Chapter 424 Dream Exploration, Target: Pillar of Guns!
The wails and pleas for mercy that had been echoing in the cramped cave a moment ago came to an abrupt halt, and complete silence returned.
Only the buzzing of electricity and the crackling of rocks being shattered echoed in the cave.
Ash slowly turned around and began to pick up the things scattered on the ground.
That was when we were dodging an avalanche. Besides my hat, a lot of other things had fallen out of my backpack, and I had to pick them up one by one.
It's been a long time since he packed his backpack. After the Galactic Team incident, he'll have to check what's new in his backpack; there might be quite a few useful things.
"Pikachu, are you alright?"
Xiao Zhi asked softly, his tone tinged with concern.
"Pickup!"
Pikachu shook its head, a few sparks still remaining on its golden fur. It rubbed its cheek against Ash's fingers to indicate that it was alright.
Ash's gaze slowly fell upon the Team Galactic members lying on the ground.
They lay sprawled on the ground, some still twitching slightly, others completely unconscious.
Even under the combined attacks of Deoxys' gravity, psychic powers, and Pikachu's thunder, someone was still able to move.
This was somewhat unexpected for Ash, but considering how resilient Team Rocket members were, he was relieved.
It is true that people's physical constitutions cannot be generalized.
As Ash was pondering this, near the cave entrance...
Several members of Team Galactic who had suffered relatively minor injuries, seeing that the turmoil had passed, disregarded their own pain and, with their still trembling bodies, stumbled and fled towards the cave entrance.
They were panicked and staggered, like wild animals being chased by hunters, wanting only to escape this terrifying place as quickly as possible.
Xiao Zhi did not chase after him.
He knew that the most important thing now was not to hunt down these remnants of the army, but to stop the Red Sun's plan as soon as possible.
time is limited.
He had to race against time.
Ash took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the Team Galactic members who were still lying on the ground.
He needs to destroy the device that restricts his waveguide power first.
Ash, Pikachu, and Deoxys searched every inch of Team Galactic's body, which was lying haphazardly in the cave, leaving no corner unchecked.
Soon, his gaze settled on the black objects hanging from the waists of several Team Galactic members.
That is a device that restricts its own waveguide power.
After a thorough search, they found a total of eight Rubik's Cube-shaped devices.
"Pikachu, destroy them!"
Ash pointed to the devices and said to Pikachu.
"Pickup!"
Pikachu used Iron Tail without hesitation.
"Snap—"
Several devices shattered instantly, turning into a pile of fragments scattered on the ground.
As the device shattered, Ash felt his Aura power return completely, and that familiar feeling brought him a sense of relief.
“Dar~”
Just as Ash was pondering how to pry the location of the Sun and the Spear Pillar out of Stardust, Darkrai, who had gone to support Dawn, happened to return.
It appeared silently beside Ash, like a ghost, without attracting anyone's attention.
"Darkrai? You're back? That means Hikari and the others should be alright, right?"
“Dar~”
Darkrai nodded silently.
If it weren't for Da Ye and Wu Song arriving, Darkrai might still be worried that Hikari and the others would still be ambushed by Team Galactic and wouldn't dare to come back.
"Just right."
Ash smiled as he looked at Darkrai, already having a plan in mind.
So, what comes next is—
Ash's gaze slowly shifted to his friend, who was glaring at him with resentment.
“Darkrai, use a black hole to put her to sleep and see if her nightmares contain any information about the location of the Pillar of the Spear and the Crimson Sun.”
Xiao Zhi said softly, his tone carrying an undeniable certainty.
He then began to concentrate his Aura on Darkrai, sharing its senses with it.
He believed that Huo Xing must know something.
Even if Chi Ri keeps it from her, she will eventually find out.
because......
Ash knew very well that going to the new world with Red Sun was Star's biggest wish.
“Dar…”
Darkrai nodded, stretched out his hands, and began to gather black energy in his palms.
"No, no! Stop it—!"
Huo Xing was shocked and began to twist and turn his body in an attempt to break free of his restraints, but it was all in vain.
Faced with Darkrai's power, she was like a moth trapped in a spider's web, unable to escape no matter how hard she struggled.
The black hole quickly enveloped Huoxing's body and swallowed her whole.
Huo Xing's consciousness began to slowly sink, as if he were falling into an endless abyss, surrounded by darkness, unable to see anything.
"Go into her dream and take a look."
Ash said to Darkrai.
“Dar”.
Darkrai closed his eyes and entered the dream of the planet.
In his dream, Darkrai saw the Pillar of Spears.
It was a towering and spacious ancient ruin, in which there was a huge altar made of gray-white stone, filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
In the center of the altar stood a familiar figure—Chi Ri.
He was wearing the Galaxy team uniform, tall and imposing, with a cold and stern face, and eyes filled with madness and obsession.
Beside the blazing sun stood Hades and several elite members of the Galactic Team.
They stood there quietly, their faces serious, as if waiting for something.
They brought everything they needed.
Azelf, Uxie, Mesprit, the Diamond Jewel, the White Jewel, and the Crimson Chain.
These are all necessary items for summoning Dialga and Palkia.
Chi Ri raised his hands high, a fanatical smile on his face.
He was performing some kind of ritual, muttering incantations as if chanting an ancient spell.
On the altar, three orbs of light are slowly rotating.
Three legendary Pokémon, Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit, are imprisoned in a ball of light, unable to move, and their faces show signs of pain.
"What about the location information outside?" Xiao Zhi's gaze was filled with seriousness.
He knew that Red Sun's plan had reached its final stage, and if he couldn't stop him in time, the consequences would be unimaginable. If Dialga and Palkia were summoned this time, the destruction to the Sinnoh region would far surpass that of the past.
We must stop him as soon as possible!
The scene in Huoxing's dream was just a vision of Crimson Sun's impending success. It's highly likely that Crimson Sun hasn't yet, or is about to, activate the Pillar of Spears. There's still time.
“Dar…”
Darkrai manipulated the consciousness of the planet, and the range of vision began to gradually expand.
It extends gradually outwards from the inside of the pillar of spears.
First, there are snow-capped mountains, then an aerial view of a single mountain range, and finally the viewpoints are drawn to specific locations.
It's located at the central foot of the neighboring mountain!
Darkrai exited the dream world of the planet and returned to the real world.
After learning the location of the Spear Pillar, Ash immediately began his operation.
"Come out, Circle Bear, Night Demon! Watch them, don't let these people get away."
First, it was the unconscious Starfleet and the rest of the Galactic Team.
Ash sent Ursaring and Dusknoir to guard them, and he figured Dawn and the others would be coming soon, but he didn't have time to wait.
"Deoxys, use your telekinesis to take us there!"
"Deoxys!"
Deoxys responded and instantly switched to Speed Mode.
The crystal on its chest shimmered with a dazzling purple light, and a powerful psychic force instantly enveloped Ash and Pikachu, slowly lifting them up.
"Darkrai, stay behind us!"
Darkrai nodded, transformed into a black shadow, and followed Ash and Deoxys, the group flying together towards the Spear Pillar.
