Chapter 150 The Elves Resurrected from Ancient Times
"It's a dharma baboon and a ribbed sea turtle!"
Gazing at the Pokémon figures appearing in the distance, Touko, a local resident of the Unova region, immediately recognized their species, but the girl's expression did not soften: "But why are they so big?"
The two elves, which should have been less than a person's height, were somehow three times the size of their kind, reaching almost five meters in height, equivalent to two stories high.
The Bodhi baboon is entirely red, with two rows of large white teeth on its enormous face, making it particularly eerie in the firelight; the Rib Turtle's body is covered in a deep blue shell, like a prehistoric behemoth crawling out of the sea.
As they approached N, the contrast between their human body proportions became even more pronounced. They didn't resemble Pokémon; instead, they looked more like giant statues carved from two rocky mountains.
The two Pokémon, with different attributes and colors, have one thing in common: their eyes are fixed on Azure and Fighting, burning with anger and resentment.
"There's a fairly reasonable explanation for the size of the Daruma baboon and the ribbed turtle," Hugo's voice suddenly rang out, the white-coated detective now standing behind the two girls—
"Daruma can transform into a stone-carved Daruma form and enter a dormant state, while Rib Turtle itself is a fossil Pokémon that was once considered extinct. By combining these two points with a little association with the area you are in, you can roughly guess their origins."
"What do you mean?" Douzi was confused and instead became concerned about something unimportant, "Hugo, is your throat uncomfortable? Your voice sounds a bit strange."
"I see." The assistant, understanding the detective's meaning, immediately deduced a highly probable hypothesis—
"Those two Pokémon were originally ancient Pokémon buried deep underground! Darmanitan was buried deep in the soil in the form of a stone sculpture, while Turtwig was probably dormant in an unknown underground waterway ruin. They were awakened by the industrial area's underground excavation and development, and then moved to the shallow surface here. They must have been full of resentment towards humans for disturbing them, which is why they accepted N's summons."
"But the development team and factory that woke them up have already moved away! Why are you taking your anger out on us?"
Douzi complained with a resentful look on his face.
She is currently squatting on the ground, using a Special Attack Boost item on her Mudfish—this item doesn't have the same effect as a move boost in battle, but it won't waste the Pokémon's HP either.
"No, the anger of these two Pokémon is not directed at any specific human individual."
Azure, who has considerable knowledge of ancient Pokémon, explained—
"Humans' different identities are meaningless to these spirits. Just as we wouldn't care about the difference between two stones or two plants, they, who have been sleeping for thousands of years, wouldn't carefully distinguish their targets when venting their anger, and now we are unfortunately the unfortunate targets. But... if they harbor resentment towards humans, why didn't they cause a ruckus when they first emerged from the ground, instead of waiting until now?"
“N has the ability to rouse Pokémon with words. Perhaps it was his mutterings that helped these two Pokémon completely shake off their sluggish state after reviving… But Blue Sister, now doesn’t seem like the time to analyze these issues, does it?”
Douzi was now ready for battle. The light from the Poké Ball shone, and another emerald green Serperior appeared before him.
She looked warily at the approaching swarm of wild Pokémon: "My other weapons are exhausted, but N can keep summoning new wild Pokémon. Little Blue, to win this battle, you have no choice but to..."
“I understand.” Azure nodded in tacit agreement, indicating that there was no need to continue. She had already figured out the only way to defeat the enemy at present.
Strike the snake at its vital point, capture the kingpin! Wild battles don't have the same rules and regulations as official competitions, making it impossible for the opposing trainer to continue commanding, which is undoubtedly the most effective strategy.
N's wild Pokémon had surged like a tide at the exit of the industrial park. Azure and Touko stood with their backs to the exit, taking the place of the original Flame King, facing off against the wild Pokémon. Beside them was the wall of the abandoned industrial park.
"Is the attack fully charged? Then unleash it." The King of Team Plasma spoke gently, as if greeting a friend he had just met on the road.
However, the two elves beside him reacted differently: the Darmo Baboon burst into red flames, while the Rib Turtle condensed a "water cannon" in its mouth.
"Wouldn't releasing water and fire skills together cancel each other out? What is N trying to do?" Douzi wondered.
"He's trying to use the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to destroy the walls and let the wild elves into the city. Attack immediately, before they can use their skills!"
Behind the two, Hugo spoke again, his reasoning hitting the nail on the head.
Upon hearing the detective's advice, the two girls focused their attention and acted without hesitation.
"Eevee, use 'Dynamic Star' on Baboon!"
"Monarch Serpent, attack Rib Turtle with Leaf Storm! Mudfish, unleash Mud Shot for cover!"
Unfortunately, the interception move was launched hastily and was blocked by the densely packed wild Pokémon on the outside before it could even reach Daruma and Rib Turtle.
The Daruma baboon opened its mouth wide and unleashed the "Overheat" attack on the wall. Following the flames, a jet of water shot out.
"Oh no!" Douzi cried out in despair.
This earthen wall in the industrial area has been abandoned for many years and absolutely cannot withstand the impact of these two skills, one cold and one hot!
Rumble!
After the deafening roar, sparks and water vapor rose into the sky, and the wall, which had been hit with full force, remained completely unharmed.
However, in front of that fragile wall stood a tortoise shell as solid as a rock.
"Phew, I finally made it."
Azure patted her chest, and her old partner Blastoise emerged from its shell, its limbs and head emerging as it slowly stood up. Despite having withstood the full force of two Ancient Pokémon's attacks, Blastoise seemed completely unharmed.
"Now, it's our turn to fight back." The girl adjusted her sun hat and, taking advantage of the ancient elf's momentary lapse in concentration after casting her spell, issued the long-planned command—
"Gengar, Harvest!"
In the distance, behind N, the king of the plasma clusters, a chubby little purple hand suddenly emerged from the shadow of the Rib Turtle!
Then, Gengar, its entire body enveloped in black ghost energy, leaped out of the ground and pounced on the opponent's trainer before anyone could react—
Ghost-type move, "Phantom Strike"!
The target is N's back!
If they can take the King of Team Plasma hostage, this battle will end in an absolute victory for the girls—from the moment the battle broke out, Azur Lane had already been preparing for this attack.
However, Azure's carefully planned attack failed to achieve its intended effect.
Just as Gengar's Shadow Claws touched N's back, ripples mysteriously spread out in front of it, and N's figure, which had been standing there, vanished silently like a bubble in the sunlight.
"It's an illusion! Could Zoroark be nearby too?"
Douzi instantly realized that he had seen a Zoroark next to N when they met on their journey.
But N never tried to catch Pokémon. Unexpectedly, that Pokémon that controlled illusions is still by the side of the lone king.
"If N over there is an illusion, then where is his real body?"
At this moment, Azure thought of an even more serious problem.
