Chapter 43 Goosebumps (rewrite)

...

"Be careful." Lance couldn't help but remind.

"Hmm."

Without needing to remind him, after entering the power station, he raised all his attention and was more careful than in the forest.

Luckily, there was a map on the wall of the power station to keep the pair from wandering around the complex structure.

After walking around for a while, Lance suddenly stopped and frowned.

"Natsu, it's too quiet to talk about it, but why is there an accident at such an important place like a power station, and the entire Saffron City has no response?"

Natsu couldn't help but wonder. glance at him.

Brother, your reaction is too slow, right?

From the moment they decided to come to the power plant, they should have thought about this aspect.

Seeing Natsu's expression, Lance knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "I'm not saying that the reaction of the Alliance in Saffron City is wrong, I just want to say what method was used to clear everything. News about the power station has been cut off?"

Natsu understood what he meant.

After hesitating for a while, he asked: "As far as you know, there should be a Trainer in the power station, right?"

"Yes."

Power Station In such an important place, there will definitely be Trainers sitting in the city, so don't think about that.

At the same time, Lance added: "Even without a Trainer, there are still so many Electric-Type Pokémon in the power station."

Natsu thought and analyzed slowly, "That's normal. For example, when we get close, there should be a Magnemite that appears earlier, it should be the Pokémon responsible for one of the tasks, but the status."

The two of them recalled Magnemite's strange behavior.

Because Magnemite didn't affect them, the two didn't think about it, but now they look back and think about it.

Suddenly, the two of them looked at each other at the same time, and said their thoughts to each other almost at the same time.

"Hypnosis!"

And this is a large-scale silent hypnosis, which is possible when Pokemon and the staff in the entire power station are completely powerless, isolated from the outside world.

It also created several inner-city wiring problems, leading Alliance staff to believe that the problem was with the citywide wiring, not the root cause of this power station.

Sufficient delay.

"So. What does the other side want from the power station?" thought Natsu nervously.

Lance thought for a moment, but couldn't think of a reason, shook his head and said, "There are too few factors, it is impossible to guess, I think it is the most important thing to restore the operation of the entire power station now."

The blackout was too big for a city like Saffron City that required high technology to function.

Medical equipment is malfunctioning, traffic is jammed, and technology companies are suffering.

It could be as short as an hour, and the entire City of Saffron would inflict heavy economic losses and human and Pokémon casualties.

Natsu also felt that the most important thing was to restore the power station as soon as possible, so he didn't think about it any further.

After walking a few steps, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind, and he quickly asked: "By the way, Lance, you said earlier that the preparations for the Elite Four betrayed the Alliance"

If it's an Elite Psychic Type Pokémon that does wide-ranging hypnosis, it's possible.

But if it's just some hypnotizing Psychic Type Pokémon, that's a bit of an exaggeration.

It's not that Natsu doesn't think about Drowzee with special abilities in the slums. His abilities were quite special, but far from capable of doing this.

Lance continued walking, waved his hand, and confirmed: "That's not him, his name is Tom Ritchie, maybe you've seen him on the news before, maybe not, he's not very famous, But I'm sure, he's not a Trainer who specializes in Psychic Type Pokémon, and he doesn't even have a Psychic Type Pokémon in his Pokémon."

He also took out a blurry photo.

Natsu could only see the person in the photo clearly. He wore a neat and tidy suit, with a thin body. His hair was neatly combed and looked rather long, but his appearance was very faint. corner of the mouth.

Natsu didn't know.

Because it wasn't him.

The only thing Natsu could think of was Saffron City's Gym Leader, Sabrina also specialized in Psychic Type Pokémon, as well as Team Rocket Executive's Top Rank.

If it's Sabrina, it's not hard to do this.

Is it Team Rocket?

"Woo!"

"Whoo!"

As the two approached the control area of ​​the power station center, Weedle and Dratini spoke at the same time shouting.

It turns out that the two Pokemon are indeed more focused than the Trainer.

But when Natsu and Lance turn the corner and see what the two Pokemon notice.

In an instant.

That's right, instant goosebumps on a physical level, and of course there are some goosebumps on the heart.

They saw a group of Magnemite hanging in the air, densely suspended in the air, jostling and piling up, and they immediately blocked the path they were about to take next.

Leaves no gaps.

As for goosebumps, it's because Magnemite is a Pokemon that relies on magnetic levitation, and a bunch of Magnemite are gathered here, so there's no doubt about magnetism.

Natsu and Lance's hair stood up uncontrollably.

The Magnemites don't attack, and they probably don't see Natsu and Lance.

Only this time, it became a little more difficult.

What to do?

When they looked at the previous map, they knew that this was the only way to the control room, but a group of Magnemite was blocking the way, let alone Natsu, even Lance was a little confused.

How to count, at least close to a hundred?

The collective Electric Type moved downwards, both of them had to kneel down.

"What do I have to do?" Lance was also slightly dumbfounded.

Natsu pondered.

Rushing forcibly would definitely not work, not to mention whether the two of them would be able to deal so much Magnemite, but to say that the damage inflicted might make it impossible for them to continue.

Moreover, Magnemite as of both Electric-Type and Steel-Type Pokémon, the restraint on Weedle's Attribute was too great, even greater than Golbat's restraint.

Steel-Type Pokémon are immune to Poison-Type moves, and the destructive power of Bug-Type moves will be halved.

Looking at Natsu, he couldn't think of a way, so he gritted his teeth, took the Poké Ball from his waist, pinched it in his hands and said solemnly:

"If that's the case, then it's impossible. The only way is to be tough."

Poke Ball is Charizard Pokémon, Fire Type and Flying Type, Fire Type holds Steel Type, if the angle of the shot is right, it doesn't mean there is no chance to overwhelm Magnemite.

But if they couldn't make it in one hit, the Electric-Type moves from so much Magnemite might be enough for a Flying-Type Charizard to drink the pot.

"Wait!" Natsu reached out to stop Lance who was about to summon Charizard, staring at the group of Magnemite with a frown.

"What?" Lance was taken aback.

"Look at the state of these Magnemite, are they very similar to the ones we encountered outside?"

"That seems to be the case, but now that they're not shooting at us, we have to destroy them too." Lance clenched the Poke Ball in his hand, his heart beating faster.

"Maybe. We just need to wake them up and give them another target." Natsu narrowed his eyes.

"Hah?"

"Does your Dratini know Thunderbolt or Thunder?" asked Natsu suddenly.

"Whoo~~" Dratini shook his head, and Lance also admitted: "He hasn't studied it yet."

"No way, I'll be counting down to three later, you let Dratini release the Thunder Wave as far as possible to the end of the corridor, there are enough free electrons here, that should be enough." Natsu arranged.

"You will use Magnemite"

"Magnemite's basic food is electricity. I don't see any exposed power supplies there, which means they're not electrified. What's interesting is that they must be deliberately arranged by the person who hypnotized them. As long as some Magnemite can be drawn, it's enough for us to get through."

Natsu continued: "If it doesn't work out in the end, come again. Don't rush."

"Okay!" Lance didn't mind Natsu's suggestion, glanced at Dratini, and Dratini immediately understood.

"Get ready, Weedle!"

"Woo!!" Weedle nodded, nodding firmly.

Then Natsu and Lance's expressions turned very serious.

"Three, two, one! Electro Web!" Natsu muttered.

"Dratini, Thunder Wave!"
