Chapter 440 Qibana: What do you mean by saying that the plan to destroy Galar was devised by Chairman Loz?!
February 14th, 226th year of the League Calendar.
This day should have been a day filled with romance in the Galar region.
However, in Motogakushi, a completely different kind of unrest is spreading.
Initially, the unusual vibrations coming from the direction of the Quan Guan underground energy plant, located on the edge of the city and close to the vast open fields, did not attract much attention from the citizens.
But soon, the anomaly became impossible to ignore.
First, the sky.
Above the factory, the gray winter sky was suddenly tinged with an eerie crimson hue.
In the area shrouded by these crimson clouds, the light quickly dimmed and distorted, as if dusk had arrived hours early, yet it carried a chilling hue.
Such a terrifying celestial anomaly is bound to attract attention.
The local television news channel in Motogakure quickly switched the camera's view as a helicopter braved increasingly turbulent air currents to take off, aiming its lens at the ever-expanding core of "Dark Night."
On the streets and alleys, pedestrians stopped and looked up at the sky, their faces filled with astonishment, doubt, and growing panic.
Countless citizens instinctively took out their phones and recorded this incomprehensible scene in the sky.
In the current era of social media popularity, many people have started live streaming, broadcasting this historic moment to netizens around the world in real time.
Among all the related live streams, the one with the most viewers and the highest level of attention is undoubtedly the live stream of Kibana, the gym leader of the Punch Gate Arena, who is also one of the most popular trainers and internet celebrities in the Galar region.
In mid-air, Chibana was riding his Desert Dragonfly at an extremely fast speed toward the underground energy plant of the Fist Gate.
A strong wind blew his long, intricately braided hair back, revealing a face etched with solemnity and determination.
Unlike his usual live streams where he would joke around with the audience, his eyes, which always held a carefree smile, were now fixed on the approaching crimson sky.
The Rotom, a specially made mobile phone hanging around the neck of a desert dragonfly, faithfully pointed its lens at the apocalyptic scene ahead, also capturing the serious profile of Chibana.
Qibana started this live stream not for traffic or to gain attention.
As a beloved gym leader, he understands better than anyone his responsibility—to protect the city of Hammerlocke.
The current situation has clearly gone beyond the scope of ordinary disasters or accidents.
The eerie energy that filled the sky and the increasingly oppressive feeling in the air all pointed to a disturbing conclusion.
A massive crisis, capable of threatening the safety of the entire city and even the region, is brewing.
He must go to the scene in person, find out the truth, and broadcast the incident live so that all the citizens and trainers who are concerned about it can understand what is happening.
On the dragon's back, Chibana looked solemn, while using another cell phone to dial Loz's number.
However, the only response was a busy signal.
Kibana frowned and muttered to himself, "What's going on? Dan isn't answering his phone, and we can't get in touch with Chairman Rose either..."
Meanwhile, Qibana's live stream room was already overwhelmed by netizens who had rushed over after hearing the news, with the barrage of comments scrolling by.
[What's going on? What's going on? Something big is about to happen?]
I'm not sure, but judging from the sky, the commotion is definitely going to be huge...
[I knew Xia Chi wouldn't come to the Galar region for no reason; sure enough, something happened!]
[Fun fact: After the fight between Prisoner and Kibana, there's no record of them appearing in public. They probably already suspected something was going to happen in Hammerlocke City.]
[Damn it, based on past experience, any incident involving Xia Chi is usually related to legendary Pokémon, and not just ordinary ones like Zapdos.]
Wait... could it be the one from Galar's local legends?
[Hoenn players, if you don't understand, just ask: Which legend? What Pokémon?]
[He's probably referring to the legend of "Dark Night," which nearly destroyed Galar three thousand years ago, right? Look at the sky, the color of this energy—it's exactly like the dark purple clouds described in ancient texts that devour light!]
[Holy crap! Destroying Galar?! What kind of Pokémon is that powerful? Even those two giants in Hoenn only altered the terrain when they fought, they didn't say they were going to destroy the entire region!]
[I think her name is... Mukyuu Tana?]
[That's intense... can the prison water handle it?]
[Forget about whether they can hold out or not, the fact that both Leon and Guild Master Rose have gone missing is terrifying enough!]
[...]
Not only in the live stream chat, but also in the comments, Qibana thought of Xia Chi.
After failing to contact Lorz, he didn't hesitate to pull up his contacts, find the number saved as "Teacher Xia Chi," and dial it.
"Beep...beep..."
This time, the waiting tone only rang twice.
The call was connected.
"Feed?"
Xia Chi's voice came through the receiver, with the sound of howling wind and faint humming of energy in the background.
Upon hearing that voice, the huge weight that had been hanging over Qibana's heart finally lifted.
He asked eagerly, "Teacher Xia Chi, it's me, Qi Bana. Are you in Quan Guan City right now?"
Xia Chi's answer brought a sense of relief to him and all the viewers in the live broadcast room who were listening to the call.
"I am here, and I am now preparing to enter the energy plant."
Although there were no grand pronouncements, no guarantees or promises, and the tone was so calm that it was as if he were stating a very ordinary fact.
But this simple sentence inexplicably gives people a sense of reassurance.
Kibana breathed a sigh of relief. The Desert Dragonfly beneath him sensed the change in the trainer's mindset and unconsciously reduced its speed slightly, making its flight posture a little more even. Its large wings flapped rhythmically, bringing a more stable airflow.
After his anxiety subsided a little, Cibana's curiosity resurfaced.
"So, Teacher Xia Chi, do you know what exactly happened over there? This sky, this energy... what's going on?"
He asked the question that all the audience members most wanted to know.
Xia Chi remained silent for a moment on the other end of the phone.
The brief silence made Cibana's heart beat even faster.
Then, Xia Chi's voice rang out again.
"I know some of it, but the truth of this matter... may completely shock your understanding, you... be mentally prepared."
Cibana's heart skipped a beat.
He knew Xia Chi wouldn't speak without reason.
What kind of truth is it that requires such words to set the stage?
Although he was a little flustered, he still stubbornly said, "Don't worry, Teacher Xia Chi, I am the gym leader of the Punch Gate Arena and one of the top-ranked trainers in Galar. Whatever the truth is, I can handle it. Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Xia Chi on the other end of the phone then said, "Wuji Tai, who caused the Dark Night three thousand years ago... has awakened."
Cibaner:
66
""
Despite having the worst suspicions in his mind, when Xia Chi so confidently uttered the name of this legendary calamity, Qibana still felt a chill creep into his heart.
My worst fears have come true.
The live stream chat instantly erupted in chaos.
Countless comments flooded the screen, filled with shock and disbelief.
Although there had been speculation, the impact of Xia Chi's personal confirmation was completely different!
However, perhaps as a precaution against Xia Chi's interference, after a brief moment of distraction, Qi Bana forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart.
He forced himself to remain calm and said, "It's alright. If our ancestors were able to defeat it three thousand years ago, we can do the same today. Teacher Xia Chi, let's join forces and never let this disaster happen again!"
Although that "dark night" was ultimately ended by Zacian and Zamazenth.
But when the disaster ended, a large part of the Galar region was devastated.
If a situation of that scale were to occur again... or even only half of it.
These consequences are intolerable.
Fortunately, this is no longer three thousand years ago.
To appease the viewers in the live stream, Qibana confidently stated, "With Teacher Xia Chi here, and Champion Dan and Chairman Rose not standing idly by..."
"The entire plan was orchestrated by Chairman Lotz."
Xia Chi's words interrupted Qi Bana.
Cibaner:
'
'
This time, there was a silence that lasted for more than ten seconds.
Cibana's pupils suddenly contracted.
He simply couldn't imagine what he was hearing.
Loz...the president?
What do you mean by "the entire plan was orchestrated by Chairman Lotz"?!
How is this different from the statement that "the plan to eliminate the Ultra Brothers was devised by Lord Zoffy"?
Loz, president of the Galar Alliance and CEO of the Marocmon Group, the largest conglomerate in Galar.
It is no exaggeration to call him "the helmsman of Galar".
Then you tell me that the captain of the Galar Alliance, this great ship, has decided to ram the ship into an iceberg.
Cibana even doubted whether he had misheard.
Meanwhile, after a long silence of several seconds, the live stream room suddenly exploded with excitement.
Countless question marks and incoherent, shocked comments instantly flooded the entire screen.
【？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？】
What did I just hear?!
[What is the prisoner saying? I can understand each word individually, but I can't understand what it means when put together.]
[Chibana: In the process of rebuilding his values...]
[Don't even mention Qibana! I'm totally ripping my head off! Xia Chi isn't kidding, is he?!]
So... the mastermind behind it all is Roz? The guild mastermind of the Galar Alliance?!
[No... what's the point of all this? He's at the pinnacle of power and wealth in Galar. What good would it do him to destroy Galar?]
[. . .]
.】
At this moment, Qibana, who had recovered slightly, asked in a serious tone, "Teacher Xia Chi, what's this news about you..."
Are you sure?
He is still making a last-ditch effort, hoping that it was all just a misunderstanding.
On the other end of the phone, Xia Chi answered without hesitation: "I'm sure. Senior Brother Dan Di also knows about it. He and Master Ma Shide are currently searching for Cang Xiang's whereabouts."
Cibana was speechless.
No wonder I couldn't get in touch with Emperor Dan just now...
He wasn't undergoing special training; he was working tirelessly to save Galar.
Now, the Galar League champion has gone missing, and the chairman has even directly rebelled.
Xia Chi was the last hope.
A mixture of despair and the pain of betrayal surged within Cibana's chest.
He gritted his teeth, forcing himself to snap out of the shock.
"I see."
Kibana's voice became clear again, "Natsuchi-sensei, is there anything I can do? Please tell me, Hammerlocke City and Galar... can't just be destroyed like this!"
Xia Chi immediately replied, "The most urgent task is to evacuate the people of Motogakure. Loz may have his own 'control' plan, but facing an existence like Mugentsuna, any control carries the risk of failure. Once out of control, the energy eruption and the aftershocks of the battle would be enough to raze the entire city of Motogakure to the ground. Evacuate the people and get them as far away from this area as possible."
Xia Chi's words instantly made Qi Bana realize what he should be doing right now.
Yes, he doesn't have the legendary combat power of Xia Chi, so he can't directly participate in the core battle against Wujitana.
But he is a dojo owner, a trusted figure among trainers and the public in Hammerlocke.
He has influence and organizational skills. All he can do is clear away Xia Chi's worries and preserve as much of the vitality as possible for Quan Guan City!
"I see!"
Cibana nodded emphatically, his voice resolute.
"Leave the evacuation to me. I'll contact the city hall and the alliance's emergency response department immediately. Teacher Xia Chi, front..."
I'm counting on you!
"Um."
Xia Chi responded and then added, "By the way, a girl named Youyi will be here to assist you with the evacuation later. She is capable and trustworthy."
"Okay, I understand!"
Qibana had no doubts and chose to completely trust Xia Chi's arrangements.
The call has ended.
As Cibana slowly put down his phone, the confusion and pain in his eyes were replaced by an iron will.
He took a deep breath, as if exhaling all his negative emotions with that breath.
He gently patted the desert dragonfly's neck, which was covered in fine scales, his voice gentle yet firm: "Desert dragonfly, thank you for your hard work. The live broadcast is temporarily in your hands. Remember, maintain a safe distance and continue to let the outside world know what's going on here from your perspective, but whatever you do, don't go near the core area, understand?"
"Ugh!"
The desert dragonfly turned its head, its huge compound eyes giving its trainer a concerned look. It let out a steady and reliable chirp and nodded vigorously.
It understands that the trainer needs to perform more important tasks.
"Go."
Qibana stood up from the dragon's back. The strong turbulence at high altitude made him sway slightly, but he quickly regained his balance.
Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly took out a Poké Ball from his waist and threw it forcefully into the air beside him.
"Dorambaruto, please!"
"Ruto—!"
A flash of white light appeared, and Dorombaluton's slender body, like a ghostly warship, instantly appeared beside Chibana. Two tiny Dorombesia on its head, unaware of what had happened, excitedly poked their heads out.
Without pausing, Chibana pushed off the back of the desert dragonfly and leaped towards Dorombalut.
Draco caught his trainer precisely and smoothly, landing him steadily on his broad back.
"Desert dragonfly, please take care of this place!"
Cibana turned back for one last look at his loyal companion.
Then he patted Dronbalut beneath him, "Dronbalut, full speed ahead! Heading to the Hammerlocke City League Center, we're racing against time!"
"Ruto!"
A faint purple aura emanated from Dorambaruto's body, followed by an explosion of astonishing energy.
Immediately, it sped off with the Chibana towards the center of the Punch Gate city, which was about to be shrouded in a huge shadow.
