Chapter 813 The Fire Monkey's Will of Fire
After a night's rest, the Iron Fist Invincible Expedition Team set off early the next morning.
Li Shuwen walked at the front, with Green Vine Snake guarding the left flank, Ice Six-Tail bringing up the rear, and Rainbow Ponyta and Little Flame Monkey walking in the middle.
Li Shuwen closed his eyes, and the power of waveguide slowly released.
Butubub's body is still somewhat strained to use waveguides, and the range is not large, but it is enough to sense the situation within tens of meters around.
They navigated through the maze, dodging wave after wave of patrolling Ice-type Pokémon.
Sometimes it's two Ice Golems, sometimes three or four Weavile, and sometimes a whole swarm of Ice Pangolins.
Li Shuwen's waveguide power always allows him to detect them in advance and lead the team around them through safe passages.
The passage on the fourth level was wider, and strange purple patterns began to appear on the ice walls.
Li Shuwen stopped and raised his right paw. "Watch out, what we're looking for might be just ahead."
He sensed it; there was a massive energy fluctuation ahead, still malevolent, cold, and twisted.
He cautiously peeked out and saw a machine that was more than two meters tall.
It emitted a blinding red light, and the surface of the machine was covered with strange purple patterns that pulsated like blood vessels.
The squid king stands in front of the machine, its tentacles operating the control panel.
Li Shuwen also sensed the powerful aura emanating from the six Ice Pokémon.
Their energy fluctuations were several times stronger than any they had encountered before.
Ice Sprite, with purplish-black fur and scarlet eyes; Snow Fairy, with a bluish-purple figure, floating in mid-air; Double Ice, with a reddish-black shell and a chilling aura; Snow Moth, with black wings edged in purple light.
Each one exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, and Li Shuwen was certain that his expedition team couldn't defeat them.
He could give it a try, but he doesn't have any teammates. He should wait until he evolves a bit more before trying again.
He turned around and waved for everyone to retreat.
The group moved cautiously backward, everyone moving very lightly and slowly, without making a sound.
But a small machine in the Squid King's hand suddenly started emitting a piercing buzzing sound.
The Squid King lowered its head, looked at the machine, and chuckled. "Aha, some little mouse actually managed to find the location where I conduct my experiments."
It raised its head, its crimson eyes scanning the passageway. "You few, go and kill them. Make sure they don't get the message out."
Li Shuwen decisively ordered, "Little Chimchar, you take Vulpix and Rainbow Ponyta and retreat first. I'll cover the rear with Snivy."
The little fire monkey hesitated. "Boss..."
"Go quickly!" Li Shuwen's voice left no room for argument.
Chimchar gritted its teeth and ran back the way it came with Vulpix and Rainbow Ponyta.
Four enhanced Ice Pokémon rushed out from around the corner.
The Ice Sprite's freezing ray swept across, while the Snow Fairy's blizzard howled.
The double-frozen beam of ice shot straight at the snow moth, raining down ice fragments.
Li Shuwen's body exploded with golden lightning, a double strike of lightning!
With both fists thrown out simultaneously, two golden bolts of lightning met the Ice Sprite and Snow Fairy, repelling them.
The Green Vine Serpent's Leaf Storm transformed into a green tornado, sweeping towards Double Ice and Snow Moth.
The blizzard of double ice hit head-on, freezing the leaves and interrupting the leaf storm.
Li Shuwen rushed forward, his right fist condensing white true energy, and punched Shuangbei Duoduo Bing.
The True Qi Fist sent it flying, crashing into the ice wall, which blasted open a large crater.
The double-frozen ice was embedded in the ice, but it quickly broke free, its cracks emitting a chilling aura as they rapidly healed.
With a flap of its wings, the snow moth unleashed a blizzard that sent Li Shuwen and the Green Vine Snake flying, crashing heavily against the ice wall.
Li Shuwen helped the green vine snake to its feet. "Fighting and running at the same time."
They fought and retreated through the tunnel, the freezing rays chasing them erratically, always missing by a hair's breadth.
Li Shuwen had several frostbite marks on his body, the vine whip of the Green Vine Snake had frozen hard and cracked when it was swung, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.
But he did not give up.
"Boss! I'm back to support you!" Chimchar's voice came from the front of the passage.
He had returned without anyone noticing.
Double the amount of ice condensed into an ice-blue energy ball.
Absolute zero!
The energy ball transformed into a beam of light and shot rapidly toward the little fire monkey.
Wherever the beam of light passed, even the air was frozen into ice crystals.
Li Shuwen's body exploded with golden lightning as he rushed towards the little fire monkey with all his might, unleashing a golden lightning bolt that collided with Absolute Zero.
The collision between ice and electricity lasted less than a second before absolute zero engulfed the lightning bolt.
Li Shuwen was hit by absolute zero. Starting from his claws, ice crystals spread and he was frozen into an ice sculpture in the blink of an eye.
The little fire monkey's eyes turned red.
The flames on his tail exploded, turning from crimson to incandescent, so hot that the ice beneath his feet was melting.
He roared to the sky, and the Flame Wheel transformed into a platinum-gold meteor, rushing towards the four Ice Pokémon.
The speed was so fast that the ice sprite didn't have time to react. It was knocked away and crashed into the ice wall, scattering black ice crystal fragments everywhere.
The snow fairy's blizzard blew on him, and the snowflakes evaporated before they even got close.
His fiery wheel passed through the blizzard and struck the Snow Fairy, who screamed and was thrown deep into the ice wall.
The blizzard of Double Ice rushed towards them, and the fire wheel crashed directly into the center of the storm, tearing it apart. It then struck Double Ice, causing its red and black outer shell to explode and become riddled with cracks.
With a flap of its wings, the snow moth sent countless ice shards hurtling towards the little fire monkey.
He spun around, and the fire wheel transformed into a rotating wall of fire, deflecting all the ice shards before accelerating and crashing into the snow moth.
All four Pokémon fell down.
The flames on the little fire monkey gradually subsided, and it landed on the ground, panting heavily.
He ran to the ice sculpture, pressed his claws onto the ice, and flames erupted from his palms, rapidly melting the ice. Li Shuwen slid out of the ice, his eyes closed, his body ice-cold.
The green vine snake struggled to its feet, dragging its injured body over. "Is...is he still alive?"
The little fire monkey pressed its ear against Li Shuwen's chest. "Boss is still alive! He still has a heartbeat! He still has a heartbeat!"
A huge shadow fell over them.
The Squid King hovered in mid-air, its scarlet eyes looking down at them. "A mere Chimchar can defeat my four elite guards? Interesting, very interesting."
"You have great research value, so let me help you become the strongest Infernape."
Dr. Squid Wheel waved his tentacle, and a burst of dark energy sent the little fire monkey flying.
The little fire monkey crashed onto the ice wall, slid down, and couldn't get up again.
"If you have the guts, then kill me."
Dr. Squid Wheel's tentacles spun, and the little fire monkey took flight.
Dr. Squid Wheel looked at Li Shuwen, "Then how about I kill this groundhog first?"
The little fire monkey clenched its fists. "I'll go with you, but you have to let the boss and the others go."
Dr. Squid Wheel chuckled enigmatically, "Hehehe, what a captivating emotion."
Then, it used its tentacles to pick up the little fire monkey and flew deeper into the maze.
The green vine snake struggled to stand up, but its legs gave way and it fell to the ground again.
She looked in the direction where the squid king had disappeared, and tears streamed down her face.
Li Shuwen was unconscious for an unknown period of time.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying in a tent, covered with a thick blanket, and my frostbitten paws were carefully bandaged.
The Green Vine Snake sat beside him, its body also wrapped in bandages, its face pale.
"Snake, where's Chimchar? Who saved us?"
Snivy lowered its head, its voice bitter. "Chimchar was captured by Professor Squidward. After you were frozen into an ice block, Chimchar unleashed its power, defeating those four enhanced Ice Pokémon with unprecedentedly strong flames."
"But the Squid King personally took action, defeated Chimchar, and captured him. Later, a group of Pokémon came to our aid and rescued us from unconsciousness."
Li Shuwen closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
The Green Vine Snake asked, "Captain, what do we do?"
Li Shuwen opened his eyes and sat up.
"Go save him. Dr. Squid Wheel has found something interesting on the little Chimchar; he won't hurt him easily."
"We still have time."
Li Shuwen stood up and stretched his still somewhat stiff body.
"We need a plan!"
