Chapter 198 Avalanche
Chapter 198 Avalanche
Satchel pressed the button on the explosives that the Rockets had planted in the Silver Mountain cave long ago.
That was the last surprise they left for Lu An and the others.
And Lu An and the others soon discovered this pleasant surprise.
"Boom!"
When Lu An looked up and heard the loud noise beside him, his expression completely changed:
"Sakaki, you son of a bitch!"
Lu An swore that this was the fastest reaction he had ever made in his limited life.
Almost instantly, he kicked Xiao Gang, who was lying on the ground, in the waist.
"what!"
He no longer cared about Xiaogang's screams or the fact that he might have broken his back with his kick.
Lu An could already hear the sound of stones falling inside the cave, and the figures of Pokémon rushing out of the cave in fright.
If they had been any slower, they would have lost their lives here!
"Gah!"
The Armored Raven automatically released a ball, its strong claws grabbing two researchers on either side, and then flapped its wings to take them into the air.
Exhausted, the researchers immediately tilted their heads down. During the Steel Raven's rapid short-distance sprint, they even felt as if all the blood in their bodies rushed into their brains at that moment.
"Buyi!"
The red orb on Espeon's forehead shone at its maximum, unleashing its full psychic power, quickly carrying four researchers and throwing them towards Swampert.
Like the Steel-Armored Raven, Lu An grabbed one person by the collar with each hand and led them out of the cave.
Although Lorelei is a girl, she is, after all, a seasoned Elite Four trainer.
Just half a step behind Lu An, Kona led the female researcher out of the cave where they were defending against the Pokémon horde.
"Fura!"
The Dewprik, which was battling a Pokémon, turned its head and blew a breath of cold air towards the collapsing cave.
Several icicles rose from the ground and directly touched the top of the cave.
Although the cave was still collapsing, it at least bought everyone some time to escape.
"Hey!"
Pidgeot, Tropius, and three other Pokémon landed beside Lu An as he ran out of the cave.
Bai Ling and the others, who had lost their way to the Firebird, finally arrived late!
"What's going on?"
Why are there so many Pokémon here?
"What were those explosions just now? Did any of you use 'self-destruct' in the cave?"
Lu An didn't have time to answer Bai Ling:
"Quick, everyone! Climb onto the flying Pokémon!"
Long Ze, who was slower than Bai Ling and the others and had just arrived with his Charizard, was stunned.
"What's wrong? Why are you going to attach yourself to a Pokémon that can fly?"
Lu An turned his head to look at the distance not far above the cave.
That place is the summit of Baiyin Mountain.
One reason why Baiyin Mountain is called Baiyin Mountain is that its summit is covered with snow that never melts, creating a vast expanse of white as far as the eye can see.
Normally, neither Pokémon nor humans would go to the frigid mountaintop to cause trouble.
However, when the bombs Team Rocket placed in the cave exploded, the strong tremors caused the snow on the summit of Silver Peak to tremble.
Lu An, who was near the Flamebird Cave, had already seen a bit of the snow line.
An avalanche is coming.
Why do the three Hoenn gods always evoke a level of awe and fear in humans that surpasses that of other deities?
It's not just because the Hoenn three gods possess great strength and a violent nature.
More importantly, each of their activities often brings about drastic environmental changes, which can also be called natural disasters.
Faced with natural disasters, even Pokémon enthusiasts and champion trainers appear vulnerable and easily defeated.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Get to Charizard and Corviknight!"
Everyone saw the snow line and heard the sound of an avalanche.
Their faces instantly turned as white as the snow.
Without Lu An giving any instructions, everyone sprang into action to save their own lives.
After being kicked by Lu An, Xiao Gang's previously limp body regained some vitality, and he managed to climb onto the tropical dragon's back.
Others also joined the investigators' Pokémon.
But they soon discovered something embarrassing.
It's important to understand that although Lu An's Vulcan Moth can fly, it is still just a moth and cannot carry people.
The only other Pokémon capable of carrying people in flight are Corviknight from Luan, Charizard from Longze, and Pidgeot, Tropius, and Braviary from the other three investigators—a mere five.
Neither Lorelei, the Elite Four member, nor Brock, the Rock Gym Leader, possesses a Pokémon capable of carrying people in flight.
But their team has more than five people!
Even if one Pokémon carries two people, it's still not enough to take them all up in the sky.
"Boom boom boom~"
The avalanche on Baiyin Mountain is getting closer and closer, and the original snow line has turned into a thick "cloud".
Lu An knew that if they dragged it out any longer, everyone would be buried by the avalanche.
So he immediately pushed Kona onto Corviknight:
"Corvus Raven, take flight!"
Lu An patted the Steel-Armored Raven's body, and the Steel-Armored Raven immediately understood.
It grabbed the two researchers with its claws.
As a result, the Corviknight suddenly had to bear the weight of three people, and even with its physical strength, it still struggled to fly.
However, this meant that the smaller Pidgeot, Braviary, and Charizard each had two people with them, while Tropius and Corviknight each had three.
Everyone except Lu An took to the air.
"Lu An, what about you!"
Kona poked her head out from on the back of the Corviknight, her face full of urgency.
"Top class! Hop on my Charizard's back!"
Long Ze reached out to Lu An, trying to bring Lu An onto the Charizard.
Lu An shook his head:
"Your Charizard is too small. If it carries three people, it definitely won't fly very high. It could easily be hit by an avalanche. Don't take the risk."
Lu An looked at Bai Lingke:
"The rest of you are in my care."
With that, Lu An abandoned everyone and turned to move in the horizontal direction of the avalanche.
He was so fast that he overtook even some four-legged Pokémon that were also fleeing for their lives.
"Gah!"
Corviknight longs to follow its trainer, but it also knows that as an investigator Pokémon, protecting ordinary people is its primary responsibility.
So, with its eyes red, it flapped its wings vigorously and carried Kona and the two researchers into the sky.
"Boom!"
The avalanche on Baiyin Mountain was so powerful that it tore apart the solid mountain road, and the surging white wave instantly submerged the entire valley.
Immediately, Kona and the others flying in the sky lost track of Lu An amidst the snow-covered landscape.
"Lu An!"
"Top Grade!"
"Mr. Lu!"
