My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 159 The Final Battle at the Top of the Tower

Fortunately, for some unknown reason, the road to the top of the tower was not blocked, allowing Tong Hua to reach the top of the tower smoothly.

The view from the top of the tower made Tong Hua gasp for breath.

A massive dark crystal floated in the center of the platform, radiating a chilling, ominous energy that distorted the surrounding light.

Above the crystal, a complex energy barrier, like an inverted bowl, firmly protects it.

The barrier surface shimmered with light, clearly indicating that it could only be deactivated after the last core of the sixth layer was destroyed.

Two people stood directly in front of the dark crystal.

One is the third president of Angel Company, who is also the mastermind behind the Dark Team.

Prak Hall!

The other one, Tong Hua only vaguely remembers the name.

Hui Le seems to be the president's secretary or follower; in any case, he's a comedic character.

"It'll be soon, very soon—"

Prak looked at the control panel in front of him; the progress was slowly increasing.

Because activating the Dark Crystal requires a very strong current, it must be charged beforehand.

It's been charging for almost nine hours now, and the progress bar is still around 90%.

"If the plan hadn't been suddenly exposed, we wouldn't have had to rush things like this—" Huile said anxiously, watching the progress bar with sweat beading on his forehead.

"We've already cut off most of the power grid we control to supply power to Angel Tower, so why is it still so slow?!"

Could it be that the power supply unit downstairs has been destroyed?

"Shut up, Heller." Prak's voice was calm yet carried an undeniable authority. His gaze, hidden behind his sunglasses, never left the slowly ticking progress bar. "Darkness is the inevitable end; the waiting before that is merely entertainment."

Prak remained unmoved; his mind had long been bewitched by the Dark Crystal. Starting with his father, the previous president of the Angel Company, Chang Ying Hall, his family had become slaves to the Dark Crystal.

The diary of Changying Hall, found in an abandoned mine, records the following:

"On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year. The oil reserves in the oil field are getting smaller and smaller. I am really worried about the future energy situation in Armenia."

However, when I went for a walk in the cave today, I found some small black crystals that emitted a deep light, and I seemed to be mesmerized by this light.

On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year. Today I finally found the source of the black crystal, a large piece of black crystal.

It exudes enormous energy potential, and I wanted to get closer to it, but a shadowy Pokémon was guarding it, so I could only pick up some small pieces of crystals.

Oh right, today is my son White Hall's 15th birthday. Sigh, I completely forgot to celebrate his birthday; I feel so bad for him.

(One year later) On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year. Today is my son's 16th birthday. Despite my wife's objections, I changed his name to Prak Hall.

O black crystal, grant my son the power to change the world.

(Some time later) On a certain day in a certain month of a certain year, I made a grave mistake! The power of that black crystal seemed to have corrupted my son's heart.

He's growing more and more ambitious. I'm getting old, while he's full of youthful vigor; one day he'll take my place. I have to rescue you, son, even if it costs me my old bones!

"This is a difficult situation—"

"Trembling—" "Meow—"

Tong Hua hid in the shadows with two Pokémon, watching the Dark Crystal Mother so close at hand, but was powerless to do anything about it.

Having awakened his Aura power, he could clearly sense that the Aura emanating from Prak was no different from that of the Dark Crystal.

"Looks like I'll have to wait until the battle on the sixth floor is over. I have three crystals with me right now. As soon as they break the barrier, I'll just jump over the railing."

"By simply touching the Dark Crystal with three crystals, we can end all of this!"

"Terrifying!" "Meow!"

Foam Chipmunk and Pickpocket Cat were eager to try, and even began to urge Tong Hua to go up and ambush Prak.

But that won't do. Tong Hua, who is familiar with the plot, knows that at this very moment, a Night Demon is also lurking in the shadows at the top of the tower, protecting Prak.

"However—while a sneak attack won't work, perhaps we can try another method that can still influence the situation—"

=****

The group on the sixth floor is battling Aramo, who, with only two Pokémon, doesn't seem to be able to hold out for much longer.

As for the lobby on the first floor, the situation had been brought under control. The main door was blown up again, and the three Mega Evolved Pokémon of Ayse were finally defeated by Interpol and the patrol officers using sheer numbers.

Outside the Angel Tower, more and more members of the Dark Team were successfully captured. However, the Interpol officer guarding the gate looked grave.

Something's not right—

I always felt that the Dark Team's actions were a bit too simplistic and crude.

It seems their plans were disrupted, and they acted hastily.

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a police officer rushing towards him.

"Sir, it has been confirmed that a large-scale power outage has occurred throughout northern Armia!"

It appears that the angel company maliciously cut off the power grids supplying electricity to various regions, severely impacting multiple sectors including healthcare and transportation!

Ranger bases across the region have responded urgently, using Electric-type Pokémon to maintain self-generated power...

"These lunatics!"

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and quickly issued instructions: "Notify all units to prioritize the power supply to hospitals, emergency centers, and essential public facilities! Mobilize all available Electric-type Pokémon to form emergency power supply teams and provide support to designated areas!"

"Technical team, do everything you can to restore power as soon as possible!"

The order had barely been given when a communications officer suddenly exclaimed, "Sir! It seems they've concentrated all the electricity at the top of the tower!"

The officer's heart sank, and he grabbed his binoculars to look at the top of the tower. Although he couldn't see the specific situation, he could vaguely sense that the unsettling energy was becoming increasingly agitated.

"Where is the assault team?"

"We've broken through to the sixth level! But we've encountered fierce resistance! The enemy seems to be doing everything they can to buy time!"

Meanwhile, on the outer side of the tower top, Flying Ranger Tsurufumi and another Chief Ranger were hovering in mid-air, preparing to execute the assault plan.

The outer side of the tower was protected by perfect fortifications. The two tried to destroy the exposed trumpet-shaped devices, but with little success.

They didn't even attract the attention of Plak at the top of the tower. "There's no time to hesitate, we must act."

"Starhawk, charge in and use close-quarters combat!"

He Fuzhen's eyes were resolute as she gave the order!

The Mk Eagle let out a high-pitched cry, folded its wings, and crashed into a seemingly weak structure on the outer edge of the tower like a silver meteor! Its battle aura enveloped its entire body; it intended to forcefully break through using its most primal power!

"Alright, let's go too! Brave Birds, charge!" The other leader didn't hesitate either. His Starhawk was engulfed in azure flames, and he followed closely behind, launching a suicidal charge!

Knowing that time was of the essence, the two chief rangers chose the most dangerous, but also the most direct, method!

boom!!!!

The massive impacts rang out almost simultaneously! The outer defenses of the tower trembled violently under the combined attack of the two raptor Pokémon, the impact points emitting a sickening metallic creaking sound, and even developing tiny cracks!

However, the fortifications were far more sturdy than anyone had imagined! Although they successfully drew the attention of the tower's top, they were not directly breached! Instead, they triggered an even stronger automatic counterattack!

More hidden turrets extended from the tower, and scorching lasers and high-voltage currents poured down like a torrential rain on the two Pokémon and the Ranger who had nowhere to get a foothold in the air!

"Starhawk!"

The two hurriedly commanded their Pokémon to dodge, but under such a dense barrage of fire, the two Staraptors were instantly grazed by several attacks, letting out painful cries, their feathers flying everywhere, and they had to retreat temporarily, their situation becoming increasingly precarious!

Inside the tower, the violent impact and tremors finally made Prak Hall glance at him.

"Hmph, a death throes." He snorted coldly, seemingly unconcerned about the external attacks, his gaze returning to the progress bar that had jumped to 92%. To him, once the Dark Crystal was activated, all resistance would be meaningless.

But the sudden, violent impact terrified him: "President! Outside! It looks like something's about to crash in!"

"What's the panic!" Prak snapped. "Just do your job!"

"Yes, yes!" Huile nodded hurriedly, frantically continuing to operate the device that controlled the power supply to the dark crystal.

However, at that moment, Huile was surprised to find that the code appearing on the screen was completely different from what he had typed!

He quickly pulled his hand back, only to find that the keys on the keyboard were still falling.

It was like seeing a ghost!

"President, president! The keyboard! The keyboard is moving by itself!" Hui Le's voice was choked with sobs as he watched in horror as the control panel keys rose and fell on their own as if pressed by invisible fingers, and the screen was scrolling with commands he could not understand at all.

Prak Hall finally lost his composure and abruptly turned to look at the control panel. His gaze behind his sunglasses was sharp as a knife: "What's going on?!"

The one randomly pressing keys was naturally Tong Hua. He was holding a handsaw in one hand and using the other to type randomly on the keyboard on the control panel.

Although the scene looked comical, in the eyes of Prak and Heller, it was just the keyboard randomly pressing keys.

"This should buy us some time!" Tong Hua looked at the progress bar on the screen in front of him. The progress bar was stuck at 92% and was decreasing instead of increasing!

"Get out of the way!" Prak shoved Heller aside and rushed to the control panel in a panic. At the same time, Tong Hua dodged and continued to maintain his stealth state.

"What on earth is going on?!" Prak roared, his hands flying across the keyboard as he tried to type in commands, attempting to regain control and stabilize the plummeting progress.

However, the screen was still flashing garbled text and error messages, and the progress bar had dropped below 90% and was still decreasing!

Tong Hua held her breath, pressed herself against the edge of the control panel, and moved carefully to avoid touching Prak.

"Nightmare!" Plak shouted futilely, "Check the control panel! Something's up!"

The Night Demon, which had been lurking in the shadows, finally revealed itself completely. Its red eyes swept across the area around the control panel, and its powerful mental energy probed the area like a scanner.

"Om--"

The Night Demon's gaze swept over the area where Tong Hua was, seemingly pausing slightly, but ultimately found nothing unusual, only emitting a low, puzzled buzzing sound.

"No abnormalities?" Prak frowned, his face growing even more grim. "Could it really be a problem with the underground control system?"

"Kuseloschi!" Prak pulled out his communication device, but there was no response at all.

"what!"

At that moment, the barrier protecting the dark crystal shattered, signifying that the sixth floor of the Angel Tower had fallen!

"Now!"

Without hesitation, Tong Hua stood on the railing and jumped!

He threw away the saw and took out the three most crucial crystals from his pocket!

The instant the invisibility effect ended, Plak and Huile on the top of the tower finally spotted Tong Hua!
