Chapter 53: Encountering Flame Mask Again
Purrloin's reaction immediately put Bai Feng on alert. Soon, he sensed a hint of abnormality. After awakening his Psychic abilities, he had become much more sensitive to Type Energy. At this moment, he could already detect a faint trace of Ghost-type Pokémon aura in the Air.
"Hehehe~"
A series of giggles suddenly came from the darkness. Bai Feng then saw the surrounding houses, Walls, and Flora begin to distort. By the time he reacted again, he found himself in the Wilderness.
The surroundings were a desolate area, overgrown everywhere with deep Weeds, but in the center of the Grass stood a dilapidated Hut.
The Hut's exterior was tattered and gave off a creepy, terrifying aura, as if it had been uninhabited for many years. Yet, strangely, inside there was a candle flame gently flickering, which was indeed quite intimidating.
"Hehehe..."
"Jiejiejie..."
"Gagaga..."
The eerie laughter came again, seemingly from the Hut ahead.
"Meow meow meow..." Wow, how terrifying!
Purrloin cried out in fright. It trembled and clung to Bai Feng's shoulder, its two small front paws gripping Bai Feng's Hair, making Bai Feng's scalp tingle.
Helioptile also looked terrified. It hugged Bai Feng's calf, trembling, its small head pressed tightly against Bai Feng's thigh, its eyes not daring to look forward at all.
On the other hand, Primarina, this hot-tempered little pepper, wasn't afraid of anything. It stood in front of Bai Feng, squawking towards the Wooden Cabin ahead, trying to threaten the culprit behind the mischief to show themselves.
Bai Ye also had a vigilant expression and was ready for battle at any moment. Larvitar, however, was the calmest one. With a poker face, it held one small hand behind its back, while the other tugged on Bai Ye's skirt hem. It even craned its neck to peer into the darkness, seemingly very curious about the attacker hidden within.
However, the surrounding environment was too dim, and Larvitar couldn't see anything.
Bai Feng, meanwhile, observed the surrounding Situation with a serious expression. He knew that the scene before him could not possibly be real. If the opponent truly had the ability to bring him to the Wilderness without anyone noticing, why would they hide? A direct attack would likely be enough to take him down.
Therefore, the most likely explanation for the current Situation was an Illusion created by Ghost-type Pokémon, because the aura of Ghost-type Pokémon in the Air was continuously growing stronger.
"Hehehe..."
"Jiejiejie..."
"Gagaga..."
The strange laughter continued, as if trying to intimidate Bai Feng and his companions. Purrloin and Helioptile were indeed quite frightened, but Bai Feng, Bai Ye, and Primarina remained calm.
"Primarina, Charm Voice!"
"Sirai!" Okay!
Primarina had long been ready, just waiting for Bai Feng's command.
"La la la... la la... la..."
As Primarina's Singing Voice rang out, the surrounding Air and the moisture in the Air began to vibrate simultaneously. The surrounding environment also started to distort again, and the wild Grass, the Wilderness, and the Hut successively disappeared.
The Illusion was broken!
"Hiss?"
"Woo?"
"Mo?"
As the surrounding environment returned to normal, several panicked cries reached Bai Feng's ears.
As expected, it was Ghost-type Pokémon! Bai Feng thought to himself.
Once the surrounding environment had completely returned to normal, a Will-O-Wisp, a Shadow Ball, and a Dazzling Gleam appeared simultaneously, all striking towards Bai Feng.
How could Primarina tolerate Bai Feng being harmed right before its eyes? From its mouth, it spat out three Water Guns with "poof poof poof" sounds, scattering the incoming Will-O-Wisp, Shadow Ball, and Dazzling Gleam in the blink of an eye.
Just then, a gasp suddenly came from an unknown direction. Bai Feng's heart skipped a beat: So there was someone else here.
Originally, Bai Feng thought he had been attacked by wild Ghost-type Pokémon, but he didn't expect there was someone controlling them from behind the scenes.
Just as Bai Feng was thinking about how to expose the enemy hidden in the shadows, a loud laugh suddenly came from Above his head.
"Haha... Flame Mask makes his entrance!"
Bai Feng looked up and saw a person and a Pokémon standing on the rooftop directly in front of him. Illuminated by the bright moonlight, the person's cape billowed in the Wind behind them, and a chuunibyou aura immediately assailed him.
More importantly, he struck a shameful pose together with his Pokémon.
It's him! Flame Mask!
Bai Feng didn't expect to meet Flame Mask again.
"Heishoo!" Flame Mask did a backflip and leaped down from the rooftop with Blaziken. "Nameless ones active in the darkness, wherever there is injustice, there I shall be!"
Flame Mask struck another shameful pose and added shameful lines. The Blaziken beside him mirrored his actions exactly. Indeed, a Pokémon is like its Owner.
"Huh? Little Young Man, why is it you!"
Only after striking the pose did Flame Mask notice Bai Feng's presence.
"Flame Mask?!"
At the same time, the enemy hidden in the darkness also let out a gasp. Clearly, they were not unfamiliar with this "Hero" active in the night of Mi A Lei City. Their voice even unconsciously carried a hint of fear.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
The three attacks, Will-O-Wisp, Shadow Ball, and Dazzling Gleam, appeared again, but this time their target became Flame Mask.
"Sa~"
Blaziken's movements were clean and sharp. With a swing of Flame Punch, the Will-O-Wisp was scattered; with a kick of Fire Kick, the Shadow Ball was defeated; finally, it opened its mouth and unleashed another Flamethrower, and the Dazzling Gleam was submerged in the Flame.
The enemy in the shadows had clearly underestimated Flame Mask's Strength. After seeing Blaziken make its move, they were instantly startled and involuntarily let out a gasp, seemingly planning to escape.
"Blaziken, drag that little thief hiding in the shadows out for me!"
"Sa~"
Following Flame Mask's command, Blaziken leaped, disappearing from its spot in the blink of an eye. When it reappeared, it held a black-clothed person wearing a Ghost Mask.
"Ouch~"
Blaziken threw the Ghost Mask Person onto the Ground. The Ghost Mask Person landed hard on their backside, unable to help but let out a painful wail.
Bai Feng couldn't get a hand in from start to finish. The enemy was subdued so easily. This Flame Mask is indeed a formidable character.
Blaziken rummaged around on the Ghost Mask Person for a while and quickly pulled out three Poké Balls.
"Sa~"
Hearing Blaziken let out an angry roar towards the darkness, three Ghost-type Pokémon trembled and walked out. Bai Feng finally saw clearly what Pokémon had attacked him.
A Gastly, a Misdreavus, and a Litwick.
The three Pokémon had watery eyes and looked at Blaziken with fear. Clearly, they were quite frightened by the aura emanating from Blaziken.
Bai Feng was a little surprised. Ghost-type Pokémon should be considered relatively rare, right? This Ghost Mask Person actually had three of them. This guy didn't look like a formidable character either.
"Speak, why did you attack this little Young Man?" Flame Mask questioned the Ghost Mask Person.
The Ghost Mask Person curled up on the Ground, whimpering and refusing to answer.
Flame Mask let out a strange laugh and said, "Refusing to speak? Blaziken, let him have a taste of your power!"
"Sa~"
Blaziken nodded and skillfully used Flame to light the Ghost Mask Person's backside. The Ghost Mask Person immediately let out screams of agony, and soon the rich aroma of roasted meat drifted through the Air.
Bai Feng's face darkened with black lines. This Flame Mask of yours is a bit improper! What decent person would burn someone's backside?
Soon, the Ghost Mask Person couldn't hold on any longer and confessed the reason for his attack on Bai Feng while wailing.
