Chapter 8
Barry walked to the door with the Poké Ball in his hand and asked softly:
"Who is it?"
Silence.
A strange atmosphere filled the air in front of the door.
The knocking on the door stopped, as if what had happened before was all Barry's hallucination.
Barry suddenly thought of the notorious evil Pokémon organization "Dark Star" that had been reported on TV before. It seemed that they were active nearby during this period.
They also attacked a Poké Center of the League and stole a lot of Pokémon. A drop of cold sweat couldn't help but flow down his forehead.
"Dark Star" is a new dark organization that has suddenly emerged in the past five years.
Unlike other evil organizations active in the same period, "Dark Star" focuses on an elite system with only a couple hundred battle members, each of whom is capable and powerful.
There are seven top-level trainers officially reported by the league in the news, not to mention their extremely mysterious and powerful leader "Black".
Barry gripped the Poké Ball tighter in his hand, swallowed, and reached for the door handle.
"Crack…"
The wooden door slowly opened, Barry tensed his muscles, and the Poké Ball in his left hand vibrated slightly.
The Pokémon inside seemed to sense their master's nervousness and was ready to break out of the ball at any moment.
"Maa!"
A strange Mareep stood stupidly in front of the door.
Barry breathed a sigh of relief and put the Poké Ball in his hand back into his belt.
"You scared me!"
"Why are you here?"
Of course Barry knew this Mareep.
It's not that Barry has a good memory, but this Mareep is really special.
It was fine before, but a while ago it suddenly went crazy and started running and jumping around the pasture.
Barry, who treated every Pokémon in the ranch as a treasure, was so afraid it was infected with some Pokémon virus.
He specially invited a professional Poké doctor, and although it turned out to be a false alarm in the end, he was still deeply confused by the strange behavior of the Mere sheep.
"Maa!"
"Maa!"
Lu Yun shouted anxiously to Barry.
Barry thought it was just the mischievous behavior of the sheep, so he smiled and shook his head, intending to take it back to the sheepfold.
Lu Yun looked at Barry who didn't take him seriously, and felt anxious and angry, and his mind turned.
He walked forward, grabbed Barry's trouser leg, pulled it slightly behind him, then let go and ran behind him. When he was not far from Barry, he stopped and shouted to him.
"this..."
As the rancher of Barley Ranch, Barry can say that all the Pokémon on the ranch were raised by him personally.
Of course, we also have a sufficient understanding of their behavior and psychology.
The behavior of the sheep in front of him was obviously not his usual mischievous behavior.
"You want to take me somewhere?"
Lu Yun looked at Barry in front of him who finally understood what he meant. He felt relieved and nodded quickly, then ran towards the direction where the voice came from.
Seeing the Mareep in front of him nod in confirmation, Barry said nothing more, but just silently followed behind it.
Along the way, Barry wondered in his heart, where is this strange Mareep going to take him?
Did he discover that the fruit trees he planted in the center of the ranch had borne fruit and wanted to take credit for it?
Or have you discovered a fellow Mareep that needs to evolve?
If a Mareep could evolve into Flaafy, it would be a good thing for the current situation of the ranch.
Although the price of Flaafy feed is much more expensive than that of Mareep,
Their wool was far more popular on the market.
Barry was lost in thought when suddenly, a faint smell of blood came from the air.
"Huh?"
Barry frowned, realizing that things were not simple.
Maybe a sheep is injured!
For today's ranches, any Pokémon raised there is very important and no mistakes can be made.
Barry couldn't help but quicken his pace, and the increasingly strong smell of blood in the air seemed to confirm his thoughts.
"Ruff..."
Suddenly, a noise came from the front.
"This voice…"
Barry's face changed drastically and he ran towards the direction where the sound came from.
...............
The dim sunset, with its deep twilight, spreads the last beauty of its life to the world.
Herdier felt the sharp pain coming from the right side of his abdomen, breathing slightly, his bright eyes fixed on the powerful opponent in front of him.
The body, which was much larger than Herdier, was covered with dense red and white hair. It had the appearance of a wolf, but stood like a human. Two long, slender forelimbs with three sharp claws seemed to hang lazily in front of the body. The wound on Herdier ventral side told him how powerful the explosive power of these seemingly weak arms was. The thick white mane extended from the back to the top of the head, with black rocks embedded in its tip like sharp blades. A pair of eyes emitting red light revealed bloodiness and cruelty.
Herdier didn't know what kind of Pokémon it was in front of him. He only knew that the Pokémon was trying to attack the Mareep in the pasture, and he was the protector of this pasture.
"Drip…drip…"
Blood kept gushing out and dripping from the wound.
Herdier looked at the strange Pokémon in front of him that gave him a teasing look, and his fighting spirit grew stronger.
"Ruff!"
He pushed the ground hard with his hind legs, leaving two deep footprints on the grass, and condensed white light spread throughout his body.
With an astonishing momentum, his whole body was as fast as the wind and he rushed towards his opponent fiercely.
"slam!"
The Lycanroc looked at the ridiculous puppy that was fighting stubbornly in front of him, with a hint of contempt on his face.
The left claw condensed a deep yellow energy,
Cohesion, solidity,
The shape of a solid rock was revealed, and it was thrown fiercely towards Herdier who was rushing forward.
"Bang!"
Herdier was moving at high speed and couldn't dodge in time.
He was hit hard by the dark rock mixed with thick yellow energy, and felt a sharp pain, and his figure slowed down.
"Lash Out!"
The explosive power of the Lycanroc suddenly erupted.
A red body with a faint shadow suddenly appeared beside Herdier, and the surface of its two claws was a dangerous dark purple, and it smashed down in a cross shape with a hard black light.
"Puff!"
The sharp claws dug deep into the flesh, and hot blood spurted out like a fountain.
Herdier felt his eyes go dark, and his weak body rolled forward due to inertia.
The Lycanroc licked the bright red blood splashed on his face with his tongue, showing a cruel smile, and slowly walked towards Herdier.
"…"
"Mach Punch!"
There were bursts of sonic booms.
A gray figure wrapped in a strong wind pressure, the aura collapsed,
The fist with explosive energy hit the werewolf hard.
The werewolf's eyes narrowed, and he kicked his legs to avoid the attack.
"boom!"
The powerful impact left a deep hole in the grass, and the strong wind blew away the broken soil.
A furious roar roared out.
"Cho!!!"
