"The perfect target..."
Lin Che's brain completed an extremely calm analysis in a fraction of a second.
"Caught in a spacetime rift, my mind completely collapsed, and I only knew how to attack on instinct. There were no tactics, no coordination, and not even the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm... This chaotic, collapsing land was simply a highly efficient 'hunting ground' that fell from the sky for me!"
Crisis is an opportunity!
Survival? Escape?
This thought lingered in Lin Che's mind for only a moment before being replaced by an even stronger desire.
He no longer focused on simply avoiding these ferocious elves. Instead, he patted the warrior eagle on the neck and, with a thought, changed direction!
The Valkyrie understood perfectly. With a graceful side roll and glide, it precisely avoided the head-on attack of the Onix swarm and charged towards the swarm of Pokémon emerging from another newly opened crevice!
It was a group of grass-type Pokémon consisting of dozens of Victoire and Vileplume. Corrosive venom dripped from their huge petals, and their vines lashed out at the air like wildly dancing venomous snakes.
"It's now!"
Lin Che's voice was crystal clear in the strong wind.
"Come out, Arcanine!"
With a roar that reverberated through the heavens and earth, a powerful figure burning with orange-red flames appeared out of thin air beside the Warrior Eagle, running alongside it!
The moment the majestic Growlithe appeared, its domineering aura instantly overwhelmed the surrounding chaos. On its body, the fragment of the [Flame Tablet] obtained from Arceus radiated visible, scorching waves containing primal power, in sync with its heartbeat.
This power made its aura incredibly hot and strong, as if it were the embodiment of the law of fire itself!
"Wind Speed Dog!"
Lin Che's instructions were transformed into the clearest tactical intentions through telepathy.
"Let them see what real flames are like!"
"Use [Flame Jet]!"
"Ouch——!"
Arcanine let out an exhilarating howl, then suddenly lowered its head and spewed out an unimaginably thick, orange-red pillar of fire, almost twice the diameter of its body!
This flame is no longer an ordinary flame!
It possesses an extremely pure orange-red hue, with even faint golden patterns of law flowing within. This is the "Purifying Flame" empowered by the primal power of the [Flame Slab]. Wherever the flame passes, even the surrounding distorted and folded chaotic space seems to be temporarily smoothed and straightened by an extremely yang and powerful force!
"call--!"
The pillar of fire did not stop at all, sweeping across the entire field with unstoppable force, creating a huge fan-shaped wall of fire in mid-air that covered an area of more than 100 meters!
The frenzied Eelflower and Queen of the Sea, whose attributes were suppressed by four times, had absolutely no power to resist the terrifying flames containing the power of laws.
They didn't even have time to utter a final, mournful cry before they died.
The first few, upon contact with the wall of fire, were like blocks of ice thrown into a steel furnace. They didn't even have time to maintain their shape before being instantly evaporated in the terrifying heat, leaving not even a trace of ash behind!
The swarm of elves that followed struggled for only a fraction of a second longer before following in their footsteps, completely swallowed, purified, and wiped out by that devastating wave of fire!
one move.
Clear the area!
The whole world seemed to fall silent for a moment.
Before Lin Che's eyes, there was only the experience bar representing the Wind Dog's level, which surged forward rapidly at a speed that was visible to the naked eye and could be described as insane!
This is the hunt amidst chaos!
The blazing torrent of orange-red flames cleared the space dozens of meters ahead with an almost tyrannical force.
The intense heat distorted the air, scorching the rock walls until they glowed a bright red and crackled under the immense pressure.
A barely suppressed smile appeared on Lin Che's lips.
His pupils reflected the majestic figure of Arcanine, and his heart pounded powerfully in his chest, each beat resonating with the violent energy pulses on the battlefield.
This is the kind of battle he wants.
"Arcanine, right flank, [Flash Charge]!"
The command was transmitted instantly through thought.
Arcanine let out a roar that shook the cave, its massive body instantly engulfed in crimson flames, transforming into a burning meteor that crashed headlong into a group of wild Pokémon that had just emerged from the side.
It was a group of hard bones made up of seven or eight rumblebees.
They rolled cumbersomely, trying to harden to withstand the impending impact.
However, in the face of absolute power and attribute advantage, all defenses are as fragile as paper.
"boom--!"
A deafening roar erupted.
The foremost rumble rock didn't even have time to utter a mournful cry. Its hard rock body was melted through by the high temperature the moment it made contact, and then shattered into countless burning fragments.
This perfect charge, with its momentum undiminished, swept through the entire column like a whirlwind.
Flames and rubble exploded, creating a corridor of death.
When Arcanine stopped and proudly flicked its mane, all that remained behind it was a pile of charred remains.
At that very moment, a dazzling white beam of light, brimming with pure energy, shot up from the Growlithe's body, illuminating the entire dark cave as bright as day.
The upgraded light washed away the dust that had accumulated from the battle, making its aura even deeper and more powerful.
[Ding! Your Arcanine level has increased to LV.42!]
The system notification sounded crisply in Lin Che's mind.
well.
Lin Che's gaze passed over Arcanine and fell into the deeper darkness.
The closer one gets to the core of the collapse, the more unstable the space itself becomes.
The air was filled with a pungent, ozone-like smell.
The surrounding walls were no longer just rocks, but began to show spatial fissures that appeared out of nowhere, like cracks in glass.
"His-"
A huge rift was forcibly torn open in mid-air not far from Lin Che.
What poured out was not more cave spirits, but a scalding yellow sand mixed with cactus fragments.
A bewildered Pangolin rolled down the sand, not understanding what was happening, before being slammed against the wall by a giant wave that surged from another crevice.
The fragments of the shattered small secret realm are being forcibly dragged, kneaded, and stuffed into this chaotic spacetime by an irresistible force.
In an instant, the ecosystem inside the cave completely collapsed.
A desert dragonfly that fell out of the desert is now locked in a mid-air battle with a stinging jellyfish that was flung out of the ocean.
A small fragment of a primeval forest floats overhead, and several Ariados perch on drooping branches, gazing in terror at the trembling messenger birds in a corner of the glacial wilderness below.
This place has transformed into a bizarre and fantastical monster, pieced together from countless fragments of the world.
……
at the same time.
Outside the Stardust Caverns, inside the Alliance's makeshift command center.
On the huge monitoring screen, the energy reading inside the grotto had exceeded the limit, and countless red alarm icons were flashing wildly, emitting a piercing buzzing sound.
The live feed in the center of the screen had long since transformed into an apocalyptic turbulence of energy.
All detection signals were completely swallowed up the moment they entered the core area, leaving no trace.
Inside the command center, there was a deathly silence.
All the researchers stared blankly at the screen, their faces drained of color.
"This...what exactly is this?"
An elderly professor with gray hair, highly respected within the alliance, muttered to himself in a dry voice.
His eyes reflected the devastating scene on the screen, filled with shock and bewilderment.
“Based on energy model analysis, this has exceeded all our definitions of ‘space storm’…it’s more like…a forced, destructive ‘secret realm fusion’ that we’ve never seen before!”
The captain's face was ashen, and his knuckles turned white from clenching his fists.
After several attempts to establish communication with the internal network, and even the latest high-intensity drones he deployed lost contact within three seconds, his last glimmer of hope was completely extinguished.
He turned around and faced all his teammates, each word spoken with immense difficulty.
"Order."
"All personnel, immediately implement the highest level of emergency evacuation procedures."
"This place... is about to be completely annihilated!"
Faced with an incomprehensible power, the League's machine chose to preserve its strength.
They chose to retreat.
Lin Che, who was at the very center of the storm, made the exact opposite decision.
He chose to delve deeper.
Deep within his brow, the "Eye of Truth," invisible to ordinary people, was radiating a faint burning sensation.
In his view, this turbulent flow of energy was not without order.
Countless tiny, invisible golden energy threads converged from all directions, ultimately pointing to the same source.
The truth is already obvious.
The root of all this chaos is not a natural disaster.
It was the wishing power unconsciously leaked from a sleeping Mythical Pokémon—Jirachi.
"We've come this far, how can we give up halfway?"
Lin Che's breathing became slightly rapid, not from fear, but from an indescribable excitement.
His eyes gleamed with ambition and decisiveness.
