The Powerful Physique of People from Another World
"What does this mean?" Ma Feifei asked, puzzled by the sudden appearance of Team Rocket.
Team Rocket are villains in Pokémon, they are characters in the storyline, while Liu Changsheng is an outsider whose only goal is to capture Pokémon. Logically speaking, the two shouldn't have any connection.
Take Liu Changsheng's current situation as an example. If Team Rocket hadn't appeared, Liu Changsheng would have already successfully captured Clefairy and then exited the book world.
The fact that Team Rocket appeared at this crucial moment means that the system has added extra difficulty for outsiders to enter the Pokémon and catch Pokémon.
"Could it be that we might return empty-handed?" Ma Feifei wondered with some concern. Whether Liu Changsheng could successfully capture the Pokémon was directly related to Ma Feifei's Side Quest. If Liu Changsheng failed to capture the Pokémon, Ma Feifei's progress on this Side Quest would be delayed.
"Who are you?" In the story, Liu Changsheng looked at the suddenly appearing Team Rocket with a gloomy face and asked in a deep voice.
"Huh~ Meowth, this person looks familiar! Isn't he the one you kicked into the river yesterday?" Jessie asked Liu Changsheng curiously.
"They were just trying to help him, don't talk nonsense," Meowth said, waving her paws and jumping around.
"Hey, you two, people are asking us questions. Have some manners, okay?" James said, rubbing his forehead.
"Didn't we recite our opening lines?" Jessie asked, puzzled.
"Meowth ~ I read it."
"Then why did he ask again?"
"He's probably out of his mind!"
"..."
"Alright, ignore this idiot. Meowth, go snatch the Moon Stone Shard from Clefairy's hand," Jessie said, waving his hand.
"Meow~" Meowth waved its paws, revealing sharp teeth, and walked towards the dazed Clefairy.
"Stop!" Liu Changsheng roared, stepping forward to block the way.
This little sprite was one he absolutely had to capture. The dignity of the Spirit Venerable would not allow anyone to snatch what was about to be his from his grasp. Even though Liu Changsheng's cultivation was sealed, he still stepped forward.
"Oh, so you want to duel with us?" James looked at Liu Changsheng and mocked.
"Then let's go!"
'Swish' 'swish'
Jessie James produced a Poké Ball in his hand and threw it at Liu Changsheng.
'Bang~'
'Bang~'
Two figures flashed out of the Poké Ball: a snake-shaped Pokémon and a ball-shaped Pokémon appeared on the battlefield.
"Is this how Pokémon fight?" Liu Changsheng watched this scene, secretly shocked.
This Poké Ball is similar to a spatial ring, but it seems to be even more Gao Ming, as it can store living things inside.
"Where's your little spirit? Why haven't you released it yet?" James couldn't help but ask when he saw Liu Changsheng standing still.
"To ensure a fair duel, you can only use two Pokémon in battle!" Jessie reminded him.
"I..." Liu Changsheng was a little embarrassed. He didn't have a single Pokémon, let alone two.
"What?! You don't even have a single Pokémon?" Jessie couldn't help but complain, looking at Liu Changsheng's constipated appearance.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way," James urged.
Liu Changsheng's face was very unpleasant. His hands were clenched tightly as he stared at Jessie and James opposite him.
"Meow~" Suddenly, the Meowth standing in front of Liu Changsheng leaped up and pounced on Liu Changsheng, waving its paws.
The speed was extremely fast. Liu Changsheng almost instinctively dodged backward, and a gust of wind swept by, the cat's paw grazing his face.
With a 'whoosh', Meowth missed its first attack, then spun around in mid-air and followed up with a Rolling Kick.
Liu Changsheng leaned back, bracing himself with his hands on the ground in a bow shape. Seeing Meowth kicking towards him, Liu Changsheng exerted force with both hands, and his legs shot up, hitting Meowth squarely.
"Bang!"
Meow~
Meowth was kicked so hard it flew through the air and crashed to the ground.
Liu Changsheng used the momentum to stand up, looking at Meowth lying not far away, his eyes filled with doubt. "Why does it feel so weak? Are the spirit beasts in this world all of very low rank?"
Liu Changsheng's cultivation was sealed. Logically speaking, on the Azure Dragon Continent, any spirit beast above the first rank, as long as it wasn't a spirit beast without offensive capabilities, could defeat him in his current state. Yet, even in this state, he was able to defeat a talking Pokémon from Pokémon.
It should be noted that, according to the classification of spirit beasts in the Azure Dragon Continent, spirit beasts that can speak human language are at least at the seventh rank or above, belonging to high-ranking spirit beasts; even Spirit Venerable would have a hard time dealing with a spirit beast of this level, let alone someone whose entire cultivation is now sealed.
"Damn it, Ekans, Koffing, go!" Jessie James was furious when he saw Meowth being kicked away by Liu Changsheng, and commanded his Pokémon to attack Liu Changsheng.
Ekans opened its mouth wide and lunged at Liu Changsheng, while the Koffing began to release venom.
As the poisonous gas spread, Liu Changsheng's heart sank. He held his breath, dodged the Ekans's attack by sidestepping, and then punched the Ekans's head.
"Bang!" Ekans was sent flying by this punch.
Liu Changsheng did not stop attacking. He looked up at the Ekans in mid-air, squatted slightly, and leaped up, using the power of his legs to launch himself into the air. In mid-air, he kicked the Koffing with a long Koffing, sending it flying.
Although his cultivation was sealed, the formidable physique of the otherworldly being was perfectly displayed at this moment. Liu Changsheng, like God of War, defeated three Pokémon single-handedly.
"Too slow." Liu Changsheng looked at the three little elves lying on the ground and shook his head.
"Wow, he's that strong!"
"Oh my god, run!"
Jessie and James were so frightened that they quickly left the battlefield.
"We'll be back~~~"
Watching Jessie James's departing figure, Liu Changsheng fell into deep thought.
If defeating the first Pokémon only left you with doubts, then defeating three Pokémon in a row is enough to prove your point.
The Pokémon world are utterly powerless.
It's not even as good as second-tier or higher spirit beasts on the Azure Dragon Continent. What's the point of having such a little sprite?
In an instant, Liu Changsheng's interest in catching Pokémon greatly diminished.
In fact, it wasn't just Liu Changsheng; the cultivators inside and outside the Bookstore were also puzzled, unable to understand why such a useless item would appear in this Yellow Quality book. The previous Diamond Sutra book featured cultivators at the Spirit Saint level or higher! Any one of them could make all the forces on the Azure Dragon Continent tremble. But this one, a spirit beast from Pokémon, also Yellow Quality book, was far inferior in strength to the Diamond Sutra.
Even Ma Feifei was propping his head up, trying to figure out what the problem was.
"That doesn't make sense!"
Since the system classifies this Pokémon and the Diamond Sutra of the same quality, the benefits they bring to cultivators should be roughly the same. At least in terms of Pokémon strength, there shouldn't be such a mismatch.
Ma Feifei is currently in a fantasy world where things like splitting mountains with a hand and breaking rivers with a leg are commonplace. If Pokémon's strength is only this much, what benefits can this Pokémon bring to cultivators? Keep it as a pet? Don't be ridiculous. There are countless spirit beasts on the Azure Dragon Continent, and they might not even lose to Pokémon in terms of cuteness. Besides, Pokémon is not only cute, but also powerful.
"I just can't figure it out!" Ma Feifei shook his head, completely baffled as to where this point was.
'Clefairy ~' At this moment, the plot in the projection took a new turn.
