Chapter 108: Zoroark Finally Evolves
Chapter 108: Zoroark Finally Evolves
Without a moment's hesitation, Die Shi Ban turned and ran, but at that moment, there was no way for it to escape.
The Snow Fairy had already appeared behind him, accompanied by wind and snow. With a sudden gust of wind, the "Frozen Wind" swept across, forcing the Stacked Board back along its original path.
The Die Shi Ban instantly transformed into a dark shadow, dodging outwards at lightning speed close to the ground, only to be pinned to the spot by a feathered arrow with a "thud."
The broken board struggled a few times, but finding it couldn't break free, it gave up and returned to its original form, its single eye filled with rage.
"Fine, fine, since you're pushing me so hard, I'll fight you to the death and take someone down with me."
In his despair, the Desperate Plate also erupted with a death wish, unleashing all its energy, and the pitch-black "Shadow Claw" swiftly shot out.
The Snow Fairy met the attack with her "Frozen Ray," and wherever the cold air passed, ice crystals formed in the air.
When the icy white light struck the "Shadow Claw," the large hand formed from condensed black energy began to slowly freeze.
However, as the stacking plate exerted its force, the ice pillar began to shake until it shattered, eventually being scattered into countless ice crystal fragments.
Before the stacked board could control the "Shadow Claw" to strike, another identical ghostly hand reached out from behind and slapped it on the back.
The one who struck was Mimikyu, which slammed the Stacked Board to the ground and then held it down firmly.
The latter, of course, would not close its eyes and wait for death; the runes all over its body suddenly lit up with a stone-brown light.
The next moment, layers of brownish-red energy orbs began to condense above Lin Ye and the Pokémon's heads.
The orbs of light overhead gradually solidified, and in the blink of an eye, they condensed into dozens of giant rocks the size of bathtubs, which then fell indiscriminately downwards.
"Huh~, they've even mastered the Rock-type 'Rock Slide,' and the power is pretty good too. Not bad!"
The next moment, Lin Ye's Pokémon displayed their unique abilities. Froslass unleashed "Ice Wind," sweeping away some of the rocks, while Decidueye fired a dense barrage of "Rapid Leaf Blades," shattering the remaining falling rocks.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the other Pokémon swarmed in and took turns slicing through the Lost Plate!
"Shadow Ball", "Regret Sword", and "Ambush to the Vital Points" all landed on him.
"You have no martial ethics!"
Die Shiban only had time to let out this final, unwilling howl before he was completely knocked unconscious by the concentrated fire.
"It's not honorable to bully the few with numbers, but it just feels good!"
Without hesitation, Lin Ye placed his hand on the stone slab body covered with runes, and immediately activated the Soul Refining Technique.
Pure ghost energy surged from the body of the Die Shi Ban and gradually condensed into a dark energy ball in Lin Ye's hand, just like he had done before.
But this time, only Lin Ye could sense something different. As he absorbed the energy, he could vaguely feel some important memories that had been fragmented and intermittent in the past.
The setting I remember was probably an ancient altar, and the Crying Mask was created amidst a pile of messy offerings.
Perhaps it was because the ghostly aura there was so strong that the Die Shi Ban didn't take too long to complete its evolution and gained this "professional" level strength.
But the good times didn't last long. The Devi was discovered by a stronger Pokémon near the altar. It was a Dusknoir with unfathomable strength, which made the Devi flee in the night without even having the courage to put up a fight.
Lin Ye guessed that the Night Demon was most likely a terrifying being at the "Master" level.
After that, Die Shiban found his way here and settled down. However, because the energy and resources here were not very good, and his own talent was not high, his strength had not made any major breakthroughs until now.
As for why Lin Ye was able to sense some of the lost memories, he figured it must be related to the latter's characteristics.
"Wandering Spirit"! This is an ability that can affect and change the characteristics of other Pokémon upon contact, which may be why certain memories are transferred when absorbing energy.
Lin Ye stopped after extracting enough ghost energy this time, without damaging the essence of the Die Shi Ban. The Die Shi Ban will recover naturally after a period of weakness.
With his current strength, the power of a "professional" Pokémon is no longer so urgent for him, so there is no need for him to take advantage of it.
Moreover, he also planned to manage Mount Song. Although Die Shi Ban wasn't particularly talented, as a genuine "professional" Ghost Pokémon, he could serve as a qualified agent for a region.
Afterwards, because Lin Ye had held back and still had some strength left, he said tremblingly:
"What kind of technique is this? Why am I so weak?!"
"Hehe~, you should be able to feel it. If I hadn't held back, you would have been sucked away and your soul would have been scattered."
Upon hearing this, Die Shiban's weak soul trembled, almost collapsing on the spot in fright.
"Alright, since I've spared you, I don't intend to kill you outright."
With so many ghosts on this sacred mountain, we need someone who has the final say. From now on, you'll work for me.
When you're free, gather information and resources about this area for me. I'll let you know if anything unusual happens.
"This~"
"What~, you don't want to? Then you're no use to me at all~"
"No, no, no~, I'm willing, I'm willing~, if you spare my life, I will repay the kindness and help you dominate the sacred mountain."
"Good, good, good! You're at least sensible!"
Lin Ye smiled, turned around, and handed the ghostly energy that was absorbing it to Soroya in front of him.
This time, none of their companions felt jealous, as they all knew that Zoroar was the first Pokémon to follow Lin Ye.
But now, due to various accidents and circumstances, it is the only companion that has not yet reached the "professional level".
As Lin Ye's starter Pokémon, Zoroar watched as his later companions surpassed it in strength one by one. While he wasn't exactly jealous, he was still somewhat anxious.
But at this moment, Soroya's gaze was calm, yet it revealed a certain profoundness, as if it had already sensed the transformation that was about to begin.
Under the pitying gaze of the little fox beside him, the fox swallowed the energy in one gulp. Its aura surged instantly, and a layer of light, as expected, enveloped its body. Its figure grew rapidly in the light, and its four little feet turned into two legs!
"Bang!"
As the light faded, the small fox that had been fixed in size had transformed into the dashing Zoroark.
"Gurgle~~"
Zoroark raised its head and let out a long, triumphant roar. Stimulated by the energy, it finally completed its evolution, which in turn brought it even greater strength!
Zoroark has now reached the "professional level", which gives Lin Ye a luxurious lineup with all "professional" members.
Afterwards, Zoroark demonstrated to Lin Ye the skills it had acquired after evolving, which included:
"Shadow Claw", "Psychic", "U-Touch", "Shadow Ball", and "Restless"!
