Chapter 543: Mashado in the Shadow, the Trial of the Rainbow!
The guide from the shadows, the mythical Pokémon, Machado.
It is said that it will guide pure-hearted trainers who possess the "Rainbow Feathers" to meet the Ho-Oh and become the "Rainbow Hero".
At the same time, it will magnify the inner weaknesses of the trainers and test whether they are truly qualified to become the "Rainbow Brave".
This process is called the "Trial of the Rainbow" by the elderly who have heard the legend of the Phoenix King.
From ancient times to the present, there have been only a few trainers who have become the "Rainbow Hero".
Once the Rainbow Feather loses its original luster, Machado will emerge from the shadows to correct and restore order.
But its means of correction...are inevitably a bit direct.
now.
Machado's shadow stretched from his feet and was projected onto the wall of Teacher Lu's house.
There were bright flames dancing in its eyes, but its entire body was as black as ink, like a burning candle or the heroic spirit of a soldier dedicated to his duty.
"Masha..." Mashado looked around alertly and his eyes fell on Gengar who had a confused look on his face.
"Masha!" Mashado frowned.
I clearly sensed the dim aura of [Rainbow Feather], but why...
There was no trace of malice in the Rainbow Feather, and it seemed to be enjoying the current situation? "Masha!" Mashado's eyes were burning, and the flames in his pupils suddenly rose.
If that power is used by evil people...it will definitely cause disaster!
I must find that [Rainbow Feather].
The trainer who made the "Rainbow Wings" dim...is not qualified to be the "Rainbow Hero" at all!
"Koujie~" Gengar scratched his head in confusion, then grinned.
I don't understand what's going on, but this guy looks like he can swim really well!
"Kou Jie!" Gengar stretched out his little hand into the shadows, took out a can of Coke, and handed it to Machado carelessly.
"Masha?" This time it was Mashado's turn to be stunned.
This guy...what on earth is he hiding in the shadows?
Machado opened his eyes blankly.
It saw Gengar take out a refrigerator from the shadows, and with a light tap of its fingertips, it fired a "charging beam" at the refrigerator.
"Koujie~" Gengar took out a can of iced cola from the shiny refrigerator, took a sip with relish, and let out a long sigh.
Machado: (°ー°〃) Gengar: ( ̄▽ ̄)~* “Machado…”
Damn it, I'm actually a little envious! Machado shook his head, his eyes stern.
The most urgent task is to find the trainer who holds the [Pale Rainbow Feather]! It traveled all the way from Kanto, along the "World of Shadows" all the way to Sinnoh, just to get the [Rainbow Feather].
That trainer has lost the qualification to participate in the Rainbow Trial... I must restore order to its normal state!
"Masha..." Mashado's eyes were dancing with flames as he slowly moved forward along the shadow. Suddenly, his feet slipped.
"Koujie! w(Д)w" Geng Gui was horrified.
You idiot, you stepped on the can of Coke I put there!
Hey...it turns out this is the flavor the owner likes to drink.
Geng Gui patted his chest and grinned: "Kou Jie~"
That doesn’t matter~ “Masha…” Mashado’s stern expression seemed to be slightly broken.
It closed its eyes, and the "other side of the world" appeared before its eyes.
That is the world of shadows.
Except for the slightly duller color, this house in the 'world of shadows' is no different from a real house.
But... this house in the shadow world was filled with all kinds of home appliances, snacks, and paper notebooks, which made Machado look puzzled.
"Masha..." Mashado picked up a booklet casually, flipped through it, and was stunned for a moment.
Is this a training note?
Carrying it with him all the time, Gengar's trainer is a bit too hardworking...
“Kou jerk!” Gengar puffed up his cheeks angrily.
You guy, stop rummaging through other people’s things!
A small black hole condensed in his hand, and the shadows around him turned into energy and poured into it. Geng Gui raised the "Dark Hole" high in one hand.
"Masha?!" Mashado was stunned.
Aren't you a Gengar?!
Why can he even learn Darkrai's ultimate move? !
Seeing that something was not right, Machado quickly jumped out of the shadows and appeared in Teacher Lu's house.
“Masha…” Mashado wiped his forehead, his expression becoming increasingly grim.
We must bring back the [Pale Rainbow Feather]!
In the hands of this Gengar trainer... who knows what kind of disaster it might cause! Gengar also floated out from the shadows and took back the can of Coke that he had just handed to Machado.
"Kou Jie~(`~)"
Damn shadow thief...I won’t give you the Coke!
Inside the house shrouded in dusk.
Machado and Gengar are facing each other, and the situation is about to break out.
"Masha!" Mashado suddenly felt a chill on his spine, and a sharp wave locked onto him from behind.
The wave came from the water tank.
But I just checked, there is no threat there at all!
Mashado, who originally thought that he could gain a slight advantage by escaping from the 'shadow world', was now sweating profusely.
I was fooled, really fooled! First there was the incredible dark hole, then there was the sudden waveguide...
This ordinary house is actually full of traps! No wonder [Rainbow Feather] refused to acknowledge that trainer... He is too treacherous! "Masha..." Mashado frowned, clenched his fists, and prepared for a desperate fight.
This is its honor as the "Guardian of the Rainbow" and a warrior.
"Kou Jie! ()"
Around Gengar, the fierce-looking Sylveon, the chained Windy Dog, and the indifferent Green Soldier slowly gathered...
The Pokémon of Mr. Lu always fight in groups !
"Awoo! Tuo(`0) Tuo" (Big sister is awesome!)
"Ga! (`)Ψ" (Go!) Machado: (﹏) Group fighting does not make you a hero!
How about leaving the Rainbow Feather there for a while... and then finding a chance to steal it back using Shadow Steal?
Having said that.
How did that trainer get the [Rainbow Feather] in the first place?
The methods taught to Pokémon are a bit too dirty!
…
Outside the gate.
Mr. Lu, who was signing for the express delivery, looked back at the villa that was making the clanging sound.
"Is it really okay?" The delivery boy swallowed his saliva and said, "It feels like your house... is about to collapse..."
"It happens all the time."
Lu Ye said calmly: "I'm used to it."
Courier boy: “…”
A true warrior dares to face the bleak life and the several-page long decoration bill!
After taking another look at the beautiful villa, the guy in the R Rockets uniform left.
Lu Ye was opening a package outside and muttered softly:
"This doesn't look like a safe containing funds..."
After unpacking several layers of tight packaging, only a delicate box that looked like a necklace was left.
"I feel like I'm going to..."
Lu Ye's uneasiness grew stronger, and he opened the "blind box" with trembling hands, and a cool breeze blew towards him.
[Purifying Water Drops: Water energy crystals condensed by Manaphy, with healing and purifying effects. (A gift from the sea.)]
Teacher Lu: “…”
Not money or credit cards.
It was unexpected, yet reasonable...
Lu Ye sighed softly and stared at the diamond-like purifying water droplets.
Interpol is thoughtful... They know that Arcanine is under attack from lava and volcanic gas, so they might need this.
But the key point is, with the fire of life provided by [Rainbow Feather], Arcanine has no use for it at all.
Then, this [Purifying Water Drop] can only be placed in the water tank of the water turtle as a landscape stone.
Luxury is luxury...but now there is really no need to change the water.
It can be called the ‘Happy Turtle Rock’! “Think on the bright side.”
Lu Ye touched his chin and said, "At least I don't have to buy mysterious drops anymore?"
What Mr. Lu is worried about is that Blastoise's demand has been upgraded from [Mysterious Water Drops] to [Purifying Water Drops].
The kind that dares not fall asleep without a circle of [purifying water drops] in the water tank...
"Not really." Lu Ye coughed dryly.
The reward for the Yankushan event was not funding, which made Teacher Lu feel a little regretful.
But it was still a gain.
Lu Ye nodded slightly, and his shirt pocket suddenly felt hot.
The [Rainbow Feather], which had been silent for a long time, glowed slightly, and soon dimmed again.
"Hmm...are you still pretending to be dead?"
Lu Ye took out the rainbow feather and released the "wave power".
The originally dull rainbow feathers seemed to come back to life and began to emit some light again.
"The waveguide actually has a charging effect!"
Teacher Lu was a little surprised, but then he thought that Yalang relied on his life to charge the World Tree.
It is said that the Phoenix King once lived on the branches of the world's original tree... Perhaps this also contains the energy of the origin.
Lu Ye shook the rainbow feathers, walked back into the room, and laughed in silence.
"This way we won't have to take Machado—"
Teacher Lu pushed the door open and walked in.
The confronting little guys all turned their heads.
"It's attracted..."
Lu Ye's sight stayed on the dark little man, and he murmured, "Well..."
"Marshado?! ∑(°Д°ノ)ノ"
Machado looked at the "black-hearted" trainer angrily, his eyes somewhat sad.
If he had come a step later... I would have been beaten to death!
but.
Machado's gaze rested on the rainbow feather in Lu Ye's hand.
It is better to strike first.
Steal the rainbow feather back first, then you might have the strength to fight! "Mashado!" Mashado hid in the shadows, then poked his head out from the shadow under Lu Ye's feet, and reached out his little hand for the rainbow feather in Lu Ye's hand.
At the same time.
[Rainbow Feathers] burst into brilliant light, as if acknowledging Lu Ye's identity, the rainbow light illuminates the entire room!
Teacher Lu and Machado were both stunned.
"Masha..." Mashado was stunned.
What’s going on… Did [Rainbow Feather] recognize his qualifications again?
Lu Ye was also stunned.
So you still have some power left, so you tricked me into giving you the "wave power"!? The shining rainbow light dimmed, and the rainbow feather tried to "shut down", and Lu Ye used the wave power.
[Rainbow Feather] glows again! Lu Ye: “…”
Machado: “…”
Why is your rainbow feather different from the others? Or have you been with this human for so long that you have been assimilated?
Machado closed his eyes and tried to sense the condition of the [Rainbow Feather].
"Masha." After a moment, Mashado opened his eyes again, confused.
She actually recognized him...
Suddenly, it felt a hand on its head, and Machado was a little panicked.
"Ma Xia!"
A gentle energy surged into its body. Mashado's face flushed. He quickly jumped to the side and stared at the young man vigilantly.
It seems that even though Machado came, nothing happened.
Lu Ye smiled and said, "Since you are here, why don't you have a meal before leaving?"
Machado scratched his head.
Strange... He doesn't seem like a bad guy...
But what about those despicable tactics and the dull rainbow feathers just now?
Machado was a little hesitant, and what made it even more puzzled was.
At that moment just now, [Rainbow Feather] actually acknowledged him again...
"Masha!" After a moment, as if he had made a decision, Mashado's eyes regained their firmness and he looked at Teacher Lu.
Lu Ye vaguely heard a voice like a little boy, and telepathy sounded in his ears.
"The Rainbow Trial begins!"
