Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 173 Escape From Heaven (15)

In panic, Lai burst out at an unprecedented speed and ran all the way to get there.

Seeing the seriously injured Lizard King, Natural Bird and Naqi in a coma, huge self-blame surged into my heart.

But the explosion was imminent, and there was no time to worry.Rai took out two ownerless elf balls, put the Lizard King and the Natural Bird in them, shrunk them and hung them around his waist. This temporarily ensured that the injuries would not worsen, and finally found a way to send them out of here.

The power of his heart was fully activated, and within a few seconds, Lai was sure that fortunately among the misfortunes, all Naqi had suffered was shock and trauma.

It's too late to return from the front, not just the distance and the weight.

Not far away, unexplained beings appeared in several laboratories. The smoke was so thick that it would be impossible to carry a person through.

"Yes, control room!"

With a flash of inspiration, Lai suddenly thought of the secret passage in the control room. Although it was too late to escape from it, he might be able to use its protection to protect himself from the explosion.

Decisiveness is even more important in times of crisis. Thinking of this, Rai immediately released the Swamp Monster and asked it to hold Naqi firmly. Eden, who was also knocked out and fainted to the ground in the distance, was also thrown onto the back of the Swamp Monster. , followed closely, one person and one Pokémon ran wildly towards the way they came.

Along the way, there were constant explosions, big and small, and the so-called 10-minute countdown was not reliable at all. Even with the blessing and guidance of the power of the heart, the flying alloy fragments also added small scars on Lai's face and body, but at the moment of life and death, Lai didn't care about all this, and together with the Swampert, he focused on protecting Naqi who was in a coma.

······
With one minute left before the explosion, Rai and Swampert could already see the control room at the end of the corridor.

But what stood in front of him was a wall of fire.

The core laboratory's circuitry was damaged in the explosion, causing a fire.

Swampert was about to use the water cannon, but Rai held him down:

"No, there is electricity and the water spray will blow up even more. You have to rush over forcefully."

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth, took off his shirt, took out the clothes in his backpack, and wrapped them around Naqi's body.

"Let's go, it's nothing!"

The power of the heart surged, covering himself and the giant swamp monster, especially Naqi.

"I haven't tried it either, but I have to give it a try! Go ahead!"

Before he even got a step closer, a strong burning sensation hit him.

it works!

Wrapped by the power of the heart, although it is hot, it is not unbearable.

In the flash of lightning, Lai clenched his fists and continued to move forward.

Emerging from the wall of fire, Lai and Swampert had very little heart power left to protect themselves, and only Naqi still had some surplus.

His black hair was completely scorched, and his exposed skin, especially his shirtless upper body, also suffered burns of varying degrees, but thanks to the strength of his heart and his extraordinary physique, no serious burns occurred. .

Trying to lift off the clothes covering Naqi, Lai breathed a sigh of relief, the protective measures were in place, except for the slightly curly hair, everything else was intact.

Under the high temperature, Naqi also regained consciousness, let out a long breath, woke up, and saw Lai with anxious eyes for the first time.

Just as she was about to ask a question, the giant swamp monster suddenly jumped out and blocked the words in her mouth.

High explosives all over the ground of the entire base suddenly detonated, from the outside to the inside, and within ten seconds, they had reached the other side of the corridor.

Breaking through the door of the control room, letting the giant swamp monster quickly block the thick alloy door, Rai picked up the still weak Naqi and dodged into the secret passage, releasing the other three Pokémon and all five of Naqi's Pokémon. Dream.

"Use all your strength to guard! Just block the door! Whoever's guard is broken, go 20 meters away and continue to use it, take turns!"

Less than three seconds after the giant marsh monster came in, a violent explosion blew apart the alloy door outside, and the air wave pushed open the secret door of the secret passage, followed by a raging fire wave.

A total of eight green light curtains stretched behind the door.After taking a moment to catch their breath, Swampert joins them.

Turning his back, he held Naqi on his chest. The keystone necklace blessed by the essence of water glowed slightly, forming a light curtain to protect the two of them.

"It'll be fine."

Looking at the person in his arms, Lai hugged her tightly, shielding her from the outside.Running towards the back.

The violent explosions continued, and no one knew how many explosives the Myth Hunters organization had prepared for this self-destruction. Nine of them could not hold on for long, and they shattered one by one in about ten seconds.

Dodged to 20 meters away, Niannianbao used wide-area guard again, followed by Malilu and Big-mouthed Gull. Under the continuous defense of guard, wide-area guard and light wall, they retreated dozens of meters away. The first wave of fire was barely withstood.

Looking at his exhausted friends, Rai took out the elf balls, temporarily took them back, and continued running while holding Naqi in his arms.

The injuries and fatigue were superimposed. At this moment, Lai was out of breath and sweating like rain.

"You put me down, I can go."

In her arms, Naqi struggled to walk on her own, but her mind was dizzy and her limbs were weak. It was very difficult for her to even stand at this time, so how could she talk about escaping?
"Do not talk."

Exhaustion made Lai cherish words like gold. After squeezing out three words through his teeth, he said nothing and buried his head forward.

The secret passage of several hundred meters has already been run out of halfway.

The second round of explosions struck again.

Fortunately, as the distance increased and the scale of the explosion weakened, the Fire Snake was no longer strong enough to cross this distance, leaving only heat waves and airflow.

A huge shock wave swept over, and several Pokémon flashed out of the Poké Ball, blocking the heat wave and impact with their bodies.

First came the two largest and most powerful large-billed gulls and the tiny Marilu. As soon as they flashed out, they fired water cannons forward.

The water flow collided with the heat wave and the fire snake, and evaporated instantly, and smoke rose throughout the tunnel.

Then came the giant swamp monster. The turbid current mixed with earth and water energy swept out and collided head-on with the shock wave. Although it collapsed in a moment, it also weakened the strength of the one who came.

The Tanabata Bluebird, King Swallow, Armored Bird and Tropical Dragon built the last barrier with their curled-up bodies behind the guarding light curtain, firmly protecting Lai and Naqi.

Niannibao appeared in Lai's arms, and the little guy, who was already very tired from the battle and treatment, also gave his last effort. The water of life dropped on the ground, splashing onto every nearby partner, and also nourished Lai. and Naqi’s depleted body.

······
The explosion subsided.

The dizzy Len slowly stood up.

In her arms, Naqi, who was well protected, hugged herself tightly.

Behind him were his fellow Pokémon, who looked disgraced, but other than being embarrassed, they were not seriously injured.

The only one who was seriously injured was Eden, who was ignored by Len at the last moment.Although she was taken out of the base by Lai, whether it was a fire or an explosion, Lai didn't have much spare time to take care of her. Not only that she was only breathing her last breath, but she could also be said to be in a tragic condition.

Looking back, I saw the Great-billed Gull and Mali Lu on the outermost side, about 30 meters in front of them. Even the soil was burnt black.

Sitting on the ground, Lai looked at Naqi in his arms.He took out a tissue from his pocket and gently wiped away the remaining blood on her forehead. Lai's words were full of self-blame for his previous decision: "What a narrow escape. I'm sorry for letting you and everyone face such a huge danger." Stay with you."

Naqi stretched out her hand with great effort, covered Lai's mouth, and blocked what he said behind him: "Even if you don't tell me, I will go to save these Pokémon, but I was not careful enough, and I was plotted against."

Hugging Naqi tightly, Lai's heart was filled with joy.

Caressing Lai's shirtless upper body, recalling the image of him holding her and running all the way, Naqi spoke softly: "Thank you for your hard work, Lai."
