Chapter 427 Sorry, this road is blocked!
We can't beat them, we can't beat them at all.
Red Sun felt as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his heart, each beat accompanied by a suffocating pain. Gyarados and Crow Head were already panting heavily, their movements noticeably slower, while Dracule continued to float ghost-like in the air, their attacks unable to touch it at all.
What infuriated Akari even more was that Darkrai never launched a single attack from beginning to end; he just kept dodging! It was as if he was toying with them!
"Damn brat..." Chi Ri gritted his teeth, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with intense hatred.
No, there's still a chance! Just because a Pokémon can't beat a trainer doesn't mean the trainer can't!
Red Sun suddenly remembered Pluton's earlier speculation: Ash was likely hiding nearby, using Aura to command Darkrai in battle.
Although we don’t know exactly how far Ash’s Aura can cover, logically speaking, it shouldn’t be too far. If this kind of bug-like power has no distance limit, wouldn’t he be invincible?
Thinking this, a crazed glint flashed in Akari's eyes, like a drowning man grasping at a straw. He abruptly turned and ordered Gyarados and the Crow leader, "Forget about that guy! Flatten everything around here except the altar!!"
"I refuse to believe that brat can hide in the sky!" Chi Ri's voice was hoarse, carrying a resolute determination.
"Roar!!" Gyarados roared to the sky, its huge body suddenly swung, and its tail lashed out at the surrounding stone walls, making a loud "boom" sound, sending stones flying and dust billowing.
The crow leader flapped its wings and flew into the air, condensing a ball of black energy in its beak before suddenly spitting it out, transforming it into beams of black light that shot out in all directions like raindrops.
The entire area around the altar instantly turned into ruins, with stone pillars collapsing and the ground cracking, as if an earthquake had occurred.
Smoke and dust filled the air as Gyarados and Crow Chieftain continued their rampage. Darkrai's figure appeared and disappeared amidst the chaos; it didn't rush to stop them, but waited quietly, like a patient hunter awaiting the perfect moment to strike.
But no matter how hard Gyarados and Crow Head tried, Red Sun never saw Ash's shadow.
Right now.
Ash's voice rang in Darkrai's mind, clear and firm.
Almost simultaneously, Darkrai vanished into the surrounding darkness, leaving no trace.
The next second, it suddenly appeared in front of Chi Ri without any warning, as if it had walked out of the void.
Between his hands, a black energy ball rapidly condensed, churning and surging, radiating a heart-pounding aura.
"Do not!!"
Chi Ri screamed in terror, his voice hoarse, completely losing his usual composure and authority. He instinctively tried to back away, but his legs felt like lead, incredibly heavy, and he couldn't move.
The shadow of failure loomed over the land.
At this critical moment, Chi Ri gritted his teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes. He grabbed Hades beside him and pushed him forward without hesitation, shielding him in front of him.
"Red Sun!! You—"
Hades' voice abruptly stopped, filled with anger and resentment. He stared wide-eyed at the crimson sun, his gaze filled with disbelief.
He never imagined that he would become Chi Ri's shield, a sacrifice for his desperate struggle to survive.
The black hole instantly swallowed Hades, giving him no time to react. He didn't even have time to let out a complete scream before plunging into endless darkness and falling into a deep sleep.
"You've lost your value! Now, help me block this one last time!"
As Chi Ri spoke, he looked at Hades being swallowed by the black hole with cold eyes and no remorse in his heart.
In his view, Hades, or rather the entire Galactic Team, was nothing more than a tool, a tool that could be used.
Since the tool has lost its value, it should be discarded without any regret.
"As long as I haven't been caught and am still alive, able to create my own new world... any sacrifice... any number of people sacrificed is worthwhile!"
Chi Ri knew that from the moment he decided to embark on this path, he had completely lost his way back.
......
Given the vast disparity in strength between the two sides, continuing the fight is pointless; his only fate will be to await legal judgment.
Thinking of this, Chi Ri quickly threw out a smoke bomb and then took out another Poké Ball.
"Go! Crossbat!!"
A flash of white light appeared, and a giant cross-bat appeared on the altar.
Red Sun's collar was gripped tightly by the cross-bat, and then his body was pulled up with it. He flew towards the sky above the altar without looking back.
"Gyarados! Chief Crow, stop it!"
Having resolved his concerns, he pointed to a rock wall above the altar and shouted loudly.
"Crossbat! Use air cut!!"
"That's the weakest point of the Spear Pillar! Create an exit for me!!"
While exploring the location of the Spear Pillar, Team Galactic discovered that they could enter directly from above without the Spear Key, as the rock layers there were very thin and there were no ancient mechanisms to restrict them, so they could simply break through.
But Chi Ri was afraid that doing so would damage the altar, so he still followed the procedure and entered using the gun key. Little did he know that this news would become the key to his escape.
The cross-bat let out a sharp screech, and with a sudden flap of its wings, razor-sharp wind blades sliced through the air as it slashed towards the rock wall.
"boom……!"
The deafening crash of shattering rocks echoed through the empty altar like a death knell.
Cracks appeared on the rock face, and loose rocks kept falling, hitting the ground and raising clouds of dust.
"Almost there! Faster!!"
Chi Ri stared intently at the widening crack, his eyes burning with the flames of survival, his heart pounding as if it would leap out of his throat.
"As long as we escape...as long as we escape..."
He muttered to himself, his voice trembling slightly from extreme tension.
"boom!"
A deafening roar, like lightning piercing the night, or the cry announcing new life, followed. The solid rock wall, sliced through the air by the Crobat, crumbled like fragile tofu.
A huge opening suddenly appeared before Chi Ri's eyes, and the long-awaited sunlight rushed in, as if it couldn't wait to embrace this space that had been dark for so long.
The blinding light made Chi Ri squint. He subconsciously raised his hand to shield his eyes, and after a moment, he slowly lowered them.
"Hahaha...I escaped!!"
Chi Ri roared to the sky, his laughter filled with the ecstatic joy of surviving a calamity. He had succeeded! He had escaped from that devil's clutches!
The cross-shaped bat, carrying the red sun, flew out of the cave entrance.
"Next, all we need to do is..."
However, just as he was about to fly out of the cave, several familiar figures suddenly appeared in his line of sight and blocked his way.
That familiar yet loathsome figure was now adjusting his hat, a knowing smile playing on his lips, and said softly:
"Sorry, this road is closed."
"Pickup!"
Ash and Pikachu stood silently in the snow, waiting for the newcomer.
