My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 151 Castle Adventure

"Have you found the way yet?"

"I was about to ask you the same thing, did you find anything upstairs?"

"Ugh, it's freezing! I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. Why don't they use more efficient methods to find it? Do they have to resort to manhunt?"

Inside a medieval castle in an ancient city called Almia, several low-ranking members of a secret gang huddled together for warmth.

They were brought here by Seiba, one of the three executives of the Dark Team, in order to find the legendary blue crystal that could rival the Dark Crystal.

The crystal, known as "the tear of the smallest prince," is hidden somewhere in this ancient city of Armia.

This corresponds to the line in the story, "The third prince, however, did not go anywhere; he remained in the castle—"

A henchman rubbed his hands together, muttering tremblingly, "What the hell does this stupid hint even mean! It only says it's in a castle, but why doesn't it mention all these ice blocks blocking the way and doors that can't be opened!"

The henchmen of the Dark Squad were almost driven mad, as the only way to reach the ancient city of Almia from Coldwind Valley was by a waterway that crossed the Ice Lake.

They rowed across the river in the freezing cold to get here, and this godforsaken place doesn't even have a single wild Pokémon that they can control with their devices.

They could only rely on manual, carpet-style searches, which was not only inefficient, but the crew was also freezing to death in the environment.

The group was so cold that they dismantled a wooden door in the castle and lit a fire.

Anyway, their senior officials have disappeared somewhere, and with no one supervising them, what's the point of doing any work? Time to slack off!

"Here, I brought some hot cocoa. Would you like some?"

"Thank you." The henchman next to him took it and carefully sipped it.

A warm feeling flowed into my body, as if I had instantly come back to life.

However, just as they were enjoying the warmth of the fire and relaxing their minds...

A petite figure hidden in the shadows quietly appeared, hypnotizing them all with a grass flute.

My eyelids feel so heavy.

"Hey, don't fall asleep in a place like this!"

"They'll freeze to death—"

"Snoring—"

After confirming that everyone was asleep, Tong Hua and his group, who had been hiding around the corner, finally came out.

"It seems they haven't found the blue crystal yet." Tong Hua breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the Dark Team members lying haphazardly beside the campfire, fast asleep.

"Thanks to Sweet Wuni, I had no idea you could do this."

"Oh my!" Sweetie laughed happily, pleased that she could be of help.

Seven and He Fu tied up a few henchmen, and when they looked at Tong Hua, they found themselves unknowingly mistaking him for their leader.

"What should we do next?"

Do you know where the blue crystal is?

"Of course." Tong Hua nodded affirmatively. "It's in the room in the very center of the castle. There should be a Lucario guarding the Blue Crystal there."

After saying that, Tong Hua looked at Leo Lu standing to the side.

He was an explorer who carried his backpack everywhere he went, and no one knew what was inside. He treated it like a treasure and wouldn't let anyone see it.

"If we can make him understand that we are not bad people, we should be able to take the blue crystal."

"Ooh." Riolu looked at Ampharos, and the two locked eyes.

"It feels much more relaxing than exploring a maze."

"That means, Tong Hua-jun, there isn't even a decent enemy here."

It seems I won't need these; the stone bracelet you specifically wear is no longer necessary.

As he spoke, the electric dragon shook the bracelet on his wrist, the gemstones embedded in it possessing special abilities.

After exploring the ancient city for quite some time, Tong Hua and his companions finally found the gate, thanks to the ability that allows Pokémon to Mega Evolve on their own.

Just like in the game, the door here is also blocked by a huge iceberg.

"We need to find a Fire-type Pokémon to melt the ice. I remember in the game you need to catch a Ninetales here."

"Let me do it." Seven patted Tong Hua on the shoulder, gesturing for him to step back.

"Perfect, let my partner stretch his muscles."

Seven raised the hunting harpoon on his arm, using an ability that only the chief ranger was qualified to use.

"Summoning Trajectory!"

The flying butterflies guided the glowing hunting lines to draw patterns in the air.

After a graphic resembling a summoning circle was drawn, a Xenogear cat emerged from afar with majestic steps.

"Good brother, it's up to you. Lead us through this ice wall!" Seven excitedly stroked the big cat. He had been busy with official duties lately and hadn't seen his partner for several days.

"roar!"

The Röntgen cat let out a deep growl, and its body emitted dazzling golden lightning!

Although he possessed the fire-type skill Flame Fang, he did not use it. Instead, he concentrated his powerful electrical energy and rammed it into the huge iceberg like a golden drill!

This move is called Lightning Strike, and it is an extremely powerful physical attack.

Boom!

A piercing cracking sound rang out! The hard iceberg was no match for the concentrated high-voltage electric shock from the Röntgen Cat, and a huge hole was blasted out of it in an instant, with ice shards flying everywhere!

"Well done!" Chief Seven patted Roentgen the Cat on the back approvingly.

"Miao Ming!" Ampharos was not to be outdone, and together with the other Pokémon, they helped push open the sealed door behind the iceberg.

Behind the door was a deep, downward staircase that seemed to lead to a great depth underground.

That's enough!

Just as Tong Hua and the others were about to continue, a affected and pretentious voice came from somewhere.

"Thank you for helping us find the right location. Snow Fairy, unleash a blizzard!"

2

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a blizzard, just as large as the one outside, swept through the castle!

"Oh no, it's the Dark Team!"

"Tong Hua, quickly take the Pokémon down there! We'll hold them off here!"

Chief Seven reacted immediately, shouting loudly, and at the same time, Chief Crane and Röntgen Cat blocked the entrance to the stairs.

A violent blizzard suddenly swept in from the other end of the corridor, carrying sharp ice shards, and the temperature plummeted!

"I understand!" Tong Hua glanced at the two of them, then turned and led his Pokémon down the dimly lit stairs!

"Miao Ming!" The electric dragon roared, its eyes resolute, and a strong current surged from its body. Without hesitation, it stood beside Seven and Hef, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Roentgenrakili and several Starhawks, facing the raging blizzard together!

He's the head of the investigation team! Protecting his teammates and dealing with danger are ingrained responsibilities for him!

"Chuchu!" "Boyoyo!"

Also staying behind were the messenger bird and the three little fairy minions in his pouch. They weren't going to abandon their companion trapped in the blizzard! They were going to stay and provide support!

Happiness Dessert House: Delivering delicious food, mission accomplished!

"Ming-oh!" "La-hua!"

Riolu and Pink Celebi turned to look at Ampharos, both letting out worried cries.

"Miao Ming." The electric dragon didn't turn around, but simply raised his arm and waved the bracelet inlaid with stone.

The two Pokémon understood and said nothing more, following Tong Hua as they ran down the stairs.

A group of people slowly emerged from the blizzard.

The blue-haired man at the head of the group was striking a pose that looked incredibly irritating. Even in the midst of a blizzard with temperatures below zero, he still insisted on posing.

"Hmph, I am Sei, one of the three executives of the Dark Team. You dare to oppose our Dark Team. Your courage is commendable."

Let me see if you're qualified to go all out against me!

As he spoke, he touched the collar around his neck, where a strange, spherical stone was embedded.

That's a Keystone, a crucial item for Mega Evolution, an extremely rare item that the leader specifically obtained for the three executives.

There's also the Snow Fairy Evolution Stone that comes with it, which is said to have been obtained by that fat guy from Carlos.

"Who asked you?" Seven was disdainful of Shi's self-introduction.

Having been a ranger for so long, he had never met anyone who could be more pretentious than himself.

"Hmph! Snow Fairy, let's teach them a lesson they won't forget! Unleash the freezing wind!"

Shi snorted and snapped his fingers.

The snow fairy beside him spun gracefully, and an even more biting wind mixed with ice crystals swept towards Seven and the others like countless cold blades!

"Roentgentodo, Thunder!" "Starhawk, Air Blade!"

Seven, Thurp, and several Pokémon were not to be outdone and immediately launched a counterattack!

Meanwhile, the Electric Dragon and the Delibird are also working hard in their own ways!

"Chirp chirp!" The messenger bird used its gifts, accurately identifying those that could heal and those that could explode, giving a heal to its own side and an explosion to the opponent!

"Poyoyo!" The three little fairy milks were not idle either, constantly releasing fragrant mist, as well as acting cute and charming, strengthening their teammates while weakening their enemies.

"Miao Ming!" The electric dragon's eyes were firm as it raised its arm!

Time was of the essence; a dazzling light shot out from the stone on the bracelet, enveloping the electric dragon's body!

"This is?!"

"The Light of Evolution?!"

Seven and Tsuru were both taken aback, while Seiya, standing opposite them, immediately reacted.

"You guys can also super evolve?!"

The arrogance on Shi's face was instantly replaced by shock as he stared in disbelief at the electric dragon enveloped in the light of evolution.

In the dazzling white light, the electric dragon gradually grew flowing hair, becoming taller and stronger, and the light emanating from the orb on its tail became as dazzling as a small sun!

The light fades, and the Mega Electric Dragon makes its grand entrance!
