Kecleon, the Repeat Offender
The Misdreavus Yawn and ran to the top of the palace to prepare for Rest, while the Skiploom found a sunny spot to practice Synthesis.
As for the Quagsire, after he fell asleep, the prince put him away and carefully placed him in the inner pocket of his clothes.
His clothes had many compartments, each containing a different Pokémon, but the Poké Ball in each compartment were always the same, so he could immediately take out the Pokémon he wanted.
The Poké Ball were also marked to distinguish them.
Little Sentret jumped back and forth a few times, but didn't give up.
It suddenly hugged its large tail, then winked at the group, "Ta-qiu, ta-qiu-qiu~"
A very special charm emanated from him.
"The skill of Charm?"
Dian Zheng's hand, which was about to pick up his backpack, involuntarily paused. He quickly shook his head, but in that short moment, a long tongue appeared before his eyes, then quickly wrapped around the backpack strap and pulled.
A green Kecleon quickly retracted its tongue, caught the backpack, and then dashed away.
The Misdreavus blinked, then glanced back. The little Sentret, having used its Charm skill, had also run off. Looking at the Kecleon in the distance, she immediately Screech loudly without hesitation.
At the same time, the red bead around her neck also emitted an eerie, demonic light.
The already terrifying sound became even more chilling.
In addition, a flash of Red Light appeared in the eyes of the Misdreavus, and a large swath of Black Shadow poured out, not only towards the Kecleon in front, but also towards the fleeing Little Sentret behind.
Clearly, this was a heinous gang crime. If Misdreavus Demon couldn't see that, how could she possibly survive in the Ghost type Realm?
The Misdreavus slowly floated up, its eyes mysteriously fixed on the Kecleon running erratically not far away. A dim, eerie light flashed and disappeared, rapidly spreading along the shadows on the ground.
During this time, following the instructions of the temple, Zubat has been gradually passing on its methods and experience in using Mean Look and Confuse Ray to Misdreavus.
Although the Mean Look might be difficult to understand, Misdreavus cannot use it yet.
However, drawing on her previous experience practicing Psywave and Psybeam, she quickly mastered the use of the Confuse Ray, and even surpassed her teacher by incorporating it into her Confuse Ray Shadow Sneak. Although this reduced the attack speed of the Confuse Ray, it made it superior in terms of concealment and unpredictability.
The current hope is that the Misdreavus can integrate Psywave, Psybeam, and Confuse Ray into one, refining them and creating its own unique light skill.
Then combine it with Shadow Sneak, and eventually, it can even be used in conjunction with Astonish or Mean Look.
Ultimately, like Shadow Sneak, if it's integrated into daily life, every move can confuse the opponent and even cause harm.
Of course, it's easy to think about, but extremely difficult to actually do it.
Furthermore, the Hex and abilities that the Misdreavus learned from the Cofagrigus require a certain amount of time to comprehend before they can be used correctly.
I really don't know what kind of magical method the Cofagrigus used, or whether the Misdreavus itself inherited this skill but was just too young to show it before.
But no matter what, Miss Misdreavus Fairy may seem very leisurely, but she is probably actually the busiest one.
Even if the Kecleon runs as fast as it can, it can't keep up with the speed at which the shadow spreads. Soon, it will be overtaken by the shadow controlled by the Misdreavus. At the same time, a ghostly light is hidden in the shadow, ready to strike at any moment.
If a single Confuse Ray hits her, this audacious, Kecleon that dared to steal her food can go to the Spirit World or somewhere else to meet its ancestors for eighteen generations.
A smile appeared on the Misdreavus's lips. She had already figured out how to deal with this Kecleon. Since it had meat, she would stew it into soup or braise it.
As for the little Sentret behind her, well, she still needs a maid to massage her legs, so this will have to do.
As for why it wasn't Kecleon? Well, isn't that obvious? It's too ugly. Eating it is already a favor from Misdreavus Fairy. You know, she doesn't eat ordinary things.
The ugly Kecleon has no dragon authority, and it's embarrassing to take it out. On the contrary, it's much more respectable to take that little Sentret out.
On one hand, she can be praised for her kindness Misdreavus, for guiding young Pokémon to reform and live for her Ideals Misdreavus, thus creating Misdreavus value system.
On the other hand, there's still room to fatten it up. If she wants to eat it, she has to raise it first before slaughtering it. This is the sustainable development morality of Misdreavus Demon.
Unfortunately, just as Misdreavus Fairy was happily contemplating her wild ideas, Kecleon suddenly split in two. It seemed to be more than just Double Team, because in Misdreavus Fairy's perception, the two figures were exactly the same, from appearance to inner workings, without any difference.
Even the prince, who had initially thought it would be a piece of cake, frowned. Trouble. It was Substitute skill.
This skill allows you to create a perfect Substitute by consuming stamina, which can even withstand an attack, making it a very useful skill.
The number of times Substitute is created varies from one to three, because generally, when using Substitute for the fourth time, the user will fail due to excessive physical exertion.
Similarly, if one's stamina is excessively depleted during a fight, the Substitute will no longer be usable. Therefore, while it is a crucial skill in combat, it is unlikely to cause a significant difference in strength.
However, in real life, or more precisely, in the act of escaping, it is indeed a very useful skill.
Dian glanced at the sky and realized that it was still early before Beedrill and the others would return, and even if they rushed over, it would probably be too late.
While Misdreavus Demon hesitated, the Skiploom beside her had already floated high into the sky, swirling vortexes carrying its unique powder, scattering it far and wide.
They paid special attention to the Kecleon that was about to escape into a crevice in the mountains and the Little Sentret that had already run to another hillside.
In the end, Misdreavus Demon could only choose one target to attack. Unfortunately, as expected, it was Substitute and disappeared immediately after being hit. Meanwhile, the real Kecleon, carrying the Prince's backpack, also vanished without a trace.
For the average Trainer, this would probably be a real problem, since finding a Kecleon in such a large area would likely take an unknown amount of time.
Of course, if you have your own Pokémon in your backpack, that would be even worse, but you can't just not look for them.
If the loss is only in ordinary items, then we have no choice but to give up.
This incident serves as a lesson, because although many people have patiently taught us that we must always carry Poké Ball with us at all times.
However, some new Trainer find it troublesome and put it in their backpacks. Only after experiencing this kind of thing do they understand what a bloody lesson is.
