Chapter 128 Gang Fight
Chapter 128 Gang Fight
The Odd-Colored Swellow was deflected by the light wall and sent flying. The remaining psychic energy waves twisted and expanded as they enveloped him, intending to eliminate this strongest fighter first.
However, seeing that Swellow was being suppressed, Naki's other Pokémon unleashed a barrage of moves, including "Air Blade" and "Dark Pulse," completely depleting the remaining power that Squidward had gathered.
At the same time, Lin Ye's Pokémon seized the opportunity, unleashing a barrage of various energy waves at the former, taking advantage of Squidward's focus on Swellow to deliver a solid blow to it.
Even a peak "Gym Leader" would find it extremely difficult to withstand a single attack from so many Pokémon at the same time, and couldn't help but let out a painful howl.
It immediately flew into a rage, opened its sharp, bird-like beak, and let out a piercing screech!
Its cry transformed into a pink, tangible sonic ring, expanding towards where Lin Ye and his companion were—it was actually a superpower called "psychic noise!"
"Swellow, 'Brave Bird Attack!' The rest of you cover Swellow."
"We will also cover for King Yan."
The Pokémon charged up again and launched a combined attack, with seventeen moves working together to barely withstand the Squid King's blow.
As the aftershocks of the light wave dissipated, the Great Swallow, clad in a cyan energy coat, launched its charge.
It was already an extremely fast Pokémon, and now the blue energy of "Brave Bird" covering its entire body manifested as a blue bird phantom about ten meters long, which bombarded the Squid King, which had just finished its beam attack and had not yet had time to set up its defense, at the speed of light.
"Cough cough~, damn it~~"
The squid king, violently thrown back, emerged from the embedded rock, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, its eyes filled with venom and intense resentment.
Perhaps due to the effects of the Squid King's severe injuries, the faces of the hypnotized tapirs and long-nosed leaves that it controlled began to show signs of struggle, and they even seemed to be regaining their senses.
"We finally found this 'Dark Stone' vein, and we've gone to great lengths to hold it for so long. How can we give up so easily?"
The squid king suddenly snapped its tentacles together, and its eyes shone with a bright pink light. Lin Ye and his companion thought it was about to unleash some powerful attack, so they immediately told their Pokémon to be on guard.
However, the two and their Pokémon did not get to witness any amazing special moves. Instead, the Longnose Leaf and Hypnos, which had just shown signs of breaking free from control, began to be controlled by a new wave of mental illusions, and their eyes became even more vacant.
At the same time, under the mental control of Malamar, these Pokémon desperately poured the energy of the seven "Dark Stones" and seven "Light Stones" into the two core evolutions by consuming their own life force.
"Hahaha~, although forcibly activating it will deplete my own life force, it's insignificant compared to the benefits of advancing to 'Master Level'."
As soon as he finished speaking, a pink halo flashed across the Squid King's body, and the entire squid disappeared from the spot. Then, in an instant, the core of the Yin-Yang diagram array appeared on the ground.
At this moment, the fourteen long-nosed leaves and the hypnotic tapir had collapsed to the ground due to the activation of the secret technique, and the squid king itself also looked like it was losing a lot of life force.
But it ignored all that and kept its eyes fixed intently on the two floating gems.
At this moment, the seven "Dark Stones" and seven "Light Stones" on the outer perimeter had lost all their spirituality. In their place, the radiance of the two gems at the core became incredibly clear, indicating that their grade had been completely upgraded.
The two high-quality gems, one bright and one dark, slowly floated to the sides of the Squid King. He grabbed them with his whiskers, and they instantly shone with dazzling light.
This light was not the silver light of evolution, but a mixture of extremely deep darkness and extremely dazzling gold.
Clearly, they correspond to the unique combination of evil and superpowers of the Squid King.
"Hehe~, cough cough~, hehe~, this is an ancient secret technique that I discovered decades ago."
You can concentrate the energy of eight "Light Stones" and "Dark Stones" into one to complete a level advancement.
Fortunately, our lineage of the Squid King possesses a method to break through the ultimate bottleneck using two high-quality "Dark Stones" and "Light Stones" simultaneously.
Now, you can't stop any of this. Use your lives as punishment for the many lives I've lost.
Their Pokémon, of course, couldn't just stand by and watch all this happen, and immediately intervened.
But at this moment, the energy of the Squid King resonated with the energy of the two advanced evolution stones, forming a ring of black and gold light around its body, which actually blocked the attacks of the Pokémon.
"Oh no, the Squid King might really be advancing. If we can't stop it, we'll really be stuck once it succeeds."
"Don't give up, there must be a way."
"But our Pokémon's attacks can't penetrate this light barrier."
"Let's try that move from the giant swallow again."
"This is the only way!"
The next moment, Lin Ye had the Azure Flame Blade Ghost use "Phosphorus Fire" on the Great King Swallow, which immediately activated its "Perseverance" trait.
Immediately afterwards, Nachi instructed it to use "Hardcore" while its "Grit" trait was active, and its power reached a terrifying level.
"Bang!"
The dazzling silver-white figure crashed violently into the gold and black barrier, which shook violently before twisting and shattering.
Lin Ye's mind raced, and he made a hand seal on his own. Then he grabbed at the light barrier and his spiritual power seemed to touch the "Dark Stone".
This is a soul-capturing technique. Lin Ye used this move before to steal the "Curse Talisman" from the Flower Rock Monster on Mount Songshen.
The latter is a pure ghost-attribute item, while the "Dark Stone" is a mixture of ghost and dark attributes, and can be used even with strong attributes.
Logically speaking, his energy level was far too different from that of the squid king in front of him, so he shouldn't have succeeded.
But just as Squid King realized what was happening and was about to retract the "Dark Stone," the other Pokémon guarding the perimeter all moved.
One attack after another was fired at the Squid King, which had temporarily lost its barrier protection. Each attack was insignificant to the Squid King, but when more than a dozen came at the same time, even the latter could not withstand it.
"Bang!"
Squid King channeled its spiritual power to create a pink psychic light barrier, blocking the combined attack of the Pokémon.
But at the same time, because he was distracted, Lin Ye snatched and stole the high-level "Dark Stone".
"No! Damn it!"
Despite his severe injuries, the Squid King charged forward, only to be entangled by the returning Odd-Colored Swallow.
As soon as Lin Ye grabbed the "Dark Stone," he sensed that the essence of dark energy within it was far superior to the simple intermediate evolution stone he had encountered before. Overjoyed, he immediately called for his twin sword sheaths to come over.
