Chapter 688 Are you human?
First sweep.
In the fan-shaped area on the left, six Pokémon were swept away simultaneously.
They tumbled and collided in the air like leaves swept up by a giant wave, then crashed into the pile of Pokémon behind them, knocking down seven or eight more.
Second sweep.
The same scene appears in the right-hand fan-shaped area.
Seven or eight Pokémon took to the air, their screams echoing around them.
Third sweep, fourth sweep, fifth sweep—
Garchomp is like a tireless war machine, rampaging through the enemy ranks!
With each swipe of her fin, a Pokémon would fly up; with each turn, a wail would sound.
Those ferocious Pokémon are like babies in front of adults in front of it, completely powerless.
Gallade and Striker did not stop either.
Gallade's figure flashed across the battlefield, and each time it appeared, a Pokémon attempting to ambush it was swatted away with a single sword strike.
His movements were graceful and elegant, without even a speck of dust on him.
The Greatsword Demon is even more direct.
He stood in the most densely packed part of the battlefield, constantly wielding his twin swords, cutting down all the enemies around him.
A poisonous skeletal frog that tried to get close was cleaved in the forehead by a sword and embedded directly into the rock wall; two dust mountains pounced at the same time, but he swatted them away one by one with his sword, like swatting flies.
One minute.
From Cynthia releasing Garchomp to the last Poacher Pokémon that could stand still falling down.
Exactly one minute.
The cave was filled with Pokémon lying haphazardly, their cries of pain and groans echoing throughout.
Gallade, Scyther, and Garchomp stood in a triangular formation in the center of the battlefield, without a single scratch on their bodies.
Garchomp even yawned.
The Greatsword Demon picked his teeth with his sword.
Gallade stood quietly, its twin blades already sheathed.
The poacher leader's expression changed completely.
His legs were shaking, his hands were shaking, even his chin was shaking.
"Damn it! Damn it!" the leader roared, his voice trembling noticeably. "Quickly! Bring out all your remaining Pokémon! Bring them all out! You must stop them!"
The dozen or so subordinates seemed to snap out of a daze and hurriedly pulled out their Poké Balls.
Flashes of white light, like festive fireworks.
Houndoom, Mightyena, Tank Skunk, Toxicroak, Dust Mt., Bandana Stooge, and even a few Scabbards.
More than forty Pokémon densely packed into half of the cave space!
"superior!"
The poachers' Pokémon charged forward again in a massive swarm.
Meanwhile, a psychic clay idol silently appeared beside the poacher leader.
"Teleport! Take me to the Holy Diamond!"
The leader grabbed the psychic clay figure's hand, his eyes fixed on the huge pink diamond in the distance.
"Then teleport me and the Holy Diamond together! Quickly!"
The eyes of the psychic clay puppet glowed blue.
The next second, he and the leader disappeared from the spot.
When it reappeared, it was already next to that sacred diamond.
The leader burst into wild laughter: "Hahahaha—I'm rich—! I'm going to be rich—!"
His laughter stopped abruptly.
Diancie had just unleashed the power of the moon, sending a Houndoom that was attempting to ambush her flying.
She turned her head and saw the poachers who had suddenly appeared next to the Sacred Diamond; her eyes widened abruptly.
Meanwhile, the psychic power of the clay idol has begun to envelop the sacred diamond.
"No—!!!" Diancie's scream echoed through the cave.
A figure crashed into them from the side.
It's not Pokémon.
are people.
Li Shuwen!
His appearance came without any warning, as if he had been standing there from the very beginning.
With just one step, he moved from ten meters away to the psychic clay idol.
He lifted his right leg, the movement as casual as kicking away a small pebble in the way while strolling in the park.
boom!
The instep landed on the torso of the psychic clay figure.
The Psychic-type Pokémon's eyes suddenly bulged out, and its entire body disappeared instantly as if hit by a cannonball—not teleportation, but being kicked away!
He crashed through one stalagmite, then the second, and finally got stuck in the center of the third, where he didn't slide down for a long time.
The leader's smile froze on his face.
Before he could even turn his head, the figure had already turned around—just a slight spin, like a dancer completing a simple rotation on stage.
But what that rotation creates is an air blast.
A visible white shockwave exploded as Li Shuwen spun around, slamming hard into the leader's chest!
Bang!
A dull thud.
The leader's eyes rolled back instantly, and he was thrown backward like a rag doll caught in a hurricane, his feet leaving the ground.
He flew seven or eight meters through the air, crashing into two crystal clusters along the way, and then with a loud thud.
It clung limply to the rock face.
It looks like a flattened sticker.
Then it slowly slid down.
It lay motionless in the pile of rubble.
A brief silence fell over the cave.
Diancie stared blankly at the scene before her, her mouth agape.
He glanced at the psychic clay figure embedded in the stalagmite, then at the poacher leader affixed to the rock face, and finally at the man who was lightly patting his trouser leg as if he had merely kicked away a small animal blocking his way.
"You..." Diancie's voice trembled, "Are you human?"
Li Shuwen raised her head and looked at him.
His eyes were as calm as a deep pool, without any excitement or pride from having just accomplished a great feat.
"Hmm." Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Human, pure human."
Then he reached out his hand to Tianxi.
"The Holy Diamond is alright. Are you hurt?"
Tianxi stared blankly at the hand, not moving for a long time.
In the distance, Cynthia approached with Garchomp, her gaze falling on the poacher leader clinging to the rock wall, and her lips twitched slightly.
"...Did you kick it?"
Li Shuwen glanced back and nodded.
"That was a bit too gentle," he said. "She should still be able to wake up."
Cynthia was silent for two seconds. Could a normal human withstand a kick from Li Shuwen? Even just the shockwave?
"That kick of yours," she said, "could send my Garchomp flying."
Li Shuwen thought about it carefully and shook his head:
"No. Your Garchomp has more backbone than him."
Upon hearing this, Garchomp proudly raised its head.
As Tianxi watched this scene, she suddenly felt... perhaps, these humans really are not so different.
The ground suddenly began to tremble.
At first, it was just a slight tremor, like a large truck driving by in the distance.
But the tremors soon turned into rhythmic pulsations.
Thump, thump, thump, like the heartbeat of some enormous creature.
"No, that's not right." Cynthia's voice suddenly tightened.
The Garchomp suddenly turned around, its fins flashing a wary blue light.
She stared at the ground beneath her feet, a low, threatening growl escaping her throat.
Gallade unleashes its twin elbow blades.
The Greatsword Demon drew his twin swords.
Li Shuwen squatted down and placed his palms on the ground.
The power of waveguides penetrates deep into the earth.
He saw a crack appear in the originally stable energy flow of the earth's veins.
Like a crack in a dam, it may seem insignificant at first, but the immense energy of the earth's veins is frantically impacting, tearing, and expanding it.
The source of the crack is the energy channel beneath the Sacred Diamond that connects to the earth's veins.
The passageway shifted the moment the Sacred Diamond was touched by an external force.
