Chapter 419 Falling into the Trap, Team Galactic's Ambush
"Besides the blizzard, the avalanche, and the Rubik's Cube that suppresses my Aura power, there must be some Ghost-type Pokémon involved, right, Hostar?"
Ash's voice echoed in the empty cave, carrying a hint of coldness and mockery.
"Clap clap clap..."
A sharp clapping suddenly broke the silence in the cave.
Huo Xing's figure slowly emerged from outside the cave entrance, a playful smile on her face, as she walked in step by step.
Behind her followed several members dressed in Team Galactic uniforms, each with a stern expression and sharp eyes.
What's even more unsettling is that several Ghost and Ice-type Pokémon are floating or standing beside these Team Galactic members.
Dream Demon, Snow Fairy, Haunter... they either let out low growls or exude a cold aura, rendering the atmosphere of the entire cave oppressive and eerie.
"As expected of you, Ash." Hoshiguma stopped, crossed his arms, tilted his head, and looked Ash up and down. His eyes gleamed with approval, but more so with a playful, cat-and-mouse-like expression. "To be able to detect our setup so quickly, your observation skills are truly amazing."
She paused, her smile fading and replaced by a twisted anger: "But it's precisely because of you that things have become so complicated! If you hadn't repeatedly interfered, we wouldn't have needed to resort to such extreme measures!"
Huoxing suddenly raised his head, staring intently at Xiaozhi, and said through gritted teeth, "Do you know how many casualties those bombs will cause after they explode? Do you know what price those innocent people will pay for your 'justice'?!"
Her eyes were red-rimmed, her fists were clenched, and her body was trembling slightly, as if she was trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart.
Ash looked at the agitated Star, but remained calm and showed no sign of backing down.
"Bombs?" Ash frowned slightly, a hint of disdain in his voice. "So, in the end, the reason you chose to attack the city with bombs, causing so many casualties, is it all my fault?"
He sneered, his eyes filled with disdain: "This is your so-called 'New World' plan? This is what Chi Ri calls 'ideal'? To achieve your goal, you are willing to sacrifice the innocent lives of this world and create chaos and panic by any means necessary? A new world built on sacrifice? How laughable."
"Shut up!" Huoxing shouted angrily, her face flushed red. She took a step forward and pointed at Xiaozhi's nose, roaring, "What do you know?! Everything Lord Chiri did was to create a better world! A perfect world without strife, pain, or sorrow! These were sacrifices made out of necessity!"
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, but her voice still trembled: "And you, these ignorant humans, have repeatedly hindered our plans! You are the sinners of this world!"
How boring and foolish...
Ash couldn't help but recall the religious riot he had participated in in a certain region before his rebirth; those people's thoughts were just like those of the current Star.
"Do you really think you're important to the Crimson Sun? Do you really think you have a place in this so-called new world? If the Crimson Sun truly cared about you, he wouldn't have so readily abandoned Jupiter, would he? And your future is the same; the Crimson Sun only cares about himself and his new world."
"You..." Huoxing was speechless, choked by Xiaozhi's words. She opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but found herself speechless.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She wanted to refute, but she couldn't, so she had to change the subject.
Thinking of this, a sly glint flashed in Huoxing's eyes. He suddenly grinned and said in a teasing tone, "But I'm quite curious, where is your legendary partner? Where did Darkrai go? Why didn't I see it come out to protect you? If Darkrai were here, you wouldn't have been in such a sorry state when facing the avalanche, would you?"
Huo Xing deliberately emphasized the words "legendary," his tone full of provocation and mockery.
Ash didn't answer, he just stared at Stardust quietly, his eyes showing no emotion.
He knew that Huo Xing was deliberately provoking him, trying to make him reveal a weakness.
"What, you're too scared to speak?" Seeing Ash remain silent, the star smiled even more smugly. "Or are you out of options and have no choice but to surrender?"
The star let out a sweet laugh.
"Just as Lord Akari and Hades said, as long as you create that strange environment, if you leave the team to investigate the reason, you will definitely let Darkrai follow your companions. Now that you don't have Darkrai and the power of Aura, what can you do?"
Seeing that Xiao Zhi was silent, Huo Xing stroked his smooth cheek with his right hand and continued, "That's right. Ignorant people always like to think that the weak are too strong. Let me see what way the 'Hero' who has been given so many titles can save himself now."
She clapped her hands, and the Team Galactic members behind her immediately stepped forward and surrounded Ash.
The Ghost and Ice-type Pokémon also let out low growls, preparing to attack.
……
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Xiao Guang, Xiao Gang, and the handsome guy are still struggling forward in the wind and snow.
"Huh...huh..."
Xiao Guang was panting heavily, his body already feeling somewhat numb.
"Xiao Guang, are you alright?" Xiao Gang asked with concern.
"I...I'm fine..." Xiaoguang managed a weak smile, but his voice trembled slightly.
The handsome man stared at the locator in his hand, his brow furrowed, and remained silent.
Suddenly, the hands that were spinning stopped.
"It stopped?" Xiao Gang noticed the change.
“Yes, we’ve stopped.” The handsome man nodded, but his expression became even more serious. “But… the direction is wrong. The direction indicated above is completely opposite to the direction we are heading now.”
"What?!" Xiao Guang and Xiao Gang exclaimed at the same time.
Just then, the Ghost and Ice-type Pokémon that had been hindering their progress stopped moving.
The moment the avalanche behind them ends is when they begin their actions.
They roared in unison and jumped down towards Xiao Guang and the others.
Before they could react to the Pokémon attacking them, a group of Team Galactic members who had been hiding for a long time quickly rose from the snow and surrounded them.
"Oh no! We've fallen into their trap!" The handsome man's expression changed drastically.
"What...what's going on?!" Xiao Guang said in a panic.
Xiao Gang quickly looked around and realized that they were completely surrounded with no way out.
In just a moment, the two groups surrounding them were only a few meters away. At such close range, they didn't even have time to send out their Pokémon to fight back.
