The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 186 is still half a step away

The broken rudder attempted to escape by diving into the sea, but was intercepted by a Darktail Gurako and a Gyarados in the water!

The Dark Tail Fish suddenly swung its body, and violent water elements frantically gathered around it. Taking advantage of the geographical conditions of the ocean, it formed a giant vortex and then manipulated it to crash directly into the Broken Rudder.

Faced with the powerful water-based attack "Wave Rush!", Popo easily tossed the anchor, instantly breaking through the waves, and then easily knocked away the Ghost Tail Blackfish.

Before it could finish off the enemy, the Gyarados on the other side opened its mouth and unleashed a dark red "Destruction Beam".

Logically speaking, since Gyarados is neither a Normal-type nor good at Special Attack, its Hyper Beam shouldn't be that powerful.

The monstrous dragon before them was different; its "Destructive Ray" was clearly at the peak of the "professional" level.

But the broken rudder didn't have time to think about that. The anchor was thrown out again by the main body of the seaweed, directly smashing through the dark red light and also blasting the Gyarados behind it out of the water. Then it turned into a gray-white Zoroark.

But in the process of sweeping away its enemies, it also gave Gengar the opportunity to catch up.

The latter was already fast and not particularly afraid of water. After catching up, it pushed with its claws, and a stream of dark purple venom slammed directly onto the broken rudder.

The broken rudder let out a miserable howl, and the anchor swept across to strike Gengar, but the latter transformed into shadow and sped away after landing a successful blow.

The seaweed on the broken wheel's body grew and split wildly, instantly condensing into more than a dozen incredibly thick green energy vines, which snaked towards Gengar.

The latter dodged left and right, maneuvering against the broken rudder, but due to the unfavorable sea environment, it fell into a disadvantage.

But at the same time, the Hardened Shield Sword Monster appeared behind the Broken Wheel, switched to "Sword Mode", and suddenly grabbed it with "Shadow Claw".

*Smack!*

After the "Shadow Claw" grabbed the broken steering wheel, the collision of energy splashed out black lightning-like energy aftershocks around it. Clearly, the latter was being worn down by ghost energy, but the black giant claw itself was also being consumed rapidly.

Just as the Shadow Claw attack was about to run out, the Aegislash suddenly lifted upwards, throwing the Broken Wheel, which hadn't yet had time to dive into the deep sea, back onto the surface.

As soon as it was thrown, the Azure Flame Blade Demon, which had been poised to strike, once again unleashed the incomparably blazing "Regret Sword".

In the moment of crisis, the seaweed on the broken rudder body grew wildly again, trying to stubbornly resist with "powerful whipping", but in the rush, it only had time to split out seven or eight giant vines.

At the same time, Froslass's "Ice Ray", Gryphon's "Dark Pulse", Decidueye's "Shadow Strike", and Mimikyu's "Shadow Claw" all attacked simultaneously.

"Frozen Ray" froze two giant vines, "Evil Pulse" corroded another giant vine until it withered and turned black, "Shadow Thread" pinned one vine down with a "thud," and "Shadow Claw" also held the other one firmly in its grasp.

The combined power of several Pokémon negated most of the power of "Power Whip," allowing Blademaster to easily strike at the heart of the enemy, slicing through three or four giant vines along the way, and finally slamming into the already battered body of Broken Wheel.

Although Broodling Wheels and Mimikyu are very similar, Broodling Wheels does not have the latter's "masked" feature.

With unparalleled swordsmanship, the Azure Flame Blade Demon unleashed its full power, striking the root of the seaweed with the "Regret Sword." The intensely hot flames, a blend of dark blue and orange-red, burned upwards along the vines, causing the broken rudder to emit a piercing metallic howl.

With the terrifying temperature carried by the Azure Flame Blade Demon's flames, the vast expanse of seawater below was scalded, evaporating into billowing white smoke.

The screams soon ceased, and Popo, the "master-level" overlord who had dominated the area and chased a group of whale kings to the heavens, fell down.

At this moment, the Wailords regained their composure, swaying their enormous bodies to express their gratitude to Lin Ye.

Those on the ship who had recovered from their shock collapsed as if all their strength had been drained. After a long while, they came to their senses and began to bow to Lin Ye in gratitude.

At this moment, those with discerning eyes had already guessed that this young trainer, who was skilled with Ghost-type Pokémon and could produce several "Gym Leader-level Pokémon," was most likely the newly appointed Ghost-type Gym Leader of Lilycove City.

This statement was met with immediate and widespread agreement, with everyone agreeing that only a commoner genius like this could rise to become the gym leader.

Those who had spoken ill of the Water Lily Dojo to their faces didn't even dare to raise their heads or move, standing silently at the edge of the crowd like children who had made a mistake and were being punished.

But Lin Ye had no time to care about them at the moment; his eyes were fixed intently on the dilapidated rudder floating on the sea.

"Xiaoyao, you go ahead with the boat, I'll catch up in a bit!"

"Hmm~"

Xiao Yao knew what Lin Ye was going to do, and immediately nodded obediently.

Watching the yacht sail away, Lin Ye rode the Dark Tail Fish to the unconscious Broken Wheel.

At this moment, this wild "pavilion master" overlord was completely unconscious. Its seaweed tentacles were smashed to pieces, with only a few broken vines floating in the shallow water.

Lin Ye used his mental power to levitate into the air, and once he flew to the top of the broken steering wheel, he reached out and pressed down on it.

Instantly, indigo necromantic power surged from his palm, precisely probing into the broken steering wheel. With the Soul Refining Technique activated, he quickly extracted a ball of pure ghost energy.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Lin Ye looked down at the sniper tree owl, which also glided down from mid-air and landed on the anchor body of the floating, broken rudder.

It looked at the energy in Lin Ye's hand, opened its mouth slightly, and its wings opened slightly before closing again.

Lin Ye gently pushed the energy ball towards it: "Your attributes are exactly the same as itss, so your absorption efficiency is the highest. You can absorb it."

Actually, based on the current level of all Pokémon, Zoroark is the one most likely to break through to the "Gym Leader" level.

However, Lin Ye's current situation is not very tense, so he still followed the most appropriate principle and let the Sniper Tree Owl with the same attributes absorb this energy source.

The sniper tree owl rapidly absorbed the energy source into its body, and the energy fluctuations began to rise violently. Its wings suddenly spread open, and the edges of its feathers glowed with a layer of eerie green light.

Ultimately, however, his energy level stopped at the threshold of "Gym Leader," just like Zoroark before him, remaining a half-step "Gym Leader."

Seeing the Sniper Tree Owl apologize somewhat embarrassedly, Lin Ye patted the feathers on its wings and said, "It's okay, this is not unexpected. The 'Gym Master Level' is not easy to break through. Before, the Azure Flame Blade Ghost also absorbed the essence of the 'Gym Master Level' twice after reaching its peak."

"Now, we need to catch up immediately, otherwise Xiaoyao will have already reached Wudu Town."
