Chapter 1384: Sea Temple, Runaway

In terms of speed alone, Zeraora is the well-deserved number one among the Pokémon in Su Hao's team.

If Incineroar's current drive is to strengthen physical strength while enhancing short-term burst speed,

then Zeraora's current drive is to greatly strengthen speed, while strengthening physical strength to ensure the body can withstand high speed.

Living up to Su Hao's expectations, the moment the magnetic field was deployed, Zeraora erupted with unparalleled speed, seized the one-second gap created by Manaphy's self-sacrifice, and forcibly dragged Chi Lang out.

After dragging Chi Lang out, Zeraora backhanded him to the ground with a shoulder throw. Taking advantage of him spitting blood, Zeraora suppressed Chi Lang so he couldn't move.

Under the huge physical gap between humans and Pokémon, Chi Lang didn't even have room to move his fingers, let alone do anything else.

Chi Lang's gloomy gaze fell successively on Zeraora, the Sea Crown, Manaphy, and Su Hao, who was approaching him.

He never expected Manaphy to be willing to drag himself into the water even if it meant its future might be ruined.

How stupid.

Clearly, as long as it endured the pain, when he left and the ocean was expanded by Kyogre to cover the planet, with the expansion of the authority range, Manaphy could fully spend some time to recover, and might even become stronger than all previous Manaphy.

Now, Manaphy, which forcibly disconnected the inheritance, not only hadn't truly transformed because the inheritance was only halfway through, but would also not be able to wait for the day when the Sea Crown recharged enough to restart the inheritance due to its lifespan.

This is truly losing the wife and the army, a losing business no matter how you calculate it.

Manaphy, lying on the ground, suffered an unprecedented sense of weakness. Everything in front of it was pitch black, and it even felt like it was about to die in the next second.

At this moment, a warm current flowed into Manaphy's body, and the pulsing of that life aura brought a modicum of comfort to Manaphy's body, which was riddled with flaws due to the incompleteness of its inheritance.

"Are you okay?"

Manaphy struggled to open its eyes and collided with Su Hao's worried gaze. It first smiled weakly, as if thanking Su Hao for his help.

Subsequently, Manaphy struggled to turn its head to look at Chi Lang, making a sound as thin as a mosquito: "Mana..."

Now, compared to its state, the more urgent thing is to recover the indigo orb in Chi Lang's hand. The energy drained from the Sea Crown is all stored in it. Perhaps there are other ways to let the energy return to the Sea Crown...

But that would have to be considered after taking back the Sea Crown.

"..."

Su Hao, holding Manaphy's petite body with one hand, nodded silently. Indeed, the top priority now is to recover the indigo orb from Chi Lang.

Just as Su Hao intended to speak to let Zeraora throw the indigo orb to him, the entire Sea Temple began to vibrate, and the Sea Crown crystal at the center began to flash frequently.

The strong vibration made Su Hao almost lose his footing, and Reshiram's anxious voice sounded in his mind: "Not good, because it lost most of its energy and the inheritor at the same time, the Sea Crown, as the core of the Sea Temple, is out of control. The Sea Temple seems to have entered some kind of runaway mode!"

Su Hao's expression immediately became heavy. The runaway of the Sea Temple is not good news. He must race against time to grab the indigo orb back.

I don't know what's going on outside.

Forcibly moving step by step toward the position of Zeraora and Chi Lang in the vibration where ordinary people could hardly stand, Su Hao shouted: "Zeraora, hold him down, don't let him have any chance to escape!"

"Ora!"

Zeraora responded, pressing harder on Chi Lang's body, making his bones creak under the unbearable weight.

Su Hao recalled Milotic and the Hisuian Braviary, who were temporarily unable to fight. With Diancie's support, his feet left the ground and he floated toward Chi Lang. The space here was chaotic, and ordinary Elite-level Pokémon probably couldn't use teleportation, so they could only walk or fly.

In the animation, the indigo orb or the red orb has the function of merging into the body of humans or Pokémon, controlling them to liberate Kyogre and Groudon.

Su Hao couldn't guarantee that Zeraora wouldn't have an accident when touching the indigo orb, so he could only let Zeraora temporarily suppress Chi Lang, and let Manaphy, who had recovered a little strength under his treatment, touch the indigo orb.

As long as Manaphy in his arms picks up the indigo orb, Chi Lang's plan will be declared bankrupt, and everything will be settled.

"Haha... Hahaha... Hahahahaha."

Chi Lang, who was pressed hard by Zeraora, not only didn't break down because his plan was about to fail, but instead laughed heartily. The stubborn light in his eyes made Zeraora, who was inexperienced in the world, feel that this person was creepy.

His limbs were suppressed, and his head could only turn slightly, but Chi Lang's mouth could still speak. After the laughter gradually stopped, he shouted manically: "It seems that for my great cause, my long-cherished wish, I must die today."

"But that doesn't matter. Death is the end of my life, but my long-cherished wish will be inherited—"

The moment Chi Lang's voice fell, in Su Hao's Aura perception, a very obvious Aura suddenly appeared on the periphery of the Sea Temple and approached the core area at a terrifying speed!

1... 2... 3!

In just three seconds, a dark blue afterimage appeared in the room, and the high-pressure water jet behind it brought it unparalleled burst speed.

At this time, Su Hao saw the true face of that guy.

Mega... Sharpedo!?

And, it was at the peak of the Elite level, just one step away from entering the Champion level!

The intrusion of Mega Sharpedo was completely beyond Su Hao's expectations. It seemed to have used the Speed Boost ability to stack it to the extreme before Mega Evolving, and its speed was countless times faster than Zeraora.

However, in a flash, that figure opened its bloody mouth and bit toward Zeraora!

If it were bitten firmly, given the strength gap between Zeraora and Mega Sharpedo, Zeraora's body would definitely be cut in half.

"Diancie!"

The moment Su Hao's voice fell, a pale gold Reflect wall opened in front of Zeraora, and the Diamond Storm condensed by Diancie in a hurry also rolled toward Mega Sharpedo.

But Mega Sharpedo's act of attacking Zeraora was just a feint. It flexibly turned its body, and with the adjustment of the water jet—it opened its mouth to bite Chi Lang's right hand that was not protected and the indigo orb!

Only a crisp biting sound was heard. Under Chi Lang's scream, his entire right arm was torn off by Mega Sharpedo. After biting Chi Lang's right hand and the indigo orb, Mega Sharpedo, as if it knew what it was doing, fled at a terrifying speed!
