Chapter 158 Firefly vs. Shadow of the Overlord! A Different Kind of Licking! The Correct Way to Open
Chapter 158 Firefly vs. Shadow of the Overlord! A Different Kind of Licking! The Correct Way to Open Snivy!
[Use exclusive skill: Shadow of the Overlord?]
[Target Audience: Firefly]
[Estimated Cost: 10000 Influence Points]
"Hmm? A level 10 Snorlax costs 10,000 points, and a level 8 Litten also costs 10,000 points?"
Ye Yinchuan suspected that the system was creating shady accounts.
It's probably rounded up or down.
Now let's talk about it.
Litten's level was already surpassed by Munchlax.
The Suicune Elixir, due to its type, leveled up Munchlax by 3 levels, but had little effect on Litten.
So while Litten has improved, it is still lagging behind.
In short, it's enough to know that Litten is currently level 8, which is 2 levels lower than Munchlax.
Ye Yinchuan didn't hesitate.
Currently, Munchlax and Litten are probably in the same tier, so they consume the same number of points.
Accompanied by the evaporation of 10,000 points.
The effect of [Shadow of the Overlord] has been activated.
The familiar shadow extended from beneath Ye Yinchuan's feet, merging with the shadow beneath the Firefly's feet, combining in some way, and then giving birth to a domineering shadow in the form of the Firefly.
Completely black, its appearance is exactly the same as Litten, except that its eyes are even colder, like a machine...
Oh no, maybe it should be called a cat machine.
"Meow!"
Litten had just observed Munchlax's battle, so it was already on guard.
The moment the Overlord's Shadow appeared, it used a "roar," a sound mixed with energy that momentarily disoriented the Overlord's Shadow.
The Firefly immediately grabbed the target.
The effectiveness of the last training session is clearly visible; the impact of this move was very effective.
Energy adhered to the claws, leaving three streaks in the air as it struck the face of the Overlord's Shadow.
But then the overlord's shadow appeared, arching his body and using "tongue lick".
Both involve "licking," but this Litten version is completely different from the Munchlax version.
The Ghost-type energy tongue condensed and, like some kind of hidden weapon, shot out at an extremely fast speed, quickly licking Litten's armpit.
"……Meow!"
That ghost-type energy sent chills down one's spine instantly, and the tingling sensation made Litten extremely uncomfortable, causing its movements to become distorted. This resulted in the inability to maintain the follow-up power of its "claw" attack, and its speed also faltered.
The Overlord's Shadow, taking advantage of the situation, dodged and countered with a "grab".
The power of this "grab" is so-so, but its speed is incredibly fast.
Three scratch marks were left on the Litten's body, causing it immense pain.
"Sang Biao..."
Upon seeing this, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety.
Pokémon possess extraordinary power, and injuries are inevitable during battles and training.
But seeing the Firefly's bloody wounds, Ye Yinchuan felt a pang of heartache.
At the same time, he realized that he had made a mistake.
Because Litten held back somewhat during its battle with Munchlax.
Last time, Munchlax only got a charred patch on its butt, and it hasn't fully healed yet, although it's not a big deal...
Now, Litten is being tortured by the Shadow of the Overlord, and it will really get hurt!
Scratches and burns are inevitable.
Ye Yinchuan had not foreseen this, nor had he prepared any medicine or similar items.
I just thought of this step.
On the Overlord's side, a "spark" appeared the instant the Firefly landed.
A fireball was spit out at the feet of the Litten, giving it no chance to react.
Or rather, even if there is a reaction, even if you know in advance, there is simply no room to avoid it.
"Meow!"
The moment the Litten touched the ground, it almost bounced up to minimize the damage from the "Spark".
There were burn marks on his feet.
In other words, the damage effect of fire-type attacks against fire-type attacks is not particularly noticeable.
Otherwise, Litten would definitely be burned by now!
Litten landed and rolled over, spitting out a "spark".
The two fireballs collided in mid-air with a loud crack, illuminating the surrounding space.
"How come he's kind of handsome?"
Considering the injury to the Firefly, Ye Yinchuan was already thinking about whether he should recall the Overlord's Shadow ahead of schedule.
But seeing that Litten was getting used to the rhythm of the battle and reacting faster, he remained silent.
Litten is proud.
Snorlax completed the trial of the Shadow of the Overlord, although it lost badly, at least it persevered.
If you forcibly interrupt, it would be disrespectful to Litten.
Ye Yinchuan could only pray that the Overlord's Shadow would go easy on him and not hurt his Firefly too badly.
In the clash of the two fireballs, the Shadow of the Overlord undoubtedly emerged slightly victorious.
The opponent's power was superior, and the flames from the explosion sprayed towards Litten.
Litten Cat used this to its advantage, quickly changing its position and gathering momentum for a "Spark," intending to attack the Overlord's Shadow the instant the obstruction disappeared.
however.
The sparks dissipated, but Firecat still couldn't see the Overlord's shadow.
"It's up there!"
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but shout in his heart, yet he didn't want to make a sound and ruin the duel.
He did not give any instructions or help when Munchlax was being tortured by the Shadow of the Overlord.
In that case, we should treat Litten the same way.
This is true respect!
The Litten quickly surveyed its surroundings, holding flames in its mouth, but had no target.
As the saying goes, "When I draw my sword and look around, I am filled with confusion."
Its pupils contracted, and it looked up sharply, only to see a fireball coming from above, like a small sun falling.
It is the shadow of the overlord!
Just as Litten was about to use its line of sight to its advantage, Shadow of the Overlord swiftly used the terrain and its agility to leap into the air.
From a superior vantage point, they observed the movements of the Firefly.
The Overlord's Shadow didn't even land before taking the next step; instead, it charged up in mid-air and unleashed "sparks"!
"Absolutely brilliant!"
Seeing this Firefly version of the Overlord's Shadow, Ye Yinchuan was filled with admiration.
Although the version of Totem Shadow with Munchlax is also very powerful, it is surprisingly strong.
However, the latter is somewhat reliant on brute force and is rather cumbersome.
The former, on the other hand, is agile and has the ability to control fire, making it a very entertaining and captivating sight!
In particular, this aerial "spark" move can be considered an extended application of the "spark" move.
It requires considerable skill to execute.
This is similar to how an average person can't sing while running because their breath becomes unstable.
Singers can do that because they have better control over their breath.
The same principle applies to spirit energy.
If one doesn't have mastery over the energy of spirits, at a certain level, let alone jumping up and releasing "sparks".
Even releasing "sparks" while moving is quite difficult.
There's also the issue of accuracy.
When releasing the weapon in the air, you need to seize the opportunity because both your position and the enemy's position are constantly changing. You must find the right angle and anticipate the situation in advance.
The timing of the Overlord's Shadow was extremely precise.
It was almost as if it had been planned in advance; the moment the flames that were obscuring the view disappeared, the fireball had already covered the head of the Litsea Cat.
"Meow!"
Litten spat out flames just before the fireball hit.
But it lacked power and was too close, so the result was... it exploded on the spot!
boom!
Amidst the fiery explosions, Flame Cat must have been injured.
"Sang Biao..."
Ye Yinchuan was somewhat worried.
He had already decided that as soon as the battle ended, he would take Litten to the nearest clinic.
The clinic is open until 3 a.m., so there should still be enough time.
"Meow!"
Just when Ye Yinchuan thought that Fire Spotted Cat was probably going to collapse.
With a fierce cry, the Firefly burst out of the flames at incredible speed.
Ye Yinchuan could see some charred parts on the Fire Spotted Cat's body, as well as curly fur that was still glowing with fire.
Its eyes were firm, full of determination and resolve.
Before the fight started, Litten was a little nervous.
Having fought this far, Litten is now fully focused on fighting, and all it can think about is...
I'm going to kill you, you idiot!
"Great, that's very energetic!"
Hearing the Fire-Spotted Cat's thoughts, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but cheer inwardly.
"Well done, you didn't embarrass yourself!"
That's why they say, "Birds of a feather flock together."
Munchlax has its own fierceness; it's usually gentle and docile, but when it fights, it becomes ruthless and fearless.
Litten Cat also has its own persistence and strong will. It is usually extremely arrogant, but when it fights, it will not give up until it achieves its goal.
Now, Firefly is just trying to prove himself.
Even if we can't win in the end, we should still teach the Shadow of the Overlord a lesson.
Actually, Litten Cat's condition was already very bad.
Whether it's physical strength, energy, or the extent of the injury, they are already at their limit.
But the more this happens, the more likely it is to explode!
The reason is simple...
Litten knew that while the Overlord's Shadow's jump attack was very effective, it wasn't a Flying-type and would eventually have to land.
Just like how the Overlord's Shadow used the moment Litten landed to launch an attack.
Even the Flame Cat will retaliate in kind!
While you are sick, I will kill you!
"Is this considered a talent for combat? Or is Sang Biao just very clever?"
Ye Yinchuan sighed inwardly.
Firefly Cat has learned from the opponent's techniques and is seizing this opportunity.
The only difference is that the opponent used "Spark," while Litten used "Scratch"...
Our main focus is close-quarters combat; if you're not convinced, then fight!
"Meow!"
To Ye Yinchuan's slight surprise, the Firefly Cat ultimately used not just a "scratch," but its self-created ultimate move, the "Shadowless Kick of the Mighty Beast"...
Litten used the wall beside it for leverage, double-jumped, and unleashed a flurry of kicks and scratches at the descending Overlord Shadow...
It's clear that the previous training on "grabbing" was effective.
Because the Firefly Cat's "Shadowless Kick" now also has some "clawing" effects, its power has increased significantly compared to the beginning.
As the saying goes, even a novice can defeat a master with a flurry of punches.
The Shadow of the Overlord replicates the abilities of Litten, and is an enhanced version.
However, it might not have taken this trick seriously, so it's as if the cat machine doesn't have this program.
Faced with the Lizard Cat's attack, the Overlord Shadow only retaliated with a "scratch".
As a result, he got a beating from Litten.
But the Firefly Cat took a solid hit to the abdomen, and after exhausting its strength, it fell from mid-air with a thud.
The Shadow of the Overlord adjusted its balance in mid-air and landed safely.
However, judging from the wounds on his body, he still looked disheveled.
Litten was no match for the other cat, but it wasn't completely overwhelmed!
However, the Firefly had also lost all its strength and was almost motionless, just panting heavily.
"Sang Biao!"
The Overlord's Shadow was automatically recycled, feeding back to itself and Firefly.
Ye Yinchuan rushed over immediately to check on the injuries.
Upon closer inspection, the Litsea cat had obvious scratches on its sides and abdomen, penetrating its skin and leaving it bloody, and there were also many charred parts on its body.
"The burns aren't too serious, but these scratches..."
Ye Yinchuan looked distressed. He used [Heavenly Hands] to soothe the Fire Spotted Cat, which could be considered a special kind of pain relief.
Firefly was also weak and was wincing in pain.
But after being comforted by the [Heavenly Healer], she felt much better...
Ye Yinchuan never expected that this "Heavenly Master" would also have a pain-relieving effect.
Come to think of it, the comfort of being in paradise, coupled with mental soothing, is exactly the kind of pain relief and calming effect, isn't it?
In case my Pokémon needs surgery in the future.
Nothing else is needed, just numbness in your hand will do.
"Kirby, get up, let's go to the clinic and then go home."
When Ye Yinchuan said this, there was an inexplicable sense of sorrow.
They were fine when they left, but when they came back, they were all bruised and battered.
The little Munchlax is a bit better; at most, it only suffers internal injuries.
The Fire-spotted Cat is truly bloody.
To the uninitiated, it would seem as if they were engaged in a life-or-death battle in the wild!
"Click..."
The little Snorlax looked listless.
The battle with the Shadow of the Overlord nearly emptied its body, and it won't be easy to recover in the blink of an eye.
But it was still sensible; it supported its body and stood up shakily.
Don't think that just a short battle is an exaggeration.
Anyone with combat experience knows that real fighting is completely different from running or fitness. It involves a surge of hormones, mobilizing the entire body...
Moreover, energy is also involved in Pokémon battles.
The Overlord's Shadow is just a little stronger than the main body, and it doesn't hold back, so even a minute of fighting is a crazy drain on its strength.
When someone is truly unable to fight, they have been completely drained, with not a single drop left.
"Kirby, have a bite of the rations under your armpit to help you recover."
Ye Yinchuan reminded him.
The little Snorlax pulled out a handful from under its armpit, put it in its mouth, and when it didn't seem to work, pulled out another handful.
His complexion seemed to have improved.
But when I tried to take it out again, it was gone.
"Recycling—imagine your food is still under your armpit…"
Ye Yinchuan was slightly choked up.
He still doesn't quite understand what role the concept of "recycling" can play in actual combat.
But at least it's come in handy now.
The little Snorlax ate two more bites of food, which slightly boosted its spirits.
If you still want some, then there really isn't any left.
"No grain under the armpit" is a category.
Ye Yinchuan, carrying the Fire-Spotted Cat, hurriedly ran to the clinic.
Seeing the brightly lit clinic, Ye Yinchuan felt a little more at ease, at least Firefly's injuries could be treated to some extent.
He also felt a little guilty:
"While injuries during training are understandable, I still didn't think things through enough. If I had considered things one step further, Litten wouldn't have gotten injured and I wouldn't have been completely helpless..."
"Meow……"
Firefly Cat looked at Ye Yinchuan, who seemed to be blaming himself.
He actually reached out his hand, but he was too weak to lift it.
Hearing the Firefly's inner thoughts, Ye Yinchuan was certain that the Firefly was just trying to comfort him!
"Thank you, Flame-Spotted Cat..."
Perhaps because it was too tired, Firefly Cat was no longer arrogant; it just had a slight upturn at the corners of its mouth.
Even when I'm completely exhausted, I can still lie in this human's arms and completely let go of everything...
It doesn't seem so bad, meow?
Grass Leaf Clinic.
Ye Yinchuan rushed in, carrying the Fire-Spotted Cat.
The little Snorlax followed weakly behind.
The person sitting in the clinic today is not Dr. Bai, but a young girl.
Seeing Ye Yinchuan's hurried and energetic demeanor, she immediately stood up.
"What's wrong?"
Upon closer inspection, seeing the Firefly's injuries, she showed concern:
"How did it get hurt like this? Is this child... your Pokémon?"
"This is my fault..."
While blaming himself, Ye Yinchuan found it difficult to explain, "It's my Pokémon, please treat its injuries!"
The girl observed carefully:
"The burns aren't too serious, but they still need some treatment. The main problem is the scratches; the wounds have all reopened... But my dad took some chrysanthemum leaves back to his hometown, so we can only try to stitch up the wounds and apply some ointment."
"Then let's get started as soon as possible. Is there anything I can help with?"
Ye Yinchuan was also very anxious.
He didn't want to delay the injury of the Firefly Cat for even a second longer.
"Alas! That child's words might help it. But that child has a very strange temper and is completely unruly..."
The girl thought for a moment and muttered to herself.
"That child? Is it a Pokémon?"
Ye Yinchuan seemed to have grasped something and pressed, "Please call it out, as long as it can help Firefly!"
The girl glanced at Ye Yinchuan.
She found this strange; this was a city, how could a Pokémon be so badly injured?
At first, she thought it was intentional abuse.
However, upon closer inspection, the injuries on Litten's body appeared to have been caused by a fellow Fire-type Pokémon that uses grab-type moves, or even by one of its own kind.
What exactly happened to cause the fight to escalate to this extent?
Why would this young man, who clearly cares so much about his Pokémon, let it get hurt like this?
The girl's bright eyes held a great deal of confusion.
But she also knew that the injury was the more serious concern.
There's no point in dwelling on this now, or blaming the owner without knowing the truth.
"Give it a try. If we can get that kid's help, Litten will suffer less."
As she spoke, the girl turned around and took out a Poké Ball.
She pressed herself against the edge of the Poké Ball, pressed the button, and then spoke softly:
"Sorry to disturb your sleep at this hour, but it's really important!"
This is one way to summon Pokémon from their Poké Balls.
Pressing the button will break the soundproofing of the Poké Ball, and then you can call out to the Pokémon inside clearly.
This is one of the principles, or mechanisms, of the Poké Ball.
When Ye Yinchuan first learned about it, he was also amazed.
This also explains why in anime, before anyone throws the ball, they always say something like:
"It's you I've chosen, so-and-so!"
Feelings are a kind of code.
Of course, there are also cases where Pokémon hide inside their Poké Balls and refuse to come out.
At this point, some special techniques are needed, which will not be discussed here.
The Poké Ball opened as soon as the girl called out to it.
A red light landed, and a Pokémon appeared.
"This is……"
Ye Yinchuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the Pokémon in front of him.
This is a Grass-type Pokémon, and one of the more well-known starter Pokémon.
Its shape resembles a small snake that has come to life, standing in an S-shaped curve with an inexplicably elegant posture.
Its body is mostly green, with large eyes and yellow markings like eyeshadow. Its shoulders have a collar-like or lily-like structure, and its tail ends in a large leaf with three forks.
This Pokémon is Snivy.
Aromatherapy!
Ye Yinchuan noticed that the Snivy panel actually had the "Aromatherapy" move.
Originally, he came to the Chikusa Clinic because he thought there was a Chikusa who knew the same move.
But neither Dr. White nor the chicory leaf are here.
If we have this Snivy as a substitute, it serves the same purpose.
The girl glanced at Ye Yinchuan in surprise, not expecting that this young man could recognize her vine snake's ability to perform aromatherapy at a glance.
Snivy, which can perform aromatherapy, is extremely rare, both in the Pokémon games and in this world.
In the game, for example, whether it's leveling up or using egg moves, Snivy cannot learn Aromatherapy.
Only the Snivy given away as a gift during the event will come with it!
"I hope I won't disappoint..."
The girl muttered to herself, because she knew this vine snake was difficult to control.
After the Snivy came out, it yawned, looking as if it were none of its business.
However, it quickly smelled blood, noticed the Firefly's injuries, and couldn't help but take a closer look.
"Snivy, use 'aromatherapy' to help this poor child!"
The girl gave the instructions.
however.
Sniper raised its chin, completely ignoring him, and turned its head to the side.
"It really didn't work..."
The girl felt somewhat guilty.
This is simply delaying the time needed to treat the injuries!
Seeing this, Ye Yinchuan's expression shifted, and he spoke:
"Snivy, you absolutely must not help this child, and you must not use your aromatherapy..."
Just as the girl was wondering why Ye Yinchuan would say such strange things.
When the vine snake turns its head, its tail wags.
Driven by the energy of Grass-type Pokémon, flowers and leaves condensed and wafted towards Litten with a fragrant breeze.
Then, he looked at Ye Yinchuan with a provocative expression.
It's as if it's saying, "You won't let me help, but I'll help anyway!"
Ye Yinchuan was both amused and exasperated. Thanks to the panel, he had figured it out at a glance.
This Snivy has the "Contrarian" ability and the "Adamant" personality, making it extremely negative, coupled with the childlike nature of Pokémon...
It completely contradicts whatever you say!
Once you understand this, it's like having mastered the user manual for this Snivy, allowing you to handle it with ease.
The girl opened her mouth and looked at Ye Yinchuan in disbelief.
at the same time.
The injuries on the Firefly Cat's body have healed slightly thanks to the "aromatherapy" effect, especially the burns, which have faded quite noticeably.
Unfortunately, aromatherapy is primarily designed for abnormal conditions.
But for the Flame-Spotted Cat right now, receiving such treatment can greatly alleviate its pain.
"Snivy, what did you just do? Please don't do it again!"
Ye Yinchuan said deliberately.
Sniper raised an eyebrow.
What it hears automatically translates to: What? You want me to do it again?
Aromatherapy!
"don't want……"
Aromatherapy!
If the effect isn't enough, make up for it with more repetitions!
Thanks to Ye Yinchuan's correct approach, the Firefly's injuries were reduced to mere superficial wounds.
Snivy, on the other hand, was panting heavily.
Its level is not high, so using energy so frequently consumes a lot of energy.
But Ye Yinchuan had no doubt that if he just talked, the other party would continue to cause trouble.
Similar to a negative personality.
Regardless of whether there are any benefits or not, just deny them immediately.
This snail has a bad habit: if you tell it to go east, it will definitely go west; it's also very efficient at following orders!
"How...how did you do that...?"
The girl stared in disbelief, then felt a bitter taste in her mouth. "This child is still young, please let it go!"
The snail, not to be outdone, launched another "aromatherapy" treatment!
Ye Yinchuan shrugged; he didn't say anything this time...
The girl stopped talking.
The vine snake was panting, and the green color on its body had faded.
Then look at the little Snorlax next to me, silent and dozing with its eyes half-closed.
Anyone who didn't know better would think they were giving Snivy special training!
Seeing that the Fire-spotted Cat was not seriously injured, some medicine was applied and the wound was bandaged.
Ye Yinchuan's gaze also fell on the Fire-Spotted Cat's interface—
The Shadow of the Overlord looms over us.
Now that you're at ease, you can look forward to something.
What kind of boost will Litten and Munchlax receive after they recover...?
Only in this way can we determine exactly how effective the Shadow of the Overlord is!
I updated late at noon, so the evening update is also delayed... Just finished typing! Here's an update of 12,000-13,000 words! The Shadow of the Overlord and the training storylines are basically over!
