I lost contact in the fairy world

Chapter 628 Desperate People, the Road Ahead

In the city of Jiqing, when the alarm sounded over the city, Lulina was standing on the metal observation deck of the Jiqing Gym, watching the desperate scene of the city below as if the end of the world was approaching.

After Peter launched the Never-Setting Sun Plan, the entire wilderness area went completely out of control. The gigantic red light column expanded wildly, and the blood-red light formed in the wilderness soared into the sky and could be seen even from as far away as Jiqing City.

When Flame's group overcame numerous obstacles and dangers of Gigantamaxed Pokémons and arrived at the nearest city from the wilderness, this building with gears and steam as its theme now looked like a wounded mechanical beast. The huge gears stopped turning and the steam pipes emitted a dying wail.

The dynamite storm in the Galar wilderness spreads like a plague, dragging the former industrial pearl of Mecha City into the vortex of doomsday.

This two-decker city famous for its steam power is now becoming an isolated island. The towering chimneys no longer spew out thick smoke, the rusty rails are filled with abandoned machinery wreckage, the red brick walls that once symbolized prosperity are covered with cracks, and the broken glass curtain walls reflect the sky covered with red clouds.

The Pokémon Center in the lower city area has long been overloaded. The corridors are filled with exhausted trainers and wounded Pokémon. Nurse Joy's white coat is stained with blood, and her trembling hands are still injecting medicine into a burned braided sheep.

The elevator entrance was crowded with people trying to escape to the upper floors. The cries of children and the coughs of the elderly were intertwined, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant and fear.

The wilderness area outside the city was like purgatory. The gigantic Incinerator crushed the railroad tracks. The magma spewed out by the super-giant charcoal mountain carved huge cracks on the plains. The red light column in the distance was still slowly expanding, constantly absorbing and spewing out endless gigantic particles.

The moat of Mecha City had long dried up, and the riverbed was filled with charred Pokémon corpses. Occasionally, a team of trainers would try to break through the blockade of the Dynamax Pokémon in the wilderness, but they were always turned into charcoal by the sudden Dynamax lightning.

At the Mimosa Inn on the edge of the city, an old miner was wiping his ancestral coal badge with trembling hands.

"Once upon a time, we built this city together with Pokémon..."

The firelight outside the window was reflected in his cloudy eyes.

"The roar of the steam engine was once the most beautiful music. Now..."

Before he finished speaking, a loud bang shattered the glass. A Gigantamax aluminum steel dragon broke into the city and crashed into the warehouse next door. People screamed and ran away, but the old miner held the coal badge in his arms tightly, as if it was his last hope...

When dusk falls, the city falls into darkness. Only a few areas still have emergency lights on, like sporadic phosphorescence in the deep sea. People huddle in the corners, silently waiting for dawn or the final judgment.

The Mecha Arena at dusk was shrouded in a scarlet haze of Dynamax particles, and the broken gear sculptures let out dying wails in the wind.

The arena in the upper city area has become a temporary shelter. The stands that originally accommodated tens of thousands of spectators have now been divided into countless cubicles by canvas. The gym leader Kawu is directing the gym trainers to settle the refugees in the gym.

The once majestic fire-attribute gym has been reduced to a supply warehouse, with medicines and bandages salvaged from the ruins scattered on the shelves.

In the arena, looking at the refugees pouring in, Xiaoyou clutched Hep's sleeve, her knuckles turned white from the force, and her voice broke in her trembling throat.

"There are more and more refugees. If this continues, the gym will be full sooner or later..."

The battle stage in the center of the arena had long since been turned into a makeshift medical area, with seriously injured Pokémon whimpering weakly under the canvas.

The refugees either huddled in the rusty auditorium or stared blankly at the rolling red clouds in the sky. Some were praying in low voices, while others were counting the few remaining supplies.

Hep's nails dug deep into his palms, and the blood that seeped out from between his nails dyed the Poké Ball on his waist red.

He stared numbly at the blood-red beam of light in the distance, the Dan Emperor's last words echoing in his ears.

[I will guide Galar's future, even if it means breaking all my wings! ]

The victims burned by the Gigantamax particles, the railroad tracks destroyed by the Incineroar, and the houses swallowed by the magma of the Gigantamax Coal Mountain, all turned into sharp blades, carving painful scars on his heart.

Could these be the broken wings?

"It's all my fault... If I could stop Big Brother... If I could be stronger..."

Hep suddenly muttered to himself, his chestnut hair falling to cover his bloodshot eyes.

Xiaoyou suddenly turned around and hugged his trembling body, her lavender-scented hair trembling slightly in the blood mist.

"It's not your fault, Hupp."

Her voice mixed with the sound of sirens in the distance.

"You've tried your best. Never give up. We can still do something. Look, aren't we all fighting?"

The young man looked up suddenly and saw that through the gap in the dome of the arena, Xiaohong's burning figure was colliding with the Gigantamaxed Incineroar. The fire energy burst into tragic fireworks in the twilight.

On the battlefield of Jiqing City, Xiaohong's hooves stepped heavily on the twisted railroad tracks of Jiqing City, and Chiyan left an afterimage on the twisted railroad tracks.

The super-giant Incineroar that invaded Mecha City stretched across the east side of the arena like a dark red mountain range. Its segmented appendages crushed the steel structure stands beside the tracks, sparks splashed on the metal surface like waterfalls, and the flames that spewed out from its opening and closing mouthparts burned the ground into charred grooves.

"Wow—!"

Xiaohong's cry tore through the haze, purple-red flames flowed on her body surface, her right hoof crushed the ground, and the spiral trail of flames rotated like a drill, burning the surrounding air into a distorted prism.

The body of the Burning Centipede suddenly shrank, and its limbs slammed the ground violently. The super-giant Hundred Fires Burning Wilderness turned into a scarlet net that enveloped Xiaohong.

Xiaohong's flame trail trembled violently under the impact of high temperature, and her left hoof was burned with a charred scar. She leaped up nimbly, and her hooves kicked out a series of kicks in the air. Each kick condensed a materialized fire blade.

This is the effect of comprehending the elemental body to the level of elementalization. The illusory fire element has become as solid and heavy as a sword under Xiaohong's feet.

In an instant, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the shell of the Flame Centipede, and blood as hot as magma gushed out from the wound, creating heat waves on the ground.

"Well done!"

Hep, who was watching the fight from the side, couldn't help but let out an excited shout.

Huohong, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, snorted coldly while sitting at the top of the arena, but he had to admit Xiaohong's progress.

Since the last battle with Peter, Xiaohong has become more and more proficient in using his elemental body. He is now able to overcome the gap in Dynamite and deal with wild Dynamite Pokémon.

"hiss--"

The injured body of the Incinerator suddenly glowed red, and dark red energy surged like boiling magma. It opened its huge mouth, and a column of flame as thick as a bucket shot out, carrying gigantic particles.

Xiaohong's red flame swayed violently under the impact of the fire wave, and in an instant her figure was engulfed in flames.

"Oh no! Xiaohong is in danger!"

Xiaoyou screamed in surprise and was about to go forward to help.

His fiery eyes trembled, but he suppressed the urge to move forward.

"If you can't even pass this kind of test... then there's no point!"

In the super giant hell flame of the Incineroar Centipede, Xiaohong's body was constantly burned by the flames. Her body disintegrated in pain and was about to turn into ashes.

But in extreme pain, Xiaohong's will remained firm. The fiery devil's teachings kept echoing in her ears. Her eyes suddenly brightened as if she had grasped the mystery of Wuji!

In the bright firelight, Xiaoyou's worried eyes suddenly lit up and she let out an excited shout.

"Oh my god, Xiaohong... has evolved!"

I saw Enma Rabbit's body turned into ashes in the flames, and suddenly reassembled in the firelight.

When the aftermath of the Super Giant Hell Flame dissipated, Xiaohong, who was now in the form of Cuju Youngster, with her new evolved posture, pierced through the fire wave barrier with a spiral column of flame, burning spiral scorch marks on the head of the Incinerator.

The gigantic body let out a whine as it could not bear the heavy burden in the high temperature, and its shell peeled off like glass. Xiaohong seized the opportunity and stomped heavily on the opponent's compound eyes with both hooves!
Flame Rabbit's meteorite is broken!
Seeing Xiaohong imitating him and performing a copycat version of Fire Dragon Skyfall, the corners of Huohong's mouth, which had just slightly risen, twitched.

"What the hell, it doesn't look like anything at all!"

The bombarded Incineroar let out a loud bang, and its gigantic form collapsed into a point of light in the flames. Its metallic limbs suddenly shattered into dark red gigantic particles all over the sky.

Xiaohong knelt on one knee, blood oozing from under the fur of her right hoof, but she still raised her head stubbornly. Her pupils reflected the gradually dissipating red light column, and the flames around her condensed into pure red-gold in the twilight.

"Hup, did you see that? We can't give up now."

Xiaoyou wiped the blood from the corner of Hepu's eyes and touched his hot skin with her fingertips. "Do you remember the oath you made when you set out in Hualang Town? You said you wanted to become a trainer who surpassed Dandi..."

Hep suddenly began to tremble violently, and Dandi's champion cloak fluttered in his memory.

He reached for the Poké Ball at his waist, and the remaining body temperature of the Lizard came through the metal shell.

The boy took a deep breath, looked up at the burning dragon in the sky, and the fire in his eyes rekindled.

"That's right, I'm Hepu, the man who wants to surpass Big Brother! I have reasons why I have to surpass him!"

The veins on his hands bulged as he clenched the Poké Ball, and drops of blood seeped from between his fingers and dripped onto the metal floor of the arena, making a crisp sound.

The refugees looked up in surprise and saw the boy's straight back standing like a sword under the blood-red setting sun, his chestnut hair emitting tiny arcs of light in the giant particle storm.

"Everyone listen to me!"

Hep's voice pierced through the dark red haze of Dynamax particles and echoed throughout the gym.

"We will not be defeated! As long as we have breath, we must protect Galar!"

Outside the arena, the roar of the Gigantamax Aluminum Steel Dragon shattered the clouds, and in the boy's eyes, what was reflected was the rising sun of Hualang Town, the cry of the braided sheep when it successfully used the collision for the first time, and Xiaoyou's always warm smile.

"Here, I think you need it more than I do."

Behind her, Sonia pulled out her gigantic wristband from her bag and threw it at Hupp.

Hepp took the wristband, and the two looked at each other and there was no need for further words.

As Hep's shouts echoed through the arena, the Ultra-Giant Carbon Mountain outside the city was smashing into the city's defense walls with its molten fist.

The barrier, made of reinforced concrete, groaned under the heavy load and molten metal seeping from the cracks flowed like magma.

"It's our turn now!"

Hep threw the Poké Ball high up, and the moment the blue-purple light exploded in his palm, he suddenly felt a familiar vibration - it was the resonance of the Gigantamax energy and the power of bonds.

The boy's pupils suddenly contracted, and he noticed that flowing water energy patterns appeared on the surface of the scales of the Lizard. This Pokémon that accompanied him through Galar was now looking at him with trusting eyes, as if to say, "No matter what you face, I will fight alongside you."

"Gigantamax!"

Hep's scream was accompanied by shattered glass, and the water energy around the lizard suddenly reacted violently with the gigantic particles in the air.

The blue-purple light shot up into the sky and exploded into a brilliant aurora on the dome of the arena, turning the entire city into a deep blue sea.

The Ultra-Giant Carbon Mountain was obviously angered by the sudden energy fluctuation. It opened its huge mouth filled with molten lava, and the Ultra-Giant Fire Rocks erupted into a dark red meteor shower, dyeing half of the sky into a sea of ​​fire.

The corners of Hep's clothes were instantly singed by the high temperature, but he showed a resolute smile.

"Change into a lizard and use shadow clone!"

Hep's lizard transformed into several ten-meter-high water-blue shadows in the Dynamite energy, and countless water guns poured down on the giant charcoal mountain lava armor like a rainstorm.

However, the shell of this Gigantamax Pokémon actually emitted dark red mist the moment it came into contact with water energy.

"Something's wrong! Its Dynamax energy is absorbing water attacks!"

Xiaoyou's scream was drowned out by the sound of lava explosion.

The water gun of the Lizardman was dyed dark red the moment it touched the giant charcoal mountain, and the water energy disappeared like sea water absorbed by a sponge.

Hep was horrified to find that the lava lines on the surface of the giant charcoal mountain were expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the originally charred volcanic rock shell was actually showing a dark red luster.

"Retreat quickly!"

He roared at the top of his lungs, but saw the giant charcoal mountain raising a giant molten fist. The Dynamite particles wrapped around the fist emitted a disturbing red light.

"boom--!"

The lizard was hit in the abdomen, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on its aqua-blue energy body. Hep felt as if his internal organs were hit by a heavy hammer, and a sweet and fishy taste surged in his throat, but he still stared at the battlefield.

"Transform into a lizard! Shadow clone!"

He was responded with a whine. The clone that the Transfiguration Lizard had barely condensed was evaporated by the high temperature as soon as it appeared. The main body staggered backwards, and the water energy at the tip of its tail completely dissipated.

Its right forelimb had been burned by the molten lava, and the flesh and blood exposed where the scales had fallen off was sizzling and smoking.

"It's impossible. Why would a water-type move be absorbed?"

Xiaoyou rummaged through his backpack tremblingly, only to find that all the medicines had been used up in the previous battle.

Hep suddenly noticed that there were several familiar red badges floating in the lava flowing at the foot of the Giant Carbon Mountain. They were the coal badges of the trainers of the Mecha Gym. These badges, contaminated by the Dynamax energy, were providing a continuous source of fire amplification for the Giant Carbon Mountain.

"I see."

The boy's nails dug deep into his palms.

"It devoured the energy of the gym badge, and the Gigantamax energy particles decomposed the water-type moves and transformed them into its own power."

At this moment, the giant charcoal mountain opened its huge mouth of molten lava, and the dark red light beam emitted by the super-giant fire stone penetrated the entire arena.

The lizard tried to use its last bit of strength to create a water curtain defense, but it was completely evaporated.

Hep only had time to see the lizard's longing look before it was sucked into the pillar of fire.

"Do not--!"

As the boy shouted, the Poké Ball of the Lizard bounced from his waist and was smashed into pieces by the waves of fire in mid-air. The fragments turned into blue-purple light spots, piecing together the last image of the Lizard in front of Hupu: its scarred body was facing Hupu, and the weak water energy at the tip of its tail was swaying like a candle flame.

"You said you would stand up again no matter how many times"

Hep knelt on the scalding ground, letting his tears drip onto the remaining scales of the lizard.

"So this time, please trust me again!"

When the second wave of attack from the Giant Carbon Mountain was about to hit, Hep suddenly grabbed the scale and injected all the power from the Gigantamax Wristband into it.

A bluish-purple light burst out from the scales, forming a vortex in the giant particle storm.

The broken body of the lizard reassembled itself in the light. The originally soft scales on its abdomen became as hard as diamonds, and the fin-like protrusions on its back split into twelve cold and sharp blades.

Looking at the slender azure elf in front of her, Sonia couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Success! The lizard has evolved! This is the Chameleon!"

Hep's resolute face was reflected in the pupils of the Thousand-Faced Chameleon, and the crescent-shaped blade on its tail suddenly burst out with brilliant water energy.

This is not an ordinary Dynamax move, but a secret that condenses Hep's bond, the obsession of the Lizard, and the wishes of the entire Mecha City - the Super Dynamax Sniper Shot!

A blue-white tsunami exploded in the center of the arena, pushing back the eruption of the Ultra-Giant Fire Rock from the Giant Charcoal Mountain. When the two energies collided in the clouds, the metal buildings throughout the city resonated.

Hep saw the water column of the Thousand Faced Chameleon pierce through the lava core of the giant charcoal mountain as accurately as a sniper bullet.

As the core was pierced by the Super Gigantamax Sniper Shot, the huge body of the Giant Carbon Mountain suddenly collapsed and turned into dark red Gigantamax particles all over the sky. The coal badge fell from the sky and glowed again.

When Hep caught it, he felt not only the inheritance of the gym, but also the burning hope of all Galars in desperate situations...
