Elf-like Life

Chapter 45, Pikachu's Dream

Oh no!

It's a magic spell that freezes people in place!!

The "Immobilization Technique," also known as the "Petrification Technique" in the older version, literally means that it makes the opponent's entire body as stiff as a stone, and they cannot use any skills.

That means Charmander can only stand there and get beaten up.

Moreover, breaking free from the immobilization spell requires luck, which usually takes 3-5 rounds.

However, some casters can reach the ninth level, instantly increasing the duration of the immobilization spell to 6-10 rounds.

The little dragon can speak, but its little claws and entire body are immobile, and the flames on its tail are weakened.

"Damn it, if I don't move at all, I'll just become a turtle!"

Then comes the revenge phase for Sulip. Charmander's arrogance has vanished; he's now just a punching bag waiting to be beaten.

"You little rascal, you were pretty brave just now!"

"Go to hell!"

Boom boom boom boom boom boom—

The little dragon had no way to dodge and could only stand there as it was swung away by Sylph's trunk. Just like Marie-Ru, its back slammed hard against the giant rock.

"Ugh!"

"You hurt me pretty badly just now. Perfect, this time I'll let you experience the power of telekinesis!"

Before the smoke and dust had even cleared, the little fire dragon, which had just opened its eyes, was once again surrounded by layers of distorted purple waves.

The psychic energy fluctuations were eroding the little dragon's brain, causing him to suffer both physical and mental torment.

"Ugh, damn it!"

It was obvious that Sulip wanted to make the little dragon wish it were dead.

Of course, we'll torture him slowly for a while before we stop. As for the final result, there's no need to guess; if he doesn't move, he'll eventually go black.

Sulip's second wave of telekinetic attack + elephant trunk strike!

Charmander was about to collapse, and the orange-yellow flames on its tail began to gradually turn blue. It was unaware that this was a sign that the Blaze ability was about to be activated.

Charmander is different from other Pokémon.

When the raging fire is activated, blue flames first shoot out from its tail.

Secondly, his overall strength increased dramatically, including the power of his little claws, the power of fire-type moves, etc., which can be considered as a temporary enhancement buff.

Sulip observed very carefully, especially the subtle changes taking place at the tip of the little dragon's tail.

"This is bad."

"You look like you're about to trigger your Blaze ability, I have to take you out of here right now."

"Bye now!"

Sulip decided to show no mercy and swung his trunk at Charmander with all his might. Unfortunately, although Charmander was in a state of intense fire, he was still immobilized by the spell.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom, whoosh—

Everything is such a coincidence!

Just as Sulip was about to finish off Charmander, another sandstorm swept through the thorny cliffs.

The entire process was disrupted by strong winds, and the little dragon was almost dead when it was swept to the other side.

"Ugh—"

I'm definitely going to die if this continues. I can't move my whole body right now, and I can't hold on for much longer!

Marilyn is also in grave danger, so Pikachu, you must wake up! As long as one member of the Starry Night Expedition can stand up again, we still have hope!!

Wake up, Pikachu! Pikachu!!!

Charmander pinned all his hopes on Pikachu, who was lying unconscious on the ground.

But Sulip immediately smiled and told him it was all in vain:

"Don't be silly, do you think I've only practiced simple hypnosis?"

Pikachu: zzzzzzz...

Sulip's hypnosis has reached the ninth level, also known as fear hypnosis, where the duration of hypnosis is linked to the fear level of the other person.

In other words, the more fearful Pikachu is, the longer it will fall into a deep sleep.

It's possible he'll never wake up.

———Treasure Town Divider———

Dusk falls,

Two guests have arrived at the Natural Bird Divination Tent.

Bucktoothed Raccoon led Little Lulili to pray. He had tried many ways to coax the child, and finally found that only this method could calm Little Lulili down.

As dusk falls, the shadows of wild birds are stretched out, creating a sense of mystery.

"Good boy, the owner of the natural bird can hold a prayer ceremony for us. Is there anything you want to say to your brother? Everyone will be alright."

Because the counter was a bit high, little Luli had to jump high and shout:

"Please let me pray that my brother will return safely!"

"And Charmander and Pikachu, please come back too! Everyone, please come back safe and sound! Waaaaaaah!!"

The owner of the natural bird shop didn't turn around; he simply gazed quietly at the setting sun.

"I'll pay the money..." Seeing that the natural bird had not yet started the ceremony, the buck-toothed raccoon put the gold coins due into the money box.

But then, in the next instant, the bird suddenly spread its wings wide, startling the two of them!

"GA AAAAAAAAA——"

"No need, I already divined an answer when you first arrived..."

The natural bird gestured for them to pay attention to the glowing divination magic orb, which emitted a dark purple mist and was particularly murky in color.

The buck-toothed raccoon sensed something was wrong:

"My God, why is the magic ball this color? Does that mean the divination result is terrible?"

Lulili was completely devastated upon hearing this.

"Good heavens, I think I should notify the guild to go and pick them up. After all, they're just two apprentices..."

Before the buck-toothed raccoon could finish speaking, the natural bird calmly said:

"It's not over yet."

"As long as the color hasn't turned a deathly black, it means they still have a chance of survival."

"In that case, I will make an exception and pray for you this once."

Lulili's heart nearly stopped upon hearing this, and she quickly thanked him:

"Thank you so much! Please, please pray that your prayers succeed! Waaaaah!"

GA, AAAAAAAAAAA——

Despite the prayers, the little elf who truly controlled the situation on the battlefield was Sulip.

In other words, at this critical moment, Pikachu must shoulder the fate of the entire Starry Night Expedition. Charmander is currently unable to move, and Marill is on the verge of death. Everything depends on Pikachu waking up.

Fear is the first hurdle Pikachu must overcome.

Pikachu is currently dreaming, and in the dream it still has 75% fear level, so it can't wake up for a long time.

Sylph had long seen that Pikachu was afraid, so he concluded that Pikachu would never be able to break free from its sleep state and would only be trapped in an endless cycle of sleep.

"Wake up, Pikachu, it's too late!"

Pikachu's fear level has dropped to 66%.

"Can you hear me, Pikachu? Pikachu!"

Pikachu's fear level fluctuates around 60%.

Until Pikachu had a beautiful dream in which a figure that was so familiar to him appeared, just like the goddess Gardevoir that Charmander had dreamed of a few nights ago.

It was a Pikachu wearing a dark green Jonin vest.

He has silver-gray hair like volcanic ash from Mount Fuji, a black ninja mask covering half of his eyes under his forehead protector, and a small blue book is always in his hand.

"Kakachu-sensei!"

In the final moment, Kakashi Hatake slowly turned his head and said gently in a tone that had watched him grow up since childhood:

"Ah, Pikachu, I can't sleep anymore~"

"When your friends are in trouble, learn to be strong. You can do it."

Today is lucky August 8.21st, and Jiang Jiang is finally here to recommend something! Ahem, and everyone, remember that Kakachu makes an appearance this time! Kakachu-sensei is here! Hehehe. Today I visited a ranch in Daegwallyeong. The sheep in Korea were pretty good, so plump! There were also many horses and cows. Of course, I've wanted to go to this place for a long time. Okay, dear readers, thank you so much! I'm also asking for your votes, rewards, favorites, and investments. That's all for this chapter!
