EBE Chapter 153 The Secret Realm of Black Pot Lake
Chapter 153 The Secret Realm of Black Pot Lake
Those who break through to the B-level in terms of aptitude are often artificially cultivated offspring.
As the Salamence flapped its wings, it soared into the sky.
The buildings below gradually shrink, densely packed together.
"Kai, how many gyms have you fought?"
"This is the 7th badge so far."
He told the truth.
When the small badge was mentioned, Ye Anna seemed to be deep in thought.
It's like reminiscing about the days when I was still in China, challenging gyms back then.
"What about you, Second Sister?"
Ye Kai countered with a question.
"Not many, Maple Leaf Alliance 4, Cherry Blossom Alliance 7, Dragon Kingdom 5..."
Ye Anna was not referring to the small badge.
It's the large badge, the official badge!
The small badges are used within each alliance to help their own members.
If a challenger from another region comes to fight the gym, the gym leader will naturally go all out!
It seems that the second sister is quite powerful.
"So, you're already a Level 3 professional trainer?"
"Heh, there are differences between different levels 3."
"If you could find a Level 3 professional trainer who could beat all 19 gyms in the Dragon Kingdom, I reckon you'd get crushed."
He didn't reply; Ye Kai actually knew someone like that.
This person is Chu Feng.
However, Chu Feng and Anna are unrelated people.
He naturally wouldn't mention it.
The three people quickly landed on the top floor of a tower.
Ye Kai had also heard of such towers.
Those who can afford to live in such places must at least be wealthy.
Many people around Anna greeted her, and she responded in bird language.
Ye Kai couldn't understand a single word.
The facilities here are complete.
Not only shopping malls and Pokémon centers, but even gyms and the Sakura League building branch are all nearby.
The three arrived at Anna's residence.
The suite was luxuriously decorated, and even the door was opened by two female attendants.
The sofa was so soft you could sink into it...
Ye Kai took a small sip of coffee and ate a cream puff with gold leaf on it.
This cream was freshly squeezed from CreamyCream.
"So, what are your plans for the future?"
"Come out, Sticky Baby."
"I want to evolve this guy into a subspecies here. I wonder if you have any leads, Second Sister?"
Subspecies such as Xicui Nianmeier and Nianmeilong have been sighted in a small area near the Sakura Alliance in this world.
Its numbers are so small that many people don't even understand the principles of its evolution.
"I've studied this thing before. If you're talking about it evolving into a subspecies, it's not something that can be solved simply by making a trip here."
"To make the sticky creature grow an iron shell, it must drink natural water containing iron, which will have an effect on its mucous skin."
"Black Pot Lake is a very special place, and ordinary people are prohibited from entering... Strictly speaking, it is not a place you can go."
Black Pot Lake?
Ye Kai had also heard of this place name.
A magnitude 10 earthquake once struck, shocking the world and triggering a tsunami.
This event happened more than 60 years ago...
It is now an entity that has been erased from the map.
Many occult enthusiasts and psychics like to go to that godforsaken place.
"Black Pot Lake is in the vanished Black Swamp City. It cannot be found by navigation; only a psychic can find it."
Psychics are different from superpowered individuals.
They can see Ghost-type Pokémon with the naked eye, and some even have special abilities such as X-ray vision and telepathy.
They are even more mysterious than superpowered individuals.
"&%&……%"
Then Anna spoke a bunch of bird language with the girl named Wing.
"But you're lucky. She has an acquaintance who's a psychic and lives here."
"It was agreed beforehand that getting him involved would cost at least 200 million."
"..."
Ye Kai remained silent for a moment before agreeing.
Given Anna's abilities, there was absolutely no need for her to lie to him.
The price of 200 million is just a drop in the ocean compared to the future of Sticky Treasure.
Money that needs to be spent should not be spared.
"Money is not a problem, let's go."
Everyone took the elevator directly to the 13th floor.
"Boom boom boom!"
"￥@@%￥ (Who is this?)"
"Shiba-san, we have something we'd like to ask you."
"Please come in."
These words sounded like gibberish to Ye Kai.
He couldn't understand it, so he could only judge from the other person's expression.
At first, this guy named Zhibo was chatting and laughing.
After all, Anna and Tsubasa are both beautiful women, and they are both very strong.
But when he heard that they were going to Black Pot Lake, he couldn't laugh anymore.
"...%￥ (Black Pot Hu is one of the death zones in our line of work; many of our colleagues have disappeared.)"
His voice wasn't loud, but he seemed to be thinking about something from the past.
Kurosawa Castle is where Shiba's grandfather used to live...
He moved from the rebuilt Kurosawa New Town when he was a child.
Today, Kurosawa is a ghost town, with only a few nostalgic elderly people still living in the surrounding area.
"if……"
"Then 300 million! Please."
Yi pouted and acted coquettishly, her big, watery eyes making it hard to resist.
Zhibo nodded.
"Ding!"
Ye Kai paid Anna 300 million, and she then gave the other party the money.
In fact, Ye Kai noticed that Zhi Bo hesitated for a moment, as if he himself wanted to go there.
Of course, this is just speculation.
Finally, Shiba-san arranged the departure.
This is a strange time.
3:33 AM, 33 seconds...
The four people entered Jiushi Aicheng, taking a crooked and erratic route.
Japan is not a large country, so the distances between cities are quite short.
If you're riding a spirit, the journey will take at most an hour; if you fly, it will be even faster.
Ye Kai did not sleep that night, but instead chose to meditate to conserve his energy.
Shiba led the team and released four wind-borne balls.
This kind of spirit is almost synonymous with disappearance, which is very ominous.
However, since the other party was a professional, Ye Kai didn't say much.
These are some kind of magical methods; they're comparable to shamanistic rituals.
The wind-borne ball carried everyone for an unknown amount of time, and the clouds beneath their feet had grown quite thick.
Ye Kai appeared calm.
But after being blown by strong winds at high altitudes, looking down still feels terrifying.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but he felt slightly dizzy and his scalp felt numb.
Being a trainer is a life-threatening profession!
The ball finally landed.
"Finally in!"
"Follow Shiba-san's instructions in everything, and don't run around."
"Ah."
Ye Kai had already realized that this place was a secret realm.
The current location is no longer within the Sakura Alliance.
At this moment, a chilling wind blew around, and a terrifying atmosphere filled the surroundings.
Ghost-type energy was floating everywhere in the air.
"Come out, Gengar!"
"Gengar!"
Apart from Ye Kai, all three of them have Gengar, and their levels are not low.
"Hehehe~"
They hovered around, some even disappearing directly into the trainer's shadow.
That frightening feeling has finally subsided considerably.
The streets seemed deserted for a long time, completely empty.
The dilapidated buildings around here have a style reminiscent of the early modern era of the Sakura Alliance.
Almost all of them are made of wood, with a few buildings in a Western style...
In the sky, the large moon looked like an eye, staring intently at the four people.
The moon can be seen from any angle.
“￥@%￥…”
"Don't look back, and don't look at the houses around you... just keep walking forward!"
Anna translated what Shibo was saying.
We walked for quite a while.
Shiba told everyone to stop where they were, and he didn't return until a full five minutes later.
When they returned, a Flower Rock Monster was with them.
So that's why he wanted to come?
"The Flower Rock Monster is composed of 108 souls. To prevent it from committing evil again, it was bound to the Wedge Stone."
Looking at the description on his phone, Ye Kai couldn't help but observe the guy.
Rockruff is a very rare Pokémon, and can be considered a legendary Pokémon among Ghost-type enthusiasts!
After Shiba recalled the Rockruff into its Poké Ball, the group continued on their way.
The dilapidated town gradually disappeared.
Then a mountain path appeared.
"There's something wrong with this. Are you sure you want to go in?"
"Heh, so cowardly? You think we had a choice after we came in?"
Ye Kai couldn't hold back any longer and started complaining to Anna.
The four people then passed through three more buildings known as "torii" (torii gates).
Then there was an unusually long flight of stairs.
"Why haven't we arrived yet?"
"Go in peace."
Ye Kai is quite patient; his legs are aching from walking so much.
The key point is that this place has become increasingly strange ever since you pass through the "torii gate".
But Shiba-san was very excited, surrounded by familiar scenes from his childhood.
He even took off his glasses several times to wipe away his tears.
The fog was thick...
The moon was so red it looked like it could drip blood.
I felt very, very close to them.
Along the way, many Ghost-type Pokémon attempted to attack them, including Shadow Word: Death, Misdreavus, and Woodpecker.
However, without any Pokémon, it is no match for three Gengar.
Wild Pokémon were almost instantly killed by Gengar!
More Ghost-type Pokémon let out low growls, watching the four people from a distance.
After a while, the group finally reached the top of the steps and saw the dark lake.
That's incredible!!
In this place, the sky is red, and the clouds are black...
This scene reminded Ye Kai of the "Tsukuyomi" technique used by someone in an anime he had watched in his previous life.
