Chapter 55 The Sniper in the Nursing Home
Lin Ye was carried through the mist by the "fire-breathing dragon" and discovered that the valley hidden in the mist was actually a paradise!
The area is surrounded by steep cliffs, isolating this place from the outside world. Below lies an open meadow, with a clear stream flowing down the cliff face, shimmering silver in the moonlight.
Lin Ye looked towards the center of the grass and immediately spotted a huge earth tortoise lying there, seemingly sleeping.
Lin Ye sensed that aura briefly and felt as if his spiritual power had hit a wall.
Unfathomable!
Its level has definitely surpassed the "professional" stage!
On the shell of the earth turtle, there grows a large tree with lush branches and leaves. Its canopy is like a huge umbrella, covering most of the earth turtle's back.
Beneath the tree, on a rock-like tortoise shell, a fire-type nine-tailed fox lay gracefully, its nine tails swaying gently, gleaming softly in the moonlight.
Above it, a Noivern Dragon was hanging upside down from a thick tree trunk by its tail, its wings folded, and it looked like it was sleeping.
"Are these your old revolutionary comrades-in-arms? Nine-tailed Fox, Noisy Dragon, and Torterra, they really are all long-lived species."
Lin Ye felt a surge of emotion. Both Nine-Tails and Noivern exuded peak "professional" strength, similar to Zoroark.
The oldest-looking tortoise, which was much larger than its peers, was rumored to be a terrifying "Gym Leader-level" creature.
The "fire-breathing dragons" landed on the ground and returned to their secluded "retirement activity center"!
Noivern and Ninetales lazily raised their eyes, looked in Lin Ye's direction, and then said something to Zoroark.
The latter quickly replied, "He is indeed a friend I just met. He's no ordinary person, and he's quite interesting. He also has one of my kind with him."
Upon hearing this, not only were the two startled, but even the seemingly sleeping earth turtle opened its eyes and uttered a long string of "moo~"!
Zoroark nodded: "Yes, I also thought I was the last one, but I never expected to meet a true fellow human."
Then, Zoroark introduced them to Lin Ye: "They are the chief of the Earth Platform Tortoises, Ajiu, and Xiaoyin."
They're all my old comrades-in-arms, very easygoing. Don't be shy, feel free to let them all out!
"Okay~"
With a single thought from Lin Ye, four Pokémon darted out of the shadows. Except for the Twin Swords Sheaths, which looked like they had a deep grudge, the others looked around with great curiosity.
Soroya, having consumed two "Lampberries" in succession, experienced a sudden surge in energy, resulting in a slight feeling of unsteadiness.
This is because it has not yet fully digested the pure energy contained in the two tree fruits. Once it has fully digested them, Zorua's energy level will inevitably increase significantly.
When the older generation of Pokémon revolutionaries saw Zoroar, they were all amazed and went to watch.
His words showed concern for the younger generation, but he never spoke in a condescending or arrogant manner.
"Hey, little fox, they're all traitors. Don't let them buy you off with just a few words!"
The group of retired Pokémon then looked at the oddly colored single-edged sword sheath before them, and Ninetales spoke:
"Hey everyone, come and see! Even in this day and age, we can still see feudal ideas from the Kingdom period!"
I imagine this swordsman must be quite the lovable oddball outside!
Since Lin Ye could only understand the words of Ghost Pokémon, Froslass floated in front of him to translate for him, and then joined the laughter around them.
The old revolutionaries from the previous era were not angered by the words of the two sword sheaths. On the contrary, they all looked calm and composed, as if they had truly put aside all the grudges from back then.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. The war was over a century ago, so how could these immortal beings continue to live with such deep-seated hatred?
As Lin Ye was reflecting on this, he noticed that the blades of the two sword sheaths beside him had begun to tremble slightly.
That trembling wasn't from fear, but from anger.
"You traitors!"
Two swords were drawn simultaneously from their sheaths, pointed at the group of retired Pokémon before them. Two voices rang out at the same time, one calm but restrained, the other furious and about to breathe fire:
"I served the Empire and my lord faithfully during my lifetime, and I will not forget the cause of restoring the country even after my death. I will swear to defend the legitimacy of the Empire to the death."
As he spoke, he disregarded the huge difference in strength and slashed at the strongest Earth Platform Turtle on the other side.
Other retired cadres, upon witnessing this scene, showed no concern whatsoever; instead, they wore amused smiles.
As expected, the sword light from the dual scabbards struck the incredibly hard shell of the earth-platform tortoise, leaving only faint scratches.
The next moment, it was tightly bound by several vines formed from emerald green energy.
"Your obsession runs too deep! More than a hundred years have passed, and the empire you served has long since become just a few lines in a history book."
Now, by a stroke of luck, I've been able to shed my mortal body and live a new life as a Pokémon. Why dwell on the past?
After speaking, the unfathomable earth turtle released its twin sword sheaths, showing no intention of pursuing the matter further. In fact, the latter posed no threat to it whatsoever.
Faced with the enormous gap in strength, the two sword sheaths understood that continuing the fight would only lead to humiliation, so they sheathed their swords and silently drifted to the side.
"Boss, your brother's temper is too impulsive. He needs to change it, or he'll suffer in the future."
Lin Ye thought to himself, "It's one thing for other ghosts to say this, but for a ghost like Gastly who aspires to be a ruthless bandit, it's just not right!"
Faced with Gastly's open mockery, the scabbards unusually did not retaliate. They stood silently in place, lost in thought.
Lin Ye had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that nothing had happened, but suddenly he saw a green blade of light reflecting the cold moonlight slash out from the dense canopy of the tree on the earthen platform's tortoise shell and shoot toward the twin sword sheaths!
"A sneak attack... no, with the Earth-Turtle's overwhelming power against the dual-scabbards, there was no need for this!"
In the blink of an eye, Lin Ye's twin sword sheaths reacted swiftly.
With a single sword strike, the incoming emerald light was deflected, and a sharp, long leaf was severed in two and fell to the ground.
The other sword was pointed directly at the old tree on the turtle's back of the earthen platform, its gaze wary and its tone angry:
"Who launched the sneak attack? Show yourself!"
"Gurgle~~"
A sound like an owl's call rang out, followed by the sparse trembling of the tree canopy on the earthen platform turtle's back. A bird spread its wings and flew out of the canopy, but it was not the usual cooing bird!
However, this bird looks very much like an owl, but its overall color is mainly white and green.
Its body is covered in dark green feathers in the middle, and the green part in front looks like its bow tie. Above its eyes, which are squinted into two slits, are two very thick feathers.
"Feathered Owl!"
