As a trainer, he has the rain trait

Jiangnan region, Fangshan.

A man and a woman were walking towards them from afar on the rugged mountain path.

The man was about twenty years old, with a handsome face. The woman was a few years older than the man, tall and slender, wearing a simple white silk dress. Her long black hair was tied behind her head with a ribbon, she had two thin eyebrows, red lips and white teeth.

These two people are Zhilin and Xu Qingyan.

"The reaction is very intense...it seems like it's very close." Xu Qingyan suddenly stopped, and the red-gold scales in his hand were vibrating slightly.

"There's a Pokémon blocking the road ahead!" Zhilin frowned slightly and looked straight ahead.

They saw a emerald green mantis standing proudly in the middle of the path they had to take. Its eyes, which should have been clear and bright, were now covered in blood red, emitting a terrifying murderous light.

"Be careful, this Scyther is a little abnormal..." Xu Qingyan said.

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a crisp "dang" sound. It turned out that the crossbat quickly spread its wings to block the attack of the flying mantis. The crossbat's wings trembled slightly, and it was obvious that the flying mantis was quite powerful.

"So fast!" Zhilin sighed secretly in his heart. If the bat's reaction had been a little slower, he would have been in danger of getting hurt.

"It has lost its mind... It doesn't seem to be affected by the changes in the earth veins, it should be the work of the Fuhai people." Xu Qingyan opened her red lips slightly, her voice was clear but revealed a cold murderous aura.

Zhilin nodded slightly, his expression stern, and then said in a deep voice: "Cross-bat, a quick fight and a quick decision!"

The cross-shaped bat received the order, flapped its wings leisurely, and flew towards the flying mantis.

Although the Scythe was aggressive, it was completely irrational. It was unable to catch the figure of the Crossbat, and its sickle arms were slashing around with whistling wind.

The cross-shaped bat just flapped its wings slightly, and a ray of air like a bright crescent slashed towards the flying mantis.

Scyther was unable to dodge and was hit accurately on its right wing by the Air Slash. It let out a shrill scream and rushed towards the Crossbat even more frantically, but its movements were slow and full of flaws.

Like lightning, the Crossbat struck from behind, its fangs gently biting the Scythe's neck. The Scythe trembled only slightly before closing its eyes and fainting.

"There's something really wrong with this Sly Mantis. It doesn't seem to be afraid of pain." Zhilin said with a frown.

Xu Qingyan explained softly, "It took the medicine given by Fu Haizhong."

"Medicine?" Zhilin looked puzzled.

"A banned drug developed by the Floating Sea Clan that can overdraw the vitality of Pokémon to provide them with greater strength. The side effect is loss of sanity."

"Not surprisingly, that's the style of those beasts." Zhilin cursed inwardly.

"Discovering this situation here means that the Fuhai Clan is most likely the culprit causing the abnormal ground veins."

"Let's first take a look at what the ground veins are like!"

Xu Qingyan nodded and continued forward, guided by the Yanlin scales.

As they gradually went deeper into Fangshan, the surrounding scenery became more and more eerie and gloomy.

The branches and leaves of the trees that were once lush and green have now become withered and sparse, as if they have been drained of vitality.

The ground beneath my feet was no longer solid, and it emitted a faint foul smell, as if some evil aura was surging underground.

As they reached a valley, the crimson-gold scales in Xu Qingyan's hand trembled violently, their light blazing brightly. "It's nearby. The source of the ripples in the earth should be in this valley," she said in a solemn voice.

Zhilin looked around vigilantly and saw a layer of light purple mist in the valley, with faint red light flashing in the mist.

As they stepped into the valley, the red light turned into pairs of blood-red eyes, and a group of insane Pokémon emerged from the mist, emitting a fierce light, and were obviously controlled by the banned drugs of the Floating Sea Clan.

"It looks like we're going to have another tough battle." Zhilin clenched his fists and summoned his other Pokémon to prepare for the enemy.

Xu Qingyan let Moltres fly into the air and used the power of Moltres' fire to disperse some of the fog so that he could see the surrounding situation clearly.

The Moltres flapped its wings and flew high, blazing flames spewing from its mouth. The scorching flames and the mist blended together, making crackling sounds, and the mist around them began to slowly dissipate.

However, those controlled Pokémon seemed to be unable to feel the scorching heat of the flames and rushed towards Zhilin and Xu Qingyan frantically.

Zhilin's Dragonite rushed forward first, releasing powerful electric currents from its body, colliding with the Pokémon in the front, and sparks of lightning flew everywhere.

Xu Qingyan commanded the other Pokémon and cooperated with Zhilin to form a defensive formation to resist the Pokémon's attacks.

"Electric Dragon, thunder, separate them!"

Upon hearing this, the current in the body of the Electric Dragon suddenly surged, and then countless thick electric currents shot towards the most densely populated area of the Pokémon group like dancing silver snakes.

Wherever the electric current went, the controlled Pokémon were knocked away, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning.

Xu Qingyan also calmly commanded, "Red Lotus Armor Cavalry, Blue Flame Blade Ghost, charge in!"

Two figures, one red and one purple, rushed out and disappeared in an instant. The next moment, they were like a sharp blade, piercing into the core of the Pokémon group. With their powerful strength, they dispersed the out-of-control Pokémon group.

"Crossbats, provide support in the air and use ultrasonic waves to interfere with them!" Zhilin continued to give orders.

The Crossbat circled in the air, emitting sharp ultrasonic waves. The invisible sound waves surged towards the Pokémon group like a surging tide, making their movements slow and chaotic.

With their tacit cooperation, the attacks of the Pokémon group were gradually disintegrated.

But these Pokémon controlled by the Floating Sea Clan felt no pain. They showed no fear at all when facing the Electric Dragonite and continued to rush in madly in waves.

At the crucial moment of the battle, Moltres swooped down from the sky, its body ablaze with flames, like a falling meteor. Wherever it passed, the controlled Pokémon were scorched by the intense heat of the flames, dissipating into wisps of black smoke.

With the addition of Moltres, the situation of the battle turned around instantly.

The Pokémon group began to show signs of collapse. One by one, the controlled Pokémon fell under the powerful attack and lost their ability to fight.

Finally, the out-of-control Pokémon group was completely defeated, and a dead silence filled the valley, with only the faint breathing sounds of the fallen Pokémon.

The fog that filled the valley was also purified by the flames of the Fire Bird and completely dispelled.

The sunlight finally poured down unhindered, illuminating every corner of the valley, but it also exposed the strange machine standing abruptly in the middle of the valley to Zhilin and Xu Qingyan, attracting their attention.
