Chapter 152 Misjudgment

The violent electric current raged across the plant monster, causing the vines and roots to twitch and become paralyzed under the high voltage. The cuticle on their surface turned black, and their wriggling and attacking movements became noticeably stiff and sluggish!

"Riolu!"

Lin Dao's voice resounded directly in Riolu's mind through the waveguide. At the same time, his fully activated waveguide perception was like the most precise radar, instantly penetrating the electrical interference and the layers of vines, accurately locking onto the core of the plant monster, that tiny figure curled up, emitting a soft green light and time fluctuations!

Lin Dao transmitted this crystal-clear location information, along with his determination, to Riolu: "Go all out!"

Close-quarters combat target, core protective layer!

"Leo!!!"

Riolu's eyes flashed with a sharp light! It raised its head and let out a long howl, and the pale red vortex around its body suddenly contracted and merged into its body.

The next moment, it vanished!

No, it didn't disappear, it just went too fast!

A blue afterimage streaked through the air at near-instantaneous speed, leaving only a faint silhouette in its wake.

With its sword dance power enhanced to the extreme, Riolu concentrated all its strength into this decisive blow.

It instantly traversed the distance of tens of meters between itself and the plant monster, appearing directly in front of the monster, which was paralyzed and stiffened by Pikachu's attack, with its core slightly exposed.

Without any fancy moves, its fists, feet, and even elbows and knees were instantly enveloped by fierce fighting energy. Its entire body seemed to transform into a human weapon, slamming into the most vulnerable and deepest area of ​​the giant vine that had been bombarded by 100,000 volts, following the trajectory marked by the forest path waveguide!

"Bang bang bang bang bang!!!"

A series of rapid explosions, as dense as raindrops on banana leaves and as heavy as a battering ram, rang out!

Riolu unleashed all the power it had gained from its enhanced Swords Dance into a furious barrage of attacks in close combat!

Punches, kicks, elbows, knees—each attack precisely struck the weakest point in the vine structure. Under such dense and powerful blows, the charred vines broke, crumbled, and disintegrated inch by inch!

A gap was blasted open and expanded at an astonishing speed! Broken vine fragments mixed with charred debris flew everywhere, revealing a finer, darker layer of dark green vines inside.

"Not enough! Continue!"

Lin Dao could see clearly that deep within the gap, the emerald green light spot was still protected by layers of protection.

Riolu roared and continued its relentless, even more ferocious, as it relentlessly chiseled deeper into the gap!

at last!

"With a hiss, the innermost layer of tough vine membrane was torn apart, and a warm, vibrant emerald green light shone through it!"

In the light, a small, green figure with an onion-shaped dome could be vaguely seen curled up, sleeping peacefully.

The shaman's true form is right before my eyes!

"Now!"

Without hesitation, Lin Dao strode forward and rushed to the edge of the gap.

He ignored the twitching, struggling remnants of vines around him, focusing all his spirit and will on his hands.

The azure waveguide light was brighter than ever before, like two gentle yet resolute blue flames burning fiercely in his palm.

He slowly extended his hands toward the center of the emerald green light, toward the sleeping Shirabbi, and murmured, his voice seemingly carrying a resonance that reached straight to the soul.

"The power of waveguides resides within my heart."

hum! !

A pure and warm azure wavelight, like a stream that has found its home, surged from Lin Dao's body and finally converged in his palms, transforming into two condensed beams of light that gently yet firmly enveloped the sleeping Shirabi.

This light carried Lin Dao's consciousness, his goodwill, his pure desire to communicate, to help, and to awaken the other person, and even more so, the high-quality life source energy he possessed as an awakened being.

The moment the beam of light touched the shirabbi's body, Lin Dao trembled violently!

He felt as if he had plunged his hand into a bottomless, cold, and thirsty abyss!

The shurabi's body, or rather the energy of the laws necessary for its existence, began to frantically absorb the waveguide power poured in from the forest, like a giant black hole!

This is not an attack, but an instinctive, greedy replenishment.

The rabbi fell into a deep sleep due to the incompleteness of the world's laws, and maintaining its own existence and anchoring to the laws consumed too much of its essence.

The waveguide energy of the forest, as one of the purest forms of life and spiritual energy, is precisely the "nourishment" it needs most at this moment.

"Uh—"

Lin Dao let out a muffled groan.

He could clearly feel the wave power within his body gushing out like a flood bursting its banks, at an astonishing speed.

This consumption far exceeded his expectations! According to the scan and suggestions of Arceus's phone, he originally thought that waking up Rabi would require a lot of energy, but it should be within his tolerance range. After all, his waveguide power had been tempered and nurtured by the gene wedge many times, and it was already quite profound.

However, he was wrong.

He underestimated Celebi, a legendary Pokémon that deals with time and life, whose life essence is on a much higher level.

Even if it's just to fill the fundamental deficit caused by the rejection of the laws, the total amount of energy required far exceeds the limit that a human waveguide can withstand!

Even though Lin Dao's wave-guiding power was far stronger than that of others at the same stage due to multiple encounters and the harmonization of the gene wedge, it was like pouring a bucket of water into a dry, bottomless abyss, and it was gone in the blink of an eye.

The once abundant flow of wave power quickly became thin and intermittent. But his hands remained steadily outstretched forward, and although the blue light had dimmed, it stubbornly refused to cease.

Don't stop! If you stop, all your efforts will be in vain! Celebi had just shown a slight sign of awakening, and extremely faint, dreamlike fluctuations came from his sea of ​​consciousness.

Lin Dao gritted his teeth, squeezing out every last bit of hidden waveguide energy within his body, and even began to touch the most basic energy needed to sustain life.

His face paled visibly, fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his outstretched arm began to tremble slightly.

"Pikachu! Pikachu!"

Pikachu, who had just caught its breath, was anxiously pacing around when it saw Lin Dao's condition, but dared not interrupt this obviously crucial energy transfer.

"Leo!"

Riolu was even more anxious, as it could clearly sense the rapid weakening of the forest waveguide and the fluctuations in the life force.

It tried to get closer, hoping to transfer its waveguide to share the burden, but its waveguide was far too weak compared to what Lindao and Shirabi needed. As soon as it touched the energy transmission field, it was bounced away and could not integrate at all.

Just then, the "Gene Wedge," which had been quietly floating inside Lin Dao's clothes, seemed to sense the crisis in its host's life and its unwavering will, and suddenly began to emit light!

This light does not directly participate in energy transmission, but rather acts as a stable anchor point, a powerful barrier of "harmony" and "protection," gently enveloping Lin Dao's body.
