My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 149 Escape from Death

Behind him followed a Forkbat and a Squid King, which seemed to be his ace Pokémon.

"How's the experiment going?" Kutheroschi, dragging his somewhat overweight figure, walked toward Ichi, the leader of the group of researchers.

"It went very smoothly."

Yi Zhi nodded expressionlessly. If it weren't for the Dark Team threatening him with his beloved younger sister, he would never have participated in such an evil plan.

"Hehehe, that's good." Kutheroschi said, his fat face jiggling.

Those shrewd and greedy little eyes swept over the steadily operating device and the suspended crystal, revealing a satisfied expression.

After Vladari and Team Flame were crushed, he first researched new combat suits in the city of Miare in the Carlos region.

After being tracked down by Interpol, it traveled to many different places before finally escaping to this region that is not under the jurisdiction of the Trainer League.

The cross-bats behind him flapped their wings silently, their scarlet eyes scanning their surroundings warily. Meanwhile, the King Squid floated in mid-air, its tentacles swaying slightly, emanating a chilling aura.

"Work hard, and once the plan succeeds, I'll reunite you with your sister."

Yi Zhi kept her head down and didn't say a word. Her hands, hidden in the sleeves of her white coat, were clenched into fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her palms.

At the same time, the Squid King behind Kutheroschi scanned the entire room and suddenly felt that there was something strange about the room that he couldn't quite put his finger on.

"Gah—"

A pale blue spiritual wave slowly spread, scanning every corner of the room.

"What's wrong?" Kutheroschi looked at his partner with a puzzled expression.

"Could it be that Interpol agent who likes to disguise himself again?"

The mere thought of that handsome Interpol agent made Kutherloschi feel a physical discomfort and almost made him tremble!

That elusive guy is skilled at all kinds of disguises. He not only ruined his plans time and time again, but also abducted his only volunteer and a whole set of E-combat suits!

I heard that guy has recently tracked down to Almia, which has made Kutheroschi very nervous for a while, and he can't even sleep soundly at night.

Seeing the Squid King's reaction, Kutheroschi instantly became suspicious, seeing everyone as if they were that damned Interpol agent in disguise.

"Get out here!" Kutheros roared, his voice echoing in the empty laboratory. "Stop playing tricks! I know you're here!"

The researchers and members of the secret team in the laboratory were startled by his sudden outburst, and they looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

Meanwhile, Tong Hua, standing in a blind spot of the surveillance camera, gripped the handsaw tightly and kept chanting in his mind.

"You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me—"

I had originally planned to steal the two crystals, but now it seems impossible. The invisibility effect will disappear as soon as I make a move.

Once you've been noticed, the impression you leave on others is hard to erase.

Tong Hua wondered what was wrong with that fat guy, how could his senses be so sharp? He prayed in his heart that the other party wouldn't notice him. The two Celebi beside him were also frightened by the tense atmosphere and couldn't help but hold their breath.

After a while, the Squid King withdrew its spiritual power and shook its head at Kutheroschi.

"call-"

Kuselouschi and Tong Hua both breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll leave this place to you guys. I'm going back to catch up on some sleep." Kutheroschi rubbed his throbbing temples, feeling like he was having a nervous breakdown.

He yawned, then turned and walked towards the laboratory's private elevator with Crobat and Squid King in tow, his obese figure looking somewhat tired.

The tense atmosphere in the laboratory only eased slightly after the elevator doors closed completely.

The researchers and the team members exchanged glances and whispered a few words before refocusing their attention on their work, but they were all clearly somewhat distracted.

Tong Hua and the two Celebi hiding in the corner finally breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves relaxing slightly.

"That was close—" Tong Hua wiped non-existent cold sweat from her forehead. "I need to plan how to steal the crystal."

"La-hua—"

"I was terrified!"

Pink Silavi patted his little chest, and Green Silavi nodded in agreement.

"Professor, could you please contact Chief Seven? I might need someone to come and meet me."

"No problem," came Professor Shinhara's reliable voice from the other end of the communication.

"I don't know how deep underground this place is. After I get my hands on it, the only way to leave will probably be by elevator."

I remember it took a long time to get on the elevator. Maybe I should find another escape route. For now, I'll wait until there are fewer people here before making my move.

So, Tong Hua found a corner where the surveillance cameras were blind spots and sat down quietly. She imagined herself as a stone, silently watching people come and go in the room.

Time passed by, minute by minute. The researchers in the laboratory were changing shifts, and the team members also changed shifts several times.

During this time, Tong Hua saw Yi Zhiye leave and not return for a long time. He had originally planned to pretend to take Yi Zhiye hostage and take her with him, but now it seemed that would be too difficult.

"Shravasti, do you think it's possible for us to escape using short-distance time travel?"

Tong Hua got bored while waiting and asked the two invisible Celebi in his arms.

So-called short-distance time travel refers to traveling to the future, a few minutes or even a few seconds in advance.

In such a short time, not even a trace would be left in the time tunnel, let alone be discovered by anyone.

"If you can, hold my finger."

"La-hua." Pink Silavi firmly grasped Tong Hua's hand. She had used this trick before to escape from Dark Dialga several times.

However, she has not yet regained her powers and does not have the ability to time travel.

"Wow?" The powerful green Celebi shook her head; she had never tried this before.

However, it should still be achievable, but it's uncertain how long it will last. Thinking of this, Green Rabbi also grasped Tong Hua's hand.

"Okay." Tong Hua understood and felt more confident about the escape plan.

After some time, perhaps around lunchtime, the number of people in the lab noticeably decreased, leaving only a few researchers and guards on duty, who appeared somewhat tired and relaxed.

An opportunity seems to have arrived.

"Professor, is Chief Seven in position?" Tong Hua asked in a low voice.

"I've arrived at Angel Company and am ready to assist you at any time," Professor Shinhara replied. "Are you ready to proceed?"

"Um."

Tong Hua took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and fixed her gaze on the two crystals that emitted a soft light.

He carefully avoided the watchful eyes of the staff on duty, gliding like a shadow towards the central experimental table. Two shirabi followed closely behind, ready to provide support at any moment.

The two crystals were quite large, seemingly bigger than a person's head.

Tong Hua held a handsaw in one hand and opened the equipment capsule that Professor Shinhara had prepared with the other.

"Portable robotic arm, start!"

Under Tong Hua's control, a capsule quietly cracked open, accompanied by a subtle mechanical sound, and a delicately structured miniature robotic arm quickly unfolded and was strapped to Tong Hua's waist.

"One more, please."

The two robotic arms grabbed the two crystals at the same time, and at the same moment, Tong Hua's invisibility effect was instantly canceled!

"Who goes there!"

Almost the instant Tong Hua appeared, a member of the Dark Team on duty noticed the anomaly, shouted loudly, and raised his weapon!

The other drowsy team members and researchers were also instantly awakened, looking in surprise at the unfamiliar young man who had suddenly appeared in front of the experimental table.

"Shrabah! Now!" Tong Hua shouted without hesitation!

"Wow!!"

The two Celebi were already ready, with the green Celebi in the lead, and a force that transcended time and space enveloped them both.

The time-space portal opened, and the three of them, along with the crystal, vanished instantly!
