However, this time the Ghost type aura was quite far from the swamp area, so Roy followed his senses of the Ghost type aura and arrived at the foot of the mountain next to the forest area.
Looking up, I spotted a cave halfway up the mountain.
"That's it."
Roy pointed to the cave and said.
"Isn't this Absol's home?"
A Ranger looked at the cave Roy was pointing to and blurted it out.
The Pokémon inside the cave was the target of Hunter J's operation: a pregnant Absol.
The Ranger was in charge of this area; he knew Absol in the cave and they had a good relationship.
Absol?
Hearing what the Ranger next to him said, Roy was stunned for a moment. In the world of Pokémon, Absol is known as Calamity Beast.
The category also Disaster Pokémon.
Because Absol sensitively Frisk changes in the sky and the earth, it possesses the ability to predict disasters.
When it wants to Frisk humanity of an impending disaster by using the horns on its head, it will emerge from the deep mountains.
If Absol appears in front of people, disasters such as Earthquake or Tsunami will surely occur, so the elderly call it the Disaster Pokémon and are very afraid of it.
Just like the crows of ancient times, they were supposed to predict disasters and warn people, but they were regarded as the culprits who brought disasters.
However, why is there a Dark type Ghost type aura emanating from Absol's cave?
Moreover, according to the Ranger, Absol in the cave was only Astonish by the hunters and was not injured or killed.
The zoo director was also puzzled. Maybe Roy was mistaken, because this place wasn't like the swampy area where Palossand lived, where no Pokémon had ever been buried.
Roy didn't believe he could be mistaken about his perception of Ghost type auras.
But then, as if something had occurred to him, Roy hesitated. "No way..."
The only connection between Absol and Ghost type Pokémon is Mega Evolution.
In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Absol not only gained its original Mega Evolution, but also another Mega Evolution Absol Z.
After Mega Evolution, Absol Z changes from a pure Dark type to a Dark/ Ghost-type, becoming immune to Fighting type types that are weak to it, and only having Fairy type as its weakness.
(It has to be said that Fairy type are still too authoritative.)
After Mega Evolution, Absol Z's Attack stat reached 154 and Speed stat reached 151, successfully Transform into a high-attack-speed assassin.
Compared to a regular Mega Absol, it's significantly stronger; at least its base stat increase isn't in Special Attack, but rather in Speed.
(If anyone knows what the Ability of Mega Absol Z are, please let me know. This is just a brief introduction.)
Of course, Roy is only thinking about it in his mind right now. He'll have to go into the cave to see for himself what it is. Maybe he's just overthinking it.
Led by the Ranger managed the mountain area, the group followed the mountain path to the cave halfway up the mountain.
Before the group could enter the cave, they heard a heavy, low growl coming from inside, seemingly warning those outside not to enter.
Absol, don't be afraid, it's me!
The Ranger who knew Absol shouted into the cave.
The low growls inside the cave only stopped after the Ranger's voice was heard.
After a while, Absol, a creature with white fur all over its body, red eyes, and a bow-like horn on the right side of its head, poked its head out of the cave.
Upon seeing Roy and the others, he immediately ducked back into his seat. Although it was only for a few seconds, Roy managed to glean Absol's information:
Pokémon Absol
Level: 41
Sex: Female
Ability: Justified (When attacked by Dark type move, Attack increases due to a sense of justice.)
Skills: Grab, Leer, Quick Attack, Feint, Pursuit, Taunt, Double Team, Headbutt, Night Slash, Detect, Psycho Cut, Scary Face, First Impression
Items carried: None
Egg Move: Double-Edge, Feint Attack, Mean Look, Baton Pass, Pursuit, Sucker Punch
Individual Values: 14
Technical Machine /Skill Transfer: None
Or is it an Absol with Justified?
The Ranger explained that the hunters had just Sucker Punch Absol entrance, which caused Absol to be so nervous, since there was Little Absol inside her.
Pregnant Pokémon can also become stressed, anxious, and more sensitive to their surroundings.
Seeing that Absol was still afraid, the Ranger told Roy and the others to wait outside the cave, while he went into the cave alone.
"Don't be afraid, Absol, it's me, Nia."
Absol only dared to come out after seeing the ranger, Nia, and affectionately snuggled against the ranger's thigh to thank him for saving him.
After the Ranger's explanation, Absol realized that it was thanks to the help of these people outside that the hunters, herself, and her unborn child were spared from their Poison Touch.
The Ranger gestured for everyone to come in, Absol bowed his head to express his gratitude.
It's clear that Absol has a very gentle personality; even when pregnant, she allows people to touch her thick fur.
While the others were still stroking Absol's fur, Roy entered the cave, but he didn't sense any Ghost type aura from it.
The problem must lie with that Absol.
Roy frowned; his feeling was right.
There was a strange Ghost type aura inside this Absol. The key point was that this Ghost type aura did not come from Absol itself, but from Absol's stomach.
Could that be related to Hunter J specifically coming to capture this Absol?
While Absol is rare, it's not worth hiring a whole team of hunters just to capture Absol.
Hunter J certainly didn't intend to capture Absol herself, so it must be her employer who wants Absol.
As for who the employer is...
You'd have to ask Hunter J then.
Roy pulled the Ranger Nia aside and asked if the Absol had shown any unusual behavior recently.
"Something's wrong, but nothing seems amiss..."
