Chapter 1494 Iceberg Pokémon

"Rukia! What happened here?"

The flickering firelight made the entire cave entrance even brighter.

Lin Jing and the others hurried over.

"Lin Jing, you're here!"

"It's Conan! I wonder what he did; it seems to have activated a hidden mechanism here!"

Rukia's eyes blinked, as if she too was filled with anticipation for the mysterious treasure ahead.

Sonoko also wore a smug smile.

"This little rascal can be quite useful sometimes."

"Wait! These things can't be opened at all!"

The traps here don't bury any treasure at all, they bury ancient Pokémon!

Lin Jing's face was grim. How did it get opened?

Based on the previous murals, it should have been another pillar.

The seals on these Pokémon should be very strong and secure.

"Even if you say that, it's already been opened."

Ryukia pointed to the dark cave.

As for Lin Jing, she wasn't too worried. Ancient Pokémon would probably be long gone by now...

"By the way? Where's Xiaolan?"

Looking back, Rukia also realized that someone seemed to be missing from her side.

"It was that little brat again. He rushed in without thinking after opening the door."

Xiao Lan ran after her.

Okay, okay, I'm going too. If Lin Jing hadn't come, I would have gone in to see the treasure already!

As she spoke, Yuanzi was about to enter the dark cave, her face still showing some curiosity.

"That's strange. It was already cold here, but it feels even colder inside."

As Sonoko was speaking, a fierce blizzard suddenly swept through the dark cave.

Before Sonoko could react, a slightly scorching gust of wind suddenly rushed past her.

Orange-red fur fluttered before Sonoko's eyes, and a majestic face flashed past her.

The next moment, scorching flames erupted, blocking the fierce wind and snow from their path.

"Wow~ Arcanine is so cool!"

Feeling like she'd been rescued by a hero, Sonoko looked at the huge, reliable, and safe figure protecting her with adoration.

However, the Growlithe wasn't used to this kind of gaze at first.

If it weren't for maintaining its jet of flame, it would have wanted to move a few steps to the side.

"Wait! With such a huge blizzard, Xiaolan!"

Before Sonoko could rush over, Lin Jing grabbed her and flung her towards Ryukia.

"You guys go first, I'll take care of Xiaolan."

Before Rukia could reply, Lucario, still in Mega form, rushed in the instant the blizzard and Flamethrower stopped.

A dull, heavy thud followed, indicating that a battle had begun inside.

Lin Jing's originally dark pupils were now completely obscured by the blue light.

"Growlithe, now's Godspeed!"

"Xiao Lan! Wait for me, I'm coming to save you right now!"

As soon as Lin Jing finished speaking, a voice trembling with sobs followed.

But before Sonoko could throw the Poké Ball, a blue figure flashed out from the cave.

It was even holding an ice block that was a size larger than its body.

The striking, long-haired girl was bent over, seemingly protecting a unique treasure in her arms.

Tears welled up in the eyes of the girl watching.

"Xiaolan!"

"Rukia, what are you still doing here?"

Take them with you!

"Growlithe, Will-o'-the-Wisp."

Lucario, take this opportunity to perform a sword dance.

Lin Jing roared at Ryukia.

He's really at his wit's end. Why is Sonoko still playing some kind of prime-time drama?

So there really are people in real life who cry and whine even when there's a battle going on right next to them?

"Little Qingqing, take us away!"

Feeling the biting cold of the ice and the constant rumbling in the cave.

Ryukia finally realized that she couldn't be of much help and took out a Poké Ball.

The moment the blue-green bird claws grasped the ice, Xiao Qingqing instinctively shivered.

However, it was aware of the current situation and, despite the extreme discomfort from the temperature and energy on its claws, led Ryukia and the others through the narrow cave.

"call---

Alright, now it's finally just the few of us left.

Watching the group leave behind her, Lin Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

The Arcanine in front of him was slightly opening its long mouth, and crimson flames were slowly brewing inside.

Mega Lucario's fists were swirling with fine air currents, and the muscles on its furry arms, enhanced by the Sword Dance, could be faintly seen, seemingly poised to unleash their power.

However, in contrast to the three of them being fully prepared, their opponents, who had just engaged in a fierce battle, were filled with icy coldness.

"Reggie~"

Yes, it was cold in every sense of the word.

Its icy body, composed entirely of ice with sharp edges and corners, remained completely unchanged from the previous flames. Its cone-shaped icy legs maintained an astonishing balance on the ground, and its back was covered with several ice crystal spikes. Yellow spots around its eyes flickered continuously.

I don't know if they're giving me a look or speaking at a specific frequency.

As it entered the room, even with the heat radiating from the Growlithe, the temperature of the entire room continued to drop.

This is the Pokémon sealed in this treasure cave, whose entire body was made of ice from the Ice Age and has been passed down to this day.

Regice.

"Tsk, I only agreed to help out back then, how come I actually found it?"

Lin Jing, who had recognized the Pokémon early on, looked troubled.

The scene of fighting His kinsman Regirock not long ago is still vivid in my mind.

Lucario and Slaking fought for an unknown amount of time without being defeated, and in the end, Lucario had to set a trap for Slaking to seal him back.

Now he's all alone, and Lucario has been in Mega form for a while, so it's hard to say how much longer he can keep it up.

Arcanine also has type advantages.

However, it wasn't very effective against Regice and Arcanine's Flamethrower.

If I remember correctly, Regice, whose entire body is made of glacial ice, also has extremely strong special defenses.

But in close combat...

Lin Jing's gaze lingered on Lucario's fist for a moment.

The hand that had previously used bullets to punch Lucario had now been punctured by several ice particles due to contact with the opponent.

Given the cave terrain here, Arcanine and Lucario's signature fast attacks are simply not effective.

They're in a dilemma.

Should we leave now...?

"Wait a moment!"

"Wang Woo!"
