Chapter 793

Dan Heng leaned against the stone pillar in the square, tapping his fingertips on the handle of his gun with rhythmic sounds, as if he was calculating the pros and cons.

"Since the trainers in Tianxing City are xenophobic, we might get into trouble if we barge in rashly."

He looked up into the depths of the forest. "He never does anything meaningless."

"Then disguise yourself as a trainer." Feng Jin suddenly spoke. She took out a vest with the words "Tianxing City Trainer Association" printed on it. The fabric was rough and there were suspicious mud spots on the edges.

"I just picked it up nearby. It must have been dropped by some unlucky person."

Sanyueqi's eyes lit up, "I know! Trainers all like to say 'It's you,' and like to throw Poké Balls into the sky!"

She grabbed the spare Poké Ball from Lin Yu's pocket and threw it into the air, but she missed it. The ball bounced several times on the grass and rolled in front of a Glowfish.

The Glowfish curiously tapped the Poké Ball with its tail, and the Poké Ball suddenly lit up red and took it in.

"..." Everyone looked at the shaking Poké Ball in silence, and then looked at March Seven with an innocent look on his face.

"It seems I need to practice more." Lin Yu picked up the Poké Ball, pressed the button, and released the dizzy Light Ball Fish.

"Okay, stop making trouble." Dan Heng crossed his arms. "Basic etiquette for trainers is 'ask for permission', not 'forcible kidnapping'. You'll be arrested as a poacher for what you did."

"Perhaps the principle of the Poké Ball is to use the power of the Star God to simulate an environment familiar to Pokémon, making them willing to stay there temporarily."

Dan Heng speculated, "March was able to capture Glitterfish by accident probably because the Poké Ball was imbued with the aura of the small town, making it feel safe."

When March 7 heard this, he immediately became excited.

"So, I'm actually quite talented?"

"It's because the light ball fish has too good a temper." Lin Yu ruthlessly interrupted and pointed at an armored rhinoceros in the distance.

Of course it wasn't the one that was killed by the blade, but another young one.

"Go try that. If you can get it to enter the Poké Ball of its own accord, I'll admit you have talent."

March 7 looked in the direction Lin Yu pointed, and saw that the little rhino was angry at a tree, banging its head against it, causing the hard trunk to lose leaves.

She stuck out her tongue and retracted her hand awkwardly, "I'd better... start with the Light Ball Fish."

"Remember, Pokémon are not tools, they are friends who can understand you."

The sister said so.

"Everyone, get ready," she said to everyone. "Before we set off tomorrow, I need you to learn how to use the Poké Balls correctly, or at least not scare the Pokémon away again."

My sister sighed, her tone filled with genuine concern, "But I still have to warn you again, it's really dangerous out there."

"The forest over there in Tianxing City is much more dangerous than the one near us."

She glanced deeper into the forest, as if afraid of being overheard. "I heard there are wolf-shaped Pokémon that run faster than the wind and have claws that can tear through iron. There are also flying ones with wings that have fire on them, and their breath creates a fireball. Even scarier are... dragons."

"Dragon?" Lin Yu was stunned for a moment. This word reminded him of the majestic dragon-type Pokémon in the game before he traveled through time. Could there really be some here?

"Yes," my sister nodded, her voice lowered. "When the mayor was young, he went to the edge of Tianxing City and said he saw it once. It was covered with scales and had horns on its head. When it flew, it blocked out the sky and sun, and its roar could shake the ground three times."

"Those trainers treat dragons as treasures and risk their lives to capture them, but how can a dragon be so obedient? I heard that every year there are trainers who are burned to charcoal by dragons."

Sanyueqi's eyes widened when he heard this. "Then...what should we do if we run into each other? Run?"

"You might not be able to escape even if you run." My sister shook her head. "So you really need to think it through. There's no need to risk your life for those vague answers."

"It's so nice to stay in a small town. There's food and drink, the Pokémon are docile, and it's safe and secure."

"Thank you for your kindness," Lin Yu said softly, "but we have to go. There are some things that someone has to figure out."

"If the trainers in Tianxing City are really hurting them, we can't just ignore it."

Dan Heng also nodded. "If the power of the star core is abused, it won't just be the Pokémon that will suffer. I'm afraid the entire Liuguang Island will be affected."

Seeing their determined eyes, the elder sister knew that she could no longer persuade them, so she sighed and said, "Forget it. You outsiders are always more clever than us."

"Then you should rest for a night, and I will teach you tomorrow."

Night quickly enveloped the town. The leaves glowed softly in the moonlight. The soft chirping of the Pokémons was like a lullaby, wrapped in the scent of grass and seeping into the window cracks.

Lin Yu lay on the wooden bed, listening to the noises of Sanyueqi and the others playing next door. The uneasiness about the unknown in his heart was gradually replaced by a peaceful sleep.

Aglaya's room was also next door. He could vaguely feel the golden threads on her fingertips floating gently outside the window, as if guarding this tranquility.

He slept very deeply until the dazzling firelight penetrated his eyelids and mixed with the choking smoke into his nostrils, and Lin Yu was suddenly awakened.

"on fire!"

Someone shouted, and then there was a loud noise of a house collapsing.

Lin Yu turned over and got out of bed, rushed out of the room, and the scene before him made his blood freeze instantly.

The town was no longer what it had been last night.

The once neatly arranged wooden houses were reduced to burning ruins. The flames licked the charred beams, making a crackling sound. Thick smoke billowed into the sky, dyeing the clouds a dirty gray and black.

The ground was littered with broken beams, charred cloth, and...

There were several bodies burned beyond recognition, including those of residents and Pokémon.

The fox's tail feathers curled up into a charred ball in the fire, and the rabbit's pink fur was soaked in blood and stuck to the mud.

"How could this happen..." San Yueqi's voice was filled with tears, and she looked particularly weak in the firelight.

Aglaya stood in the center of a messy square, the golden threads on his fingertips spreading wildly in all directions, but he could only touch a piece of burning despair.

"I can't sense any living creatures anymore, except..."

She turned towards the half-collapsed bakery at the town entrance. The golden thread seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, tightly wrapping around the pile of rubble.

"There!" Lin Yu rushed in the direction of the golden thread, and everyone followed closely behind.

The roof of the bakery had collapsed, and a thick wooden beam was stuck diagonally in the rubble, and underneath the beam, a piece of a flour-stained apron was exposed.

It’s that sister.

Lin Yu used gravity to move the broken bricks that were pressing on her away.

But one of my sister's legs was pinned down, blood from her forehead covered half of her face, and her breathing was as weak as a candle in the wind.

"Don't worry about me..." She opened her eyes with difficulty. When she saw Lin Yu, a trace of clarity flashed across her dilated pupils, and a smile uglier than crying appeared at the corner of her mouth. "You... run..."

"Who did it? Was it Blade? Or the trainer from Tianxing City?" Lin Yu asked, preparing to use the Fate of Abundance to treat her.

Warm energy flowed through his fingertips. For him, who possessed the power of abundance, the bruises and blood loss were just scars that could be healed in an instant.

He had even decided to repair her broken leg bones first, and then heal the wound on her forehead.

But just before the green light was about to cover her sister's body, she suddenly raised her hand and grabbed Lin Yu's wrist tightly.

The hand was incredibly hot, as if it had just been pulled out of the fire. The blood and soot on the palm of his hand stuck to his skin, bringing a burning pain, and the force was too great to be expected from a dying person.

"It's...it's a dragon..." My sister's voice was weak, and every word she said seemed to have exhausted all her strength. "The people from Tianxing City...brought a dragon...they want..."

She couldn't finish her sentence.

The hand that was holding Lin Yu's wrist suddenly loosened, and like a puppet with its strings cut, it fell heavily into the rubble. The last place where the fingertips passed left a dark red blood mark on the back of his hand.

The eyes that had just flashed with clarity completely lost their focus, and the pupils blurred into a dead gray.

"Sister Xingmei?" Lin Yu's voice trembled. The rich green light enveloped her body in vain, but it could no longer recall a trace of life.

The energy swirled around her body and then retreated back into his palm in a daze.

The dead cannot be healed, this is a rule that even abundance cannot break.

"Lin Yu!" Tibao's voice came from behind. She directed everyone to leave. Seeing that Lin Yu was still there, she urged, "Let's go! Long...Long is coming!"
