Chapter 810 The Evil Squid Dr. Flywheel

Li Shuwen and his group continued to venture deeper into the second level of the Ice Crystal Cave.

The ice walls on both sides of the passage reflected a faint blue light, and a chill spread from the soles of the feet to the whole body.

After turning a corner, another controlled Pokémon jumped out.

The Ice Demon's eyes were also scarlet, and it exhaled piercingly cold air from its mouth.

The vine snake eagerly stepped forward, its vine whips extending from the leaves on both sides of its body, cracking loudly in the air.

"Leave this Ice Demon Guard to me!"

Before the Ice Demon Guard could even aim at the Vine Serpent, the vine whip had already wrapped around his body.

With a powerful flick of its wrist, the Ice Demon Guardian was slammed into the rock wall like an ice ball.

boom!

The ice wall shattered, and the Ice Demon was embedded in the ice.

But the Ice Ghost Guardian quickly broke free, its body glowing blue.

He unleashed an avalanche and charged towards the Snivy.

"Avoid it and then attack with the Iron Tail." Li Shuwen's voice was calm and clear.

Snivy instinctively did as she was told, pushing off with her feet and leaping lightly into the air, the Ice Ghost Guard rushing past her.

Her tail gleamed with a metallic sheen as she leaped into the air, and the iron tail struck Ice Demon Guardian precisely on the back of the head.

The Ice Demon Guard crashed to the ground, scattering ice shards everywhere.

Ice Ghost roared, flipped to its feet, and spat out a beam of freezing light that swept across the area.

The Snivy leaped away again, but the Ice Ghost pursued relentlessly, and the avalanche surged up once more.

"Use shadow clones." Li Shuwen's command was like a timely rain.

The Sniper suddenly split into four, and the Ice Ghost Guardian, having lost its target, blindly rushed towards each of the clones.

The clone shattered, and a new clone appeared.

The Snivy's true form circled around to the side of Ice Demon, and its Iron Tail lashed out at Ice Demon again, sending him flying.

Then the Sniper took the opportunity to entangle the Ice Demon Guardian with its vine whip and repeatedly slammed it against the ground.

He was thrown left and right, slammed to the ground and crashed into the wall. Ice Ghost Guard was dizzy from all the slamming, but his body was very strong and he did not lose consciousness.

Instead, it erupted again, and a blizzard surged forth from within its body.

Forced to loosen its vine whip, the vine snake retreated to avoid the attack.

Li Shuwen's voice rang out again.

"Snivy, believe in yourself!"

The Sniper's gaze sharpened.

She stopped retreating and began to spin, with emerald green leaves gathering around her.

Leaf storm!

The emerald green leaves rotated faster and faster, and the ever-expanding leaves became denser and denser.

It transformed into a verdant tornado and swept towards the Ice Demon Guardian.

Countless emerald green leaves engulfed the Ice Demon Guardian, slicing through his body and sweeping him into the eye of the storm.

As the storm subsided, Ice Demon Guardian lay on the ground, eyes closed, finally unconscious.

The vine snake landed, panting heavily. Her body began to glow.

It's white light, the light of evolution!

Tengteng's body lengthened, its limbs became more slender, the leaves on its neck became more lush, and its eyes changed from arrogant to calm.

Snivy has evolved!

The little fire monkey jumped and bounced with excitement.

"Great! The Green Vine Serpent has evolved too! Now we're strong enough to challenge for a B-rank expedition team!"

The Green Vine Snake turned its head and looked at Li Shuwen, its eyes filled with gratitude.

"Thank you, Butupa."

Li Shuwen waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. I'm just helping you develop the potential that you already have within you."

The three Pokémon continued on their way.

Explosions from the battle echoed from deep within the passage, and they quickened their pace.

As they rounded a bend, the scene before them made their hearts tighten.

Ice Six-Tails was blasted away by a jet-black energy ball, crashing to the ground with an injured leg, its blood staining the ice.

She struggled to stand up, but fell down again and again.

As the approaching Mavila drew near, his eyes were filled with despair.

"Someone, please save me!"

The Green Vine Serpent transformed into a green shadow, its iron tail lashing out at the Mawla with a whooshing sound, sending it flying.

The Weavile, with its bloodshot eyes, rolled over and got up, its claws radiating a chilling aura.

He unleashed a freezing punch and pounced on the Green Vine Snake.

With a flick of its vine whip, the Green Vine Snake precisely ripped away the Weavile's claws, while another vine whip wrapped around its ankle, and the Iron Tail lashed out at the Weavile's head once more.

Mallow fell to the ground, the ice shattered, and she lost consciousness.

The Green Vine Snake turned its head, its voice cold and sharp.

Are you alright?

Ice Sixtail blushed slightly.

"I'm alright, thank you for saving me."

Li Shuwen squatted down, took out some herbs from his backpack, crushed them, and applied them to Bing Liuwei's legs.

"How are you feeling now?"

Ice Vulpix stretched its legs.

"You can walk now, but you can't walk fast."

The little fire monkey asked curiously:

"Vulpix, do you know why the Pokémon in the cave go berserk?"

Ice Six-Tail nodded and said eagerly:

"I know a little bit. It was a squid king that gave everyone a peculiar ice crystal, saying it could replace the ice stone and allow everyone to absorb it to increase their power, or even evolve."

"But I always felt that the Squid King wasn't a good person, so I didn't use his ice crystal and continued to search for the ice stone."

"But most Ice-type Pokémon used his Ice Crystal, and then... they were driven mad by a strange device in Malamar's hands."

"I happened to secretly see him using that device to make two hairy pigs go berserk. I didn't expect that when I was about to return to the first level of the maze, I was targeted by that Weavile."

The little fire monkey was puzzled. "Why would the Squid King do that?"

Ice Vulpix shook its head. "I don't know either."

Li Shuwen asked, "Six-Tails, is that ice crystal still there?"

Ice Six Tail nodded and took out an ice crystal stone that glowed with an eerie purple light from its backpack.

Li Shuwen took it and could feel an evil spiritual energy contained within it, cold and sticky, making him feel mentally uncomfortable.

The Pokémon that created this item must be extremely evil.

Just by looking at the ice crystal, Li Shuwen could tell that this was a very pure villain.

His life was probably filled with nothing but pure evil and destruction.

Such a person is out of place in this relatively quiet and peaceful world.

This is no ordinary Pokémon; we must strike hard!

"Let's go back first and tell Quick Fist Bro what happened."

The four returned to the first level of the maze. After listening to their report, Quick Fist Bro's expression became extremely serious.

"It's Professor Squid Gear, a very evil Pokémon whose goal is to destroy the world. He controls Ice-type Pokémon, probably to destroy Pumpkintown."

"The Ice Crystal Cave has six levels, and there are hundreds of Ice-type Pokémon training inside. If they are all controlled, Pumpkin Town will probably have a hard time resisting Professor Squid Gear's attack."

Li Shuwen said, "Judging from the Pokémon that attacked us, they should not be completely under control yet."

"If we can destroy that control device, perhaps we can bring them back to their senses."

Quick Fist nodded. "I'll stay here. You guys go back to the Adventurers' Guild and get reinforcements. This messenger mission is also classified as Rank C. I'm counting on you."

He wrote a letter requesting help and handed it to Li Shuwen.

Li Shuwen nodded, "Don't worry, we will deliver the letter to Chansey as quickly as possible."
