## Chapter 102: A Bug in the Darkness Quietly Reaches Out to You
Although Bai Ye had saved the mother and child, too many broken buildings had fallen, and the aftermath of the battle between the two Pokémon was too widespread. Countless people were in danger and had no time to escape.
Bai Ye had no choice but to continuously use Psychic Power to help passersby who were in danger.
Hatterene couldn't use moves, so it could only panic and run around holding the Espurr siblings. Bai Ye told it to quickly find Bai Feng, but Hatterene had no idea where Bai Feng was.
Rocks, Asphalt, and Flame kept smashing down. The two Espurr also continuously used Psychic Power to protect Hatterene.
However, the Espurr siblings were only Pokémon Cubs born not long ago. Even if their Mental Power started relatively high, it was still limited, and they quickly began to look a bit listless.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Grandpa Fu received news that Pokémon were causing trouble in Couriway Town's City Center. He didn't hesitate for a moment, immediately prepared his Pokémon, and set off riding a Tropius.
Tropius knew the situation was urgent, so it flew towards the City Center at top speed.
At the same time, above the Castle at the Haunted House Center, Margaret and Bo Shi were standing at the highest point, watching the two Pokémon causing chaos in the distance with interest.
"Well done," Margaret praised Bo Shi. She took a morbid deep breath, her face intoxicated, and said, "I seem to already smell the Taste of Fear. Little Xue will definitely like it."
After speaking, she looked at her shadow, where a Froslass slowly floated out.
"Nah~"
Froslass nodded while staring greedily at the distance, where a scent that intoxicated Pokémon had already begun to spread.
Bai Feng rushed as fast as he could and finally arrived at the scene of the incident. However, as soon as he got there, what he saw was a broken Stone smashing towards the Espurr siblings.
Originally, Hatterene was running away with the Espurr siblings just fine, but Hatterene was too panicked and actually tripped over a lamppost lying by the road. The Espurr siblings were thrown out of its arms.
It was at this moment that a Rock, burned red-hot, smashed down, its target precisely being Hatterene.
The Espurr siblings used their last bit of Power and finally managed to shatter that Stone, but immediately after, a second Stone smashed towards them.
"Brionne!" Bai Feng shouted.
"Xi Lai!"
Brionne opened its mouth and spat out a Water Gun, successfully shattering the Stone that was smashing towards the Espurr siblings.
But before Bai Feng and Hatterene could be happy, a building suddenly collapsed with a roar, and countless rubble instantly buried the Espurr siblings.
It turned out that Steelix had used the Earthquake Move to attack Coalossal. The intense vibration caused the Hotel behind the Espurr siblings, which was already on the verge of collapse, to directly fall. The Ruins instantly buried the siblings.
Not only the Hotel behind the siblings, but countless buildings in the City Center also collapsed due to that Earthquake just now, causing innumerable casualties.
"Rim? Rim!!!"
Hatterene looked at everything before it in disbelief. It quickly scrambled up from the Ground and ran all the way to the front of the Ruins, constantly using its Hands (braids) to dig through the rubble, hoping to find the Espurr siblings.
But the Ruins of a collapsed building were simply too large. For a moment, Hatterene didn't even know which direction to start digging from.
"Hatterene!"
Bai Feng ran to Hatterene's side with Brionne, wanting to search for the Espurr siblings with it, but also didn't know how to start.
Just then, Bai Feng suddenly sensed that something was wrong around them. The rubble on the Ground began to vibrate violently, some even turning directly into powder during the vibration.
He subconsciously turned his Head to look at Hatterene, only to see that Hatterene's eyes had turned completely red at some point. The space around its Body was even beginning to distort.
As an Esper, Bai Feng immediately sensed that a powerful and terrifying Psychic Power was emanating from Hatterene. Didn't he see that even space was distorting because of it?
"Ahhhh!!!!"
Hatterene suddenly remembered something, and its Expression instantly became extremely ugly, while its expression became distorted and painful.
With a "boom," Bai Feng saw the entire Ruins left of the Hotel before him suddenly explode, and the area in front of him was instantly cleared, completely clean.
This was Hatterene's masterpiece.
Bai Feng hadn't expected that Hatterene had such powerful Power hidden within it.
However, at this moment, Hatterene had lost its mind under the dominance of emotions like Anger, Sadness, and Fear. It suddenly turned its Head to look at the battling Coalossal and Steelix, its eyes filled with coldness.
In its heart, there was only one thought now: to kill the two Culprits who had harmed the Espurr siblings.
Under Bai Feng's shocked gaze, Hatterene floated up and flew directly towards the battling Coalossal and Steelix.
If Mental Power is not strong enough, Psychic-type Pokémon cannot fly using their own Power, just like Bai Ye before.
But Hatterene, having just recovered its Psychic Power due to stimulation, managed to do the same, which was simply incredible.
"Hatterene!"
Bai Feng called out to it, but Hatterene didn't respond.
"Meow~"
"Meow~"
Not long after Hatterene left, Bai Feng heard two cat calls from behind him. He turned around and was surprised to find that it was the Espurr siblings.
Bai Feng said happily, "That's great, you two are okay!"
"Meow~"
"Meow meow~"
The Espurr siblings nodded simultaneously.
It turned out that the moment the Hotel collapsed, they were coincidentally covered by a metal bowl-shaped object decorated on the Hotel rooftop, so they had been safe all along, just stuck in the Ruins and unable to get out.
Hatterene's angry strike just now had blown away the Ruins, and the Espurr and the metal bowl were also blown away, but they also luckily escaped.
"That's great, Hatterene will be happy to know you're still alive."
After hearing the Espurr's story, Bai Feng said happily.
On the other side, Hatterene had already flown above Coalossal and Steelix and stopped between them.
The two huge Pokémon were still obliviously fighting each other and didn't notice the small Hatterene at all.
Although it had lost its mind, Hatterene's demeanor was extremely calm, without a single extra expression on its face, only coldness.
Hatterene's eyes suddenly flashed with a purple-to-black light, and it began to enter a Meditate state.
Since Coalossal and Steelix ignored it, it took the opportunity to continuously strengthen itself. After a period of Time, Hatterene's Special Attack ability was strengthened to the extreme.
After the strengthening ended, Hatterene looked up at the Sky. Two whirlpools suddenly appeared in the Sky, hanging above Coalossal and Steelix, one on the left and one on the right.
These two poor guys didn't care about anything else, only thinking about fighting.
Bang! Bang!
Two incredibly huge white light rings suddenly shot out from the whirlpools, hitting Coalossal and Steelix directly on the Head.
This was the Psychic-type ultimate Move, Future Sight. Without extremely high Mental Power Strength, such a Skill could not be used at all.
Coalossal and Steelix were immediately knocked to the Ground, their Heads dizzy from being struck by the light rings. They thrashed twice, trying to get up, but then Hatterene's eyes emitted purple light again.
Psychic!
A purple light circle quickly spread out from it as the center, enveloping Coalossal and Steelix. Before they could get up, they were pressed back down by the powerful binding force generated by the light circle.
Steelix twisted its Body, and Coalossal kicked its limbs wildly, both desperately trying to break free from the restraint, but it was useless. The Ground scraped against their hard bodies, making a sharp, piercing sound.
Just as Hatterene was about to continue its attack, it suddenly felt a dizzy spell in its Head, and the next second it lost consciousness and quickly fell from the Sky.
Bai Feng, who had been watching the Situation, was about to run towards it, but before Hatterene could land, a Tropius suddenly appeared and caught Hatterene just in Time.
It turned out that Grandpa Fu had arrived.
Seeing Grandpa Fu, the Stone in Bai Feng's heart finally dropped.
Grandpa Fu took out two Pokeballs, and with a flash of red light, a Jumpluff and a Whimsicott appeared above Coalossal and Steelix.
"Jumpluff, Sleep Powder," Grandpa Fu ordered Jumpluff.
"Wo Jia~"
Jumpluff nodded and quickly flew around Coalossal and Steelix, scattering brown powder on them.
These two guys were dazed by Hatterene's attack and had just managed to get up.
However, Grandpa Fu was disappointed. Sleep Powder was useless against these two guys who had lost their sense of self. Their eyes were red, and they were still very energetic.
Grandpa Fu sighed and said, "It seems we can't solve this without using some force."
"Jumpluff, Whimsicott, Leech Seed!"
Following Grandpa Fu's command, Jumpluff and Whimsicott began to fly around Coalossal and Steelix happily.
Coalossal reached out to grab Jumpluff, but Jumpluff cleverly dodged with the help of Whimsicott's Tailwind Skill.
Steelix also suddenly opened its blood-filled mouth to bite Whimsicott. Instead of dodging, Whimsicott stuffed a large amount of Cotton Spore into Steelix's mouth when it suddenly lunged, completely blocking Steelix's mouth.
As more and more green Seeds were scattered near Coalossal and Steelix by Jumpluff and Whimsicott, Grandpa Fu said, "Okay, we can start!"
The two Grass-type Pokémon nodded, and then a vibrant green light emerged from their bodies. As the light appeared, the Seeds on the Ground seemed to receive some kind of Signal and began to quickly take root and sprout.
Before long, countless gray-brown Vines grew and lunged at Coalossal and Steelix with bared fangs and brandished claws. Although a large number of Vines were burned by Coalossal and broken by Steelix, they continued to wrap around them in a continuous stream.
Finally, the two troublesome Pokémon were tightly bound. As soon as they struggled slightly, a suction force would come from the Vines, ruthlessly draining their Stamina, and the Vines would grow even more luxuriant.
Although Steelix and Coalossal were dealt with, the chaos they created continued. Countless people were injured or killed as a result, and a large amount of Negative Emotions such as Fear, Panic, and Sadness gathered together.
A Froslass hidden in the darkness was enjoying this Power with a look of intoxication. As it absorbed more and more Negative Emotions, the aura around Froslass slowly grew.
This Bug in the darkness, for its own selfish desires, caused countless families to be ruined and lives lost!
Margaret and Bo Shi had been secretly observing the battle. Seeing that Coalossal and Steelix were subdued by Grandpa Fu, she said with a look of regret:
"I didn't expect that Old Guy Fu Ade to still be so strong. It's a shame about those two Pokémon, they only caused trouble for such a short Time."
Bo Shi said, "It's already very difficult to achieve this level. Although that Bi Yi Dojo Leader is usually very low-key, his Strength cannot be underestimated. We should be more low-key now."
Margaret glanced at Bo Shi: "Do I need you to Remind me?"
Bo Shi silently retreated behind Margaret, not daring to say anything more.
At this moment, Margaret asked again, "Where did that Hatterene come from that suppressed Coalossal and Steelix at the beginning? It's very strong!"
Bo Shi shook his Head and said, "I don't know. Should my subordinate investigate?"
Margaret nodded and said, "Hmm... you go and check. If..."
Although she didn't finish her sentence, Bo Shi understood. If that person wasn't deeply involved with the League, then they could Try to recruit him into the Organization.
Not long after Grandpa Fu subdued the two Pokémon, the Police Station and Fire Brigade finally arrived late. They immediately began rescue work.
Due to Coalossal's rampage, there were multiple Fires in the City Center. The Fire Brigade was short on Hands and couldn't keep up with the rescues.
So, many Water-type Trainers spontaneously organized themselves and joined the rescue effort together. Bai Feng also took action with Brionne.
Brionne was full of motivation. The Rain Dance Skill it had painstakingly researched with Vaporeon was finally able to shine brightly.
It performed very impressively in the rescue operation. Several times, a single Rain Dance instantly controlled the spread of the Fire, buying a lot of rescue Time for the Fire Brigade.
Because Brionne performed so excellently, Bai Feng was also recognized by many Trainers, and the Fire Brigade captain even praised him.
However, Bai Feng was a bit absent-minded. He had been worried about Hatterene's Situation. Hatterene's condition earlier was really not right.
Not only did Brionne make a great contribution, but Bai Ye also put in a lot of effort in this rescue operation.
When the Disaster occurred, it had already helped many citizens overcome the crisis with its powerful Psychic Power. After the Disaster ended, it actively and voluntarily joined the rescue effort and rescued a large number of Injured from the Ruins.
Furthermore, Bai Ye also possessed healing Skills. Some people or Pokémon with severe Injuries, if not for Gardevoir's timely use of Healing Wave to stabilize their Injuries, might not have even waited for rescue.
Some citizens were buried under the Ruins. Due to various factors, rescue personnel sometimes found it difficult to rescue them. At such times, having a Psychic-type Pokémon help was very convenient.
For a Time, Bai Ye actually became an angelic existence in this Disaster.
Nurse Joy, who arrived later, expressed high praise for Bai Ye.
Actually, it wasn't that Nurse Joy didn't want to come earlier, but the Pokemon Center had also been damaged. Nurse Joy had spent a lot of effort finding enough Medicine and Equipment.
