# Chapter 111: Chikorita's Great Contribution
This Mismagius looked truly formidable, so Bai Feng didn't dare to act rashly. Seeing more and more Mystical Fire appearing around its body, Bai Feng had no choice but to say:
"Alright, alright, we're leaving. Calm down, calm down."
Saying this, Bai Feng began to retreat.
In a way, this Mismagius was quite considerate. As soon as Bai Feng and the others retreated two steps, a black vortex appeared behind them.
By the time Bai Feng and the others stepped into the black vortex and emerged, they were already outside the Supply Station.
The Supply Station now looked completely different from before, entirely shrouded in darkness, as if it were in another dimensional space.
But Bai Feng knew that was just an illusion created by the Mismagius. As long as they stepped into the Supply Station, they would unconsciously fall into the illusion space.
Judging from the Mismagius's reaction, they seemed to have a grudge against the people in the Supply Station. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been willing to let Bai Feng and the others go rather than release the people from the Supply Station.
Moreover, before Bai Feng and the others discovered the abnormality of the Supply Station, the Ghost-type Pokémon didn't seem to intend to make things difficult for them. They just wanted to control the people in the Supply Station and quickly send Bai Feng and the others away.
It was only Bai Ye's shout that startled the Ghost-type Pokémon and made them wary.
For a moment, Bai Feng couldn't tell if this group of Ghost-type Pokémon was good or evil.
Looking at the Supply Station shrouded in darkness, Bai Feng said to Bai Ye and the others, "How about we look around and see if we can find out anything?"
Just leaving like this felt a bit wrong to Bai Feng, so he decided to first find out what exactly happened in the Supply Station.
"Shaana~"
"Xilai~"
"Aibo~"
...
The Pokémon nodded one after another. If the problem could be solved without fighting, that would be best. Besides, they seemed... possibly... maybe... unable to defeat the Mismagius.
Although there were no other humans living on this Island besides the Supply Station, there were still many, many Pokémon! Sometimes, getting information from Pokémon was easier than finding humans.
Bai Feng and his Pokémon split up to gather information around the Supply Station, but when the wild Pokémon mentioned the Ghost-type Pokémon inside the Supply Station, they all became tight-lipped.
They said the Ghost-type Pokémon there were too terrifying, and they didn't even dare to get close, let alone gather information.
According to the descriptions of some informed Pokémon, those Ghost-type Pokémon appeared on this Island about half a month ago. Not long after they appeared, the Supply Station became abnormal.
It was only because few people came to this Island that no one had discovered the strangeness here.
Just as Bai Feng and the others were at a loss, a Chatot appeared on a treetop not far from them.
"Quack~ Quack~ Quack~" Hello!
Bai Feng and the others, who were deep in thought, were startled by the sudden appearance of the Chatot.
"Hello," Bai Feng replied.
"Quack~ Quack~ Quack~" Are you trying to find out about those Ghost-type Pokémon? If I give you information, can you give me all the Berries?
When Bai Feng and the others were asking wild Pokémon for information, they used Berries as payment, and the Chatot had seen all of this.
"Really? You really know?" Bai Feng asked in surprise.
"Quack~ Quack~" Of course, of course!
"As long as you tell us, all these Berries are yours!" Bai Feng took out a pile of Berries from his space backpack and said to the Chatot.
As soon as the Chatot saw the Berries, its eyes almost lit up. It flapped its wings and came down from the treetop, picked up a relatively small Berry, crunched it twice, ate it, and then exclaimed loudly:
"Quack~ Quack~" So delicious! So delicious!
After finishing its exclamation, the Chatot asked Bai Feng to help it put the Berries away first, then flapped its wings and flew up, waving its wings at Bai Feng and the others:
"Quack~ Quack~" Follow me! Follow me!
Bai Feng and the others quickened their pace to follow the Chatot. Soon, a Road appeared before them. They walked straight along the Road. After walking for an unknown amount of time, a Fork in the Road appeared before them.
The Chatot flew towards the direction of the Fork in the Road, constantly urging Bai Feng and the others.
"Quack~ Quack~" Faster! Faster!
Bai Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "How... how much further?"
"Quack~ Quack~" Almost there, almost there.
Alright, Bai Feng took out a water bottle from his space backpack, took a big gulp of water, and continued walking forward. This water bottle was prepared for him by Brother Dong Yu. Bai Feng himself would never have thought of bringing this; he was truly considerate.
Turning into the Fork in the Road, Bai Feng and the others entered a forest. After walking for an unknown amount of time again, a white building appeared before them.
However, the area around the building was eerie. Not only was there not a single person to be seen, but vines were also crawling everywhere.
"What is this place?" Bai Feng inquired.
"Quack~ Quack~" Research Institute, Research Institute.
"Research Institute?"
Bai Feng was full of doubts. He walked step by step towards the white building. When he reached the entrance, he pressed a button by the door. With a "click," the main door opened.
Hmm? That easy? A place as important as a research institute shouldn't be entered so casually, right?
Even though the main door was open, no one came out of the building that the Chatot called a Research Institute. The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet.
Feeling doubtful, Bai Feng took Bai Ye and stepped inside. But as soon as he entered, a Shadow Ball came flying towards him.
Bai Ye flashed forward, controlled the Shadow Ball with Psychic Energy, and threw it back forcefully. A Gastly screamed and fell to the ground.
Another Ghost-type Pokémon!
When Bai Feng asked the Chatot why there were also Ghost-type Pokémon in the Research Institute, the Chatot replied that the Research Institute, like the Supply Station, had long been occupied by Ghost-type Pokémon.
The answers Bai Feng sought could be found in the Research Institute.
Having no other choice, Bai Feng and Bai Ye continued to walk inside. Along the way, they encountered more and more Ghost-type Pokémon. At the same time, they gradually encountered some of the Research Institute's staff.
However, these people, like those in the Supply Station, had all been controlled by the Ghost-type Pokémon.
Fortunately, there was no Pokémon as strong as the Mismagius in the Research Institute, otherwise, Bai Feng and the others would have been instantly defeated.
Gradually reaching the depths of the Research Institute, Bai Feng seemed to figure out the nature of this research institute. Their research projects should be related to weather.
But soon, he stopped thinking that way.
Walking further into the depths of the Research Institute, guided by the Chatot's reminder, Bai Feng found a secret door. It seemed to hide a secret inside.
Bai Feng looked at the Chatot doubtfully. "How do you know so much? You're not working with the Ghost-type Pokémon, are you?"
"Quack~ Quack~" No, no.
Hearing this, the Chatot quickly shook its head in denial.
Then it must be related to the Research Institute! Bai Feng thought silently.
After entering the secret door, what appeared before Bai Feng and Bai Ye was a long white corridor. As soon as he entered, the lights on the corridor ceiling all flickered on.
Perhaps because it was too bright here, Bai Feng walked all the way without being attacked by Ghost-type Pokémon.
Passing through the white corridor, another door appeared before Bai Feng. This door was automatic; it opened automatically as soon as Bai Feng and Bai Ye approached.
The moment the door opened, pairs of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up inside the room, all staring intently at Bai Feng and Bai Ye, giving the mother and son quite a fright.
Some of these eyes belonged to Ghost-type Pokémon, while others did not. The Ghost-type Pokémon floated freely in the room, while the non-Ghost-type Pokémon were all confined in iron cages.
The Pokémon in the iron cages were in a very abnormal state. They looked extremely agitated and were constantly attacking the iron cages, letting out roars and groans.
And the Ghost-type Pokémon seemed to be guarding them.
However... the state of these Pokémon looked so familiar? Bai Feng couldn't help but think of the Excadrill that attacked Uncle Luobu's Ranch, and the Coalossal and Steelix that caused significant casualties in Biyi City.
So similar!
After discovering the arrival of outsiders, the guarding Ghost-type Pokémon immediately surrounded Bai Feng and Bai Ye. However, their strength was too weak, and they were quickly defeated by Bai Ye, who had established a Psychic Energy link with Bai Feng.
Bai Feng walked into the room and circled around. He found a computer here. From the information recorded on it, he finally found the secret of this research institute.
This was originally indeed a weather research institute, and it was officially set up here to provide assistance to passing ships.
Probably because of the hidden location, half a year ago, a group of people quietly occupied this place and transformed it into a Dark Experiment Base.
Under the threat of this group, the original staff of the Research Institute gradually colluded with them, eventually participating in dark research with them and providing cover for their experiments.
They had been researching a medicine that could stimulate the most primitive wild nature within Pokémon, greatly increasing their strength.
But this medicine also had a negative effect: after being injected, the Pokémon's mindset would be greatly affected, and most would fall into a frenzy.
Only a small number of Pokémon with exceptional talent, after being injected with the medicine, not only didn't lose their minds but also became fierce and powerful.
Their purpose was to find more such Pokémon.
The Pokémon Bai Feng saw confined in the cages were the products of this group's experiments, and they were all failures.
The staff members Bai Feng saw controlled by the Ghost-type Pokémon earlier were all participants in the dark experiment.
From the information on the computer, the organization that established this dark research institute was called "New Life." However, besides the name, Bai Feng didn't find any other information related to this organization.
After browsing the information, Bai Feng looked at the Chatot and asked, "Didn't you say there were answers here? So why did the Ghost-type Pokémon occupy this place? And why did they control the people in the Supply Station?"
Could it be that the Ghost-type Pokémon discovered what was happening here and decided to act righteously?
"Quack~ Quack~" Come here, come here.
The Chatot again beckoned Bai Feng to follow it.
The Chatot found a hidden mechanism on a wall. After pressing the button, another secret door appeared before Bai Feng.
Bai Feng walked into the secret door and found an empty room inside. Only a transparent light shield stood in the center of the room, and inside the light shield was a small Misdreavus flailing wildly.
This Misdreavus was in the same state as the Pokémon in the cages outside, but since it was confined alone here, it meant its identity was very different.
Misdreavus... Mismagius...
Bai Feng would be damned if he didn't believe there was a bond between these two.
So, did the people from the Research Institute capture the small Misdreavus for experiments, and then face retaliation from the Mismagius? Bai Feng made a theory in his heart.
"Is this the answer you were talking about?" Bai Feng asked.
"Quack~ Quack~ Quack~" As long as you can make it clear-headed again, all your doubts can be answered.
The Chatot nodded and said.
"Make it clear-headed? How can I do that? If it were that easy, they wouldn't have been researching for so long!" Bai Feng said with a speechless expression.
Hearing this, the Chatot stopped talking, tucked its wings, and perched on Bai Feng's shoulder, beginning to preen its feathers nonchalantly.
Bai Feng stared at the small Misdreavus, frowning constantly. What should he do about this?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him. He took out a Poké Ball and released Chikorita.
"Chiko~ Chiko~"
As soon as Chikorita came out, it bounced and jumped affectionately towards Bai Feng, constantly rubbing its head against Bai Feng's calf.
"Chikorita, can you give me one of your leaves?" Bai Feng asked.
"Chiko~ Chiko~" Of course!
Saying that, Chikorita began to shake its head rapidly, like an electric fan. After a while, with a "snap," the leaf on top of its head detached.
Perhaps it shook too hard, because after the leaf fell off, Chikorita sat down on the ground with a thud, its head spinning, and its eyes turned into swirls.
Bai Feng squatted down and patted its head. "You worked hard!"
"Chiko~ Chiko~"
Chikorita scrambled up, happily rubbing the top of its head against Bai Feng's palm.
"Mother, I'll release the Misdreavus in a moment, and you help me restrain it," Bai Feng said to Bai Ye after standing up.
"Shaana~ Shaana~" Leave it to me!
Bai Ye confidently guaranteed. Since they couldn't defeat the Mismagius, they might as well find some confidence from the small Misdreavus.
How sad.
Bai Feng fumbled around the transparent light shield for a while before finally opening it.
The moment the light shield opened, the small Misdreavus rushed towards Bai Feng with a fierce expression, but in the next second, it was pressed to the ground by Bai Ye using Psychic Energy.
"Muma~ Muma~"
The Misdreavus struggled constantly, but with its limited strength, how could it break free from Bai Ye's Psychic Energy restraint?
Bai Feng crushed the leaf he held in his hand. Immediately, a refreshing aroma spread throughout the room. Even the Chatot, which was preening its feathers, couldn't help but take two deep breaths.
So fragrant!
Bai Feng fed the leaf along with its juice into the Misdreavus's mouth, then quietly observed its condition.
As time passed, the Misdreavus's struggles became weaker and weaker, and the look of madness on its face gradually disappeared.
It really worked!
Bai Feng was overjoyed. He had only intended to try, but he didn't expect it to actually work!
About ten minutes later, all the madness in the small Misdreavus's eyes completely disappeared, and its eyes became clear again. It looked at Bai Feng and the others blankly, as if asking:
What happened?
