Chapter 843 Red Lightning

It didn't happen particularly suddenly.

When Xiaoyao, holding the egg in her hand, was walking side by side with Xia You on the mountain path, chatting and laughing, she first felt the egg in her hand shaking slightly. At first she did not take it seriously, thinking that she did not hold it firmly when walking on the mountain road. It was not until she heard a slight cracking sound that she realized something was wrong.

"Brother Xia You, look!" Her eyes lit up, and she quickly lowered her head to take a look, and said excitedly, "It looks like this egg is about to hatch!!"

"Indeed, it seems to be a matter of time."

Xia You only took a glance and noticed the abnormality of the egg, then looked around.

They were currently located halfway up a mountain, with no town in front of them and no village behind them. They were surrounded by forests, and there was no human habitation within a dozen kilometers, let alone the Pokémon Center.

"It seems we can only welcome this new life by ourselves. Well, it's getting dark soon, so let's stay here today."

Hatching eggs is naturally not a difficult task, and even Xia You and Xiao Yao don’t need to intervene. However, this is the first time after all, and since they have no relevant experience and are afraid of any accidents, Xia You still remains cautious to the greatest extent possible.

They released a few Pokémon, set up tents in an orderly manner, established a simple camp, and prepared hot food and water. When everything was ready, Xia You, Xiao Yao and a group of Pokémon gathered around the fire, all focusing their eyes on the egg.

Gengar appeared from the shadows at some point and watched with interest.

Seeing it like this, Xia You couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why? You've lived for so many years, and you've never seen a Pokémon being born?"

"Indeed not." Geng Gui shook his head, his expression was unusually not as serious as usual, but he sighed and said, "I even forgot what I was like when I was born."

This is undoubtedly a heavy topic.

Xia You looked around and saw that all his Pokémon were lowering their heads, surrounded by a strange atmosphere. Obviously, looking at this egg reminded them of their past selves.

Yes, who remembers what they looked like when they were born?

Not to mention being born, how many of these Pokémon have ever seen their parents?

Gardevoir was given to me by someone else.

Dragonite is abandoned.

Crystal Steelix has always been alone.

There are too many.

Not to mention them, isn't Xia You the same?

Coming to this world means cutting off contact with everything on Earth, including parents, relatives, and friends. Now he is just like a rootless duckweed.

Can not go back.

"Don't think about it anymore." He smiled bitterly and shook his head. "We are together now, and we are a family. No matter what happens next, we will face it together."

Just like Xia You said, they are now closely connected because of the bond of the Poké Ball. Although they are not a family, they are better than family. As long as they have each other's company, they are no longer alone.

Xiaoyao listened quietly at the side.

She has parents and a younger brother, so naturally she couldn't understand the feeling of being adrift and helpless, but this heavy atmosphere still touched her deeply.

Fortunately, at this time, the egg shook again and successfully attracted everyone's attention.

With a few crackling sounds, the egg suddenly changed its shape, and it turned from an egg into an Eevee!

There was not even a bit of eggshell left, it was really magical.

Compared to its peers that can be found in the wild, this newly born Eevee is undoubtedly smaller.

This is not surprising. After all, it is a newborn baby, so its body size will naturally not be too big.

But it is a Pokémon after all. Although it has just been born, its body has already matured. Not only can it move normally, it can even see, hear, and make sounds. Apart from being a little fragile, there is no difference between it and the ordinary Eevee.

"It's Eevee! That's great!"

It was at this time that Xiaoyao realized that the Pokémon she had obtained was actually Eevee, and she was naturally overjoyed.

After all, Ibrahimovic is very popular and his appearance alone is likable enough, and Xiaoyao is no exception.

Of course, there is another important reason.

It's just like Brachydios. Now, Brother Xia You and I have one more of the same Pokémon. With two of the same Pokémon, I can definitely learn something from Brother Xia You's Eevee and make myself grow faster!

Eevee looked around curiously, then glanced at the two humans and the group of Pokémon around them.

But before it could see clearly, a big furry head like that of a fox came up to it, sniffing it and wagging its tail excitedly.

Needless to say, this is Xia You's Eevee.

A new one of its kind hatched from the egg, and it was the happiest one besides Xiaoyao.

After it, the other Pokémon also came over and took a close look at the new companion.

It can be said that no matter who it is, they have given the greatest care to this new life.

At this time, Xiaoyao also placed the food and water that he had prepared in advance in front of Ibrahimovic.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Xiaoyao." She tilted her head and smiled, "Welcome to join this big family."

……

The hatching of Ibrahimovic is undoubtedly a supplement to Xiaoyao's lineup, and it also made her happy for a long time.

But after the joy, it’s time to continue the journey.

After resting for a night halfway up the mountain to recharge their batteries, Xia You and Xiao Yao set out again the next day.

And this time, Xiaoyao also has a lively Eevee by his side.

Seeing it so active, Xia You also released his own Eevee, allowing it to take this newborn fellow to experience the scenery of nature.

After walking and stopping along the way, the two arrived at a big city called Jiantian City.

Xia You had never been here before, and had never even heard of the name of this city, but that could only be attributed to his ignorance. When he actually set foot here, he discovered that there were tall buildings everywhere, and it was even more prosperous than Evergreen City and Deep Gray City.

But unfortunately, it is not well-known because it does not have its own official gym.

The first thing Xiaoyao did after entering the city was to ask around excitedly whether there was a need to report the Gorgeous Conference, but soon she got two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

The good news is that there are indeed gorgeous conferences held here. In fact, the scale and popularity of the Jiantian Conference are second only to the Golden Conference.

The bad news is that the field recommendation conference ended half a month ago.

This also made Xiaoyao laugh and cry.

I came, but I was late.

Before she could feel disappointed, she heard the second piece of news.

That is the legend of the red lightning in Jiantian City!

The so-called Red Lightning legend refers to a monster called Red Lightning in Jiantian City, who is masked with a red cloak that covers his entire body and is attacking trainers everywhere.

Because it is wrapped in red, as fast as lightning, and can even use Pokémon moves, people gave it this name.

This weirdo will actively attack the trainers he meets on the road, regardless of whether the other party is willing or not, and after winning, he will graffiti on the Pokémon. He has defeated many people and made the people here uneasy!

I told Xia You about this, and after listening to it, the latter touched his chin.

"A weirdo who can use Pokémon moves? Just scribbling after defeating his opponent? It sounds like a Pokémon in disguise."

While speaking, Xia You's brain began to think.

Red lightning?

Has this person appeared in the anime?

I don't remember it at all...

"That shouldn't be the case." Xiaoyao frowned and said, "I heard that he can speak human language. If that's the case..."

She was just about to say that if it could speak human language, it should be ruled out as a Pokémon, but she immediately remembered that not only Xia Youge's Gengar, but even Team Rocket's Meowth could speak human language, so if another one appeared, it wouldn't be so strange.

Could it really be some Pokémon?

"No matter what, we should be careful." Xiaoyao thought to herself, "After all, we are trainers too. If we accidentally become his target, it will be troublesome."

"Isn't that perfect?" Xia You laughed unexpectedly, "No matter if he is a human or a Pokémon, since he has made such a big noise, if we see him, wouldn't it be better to stop him?"

That’s true.

Xiaoyao only thought that red lightning was some urban legend, but forgot that the man standing next to her was even more legendary than the urban legend!

After all, the city is so big, the chance of meeting each other is not that high.

In a word, there is nothing to worry about.

However, just as she was thinking this, as the two of them were crossing a city park, a sudden laugh came into their ears.

Hearing the sound, the two men subconsciously looked up and saw a figure wrapped in a red cloak standing on a big tree, looking at them!

Xiaoyao blurted out: "The red cloak, could it be..."

“Hehehe.” The red figure looked down at them, and a steady male voice came out from the cloak, “It seems that you have heard of my name. Yes, I am Red Lightning!”

As he spoke, the man who called himself Red Lightning stretched out a red pincer and pointed it at the Eevee next to Xia You.

"Then let me fight you next!"

After saying that, regardless of whether Ibrahimovic agreed or not, he jumped in front of Xia You and the others.

Because they were closer, Xia You could also see the red lightning in front of him clearly at this moment.

His judgment was correct. He recognized at a glance that this guy wearing a red cloak and pretending to be mysterious was a giant mantis!

After all, I have one too, and it would be hard to hide it from my eyes, no matter its size or its exposed big head.

However, unlike ordinary giant mantises, the left eye of the red lightning in front of you is different in color from normal, it seems to be heterochromia, or it has been modified!

But no matter what, this red lightning still looks cool against the red cloak!

It made Xia You want to get a set for his own giant mantis.

However, Xiaoyao was still confused and asked, "You want to fight Eevee? Does that mean you are a Pokémon?"

It's not that she couldn't tell it, it's just that Megalania is a humanoid Pokémon after all, and the red cloak obscures its shape, making it impossible to distinguish it carefully. In addition, various Pokémon masks are very popular, so it is still very difficult to truly determine its identity.

But to put it bluntly, I still don’t have enough experience.

In response to Xiaoyao's questioning, Red Lightning said nothing more, but stretched out his right pincer and launched an attack directly.

A ball of hot energy began to gather in its right pincer. The next second, a destructive ray shot out and shot towards Xia You's Eevee.

In fact, not only Ibrahimovic, but also Xia You and Xiao Yao are within the attack range of this destructive ray.

This also made Xia You frown immediately.

It is a customary practice that trainers are not involved in battles. As long as the Pokémon is human, both the trainer and the Pokémon will generally abide by this rule by default.

As for the red lightning in front of us, since it understands human language and is active in such a city, it goes without saying that it must understand such rules. Moreover, since it is the first time for both parties to meet and there is no conflict, it still does this, which shows that it is definitely intentional.

This also made Xia You's impression of it turn bad.

Once he becomes evil, his actions will naturally not be so civilized.

"It's just right. Now that we've met, I can say that I've rid this city of harm today."

He looked coldly at the Giant Mantis in the distance, and ignored the destructive ray that was getting closer and closer. In fact, he didn't need to worry about this kind of attack. As long as it dared to attack the trainer, someone would naturally take action for him!

Almost in an instant, a huge black energy ball flew out from the shadow under his feet and hit the destructive light accurately!

boom!

The two energies collided, and a huge explosion occurred instantly.

Gengar stood in front of Xia You and Xiao Yao, activating his ability to block all the aftermath of the explosion. On the other side, although the red lightning used its giant pincers to block the air wave, the red cloak on his body was still blown away.

It was also because of this that Xiaoyao saw its true face.

"Giant Mantis!? It really is a Pokémon!"

Not only that, after revealing his true identity, Xiaoyao also noticed at a glance that there was a strange device hanging on the neck of the giant mantis, like a... loudspeaker!

"It looks like we have really discovered Red Lightning's true identity."

When the smoke cleared, Xia You walked forward a few steps, leaned over, took out something like a prosthetic eye, and tossed it in his hand.

Needless to say, this prosthetic eye is the one that was just put on the left eye of this giant mantis.

Under the impact of the explosion, it accidentally fell and landed right in front of Xia You.

"Well, with a camera and a loudspeaker under your neck, it seems that this is not a talking Pokémon at all. The so-called red lightning is just a puppet being manipulated."
