Chapter 115 The Nightmare Ring
Chapter 115 The Nightmare Ring
that night,
Lin Ye lay on Qiao Yijing's bed, holding her soft, boneless body in his arms, and slept soundly.
Suddenly, a series of urgent ringing bells rang, startling the two from their sweet dream.
Qiao Yijing's body trembled, and she reluctantly crawled out of Lin Ye's strong embrace, groggily reaching for her phone on the bedside table.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, glanced at the caller ID, and her expression instantly turned serious. After answering the call, she sat up as if she had sprung a spring.
"Jingjing, what's wrong? What happened so late?" Lin Ye sat up, the blanket slipped down, revealing his muscular chest.
Qiao Yijing quickly changed into her familiar Qiao Yi uniform and was buttoning it up, her hands trembling.
"The Pokémon Center suddenly received a large number of severely injured and critically ill Pokémon. There are too many to handle, and I have to go there immediately."
"How come so many Pokémon are suddenly injured! Has some terrible incident happened? I'll go with you."
The two hurriedly left the house. Lin Ye rode on the Skarmory that Zoroark had transformed into, carrying Nurse Joy, and flew towards the Pokémon Center at a speed as fast as a silver shooting star.
Upon arriving at the Pokémon Center, I found countless cars parked outside, with Pokémon being carried in and medical workers arriving one after another.
Upon entering, Lin Ye smelled a strong stench of blood mixed with disinfectant and various medicines.
Everywhere you looked, there were stretchers lying haphazardly, with all sorts of Pokémon lying on them:
Mightyena, Pelipper, Raiden, Mongoose... some were groaning, some were convulsing, and some were already motionless.
Even Qiao Yijing, who was used to seeing injured people, turned pale at this scene.
A staff member in a white coat ran over, sweating profusely, and looked at Qiao Yijing as if she were a savior:
"Miss Joey! You've finally arrived!"
"What's going on? Why are there suddenly so many injured Pokémon?"
The staff member wiped his sweat and said urgently, "Just now, a large number of marine team members appeared in the protected area on the western outskirts of Water Jing City."
They fought fiercely, injuring countless Pokémon, and more wounded are on their way!
Lin Ye frowned: "The protected area has existed for so long, and the Ocean Team's headquarters isn't far away, so why would they attack it now?"
The staff member glanced at Qiao Yijing, and seeing her nod, lowered their voice to answer:
"I only heard it secondhand. I heard that they found out somewhere that a red Gyarados was found in the waters of the reserve, and then they all rushed over and searched for it."
But so far, apart from causing huge casualties and catching some relatively rare Pokémon along the way, no red Gyarados has been found!
Of course, it's possible they've already captured the Gyarados; we don't know for sure.
"Those Ocean Team people are despicable!" Qiao Yijing clenched her fists, her eyes filled with anger.
But she had no time to be angry. She released Chansey, turned around, and rushed into the emergency room with it.
Lin Ye stood at the door, looking at the injured Pokémon, lost in thought.
Fortunately, the Zoroark and the ground tortoises had already migrated, otherwise it would have been troublesome if they had been implicated.
It's worth noting that the Ocean Team's headquarters are not far from Water Lily City, which is like their home ground.
Therefore, in the vicinity of Water Jing City, they are not as cautious as Fire Goose, and act more recklessly, not even taking the Water Jing City government seriously.
No matter how strong Torterra and its allies are, they can hardly contend against an organization that even the Hoenn League finds troublesome.
"By the way," Lin Ye called out to the staff member, "Didn't the Shuijing City police handle this matter?"
The staff member smiled wryly: "Why didn't you manage it? Miss Officer Jenny personally led a team there."
However, the Ocean Team is much stronger than the security forces in our city of Sujing. If we really run into them, I'm afraid we'll suffer a loss.
In truth, it's because we don't have a gymnastics center here; otherwise, Team Ocean wouldn't be so fearless, coming and going as if it were their own territory.
We've already requested assistance from the Alliance headquarters and Yinyu City, but it's not something that offers much benefit, so we don't know how long it will take for them to arrive.
Lin Ye didn't ask any more questions, turned around and walked out of the Pokémon Center!
I have some connection with Jun Sha Ran now, so it's only right and proper that I go and visit her.
If there is any real danger, and it is within my ability, it is no problem to lend a hand.
He mounted the sniper tree owl and quickly flew to the protected area. He could sense the fighting from afar and, without needing to find his way, flew directly towards the battle.
…………
Within the protected area,
A fierce battle is raging across a vast, moonlit meadow, with flames flying everywhere, the roars of Pokémon mingling with the shouts of humans.
A group of police officers and armed personnel from Waterloo City are fighting a group of Marine Team members in blue uniforms.
Neither side appears particularly strong, and neither possesses "professional-level" combat power.
However, Team Aqua has a clear advantage in both numbers and Pokémon, putting immense pressure on the Lilycove City police force.
Officer Wang was completely bewildered. He was just a low-ranking officer who was just trying to make a living. He never expected that he would receive a message late at night, when he was about to have a long holiday, and that he had to fight the infamous Ocean Team.
He was commanding a large wolfhound and a macho maneuver to desperately defend against the combined attack of three Pokémon.
His two Pokémon weren't very strong; they were just scouting and tracking Pokémon. At this moment, they were covered in wounds and on the verge of death.
The other team members weren't in much better shape either, and it looked like the morale of their entire team was about to collapse.
"We can't hold on any longer, let's run away! What's the point of risking our lives for a salary of 3,500?"
"No! Officer Jenny and the others are fighting a tough battle inside. If we leave, their situation will be even more precarious once these people arrive!"
"Xiao Wang, wake up! We're all small fry, just cannon fodder in the overall battle. There's no need to take it so seriously."
"That being said, we are indeed insignificant junior officers, but we haven't reached the end of our rope yet. How can we, as officers, give up so easily?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, a large beaked bat suddenly appeared beside him, then swooped down and headed straight for Officer Wang.
In the critical moment, Officer Wang's large wolfhound leaped up to save its master, but before the large mouth wrapped in black energy could touch the giant beetle, it was nimbly dodged and then crashed into him without hesitation, instantly sending him flying and unable to stand up again.
"Oh no! This giant beak bat is a terrifying being at the peak of the 'Excellent' level! I'm really doomed this time!"
Just as Officer Wang felt he could only close his eyes and await death, a streak of emerald light streaked across the night sky. The giant bat was struck by the light, flew away, and finally became stuck in a tree, lifeless.
