Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 183: Jade Slate

"The source of Changpan is at this lake."

Listening to the sound made by the unicorn beetle almost word by word, Shota felt very happy in his heart. Without saying anything sarcastic, he and Darkrai flashed into the lake.

This lake is different from ordinary lakes. It seems that it reflects all the light to the outside world. It is almost pitch dark under the water and there is no direction to be found.

At the same time, Shota used his super powers to sense his surroundings, and for some reason, he found some skeletons of unknown humans here.

Based on the size of these skeletons, we can know that the bodies of these humans when they were alive were basically the same size as those recorded in the last secret realm.

Just as Shota was thinking this, a huge repulsive force surged, as if trying to expel him from here.

However, as Shota gave orders to the unicorn beetle in his mind, this repulsive force slowly disappeared.

An attraction slowly led Shota to a place. In this place, Shota felt that there seemed to be a barrier in front of him. Looking through the barrier, in Shota's eyes, light slowly began to appear.

As Shota's already withered finger touched the screen, a familiar suction force surged.

Finally, this attraction brought Shota to a platform, and this place was no longer the underwater world. Shota had breathed fresh air.

But, apart from the light, there is no sun here?

Just as Shota was feeling confused, he came to the railing of the platform.

At this moment, a look of surprise appeared on his wrinkled face.

Standing in front of Shota was a huge ancient building, which looked like a huge palace from the overall perspective.

If I were to describe this palace, I could use a passage from the "Afang Palace Fu" that I was most reluctant to memorize in my previous life but had memorized: It covers more than 300 miles, blocking out the sun and the sky. Two rivers flow into the palace walls. Every five steps there is a building, every ten steps there is a pavilion; the corridors are winding and the eaves are high; each one follows the terrain, and they are scheming against each other. There are coils and whirlpools, like honeycombs and water vortices, and I don't know how many millions of them there are.

But now is not the time to take the literature exam. Shota shook off the messy thoughts in his mind, jumped down from the platform, and walked into the palace.

The gate of the palace is very large and tall, which was tailor-made for ancient people and is not surprising.

Along the way, Shota didn't find anything special here.

What’s even more strange is that the palace is relatively well preserved and basically has no damage.

Aside from the giant vines that climb up the structure, the palace is largely undecorated.

Following the direction led by the horn of the unicorn beetle, Shota arrived under the palace after turning several corners.

Walking down the stairs, Shota found the same description of Arceus as in the secret realm.

For some reason, Shota's heart began to beat wildly.

Continuing down the stairs, Shota came to a huge stone door. On the closed stone door, there was a picture of Arceus.

As if sensing someone's arrival, Arceus' eyes on the stone door flashed red, and then the huge stone door slowly opened automatically.

Through the crack in the door, Shota felt a familiar breath coming towards him.

As the stone door opened completely, Shota saw the towering steps and, at the top of the steps, the stone statue of Arceus.

Step by step, Shota finally reached the top of the stairs.

At this moment, a stone slab was lying quietly on the wall, emitting rich grass-type energy - emerald green slate.

And on the stone slab, there are intricate spells that Shota cannot understand, but this does not affect his judgment that the green gem embedded in the center of the formation spell is the core of the birth of the Evergreen Spirit.

Looking at the stone slab, the Spirit of Evergreen focused his gaze on the green gem. He seemed to recall something, and a happy smile appeared on the face of the Unicorn Beetle.

But when he saw Shota's evil and delighted expression from the side, he felt completely sick.

"Damn it, you evil little human, I will never help you recover your lost vitality. I will never do that. I am the Spirit of Evergreen who carries the will of all the Spirits of Evergreen!"

Feeling the rebellious will of the unicorn beetle in his head, Shota grinned. It was time to kill its soul and destroy its heart.

"Haha, what a ridiculous will. You think you can break free from my control. Don't brag about yourself so much."

As he spoke, Shota quietly increased his control over the unicorn beetle.

"How, could you, ah!"

The unicorn worm rolled on the ground in pain, feeling as if its brain was about to explode.

"Oh, that's too much. I haven't had enough fun yet."

Shota squatted down tremblingly, holding the green orb that he had dug out from the stone slab, and handed it to the black unicorn beetle's serrated mouth, saying, "Eat it, and eat the next generation of the Evergreen Spirit."

"No, no! No! If I do this, I will become the sinner who ruins the future of the entire Evergreen Spirit!"

The spirit of Evergreen roared inwardly, but his body moved involuntarily.

As the biting force on the green orb grew stronger, a crack began to appear in the middle of the orb that had nurtured countless generations of Evergreen Spirits.

Then, with a sound of Kaz, the orb broke into two halves.

Upon hearing this voice, Evergreen's spirit residing in the unicorn beetle's body became disheartened and gave up any resistance. Instead, it bit the orb, which had already been broken into two halves, with even greater force, madly biting it into pieces before swallowing it in big gulps.

The only sound that could be heard in the quiet hall was the chewing of the unicorn beetle Kazikazi, which sounded like an Evergreen spirit accusing.

As if he felt the scene before him was too cruel, Shota silently turned around and began to explore the hall with his super powers.

After a long while, the unicorn worm raised its head, and the black residue at the corner of its mouth was wiped off, as if it was afraid that it would not be able to completely eat its next generation.

After a moment's silence, the black unicorn worm let out a sharp laugh in human language: "Hahaha, hahaha!"

The shrill laughter lasted for a long time and only stopped after a long while.

The spirit of Tokiwa looked at Shota who had his back to him through the eyes of the black hornworm and said, "Without this bead, no matter how you order me, I can't help you restore your life! I can feel that your life is coming to an end. In less than a month, you will die from lack of vitality! Go to hell with regret!"
