Chapter 403 Emegio Frozen
The intimacy is over.
Li Luochen rubbed his hands together, a smile still lingering on his lips.
He cleared his throat, trying to pull his attention away from the soft, squishy sensation he had just experienced.
"Alright, we're almost at the depths. Just tell me what Pokémon you need, and I'll definitely get it for you."
"Okay." Lillie's voice still had a slightly soft, sweet tone at the end, as if she hadn't fully recovered from the emotions she had just been experiencing.
She lifted her face from her hands, the blush fading slightly, but her ear tips remained pink. She then looked around, her gaze sweeping over the surroundings with a hint of confusion.
"But Brother Luo Chen, why are there no Pokémon around here?"
Hearing Lillie say this, Li Luochen was taken aback and noticed it as well.
He had visited the hidden area of Rongcheng University several times, and he remembered that this snowfield should be quite lively.
Snow Children like to peek out from behind bushes, and geometric snowflakes often drift over their heads in groups. Occasionally, you can also see a few Ice Babies rolling around in the snow.
But now, as far as the eye can see, everything is white, as clean as a freshly laid-out sheet of paper...
There were no footprints, no cries, and even the wind was unusually quiet.
"Brother Luo Chen, are you sure there are Pokémon here?"
"Normally, yes."
Li Luochen was also somewhat suspicious.
It's too quiet.
Lillie walked to his side with her shoulders hunched, her breath quickly dissipating in the wind.
"Did something... happen?"
"That's possible, then we need to speed things up."
......
......
The depths of this secret realm have never been so quiet.
The Ice Rock Monster was lurking at the forefront, its massive body half-buried in the snow, like a silent mountain.
It had been a long time since it had sat up so formally.
The last time was three years ago when that lost Tyranitar wandered in.
It remained motionless, its eyes blinking occasionally, its amber pupils fixed on the misty snow slope.
The message was relayed by Yuki-Douji.
The usually most mischievous little guy stumbled into the camp, his face contorted as if he'd seen a ghost. He could barely speak, only managing to shout, "That man is back!" before Bingbao behind him covered his mouth.
The entire snowfield was in an uproar.
The geometric snowflake was the first to react, its core at the center of its body flashing wildly, blue light flickering in and out of the white mist, as if sending out some kind of emergency signal.
The ice sprites were so frightened that they spun around in place, kicking up a patch of snowflakes. They collided with each other, bounced apart, and rolled into a ball.
The snow-hatted monsters huddled behind the bushes, pushing and shoving each other, none daring to peek out.
"Ice Rock!" (Silence!)
The Ice Rock Monster's voice rolled across the snowfield like muffled thunder.
It didn't even turn around, but just slapped its tail hard on the snow, sending flying snowflakes hitting the few Ice Babies that were still spinning around.
The little ones froze instantly, remaining in the position of being hit, not daring to even blink.
Blizzard King squeezed through the back of the line, his every step making the snow tremble.
It walked up to the ice rock monster and asked a few questions in a low voice.
The ice rock monster shook its head, then nodded, its expression so solemn it seemed to be discussing some matter of life and death.
Several leaders approached, and the Snow Fairy floated in mid-air, the ice crystals under her skirt tinkling softly as if afraid of disturbing something.
The tundra bear squatted to one side, its paws nervously scratching at the snow, having already dug a small hole.
"Blizzard..." (Is it really him?)
Blizzard King's voice was very low.
"Ice Rock." (Confirmed.)
The Ice Rock Monster said.
The leaders exchanged glances, and the atmosphere grew even heavier.
The news spread not long ago.
A messenger bird returning from visiting relatives brought that name.
The man connected to Li Luochen has arrived!
He is said to be Li Luochen's apprentice.
The Ice Rock Monster remained silent for an entire day after hearing this.
Then it began to recruit leaders.
The scene in the secret realm at that time could almost be described as a riot.
The Snow King arrived from the ice cave in the north, the Tundra Bear put down the half-eaten berry, and the Snow Fairy floated out from the deepest ice cave.
Geometric snowflakes lined up in rows, drawing complex symbols in the sky above the snowfield, as if they were setting up some kind of formation.
The Ice Treasures were sent to the outer perimeter to keep watch, while the Snow Child was responsible for relaying messages. The entire secret realm entered a state of high alert.
They had thought from the beginning that Li Luochen would come.
After all, if the apprentice comes, the master will definitely come too.
Now, Li Luochen has really arrived.
The Ice Rock Monster's heart was pounding heavily, each beat feeling like an ice hammer striking its chest.
It has lived for so many years and seen many trainers, but it has never seen such a scene before.
Even before the person arrived, the mere mention of their name was enough to make all the Pokémon in the entire snowfield uneasy. It unconsciously swallowed, letting out a low gurgling sound.
"Snow..." (Will he... hit us?)
A snowman peeked out from behind the ice treasure, its voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.
The ice rock monster did not answer.
It didn't know how to answer.
The Blizzard King's claws clenched and unclenched at his sides, the icicles on his arms cracking and popping.
It is not afraid of fighting, but it is afraid of losing.
They were even more afraid of losing in front of the entire clan.
The snow fairy floated to its side, gently placing her icy hand on its shoulder. She didn't speak, but simply stood quietly.
The tundra bear finally stopped digging and squatted on the snow, its ears standing straight up.
"Ace!" (He's here.)
Bingbao's voice came from the front, thin and high-pitched, like that of a eunuch.
All eyes turned towards the snow slope.
White mist billowed.
Two blurry silhouettes appeared at the top of the slope, heading downhill.
Hundreds of Pokémon, not one of them made a sound.
"Ice Rock." (Where are the hostages?)
"The ice rock monster asked."
rustling...
The Snow Fairy gently raised her hand.
The ice crystals under her skirt tinkled a few times, and a few fine snowflakes drifted from her fingertips, tracing silvery arcs in the air.
The snowdrift behind me moved.
Several Ice Babies emerged from the snow, their chubby bodies still covered in snowflakes. They ran to the side of the group with their short legs, formed a circle, and then arched backward together.
The snowdrift was blasted open, revealing something frozen solid inside.
It is a piece of ice.
To be precise, it was a piece of ice shaped like a human.
The ice block was lifted out by several geometric snowflakes working together, swaying and hanging in mid-air, gleaming with a cold, eerie light under the blue glow of the snowfield.
The ice was very thick, and the outline inside was blurry. It could only be seen that it was the shape of a person, with their hands frozen in front of them, but the person was otherwise unharmed.
And it was Amegio who was frozen in ice.
That's right, he's been targeted ever since he entered the secret realm.
The outsider still carried Li Luochen's aura.
For these Pokémon, who else would they freeze if not them?
However, Amegio was not injured.
It was only slightly frozen, but the food and drinks were not lacking.
If Li Luochen hadn't come, they were prepared to release Amegio.
But things are different now.
Li Luochen is here!
Amegio must have scouted the location beforehand!
