A few days later, Allearth Forest was deep inside.
Night falls and the stars are shining.
Xiaoyun and the group set up tents, raised Courtney, and prepared to rest.
"How many kilometers did you walk today..." Barry asked feebly as he lay paralyzed in his sleeping bag.
He was chased by a Mega Beedrill for two miles today. Although he fought back and killed him in the end, he was very tired.
The key is that Mega Stone didn't drop either. As for the promised gold rush, not a single one was found.
"About sixty kilometers." Zoey was packing his luggage outside the tent. "At this rate, we can reach Azoth Kingdom the day after tomorrow."
"We still have two more days to go..." Barry wailed.
Master Yun was cooking soup beside Courtney, and the aroma spread:
"Stop complaining and come get some soup."
"Coming!"
Everyone sat around Courtney, drinking hot soup and chatting in a warm atmosphere.
It was late at night and everyone was falling asleep one after another.
Xiaoyun was lying in the sleeping bag with his eyes closed, but not completely asleep.
Suddenly, he heard a slight noise.
It's not the sound of wind, not Bug Buzz, but... the sound of something moving quickly. It's very light and very fast, like something is galloping on the grass.
He quietly opened his eyes and looked out through the cracks in the tent.
Under Moonlight, a black shadow flashed past like a ghost, so fast that only an afterimage was left behind.
That figure... looks like a canine Pokémon?
But it's extremely fast, and... it exudes an ominous aura.
Xiaoyun left the tent quietly without alerting others, and then threw Poké Ball.
"Dragonite, catch up with it."
"Woo!"
Dragonite appeared, Xiaoyun rode up, Dragonite flapped its wings, quietly rose into the air, and chased in the direction of the black shadow.
Sombra is very fast, but Dragonite is faster.
As the first generation Pseudo-Legendary, the speed of Dragonite is also top-notch among Flying-type. Although the statement of "circling the earth in 16 hours" is a bit exaggerated, it also illustrates its speed.
A few minutes later, they caught up with the shadow and arrived at a river deep in the plain.
Moonlight Next, Xiaoyun finally saw its true face.
That's a...Absol.
But it was different from any Absol he had ever seen.
The ordinary Absol is all white, with gray-blue horns, bows and tails, and has an elegant and mysterious temperament.
Although it is called a "disaster beast", it is actually Pokémon that warns of disasters.
And this one in front of me...
His limbs fell to the ground, his body posture became lower and more aggressive.
The blue-black hair glowed with a dark luster under the Moonlight, and the horns on the head were bent, like the horns of a devil.
The part on the back that should have been white wings now turned into a pair of huge, sharp dark red energy Scratch.
The most special thing is that there is a faint black-red energy field surrounding its body, making it look even more mysterious and powerful.
"This is Absol? The dark version of Mega Absol is pretty much the same."
Xiaoyun observed.
The temperament of this Absol is not like warning of disaster, but more like... spreading disaster.
Is there Ghost-type?
At this moment, Absol seemed to notice something and turned his head suddenly, looking in Xiaoyun's direction.
Its eyes were blood red, cold and full of hostility.
"It was discovered..."
Xiaoyun knew that he couldn't hide anymore, so he simply walked out of the shadows.
When Absol saw Xiaoyun, he did not run away. Instead, he lowered his body and let out a threatening growl.
The red Scratch on its back starts from Illuminate, and the black and red aura is more intense.
"Looks like he's ready to fight."
Xiaoyun smiled, just in time, he also wanted to try the quality of this mutant Absol.
"Dragonite, I leave it to you."
"Woo!" Dragonite landed and stood in front of Xiaoyun, his eyes sharp.
Absol No nonsense, attack directly!
Bang!
Its limbs exerted force, the ground exploded, and its body rushed out like a black Flash! The horn on its head lit up with a dark red light!
Night Slash!
"So fast!"
Xiaoyun was shocked. "Dragonite, use Dragon Claw!"
Dragonite's right paw lights up with cyan Dragon-type energy, transforming into Dragon Claw, Night Slash facing Absol.
Bang! A loud noise like a collision! Dragon Claw collides with Night Slash!
Absol was knocked back, but it rolled in the air and landed. The dark red energy Scratch behind it swung out at the same time, bringing up three sharp bloody arcs!
Shadow Claw!
"Woo!"
Dragonite quickly used its wings to resist, but was repelled by this claw, and three shallow scratches appeared on the wings.
"Abo!"
After the attack was successful, Absol immediately jumped back to distance himself, and opened his mouth Spit Up to fire a black-red energy beam.
Dark Pulse, and the color is abnormal.
Xiaoyun is thinking that Absol's combat capability is not low and cannot underestimate the enemy.
"Extreme Speed avoid, then use Dragon Dance!"
"Woo!"
Dragonite instantly turned into a white light, moved sideways at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye, dodged Dark Pulse, and then danced in the air, its attack and speed increased!
When Absol saw this, the red light in his eyes became even brighter, and he charged forward again. Scratch was covered with more solid shadow energy, and another Shadow Claw hit!
"Dragonite, use Dragon Claw to fight head-on!"
Dragonite and Dragon Claw, whose abilities have been improved, are even more powerful. The cyan Dragon Claw and the blood-colored Shadow Claw collide again!
Boom!
This time, Absol was shaken and slid further backwards, obviously at a disadvantage in the pure strength confrontation.
"Interesting..."
Xiaoyun's eyes lit up.
This Absol is very powerful, and its fighting style is clean and neat. It is definitely the best among Wild Pokémon.
"Dragonite, continue attacking, use Thunder Punch!"
Dragonite's right fist burst out with bright golden lightning, hitting Absol like a bolt of thunder!
Absol showed amazing agility, sliding sideways to avoid Thunder Punch's main attack, and at the same time launched an attack from Dragonite's blind spot.
Slash!
The sharp claws aimed at Dragonite's ribs.
However, Dragonite also has rich combat experience. Dragon Tail took advantage of the situation and struck Absol on the waist like a steel whip!
Bang!
Absol was flung away and rolled several times on the ground before he staggered to his feet. His breath was obviously much disordered.
It knew that it was no match for this Dragonite, but its desire to fight was completely aroused. Instead, it gathered energy and prepared to launch a stronger Dark Pulse!
The fluctuation was darker in color and wider in scope, as if it was going to swallow everything.
"Thunder Punch Interrupt it!"
Dragonite turned into orange light and rushed in front of Absol instantly. Thunder Punch hit it in the face, interrupting Dark Pulse.
Absol was stunned by this punch and his movements became stiff.
"The final blow, Dragon Rush!" Xiaoyun took out a Great Ball from his waist.
"Woo!!"
Dragonite let out a long roar, and the terrifying energy of Dragon-type exploded, forming a ferocious and majestic blue dragon phantom around it, swooping down from the air towards Absol!
Boom--!!!!
Mega Absol was knocked out and rolled on the ground for more than ten times before stopping.
It struggled to stand up, but Tackle just now had seriously injured it...
Eventually, it fell.
The Mega Evolution form was released and turned back into the ordinary Absol.
Xiaoyun throws Great Ball.
The ball arced through the air, hit Absol, and was included in it.
The ball is shaking on the ground.
Once, twice, three times...
Ding.
Capture successful.
"It's been a long time since I conquered Pokémon. I feel so nostalgic."
Xiaoyun walked over and picked up Poké Ball and was in a good mood. He looked around and saw no one around, coughed lightly, assumed a classic pose, and lifted Poké Ball towards Moonlight:
"I conquer...Absol!"
"Woo~" Dragonite looked disgusted next to him.
What a great trainer.
Only then did Xiaoyun notice that there was something shining Illuminate under Moonlight where Absol had just fallen.
He bent down and picked it up, it was a Mega Stone, Absol Mega Stone.
Exactly the same as what Baru said.
"It really does exist..."
This does not look like a natural phenomenon. Wild Pokémon will not drop Mega Evolution, let alone Mega Stone.
"It should... not be the problem there, right?"
He looked up in the direction of the Azoth Kingdom, the mechanical kingdom, and saw a sudden increase in abnormal Mega Evolution.
"Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Xiaoyun smiled, put away Poké Ball and stones, mounted Dragonite, and flew towards the camp.
The next morning.
The sun shone in through the gaps in the tent, and Dawn crawled out of the sleeping bag, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
She took a Yawn shot, stretched out, and felt that she slept very soundly last night.
Maybe it's because I'm tired from traveling during the day, or maybe it's because the air on the plains is so fresh.
Outside the tent, Xiaoyun was squatting on a flat stone, with Shaymin floating beside him, and in front of them lay a Absol that looked a little embarrassed but was receiving treatment.
"Good morning, Dawn."
Xiaoyun raised his head and said hello, holding Pokéblock in his hand and feeding it to Absol.
Shaymin used "Aromatherapy" next to her to spread the healing aroma, and Absol's expression relaxed a lot.
Dawn blinked cutely and rubbed his eyes again to make sure he saw it correctly.
"Where did you get this Absol...?" She walked out of the tent and leaned over to take a look curiously.
Absol glanced at her warily, but did not attack - it was too weak now, and Xiaoyun's treatment had made it partly let down its guard.
"I conquered it last night."
Xiaoyun replied, continuing to feed Pokéblock.
"Last night? Why didn't I know?"
Dawn was surprised. She thought that she had slept well. Although she was not awake, she was not aware of the fighting happening near the camp, especially for an activity like conquering Pokémon, which was quite noisy.
She thought that she slept very well, so she couldn't feel it at all.
At this time, Barry also crawled out of the tent, his hair was as messy as a chicken coop, and his eyes had not yet fully opened:
"What? What Absol? Eat Absol for breakfast? That's not a punishment..."
"..."
Absol's body stiffened, and the look he looked at Barry became dangerous.
It wants to run away now.
"... Who said I was going to eat it!" Dawn held her forehead, Barry her mind was astonished Ruby.
"Barry, besides eating, can you think of anything else?"
Zoey also came out. He had changed his clothes and combed his hair, looking fresh and beautiful.
Barry puffed up his chest and said proudly, "Yes, I can fight, become stronger, and become a champion... My future Victory Road is just around the corner."
"Ah, okay, okay."
Xiaoyun complained, "You sleep like a spirit like Snorlax. Your snoring is so loud that I can hear it from the tent next door. Be the champion in your dream."
"Slander! You are outright slander! You are slandering me!"
Barry pointed at Xiaoyun with a sad and angry expression. "Rest never snores, we are always quiet, and we are almost the same as Skitty!"
"Um, are you sure it's Skitty, not Loudred?" Zoey last hits.
"... You gang up on me."
Barry Squat on the ground and draw a circle Curse for you.
Everyone just thought it was fun, and just teasing Barry after getting up was considered to be a good way to cultivate their sentiments.
"Wait, that's not the point!"
Barry suddenly reacted and pointed at Xiaoyun: "You secretly conquered Pokémon alone. This is betraying the organization! We agreed to team up for an expedition!"
"Oh, by the way, I not only conquered Pokémon. I also exploded equipment."
Xiaoyun seemed to have just remembered, then he took out the Mega Stone with red lines from his pocket and waved it in front of Barry.
The sunlight shines on the stone, reflecting the dark red luster, which looks mysterious and attractive.
Barry's eyes widened instantly, and he lost all sleep.
"Holy crap! You really got it! What Baru said is actually true? You are not fooling people! This can really bring out Mega Stone!"
He rushed over, trying to grab the stone, but Xiaoyun's hand shrank, and he missed.
"You're so deep in sleep, I guess even if Absol were to jump on your face, you would only think it was a facial massage, and you would think it was not stepping hard enough."
Xiaoyun said while putting the stone away.
It sounds reasonable...
But Barry was not convinced. "Then you can shake me awake! Pour me with cold water! Or you can let Empoleon nourish me with Hydro Pump!"
"Hey, what kind of weird perverted request are you making?"
Zoey showed a "you're hopeless" expression.
"Abo..."
Absol Now I am very sure that this yellow-haired human being has something wrong with his brain.
Just when a few people gathered around, studying Mega Stone like appraising antiques, Barry became more confident and prepared to explore if there were other places to spawn monsters.
At this moment, there was a sharp sound breaking through the sky!
Everyone looked up.
I saw a meteor falling rapidly from high altitude!
Boom--!!!
The meteor crashed into the open space a hundred meters away from the camp, causing a violent explosion!
The ground shook, smoke and dust rose into the sky, and Tackle waves made the tent rattle.
"Damn it! There's an enemy attack!"
Barry instantly entered fighting mode and immediately picked up the pan next to him and held it in front of him.
"You tnnd, even if Elite Four comes, you will put the pan down for the labor and management! That is what the labor and management use to eat!"
Xiaoyun snatched the pan and checked distressedly to see if it was damaged.
Using a pan as a shield, do you think you are Red Wolf? Are you having fun?
Barry smiled.
Dawn and Zoey also quickly moved closer and looked in the direction where Smokescreen exploded.
The smoke slowly dispersed, revealing a large Tackle pit. At the bottom of the pit, a strange-looking Pokémon was standing up, shaking its head.
It looks like a giant turtle standing upright, but has a more steampunk style.
The main body is fiery red, with a pair of triangular ears on the top of its head, and four orange-yellow spindle-shaped structures arranged on the lower chest, like some kind of exhaust vent.
There is a pair of thick and thick cylindrical arms on its back, which look like gun barrels and resemble an arched door when closed.
"Didi."
Rotom, which had not appeared for a long time, automatically flew out. It flew above the Pokémon, its camera eyes flashed, and it began to scan:
"Volcanion, Steam Pokémon"
"Attributes: Water + Fire!"
"Introduction: The only water and fire Mythical Pokémon, the two cylindrical arms on the back are the soul! Red stripes will warn you when you are short of water, and when you are full of water, the blue stripes will become fully charged!"
"It is said that when the amount of Water Absorb is enough, the released Steam Eruption energy is enough to flatten a mountain Rotom!"
