Elf: The Crimson Path of Legend

Page 186

Crimson, meanwhile, surveyed the new island, its surroundings, and the area behind it, raising an eyebrow and a knowing glint in his eyes.

Was this storm really created by that guy? Was it a test set up for trainers like them who wanted to go to the new island?

Now, on the sea not far from the new island, there is neither strong wind nor heavy rain nor waves, only the vortex formed by the clouds in the sky, which is somewhat unusual.

However, this scene only existed around the new island, while the area they came from was still being battered by storms.

"..."

After pondering for a moment, and gazing at the approaching new island, Crimson had a sudden thought.

He retrieved the crimson power from Azure, Ash, Brock, Misty, Pikachu, and Pikachu.

Immediately afterwards, they successfully arrived at the location invited by the "strongest Pokémon Trainer" (cdbg)... New Island!

...

...

And at the same time.

Above the sky, above the clouds!

Under the full moon.

"Meow~~~~"

A petite, pale pink figure flashed by, passing through layers of air, and flew here.

Meow~~~!

It tilted its little head, looked around, and then seemed to have found something. Suddenly, it leaped up and disappeared into the clouds.

...

...

At this time, on New Island.

"Phew~ It's finally here."

After reaching the shore, Azure was the first to jump off Laplace's back, stretch, and exhale.

"Yes, Brother Chi, Sister Lan, thank you so much."

Is this the new island?

"It looks like a castle."

"Pika~Pika~Qiu!"

"..."

Ash and his friends also got off Lapras's back, thanked Red and Blue, and looked around at the buildings on the new island.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Red touched Lapras's neck, whispered something, and then took out a Poké Ball to recall it.

Then, they followed Azure and Ash's trio to the castle-like building on the new island.

"I never imagined that what was once a deserted island would somehow develop into such a large castle. It's truly unbelievable..."

Walking along the road, looking at the castle, which almost completely occupied the island, Azure couldn't help but sigh.

"..."

Crimson nodded in agreement, and he also sensed something eerie about the castle, a feeling somewhat like superpowers.

...

...

"Thank you sincerely for coming."

At the entrance, a woman stood there. After Crimson and the others arrived, she gave them a slight bow and then led them into the castle.

"Ah? It really is you in that poster!"

Although the woman was well-covered, Xiao Gang's sharp eyes still immediately recognized her.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the woman was slightly taken aback.

"I saw Miss Joey on the missing person poster at the dock!" Xiao Gang said excitedly as he looked at the woman in front of him.

Now that you mention it, it does look quite similar...

Upon hearing this, Bilan and Xiaoxia couldn't help but take a closer look at the woman who was greeting them, and then they greeted her.

"I don't know who you're talking about..."

The woman they were scrutinizing had empty eyes, devoid of any emotion, and spoke like a puppet, like a machine:

“I have been working in this castle since I was born.”

"Alright, please follow me. All the other guests have arrived."

(But wasn't New Island a deserted island that was only discovered a few years ago? How could it be that they've been working in the castle all this time...?)

Upon hearing the woman's words, Bilan, who had done extensive research on Niijima before arriving, immediately frowned and was about to say something when...

The woman had already led them into the castle's main hall, so she had no choice but to put her doubts aside.

"..."

Crimson, who was behind Azure, noticed her confusion and patted Azure on the shoulder to signal to her.

The two exchanged a glance and then walked together into the castle's main hall.

Of the dozens or even hundreds of trainers who originally rushed toward the new island, only two or three trainers were able to reach this place!

...........................................

222. The most powerful Pokémon trainer, Mewtwo! (Please subscribe to all chapters!)

"Those are the trainers who arrived before you..."

The woman led Crimson and the others into the hall, and looked at the three trainers who were already sitting at the table not far away, waiting, and spoke.

On both sides of the hall, there were dozens of Pokémon, which should belong to these trainers.

"Only three people?"

There were clearly so many people at the dock.

"Yes."

Seeing that there were only three trainers in the hall—Ash, Misty, and Brock—he asked with some confusion.

If I remember correctly, there were more than three people who rushed into the storm together to reach the new island.

"Trains who cannot overcome that storm cannot attend this banquet, even if they are invited."

The woman glanced back at the three of them, her tone unchanged, speaking in a robotic manner.

"Was that storm a test for us?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Gang seemed to understand something and immediately asked a question as well.

"Please release your Pokémon from their Poké Balls and then take your seats. You are the chosen trainers."

The woman did not respond to Xiao Gang's question. Instead, after arriving inside the hall, she turned around at the dining table, bowed to Chi Hong and the others, and spoke.

"..."

At the same time, Crimson suddenly sensed something, raised its head slightly, and its sparkling eyes seemed to be able to see the sky through the castle ceiling.

He sensed a faint, almost imperceptible presence approaching, and it seemed to have already arrived above the new island...

(Is it...that guy?)

"Aka, what's wrong?"

Just as crimson thoughts began to arise, noticing the crimson azure, she asked a question out of curiosity.

"..."

After thinking for a moment, Crimson shook her head slightly to indicate that it was nothing, and then turned her gaze to the three trainers sitting on either side of the dining table in front of her.

"You guys are here too?"

One of the bird trainers, dressed as a trainer, greeted Red and the others as they approached.

Seeing this, Xiao Gang asked, "Did you all cross that sea too...?"

"I flew here by air!"

The bird trainer patted the Pidgeot beside him and replied, "For my Pidgeot, this little hurricane is nothing..."

"Beep~Eagle~!!!"

"Everyone, please say hello."

Then, the bird trainer called to the Pokémon behind him.

They are Sandslash, Hitmonlee, Scyther, Rhyhorn, and Venusaur, plus Pidgeot, making a total of six. All of them are quite strong, around the veteran level.

This bird trainer is a highly experienced professional!

"I crossed the sea on a Gyarados!"

This is another trainer, a boy dressed somewhat like he's wearing shorts. He pointed to the Pokémon behind him, most of which are water-type, and spoke.

They are Tentacruel, Golduck, Vaporeon, Seadra, Nidoqueen, and... Gyarados!

"Gyarados? Is that the ferocious Pokémon Gyarados?"

Upon hearing what the boy in shorts said, Ash immediately went over and excitedly asked.

"Ah."

This boy in shorts is also a veteran trainer. All six of his Pokémon are at the veteran level, and his Gyarados has even reached the advanced veteran level.

"I'm with this child, and them..."
