Chapter 101: This is a Terrorist Attack
The Haunted House Bai Feng and the others went to was called Police. It was quite large, with different types of venues, each housing a different type of haunted house.
For example, there was a haunted house based on a real event, where the protagonist was killed in the house and turned into a Vengeful Ghost to harm people.
There were also haunted houses based on historical events, haunted houses adapted from fairy tales, haunted houses featuring Ghost-type Pokémon, and video projection type haunted houses. In short, they were all very realistic and terrifying.
Bai Feng wasn't interested in the haunted houses involving technology; he just wanted to see the type where Ghost-type Pokémon played the roles.
After paying the Fee, Bai Feng and his group were led by a staff member to the Ghost-type Pokémon themed Haunted House.
This Haunted House was only moderately popular among all the Haunted Houses, so there weren't many people queuing. Soon, it was Bai Feng and their turn.
The architecture of this Haunted House was a Castle. As soon as Bai Feng and the others entered the Door, they were in the Hall.
The light inside was dim, making the entire Environment shadowy and indistinct. Coupled with the Red Carpet in the Hall, which was as red as Blood, it indeed gave off a creepy feeling.
The Red Carpet wasn't clean; there were many dark spots on it, somewhat resembling Bloodstains left after Blood had dried.
The walls around the Hall were covered with Oil Paintings. All the paintings were portraits of people. According to the Haunted House's theme introduction, these people should be the past Owners of the Castle, both male and female.
Among them, the most scared were surprisingly not the two Espurr, but Primarina. It was quietly sitting on Bai Feng's leg, its Body trembling uncontrollably, yet trying to put on a brave face as if saying, "I'm not scared at all."
Whoosh~~~
Just then, the Doors and windows of the Castle suddenly made clattering sounds. A gust of cold Wind immediately blew into the Hall, causing the curtains to sway wildly with the Wind, making the Environment look even more terrifying.
"Ahhh..." Primarina cried. "Bai Feng, look, quickly look, that person's eyes just moved."
Primarina frantically patted Bai Feng's thigh, screaming non-stop.
His thigh was being patted too painfully, so Bai Feng pulled Primarina off and looked at the Oil Painting it was pointing at.
"Where did it move?" Bai Feng asked, confused. He then looked at the other Pokémon, "Did you see it?"
Bai Ye, Hatterene, and the Espurr siblings all shook their heads.
"See? It's just your imagination," Bai Feng said, spreading his hands.
Actually, he knew it wasn't necessarily Primarina's imagination; it was possible that Ghost-type Pokémon were secretly causing trouble, but he didn't mention it.
Teasing Primarina was quite fun.
Bai Ye actually saw the eyes in that painting move, but it also saw the Banette hiding behind the Oil Painting through its Psychic Power, so it pretended not to see anything.
Teasing Primarina was quite fun.
It had to be said, the mother and son were on the same wavelength.
Could it really have been my eyes playing tricks on me?
Primarina couldn't help but think this, but it was still a little scared, so it quietly stuck close to Bai Feng again.
"Alright, let's keep moving forward. Next should be going up to the Second Floor, right?" Bai Feng said.
Bai Ye nodded.
So Bai Feng led the few Pokémon up the spiral staircase covered with the Red Carpet.
Just then, a loud clatter came from Below. Primarina was startled and instantly darted into Bai Feng's arms.
"Ahhh, it's happening again!" Primarina cried.
Bai Feng and the others looked down. It turned out to be just an Oil Painting that had been blown off the wall by the Wind.
Bai Feng patted Primarina's belly: "Look how scared you are. Is it that bad?"
Primarina shook its head vigorously and clung tightly to Bai Feng's shoulders, refusing to come down.
Helpless, Bai Feng had no choice but to hold it. Anyway, Primarina wasn't heavy.
Bai Ye glanced at Primarina. You little girl, are you doing this on purpose? Trying to take advantage of my precious?
If Primarina knew Bai Ye's thoughts, it would definitely cry out in injustice. Its little brain couldn't hold that much scheming.
Primarina trembled all the way, and Bai Feng and the others finally reached the Second Floor of the Castle.
The Environment on the Second Floor was even dimmer than the first. As soon as Bai Feng and the others exited the stairs, they were faced with a long Corridor. The end of the Corridor was pitch black; they couldn't see what was ahead at all.
Whether it was a trick of the light or not, Primarina felt like a dark shadow had just flashed by. It couldn't help but hold Bai Feng even tighter.
ε=ε=(((＞Д＜)ノノ!! Begone, monsters!
Bang~ Bang~ Bang~
Just then, a row of candles hanging on the wall suddenly lit up automatically. The dim candlelight finally managed to illuminate the Corridor.
Ever since Bai Feng awakened his Psychic Power, his senses had become much sharper. He quickly Discovered that these candles were all Litwick in disguise.
Ghost-type Pokémon were always rare. Bai Feng didn't know where the Owner of this Haunted House managed to get so many.
"Alright, we can go now," Bai Feng said to everyone.
While Bai Feng and the others were "braving" the Haunted House, a conversation was taking place in a Castle in the center of the Haunted House.
A woman sitting behind an Office desk was leaning back in a Chair with her legs crossed, saying, "The Quality of the Fear Emotion brought by the Haunted House has been getting lower recently. My darlings are a little unhappy."
The woman had long, light brown wavy hair and was wearing a black tight leather suit. She had a full figure and a seductive posture. She was the Boss of this Haunted House—Margaret.
"Jie jie jie jie..."
As Margaret's words fell, a Froslass with a gloomy expression floated out from behind the Chair she was leaning on. It kept letting out strange laughs.
The appearance of the Froslass caused the temperature in the entire Office to drop by several degrees. A man in a suit standing in the Office couldn't help but shiver.
The man in the suit was about twenty years old, with naturally curly black shoulder-length hair. His gaze towards Margaret showed respect.
"Lady Margaret, should we release those two Pokémon? Their uncontrolled Situation is getting more and more serious recently; they've almost completely lost their minds. We might as well make use of them," the man in the suit said.
Margaret pondered for a few seconds before saying, "That's fine too. Those two guys are quite Strong. I hope they can give me a little surprise."
The man in the suit said, "They definitely won't disappoint you, my lady."
Margaret nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, Doctor, I'll leave this Matter to you."
"Yes, please rest assured, my lady," the man in the suit named Doctor replied respectfully, then bowed and slowly exited the Office.
After Doctor left, Margaret pulled the Froslass towards her with a smile on her face and said, "Little Snow, you'll soon get to taste more delicious Fear. Are you looking forward to it?"
The Froslass hugged Margaret happily upon hearing this.
Meanwhile, Bai Feng and the others finally came out of the Haunted House. Primarina was completely limp and collapsed on the Ground.
Bai Feng said with a chuckle, "It was all just scenes acted out by Ghost-type Pokémon. I don't know what you were so scared of. You don't seem scared of Gastly or them at Home normally!"
"How is that the same!" Primarina said. "And you guys ganged up to trick me, that's too much!"
Primarina looked furious.
"Alright, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again in the future. Can you forgive me, your humble servant?" Bai Feng bowed and apologized to Primarina.
Primarina finally caught its breath and lifted its chin high: "Seeing how sincere you are, it's not impossible to forgive you."
"Then shall we go to the next venue?" Bai Feng suddenly asked again.
"Ahhh, Bai Feng, are you doing this on purpose!" Primarina cried frantically, trying to hit him. Bai Feng took off running.
"Hahaha..."
Under Primarina's firm protest, Bai Feng and the others naturally didn't go to the next Haunted House.
The group came out of the Haunted House and sat down on a bench on the Street Side.
"Do you guys want something to drink? I remember there's a Milk Tea Shop nearby, a very famous one," Bai Feng asked everyone.
"I want some!" Bai Ye raised a hand.
"And me, I want some too!"
Primarina said impatiently.
"Then I'll have a cup too."
Hatterene said, following the crowd.
"Okay, what do you want to drink?" Bai Feng asked.
Upon hearing this, the Pokémon all placed their orders. Hatterene also ordered something for the Espurr siblings.
"Alright, you guys rest here for a bit, I'll be right back," Bai Feng said, then headed towards the Milk Tea Shop.
"I'm going too!"
Primarina quickly trotted after him.
At the same Time, a Murkrow was slowly flying into the City Center, holding two Poké Balls.
In an Alley not far from where Bai Ye and the others were resting, the Murkrow stopped. It looked left and right, and seeing no one around, it opened the two Poké Balls.
As two red Beams flashed, a giant Steelix and a Coalossal covered in smoke appeared on the Street.
"Roar~"
"Tan~"
With two angry roars, the two Pokémon rushed out of the Alley and rampaged through the Street. Their bodies were huge, and soon several buildings were knocked down by them.
"Ahhh!!!"
"What's going on? Where did these Pokémon come from?"
"Whose Pokémon are causing trouble?"
...
Soon, the Street was in chaos.
The Situation of the two Pokémon was clearly not right. Their eyes were red, their expressions were frantic, and their faces were full of destructive and aggressive intent.
"Puff puff puff..."
The Coalossal suddenly shot out streams of sticky Asphalt from its Body, carrying scorching heat, splashing it indiscriminately on the Street. The surfaces of many buildings were melted by this high-temperature Asphalt.
Some pedestrians who couldn't dodge in Time were even scalded by the splashing Asphalt.
"Ahhh..."
"Run, run!"
"Help, someone save me!"
...
The Street was filled with wails.
The Steelix not far away wasn't idle either. It lifted its Tail and fiercely struck a large building. With a loud boom, half of the building was instantly smashed.
It lifted its Tail again and struck the Ground. The Ground instantly cracked in lines, leaving a Deep Pit.
"Trainers, where are the Trainers? Let's work together to subdue these two Pokémon!"
Just then, a Trainer stepped forward, and many Trainers responded, throwing out their Poké Balls.
For a Time, Razor Leaf, Water Gun, Thunderbolt, and other colorful Skills were fired at the two Pokémon.
But the Trainers underestimated the Strength of the Steelix and Coalossal. Their attacks not only failed to defeat the two Pokémon but made them even more frantic.
"Roar~"
The Steelix roared, opened its mouth, and spat out a silver Beam, sweeping across. Everything in its path, all the Pokémon, were engulfed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
For a Time, explosions were endless. A large number of Pokémon lost their Combat Ability under this attack.
It was only because this Steelix's special attack ability wasn't strong and wasn't very compatible with Flash Cannon; otherwise, who knows how many Pokémon and Trainers would have suffered casualties from this attack.
The Coalossal wasn't idle either. It emitted thick black smoke from its Body, and the Rocks on its Body turned red under the entwining of Flame. Immediately, pieces of scorching Rock shot out from its Body, not only collapsing a large amount of buildings but also causing a Fire.
The Couriway Town Police Station and the Fire Department received the Notice immediately, but just as they were about to rush to the scene of the incident, a group of Houndour and Houndoom with twisted expressions blocked their way.
The Situation of this group of Houndour and Houndoom was the same as the Steelix and Coalossal.
Officer Jenny saw this group of Pokémon and frowned instantly, seeming to think of something. Then she waved her small hand and said to her subordinates behind her:
"Finish the fight quickly!"
A great battle thus erupted.
The Situation with the Steelix and Coalossal became increasingly severe. Their Strength was too high, and they were completely irrational. Many Trainers' attempts failed to subdue them.
The two Pokémon gradually became unsatisfied with destroying buildings. They noticed each other and immediately ignited a strong desire for battle.
Boom!
The two Pokémon crashed into each other with lightning speed, and the resulting airwave caused large-scale destruction again.
Bai Feng had walked quite a distance to find the Milk Tea Shop. He had just gotten his Milk Tea when he suddenly heard an explosion in the distance.
He looked up and saw two giant Pokémon suddenly appear and start destroying things indiscriminately.
"This is bad!"
Realizing that Bai Ye and Hatterene were nearby, he took off running.
"I'm going too!"
Primarina even threw away the Milk Tea it had just gotten and chased after Bai Feng with whimpers.
Bai Ye and the others were too close to where the battle erupted. A large building not far from them collapsed with a crash under the Steelix's impact. Stones flew everywhere, smashing down Below.
"Ahhhhh..."
Screams were everywhere.
A piece of rubble flew rapidly towards Hatterene. The Espurr siblings reacted in Time, using their Psychic Power together to intercept the Stone in mid-air.
There were too many falling Stones. A huge piece of broken building suddenly smashed down not far away, right where a mother with a child was standing Below.
Bai Ye was greatly frightened by this scene and instinctively used its Psychic Power to hold up that piece of building.
"Hurry and leave!" Bai Ye shouted at the mother and child.
The mother and child had just been scared silly by the sudden Situation. It wasn't until they heard Bai Ye's shout that they panicked and ran away.
The falling building was too huge. Bai Ye's Expression turned red as it barely managed to hold it up.
Only after the mother and child ran far away did Bai Ye find an empty Place and smash the building there.
