The Missing Sneasel
A moment later,
The roar ceased, the smoke gradually dissipated, and the entire surface of the ice seemed to return to its usual calm.
But... The two Sneasels who had escaped from the sky were lying at the edge of the collapsed ice.
Weavile!
Upon seeing this scene, Weavile didn't bother to fight with Blaziken, attempting to launch a final counterattack.
Its eyes froze, and it rushed toward the two Sneasels at lightning speed, looking down, only to see a bottomless black pit.
Blaziken!
Seeing this, Blaziken leaped to Weavile's side and also looked down.
Bruce quickly walked over, took a look, and furrowed his brow slightly.
His earlier conclusion was actually correct, because there isn't a thick layer of ice below the surface of the water.
Beneath this ice surface, there is a bottomless pit!
"There's only a thin layer of ice, no wonder it was impacted and collapsed directly..." Bruce thought to himself.
Thus, the three Sneasels were very unlucky to be standing on such a frozen surface.
If the other two Sneasels had reacted more slowly, they too could have fallen into the pit.
Sneasel, Sneasel!
Weavile and the two Sneasels shouted one after another, but there was no response for a long time.
The pit had no bottom, considering Sneasel's small body, if it fell, it would probably go into a coma directly. A Contest Condition.
Weavile's eyes were solemn, and the two Sneasels looked anxious, lost for a moment.
Bruce thought for a while, then took a lantern out of his hiking bag, turned on the button, and the bright light illuminated the pit.
"No, it's too deep here."
A moment later, Bruce shook his head slightly.
This lantern belongs to the specially manufactured upgraded version by the Alliance, the light is so strong that it can even penetrate the wind and snow directly.
But this pit is so deep that the light from the lantern can't reach the bottom.
At the same time,
Weavile suddenly stood up, raised its head to the sky, and howled, releasing a hurried growl with an unknown meaning.
The sound spread in all directions and was extremely penetrating, able to be heard even from afar.
Not far away,
A Weavile was fiercely fighting a Pokemon from Mariana, suddenly its ears moved and it turned to look in the direction of the sound.
Weavile!
It stopped and its expression changed.
Weavile, Weavile!
Immediately, under Mariana's astonished gaze, Weavile led the Sneasels directly away from this place and ran into the distance.
"This..."
"What happened?"
Mariana watched as their figures gradually disappeared, narrowing her eyes slightly and secretly guessing.
But that's fine, without the obstruction from Weavile, she could pass through here without trouble.
"It looks like I'm lucky today."
The weather was good, and Weavile, who had blocked the way, suddenly left, everything seemed to indicate good luck today.
Mariana thought happily and signaled her Pokemon to leave the area.
After Weavile let out a growl, it stopped and lay back at the edge of the pit again, looking down.
"Alright..."
Bruce stood there thinking for a moment and finally decided to help the unfortunate Sneasel that fell into the pit.
He closed his eyes slightly and a wave of psychic energy radiated from his body, quickly spreading toward the pit.
This is one of the applications of Psychic, which can detect the environment.
Weavile...
Weavile felt this terrifying energy and glanced sideways at Weavile beside him, showing horror.
Is this a human or a Pokemon?
The invisible psychic wave quickly descended and soon went down more than ten meters.
"Ice on both sides."
Feeling the feedback from the psychic wave, Bruce murmured quietly.
Thoughts flashed, he controlled the psychic power wave to descend again, and quickly descended more than 30 meters, but still hadn't touched the ground, it seemed the depth of the pit was greater than that.
Upon seeing this, Bruce furrowed his brow slightly.
With his current psychic level, he could descend to a depth of about 50 meters at most.
After all, psychic power is not the real wave-guiding ability, which is the true environment-detecting ability.
There is an essential difference between the detection range and the influence range. Through experiments, if Bruce exerts his full strength, Psychic can affect everything within a range of hundreds of meters.
A detectable environment requires delicate control, like a gentle breeze that doesn't affect the thing itself.
Using Psychic to attack, etc., is like a strong wind sweeping the entire field, which is simpler and rougher.
The psychic wave reached a depth of about 50 meters, but still couldn't touch the ground.
"Call."
Bruce let out a long sigh, withdrew the psychic energy, and opened his eyes.
"It's a bit complicated," he furrowed his brow and said softly.
If the hole weren't so deep, Blaziken could easily jump.
But after some exploration, the depth of this pit is over 50 meters. It would be very dangerous for Blaziken to jump from that height.
Secondly, the pit is completely dark, and it's unknown if there is any danger in it, so it's not easy to take risks.
It's fine to save Sneasel, but only if you stay safe.
Therefore, although Metagross was eager to try, Bruce didn't let it go yet.
Just when Bruce was thinking, several figures ran toward him from afar.
In no time, several Weaviles and Sneasels arrived near the pit.
"Really a tribe," Bruce whispered, looking at Weavile and Sneasel in front of him.
This Weavile group should be the largest evil force in the Taku Glacier.
-! Weavile, Weavile!
Weavile, who had been fighting Blaziken, stepped forward, waving its limbs enthusiastically and seemed to be talking to the Weavile that was approaching.
Through Gardevoir's translation, Bruce learned that Weavile told the newcomers what happened here.
Afterward, after a brief discussion, the group of Weaviles decided to initiate a rescue operation.
The first Weavile looked down at the pit, let out a deep sigh, and immediately jumped!
Under Bruce's watch, this Weavile didn't just jump; it grabbed the ice layer at the edge of the hole with its sharp claws and its feet hung in the air.
The second Weavile didn't hesitate, mimicked the first, and jumped decisively. During the fall, it had a quick view and agile hands, grabbing the feet of the first Weavile with its claws, and didn't fall.
"What's this..."
Bruce stood still looking ahead for a while, his heart shook a little, and he understood their intentions.
This was an attempt to descend to the bottom by forming a ladder.
Just as Bruce guessed, the Weaviles jumped one by one, their claws firmly grabbing the feet of the one before.
Soon, the six Weaviles that arrived jumped, each grabbing the other.
The first Weavile held the ice tightly with its claws. As it was the most critical, it bore the greatest pressure.
The weight of the five Weaviles below was under pressure. They were bearing an unimaginable force, their thin arms trembled slightly, and their claws oozed blood that flowed along the ice layer.
Weavile!
It let out a quick growl, urging the remaining friends to jump quickly.
"Let me do it."
Seeing this scene, Bruce seemed calm and spoke in a deep voice.
If the first Weavile lost its strength and couldn't hold on, the matter wouldn't be as simple as twisting and falling.
Moreover, although Weavile blocked the path, it had no malice towards Bruce himself, and the scene in front of him... was a bit miserable.
"Metagross, let's go down together."
After saying this, Bruce glanced sideways at Metagross hovering in the air and said.
Metagross!
Metagross looked coldly and slowly landed on the ground.
Bruce gently jumped onto Metagross's back, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and looked down at the pit with penetrating eyes.
Gardevoir looked at Bruce with her red and crystal-clear pupils, indicating that he could also descend.
After thinking for a while, Bruce nodded slightly.
Gardevoir can use Psychic to descend slowly, and there is mutual support between Bruce and Gardevoir.
"Blaziken, return first."
In contrast, the older team member is not very effective at this moment, it's impossible to jump directly into the risk of unknown dangers.
But in the pits, Blaziken works better.
The reason Bruce and Pokemon decided to go down with Pokemon is naturally because of his psychic level. If they are in danger, they can teleport directly back to the ground.
He stood firmly on Metagross's back, and Gardevoir floated to the side with Confusion, descending slowly into the pit.
"Are Weavile?"
All the Weaviles were stunned as they watched Bruce and his Pokemon's movements.
There was silence in the pit, and the further they descended, the dimmer the light and the blurrier the view.
Standing on Metagross's back, Bruce uses Psychic to detect the surrounding environment, always alert for unknown threats.
Ten meters... twenty meters... fifty meters...
Finally, after descending to the position of 60 meters, the Weaviles above had already turned into small black shadows, and Bruce and the others reached the bottom.
Bruce didn't rush to jump, but first carefully detected the surrounding environment, and then jumped to the ground after noticing there was no danger.
He turned on the lantern and the strong light shone on the ground.
This was ordinary earth.
Then, he illuminated the surroundings with the lantern and saw a thick layer of ice and a dark, bottomless path.
The question is, where did the Sneasels go?
Bruce carefully looked around but didn't see Sneasel.
"If it fell directly, it surely fell nearby."
Thinking this, Bruce stared at the dark path in front of him, his thoughts speeding up slightly.
