Chapter 294: Abyssothorn and Kira Kyi!
Chapter 294: Abyssothorn and Kira Kyi!
Snap—
Sparks flew from the campfire, illuminating the night sky.
The dark canopy above was adorned with countless stars, occasionally punctuated by a streaking meteor, playfully flicking its tail.
Jinghe lay on the grass, his head resting on Ice Nine-Tails' soft and cool tail, gazing up at the starry sky, feeling incredibly relaxed.
Da Wu, Yasha, and Du Juan were all seated on the ground, their faces illuminated by the orange glow of the campfire.
"Will there be a comet tonight?" Yasha asked, holding a small stick and poking at the fire.
"Probably not," Du Juan replied softly.
"According to reports, the Millennium Comet will appear at the earliest tomorrow or the day after," Da Wu said, examining a stone in the firelight.
Jinghe stretched leisurely and sat up.
"Gramps, how's the fishing going?"
He glanced to the side.
There, by the stream, Gramps, Gigaforg, Bear Apprentice, and Coalomass, the four little guys, formed a fishing squad, sitting side by side on a smooth rock, each holding a simple fishing rod.
Hearing Jinghe's voice, Gramps wore a stern expression.
He stared intently at the water, watching the Kingdra swimming circles around his bait without biting.
Splash—
The Kingdra's tail whipped the surface, splashing water and drenching Gramps again.
Seeing this, Gramps was truly "angry."
He couldn't take it anymore! Gramps clenched his hands, ready to jump into the stream.
The Kingdra, seeing the lightning in Gramps' hands, shuddered and momentarily stiffened before bursting into a blinding white light.
Jinghe: ???
Question marks appeared above the heads of Jinghe and the three others sitting around the campfire.
The next moment—
"Roar!!!"
A terrifying Gyarados with deep blue scales leaped out of the water, roaring loudly.
The Kingdra, startled by Gramps, evolved into a Gyarados with a menacing look and a hint of mockery in its large eyes.
You threatened me, but now I've evolved. What are you going to do about it?
However, Gramps laughed heartily at the Gyarados' evolution.
Good, good, good. If you hadn't evolved, I wouldn't have an excuse, but now that you have—
"Hngga!"
Gramps jumped with all his might, and in the Gyarados' somewhat surprised gaze, he delivered a powerful slap to its head.
Bang!!
The Gyarados, which had been aggressive a moment ago, now fell straight into the water, creating a huge splash.
It flipped over, lay on the surface, and passed out.
It drifted away with the current.
Seeing this, Gramps felt a surge of satisfaction.
"Hngga!"
Time to pack up!
It was clear.
The fishing squad had failed!
Useless!
Gramps and the Kingdra had been entangled in a battle, Bear Apprentice had fallen asleep while fishing, and Coalomass, who didn't know how to fish, didn't even have a hook.
The most outrageous one was Gigaforg.
Jinghe looked at its metal hooks, each as big as a fist.
"Gigaforg, are you trying to catch a Blooper?" Jinghe couldn't help but ask.
Gigaforg scratched his head in confusion and asked innocently:
"Really?"
Are Bloopers delicious?
Jinghe's eyes twitched.
Is that a question of taste? After a long silence, he finally spoke.
"They're incredibly delicious."
Gigaforg's eyes lit up at once.
It's decided!
I must catch a Blooper in this lifetime!
Gigaforg made a grand vow.
"Hmm?"
Jinghe finally noticed the situation with the Rainbow Feather in his pocket.
He took it out.
The Rainbow Feather shimmered with a faint light, emitting a lustrous glow.
Didn't I just feed it a few days ago?
How could it be hungry so soon?
Jinghe instinctively channeled Wave Guide Power into the Rainbow Feather.
The feather's brightness intensified, and the flickering light became more pronounced.
【Rainbow Feather: That's enough! I feel like I'm about to burst!】
Da Wu and the others also noticed the Rainbow Feather in Jinghe's hand.
Yasha exclaimed in surprise:
"This feather can even glow!"
"Is that the Rainbow Feather?!" Du Juan's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Rainbow Feather? What is it?" Yasha looked puzzled.
Da Wu's face also showed surprise as he explained:
"The Rainbow Feather is a legendary feather from the divine beast, the Rainbow King. It is said that the Rainbow Feather only shines when it encounters a pure-hearted Trainer."
I didn't expect Teacher Jinghe to have the Rainbow Feather.
Has he received the blessing of the Rainbow King?
"Pure-hearted Trainer... Teacher Jinghe?"
Yasha's eyes darted between Jinghe and the Rainbow Feather, filled with astonishment.
Rainbow Feather, have you mistaken the person?
Jinghe pretended not to hear Yasha's words and frowned slightly.
"It seems like the Rainbow Feather has discovered something."
He stood up and walked around with the feather, and as he approached a certain direction, he could feel the light from the feather changing.
Is it over there?
He looked up, but it was pitch-black, and he could barely make out the silhouettes of the towering rocks.
And so.
The group decided to go and take a look.
It was a good time to digest their meal.
Although camping was relaxing, it was also quite boring. If it weren't for not wanting to battle with Jinghe, Yasha might have already issued a challenge.
Could it be... Kira Kyi?
"Guka~~"
Coalomass led the way, its head and body flames providing excellent illumination.
Yasha and her Rapidash brought up the rear.
It had to be said.
Having a Fire-type Pokemon during camping trips or outdoor activities was incredibly convenient.
"Hengga~!"
Gramps put on his sunglasses and stuck his tongue out playfully at the Lotadex.
The "Adventure Squad" was officially formed! The wilderness at night was completely different from the daytime.
A Pidgey perched on a branch, cooing, while the bustling forest echoed with the flapping wings of Zubat and Golbat.
Occasionally, crimson eyes would flash from within the bushes and undergrowth.
However, when Coalomass cheerfully approached to greet them, the Raticate hiding inside had already scurried away.
With Jinghe's current team, most wild Pokemon were nothing to worry about.
The only potential concern was poachers and Pokemon hunters.
Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way, except for Gramps now holding a few mysterious fangs he had dug up from somewhere.
"Here?"
As Jinghe stood still, a towering cliff with rugged rocks above came into view.
Buzz, buzz—
The Rainbow Feather's flickering light became more noticeable, and its frequency increased.
Suddenly, Yasha froze.
"Did you guys hear that?" she whispered.
Was it a ghost?
"Did you hear it too?" Du Juan stuck out her tongue, thinking she might have imagined it.
"I think I heard something too," Da Wu said with a smile.
Hmm?
No.
What did you guys hear?
"It's said that whenever a millennium comet appears or there's a massive meteor shower, a Kira Kyi might awaken," Da Wu explained.
As a stone enthusiast, he had studied this phenomenon.
He continued, "Records show that Kira Kyi can be awakened by pure-hearted individuals or their songs."
"So, Da Wu, are you saying there might be a sleeping Kira Kyi buried here?" Du Juan asked.
"It's possible!" Da Wu nodded.
"Then let's open it and see!" Yasha exclaimed eagerly.
"But what if there isn't one? Wouldn't that damage the mountain?" Du Juan frowned.
"Hengga~!"
Gramps poked his head out from the rock wall and called out to Jinghe.
It's empty inside!
Jinghe: "."
So, was this really where Kira Kyi was sleeping? And he didn't hear its call?
As the holder of the Rainbow Feather, didn't he care about his reputation?
Jinghe closed his eyes.
Wave Guide, focus within!
Buzz—
The Wave Guide power expanded, and the surroundings gradually appeared in his mind's eye.
Hmm?
Suddenly, Jinghe opened his eyes.
He looked up at the cliff above.
And there, in the dim moonlight, stood a Pokemon with white fur, a single blue curved horn on its head, crimson eyes, and a slender body—Abyssothorn!
The calamity Pokemon, Abyssothorn!
It was said that whenever Abyssothorn appeared before people, earthquakes or tsunamis would follow, leading the elders to call it a disaster beast and fear it.
However, in reality, Abyssothorn was a Pokemon with a gentle temperament. Its appearance "brought" calamities only because it had the ability to predict disasters and appeared to warn humans.
Initially, ignorant humans linked it to disasters, believing it caused them.
But one thing was certain: Abyssothorn's appearance often came with trouble.
This made Jinghe's heart sink slightly.
In the movie, Abyssothorn had appeared alongside Kira Kyi.
And in that storyline, someone had used Kira Kyi's power to create a fake version of a Pokemon that was always criticized for not being able to fly, unintentionally causing significant destruction.
But this wasn't Fanas.
Bang!!
Just as Jinghe's attention was drawn to Abyssothorn, a loud roar accompanied the shattering of rocks, and a pitch-black cave came into view.
It turned out that Da Wu's Bidoof had punched through the rock wall.
You're quite fast, Da Wu.
When Jinghe looked up at the cliff again, Abyssothorn was nowhere to be seen.
However, Jinghe's worried heart eased slightly.
Regardless, Da Wu was here.
Having such a student by his side made him feel at ease.
Unbeknownst to Da Wu and the others, they felt the same way about having their teacher around.
"Found it!"
Da Wu's voice echoed.
He emerged from the cave, holding something that resembled both a stone and a crystal.
Jinghe took the crystal from Da Wu.
Feeling the cold sensation in his hand, Jinghe's first thought was,
It must be fake! How could I, as the Rainbow Feather's certified pure-hearted individual, not hear Kira Kyi's call?
But then he reconsidered.
Perhaps Kira Kyi hadn't sensed his Wave Guide power yet.
So, Jinghe prepared to summon the "omnipotent" Wave Guide power again.
But before he could make a move, he heard—
Boom!!
Flames suddenly erupted, and Coalomass stood beside him with a serious expression.
Then, a solemn voice commanded,
"Iron Claw Crab, Water Shatter!"
