CIATB Chapter 141 Stepping on Lambda;
Chapter 141 Stepping on Lambda;
Chapter 141 Stepping on Lambda;
The Frozen Burst Cave has a unique feature compared to the Twin Island Cave.
The ground is fragile.
The upper layer is made of icy ground that would crack and collapse if stepped on.
But now...
Perhaps due to the constant tremors and explosions emanating from the bottom of the Frozen Cave, these floors had already cracked completely without anyone even stepping on them. And through these cracked floors, Ze Shu could directly see the situation below.
"That's convenient..."
This allows them to go directly down from this spot, like a bouncy playground.
The sounds of continuous explosions coming from the lower levels, along with the slight tremors of the surrounding environment, caused the ice walls to occasionally shatter into small amounts of ice crystal powder, which actually looked quite beautiful.
Ze Shu frowned slightly.
He could faintly hear the familiar chirping of birds.
He doesn't even need to think about it.
It's definitely about Articuno...
But we still need to go down and see for ourselves what the specific situation is.
Ze Shu nodded to Kona and Xiao Lan beside him.
Kona's face turned serious, and she said earnestly:
"I'll lead the way. I know this place well; I can already tell where the noise is coming from!"
"That's where the Frozen Cave connects to the surrounding sea, and other injured Pokémon often go there."
"Maybe he's a Pokémon hunter!"
"If that person keeps bombing like this, I'm afraid... I'm afraid this entire cave will be destroyed!"
Kona truly lives up to her reputation as a local.
Although the terrain of Frozen Burrow is not as complex as that of Twin Islands.
But the level of danger has increased considerably.
Hard icicles fall everywhere, the floor is fragile, collapsing and slippery, the frozen seawater is rushing and turbulent, and there are even Pokémon like Zubat that can attack people. If you are not careful or panic, you will fall into a dangerous situation.
This reminded Ze Shu of what Kona had said earlier.
"She often came here to play when she was little; this is her lucky place."
Goodness...
Kona's parents are also very easygoing.
But Kona's guidance was indeed steady, and the effect was obvious. The further they went down, the louder the explosions became, and they gradually changed from muffled thuds to crisp sounds.
This means that Ze Shu and the others are getting closer to their goal.
Soon, in less than two or three minutes, relying on an ice bridge formed by Kona's Lapras, Zeki crossed a waterfall and finally arrived at the bottom of the Frozen Burst Cave.
And finally, I saw what was happening here.
The first thing that caught Zeki's eye was still the Articuno that Zeki had seen not long ago.
But at this moment, its once pristine azure wings were now covered in wolves' fur and were in disarray, and its beautiful tail feathers, which should have been fluttering gracefully, were now drooping down. Clearly, it had suffered a significant impact from the explosion!
"Hehehe..."
"I don't know why you haven't gone berserk, but you, this so-called 'legendary bird Pokémon that controls ice,' are nothing special. After holding out for so long, shouldn't you obediently submit to me?"
Amidst the ice and dust caused by the explosion.
A soft, gloomy sound arose.
But in response, he was met with the angry cry of the Articuno.
"Screech!!"
"Well, in that case, I'll just have to beat you half to death before taking you away. After all, you're too beautiful; I can't bring myself to do it."
Now you've helped me make up my mind... ::
"Double gas bombs, massive self-destruction!"
He had barely finished speaking.
The dozens of double-explosive gas bombs floating at the bottom of the frozen cave suddenly made a "cooing" sound, spewing poison gas and dust from their vents, while their bodies emitted a terrifying white light, and they suddenly pounced on the Articuno that was obviously struggling to its death.
Articuno looked angry.
Its wings now whipped up a fierce blizzard as it met the oncoming double-explosive gas bombs that were being used in a massive self-destruction attack.
However, the blizzard seemed weak at this moment.
It couldn't stop the onslaught of these double-barreled gas cannons at all.
"Sound..."
This made Articuno stare anxiously.
If it weren't still recovering from its injuries, it could have frozen any number of those tiny double-gauge gas canisters!
But now:
It could only watch helplessly as the double-barreled gas broke through its blizzard, reached its vicinity, and emitted a burst of white light!
Moreover, these dual-explosive gas canisters were clearly well-trained.
They almost completely blocked Articuno's retreat route with their bodies, so no matter which way it went, it had to endure this series of massive self-destructions!
"Hmph hmph hmph..."
"This massive self-destruction attack is something no legendary Pokémon or human could withstand; hahaha, since you refuse to submit to me, this is the only way. I can already picture myself stomping on your beautiful body!"
Instantly.
Amidst the despair in Articuno's expression; beneath Lambda's triumphant words.
The two Weezing bombs surrounding Articuno all exploded!
A series of terrifying "boom" sounds echoed throughout the frozen, exploding cave at the bottom!
It was as if the entire Frozen Burst Cave was shaken, ice and rock shattered, and rubble exploded; ice dust stirred up a cloud of mist, which was pushed out in a ring-like pattern by the shockwave; the load-bearing walls supporting the Frozen Burst Cave were also affected, and the entire cave shook and teetered on the verge of collapse.
This shows how terrifying it was that dozens of double-explosive gas canisters detonated simultaneously!
They witnessed the power of their "self-destruction tactic".
Lambda could already envision the Articuno falling helplessly to the ground after the ice dust dissipated, leaving it to flutter about.
but.
As time slowly passed, the ice dust gradually dissipated, but Lambda could not see any Articuno.
Those remaining in place...
It was a sky-blue Poké Ball engraved with wings, completely wrecked from being bombed, and a design Lambda had never seen before.
Despite being blasted to pieces, the Poké Ball seemed to be of decent quality, still executing the capture process. The sky-blue citrus ball swayed slightly, and the old-fashioned iron knob opening also rattled.
"Varied.."
Lambda felt a sense of satisfaction.
But he immediately realized that someone was up to no good!
"Who? Who is it!"
His voice was somewhat exasperated, and his eyes gradually reddened as he realized his plan had been ruined.
As the light sound of footsteps echoed, Lambda's gaze instantly locked onto the newcomer. Upon seeing who it was, his eyes widened in shock, and he roared angrily:
"It's you?!"
The one who appeared before Lambda was, of course, Ze Shu.
He didn't respond to Lambda's impotent rage, but instead looked with interest at the shuttlecock that was still swaying to the side.
"Pretty smart..."
Just now.
As soon as he entered the cave and took a clear look at the situation.
Lambda's double-barreled gas was about to self-destruct.
Ze Shu only had three or four seconds to react. In desperation, Ze Shu could only use a special method to take out the shuttle balls he had previously bought in Xi Cui and throw them at the Articuno that was about to be subjected to a terrifying explosion.
The most distinctive feature of this shuttleball is its high flight speed after being thrown.
That's why they were able to reach Articuno before it exploded, take it inside, and bear the brunt of the self-destruction in Articuno's place.
Other ordinary Poké Balls might not achieve this effect.
"uh-huh...
"Looks like the Poké Balls from hundreds of years ago are still in pretty good condition."
Ze Shu just finished sighing.
The shuttleball then made a "bang" sound.
Then came a sudden explosion.
Articuno's unharmed form emerged from within. Once outside, it quickly looked around and spotted Sawaki approaching slowly to the side.
It paused for a moment, then exclaimed incredulously:
"Sing..."
Articuno's eyes betrayed a mistake.
But its expression clearly conveyed "peace of mind".
"I saved you again."
Ze Shu joked.
Articuno didn't argue; instead, it lowered its head.
Meanwhile, on the opposite side, Lambda, who had been ignored by Ze Shu, angrily said in a cold voice:
"With that attitude, do you think you've got me cornered? Let me tell you, I have more than just this much double-explosive gas in stock!"
"Give it to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two people dressed in Team Rocket uniforms ran out from behind him and carried a metal box to Lambda's side. The box was almost completely filled with Poké Balls.
"I did this for..."
"But we've been preparing for this for a long time!"
Lambda sneered again.
He looked at Ze Shu and said, "It's just a dozen or so double-explosive gas canisters. Do you really think that after I detonate this one, I'm out of ammunition? Let me tell you, I can detonate it many more times!"
"The first time you managed to evade it using underhanded methods."
"Now that you're right here, do you think you can just crawl into a Poké Ball? Last time, six Weezing Gas bombs didn't kill you in President Silph's office, but what if a whole thirty-three Weezing Gas bombs exploded?"
Lambda glared at Ze Shu with hatred.
During the operation at the Silph Corporation, he was about to help the Rockets deal with Silph, their backstabbing partner, and obtain the valuable Master Ball and research data, but he was interrupted by this investigator who suddenly barged in, resulting in him having to self-destruct and flee in a panic.
But this time...
Inside this frozen cave, he was about to capture the legendary bird Pokémon, Articuno, but at the very moment of his impending success, it was this investigator who ruined his plan!
Recalling both old and new grudges.
Lambda felt that Ze Shu was extremely hateful at this moment!
I wish I could blow this person to smithereens, leaving no trace of his body!
So, without waiting for Ze Shu's response, Lambda picked up the box full of double-explosive gas and flung it into the air!
A barrage of Poké Balls rained down from the sky and crashed to the ground!
A series of "bang bang bang" sounds rang out as the Poké Ball was summoned.
At a glance, it was as if the sky was filled with double-explosive gas, and the poisonous gas and garbage gas sprayed from their vents almost filled the entire frozen cave!
"Wow, that's fierce..."
Seeing this scene.
Ze Shu couldn't help but marvel at this "double-explosive gas explosion maniac".
Behind him, Kona was also stunned. If so many double-exploded gas canisters were to self-destruct at the same power they had just used, even her ice-type army would have a hard time withstanding them!
Danger!
Kona quickly realized this.
Looking at Ze Shu ahead, she wanted to quickly take out a Poké Ball to cover Ze Shu.
but.
Lambda didn't want to give them time to react. Before Lorelei could even take out a Poké Ball, he said:
"Double-shot gas!"
"Let's all self-destruct!"
"Blow this guy, along with the two women behind him, and this bird, to smithereens!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the numerous double-gauge gas canisters that filled the spacious and tall cave all began to make strange "cooing" noises, and their bodies emitted a hundred lights that represented terrifying power!
The entire cave was instantly transformed into a sea of white light.
And this "ocean"
They also surged wildly towards Ze Shu's direction!
Lorelei's eyes widened slightly. She only had time to release her Pokémon to protect herself and Blue beside her, but not enough time to protect Zeki who was walking ahead.
Radam's eyes gleamed with fanaticism.
He could already picture it in his mind: after the terrifying explosion subsided, the three opponents and their Pokémon would be reduced to ashes, and the Articuno would be back in his hands.
Articuno's entire body was tense.
But seeing Ze Shu's expressionless face beside it, it felt a little relieved. It looked intently at the group of double-explosive gas cannons. Even if it had to use all its strength, it would protect Ze Shu and itself.
Xiao Lan's palms were sweaty, and her fists were clenched tightly.
But she wasn't that worried;
Facing this group of double-barreled gas cannons radiating terrifying power,
Several Pokémon appeared around Ze Shu.
Among them was a pale yellow Psyduck at his feet, looking dazed and confused, even covering its head, seemingly unable to comprehend the scene. Lambda couldn't bear to see this abrupt Psyduck.
I even felt like laughing.
These could be considered burial goods...
But all I saw was...
Ze Shu raised his finger and pointed it seven or eight times in quick succession at the incoming double-barreled gas attack, saying softly:
"Take care of these ones by myself."
In the midst of the fog, two sounds were heard: "Bu-i" and "Mi-ming," followed by the cry of Articuno. Two beams of freezing light, as sharp as blades, shot out with a bang, accompanied by the ghostly and agile figure of the Snow Fairy.
It took about seven or eight breaths.
Under their instantaneous burst.
The eight double-explosive gas canisters that Zeshu had just pointed out were rendered incapable of fighting by Wushi under his "King of Hell's Call".
But they are nothing in this seemingly boundless swarm of double-explosive gas.
Even during the seven or eight breaths he took to act.
The group of double-explosive gas canisters has already reached the vicinity of Ze Shu, and perhaps in another second or two...::
Self-destruction will come!
but,
It was at this moment that...
Psyduck let out a confused "quack".
A moist scent wafted through the air.
It's very inconspicuous.
But Lambda looked stunned:
"this..."
In his incredulous expression.
The terrifying white light emanating from the double-explosive gas bombs that rushed towards Ze Shu, a light akin to a "massive self-destruction," was emanating from them amidst the damp air.
But it dimmed slightly;
This led to...
The two gas canisters wanted to self-destruct, but they couldn't.
They can't stop even if their heads turn completely red; they're in extreme discomfort!
This feeling is like being on the verge of reaching your climax, the other side of happiness, when suddenly something strange blocks your way.
It makes you incredibly anxious, yet you can't seem to unleash that feeling.
"This is..."
"Moisture properties".
Lambda said through gritted teeth.
His eyes were filled with disbelief, and his body was swaying precariously.
"How is that possible...."
This characteristic can suppress spontaneous detonation within a certain range.
As an expert in "doubles Koffing self-destruction," Lambda was naturally aware of this characteristic that countered his tactics, but he never took it to heart because doubles Koffing also had a characteristic—1
"Chemical Change Gases"
This gas can suppress the abilities of Pokémon that it smells, preventing them from using their abilities.
Therefore, he mixed one or two double-explosive gas bombs with this characteristic into every group of double-explosive gas bombs.
Because of this...
This "humidity" property is naturally completely ineffective against him.
But why...?
These chemically altered gases were all "targeted" and killed!
Why, why...
How is it that this person can so accurately identify the double-explosive gas with "chemical change smell" in his double-explosive gas pack?
Even from his appearance, it's clear that he's a "double-gauge gas expert".
They can't tell the difference between them!
But unfortunately...
Lambda was incredulous.
Ze Shu obviously wouldn't tell him that he "saw it from the system panel".
He glanced at the two gas canisters around him, who were struggling to breathe, chuckled, and said:
"Isn't it my turn?"
After saying that, Ze Shu pulled out a baseball bat from somewhere, gripped the handle tightly, and aimed the wide bat head at a double-barreled gas canister that was flashing white light next to him.
It was just a simple wave.
A crisp "bang" sound rang out.
The double-bouncing gas was hit by Zeki towards Lambda. Zeki concentrated his power, and the ball was very fast. The double-bouncing gas quickly arrived at Lambda's side.
At this moment, it also left the area covered by Psyduck's moisture.
The double-explosive gas cannons no longer need to be held back from self-destructing.
It released and gushed out freely!
There was a loud "boom"!
Beside Lambda, the dual-explosive gas burst into bloom, revealing a terrifying power.
Ze Shu isn't finished yet.
One double-ball gas can't be enough, there are so many uncomfortable "balls" around us. It would be such a sin not to help them release them!
and so.
He kept waving his hand.
The sounds of baseballs being swung were constant.
The sound of explosions echoed continuously next to Lambda.
Lambda's body was blasted into countless pieces by the explosion of the dual-explosive gas...
But Zeju's aim is good!
Lambda doesn't need to worry about his favorite double-tap gas not reaching him. No matter where Lambda's body flies, he can accurately hit the double-tap gas with a baseball, and then the double-tap gas will be released precisely next to Lambda!
This incredibly precise aim left Lorelei, surrounded by Pokémon, completely stunned.
She blinked incredulously.
For some reason, even though she knew perfectly well that this Team Rocket member deserved to die, and that she had just tried to blow the three of them to smithereens, she still felt sorry for this Team Rocket officer.
However, Ze Shu, the investigator, at this moment, seemed more like a villain mocked by an evil organization.
But Little Blue excitedly waved the Jigglypuff in her hand.
Cheer for Ze Shu!
"Go, Sawaki! Take this guy down!"
"It's not necessary to kill him..."
Perhaps he was tired from swinging, or perhaps he had used up most of the double-barreled gas, or maybe Lambda just happened to be blown to his feet.
Ze Shu stopped what he was doing, smelled the icy dust from the explosion in the cave, sighed slowly, and then looked at Lambda, who now looked like a lump of mud at his feet.
"Hey, is it still breathing?"
"Wake up."
"Cough, cough..."
Lambda struggled to move her head, trying to glare at Ze Shu with resentment.
Zeshu already had a deep understanding of how strong the human body was in the Pokémon world, so he wasn't very surprised at this moment.
"You're still awake?" he nodded. "Then please get some sleep."
Seeing Lambda trying to raise his head, he lifted his foot and stomped on the back of Lambda's head, shoving it back into the ground.
He raised the baseball bat and smashed it down on his neck!
There was a loud "".
Hmm, his neck shouldn't be broken.
But Lambda must have "slept," and slept very soundly.
"Done!"
"This guy has finally been brought to justice."
"Speaking of which, Shigeru also wants to take down this guy. Am I stealing his target?"
Ze Shu clapped his hands.
Just then, Xiao Lan ran to the other side, picked up Lambda's pile of Poké Balls, and collected the Weezings in the cave that were either unconscious after self-destructing or unable to do anything before self-destructing.
"Hmph hmph hmph..."
"These are all dangerous explosives; they must be properly stored away!"
Kona also breathed a sigh of relief.
She patted her chest, but was unconsciously drawn to the Articuno beside Ze Shu.
She recognized the bird and had heard rumors that articulated birds sometimes reached the Frozen Cave.
But surprisingly, despite being extremely familiar with the area, Kona had never seen Articuno and always missed it.
This was the first time she had ever seen the real person.
At this moment, Kona's eyes couldn't help but show amazement at the beauty of Articuno.
The crystal-clear azure crown, the soft and beautiful feathers, the flowing and elegant long tail feathers...
Although some are now perverts, they also possess a purity that seems untouched by the dust of the world, inspiring a sense of "not daring to desecrate" them.
color.
That's what she was thinking.
"?!"
Kona suddenly let out a soft sound,
Zeshu began to caress Articuno without any restraint, even messing up some of its beautiful feathers. Articuno didn't resist much; instead, it seemed to adapt and get used to it.
Is this really the Articuno, the cleanest of the three legendary birds Kona has heard of?!
"Sing..."
As Sawaki "inspected" its injuries, Articuno's expression of enjoyment was tinged with a hint of anger.
It first looked around at the crumbling cave, then at Lambda who had been knocked unconscious by Ze Shu, and let out an angry "scream".
It doesn't understand.
It used to be a quiet, peaceful life on Twin Island, and it rarely went out.
But why do some people want to disturb it and seize it?
Even when it comes to this prepared nest, someone will still find it. This frozen cave is also on the verge of collapse and may not be able to hold on any longer.
Even if it's a sedentary "homebody".
She does have a temper, too!
"So, you want to 'get back' at them? To show the Rockets you're not a coward to be slaughtered."
Zeshu listened to Articuno's complaints and teased him.
The articulated bird raised its beautiful head and let out another cry.
This isn't revenge; it's about preventing future troubles and stopping these annoying guys from bothering it anymore!
Ze Shu retorted, "Do you know who your enemy is?"
Articuno looked bewildered for a moment.
But soon, it found a solution—it kept looking straight at Ze Shu.
Zeki said, "Your enemy is Team Rocket."
Articuno nodded: "Sing!"
Okay, now we know who the enemy is, we can go and take them down!
Ze Shu then asked, "Do you know where the enemy is?"
The Articuno was bewildered again, and it looked at the Swamp Tree.
But this time, Ze Shu patted its head and smiled:
"Then come with me. I'm going to deal with the Rockets too. Wouldn't it be perfect if we went together?"
"The Rockets destroyed two of your homes, so let's go destroy their base too!"
"How is it?"
