Chapter 445 Reversing the World
Evan threw out Orpheus's Poké Ball, and Orpheus, resembling a ladybug, appeared, lifting Evan up towards the top of the cave entrance.
Amin rode his cross-bat, his black wings tearing through the distorted pink halo above the nest.
The two looked back at the still violently trembling nest, where the rubble that had crumbled from the rock walls resembled apocalyptic hail, each piece carrying a chilling sense of oppression.
"Can Zhang Heng and the others really make it?" Amin's voice was torn apart by the gale, his eyes reflecting the ever-shrinking hole.
The opening at that moment resembled the closing pupil of a giant beast, with dark red energy surging wildly at its edges, devouring any hope of escape every second.
Evan gripped the edge of Eurupe tightly, his knuckles turning white: "He has the Martial Arts Bear Master... he can definitely do it!"
But before the words were finished, the entire nest suddenly emitted a rumbling sound like gears jamming, and the entrance instantly shrank to a gap that could only allow one person to pass through. Dark pink energy dripped from the edge like boiling iron, corroding the ground and creating wisps of white smoke.
All the waiting trainers held their breath. Min Hui stared intently at the gap, veins bulging on his forehead, his nails almost digging into the flesh of his palms.
Just when everyone was in despair, a dark golden fist suddenly tore through the energy barrier, and the Martial Arts Bear Master, enveloped in scarlet light, crashed out of the cave!
Its thick arms held Zhang Heng and Charizard firmly, and the Gigantamax energy on its body blasted the approaching rocks into dust.
"Give me a hand!" Zhang Heng threw out a Poké Ball in mid-air to retrieve his Charizard, and Urshifu used the momentum to push off the rock wall, sending him plummeting straight to the ground.
Min Hui and the monstrous strength beside him instinctively rushed forward and steadily supported the two amidst the flying dust.
"Thank you, Brother Min! Your reaction was quick!"
After recognizing the person who caught him, Zhang Heng thanked Brother Minhui.
Aiven looked at Zhang Hengping and breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead: "This matter has been handled properly, everyone take a rest."
Just as everyone on the rescue team was relaxing, a sudden slap echoed across the silent mudflats.
"Clap~"
Min Hui's hands were still trembling slightly. He looked at the red marks that were quickly appearing on A Min's cheek and let out a suppressed roar: "Do you know what you're doing?!"
His voice was hoarse and strained, as if squeezed from the deepest part of his chest, "If Zhang Heng and Aiven get hurt while trying to save you, how can I explain this to the Alliance? If something happens to you, how can I face my dead second brother?!"
Amin stubbornly turned her head away, her eyes red-rimmed: "I just want power! I want the power to protect my family, am I wrong?"
"strength?!"
Minhui grabbed his younger brother by the collar and lifted him up with one hand.
"You don't even care about your own life, what strength are you talking about?! Your elders entrusted you to me, I can't lose you too! You're not a child anymore! Amin!"
Ah Min's voice suddenly choked, tears welling up in his eyes, as he said, "Second brother is gone... I only have you left... Brother! I want to help you too!"
Aiven and Zhang Heng exchanged a glance and quickly stepped forward. Aiven pressed down on Min Hui's tense arm and said, "Captain Min, your brother is just too impatient. We should prioritize the South China Sea issue."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Heng had already put his arm around Amin's trembling shoulder and said, "Brother Hui, I understand Amin's drive."
Minhui slowly released his grip, and Amin collapsed to the ground, tears mingling with dust and leaving streaks on her face.
"When my second brother left, I couldn't even hold onto the hem of his clothes..." The boy's sobs trembled like shards of broken porcelain. "I don't want to be a burden anymore..."
“You never were!” Minhui suddenly knelt down on one knee and hugged his younger brother tightly.
“You are my only brother, a trainer who can stand on his own, but promise me that no matter how strong you become, you will always pay attention to your family’s feelings…” His voice was muffled in Ah Min’s hair, carrying the clumsy tenderness unique to an older brother.
The sea breeze, carrying a salty tang, swept across the mudflats. After a long while, Amin turned and hugged her brother, her knuckles gripping the back of his uniform tightly: "Brother, I was wrong..."
Evan quietly wiped his eyes, but when he turned around, he bumped into Zhang Heng's suppressed laughter. "Alright, alright, the reunion scene is over! Everyone, rest for a bit and then we'll get ready to leave!"
The team took a short break, with each member busy with their own tasks. They quickly ate a few bites of dry rations to replenish their energy, while carefully adjusting the Pokémon's condition.
Zhang Heng was particularly nervous. Charizard had been severely injured in the previous battle to capture it, and he carefully applied medicine to it, his eyes full of concern.
Just as the team was about to head in the direction of Duan Guanjun, a strange black shadow suddenly emerged from a crack that no one could see.
Gastly looked terrified, its eyes filled with panic, and it kept looking around while making noises.
"Heh? Hehe!"
Finally, it found Zhang Heng in the group.
At this moment, Zhang Heng was focused on taking care of the Pokémon, especially the severely injured Charizard.
Hearing Gastly's voice, he said casually while busy with his work, "Oh dear, where have you been? I was going to prepare a fantastic meal for you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Heng turned around and saw Gastly carrying the unconscious Draco Messia, rushing anxiously toward him.
Dorgonmesia's body flickered in and out of the sunlight, as if it might vanish at any moment.
An eerie silver light seeped from between its scales, and its body would twitch from time to time.
Zhang Heng frowned instantly, his mind filled with doubt. He wondered where Gastly and Draco Messia had gone and how they had ended up like this.
He immediately focused his attention and used his system abilities to check on Dorgonmesia's situation. A pale blue data panel lit up in his pupils:
Pokémon Name: Dragapult
Status: Coma (receiving the blessing of a divine beast...)
Upon seeing this message, Zhang Heng gasped. The last time he saw a similar message was with Swampert. What's going on now?
"Where did this divine beast come from? How did it receive a blessing? Is Doronmesia also about to advance to a false god?"
The situation was clearly more complicated than he had imagined, and he immediately shouted, "Evan! Something's wrong with Doronmesia! You guys go first!"
Aiven looked at Zhang Heng in the direction of the voice, frowned, and said, "We don't have much time!"
In Ai Wen's view, Zhang Heng and Martial Arts Master Xiong are the mainstays in the upcoming major battle, so Zhang Heng is also one of the main forces in dealing with this crisis, and his absence is very serious.
"It's alright, I have Braviary and Charizard, two Flying-type Pokémon. If we take turns traveling, we shouldn't fall too far behind."
Evan glanced at the pseudo-legendary Pokémon in Zhang Heng's hand and nodded slightly. Indeed, Dragapult's situation was very strange.
"Okay, Zhang Heng, be careful. We'll be waiting for you at the front line."
"Chirp~"
As the last Flying-type Pokémon took flight, the entire special operations team withdrew from the area and headed due south.
In the blink of an eye, the once bustling mudflats were left with only Zhang Heng.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the sea breeze carrying fine sand pounding against the ground.
Zhang Heng took out Dorgon Mecia's Master Ball and tried to return it to the ball.
However, when the red light emitted by the Master Ball touched Dorgonmesia's body, it was deflected by a mysterious force.
"What's going on? It can't be retrieved from its Poké Ball. Has it become a wild Pokémon? Or is it because of a legendary Pokémon's blessing?"
Zhang Heng looked puzzled and turned to Gastly, asking, "Where did you go just now? What terrifying being did you encounter?"
Gastly's eyes revealed deep terror. As a Ghost-type Pokémon, it shouldn't easily show fear, but at this moment it was trembling all over, clearly having encountered something extremely terrible.
Just then, the water-based energy and the combat-based energy above the mudflats began to surge wildly.
Because Urshifu was not inside the Poké Ball, the energy of the legendary Pokémon is drawing upon the power of the Distortion World and merging intensely with the real world, causing the legendary Pokémon field to gradually form.
While unconscious, Dorgonmesia seemed to sense the call of another force and suddenly floated up slowly.
The ghost-type energy flowing through its body tore open a gap in the center of the divine beast field, faintly leading to another unknown world.
Zhang Heng frowned, the aura emanating from the gap was eerie and silent, filled with an unsettling deathly aura.
This energy fluctuation felt strangely familiar to him. In a daze, he recalled the time he overused Mega Evolution and Dynamaxed, and then fell into a coma.
At that moment, his consciousness fell into a mysterious space, and he even dreamed of returning to Earth. The scene at this moment was strikingly similar to that space in his memory.
"A reversed world? My consciousness once fell into a reversed world?"
Suddenly, many details flooded Zhang Heng's mind. In that world, he remembered encountering a ten-meter-tall black shadow that condensed from the void, with six ribbon-like fleshy wings on its back that fluttered slowly like tattered prayer flags.
"If I hadn't discovered last time that I could still access the system space, retrieve the Gene Wedge, and forcibly sever the connection with that world, I might still be unconscious..."
