Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 507 Saving Daigo

After leaving the Awakening Temple, Shota's expression did not improve due to the death of the elder. Instead, he frowned.

The elder is dead, and I may have escaped from the tiger's mouth, but the old guy mentioned by the elder is definitely not a simple person.

He had escaped from the tiger's mouth and fallen into a wolf's den. His body, stuck in the quagmire, showed no signs of loosening up, but was sinking deeper and deeper.

But now is not the time to worry about the old guy's existence. According to the latest intelligence transmitted from Shuijing, the Kanto region and the Johto region have already followed the wind and sounded the clarion call of war to the Hoenn region. The army is about to gather at the border of the Johto region, and a war is inevitable.

This is not only a suppression by the league due to its fear of the Lightning's growing power, but also a suppression by an old system due to its fear of a new system, a fierce collision between new ideas and old ideas.

However, the overall strength of the Hoenn region has been greatly reduced after repeated turmoil, and can even be described as dilapidated.

Shota clenched his five fingers into a fist, trying to gain some strength.

Sighing slightly, Shota looked up at Mikoli who was standing next to the command post tent.

Noticing Shota's gaze, Mikoli withdrew his gaze from the Glass People who were escorted together by the members of Team Lightning. As if he understood the meaning in Shota's eyes, Mikoli nodded slightly, then rode his Flying-type Pokémon back to his spaceship.

With the roar of the engine, the spaceship carrying Mikoli and Shota flew to Kanaz City.

……

After some twists and turns, the spaceship stopped at the airport in Kanaz City, and Mikoli guided Shota towards Meteor Falls.

Meteor Falls is a location in the Hoenn region, connecting Route 114 and Route 115. It is a large cave formed by a meteorite landing, with a waterfall inside.

After many twists and turns, Mikoli brought Shota to the deepest place of Meteor Falls, Meteor Village.

Meteor Village is located under the Meteor Falls and is a secluded village where the Meteor people live.

Mikoli led the way and said:

"Daigo is now imprisoned in the Dragon Clan's Forbidden Land, which is covered with frost all year round. It is used to punish dragon elves and meteor people who have committed serious faults."

As they spoke, the two of them soon came to a huge stone door, and Mikoli began to gesture with his hands.

Not long after, the stone door slowly opened to both sides, and then the two people walked in leisurely.

Feeling the chill blowing towards him, Shota couldn't help but speak:

"Can Daigo really survive in this environment?"

Hearing Shota's question, Mikoli nodded and explained:

“Although it’s a forbidden area for the dragon clan, it doesn’t mean that they don’t distribute food, but the chance of survival is relatively low.

And Daigo is just a member under house arrest, we still have to protect his life, and I secretly gave him a piece of top-grade fire stone, so there is no need to worry about him freezing to death."

Shota simply nodded slightly to Mikoli's explanation and continued walking forward.

Not long after, the two came to an empty cave, which was covered with condensed ice and frost, sticking to the rock walls of the cave, making it look extremely smooth and seemingly suitable for ice skating.

As Shota was thinking this, a faint red light appeared in his sight. That was the light emitted by the Fire Stone.

He used his super powers to disperse the icy fog in the cave. As the fog slowly dispersed, Shota saw Daigo huddled in a corner, gnawing on a piece of moldy black bread.

The Daigo in front of him no longer had the elegance, dignity and handsome appearance of the nobleman he once was.

His fingers looked rough due to frostbite, and he looked extremely haggard, dishevelled and unkempt, no longer having his former charm.

Ice crystals were forming wantonly on the ends of his hair, but he didn't care about it. Instead, he stared at Shota who was looking at him with his eyes, and made a sound with trembling lips.

"Shota?"

Shota nodded slightly in response.

Daigo almost cried out loud. He stood up excitedly, then slowly sat down again because he was so skinny.

A bitter smile appeared on Daigo's face and he shook his head helplessly.

"How pitiful, you have to see me in such an embarrassing state.

Mikoli, I didn't expect you to come too."

When Mikoli heard Daigo calling his name, he felt a pain in his heart.

"Daigo... I..."

Daigo waved his hand at Mikoli, interrupting him, and then he spoke:

“No need to say more, Mikoli, the fact that you brought Shota here shows that you have already thought clearly about the path you want to take in the future.

It doesn't matter whether I forgive you or not, you have already received the punishment you deserved.

You will live as a sinner.

You will spend the rest of your life atonement for Hoenn."

Listening to what Daigo said, Mikoli knelt down with a painful expression, tears flowing out of the corners of his eyes uncontrollably.

Shota didn't want to care about the love-hate relationship between the two friends. His eyes were always on the huge cave.

As far as the eye can see, there are several human figures not far from Daigo, but they have all turned into short white skeletons.

As if he had thought of something, Daigo said to Shota:

"Shota, you didn't kill all the people of Meteor, did you?"

Hearing the urgency in Daigo's words, Shota raised his eyebrows, a look of confusion on his face.

"Why? Did they abuse you and cause you to have a mental illness?"

After hearing what Shota said, Daigo rolled his eyes and explained:

“No, actually during the time I was imprisoned, I had a discussion with the Meteor People who were imprisoned here.

Some of them are unwilling to return to the surface, they don’t like to cause disputes… they are peace-loving…”

"Wait a moment."

Shota raised his hand to interrupt Daigo from saying the next thing and repeated what he had just said.

"I see that you look like you have developed a mental illness due to their abuse. You don't like to cause disputes and you love peace?

They are just a very small number of Meteor People, and among these very small number of Meteor People, there are only a few who can die heroically like the bones here.

Didn't they just go out and enjoy the benefits brought to them by other Meteor People?

On the one hand, they say they don't like disputes and love peace, but on the other hand, they enjoy the benefits of sin. To put it simply, isn't this like being a whore and trying to be a saint?"
