So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 222 Korni

Chapter 222 Korni

Korne was brought back to her senses by the slight tremor of the wall behind her.

Because it was a temporary mine shelter, the surrounding space was dark and narrow.

Because it was so dark, Korni couldn't even tell how many square meters the space was; the air was thick and murky.

With each breath, dust was inhaled into the lungs. It was stuffy and hot. The white tracksuit I was wearing was stained gray by coal dust, and sweat made the clothes stick to my body, making me extremely uncomfortable.

Korne regretted it. She shouldn't have taken Lucario to the jade gambling site after being swindled out of her travel money, hoping to cheat by using Aura to earn back the money. Then, she was chased and, in desperation, fled into the mine.

Korne gently shifted her body and turned her head. Beside her was a family of mice covered in dust. The smallest one had its eyes closed and its feverish forehead was resting on a towel.

The fever was caused by the injury.

In the confined space, there were five Pokémon that were unable to move due to their injuries. They were all brought out from Bisharp's camp. She originally thought that with her and Lucario's strength, she could easily defeat Bisharp and then leave with the Little Blacksmith's friends. And she did just that.

They went in and out seven times, how impressive!

The only problem was that she didn't know the way; the mine was too complicated and dark, and the Commanders of the Slashing Army were chasing her from behind.

Ahead of her was a Super Tyranitar, and from time to time, Drow Ranger, Diglett, and Adolphin would emerge from the walls. When Korrina came to her senses, she found that she had run out of healing potions and couldn't find her way out.

She was trapped in the mine.

The temperature in the room suddenly dropped. Korrina felt something grab her calf, but she wasn't scared. She whispered, "Gengar, is that you?"

"giegie."

A purple face appeared in the shadows. Gengar was an accomplice she encountered after entering the mine—or rather, a criminal. It was quite powerful, but Gengar seemed to be targeted by someone, which prevented it from leaving the mine.

Gengar opened its mouth, revealing a scarlet tongue, and pulled a chubby little hand out of its mouth a shriveled piece of bread and a small bottle of water.

Korne broke the bread into small pieces and chewed them carefully. The dry, hard bread contained sand, and the food wasn't particularly delicious, but she cherished it.

From the initial canned food, biscuits, and clean water, to now having to rely on food that Gengar scavenged from who-knows-where to fill their stomachs, the dark mine was filled with the sounds of dripping water and footsteps. She didn't know how much time had passed, only that her stomach had growled several times. Her phone had long since run out of battery, and even if it did, there was no signal in the mine.

God knows if anyone will come to rescue us from this closed mine.

It seemed that the food she had just swallowed had taken effect, and Korni regained some strength. She sighed and whimpered. She had come to Donghuang to cultivate, but she had ended up in this state.

"Lucario!" Lucario reached out his hand beside him and whispered words of comfort.

"I'm fine, this is just a little difficulty, it won't defeat me." Korne suppressed her urge to cry and forced a smile, but her aura wouldn't lie. They had reached a dead end. Lucario told her that he sensed a person's aura, which meant that someone might be coming to rescue them, but she wasn't sure if Lucario was lying to comfort her.

Waveguide? It couldn't possibly be that Grandpa came from Carlos to rescue her, could it?

Corne, who was leaving Carlos for the first time, wanted to go home.

As if things weren't going to go wrong, Lucario suddenly turned to look outside the rock wall, his nose twitching, his teeth bared, and he made a low snoring sound as the metallic clanging of ping-pong balls grew closer and closer.

Grandpa didn't come, but Commander Pi Zhan and the Koma Swordsmen did.

The sound lingered outside the cave, indicating that they had assumed this was their hiding place. They just hadn't yet considered that the cave dwellers would carve out a space within the walls to hide inside.

Then it suddenly became quiet outside the wall, and after a short while, there was a loud knocking sound.

Korne's heart skipped a beat.

They started trying to knock on the wall.

The sound drew closer, and soon their hiding place would be discovered.

"Lucario!" Lucario wanted to rush out and fight them for three hundred rounds, but Korrina held him back. There were too many Pokémon, and they kept coming. After one batch was dealt with, the next batch was even larger, and they were as disciplined as an army. Obviously, there was a huge underground community.

In comparison, she and Lucario lack stable logistics and have limited stamina.

"Lucario!" Lucario gently pushed Korne's hand away and pointed to her and his gloves.

If we use Mega Evolution, it might open up a way out.

"No!" Korrina refused. She and Lucario hadn't fully mastered the power of Mega Evolution.

A Lucario that loses its mind could cause the entire mine to collapse.

"Let's try again, this time in a different direction, and with everyone else, maybe we can escape." Korne struggled to her feet, determined to make a desperate attempt.

During the conversation, with a loud bang, a silver metal blade pierced through and tore through the rock wall.

Light streamed in, and in an instant the cave seemed to be brightly lit, but what illuminated them was not hope and rescue, but the torch in the commander's hand, and—hundreds of sharp amber eyes staring into the cave.

Covet.

In the silence, a mocking voice rang out.

An entire steel army, more than three times the previous total number, stretched all the way to the cave entrance.

Even if it's just one at a time, it would be enough to exhaust her and Lucario to death.

Staring at the blinding, menacing light, Korni felt her heart stop beating, her pupils constricted and trembled, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

It was too late; fear gripped his mind. Lucario stood before Korrina, managing to force himself into a fighting stance.

However, her arms and legs trembled slightly from fatigue and injury, and Korni closed her eyes tightly.

However, after waiting for a while, Korne did not feel any pain. She even wondered if she had died too quickly to feel anything.

Until she heard the screams of the soldiers with the daggers, and felt a scorching heat wave that evaporated the biting cold on her body, and with a blinding light, Korni opened her eyes tremblingly.

The scene before her eyes was beyond her imagination.

The blazing sun rose in the cave, carefully, slowly, and mercilessly rolling over the Piketo and Bisharp, leaving scorched marks and unconscious Pokémon in its wake. The Piketo collapsed in unison, as if run over by tank treads.

Such powerful moves are worlds apart from hers, and she is even no weaker than her grandfather.

The commander in front of him turned his head in terror, as if he had seen something horrifying.

Perhaps it was a monster. It shook its head, trying to turn and run away, but a black arm grabbed its foot and dragged it outside, screaming in agony.

"Pippa, go and rescue them."

"Wait a minute, let me deal with this little soldier."

Dangdang Dangdang!

"Why didn't you hand the hammer to the skilled blacksmith—you—do you really have to use the chisel yourself? Wanlong—what are you doing to that lowly soldier? Never mind, I'll do it myself."

"Huh, it's Cucumber? Oh right, the blonde foreign girl with Lucario, I should have guessed."

With a reassuring sound, a young man pressed against the wall and slipped through the crack into the door.

The moment their eyes met, Korni felt her heart, which had been stagnant, begin to beat, even faster than before. She could hear the thumping of her chest, and her blood became hot and surging. She could feel her cheeks and ears under her helmet gradually getting hot.

He is a very handsome man.

He had long, smooth black hair, gentle features, and a slender figure. Beneath his khaki miner's outfit, which was covered in pockets, one could vaguely see faint muscle lines, and a long whip hung at his waist.

He reached out his hand to her.

"Korne, can you stand up?"

Before Korne could answer, she felt her tense nerves suddenly relax, her vision dimmed, her eyes rolled back, and she fell straight down.

Wei Xin was shocked. He used a waveguide to check Ke Erni's body and quickly shouted, "She's lacking oxygen! Quickly, get an oxygen tank!"
