Chapter 110: The Witch's Powerful Entrance
Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Cruise Ship sailed smoothly on the Sea.
Di Di's Cruise Ship was heading to Nimbasa City in the Unova Region to attend a gathering; there was nothing particularly important about it. Therefore, the people on the ship spent their days idly, just playing and having fun.
These past few days, Bai Feng would often encounter Danny, but aside from baring his teeth, he couldn't do anything. Di Di kept a close eye on him, not allowing him to cause even the slightest trouble on the ship.
Bai Feng stayed mostly in his room on the Cruise Ship, rarely interacting with anyone, thus living a very peaceful and comfortable life.
At the same time, through the efforts of these past few days, Bai Ye had basically mastered the two Moves, Shadow Clone and Teleport. Although using them wasn't entirely smooth yet, with diligent Training, everything would Inevitably fall into place.
Besides this, Kricketune gradually began to Adapt to life by Bai Feng's side. More accurately, it got used to being with Primarina.
These past few days, these two Pokémon could be said to be inseparable. One liked to Sing, and the other liked to play music. When Primarina sang, Kricketune would provide the accompaniment. They cooperated very well, not at all like they had just met.
Sometimes, when Bai Feng and the others returned from Training, they would let Primarina and Kricketune perform a little tune together to relax their mood. Their little life was quite beautiful.
One day, the Cruise Ship docked near a Small Island. This Island was a Supply Island, specifically used for large Ships that needed to rest during inter-regional voyages.
However, generally, large Cruise Ships were very well-prepared with Supplies. Unless something happened midway, they rarely needed to stop at a Supply Island.
It was also here that Bai Feng needed to say goodbye to Di Di. If he continued to travel on Di Di's Cruise Ship, he would be taken directly to the Unova Region.
After the Cruise Ship docked, Bai Feng carried his Space Backpack and went to say goodbye to Di Di.
"Brother Di, thank you for the trouble this time," Bai Feng said gratefully.
Di Di said with a smile, "What's this? You're Fuyu's younger brother. It's my duty to help with such a small favor! Your family's Berries are especially delicious. I heard from Fuyu that you Cultivated them. If you really want to thank me, send me a few pounds of Berries next time."
Bai Feng readily agreed, "How can a few pounds be enough? Brother Di, if you have the Opportunity, come to my Orchard, and I guarantee you'll eat until you're full."
"Hahaha!!!" Di Di burst into laughter. "Okay, I'll definitely go if I get the chance."
After a round of pleasantries, Di Di personally saw Bai Feng off the Ship.
From the Ship, Di Di waved to Bai Feng from afar and shouted, "Goodbye, little brother Bai Feng, we'll meet again if fate allows!"
Di Di had a very good first impression of Fuyu's younger brother.
Bai Feng stood at the Port and also waved back at Di Di on the ship.
Only after the Cruise Ship gradually sailed away did Bai Feng say to Bai Ye beside him, "Alright, Mom, let's go."
"Gardevoir~" Let's go!
Having just gotten off the ship, Bai Ye was in a good mood and cheered after hearing Bai Feng's words.
Although there were many entertainment facilities on the Cruise Ship, it was still a bit boring for Bai Ye. After staying for a few days, it gradually lost its initial interest.
There were no permanent residents on this Supply Island, only a Supply Station. There weren't many Employees at the Supply Station either.
Bai Feng took Bai Ye into the Supply Station, wanting to buy some Stuff and inquire about the nearby Situation to see how they should continue their journey.
"Welcome."
As soon as Bai Feng entered the Supply Station, he saw a young girl wearing a blue Uniform and with her hair tied in a ponytail, greeting Bai Feng with a Smile.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" the girl asked again.
"Hello, I'd like to ask if you have Kayaks here. I want to buy one," Bai Feng said.
Bai Feng's original Plan was to go out to Sea directly on Gyarados, but after sitting on a Cruise Ship for a few days, he suddenly felt it would be more comfortable to buy a Kayak and have Gyarados pull it forward.
"A... a Kayak... yes, we do. Would you like me to show you?" The girl's voice suddenly became strange, but it quickly returned to normal, so Bai Feng didn't notice.
Soon, Bai Feng was led by the girl to the area selling Kayaks, but something felt a bit strange to Bai Feng.
On the way, the girl clearly encountered several colleagues, but they didn't greet each other at all, just walked past with expressionless faces.
At first, Bai Feng just thought the girl had a bad relationship with her colleagues, but when several people did this in a row, it was too strange. It couldn't be that she had bad relationships with everyone, could it?
"The Kayaks are all here, various models are available. Which one do you like?"
The girl spoke to Bai Feng with a proper Smile the entire time, but Bai Feng just felt that something wasn't right.
He then noticed that there were obvious spider webs hanging on a shelf not far away. He reached out and touched a shelf next to him, and his hand was immediately covered in dust.
Bai Feng looked at the girl in confusion and asked, "Don't you usually clean here? There's so much dust accumulated."
The Smile on the girl's face froze for a moment, and her voice immediately became strange again.
"What... what are you saying? Dust... dust..."
But then she returned to normal again.
"You said there's dust? I'm really sorry, it's been very windy on the Island recently, and the store easily accumulates dust. We'll pay attention to it."
Hmm? This is an Island, not a desert, right? Even if there's Wind, it's impossible for so much dust to appear all at once, and such fine dust doesn't look like it accumulated in just a day or two.
Not only did Bai Feng Discover something was wrong, but Bai Ye also noticed something unusual about the girl.
"Gardevoir?"
Bai Ye looked at the girl in confusion, but the sense of incongruity was only fleeting, making Bai Ye think it had misperceived.
"What's wrong, Bai Ye?" Bai Feng looked at his Mom in confusion.
"Gardevoir~ Gardevoir~" Nothing, maybe it was just my misperception.
Bai Ye shook its head and replied.
Bai Feng frowned upon hearing this. With the keen perception of a Psychic-type Pokémon, it would probably be difficult for it to have an Illusion, right?
If Bai Ye also discovered something was wrong, then this Supply Station...
To avoid alerting them, Bai Feng didn't ask Bai Ye what it had discovered. Instead, he pointed to a Kayak and said to the girl, "I'll take this one."
The girl smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll find someone to help you move the Kayak to the Doorway later. Now, please come with me to check out."
"Okay, please lead the way," Bai Feng said calmly.
"Please follow me."
Led by the girl, Bai Feng arrived at the cashier counter. Standing behind it was a slightly shorter Uncle with short hair, wearing the same blue Uniform as the girl.
"Hello, welcome."
When the Uncle saw Bai Feng approaching, the Smile on his face stiffened for an Instant. Although it quickly returned to normal, Bai Feng keenly noticed it.
"Gardevoir~ Gardevoir~"
At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly tugged on Bai Feng's arm and shouted, pointing in a direction. Bai Feng looked in that direction and saw the Kayak he had just bought floating in mid-air, slowly flying towards the Supply Station Doorway.
()???
Bai Feng looked at the girl who had just led him, questioning with his eyes: Is this what you meant by finding someone to move it to the Doorway for me?
This is clearly a paranormal phenomenon!
The girl didn't expect such a slip-up. Seeing that Bai Feng had already discovered something was wrong, strange Red Light suddenly appeared in her eyes.
The next second, the girl fainted on the Ground. The cashier Uncle and the other Employees who were walking around also fainted.
The light in the entire Supply Station suddenly dimmed, and even the surrounding Environment changed. Bai Feng and the others seemed to have entered a dark, strange space.
"Hehehe..."
"Hahaha..."
"Jiejiejie..."
...
A series of chilling laughter came from all around, echoing in Bai Feng's ears.
Bai Feng remained relatively calm. A Red Light flashed at his waist, and Heliolisk appeared beside him.
"Aybo~" Heliolisk's Neck Frill suddenly expanded to its maximum size, and a strong light exploded from it. The next second, the entire dim space was illuminated.
Bai Feng looked around and saw that the entire space was filled with Ghost-type Pokémon of various sizes and Forms: Gastly, Haunter, Banette, Duskull, Sableye...
With the appearance of the strong light, the Ghost-type Pokémon were startled. They wandered around in Panic, causing the entire space to instantly form a scene like a hundred ghosts night parade.
Of course, some Ghost-type Pokémon managed to maintain their composure. They condensed Shadow Balls and threw them at Bai Feng, Bai Ye, and Heliolisk.
Bai Ye waved its small hand, and a transparent Light Screen appeared in front of them. The Shadow Balls hit it and exploded like fireworks, only the color was black.
Another Red Light flashed at Bai Feng's waist, and Primarina appeared next to Heliolisk.
"Primarina, Rain Dance!"
"Sirai~"
Primarina nodded. It shot a Blue Light Orb towards the Sky. Before long, Dark Clouds gathered in the black space.
At this point, Bai Feng continued to instruct, "Heliolisk, Electric Terrain, then use Charge."
"Aybo!"
Heliolisk nodded. The next second, its Body was bathed in Electric Spark. Centered around it, a golden Electric Blanket slowly spread out.
While Bai Feng was directing Primarina and Heliolisk, more and more Ghost-type Pokémon began to recover from the deterrence of the strong light. They all launched attacks on Bai Feng and the others.
Facing the siege of numerous Ghost-type Pokémon, Bai Ye gradually became a little Busy.
Seeing this, Bai Feng took out Carbink's Pokeball again and released it.
When it came to defense, Carbink was the Major.
As expected, with Carbink joining, Bai Ye became more composed. Light Screen and Reflect were put up all around Bai Feng and the others.
At this moment, a light rain finally began to fall from the Sky.
"Heliolisk, Thundershock!"
With Bai Feng's command, a blue Lightning bolt cut through the dark space and struck the Ghost-type Pokémon.
Because of the Rain Dance, all the Ghost-type Pokémon were soaked with Rainwater, making them very conductive.
With this single strike, most of the Ghost-type Pokémon trembled and fell to the Ground. Only a small Part that had already undergone one Evolution remained standing firm.
At this point, Bai Feng pressed the advantage, "Primarina, Charm Voice!"
"Sirai!!!"
Primarina opened its mouth and emitted waves of sound. This time, the Charm Voice it used was rapid and fierce, lacking its usual gentleness and having more killing power.
Due to the Damp Voice Ability, the Fairy-type Charm Voice used by Primarina would turn into a Water-type Move. Therefore, the Ghost-type Pokémon covered in Water quickly felt the Water droplets on their Bodies vibrating.
This vibration quickly spread throughout their entire Bodies. With a burst of intense pain, the Ghost-type Pokémon that were still standing firm all fell down.
The Ghost-type Pokémon had all fallen, but Bai Feng and the others did not return to the Supply Station because of this. They were still trapped in the strange space.
Suddenly, a chilling sense of crisis erupted in Bai Ye's heart. Immediately after, a Fire Pillar descended from the Sky, instantly piercing through all the Light Screens set up by Carbink and Bai Ye.
Boom!!!
With a loud explosion, Bai Feng and the others were engulfed by raging Flames.
However, as the Flames were gradually extinguished by the Rainwater, Bai Feng and the others were no longer inside. It turned out that in the nick of Time, Bai Ye had activated Teleport in Time, taking everyone away from their original spot simultaneously.
Looking at the Ground that was burned red, Bai Feng felt lingering fear. If Bai Ye hadn't reacted in Time, they would have died just now.
Bai Feng looked up and saw a Pokémon wearing a purple magic robe and a pointed wizard hat floating in the air in the direction from which the Magical Flame had been shot.
A Mismagius.
No wonder the black space hadn't disappeared even though the Ghost-type Pokémon had all fallen. It turned out that the space Bai Feng and the others were currently in was an Illusion created by Mismagius.
Bai Ye had just learned Teleport, and this time it simultaneously took so many people (Pokémon) at once, so it was currently suffering from excessive Mental Power consumption, and its Expression had become a little pale.
Bai Feng watched the Mismagius in the air vigilantly, while gently holding Bai Ye's hand. Blue Light flowed in his eyes, instantly forming a Mental Power link with Bai Ye.
With Bai Feng's Mental Power support, Bai Ye's Expression finally looked much better.
Bang~ Bang~ Bang~
Mismagius stared intently at Bai Feng and the others. Clusters of scarlet Flames suddenly floated around its Body. The terrifying temperature caused the space to slightly distort, and also evaporated all the Rainwater that fell on it.
This time, it didn't attack rashly, but instead sent out waves of Mental Power.
"Leave here! Leave here!"
Mismagius's message was full of threats, and its attitude was overly aggressive.
Bai Feng asked, "Why are you controlling the people at the Supply Station? If you have difficulties, you can discuss them with us, and we will try our best to help you. Please release these people from the Supply Station."
Hearing Bai Feng's words, the Mental Power transmitted by Mismagius became even stronger.
"No need, no need! Humans are all liars, all liars! You leave here! Quickly, quickly leave here!"
Wave after wave of Mismagius's Mental Power continuously impacted Bai Feng's mind, making him feel dizzy and lightheaded.
