Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 182: Changpan Origin

After listening to the inner monologue of the so-called Tokiwa Spirit, Shota said something puzzling: "Hahaha! It turns out that all this is the root of the trouble I planted! No! It's you! No, it's me, this is all my fault!"

Looking at Shota who was already mad as he scratched his pale hair, the black hornworm felt that this guy was going to kill him in the next second.

But, to his surprise, Shota suddenly fell to the ground, and at this time, the roar of a motorcycle was heard in the distance.

"Those policemen named Junsha are here. I'm saved!"

The spirit of Tokiwa thought this in his heart, and struggled to raise his head to look at Shota, with a bloodthirsty light in his eyes.

"I don't know why, but I suddenly want to eat this devil."

Just as the Spirit of Evergreen was thinking this, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of him and knocked him unconscious.

……

In the darkness, Shota saw a blurry figure reaching out to him with her inhuman hand, but was blocked by an invisible wall.

She took one last look at him and seemed to want to make a sound, but ripples appeared on the lake surface...

Shota slowly opened his eyes, and as he focused, his blurry vision gradually became clear.

For some reason, Shota felt that this rock wall was somewhat familiar.

Sensing that Shota had awakened, Darkrai took back the banana leaf filled with water, took a step back, and waited for Shota's order.

After licking the spring water at the corner of his mouth, Shota took a deep breath for a while, then used his superpowers to sit up against the rock wall.

"How many days have I been unconscious?"

"A day or so."

"Is that so?"

Shota took a breath and continued to ask, "Where is the bug?"

After hearing what Shota said, Darkrai took out a red and white Poké Ball from his body that looked like black mist and said, "That black bug was trying to escape while you were unconscious. I knocked it unconscious and threw it into this ball."

Shota took the Poké Ball handed over by Darkrai and released it with an indifferent look.

Because the Poké Ball was locked, Evergreen had no idea what was happening outside, so when he appeared on the ground with a flash of white light, the first thing he did was look around.

When his eyes met Shota's cold gaze, he realized his situation.

He was like a worm. No, he was a worm right now. He was probably frightened by Shota's eyes. He crawled on the ground, seemingly begging for mercy: "Please, let me go. When I find a way to get out of this body, I will definitely give you the power of Tokiwa."

However, he may not know that Shota can already hear his inner voice:

"When I find a way to get out of this damn body and when the Evergreen Forest returns to its original state, I will definitely train a more powerful Pokémon to kill you."

Tears welled up in the black unicorn beetle's eyes, making it look pitiful.

Shota showed a surprised expression on his face, and asked in confusion: "So you really are conscious, but what do you mean by that?"

After hearing what Shota said, Tokiwa Spirit realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. Just as he was about to explain, he saw Shota stroking his chin as if he had thought of something.

Then, the Spirit of Evergreen heard the words he least wanted to hear: "So you're still alive. Didn't you use up all your life energy last time? Could it be that you didn't cure her last time?"

Looking at the displeasure in Shota's eyes, and the hint of murderous intent.

The Spirit of Evergreen trembled inwardly, feeling as if he was being stared at by a Spearow.

"Well, I, I actually still have some backup life energy, yes, that's it."

"Oh, is that so?"

Shota said with sudden realization.

The black unicorn beetle found that his pale reason was actually believed, and he quickly responded, "Yes, that's it."

As if he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, Shouta mentioned the power of Tokiwa that you mentioned before.

"You said you would grant me the power of Evergreen. Is that true?"

After hearing what Shota said and seeing the cunning look in Shota's eyes, Tokiwa's spirit felt that his life was saved.

Looking at the wrinkles on Shota's forehead and the mottled white hair on his head, the Spirit of Tokiwa remembered the strange formation that still made him a little frightened.

"This demon has become what he is now. It is estimated that his life span was shortened by the blood-red formation. Why didn't such an evil guy die earlier?"

The spirit of Tokiwa sighed inwardly, and seeing Shota's expectant eyes, he could only say in a perfunctory manner, "Yes."

As if he had heard the answer he wanted, Shota showed a very surprised expression on his face, and murmured:

"Okay, that's great."

Hearing what Shota said, a look of sarcasm flashed in the black unicorn's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

Just as he was about to continue to paint a rosy picture for Shota, he suddenly heard these words come out of Shota's mouth:

"Since you can give me the power of Evergreen, then you must know where the source of the power of Evergreen is, right?"

The spirit of Changpan suddenly felt a chill on his back, and his whole body began to tremble. It seemed that his soul was also trembling at these words that made him feel cold.

"How would I know... I know where the source of Evergreen's power is."

Hearing his own insincere words, the Spirit of Evergreen immediately shut his mouth.

But all this was in vain in Shota's eyes.

As the command in his mind was activated, the Spirit of Evergreen felt that this body was involuntarily moving outward.

Shota straightened his waist which was beginning to hunch over and slowly stood up from the ground.

"It's too slow for him to walk like this, Darkrai. Go hold him and stay hidden. I'll let him lead the way."

Shota touched his head with his hand and couldn't help but sigh: "It was almost a disaster again. This rapid aging has had a great impact on me."

Shota looked at his arms which were beginning to become dry and was silent for a moment, as if he had thought of something.

But not long after, he used his super powers and Darkrai to leave the cave.

……

Due to the abnormal situation that occurred a few days ago, the Evergreen Forest has been closed and is being investigated by special staff.

However, Shota and Darkrai, who was holding the hornworm, still sneaked in.

Looking at an investigator not far away, the hornworm's serrated mouthparts opened and closed, as if it wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

Shota seemed to feel very sorry for his inability to make a sound. He touched his horn with his hand and said, "Point me in the direction."

Uncontrollably, the black unicorn beetle pointed its horn in one direction.

Following the direction pointed by the unicorn, Shota and Darkrai, who was holding the black unicorn beetle, came to a hidden lake.
