Chapter 68 The Cowardly Li Li
Chapter 68 The Cowardly Li Li
Crimson Knight hadn't expected Oni-kai to suddenly challenge him to a battle.
But when it looked at Tan Xiaoshi, who was holding a baby bottle at the edge of the battlefield with pure eyes, its gaze hardened.
"Armor. (Come, I will protect my people.)"
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Li Li: "Armor. (Help me out, Trainer.)"
Looking at Guihai, who was carrying two swords as if he were about to fight, Li Li suddenly thought of the scene where Guihai defeated Xidoraen with a single sword strike, and her body trembled involuntarily.
She simply didn't have the courage to command the Crimson Armored Knights against a Heavenly King who had personally killed a divine beast.
Li Li looked to Yang Sisi for help: "Sisi, why don't you take command of the Crimson Lotus Armored Cavalry? Didn't you want to challenge the Ghost Sea Heavenly King?"
Yang Sisi's eyes lit up at first, but then she shook her head firmly: "Li Li, don't disappoint the Crimson Lotus Armored Cavalry. It recognizes you."
Li Li glanced back at the Crimson Lotus Armored Rider and felt a pang of bitterness in her heart upon seeing its gaze.
She looked around for help, but everyone just nodded encouragingly at her; no one wanted to fight for her.
Guihai snorted and said to Crimson Knight, "Your trainer is not worthy of your strength, so why don't you do it yourself?"
"armor."
The Crimson Lotus Armored Knight turned around and shook his head firmly, then looked at Li Li.
Cinnabar is an extremely loyal Pokémon.
They have their own pursuits regarding the people and things they believe they want to protect.
Now that it has accepted Li Li, it will not abandon her.
Gui Hai glanced at Li Li, who was still hesitating whether or not to face him.
He brandished a sword with one hand and began to perform a sword dance.
At the same time, his figure disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already behind the Crimson Lotus Armored Knight, slashing down with his right-hand longsword.
Li Li's pupils contracted slightly: "Be careful."
The Crimson Lotus Knight also sensed the killing intent behind him and quickly lunged forward to dodge the Ghost Sea's slash.
But that's not all.
Guihai himself is a master swordsman; if he misses one move, he will naturally follow up with a combo.
Gui Hai leaned forward, slashing with his two swords in quick succession, forming an impenetrable net of swords that enveloped the Crimson Lotus Armored Cavalry.
Unable to wait for Li Li's command, the Crimson Lotus Armored Knights had to make their own decision, with phosphorescent flames appearing around them, causing them to float and burn towards the Ghost Sea.
However, these flames were too slow, and Guihai dodged them with just a flash.
Ghost-type energy surged from Gui Hai's body, forming a demonic shadow behind him.
A terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the Crimson Lotus Knights.
At the same time, the shadows extended beneath Oni-kai's running footsteps, appearing behind the Crimson Lotus Knight.
The shadow suddenly rose up, its long sword raised high, ready to strike the neck of the Crimson Lotus Knight in the next second.
The battle occurred suddenly.
No one expected Guihai to make a move so suddenly.
From Li Li's exclamation to the moment when the Red Lotus was activated and trapped in a desperate situation, it was only a matter of a moment.
At this moment, apart from the two gym leaders of the Firestone City Gym, no one else in the arena had reacted yet.
This also includes Li Li, who is supposed to command the Crimson Lotus Cavalry in battle.
Moreover, by this point, even if Li Li realized what was happening, it would be too late.
The Dark Shadow of the Demon Sea has affected the mind of the Crimson Knight and caused him harm.
The shadow attack has already closed in and could injure the Crimson Lotus Knight in the next second.
With both methods employed simultaneously, Li Li had no time to be saved.
"Boom."
A sword mark appeared on the Crimson Lotus Knight's golden armor, and he was thrown forward by the immense force.
Guihai met the fallen Crimson Lotus Knight head-on, gripping the hilts of the two sword sheaths in reverse and crossing them in front of him.
All four eyes simultaneously emitted strange gazes.
The Crimson Lotus Knights have fallen victim to this attack once again.
Guihai used his longsword to leave several wounds on its body.
The moment the Crimson Armored Knight fell, he lost almost all his fighting ability. His body trembled, and he tried to get up but had no strength.
Ghost Sea pointed his longsword diagonally at the ground, looking down at the Crimson Lotus Armored Cavalry.
"Your trainer can't help you for now. If you're only at this level, you probably can't protect your people. Your current strength can only bring them disaster."
The Crimson Lotus Knight struggled slightly, but couldn't stand up.
"Tantan."
Seeing that Guihai had dealt with the Crimson Lotus Knights in a few moves, the two newly born Tanjiki exclaimed in surprise.
I'm a little worried about Crimson Knight, a Pokémon that looks a lot like them.
I was also somewhat pleased with the strength of the trainer I had just met.
Guihai and Honglian Kaiki simultaneously turned their heads to look at the two little guys at the edge of the battlefield.
At this moment, they let go of the milk bottle they had been holding, and their eyes scanned back and forth between the Crimson Armored Knights and the Ghost Sea.
Sparks kept emerging from the eyes burning with eerie blue flames.
Ghost Sea took two steps back: "Gengar."
The chubby boy, who was in sync with Gui Hai, floated over.
The chubby little hand reached into its four-dimensional belly, rummaged around, and took out a healing spray. It sprayed the Crimson Lotus Knight a few times to heal its injuries.
Then it floated over to the two Charcoal Sprites and used the energy cubes made by Oni-kai to amuse the two little guys.
Ghost Sea pointed his longsword at Crimson Armored Rider: "I'll give you one more chance. You can choose a trainer to help you and let me see your strength and determination."
The Crimson Lotus Armored Knight instinctively turned around to look at Li Li.
Then it noticed that the look of terror on Li Li's face had not faded, as if it was still frozen in the moment when it was knocked down.
Flames flickered in Crimson Knight's eyes as he turned to scan the other trainers present.
Yang Sisi, Bai Xian, Pan Xingyang, and breeders from the breeding house.
These people watched the Crimson Lotus Armored Knight, waiting for it to make a decision.
Li Li noticed that the Crimson Lotus Armored Knights had looked away from her and lowered their heads.
She was the one who held Crimson Knight back. If Crimson Knight were willing, she would entrust it to a new trainer it approved of.
But... but why do I feel a little empty inside?
Just then, Li Li suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and felt several eyes on her.
One of the dishes was one she was very familiar with.
Completely ignored, only looking at his own Demon Sea King when it comes to the matter of Crimson Armored Knight.
From the moment she showed fear of him, the Heavenly King never looked at her directly again.
Li Li looked up in confusion.
His red eyes met those of the Crimson Armored Knight.
"armor."
In the end, the Crimson Lotus Knights chose Li Li.
Gui Hai remained silent this time, lowering the longsword that was pointing at the Crimson Lotus Knights, awaiting Li Li's decision.
He had no expectations of Li Li, but this was the choice of the Crimson Lotus Knights.
Ghostsea acknowledges and respects the decisions of any Pokémon that dares to approach him.
Even if the other party chooses a trainer that he does not approve of.
Li Li and the Red Lotus Armored Cavalry looked at each other, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
She didn't want to disappoint the Crimson Lotus Knights.
But... but the shadow of that superstar always loomed over her, making it impossible for her to escape.
"armor."
Li Li hesitated.
Suddenly someone tugged at her sleeve.
Li Li thought it was Yang Sisi, but she only realized it was Gengar when she turned around.
Gengar from the Sea of Ghosts.
Gengar was holding two Charcoal Spawns in its arms and was using psychic powers to nurse them.
But a bell was floating in front of it.
That was an elf item, the Soothing Bell.
Originally intended for Pokémon, it can also be used by humans to soothe their emotions at times.
Gui Hai had used this comforting bell when she first met Li Li.
But after using it, it was returned to Gengar.
Now Gengar has lent it to Lili.
"Kouji. (I only lent it to the Crimson Knight's trainer.)"
Like Gengar, it doesn't approve of Lili, but it also likes Crimson Knight and is willing to help it.
After delivering the bell, Gengar carried the two Charcoal Sprites and flew away quickly.
But this also left Li Li with no way out.
