The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 168 Thick Bone Rod

"Shadow Bone!"

This is a Ghost-type move, a signature move of Alolan Marowak.

Although it dimmed considerably after defeating Gengar and Sword & Shield's attacks, it still continued to approach Lin Ye with its remaining power.

Although Gengar's Special Attack and Aegislash's Sword Mode stats are both very high, their Energy Level is significantly lower than Marowak's.

Most importantly, Marowak has its own exclusive item, the "Rough Bone Club," which doubles its attack power.

Therefore, even though the two "Gym Leader-level" beings, who were already extremely good at offense, joined forces to resist this attack, it was still smashed by the bone club.

Fortunately, the power of "Shadow Bone" was greatly reduced after it destroyed "Sludge Bomb" and "Shadow Claw", and the dark light around it dimmed by more than half.

Under Lin Yemo's command, the other Pokémon also displayed their unique abilities. Zoroark, the fox spirit, unleashed "An eye for an eye," while Rockruff gathered "Dark Pulse" in retaliation, and Grimmsnarl raised its head and launched a "Water Cannon"—a devastating attack!

The Shadow Bone Staff finally exhausted itself under the continuous barrage of seven attacks, spinning and flying backward.

Crackle extended its right claw and caught it steadily. The eyes under the bone helmet flickered, revealing a hint of surprise.

But it didn't stop. With a sudden burst of speed, it transformed into a shadow and charged forward, its bone club sweeping horizontally at close range, its blade aimed directly at Gengar.

The latter was a huge, bloated guy, so how could he dare to fight Galagal in close combat? He immediately turned into a shadow and fled backward.

Marowak opened its mouth and spewed out a pillar of fire, but it was easily neutralized by the "Shadow Ball" that Gengar had created.

After all, while Marowak has a level advantage, it is not good at special attacks, and the "Stick" item can only boost physical attack.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Shield Sword Monster, in its sword form, was filled with an incomparably sharp aura. Dark light condensed on the blade into a dazzling black beam, and it slashed at Crawling Crawling's right shoulder.

Marowak parried with its "Rough Bone Club," and the moment the sword clashed with the bone, a terrifying energy shockwave exploded. However, Marowak was forced to bend one knee slightly by the impact of the sword, and Aegislash was even thrown backward by the recoil.

The next instant, before Marowak could get up and gather its strength, Blademaster and Mimikyu appeared on either side of it. "Regret Sword" came down on its head, but Marowak dodged it by sidestepping. However, the next moment it was grabbed by Mimikyu's "Shadow Claw", and the other Pokémon took the opportunity to rush forward.

Crackle swung his "thick bone club" to block the attacks, but he was clearly at a disadvantage in the encirclement.

Its energy level is close to the peak of "Gym Leader level", and with the doubled physical attack of "Rough Bone Club", every attack carries terrifying power.

Aside from Gengar and Aegislash, any other Pokémon that gets even a slight scratch could be instantly KO'd.

However, they had no intention of confronting it head-on. When the Aegislash switched to its "King's Shield" form to restrain it, they stayed out of the way, restraining and consuming its stamina.

Gara Gara also sensed something was wrong, so it stomped its feet on the ground, and a raging fire suddenly ignited on its body. Then, like a meteor, it charged towards the Shield Sword Monster.

With the added speed from the flames, Aegislash only had time to conjure a small Shadow Ball to counter before Marowak was already upon it.

The hastily formed "Shadow Ball" slammed into Crawling's body and was instantly vaporized by the flames. The latter only swayed slightly before crashing into Crawling, sending the heavy steel body of Aegislash flying and embedding itself heavily in the mountain rock.

"Flash Charge!" This is a skill that comes with a recoil effect.

However, Marowak was only bounced back a few steps by the impact, and did not seem to be injured at all. It seems that its characteristic is indeed "Hard Head".

Although "Solid Head" was spared the damage from "Flame Blitz," it couldn't stop other Pokémon from taking the opportunity to attack.

After Marowak knocked Aegislash away, it was immediately surrounded by other Pokémon, including Gengar's Shadow Ball, which hit it one after another.

With a mournful howl, its aura plummeted, yet it still forcibly circulated its energy, swinging the "Thick Bone Club" like the wind, then suddenly threw it away, using "Shadow Bone" once more.

This time, "Shadow Bone" did not attack in a straight line. Instead, under the skillful control of Clarice, it transformed into a satellite and rapidly circled around the body, forming a halo, which can be described as a combination of offense and defense.

Galagal firmly believes that although it is now seriously injured, as long as it has its exclusive item "Rough Bone Club" and the Shield Sword Monster is unable to provide support for the time being, it will definitely be able to turn the tide and win.

But what Galagal didn't know was that Lin Ye's biggest trump card wasn't the Aegislash, but himself.

The next moment, the latter's eyes narrowed, and his right hand suddenly shot out, with deep indigo necromantic power surging from his palm, precisely wrapping around the rapidly spinning bone club.

Under Lin Ye's control of the Soul-Capturing Technique, the "Rough Bone Club" broke free from Crackling's control for the first time in its life, trembling violently and emitting a piercing "hissing" sound.

Lin Ye, now a great magician, continuously channeled his magic power from his palm. With the other Pokémon interfering with Marowak's energy, he actually managed to grab the "Rough Bone Club" item that was burning with eerie green flames.

Without any command, Gengar was the first to charge forward, its eyes burning with the pleasure of revenge. It clasped its claws together and created a "Shadow Ball" that was a size larger than before, and slammed it down on the unarmed Marowak.

Gala Gala had no choice but to take the hit with his bare hands. Although he managed to parry, he was still shaken back several steps, even more so than with the "thick bone club".

Shi Ke was in a terrible state.

Before he could even regain his footing, Azure Flame Blade Demon and Mimikyu simultaneously unleashed a "Shadow Claw" at his legs, causing the already weak-kneed Kara Kara to kneel down.

The sniper bird "Shadow Shot" fired three arrows in quick succession, pinning the tree owl to its left leg, torso, and neck, respectively, firmly fixing it in place.

Immediately afterwards, Froslass's "Shadow Ball," Zoroark's "Revenge," and Grimstone's "Dark Pulse" all came crashing down at once, leaving Marowak unable to even howl in pain. Finally, it was blasted away by Grimtar's "Water Cannon," crashing heavily into the cave wall. After struggling for a few moments, it rolled its eyes back and collapsed completely.

Having caught such a large fish, it was clear that there was a high chance that another "Gym Leader" would emerge from among them. All the Pokémon turned around and looked at Lin Ye with delight.

But the latter remained unmoved, staring with a complicated expression at the "thick bone club" that had been snatched from his hand!
