## Chapter 267: Lure the Tiger Out of the Mountain Stratagem
What Bai Feng didn't know was that at this moment, two people were silently observing Fangxing Mountain from a distance. The special phenomenon caused by the Pseudo-Eternatus just now happened to catch their eye.
The two were a man and a woman. The man was dressed like a beggar, with a face full of vicissitudes and a somewhat gaunt figure, but his height was a full three meters. The woman was tall, with fiery red long hair as brilliant as flames, wearing a light yellow knee-length dress, and possessing unparalleled beauty.
The man's name was AZ, the Ancestor of Lysandre, a man who had lived for thousands of years. The woman was Zhi Huo, the long-disappeared Leader of the Immortal Organization, whose true form was a Delphox.
"Could that beam just now have been caused by the Divine Object?" Zhi Huo said thoughtfully.
AZ shook his head. "No, the Ultimate Weapon wouldn't cause that kind of phenomenon."
Divine Object was the name AZ's Younger Brother gave to it, while AZ himself called it the Ultimate Weapon. As the creator of the Ultimate Weapon, AZ believed he understood it best.
Zhi Huo looked at AZ with cold eyes, saying in a nearly cruel voice, "The Ultimate Weapon has been lost from your hands for thousands of years. How do you know it hasn't been modified by others?"
If she could, Zhi Huo truly wanted to kill the man in front of her immediately. All her tragedies began because of this man!
But she couldn't do that yet. She needed to use this man's hand to restart the Ultimate Weapon and help her revive Diancie.
Zhi Huo's words made AZ fall silent. There was indeed that possibility.
"If I help you get the Ultimate Weapon back, will you really release Floette as promised?" AZ looked at Zhi Huo with lifeless eyes.
The reason AZ was associated with Zhi Huo was because his beloved Floette had fallen into Zhi Huo's hands. If he didn't follow Zhi Huo's instructions, Floette would be killed by the opponent.
AZ knew that if he helped Zhi Huo get the Ultimate Weapon, Floette would never forgive him, but he still had to do it. He would rather Floette hate him than have it die.
"Of course it's true, I will never break my promise!" Zhi Huo withdrew her gaze from AZ, thinking: I will release Floette, but whether I let you go is another matter!
Bai Feng didn't know at this time that Zhi Huo was already plotting to take the Ultimate Weapon, which no longer existed, from him. After taking the Core from the Pseudo-Eternatus's chest and abdomen, he returned to his Home's Roof and placed it back on top of the Giant Moon Stone.
"From now on, your main job is to help charge this Core. Just ensure six hours of work time a day, and you can use the rest of the time as you wish," Bai Feng said to the Clefairy and Clefable.
"Clefairy~"
"Clefable~"
...
The Clefairy and Clefable nodded in agreement.
After giving instructions to the Clefairy and Clefable, Bai Feng went back to meditate and training.
The next day, after Bai Feng returned Home from School, he suddenly received a phone call from Brother Dong Yu.
"Bai Feng, a batch of Berry we sent to Changqing Tree Breeding House was robbed during transport!" Brother Dong Yu's anxious voice came from the other end of the line.
"Robbed?" Bai Feng frowned upon hearing this. "Have you found out who did it?"
Currently, two Pokémon Day Care are collaborating with Fangxing Mountain: Wanhe Breeding House, a local Pokémon Day Care in Biyi City, and the Branch of Changqing Tree Breeding House in Lumiose City.
"Not yet! Officer Jenny said that from the traces at the scene, it's very likely Wild Pokémon did it, but she also has a gut feeling that the matter might not be that simple," Dongyu explained the progress of the case to Bai Feng.
"Wild Pokémon?"
Bai Feng found it very strange. The Delivery Company they commissioned to transport the goods was very famous and known for its excellent security. Logically, when the Delivery Company transports large quantities of goods, they usually arrange experienced Pokémon Trainer to escort them. How could Wild Pokémon succeed so easily?
Then Dongyu added, "Officer Jenny in Lumiose City hopes you can come over and assist them with the investigation."
Bai Feng didn't think too much, pondered for a while, and said, "I understand, I'll get there as soon as possible."
After giving instructions about the matters at Home, Bai Feng rode his Dragonair and set off towards Lumiose City. The goods were robbed in the Suburban Area of Lumiose City.
Lumiose City is not far from Biyi City, and now that Dragonair's speed has increased significantly, Bai Feng quickly reached his destination and met the Officer Jenny investigating the case.
This wasn't the first time Bai Feng had met the Officer Jenny from Lumiose City. She still remembered Bai Feng, so after exchanging pleasantries, they began discussing the Berry robbery.
The quantity of Berry robbed from Fangxing Mountain this time was enormous, totaling hundreds of thousands of kilograms, which is why the Police in Lumiose City attached such importance to it.
Originally, after this partnership, Fangxing Mountain would establish a deep partnership with Changqing Tree. The manager of the Changqing Tree Branch in Lumiose City would introduce Fangxing Mountain to the headquarters. If the Changqing Tree headquarters was satisfied with Fangxing Mountain's Berry, then Fangxing Mountain's Berry would be sold throughout the world through their hands.
Who would have thought such a big blunder would suddenly occur? If this batch of Berry couldn't be recovered, the partnership between Fangxing Mountain and the Changqing Tree headquarters would be in jeopardy!
After communicating with Officer Jenny, Bai Feng learned that although the traces left at the scene indeed resembled a Wild Pokémon crime incident, Officer Jenny discovered something unusual based on what the Delivery Company Staff Member said.
The group of Wild Pokémon that came to rob were too organized and disciplined, completely unlike Wild Pokémon. Instead, they seemed to have undergone strict training, and their strength was also particularly great. The Pokémon Trainer sent by the Delivery Company to escort the goods were actually no match for them. It's important to know that these Pokémon Trainer were veterans with rich practical experience!
Later, Officer Jenny led people to investigate the vicinity, but they found no trace of that group of Pokémon. If they were truly Wild Pokémon, it would be impossible for them to disappear without leaving any trace. They should have a habitat, right?
Therefore, Officer Jenny suspected that the ones who robbed the Berry might be one of Bai Feng's enemies, which is why she invited Bai Feng to assist in the investigation.
After listening to Officer Jenny's analysis of the case, Bai Feng thought for a while and said, "Officer Jenny, can I go to the scene to take a look?"
At the time of the incident, there should have been real Wild Pokémon nearby. Bai Feng decided to go there and see if he could get some useful information from the real Wild Pokémon.
Officer Jenny knew that Bai Feng had the ability to communicate with Pokémon and also thought it was a good method. So, she rode her motorcycle and took Bai Feng to the crime scene located in the Suburbs of Lumiose City.
As soon as Bai Feng and Officer Jenny left the Police Station, AZ, who was lurking near Fangxing Mountain, received a phone call. After a long while, he hung up the phone and said to Zhi Huo beside him:
"The young man named Bai Feng has arrived in Lumiose City. We can make our move."
Zhi Huo's face lit up with a bright smile upon hearing this. "Very good, then let's go up the Mountain!" She knew that the current Bai Feng was no longer the young boy from back then, so this time she decided to take action herself and even used the Lure the Tiger Out of the Mountain Stratagem.
With that, Zhi Huo took the lead, walking step by step towards the Mountain top of Fangxing Mountain with elegant and composed steps.
Actually, Zhi Huo was not clear about the battle situation inside Fangxing Mountain because the defenses of Fangxing Mountain were too strict, and her scout couldn't get in at all.
However, she was very confident in her own strength, confident that she could take Fangxing Mountain now that Bai Feng had left. She hadn't truly taken action for many years, and for a moment, she felt a bit excited!
Because neither of them concealed their trace and went up the Mountain so openly, the Talonflame patrolling in the Sky quickly discovered their trace.
"Ya-kro~ Ya-kro~ Ya-kro~" Who are you? Please stop, this is private property, unauthorized entry is not allowed!
A Talonflame's voice sounded, sternly warning Zhi Huo and AZ.
Zhi Huo said nothing. She just looked directly at the Talonflame, her eyes flashing with flickering purple radiance. The next second, the Talonflame cried out and fell from the Sky.
Zhi Huo only wanted the Ultimate Weapon and didn't want to be an enemy of Bai Feng, so she didn't kill the Talonflame.
The Corviknight and other Talonflame that arrived one after another saw their companion injured and unconscious and immediately knew that the newcomers meant trouble.
The Talonflame Captain did not immediately attack Zhi Huo and AZ. Instead, it flapped its wings and flew to High Altitude, letting out a long cry with extreme penetration. This long cry echoed throughout Fangxing Mountain.
Bai Ye was sitting cross-legged on the large stone in front of the door, meditating. Upon hearing the Talonflame Captain's long cry, it suddenly opened its eyes and disappeared from its Original spot the next second.
Lopunny was in the Room guiding Caicaizi and Yangtai in making Pokéblock. Upon hearing the Talonflame Captain's long cry, its movements paused, and then it called out to Hatterene, telling it to guard the Home well. It then stepped out into the courtyard with light steps. It looked at the flames in the distance that dyed the Sky red, leaped up, and disappeared from its Original spot.
Mewtwo was in the Warehouse where the aircraft were parked, discussing the maintenance of the aircraft with Solosis. After a high-pitched long cry sounded, its speaking voice stopped abruptly. Without any hesitation, after instructing Solosis a few words, its figure disappeared from the Warehouse.
Senior Ninetales was half-opening one eye, casually guiding Lysandre's Pyroar in training. Suddenly, its ears perked up. After listening for a moment, it crawled out of the Hole where it resided, shook its full, plump body, and flew out of the Ecological Park on flames.
For a moment, all the Pokémon on the Mountain knew that enemies had invaded.
After issuing the alarm, the Talonflame Captain led its Subordinate and swooped down, simultaneously attacking Zhi Huo and AZ.
Zhi Huo made no extra movements, standing quietly to the side. AZ stepped forward, and a Poké Ball appeared in his hand. As a red light flashed on the Poké Ball, a tall Golurk appeared in the Sky.
"Go-lurk~"
As the Golurk let out a roar, it raised its arms and its body quickly rotated. In an instant, all the Talonflame and Corviknight were sent flying by its spinning arms. Only the Talonflame Captain was still struggling to hold on.
For the Talonflame and Corviknight, the Golurk's strength was too great.
The move the Golurk used just now was the Dark type Darkest Lariat. At this moment, the Talonflame Captain was gripping one of the Golurk's arms with its claws, forcing it to interrupt its attack, but from the Talonflame Captain's expression, it was struggling greatly.
Finally, the Gyarados and Clawitzer closest to here arrived. The two teams of Pokémon lined up in two rows. The Gyarados on the left front simultaneously whipped their Aqua Tail towards the Golurk, while the Clawitzer on the right front simultaneously shot Water Pulse at it.
Although the two teams of Pokémon usually liked to compete, they had worked together for so long that their partnership was very tacit. The joint attack was incredibly smooth. Aqua Tail and Water Pulse fused together, forming an overwhelming tidal wave that surged towards the invaders.
Since Fangxing Mountain was last invaded, the Employee on the Mountain had been working hard at training, and their strength was now incomparable to what it was before.
Facing such a fierce attack, the Golurk did not lose its composure at all. It roared again, exerted force with its arm, and fiercely threw the Talonflame Captain away. At the same time, a transparent barrier appeared around its body, enveloping itself, AZ, and Zhi Huo.
The surging tidal wave crashed onto the Golurk's barrier, but it did not cause any damage to the Golurk, AZ, and Zhi Huo inside the barrier.
The Golurk was using the defense move Protect.
After the tide receded, the Golurk raised its arm and heavily smashed it towards the Ground. A wave of cold air quickly spread along the Ground, extending under the Gyarados and Clawitzer in the blink of an eye.
The two teams of Pokémon had no time to dodge and were instantly frozen by the ice.
It wasn't that the Gyarados and Clawitzer were weak, but that the Golurk was too powerful.
After dealing with the Gyarados and Clawitzer, AZ and Zhi Huo were about to continue forward when suddenly a giant silver moon appeared in the Sky. Beneath the silver moon, twelve Florges stood neatly below. A giant silver light pillar, controlled by them, swept towards the Golurk.
"Golurk, Flash Cannon!"
Seeing this situation, AZ spoke up.
Upon hearing this, the Golurk put its hands in front of its chest, and a ball of light emitting a metallic radiance appeared. Before the Florges' Moonblast could attack it, a light pillar with a metallic radiance shot out.
Flash Cannon and Moonblast collided, canceling each other out and causing a violent explosion in the Sky. The resulting airwave blew the surrounding fruit trees back and forth, and the flower buds on the trees instantly fell to the Ground.
At this moment, Zhi Huo also made her move. A brown wooden stick appeared in her hand at some point. She drew a line in the air with the wooden stick, and a ring of fire appeared. Surging flames poured out from it, roaring and pouncing towards the Florges.
The high temperature generated by Mystical Fire scared the Florges, making them lose their composure.
However, just as the roaring flames were about to engulf the Florges, a white figure appeared out of thin air, and at the same time, a black hole also appeared.
In an instant, all the flames were absorbed by the black hole, as if they had never appeared!
