Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

next second.

Dense poison energy erupted from the two Pokémon, and their auras increased dramatically in a short period of time.

Enveloped in eerie purple poisonous energy, Gengar chuckled and slowly disappeared into the shadows.

"Jie Jie—"

The Mongoose Slash's already reddish eyes were now filled with a deep purple, and with each step it took, it left a charred footprint on the ground.

At this point, the toxins in its body had accumulated to an extreme critical point, and its "poisoning surge" characteristic also fully erupted at this moment.

Xia Yan frowned.

"That little ball..."

It's quite obvious that after the two Pokémon ate the two small purple balls, their strength increased dramatically in a short period of time. Those balls were most likely something that Aju gave him to save his life, stimulating the toxins in the Pokémon's body in exchange for increased strength.

However, it is foreseeable that such a method will have extremely serious side effects.

However, the result of this method was that both Zangoose and Gengar's strength instantly crossed the threshold of Elite level and entered the Gym Leader level.

boom! !

Just as Atuo was boosting the strength of the two Pokémon, the Weezing he sent out to absorb the damage also collapsed to the ground.

Once the Double Gas is knocked out, its "Flash" move disappears, and the cave is immediately plunged into darkness.

But the dark environment is what Atuo likes the most.

Bang! !

A sudden attack came from behind. Gengar, which had approached silently, threw a Shadow Ball at Kadabra.

Fortunately, Yundira's psychic perception was always active, so it reacted immediately.

However, Gengar, whose strength has surged, is not so easy to withstand this attack, and Kadabra is injured.

"Feel the fear that darkness brings." Atuo's voice became erratic.

Clearly, as a ninja, he had begun to take action, and naturally, he had only one target.

Xia Yan!

There are some special circumstances

An unexpected wedding banquet (I completely forgot about it (′;︵;`)) forced me to leave home for a day to go back to my hometown for my childhood friend's wedding. I don't know what time I'll be back tonight; there might be more, or there might not be. I've been plied with drinks a bit too much. (???????)

I'm not going to say anything more, I'm going to go eat some gossip. It's said that they got married because she was pregnant.

I'll delete it tomorrow.

Chapter Seventy-Three: A Legacy Originating from the Ancient Hu Land

For Atuo, who excels at operating in the shadows, the dark environment is the perfect battlefield.

Gengar also finds it easier to fight in the dark.

Although Kadabra had its psychic powers activated and could easily detect Zangoose and Attacker, it didn't work as well against Gengar.

The reason lies in the fact that Ghost-types are effective against Psychic-types.

When Gengar reveals its form, Kadabra can detect it, but it is more difficult to detect when it is lurking in its shadow.

Even though Kadabra has a fast reaction speed and can defend itself the instant Gengar launches an attack, the current difference in strength means that it must be extra careful and focused every time it defends, otherwise it is very likely to be defeated by Gengar's attack.

Actually, whether the surrounding environment is dark or not is not important, because whether it is filled with light or pitch black, the key to victory is to find Gengar's ghostly shadow and seize the opportunity and gap of its attack to counterattack.

"Jie Jie—"

Gengar's unrestrained laughter echoed throughout the cave, making people, whether human or Pokémon, feel a little uneasy.

This invisible enemy is the most troublesome.

On the other hand, Zangoose Slash, which had also received a power boost, was being pushed back by Beedrill and the Twin Sheaths, and it seemed that it could not hold out for much longer.

Its strength has increased, but this has also led to an unstable state. Even though Zangoose Slash's eyes didn't have much of a spark before, it still had some discipline in its fighting. Now, apart from the poisonous mist that it constantly emits and its seemingly powerful strength, Zangoose Slash poses little threat to Beedrill and Twin Blades.

At the same time, it also confirms that this temporary increase in strength obtained through external forces not only requires a huge price to pay, but also does not allow the enhanced spirit to gain corresponding combat power.

Rather than an improvement in strength, it's more accurate to say an increase in energy, which led to a change in power.

In terms of combat power alone, the improvement is not as significant as it appears.

This is undoubtedly good news.

Xia Yan placed his hand on Kadabra's back. The superpowers of the human and the Pokémon had completely merged, and their gazes were now almost identical.

"Yongjira, you saw it too, the enemy isn't as strong as you thought."

Xia Yan's voice echoed in Yongjira's mind.

Although he hasn't mastered telepathy yet, he can manage it with the help of Yundira's power.

Kadabra didn't respond. It was pondering Xia Yan's words while remaining vigilant against Gengar, which might appear at any moment. With its attention fully focused, it was incapable of expressing any other meaning.

Xia Yan didn't ask Yongjila to say anything, and just continued talking to himself.

"Think about what we've been training for lately. Don't be intimidated by their seemingly fierce appearance. Strip away that external strength; it's actually... very fragile."

What are the contents of the special training?

Yunjira didn't even need to think; the answer was already in his mind.

Techniques that foresee the future!

Correct!

Predict the future!

When the idea of ​​"foreseeing the future" flashed through his mind, along with its special effects, Yongjira's eyes lit up.

After Xia Yan's prompting, Yongjila finally realized what was happening.

It's just that previously, Yundira's "foreseeing the future" was mostly used as a warning when traveling or exploring a certain area.

It is rarely used in actual combat to determine the opponent's whereabouts or as a means of dealing with the enemy.

But now, facing the ghostly and elusive Gengar, this seems to have become an effective means for Kadabra to counter Gengar.

We'll have to try it out to see the results.

"Yongji."

Yongjira let out a low shout, the blue light in his eyes flickering, and he raised the spoon in his hand, activating "Precognition".

However, when Yunjira infused his superpowers into the spoon, attempting to amplify the perception brought about by the "foresight" technique by bending the spoon, some unexpected changes occurred.

As if some dormant power within the spoon had been stirred, many fragmented images suddenly surfaced in Yongjira's mind.

The main character in the picture is an Alakazam!

The original owner of this spoon was Alakazam, the Pokémon on whom many Psychic-type Pokémon placed their greatest hopes!

In the scene, Alakazam seems to be giving a lesson, concealing something from Kadjara.

Meanwhile, outside, Xia Yan, who had placed his hand on Yuzura's back, also sensed the change in Yuzura.

"Hmm? The superpower I poured into the spoon is getting feedback?"

This phenomenon is very strange.

It's true that Yundira's superpowers triggered the spoon, but that's not entirely accurate.

Because the prayer beads in its other hand were also emitting a faint, dim orange light, within the intense blue psychic power that Yongjira was surging, a faint pink wisp appeared and disappeared, sometimes bright and sometimes dim—

Furthermore, there were also scattered white specks of light on Yunjira's body.

It seems that, for some special reason, all the hidden things within Yunjira were triggered, and a chain reaction was produced.

For example, the psychic powers resulting from the fusion of fragments of the Psychic Slate, the wood scorched by the Sacred Flame, the life crystals that Kadabra once absorbed, the psychic powers contained within the spoon for countless years, and the psychic marks left by Alakazam, the spoon's former owner, from its long years of use...

"Yongji!"

Suddenly enlightened.

Yongjira suddenly opened its eyes, and a dark red eye slowly appeared on its forehead.

"The Eye of Miracles?"

Xia Yan was somewhat surprised to see this "eye".

Has Yunjira learned a new move?

Is this teaching derived from the mark left inside a spoon by the Hudi?

Immediately afterwards, a round, dark sphere appeared in front of Yundira and was hurled without hesitation at an empty spot in the cave.

Strong mental focus!

Another new move!

Moreover, whether it's the previous "Miracle Eye" or this "Psychic," Kadabra's proficiency with these two moves is by no means low; in fact, it can be described as "skilled."

A legacy from the ancient land of Hu!

Bang! !

Almost the instant the mental force struck, a dark shadow emerged from the shadows on the ground. Before its smug smile could last long, the mental force slammed into it.

Gengar, whose whereabouts had been predicted by Kadabra, was blasted out of the shadows by Psychic.

In an instant, the dense poisonous mist surrounding Gengar dissipated considerably, and its seemingly formidable aura was also significantly weakened.

External forces are, in the end, external forces.

As Gengar flew backward, it gritted its teeth and tried to disappear back into the shadows.

But the "miracle eye" on Yongjira's head has always been locked onto it.

Now that you've been caught, don't even think about hiding anymore.

The spoon in his hand bent.

The "foresight" move truly proved its worth in battle.

Foresight: Streams a superpower into the enemy, locks onto the target, and applies damage after a period of time.
