Chapter 1335

A collective Pokémon slumber incident!?

In the hotel lobby, many people were arguing about calling the police, and some were even constantly complaining to the front desk.

Unfortunately, the front desk couldn't contact anyone either.

Outside the hotel, someone ran back and shouted: "It's very strange outside! It seems like only we are awake!"

All Baimu and Cynthia looked at each other and said one after another: "I'll let Lei Jiaisi and the others take me out to take a look."

"I'll go soothe everyone."

The two nodded and performed their respective duties.

All Baimu walked out of the hotel, looked at the pale white mist gathering in the sky, and used Lei Jiaisi to fly toward the outskirts of Snowpoint City to find a place with a signal.

Flying all the way, the quiet streets were devoid of people.

Looking far into the horizon, he only felt that the mist was swirling and difficult to see through with the naked eye.

He muttered: "I have a bad premonition..."

The premonition was fulfilled.

The outermost perimeter of Snowpoint City was shrouded in thick fog, and Lei Jiaisi would only return the way it came when trying to rush out.

Isn't this the situation from the movie *The Rise of Darkrai*!

Are Palkia and Dialga fighting again?

In less than a month, what's with causing trouble three times!

All Baimu covered his head; the current situation was simply a repeat of Alamos Town, only the scope was larger...

Snowpoint City was a large coastal city!

A super-large northern metropolis with a large Gym, ruins, and even a shipping port!

When All Baimu was wandering around with his Pokémon a few days ago, he had seen quite a few brightly lit skyscrapers.

Right now, the lights in the city center buildings were on, but no busy figures could be seen inside.

All Baimu moved along the perimeter of the dense fog, trying to figure out its approximate range.

Who knew that the fog seemed to be gradually advancing toward the interior of the city; the speed wasn't fast but it was extremely obvious, just because the streetlights in the parts it was about to swallow would become dim.

However, All Baimu didn't know what the result of being swallowed by the fog would be.

Lei Jiaisi took him for a flight, and the fog had swallowed an unknown range of the entire city.

The shipping terminal could no longer be seen, and even the northern mountains where the Snowpoint Temple and the Battle Pyramid were located were swallowed by the thick fog.

Or rather, they weren't in it to begin with.

Just like Alamos Town during the space-time anomaly; at that time, only this city disappeared, and the outside world was completely unaffected.

What made All Baimu feel even stranger was that there seemed to be no other awakened people outside the hotel; people were all lying in their own homes, sleeping peacefully.

There were no traces of people or Pokémon active in the convenience stores or Pokémon Centers on the street.

Even Nurse Joy was asleep, and she couldn't be woken up!

Not normal!

Very not normal!

You have to know that Nurse Joy is a Pokémon with the 【Vital Spirit】 or 【Insomnia】 ability; even if she fell asleep, as long as you called her, she would definitely get up.

"Do you really not know what the situation is?"

All Baimu asked Lei Jiaisi again, and the result he got was exactly the same as before, and he was even asked back why he thought he would know.

It wasn't a Pokémon encyclopedia!

All Baimu: "..."

Good question!

He looked up at the moon, which was obscured by white mist this time, and let Lei Jiaisi return to the hotel.

What is currently known is that there are no awake people left outside the hotel.

"Coming for me?"

All Baimu couldn't think of a second reason.

Unless there was something else in the hotel that attracted the culprit who caused all of this.

In the lobby.

The situation had already stabilized under Cynthia's explanation.

Everyone was standing or sitting, discussing the things happening around them and the strange situation outside.

"All Baimu!"

"Champion All Baimu is back!"

The crowd gathered around excitedly, and seeing Lei Jiaisi beside him, they felt exceptionally safe.

Right now, everyone's Pokémon were all in a deep slumber; only All Baimu's three Legendary Giants were still awake.

It could be seen that this kind of sleep was abnormal.

All Baimu quietly informed Cynthia of his findings; his original intention was not to cause a panic, but after consideration, Cynthia decided to inform everyone of the situation.

"According to what you said, the fog will sooner or later cover the entire city; we definitely can't hide it, so it's better to say it out loud so everyone can brainstorm."

She said so.

Upon hearing this, All Baimu felt it indeed made a lot of sense.

Thus, everyone in the lobby learned of the situation outside.

Some people thought the fog was the reason for the Pokémon and other people's slumber, and they should put on gas masks and go outside to explore.

Others thought it was too dangerous outside, and since only the people in the hotel were still awake, it meant the hotel should be a safe house.

Everyone should hold out until help arrived from outside.

Still others felt that they were actually in a dream, and that it was they who were truly asleep, not the people in the city.

This idea was quickly denied.

A middle-aged man held up his bandaged hand and said: "I've already tried it; I cut a slit in myself with a knife, but I didn't wake up."

How ruthless!

All Baimu landed his gaze on the reddened gauze.

He had indeed had similar thoughts, but after going outside, he hadn't doubted it again.

If it were just a simple dream, the touch of the cold wind outside shouldn't be so clear, his nose shouldn't be so sharp, let alone seeing some details clearly.

The biggest flaw in a dream is the lack of details.

"What do you think?"

All Baimu turned his head to ask Cynthia.

Cynthia said: "I think what he said makes a lot of sense."

The "he" referred to the first person who proposed the idea, which was that the fog caused the Pokémon and people to sleep.

She said: "Instead of guarding the hotel and waiting for rescue, we might as well move closer to the terminal, get the ships there to leave Snowpoint City and contact the outside world; besides, Snowpoint City is also very close to the Battle Zone."

The reason for not choosing land was mainly because the heavy snow had blocked the mountains for the past two days, and the mountain roads were too slippery and dangerous.

It would be better to take the water route.

Judging by the distance on the map, the Battle Zone was actually faster than crossing mountains and ridges to reach the city closest to Snowpoint City!

All Baimu gave his approval, but asked again: "What about the Snowpoint Temple and the Battle Pyramid?"

"They shouldn't have been spared; don't waste time."

Cynthia hadn't been idle during this time either, finding everyone in the entire hotel who hadn't fallen asleep and gathering them all together.

Now they were all in the lobby, totaling about a hundred people, most of whom had luggage.

So where could they get gas masks?

Everyone looked at each other; some suggested going to the hospital or shops outside to look for them, while others suggested making them themselves.

All Baimu said: "I can make simple gas masks; the fog outside might already be spreading here, so for the sake of safety, it's better not to go out."

Gas masks weren't something every shop would sell.

He arranged for people to find raw materials—plastic bottles, cotton cloth, etc., all of which were common things.

"Sigh, if only Gengar were here."

All Baimu looked at the shadow under his feet and suddenly remembered if he could go to the Spirit Realm to take a look?

Doesn't seem like it.

To go to the Spirit Realm, he would have to let Dragapult find the entrance, and he didn't know how to channel spirits.

All Baimu quickly directed everyone to make simple gas masks and tested them after putting them on—

They worked!

He said: "Everyone, we can set off. Put your luggage back in your rooms first; we'll travel light, and we can come back to get it after the incident is resolved."

People in the Pokémon world were very cooperative, and since the one speaking was the Champion, no one disobeyed.

Right now, they didn't hesitate anymore, sent their luggage back to their rooms, and then after re-gathering, led by Lei Jiaisi and Regirock, with Registeel bringing up the rear, they advanced toward the terminal.

During this time, fog gathered visibly to the naked eye around them.

Some people nervously gripped their companions, fearing that the gas masks wouldn't work and they would faint on the spot after taking a breath.

And soon, they had to take the initiative to move toward the direction where the fog was.

"The terminal is in that direction."

All Baimu was certain.

Although the phone had lost its signal right now, the compass function could still be used, which also meant they shouldn't have gone to a different dimension.

Otherwise, the magnetic field would have been chaotic long ago!

The team kept moving forward, with thick smoke swirling all around; they couldn't see any scenery clearly beyond a meter, making people feel panicked inside.

A short while later.

All Baimu vaguely heard some kind of sound, and the people in the team with sharp ears also excitedly said: "It's the sound of waves! We're almost at the terminal!"

The panicked team was suddenly invigorated.

They couldn't stand this kind of terrifying atmosphere anymore; even with two Champions by their side, the confusion about the road ahead and the anxiety about the Pokémon's condition tortured everyone's hearts.

The team gradually accelerated their pace.

However, just as they continued to approach the direction of the waves, the leading Lei Jiaisi and Regirock suddenly stopped their steps.

"Ji-ji-ji—Lei? Ji? Eh?"

"Du-du-du—Lei..."

From the off-key humming sounds of the two, it wasn't hard to hear that an abnormal situation had occurred.

Before All Baimu could ask, the fog all around dissipated quietly, revealing large patches of ice crystals.

The crowd kept exclaiming, and the nearby houses and utility poles all disappeared, replaced by large patches of ice pillars.

They were unexpectedly placed in the middle of an ice cave!

What's the situation?

Has space shifted?

All Baimu wanted to ask the three Legendary Giants, but seeing their appearance, he knew they certainly didn't know either.

Clearly Lei Jiaisi was most sensitive to temperature changes, and Regirock had an extremely strong ability to perceive vibrations; how could they not have noticed the situation around them?

Things were becoming increasingly confusing.

Sigh, if only Porygon2 were awake!

He frowned, looked up at the top, and his body suddenly stiffened.

"Cynthia..."

"What's wrong?"

Cynthia, who was soothing the crowd, looked over upon hearing this, then followed his gaze upward, and saw a scene she couldn't believe.

Above their heads, the figures of a group of Wailord were looming.

Cynthia was silent, and after a few seconds, she said: "Are we now?"

"Mm, we should be under the sea."

All Baimu's tone was deep; he had wanted to go to the terminal to find a ship to leave Snowpoint City, but ended up being transferred directly into a strange underwater ice cave.

The road ahead was completely unknown, making people not know whether to advance or retreat.

Cynthia said: "Let's advance! We have no way back either; going back is meaningless!"

"... You're right."

All Baimu nodded and let Lei Jiaisi and Regirock continue to advance.

Although strange things happened often, the existence of the three Legendary Giants still brought him a certain sense of security.

After the crowd learned that they had to continue advancing, although there were some slightly different opinions, they couldn't disobey either.

There were those who wanted to sneak back to the hotel, but soon discovered that there was no road behind them.

A thick ice wall replaced the road they had come from.

The person who wanted to go back was so scared that he hurriedly ran back into the team and told others about his discovery.

After All Baimu learned of this, he looked at Cynthia.

"Clearly luring us over."

"Yeah."

They guessed that the culprit behind all this was preparing to lure them to a place.

As for what place exactly, they weren't too sure.

The crowd set off again.

Heaven knows how far they walked; the scenery all around basically didn't change, as if they had been walking in circles in one place the whole time.

Just as All Baimu was considering whether to destroy the ice walls around them to make a road, the scene ahead suddenly changed.

A lifelike ice sculpture stood in the center of the road; it raised its arms as if pointing at something, its expression full of terror.

"Jigglypuff? Was it frozen?"

"No, it's just an ice sculpture."

All Baimu looked closely and confirmed that it wasn't a Pokémon that had been frozen; this thing was just a simple ice sculpture.

It just appeared a bit realistic, setting off a different meaning in this strange ice cave.

The crowd's anxiety increased a bit due to the appearance of the ice sculpture.

All Baimu spoke to soothe them: "Everyone, don't be nervous; when soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover it with earth. Compared to walking in circles and not being able to get out, a change is actually a good thing."

Upon hearing this, others felt he had a point and began to cheer for those around them.

Not long after.

The ice cave seemed to have reached its end, and exceptionally bright light appeared in the distance.

"It's the exit!"

"Finally able to get out!"

"Great! Finally able to get away from this ghost place!"

The crowd shouted excitedly; they had had enough of the unchanging scenery around them and had had enough of the strange atmosphere.

No matter where the exit led, they wanted to get out as soon as possible.

All Baimu dispatched Lei Jiaisi and Regirock to scout the way; he was also very curious about where he was going.

Passing through the cave, the destination appeared.

It was an island!

Under the pitch-black night sky, the stars were dotted, waves were hitting the reefs, and a strange atmosphere permeated all around.

A huge bright moon hung in the sky, so large it looked like it was going to hit the Earth.

"Where is this?"

All Baimu took out his phone to check if there was a signal.

Unfortunately, there still wasn't.

The crowd kept making noisy sounds; everyone wanted to know exactly where they were.

All Baimu decisively rode on top of Lei Jiaisi's head and let it take him to the sea to take a look.

Cynthia and the others waited in place.

After about twenty minutes, All Baimu returned.

There were absolutely no traces of other land or islands all around.

"Are we going to wait here until dawn?" Someone asked, "Would it be better to act after dawn?"

All Baimu fell into deep thought.

He looked at Lei Jiaisi beneath him, then looked at Regirock and Registeel, still feeling that something wasn't quite right.

All of this was too inconsistent with the "common sense" regarding the Pokémon world in his heart.

Could it be some kind of new Pokémon similar to Hoopa?

All Baimu looked at the full moon in the sky and sighed again: "Porygon2, Gengar, if only you were by my side."

"Gen~ Gar~"

"Yeah, if you were by my side, I could take things out of your stomach—"

His head suddenly drooped.

In the shadow by his feet, a large face seemed to be trying hard to break through the shackles of the shadow.

It was Gengar!

Wait, if this is Gengar, then who was the one he recalled with a Poké Ball?
