment, Sabrina's Alakazam had already begun using its Psychic Power to search for Ghost-type Pokémon. He saw purple light flashing in both her and Alakazam's Eyes, and they continuously swept the path with Psychic Power.

Not until they ran to the Pokémon Center did Sabrina and Alakazam stop their Footsteps.

"Found them!" Sabrina said with a gloomy Expression. "Last Time it was the Police Station, this Time it's the Pokémon Center. You really are something!"

It could be seen that Sabrina was very angry.

"Ahhh!!!"

"Lucky!!!!"

At this moment, the Screaming of Nurse Joy and Chansey suddenly came from inside the Pokémon Center, making Sabrina's Expression change drastically.

"Wait for me outside, I'll be right back!"

After Sabrina finished speaking, she rushed into the Pokémon Center with Alakazam, leaving Bai Feng standing there with a bewildered Expression.

Soon, a series of clanging sounds came from inside the Pokémon Center. Sabrina seemed to have gotten into a battle with the Pokémon inside.

Not long after, Nurse Joy and Chansey ran out in a disheveled state, their faces still streaked with tears. It was clear they had been badly frightened.

Bai Feng dismounted from Dodrio, ran to Nurse Joy's side and asked, "Nurse Joy, what's the Situation inside?"

Seeing this, Nurse Joy grabbed Bai Feng. "Are you a Trainer? Quickly go in and help Gym Leader Sabrina, Gym Leader Sabrina's Situation doesn't seem very good!"

Bai Feng's Expression changed upon hearing this. Without a second thought, he released Bayleef and Heliolisk and rushed into the Pokémon Center with them.

Bai Feng had just stepped into the Hall when a Shadow Ball came flying towards him. Bayleef quickly darted forward and used its Body to block the attack for Bai Feng.

"Bay!!!"

Bayleef's Head tilted from being hit by the Shadow Ball, letting out a painful cry. But immediately after, white light emanated from its Body, and its Injuries recovered in the blink of an Eye.

In the darkness, several more Shadow Balls came flying, but this Time Heliolisk wouldn't let them succeed again.

He saw that the Ground of the Pokémon Center Hall suddenly turned golden yellow. Golden Electric Current flashed, illuminating the surrounding Environment brightly.

Bai Feng also finally saw the Situation in the Hall clearly. He saw several Haunter floating in the air, two Banette were hidden in the Corner, and two Sableye.

Besides this, several Trainers and several Pokémon were also lying on the Sofa in the Hall. They should all be staying at the Pokémon Center.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

Shadow Balls rushed towards Bai Feng and his Pokémon all at once, but as Heliolisk unleashed a Lightning bolt, all the Shadow Balls completely disappeared.

Seeing this scene, the Ghost-type Pokémon panicked and couldn't help but retreat. Haunter even directly hid inside the Wall.

Bai Feng hesitated for an Instant, did not pay attention to these few Ghost-type Pokémon, but chose to run directly towards the direction where the sound of battle was coming from.

Passing through the long Corridor, Bai Feng, Heliolisk, and Bayleef arrived at a Room Doorway. He saw from the gap of the tightly closed Door, a trace of black mist was seeping out.

Just as Bai Feng was about to push the Door open and go in, he heard a loud bang. The Room Door suddenly bulged outwards, as if something had crashed into it.

Bai Feng subconsciously retreated. Immediately after, an Alakazam crashed through the Room Door and landed in Bai Feng's arms. Fortunately, Bai Feng caught it in Time using Psychic Power, otherwise, whether it was the Alakazam thrown out or Bai Feng who was hit, neither would have felt good.

The Alakazam was naturally Sabrina's Alakazam!

At this moment, Alakazam had already lost its Combat Ability. Bai Feng had no choice but to put it on Bayleef's back, and immediately rushed into the Room with Heliolisk.

Bayleef followed closely behind Bai Feng and Heliolisk, and didn't forget to give Alakazam a Healing Wave.

As soon as Bai Feng entered the Room, he saw a strong Ghost-type aura drifting everywhere inside. A Gengar was staring at Sabrina with red Eyes, while Sabrina was also sitting in the Corner with Blood at the corner of her mouth.

Seeing Bai Feng enter, Sabrina showed an anxious Expression. "Why did you come in! Quickly go out, it's dangerous here!"

It was clear that this Gengar's Strength had already exceeded Sabrina's expectations!

"Gengar!!! Gengar!!!"

Gengar raised its hand and unleashed a Shadow Ball, smashing towards Bai Feng and Heliolisk. But Heliolisk directly used a Dragon Tail to swat the Shadow Ball away and blasted Gengar with Thunderbolt.

Dense Thunder Pillars instantly trapped Gengar, but Gengar was not flustered. He saw the black aura all over its Body suddenly erupt, and black ripples spreading out in circles instantly shattered Heliolisk's Thunderbolt.

Heliolisk once again spread out Electric Terrain and began to run around the Room quickly. It simultaneously used the two Moves, Quick Attack and Magnet Rise. Its speed was extreme, its Body almost turned into a Golden Streamer.

Gengar's Eyes kept following Heliolisk, its Eyes were almost dizzy. It angrily condensed a large number of Shadow Balls and threw them out.

But to its surprise, when the Shadow Balls touched Heliolisk's Body, they actually passed directly through, causing no damage to Heliolisk.

Heliolisk is not only an Electric-type Pokémon but also a Normal-type Pokémon, and Normal-type Pokémon are immune to Ghost-type attacks!

Gengar's Expression stiffened upon seeing this. Looking at this unfamiliar Pokémon, it seemed to realize something and immediately began using Poison-type Acid Bomb attacks.

However, compared to its Ghost-type Moves, Gengar's Poison-type Moves were clearly not as powerful, and it couldn't even hit the Quick Attack-using Heliolisk.

Heliolisk ran while harassing Gengar with Electromagnetic Waves. Gengar's speed was also very fast, and Heliolisk's Electromagnetic Waves were also difficult to hit it with.

The battle fell into a stalemate!

This Gengar's Strength was clearly a bit stronger than Heliolisk's. As Time passed, Heliolisk was occasionally hit by its Acid Bomb or Sludge Bomb, and even fell into a Poisoned State.

But it had Bayleef supporting it from behind. Bayleef's Healing Wave could help it recover Stamina, and Aromatherapy could help it remove the Poisoned State, so Heliolisk became braver the more it fought.

On the contrary, Gengar became more and more impatient, and its Stamina depletion became more and more severe.

Finally, Heliolisk actually managed to completely deplete the Poison inside Gengar. Gengar's last Acid Bomb was sprayed uselessly, only a few drops came out symbolically; it couldn't form an attack at all.

Gengar was about to explode!

If its Ghost-type Moves hadn't been ineffective, how could it be so disheveled?

Gengar descended from the air, panting while glaring at Heliolisk. The next second, its Body began to sink Underground; it turned out it was planning to escape.

At this moment, Bayleef used Sweet Scent. The sweet Taste instantly surrounded Gengar.

So fragrant!

Gengar's Consciousness was affected, and its reaction was half a beat slow.

And precisely because of this half-beat, Heliolisk seized the Opportunity. An Electromagnetic Wave hit Gengar, and Gengar fell into a Paralyzed State.

Boom!!!

As a clap of thunder sounded, Heliolisk's Thunderbolt engulfed the immobile Gengar. By the Time the Lightning dissipated, Gengar had already fainted on the Ground.

Seeing Bai Feng defeat Gengar so easily, Sabrina stared blankly at Bai Feng. "You're this strong?"

"Very strong? It's alright." Bai Feng decided to act cool.

"Why didn't you say you were this strong earlier, and you even said you needed me to protect you!" Sabrina wiped the Blood from the corner of her mouth and said with a blushing face.

However, because the surrounding Environment was too dark, Bai Feng did not notice.

"It wasn't me who said I needed you to protect me!" Bai Feng said, spreading his hands. "Are your Injuries alright!"

Sabrina got up, took out a bottle of Medicine Pills from her Body, poured one out and put it in her mouth, and shook her Head, saying, "It's nothing, just minor Injuries. Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have been in trouble this Time."

In fact, if there hadn't been Bai Feng, Sabrina would have suffered an unprecedented blow from Gengar this Time, and Alakazam would also have been critically injured and its Life in danger because of this, almost not being saved.

Going back this Time, she would train her Psychic Power hard because of guilt. Eventually, due to being too hasty, she would train herself to be emotionally closed off and estranged from everyone, leading to a series of subsequent events. Even Xiao Zhi's later journey was met with difficulties from Sabrina.

However, these Matters would not happen because of Bai Feng's participation.

The two walked up to the fainted Gengar, thinking about sending it back to the Pokemon Tower for Seal. At this moment, the Pokémon Bai Feng had encountered earlier in the Pokémon Center Hall suddenly appeared.

They blocked the front of Gengar, trembling and prostrating on the Ground, and kept kowtowing to Bai Feng and Sabrina.

Sabrina couldn't understand Pokémon Language and hadn't learned Mind Reading, so she couldn't understand what the few Ghost-type Pokémon were saying, but Bai Feng heard it clearly.

They weren't just begging for Gengar's mercy, they were also asking Bai Feng and them for help.

"You still dare to show up!" Sabrina was full of anger and immediately wanted to take out her Pokeballs again to deal with all these "detestable" Ghost-type Pokémon.

"Wait!" Bai Feng stopped her in Time. "Let's ask about the Situation first." These Pokémon have already lost their will to fight.

Immediately after, Bai Feng looked at the Ghost-type Pokémon and said, "Tell me the Reason you attacked the Pokémon Center!"

The few Ghost-type Pokémon immediately started chattering.

According to what they said, they did not attack the Pokémon Center but came to ask Nurse Joy for help. Including going to the Police Station last Time, it was also to ask Miss Jun Sha for help.

But whether it was the people at the Police Station or the people at the Pokémon Center, they couldn't understand their words and instead launched an attack on them. They only counterattacked out of helplessness, and at most only made people faint; they did not harm anyone.

After hearing their words, Bai Feng said with a suspicious Expression, "But you've been causing trouble in the Town recently, making the entire Lavender Town panic-stricken!"

The few Pokémon immediately shook their Heads upon hearing this, stating that it wasn't them causing trouble in the Town, but another group of Ghost-type Pokémon. This was also the Reason they went to the Pokémon Center and Police Station for help.

These Ghost-type Pokémon originally lived very peacefully in the Pokemon Tower. But one day, a group of people attacked the Pokemon Tower and captured the Prayer Masters guarding the Pokemon Tower.

Later, that group of people began capturing the Pokémon in the Pokemon Tower and controlled them using special means. Only the Gengar with the strongest Strength escaped with a few Ghost-type Pokémon.

"You mean the Prayer Masters in the Pokemon Tower now are all fakes?" Bai Feng said in disbelief.

The few Ghost-type Pokémon nodded with teary Eyes.

Those fake Prayer Masters, in order to catch Gengar, released another wave of Ghost-type Pokémon to cause trouble in Lavender Town and then framed Gengar, to attract the League to send people to capture Gengar and Seal Gengar back into the Pokemon Tower. This way they could catch Gengar effortlessly.

"Is everything you said true?" Bai Feng asked with a serious Expression.

The few Ghost-type Pokémon kept nodding. Finally, someone could understand them, and they were so moved they were almost crying.

"What are you chattering about?"

Sabrina, who was nearby, had long been made anxious by them. At the same Time, she was also very surprised that Bai Feng could actually understand Pokémon Language, and it didn't look like he was using Mind Reading.

And thinking about his Strength...

What a mysterious man!

So Bai Feng repeated what the Ghost-type Pokémon had said to Sabrina. Sabrina was also dumbfounded after hearing it.

She was actually used!

"Then do you know who attacked the Pokemon Tower?" Bai Feng asked again.

The Ghost-type Pokémon said a Name.

"Team Rocket?"

Bai Feng read out this Name, and after exchanging a glance with Sabrina, fell silent.
