Chapter 258 The sky is still dark
A persistent dark cloud hung over western Hunan. If it weren't for the occasional flashes of lightning within the clouds, Wei Xin would have even suspected that a typhoon was approaching.
The last time I saw a cloudy day was during the Hoenn incident, and before that, the Hunter J incident happened in Shanghai. Wei Xin doesn't really like cloudy days.
"This is an ominous sign!"
Wei Xin muttered something to himself, then turned his gaze back to the dining table. After handing the documents and intelligence to Miss Officer Jenny, they went to a restaurant for dinner, though it was more like a late-night snack.
"Don't be so ominous, open your mouth," Mary picked up a piece of sliced pork chop and carefully brought it to Wei Xin's lips as if caring for her immature child. "Ah~"
Because of the intense battle that night (although most of his injuries were friendly fire), Wei Xin was covered in bandages, gauze, and plasters, and his right hand was even in a cast.
This refers to a state where the individual can take care of themselves, but cannot be completely independent.
but!
"I'm just injured, not broken. Can you please stop treating me like a child?" Wei Xin thought to himself, furious.
But he still opened his mouth.
"Ah~"
Enjoying the feeling of being taken care of, the meat steak in my mouth has an unusual taste. Could it be maternal love?
Mary, she's the kind of woman who could be my mother! (chewing)
Gardevoir did the same. With a snap of its fingers, the prawns on the table shed their shells and jumped into the minced garlic, landing one by one on Wei Xin's plate.
Namo San, how fortunate I am to be cared for by two such wonderful women.
He was also petting Sylveon in his arms.
Blessed!
Ignoring the pile of dog food on her plate, Korny hugged Rotom and analyzed the battle in the forest at night. She then turned to look at the person next to her, who had dealt the most damage that night, Bea.
Just as badly the Wrestler Hawkman was beaten by Gardevoir, so badly Wei Xin was beaten by Cai Dou.
"It's my fault, I admit it!" Cai Dou readily admitted her mistake, her face calm and composed, showing no sign of anything strange. She simply continued picking up food without touching it.
Something's fishy.
"By the way, Master, how did you finally awaken Rainbow Bean's consciousness?" Korni asked curiously.
Click!
Cai Dou's chopsticks broke as she recalled what had happened in the mountains.
Her first kiss was stolen by her friend's boyfriend.
If others find out about this...
She looked at Wei Xin's face and felt his hardened heart waver.
Please don't tell.
"Just a little bit of Taoist magic," Wei Xin said without changing his expression.
"Pikachu?" The senior disciple, who was eating spring rolls with ketchup at the table, was slightly taken aback.
Does Wudang Mountain have this kind of Taoist magic?
"Oh!" Korni didn't press the matter further.
Wei Xin looked at Gladio, who was banging his head on the table with a regretful expression.
"Gracio, how's it going on your end?"
"Ah, about this matter—" Gladio recounted the events of the night.
In short, Gladion gets entangled with Nihilego, is rescued by Tessa, and finally gets a beating from his own mother.
The only two gains from his trip down the mountain were being misunderstood by his mother as having a liking for women's clothing and accepting his mother's personality correction. No wonder he was so shocked that he started speaking normally again.
I hope the child can get out of this trauma soon.
However, Wei Xin's attention was not on Lusamine and Ultra Beast.
Could she be the Iron Warrior who hunts the Ultimate Beast?
Wei Xin turned to look at Gardevoir beside him. According to the notes, in the future, he transformed Gardevoir into Iron Warrior for various reasons.
Moreover, judging from Gladio's description, the Iron Warrior was seriously injured.
If that really was his Pokémon—Wei Xin felt a pang of heartache.
"Sana?"
Gardevoir tilted its head, a great look of confusion in its amber eyes. Was its wound hurting again?
Wei Xin shook his head.
Having walked from the future to the present, scarred and battered, how much suffering has this little girl endured outside?
It's time to bring the child home.
"So what should we do with this child?" Cai Dou looked warily to the side. The special night patrol spirit that had entered the city with Wei Xin was now squatting in a corner, not saying a word.
He simply followed Wei Xin, his gaze never leaving him, as if he were spying on him.
Stare~
"Toot-ee." Togepi walked over to Nightwatch, and under Nightwatch's puzzled gaze, flipped open the eggshell, took out cookies and an energy cube, and handed them to Nightwatch.
The Night Watcher tilted its head, puzzled, until it saw Togepi put food in its mouth. Then it took the Power Cube and began to chew, imitating Togepi.
good to eat!
A childlike expression of joy appeared on his face.
It's quite cute. Wei Xin guessed that this night patrolling spirit was probably related to the Night Demon. As for why it was following him, he wasn't quite sure.
Furthermore, the form of this Night Watcher proves that Dusknoir is a Pokémon unique to the Eastern Kingdom, rather than a branching evolution that occurs under special conditions, like Scyther and Scizor.
"Let me manage it for now," Wei Xin said. "My constitution is immune to the effects of corpse poison and ghost energy, so the Night Patrol Spirits pose no threat to me."
"Everyone, go back and rest tonight. You're free to do whatever you want tomorrow, but don't leave the ancient city. Senior Brother, can you come out with me tomorrow?"
"Pikachu!" The eldest brother readily agreed.
"Master, are you planning to investigate the whereabouts of the Night Demon yourself?" Korni asked.
"Hmm," Wei Xin nodded. Even with a trained Dusknoir, there would be some reservations, but who knows what consequences a wild Dusknoir might cause? "Dukenoir can only move at night, so I plan to go out during the day to see if I can find any clues."
"Then I'll go with you, so we can look out for each other," Korne said.
"No," Wei Xin refused firmly, shaking the cast on his right hand. "Do you think I can rescue you from the control of the Night Demon in my current condition?"
If he gets another beating, he'll really become a cripple, confined to a wheelchair every day, enjoying the days of being cared for by Mara and Gardevoir.
Korne pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
"I'm sorry!" Aya lowered her head in disappointment.
"Then I'll go out of town with you," Mary suggested. "I have the bad frogs to take care of me, and my physical strength isn't as good as Rainbow Bean and the others. Even if I'm controlled, I won't pose a threat to you."
"Okay." After a brief hesitation, Wei Xin agreed. At least he wouldn't have any psychological burden when kissing Mary. His only worry was whether Mary would become suspicious.
No one else had any objections. They couldn't help with the matter of the Night Demon Spirit; in fact, they might even be a hindrance to Wei Xin.
After letting the Pokémon rest at the Pokémon Center, everyone parted ways. Considering the next day's mission, Gladion moved out of the room, and Marie moved in.
However, the two of them did nothing; even Wei Xin's body cleaning was done by the scoundrel frog.
The "Bad Frog" bath scrubber is so good that people from Northeast China who have tried it all say it's great.
Afterwards, Wei Xin lay on the bed, exhausted, and with his only remaining hand, he hugged the fragrant and soft Mary and kissed her passionately.
"Wait, don't touch me! You haven't recovered yet. Let's talk about it after you're healed."
"Touching it a couple of times will lift your spirits and help with your recovery."
"Don't listen to your nonsense!"
Mary sighed, and out of consideration for Wei Xin's injury, she let his restless hands roam over her body, even actively responding to them.
Whether it's a boy or a girl, as long as they are normal people, they are mostly easy to coax, even easy to deceive.
Before long, their bodies were pressed together, and they closed their eyes.
The room was filled with steady breathing.
Shadows flickered in the corner as the night watchman stealthily crept up to the two people's bedside.
Is this a prelude to an attack?
You are a naturally evil night watchman.
Wei Xin tightened his arm slightly but didn't move, wanting to see what the Night Watcher was planning to do.
If it intends to attack him and Mary, Wei Xin will capture it on the spot without hesitation.
However, the Night Watcher simply lay on Wei Xin, rolled between the two of them, closed its eyes, and soon fell asleep, as peacefully as a child in its parents' arms.
Wei Xin breathed a sigh of relief, but remained puzzled.
Could this night watchman be the child of a night demon and a wandering night spirit?
The truth must be hidden in the tomb.
Wei Xin closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep. In his daze, strange sounds came to his mind.
"It is a pity that two people in love cannot grow old together. Well, since this old Taoist priest is passing by, I will find a good place in these mountains for you two to be buried together, so that the resentment in your mouths can be dispelled and you can go to the Yellow Springs together."
The dream didn't last long before Wei Xin heard sounds coming from outside the hotel.
Faintly, a firelight could be seen.
The awakened night watchman jumped out of bed and scrambled to a corner, trembling with fear. His actions woke Mary, who was still asleep.
"What's wrong?" Mary asked, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
Wei Xin got out of bed and went to the window. He saw a group of residents and trainers gathered at the gate of the ancient city, holding Poké Balls and flashlights, and were furious.
He shouted, "The Night Demon must be destroyed!"
