Chapter 488 Magikarp, let me see your limits!
Through the Greatsword Demon, Li Shuwen successfully learned the approximate strength of the Gem Starfish.
The Greatsword Demon mentioned two key pieces of information.
That gem starfish was huge!
When the Greatsword Demon arrived at Star Valley, the Gem Star was floating in the air, its core ruby constantly shimmering.
It absorbs the power from the universe.
The Greatsword Demon was somewhat surprised when he saw the huge creature in the air, which was over three meters in diameter.
Greatsword Demon has seen many gem starfish, including some large ones.
But this was the first time even the Greatsword Demon had ever seen such a large gem starfish.
Moreover, the gem starfish is very powerful.
The great strength of the gem starfish is not due to its size.
Even though the diameter of a gem starfish exceeds three meters, the power it exhibits far exceeds what a three-meter-diameter gem starfish should possess.
As a professional warrior, Greatsword Demon's intuitive judgment is unlikely to be wrong.
At that moment, the gem starfish swirled gracefully as it rushed towards the Greatsword Demon.
After the Greatsword Demon dodged, he easily shredded a rock into powder.
Even from their brief exchange, Greatsword Demon could tell that Starmie was a formidable opponent worthy of a fight.
Even the Greatsword Demon believed that the Gem Starfish could fight him.
If it were a golden Magikarp, even if it ate the fruit of Jormungandr, it probably wouldn't be able to withstand the high-speed spin attack described by the Greatsword Demon, which involved Starmie crushing rocks.
The Golden Magikarp was also well aware of how powerful the Greatsword was.
He had sparred with the Greatsword Demon several times, but each time he couldn't see how the Greatsword Demon's shell blade could send him flying from the water into the air.
Magikarp only saw a flash of blue light, and then he flew up.
Therefore, Li Shuwen must find a way to outsmart the Magikarp King to overcome tomorrow's challenge.
The Greatsword Demon's description just now actually revealed the Starmie's weakness.
Although this cosmic superman is large, muscular, and incredibly strong, it also makes the starfish slow.
Power-based builds are fun to use, but they inevitably have a speed disadvantage.
Moreover, once the strength increases, it becomes easy to use the sharp point to replace the brain in thinking.
Li Shuwen looked at Magikarp and said, "Magikarp, your task tomorrow is to use your speed to attract Starmie's attention."
"The gem starfish isn't fast, you should be able to lure it away, and I'll take this opportunity to pick the star mushroom."
"Once successful, I will use the power of waveguides to notify you to retreat. The only problem now is whether you can hold back the gem starfish and lure it away from the mountain?"
Magikarp's gaze was resolute. "Kiss!"
He'll definitely be fine!
In order to counter the Greatsword's shell blade, Magikarp has been honing his speed and eyesight.
Since Starfish has a speed disadvantage, let's wait and see how he outruns Starfish tomorrow!
Li Shuwen nodded. "Very good, very energetic!"
After getting plenty of sleep, Li Shuwen and his three companions arrived at the entrance to the underground waterway of Star Valley early the next morning.
After a night's rest, Magikarp fully absorbed the power of the fruit of Jormungandr.
After entering the water, Magikarp felt the water around it was so welcoming for the first time, and happily swam in the river, wagging its tail.
The speed has increased by nearly 50% compared to yesterday.
Seeing the Magikarp's agility, Swordmaster nodded.
With Magikarp's current speed, it should have no problem holding off Starmie.
Li Shuwen finally spoke up and asked, "Magikarp, are you ready?"
Magikarp flicked its tail, and a fist-sized ball of water rippled from its mouth.
A flicker of surprise crossed Li Shuwen's eyes. "You've mastered Water Pulse!"
Compared to the reality of Jormungandr, Li Shuwen believes that the willpower to break through the dream space plays a more crucial role in the Magikarp's hypnosis.
Li Shuwen changed into his diving suit in advance and, guided by the Greatsword Demon, successfully arrived at the legendary Star Valley.
The Greatsword Demon retreated after successfully completing his mission, diving into the water to avoid becoming a target for the Gem Starfish.
Meanwhile, the Greatsword Demon should be prepared to strike at the crucial moment.
The gem starfish is very powerful, and the Greatsword Demon cannot allow it to hurt Li Shuwen.
As for Magikarp, Swordmaster believes Magikarp has tough bones.
Magikarp wants to become stronger, so getting hit by Starmie a few times will help him grow stronger.
On the cliff face of Star Valley, you can see clusters of white mushrooms that emit a faint glow.
Mature star mushrooms have a golden skin and emit a rich golden light.
On the western cliff face, there happened to be a mature star mushroom.
Li Shuwen stretched out his hand, letting Magikarp see the star mushroom.
He then pointed to the giant starfish lying among several mature star mushrooms.
The power contained in those star mushrooms has been dimmed considerably after being absorbed by the gem starfish.
Otherwise, after Magikarp distracts Starmie, Li Shuwen could simply steal one from Starmie's nest.
Finally, Li Shuwen pointed to the east, and Magikarp nodded knowingly.
If the gem starfish is led behind the cliff on the east side, it will not be able to see Li Shuwen climbing the cliff to pick star mushrooms.
Li Shuwen hid behind a rock, and Magikarp slowly swam towards Starmie.
When they reached the vicinity of Starmie's nest, Magikarp took a mouthful of water and spat it onto Starmie's face, just as he always did.
When the gem starfish was sprayed with water, the red gem at its core immediately emitted a rich red light.
This is the extreme expression of anger from the gem starfish.
The gem starfish and Deoxys are actually somewhat similar, both conveying information by emitting light through their core gem.
Li Shuwen was curious and suspected that the gem starfish and Deoxys were related.
It's likely that the starfish arrived early, fell into the ocean, absorbed energy, and then transformed from its original form into the starfish we see today.
Of course, this academic issue has nothing to do with the current Magikarp.
Because of Magikarp's overly successful provocation, Starmie did not choose to attack Magikarp with a high-speed spin.
Instead, he used the skill that best expressed his anger.
Destruction Ray!
An orange beam of light was released from the core gem of the gem starfish, creating a huge splash on the water's surface.
Although Magikarp sped away to avoid it, it still couldn't help feeling a lingering fear.
Magikarp has been at the Veilgate Gym for too long and has forgotten just how violent these mountain kings can be when provoked.
If someone who enjoys being bossy suddenly finds themselves being ridden on by other Pokémon, they will naturally feel that their authority has been challenged.
If it weren't for the fruit of Jormungandr causing Magikarp's physique to change, he would have actually been hit by Starmie in its rage.
After the starfish was lured away, Li Shuwen quickly swam ashore, his hands moving with the agility of a hyperactive ape.
He quickly climbed up the cliff, picked the ripe star mushroom, and put it into a waterproof bag.
Then it swam to the side of the Greatsword Demon and kept a close eye on Magikarp's situation using its Aura.
Li Shuwen narrowed his eyes. Magikarp, let me see where your current limit is!
