Chapter 979 The curtain opens

Chapter 980 The Curtain Opens

The hot air balloon carried Xia You and his group upwards.

However, after flying for only a short while, they saw Xiaozhi who was still climbing up the tower from the window of the tower.

Xiaozhi's look at this moment is no longer as excited as he was a few minutes ago.

No matter whether it is him or Pikachu, they are both crawling without any image, moving slowly upwards step by step!

It was obvious that their physical strength had been completely exhausted.

This is an extremely rare scene for the super rookie Xiaozhi.

Seeing that Xiaoyao on the side wanted to greet Xiaozhi, Xia You stopped her with a smile.

"Let's not call him yet." He shook his head. "Anyway, Xiaozhi can't jump out of the window to ride the hot air balloon at this time, so let's go up quietly and give him a 'surprise' when the time comes!"

Hearing him say this, several people remembered how Xiaozhi wanted to compete with them just now, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"That's right!" Xiao Guang laughed, "Let's give this guy a big surprise!"

I have to say, compared to Xiaozhi who is still climbing hard, going upstairs by hot air balloon is really comfortable, especially as the altitude gets higher and higher, the whole town becomes smaller and smaller under their feet, and there is a different feeling.

There were only about twenty floors left, and it was over in the blink of an eye.

When they reached the rooftop platform, they got off the hot air balloon, but Xiaozhi was still a long way away from here.

When I entered the tower again, what I saw was a huge device. From the appearance, it seemed that the device was powered by electricity. Through the gaps in the metal shell, I could see various embedded circuits and gears of different sizes, which were running slowly.

In addition to this huge machine, this place is also used as a nest by many bird Pokémon. You can see many wild Pokémon living here. But maybe someone cleans it regularly. Even though there are so many of them gathered here, it is still very clean. There is no accumulation of feces, feathers, and debris that would affect the operation of the machinery.

Walking in front of the machine, Alice extended her hand and introduced: "This is the core of the Space-Time Tower. It is also the control room for playing audio discs. All audio discs are inserted into this machine and then transmitted to the entire town through the tower's loudspeaker."

Xia You nodded, his eyes swept across the huge machine, and he said casually: "If you want to play the audio disc in my hand, how do you operate it?"

"this is very simple."

Alice took the sound disc from Xia You's hand, walked to the machine and stepped on a pedal. As the outer shell popped open, she placed the sound disc into a slot in the center.

After doing all this, she pointed to a pull switch next to her and said to Xia You: "Next, just pull this switch to the bottom, and it will drive the disk to play."

Xia You nodded again, and then asked: "This device needs electricity to drive it, right? If there is a sudden power outage, where can we get the power?"

"Power outage?" Alice was stunned, then laughed, "That's impossible. There is a stable power supply here. Since the construction of this time and space tower, this situation has never happened in so many years!"

Xia Youke didn't laugh, but just looked at her calmly: "Nothing in this world is absolute, just like before this, didn't you expect Darkrai to cause a riot?"

Alice was surprised at first, then frowned. After two seconds of silence, she pointed to the two electric needles on the machine and said, "Well, you're right. There is really no such thing as an absolute sure thing. If there is a power outage and we happen to encounter an emergency, we can just use electric Pokémon to generate electricity for these two needles. However, if you want to run the playback device, you need very strong electricity. Ordinary electric Pokémon can't do this. So if you want to start it, you may need several electric Pokémon to work at the same time."

Xia You said no more, and at this moment, he heard heavy footsteps down the stairs and the sound of a "broken bellows" breathing heavily!

When they turned around, they saw Xiaozhi climbing up with his eyes wide open, trembling all over, and panting like a cow!

Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from his cheeks and fell to the floor. It was obvious that he was extremely exhausted.

Behind him, Pikachu was equally miserable and had to use both his hands and feet to climb up!

Xiao Zhi, who had just climbed up, was about to sit down on the ground to rest, but when he looked up, he saw Xia You and his group looking at him leisurely, and he suddenly felt unwell.

“You…you…you guys…”

Pointing at these people, Xiao Zhi said the word "you" several times in a row, but how could he speak complete sentences when he was barely catching his breath?

Seeing him in such an embarrassed state, Xiao Guang walked up to him, put one hand on his waist, and couldn't help but laugh: "Don't blame us, it was you who ran too fast before, so now... you finally know who is the first, right!?"

What else can Xiaozhi say?

Looking at Xiaoguang's smug look, he could only turn his head away angrily and not look at her.

Several people stood on the top of the tower and admired the scenery for a while. Then Alice took out the Oración music disc and replaced it with another ordinary one. Under her operation, a light and beautiful song also echoed over the town.

Through an observation telescope above, Xia You looked out at the town and could clearly see the residents here. It seemed that they were no longer surprised by the sudden sound of music.

Even on the streets and squares, you can see many people dancing to the music.

It really is a small town with a very relaxed pace of life...

Speaking of which, whether it is the scenery here or the development of the town, it is indeed very suitable for people to travel and settle here. No wonder there are so many people here every day.

After staying for a few more minutes, Alice suggested going downstairs for a walk again.

Except for Xiaozhi, the others had no objection. However, Xiaozhi had just used up all his energy to climb up, and the sweat hadn't even completely dried off, but he had to go down again. Naturally, he sighed.

However, he also knew that there was nothing interesting to see here, so he had no choice but to return to the ground with the others on a hot air balloon.

It was here that Xia You suddenly spoke up when Xiaozhi and the others wanted to go to the town square again.

"Let's split up for now."

Hearing him say this, Xiaozhi and the others all turned to look at him: "Eh? Brother Xia You, what are you going to do?"

"I have some personal issues that need to be dealt with." Xia You shook his head. Instead of saying it clearly, he said to Ya Mi and Xiao Yao, "You two should go with them. I will meet up with you after I finish my business here."

Although they were confused, they didn't ask any questions. Instead, they watched him walk towards the Pokémon Center.

"Strange..." After Xia You walked away, Xiao Zhi couldn't help scratching his head and asked, "What is Brother Xia You doing? Isn't he secretly looking for someone to fight?"

"No." Xiao Gang narrowed his eyes, "Maybe he's going to find some woman!"

"You two!" Xiaoyao had a 'well' on her forehead. She glanced at the two of them and said unhappily, "Can't Brother Xia You have his own business? Stop talking nonsense and get out of here!"

After all, they were travel companions. Seeing that Xiaoyao was about to go berserk, Xiaozhi and Xiaogang couldn't help but chuckle, but they didn't dare to provoke her again.

But I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. It was okay if it was Xiaoxia at the beginning, but how come Xiaoyao, who has a completely different personality from Xiaoxia, would be so siding with Xia You?

On the other side, after parting with Xiaozhi and the others, Xia You returned to the Pokémon Center alone.

After all, there is not much time left before the 'beginning'.

He also needs to make one final adjustment before the riot!

He came directly to the Poké Ball teleporter, took out his phone, contacted Nancy and Tama respectively, and teleported his three sacred birds and Thunder God over.

The main forces in this upcoming battle are naturally Deoxys and Black Rayquaza, but as he just asked Alice, whether or not the sound disk of Oración can be played smoothly is also very important, so he replaced Raikou and Zapdos to his side.

Although he doesn't have that many electric Pokémon, these two powerful legendary Pokémon alone are enough to solve the problem of power generation.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As for the remaining Moltres and Articuno, they are naturally meant to stay by his side as trump cards in case some factors beyond his control arise!

But this didn't seem safe enough, and after a little thought, he contacted Lijia again and teleported his Celebi over.

After doing all this, he returned to the street and released the Charizard, letting it carry him back to the playback room of the Tower of Time and Space.

There was only one thing he had to do next.

That is to stay here and wait for the events to begin!

……

Being in the position with the best view in the entire Baiyang Town, Xia You could use the standing telescope nearby to see the situation in the town clearly.

He saw more and more tourists pouring into the streets, walking and touring the streets, making the town more and more lively. He also saw people's busy side, and even saw Xiaozhi and his friends fighting with others in the square.

Although I couldn't see their faces clearly because the distance was too far, I could easily tell them apart from the way they were dressed.

The ones fighting against them were still the three people with Sinnoh's initial Pokémon from yesterday.

I really don’t know...what kind of fate brought them together again!

What a coincidence.

And looking through the telescope, Xiaozhi was jumping up and down, as if he was determined to fight the man with the Tortoise today!

But unfortunately, Xiaozhi's wish was destined to fail.

Just when Xiaozhi was fighting fiercely with his opponent, the space vibration they encountered yesterday came again!

And this time it was not just a simple strong wind. A brilliant light suddenly burst out from somewhere high in the sky of the Tower of Time and Space, and the entire Baiyang Town was instantly shrouded in this light!

The light was extremely dazzling, and under such light pollution, no matter what people were doing at the moment, they all stopped and looked up towards the top of the Tower of Time and Space!

But before they could see clearly, the lights suddenly retracted and disappeared, as if it was just an illusion!

But everyone knew that it was definitely not an illusion.

Just as people in the streets were discussing what had just happened, Xia You's eyes suddenly lit up in the broadcast room at the top of the Tower of Time and Space.

After waiting for so long, it finally started...

And it was so close to me!

However, it is still too early and the timing is not yet ripe. In order to avoid being noticed by Dialga and Palkia in advance, he did not act immediately. Instead, he called Gengar out from the shadow and let it stand on the left and right with Charizard to protect his own safety.

After all, he was too close to the light spot just now!

In order to avoid death before achieving success, he also needs to take some precautions.

"I smell a big battle." Gengar sniffed and said to Xia You, "I guess you sent everyone away this time because you wanted to deal with those two Pokémon by yourself, right?"

"What do you mean by going it alone?" Xia You glanced at it, then turned the telescope to look at the square again, and found that Xiaozhi and the others were already entangled with the Darkrai that appeared out of nowhere. "Look, this Darkrai alone is enough to keep them busy for a while, and the matter has nothing to do with me now. I am only responsible for choosing the battlefield and preventing some off-field factors from disturbing the protagonists on the field!"

At this time, through the telescope, it can be seen that the Darkrai has caused a great commotion on the ground.

Not only was it fighting with Xiaozhi and the others, it was also using Dark Hole frequently. The people and Pokémon who were originally watching the fun around were all hit by these purple-black spheres and fell down in an instant.

This time, it really caused a riot!

People panicked and fled with their Pokémon. That was not the whole story, especially when Albert with his big tongue came from nowhere and attacked Darkrai, things became even more chaotic!

However, Darkrai obviously didn't really want to fight them. It fought and retreated, and soon escaped into a small alley.

Xia You, who was acting as a spectator, was about to move the telescope in the direction Darkrai left. At this moment, he suddenly felt something strange around him. When he looked up, he found that the sky suddenly became dark, covering the entire Baiyang Town. Even white mist began to slowly emerge around, completely enveloping the town.

Everything seems to have changed!

This place is slowly changing at a slow pace that no one in the town has noticed.

"Is this the power of the God of Space and the God of Time?" Geng Gui took only one look and was amazed. "I have a bad feeling that I'm about to be completely swallowed up. By the way...don't we need to notify the people in those towns to evacuate first?"
