Chapter 101: This is a Terrorist Attack
The name of the Haunted House Bai Feng and the others went to was Yaoyao Ling. It was quite large and had different types of venues, with each venue featuring a different type of Haunted House.
For example, there was a Haunted House based on real-life events, where the protagonist was killed in the house and turned into a vengeful spirit to harm people.
There were also Haunted Houses based on historical events, Haunted Houses adapted from fairy tales, Haunted Houses involving Ghost-type Pokémon, and image projection-type Haunted Houses. In short, they were all very realistic and terrifying.
Bai Feng wasn't interested in the Haunted Houses that involved technology; he only wanted to see the type where Ghost-type Pokémon played the roles.
After paying the fee, Bai Feng and his group were led by a staff member to the Ghost-type Pokémon themed Haunted House.
This Haunted House was moderately popular among all the Haunted Houses, so there weren't many people queuing. Soon, it was Bai Feng and their turn.
The architecture of this Haunted House was a castle. As soon as Bai Feng and the others entered, they were in the Lobby.
The lighting inside was dim, making the entire environment shadowy and indistinct. Coupled with the bright red carpet in the Lobby, which looked like bloodstains, it indeed gave off a creepy feeling.
The red carpet wasn't clean; there were many dark spots on it, somewhat resembling traces left by dried bloodstains.
The walls around the Lobby were covered with oil paintings, all depicting portraits. According to the Haunted House's theme introduction, these people were likely the castle's past owners, both male and female.
Among them, the most scared one turned out not to be the two Espurr, but Brionne. It was quietly nestled against Bai Feng's leg, its body trembling uncontrollably, yet it tried to put on a brave face, as if saying, "I'm not scared at all."
*Whoosh~*
Just then, the castle's doors and windows suddenly rattled. A gust of cold wind immediately blew into the Lobby, causing the curtains to sway wildly in the wind, making the environment look even more terrifying.
"Brionne~ Brionne~" Ahhh... Bai Feng, look, quickly look, that person's eyes just moved.
Brionne frantically slapped Bai Feng's thigh, screaming non-stop.
His thigh was getting too painful from the slapping, so Bai Feng pulled Brionne away and looked at the oil painting it was pointing at.
"Where did it move?" Bai Feng asked, confused. He then looked at the other Pokémon. "Did you guys see it?"
Bai Ye, Hatterene, and the Espurr siblings all shook their heads.
"See? It's just your imagination," Bai Feng said, shrugging.
Actually, he knew it might not be Brionne's imagination; it was possible that Ghost-type Pokémon were secretly playing tricks. However, he didn't mention it.
Teasing Brionne was quite fun.
Bai Ye had actually also seen the eyes in that painting move, but it had simultaneously used Psychic to see the Banette hiding behind the oil painting, so it pretended not to see anything.
Teasing Brionne was quite fun.
One had to admit, the mother and son were truly in sync.
*Did I really just imagine it?*
Brionne couldn't help but think so, but it was still a little scared, so it quietly clung back onto Bai Feng.
"Alright, let's keep going forward. Next should be the second floor, right?" Bai Feng said.
"Gardevoir~"
Bai Ye nodded.
So Bai Feng led the Pokémon up the spiral staircase covered with the red carpet.
Suddenly, there was a loud crash from below. Brionne was startled and instantly leaped into Bai Feng's arms.
"Brionne!!!" Ahhh, it happened again!
Bai Feng and the others looked down. It turned out to be just an oil painting that had been blown off the wall by the wind.
Bai Feng patted Brionne's belly. "Look how scared you are. Is it that bad?"
Brionne shook its head vigorously and clung tightly to Bai Feng's shoulders, refusing to come down again.
Helpless, Bai Feng had no choice but to hold it. Anyway, Brionne wasn't heavy.
Bai Ye glanced at Brionne. *This little girl, could you be doing this on purpose? Trying to take advantage of my precious?*
If Brionne knew Bai Ye's thought, it would surely cry out in injustice. Its little brain couldn't hold that much scheming.
Brionne shivered the whole way, and Bai Feng and the others finally reached the second floor of the castle.
The environment on the second floor was even dimmer than the first. As soon as Bai Feng and the others exited the stairs, they were faced with a long Corridor. The end of the Corridor was pitch black, and they couldn't see what was ahead at all.
Whether it was a trick of the light or not, Brionne felt like a shadow had just flashed by. It couldn't help but hug Bai Feng even tighter.
ε=ε=(((＞Д＜)ノノ!! Begone, monsters!
*Bang~ Bang~ Bang~*
Just then, a row of candles hanging on the wall suddenly lit up automatically. The dim candlelight finally managed to illuminate the Corridor.
Ever since Bai Feng awakened his Psychic abilities, his senses had become much sharper. He quickly discovered that these candles were all Litwick in disguise.
Ghost-type Pokémon were always rare. Bai Feng didn't know where the Boss of this Haunted House had managed to get so many.
"Alright, we can go now," Bai Feng said to everyone.
While Bai Feng and the others were "bravely exploring" the Haunted House, a conversation was taking place in a castle at the center of the Haunted House.
A woman sitting behind an Office desk was leaning back in her chair with her legs crossed, saying, "The quality of the fear emotions brought by the Haunted House has been getting lower recently. My precious is a little unhappy."
The woman had long, wavy light brown medium-length hair and wore a black, tight-fitting leather outfit. She had a full figure and a seductive posture. She was the Boss of this Haunted House—Margaret.
"Hehehehehe..."
As Margaret's words fell, a Froslass with a gloomy expression suddenly floated out from behind the chair she was leaning on. It kept letting out strange laughs.
The appearance of Froslass caused the temperature in the entire Office to drop by several degrees. A man in a suit standing in the Office couldn't help but shiver.
The man in the suit was about twenty years old and had naturally curly black medium-length hair that reached his shoulders. His gaze towards Margaret showed respect.
"Margaret-sama, should we release those two Pokémon? Their uncontrolled state has been getting worse recently; they've almost completely lost their minds. We might as well make use of them," the man in the suit said.
Margaret pondered for a few seconds before saying, "That's fine too. Those two guys are quite strong. I hope they can give me a surprise."
The man in the suit said, "They definitely won't disappoint you, Milady."
Margaret nodded in satisfaction. "Very good, Bai Shi. I'll leave this matter to you."
"Yes, please rest assured, Milady." The man in the suit named Bai Shi responded respectfully, then bowed and slowly exited the Office.
After Bai Shi left, Margaret smiled broadly and pulled Froslass closer, saying, "Little Snow, you'll soon get to eat even more delicious fear. Are you looking forward to it?"
"Nanu~ Nanu~" Froslass heard this and happily hugged Margaret.
Meanwhile, Bai Feng and the others finally emerged from the Haunted House. Brionne was completely limp and collapsed on the ground.
Bai Feng said with a chuckle, "It was all just scenes acted out by Ghost-type Pokémon. I don't know what you were so scared of. You're not scared of Gastly and the others at Home!"
"Brionne~ Brionne~" That's not the same! And you guys ganging up to trick me, that's too much!
Brionne looked indignant.
"Alright, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again. Can you forgive me?" Bai Feng bowed to Brionne in apology.
Brionne finally caught its breath and lifted its chin high. "Seeing how sincere you are, it's not impossible to forgive you."
"Then, are we still going to the next venue?" Bai Feng suddenly asked again.
"Brionne~ Brionne~" Ahhh, Bai Feng, are you doing this on purpose?!
Brionne chased after Bai Feng frantically, trying to hit him, while Bai Feng ran away.
"Hahaha..."
Under Brionne's firm protest, Bai Feng and the others naturally didn't go to the next Haunted House.
The group left the Haunted House and sat down on a bench by the street.
"Do you guys want something to drink? I remember there's a milk tea shop nearby that's quite famous," Bai Feng asked everyone.
"Gardevoir~" I want some!
Bai Ye raised a hand.
"Brionne~ Brionne~" Me too, I want some too!
Brionne said impatiently.
"Hatterene~ Hatterene~" Then I'll have a cup too.
Hatterene said, following the others.
"Okay, what do you want to drink?" Bai Feng asked.
Hearing this, the Pokémon all placed their orders. Hatterene also ordered something for each of the Espurr siblings.
"Alright, you guys rest here for a bit, I'll be right back," Bai Feng said, about to head to the milk tea shop.
"Brionne~" I'm going too!
Brionne quickly followed, trotting along.
At the same time, a Murkrow was slowly flying into the city center, clutching two Poké Balls.
In an alley not far from where Bai Ye and the others were resting, the Murkrow stopped. It looked left and right, and seeing no one around, it opened the two Poké Balls.
With two flashes of red light, a giant Steelix and a smoking Coalossal appeared on the street.
"Roar~"
"Coal~"
With two angry roars, the two Pokémon charged out of the alley and rampaged through the street. Their bodies were huge, and in no time, several buildings were knocked down by them.
"Ahhh!!!"
"What's going on? Where did these Pokémon come from?"
"Whose Pokémon are causing trouble?"
...
Soon, the street was in complete chaos.
The condition of the two Pokémon was clearly not right. Their eyes were red, their expressions were frenzied, and their faces were full of destructive urge and aggression.
"Puff puff puff..."
Coalossal suddenly shot out streams of sticky asphalt from its body. Carrying scorching heat, it sprayed them indiscriminately across the street. The surfaces of many buildings melted due to the high-temperature asphalt.
Some pedestrians who couldn't dodge in time were even scalded by the splashing asphalt.
"Ahhh..."
"Run, run!"
"Help, someone save me!"
...
Screams of agony were everywhere on the street.
The Steelix not far away wasn't idle either. It raised its tail and fiercely struck a large building. With a loud roar, half of the building was instantly smashed.
It then raised its tail again and struck the ground. Cracks instantly appeared on the ground, leaving behind a Deep Pit.
"Pokémon Trainers, where are the Pokémon Trainers? Let's work together to subdue these two Pokémon!"
Just then, a Pokémon Trainer stepped forward, and many other Pokémon Trainers responded, throwing out their Poké Balls.
For a moment, Razor Leaf, Water Gun, Thunderbolt, and other colorful Moves were launched at the two Pokémon.
However, the Pokémon Trainers underestimated the strength of Steelix and Coalossal. Their attacks not only failed to defeat the two Pokémon but also made them even more frenzied.
"Roar~"
Steelix roared angrily, opened its mouth, and unleashed a beam of silver light that swept across. Wherever it passed, all the Pokémon were engulfed.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
For a moment, explosions were heard incessantly. A large number of Pokémon lost their combat capability from this single attack.
It was only because this Steelix's special attack capability wasn't strong and wasn't well-suited for Flash Cannon. Otherwise, there would have been even more casualties among Pokémon and Pokémon Trainers from that attack.
Coalossal wasn't idle either. Thick black smoke billowed from its body, and the rocks on its body turned red under the entanglement of Flames. Immediately, scorching hot rocks shot out from its body, not only collapsing a large amount of buildings but also causing fires.
The Biyi City Police Department and the Fire department received notification immediately. However, just as they were about to rush to the incident scene, a group of Houndour and Houndoom with distorted expressions blocked their path.
The condition of this group of Houndour and Houndoom was the same as Steelix and Coalossal.
The moment Officer Jenny saw this group of Pokémon, she frowned, as if she had thought of something. Then, she waved her hand and said to her subordinates behind her:
"Finish this quickly!"
A major battle thus erupted.
The situation with Steelix and Coalossal was escalating. Their strength was too great, and they were completely irrational. Many Pokémon Trainers' attempts to subdue them failed.
The two Pokémon gradually became unsatisfied with just destroying buildings. They noticed each other and immediately ignited a strong desire for battle.
*Boom!*
The two Pokémon collided with lightning speed, and the resulting shockwave caused widespread destruction once again.
Bai Feng had walked quite a distance to find the milk tea shop. He had just gotten his milk tea when he suddenly heard an explosion from afar.
He looked up and saw two giant Pokémon suddenly appear and start rampaging.
"This is bad!"
Realizing that Bai Ye and Hatterene were nearby, he took off running.
"Brionne~"
Brionne even threw away the milk tea it had just received and chased after Bai Feng, whimpering.
Bai Ye and the others were simply too close to where the battle erupted. A large building not far from them collapsed with a roar under Steelix's impact, and scattered stones flew towards the ground below.
"Ahhhhh..."
Screams were everywhere.
A piece of rubble shot quickly towards Hatterene. The Espurr siblings reacted in time and used Psychic together to stop the stone in mid-air.
Too many stones were falling. A huge piece of broken building suddenly crashed down not far away, right where a mother with a child was standing.
Bai Ye was greatly frightened by this scene. Instinctively, it used Psychic to hold up that piece of the building.
"Gardevoir~ Gardevoir~" Hurry and leave!
Bai Ye shouted towards the mother and child.
The mother and child had been scared stiff by the sudden situation. It wasn't until they heard Bai Ye's shout that they fled in panic.
The falling building was simply too massive. Bai Ye's face turned red as it struggled to hold it up.
Only after the mother and child had run far away did Bai Ye find an empty Plot of Land and smash the building there.
