Chapter 785 I don't understand...
The fossil pterosaur charged at the monstrous salamander, its scars gleaming menacingly in the sunlight.
Each flap of its wings stirred up a gust of wind, and its blood-red eyes were fixed on the salamander as if it were watching a fleeing prey.
Fossilized pterosaurs were the ace of birds; they weren't the fastest or the most skilled, but they were definitely the fiercest and most resilient!
The sound of birds flew from the horizon: "Fossil Pteranodon, Ironhead!"
The fossil pterosaur lowered its head, its head gleaming with a metallic light, and charged towards the giant salamander.
It was so fast that it left a white sonic boom cloud in the air, like a diving bomber.
"Get out of the way!" Li Shuwen's voice drifted in the wind.
The salamander turned to the side, and Ironhead grazed its wing, scraping off several scales and causing blood to seep out.
He had no time to feel the pain, because the pterosaur's claws were already close behind, their fingers glowing with a ghostly purple light, and one claw gripped the salamander's waist.
"Counterattack! Water cannons!"
The salamander opened its mouth, and a thick jet of water sprayed directly onto the pterosaur's chest at close range.
The fossil pterosaur was pushed back, but it did not fall.
It shook its head, and its iron tail swept across, striking the salamander's leg.
The salamander nearly lost its balance but managed to keep it steady.
The fossil pterosaur pounced again and crushed it!
Its massive jaws opened, dark energy gathering on its fangs, as it lunged at the salamander's wings.
The salamander flapped its wings vigorously and soared upwards.
It crushes the air, the upper and lower jaws colliding to produce a terrifying clicking sound.
If that bite lands, the wings won't be able to fly anymore.
The salamander, panting heavily, looked at the still energetic fossil pterosaur with fear in its eyes.
The fossil pterosaur was very strong; its strength, physical abilities, and fighting instincts were all top-notch.
Every strike was ruthless and deadly; every attack was an attempt to end the battle.
He had a great time fighting!
Li Shuwen's voice pierced the battlefield: "Dragon Pulse!"
The salamander opened its mouth, and a purple beam of light blasted into the pterosaur's chest at close range.
The fossil pterosaur was blasted back, and a large patch of scales on its chest was shattered, but it did not kneel down.
He shook his head, his eyes gleaming with even more ferocity.
The bird's voice rang out again: "Fossil Aerodactyl, show him our will! Claw Combo!"
The fossil pterosaur's claws glowed with a ghostly purple light, like two purple lightning bolts, as it frantically swung them at the monstrous salamander.
One claw, two claws, three claws, four claws—the salamander desperately dodged, the dragon claws grazing his body again and again, each time taking away several scales.
Blood splattered in the air, and the salamander's body trembled, but he did not give up.
"Swallow Returns - Iron Head".
The salamander's figure drew an arc in the air, pouring all its weight, speed, and remaining strength into its final attack.
Avoiding the pterosaur's claws, I circled behind it, my crest gleaming with a metallic light, and slammed into the pterosaur's back.
The fossil pterosaur's eyes widened suddenly, its body stiffened in mid-air, and then it plummeted straight down.
It crashed to the ground, creating a large crater. Lying among the rubble, its wings were limply spread, its eyes were still open, but its pupils were already dilated.
The salamander slowly descended from the sky and landed next to the fossil pterosaur.
He was breathing heavily, his eyes exceptionally bright.
The bird walked over, crouched down, and gently stroked the pterosaur's head. "Thank you for your hard work."
He retrieved the fossil pterosaur and looked at Li Shuwen, "Your salamander was very strong to withstand so many attacks from the fossil pterosaur head-on and even manage to counterattack and win."
Li Shuwen nodded. "The fossil pterosaur was also very strong. Its strength, physical fitness, and willpower were all top-notch."
The bird laughed. "Continue, Skarmory."
The armored bird spread its pair of silvery-white steel-feathered wings, which reflected a cold, sharp light in the sunlight.
Li Shuwen released the Blaziken.
The bird flapped the armored bird's wings.
"Armored Bird, Steel Wings!"
Without needing to say anything more, the Skarmory charged out.
His speed was so fast that he left a silvery-white afterimage in the air, and the steel feathers at the edges of his wings emitted a piercing shriek as they cut at high speed.
Those wings were like two enormous steel blades, enough to cut a boulder in two.
The blazing chicken leaps into the air with astonishing jumping power, easily soaring over ten meters high to avoid the sweeping attack of the steel wings.
He twisted in mid-air, his right fist igniting with crimson flames, and blasted towards the armored bird's back.
Flame Fist.
The armored bird did not dodge; instead, it folded its wings, turning itself into a lump of steel.
A fiery punch slammed into his back, the flames illuminating his silvery steel feathers, but the armored bird remained unmoved.
"Peck the drill!" Asuka commanded.
The archer's head and beak suddenly stretched forward, the tip of its beak gathering spirals of air, like a spinning steel drill, as it stabbed towards the blazing chicken.
The Blaziken twisted its body forcefully in mid-air, its pecking whizzing past his shoulder.
Blaziken stumbled as it landed, its shoulder wound aching.
Without hesitation, Li Shuwen shouted, "Flame-breathing!"
Blaziken opened its mouth, and a pillar of crimson fire shot towards Skarmory.
The armored bird did not dodge; instead, it crossed its wings to block in front of it. The flames struck the steel feathers, which were then slightly reddened by the heat.
"I wonder how many years it took to develop the steel wings of this armored bird," Li Shuwen said with admiration.
The bird smiled smugly. "He's been cutting rocks with his steel wings every day for five years. Now he can cut iron pillars like they're tofu."
"Brave bird, attack!" Asuka's voice rose.
The Skarmory's body burst into blue energy flames, its wings folded, and it swooped down towards Blaziken like a blue shooting star.
It moved at extreme speed, igniting the air in its path and leaving a trail of blue light.
"The swallows return."
The Blaziken's silhouette traced an arc in the air.
The arc was strange and beautiful, brushing past the edge of the blue meteor.
The brave bird charged and crashed into the rock behind him, blasting the boulder into pieces.
Blaziken swerved at the end of the arc and charged toward Skarmory's back.
Flames erupted from his right fist once more—Flame Fist!
The armored bird blocked with its steel wings, and its fists collided, exploding into a burst of sparks.
The Skarmory turned around, flapping its wings repeatedly, and its air slashes transformed into countless invisible blades, slashing towards Blaziken.
Blaziken weaves through the gaps in the blades, its jumping ability astonishing. With each leap, it avoids several air slashes, landing with its legs already brimming with power.
His body glowed red, a sign that his fiery nature had been activated.
The power of the flames increased further, changing from crimson to bright gold, and from bright gold to incandescent.
He charged forward again, unleashing a fiery kick!
His right foot burst into flames as he kicked the armored bird's steel wing.
boom!
The armored bird was kicked back a few steps, leaving a charred footprint on its steel wing.
The armored bird steadied itself, a hint of surprise flashing in its eyes.
The Skarmory's wings gleamed with a metallic sheen once more, its steel wings sweeping across the ground as the Blaziken leaped to dodge.
The Brave Bird swoops down with a powerful attack, but the Blaziken dodges with a backflip; the Blaziken pecks and thrusts, but the Blaziken sidesteps to avoid it.
Like a real bird, he drew graceful arcs in the air, dodging all the armored birds' attacks.
"Flash Charge - Full Power." Li Shuwen's voice was as calm as still water.
Blaziken burst into flames, transforming into a white shooting star as it hurtled towards Skarmory.
"Brave Bird, Charge!"
The armored bird also ignited blue flames to fight back.
White and blue meteors collided in mid-air.
boom--!!!
This explosion was more violent than any before. White flames engulfed the blue flames, and the armored bird fell from the blast, crashing to the ground, its steel feathers scattered everywhere.
He lay among the rubble, his wings drooping limply, his eyes closed.
The Blaziken fell from the sky and knelt on one knee.
The bird walked over to the armored bird, knelt down, and gently stroked its charred steel feathers. "You've done very well."
He recalled Skarmory into its Poké Ball and stood up. "Continue, Staraptor."
Li Shuwen then chose Electivire, saying, "It's up to you, Electivire."
The Mk Eagle took flight from the bird's shoulder, neither as ferocious as the fossil pterosaur nor as composed as the armored bird; its eyes were calm.
Electivire clenched his fist; his intuition told him that Starhawk was a formidable opponent.
"Electrify, 100,000 Volts!" Li Shuwen didn't want to test the waters, so he directly let Electrify unleash its full power.
A golden beam of electricity slashed towards the Mk Eagle.
The Hawk did not dodge, letting the electric current strike its body.
Li Shuwen was somewhat surprised. "The electrical resistance... is incredibly strong."
The daily electrical stimulation allowed the Muke Eagle's muscles, nerves, and cells to adapt to the electric shocks, and it was even able to convert the electric shocks into its own power.
"Lightning Flash!" Asuka commanded.
The figure of the Mk Eagle disappeared from the spot.
It wasn't invisibility; the electric current made him so fast that the electric monster's eyes couldn't keep up.
It appeared to the side of Electivire and rammed into his waist.
boom!
The electric monster was knocked sideways a few steps.
Before he could turn around, the Mk Eagle had already crashed into him from another direction.
slam!
With another bang, Electivire was knocked to the ground and rolled once before quickly regaining its balance.
"Don't panic," Li Shuwen's voice was steady. "Thunder Fist."
The Electrify Beast's right fist lit up with dazzling lightning, and just as the Starhawk charged again, it unleashed a punch.
The Hawk's figure twisted in the lightning, dodging the lightning punch, while its wings fanned out hot air.
Hot air, carrying electric sparks, splattered on the face of the electric monster, scorching a few of its hairs.
Li Shuwen narrowed his eyes. "Not only can it resist electricity, but it can also use hot air to resist electric current. Was your Starhawk specifically bred to deal with electric-type attacks?"
Asuka laughed. "I guess so. There are a lot of electric-attribute experts on the road to the championship. Without special training, you simply can't climb the ranks."
"Ultimate Impact!" Asuka's voice rose.
The Starhawk's body glowed white, transforming into a white shooting star as it crashed into the Electrify Beast.
Ultimate Impact!
The strongest physical attack of the normal attribute, with great power but also significant side effects; the body will be temporarily stiffened after use.
Mk Eagle had clearly controlled the side effects to the extreme; his stiffness was so short it was almost invisible.
The electric monster was knocked back several steps, and felt a tightness in its chest.
"Crazy Volt!" Li Shuwen's voice rose.
"Close combat!"
The Electrify Beast charged forward, unleashing a torrent of lightning upon the Starhawk.
With its beak gleaming, wings and claws flailing, M'King fights to the death, battling the Electrifying Beast in close combat.
The two Pokémon were locked in a fierce battle, each blow landing squarely on the ground, neither willing to back down.
"The final blow, the ultimate impact!"
"The final blow, lightning strike!"
The Starhawk transformed into a white shooting star, and the Electrify Beast transformed into blue and white lightning.
Two meteors collided in mid-air.
boom--!!!
The explosion's light engulfed the entire area.
As the light faded, both Pokémon fell from the sky at the same time.
The Mook Eagle lay among the rubble, its eyes closed and wings drooping limply.
The Electivire lay not far from him, its body charred black, its tail still twitching slightly.
Neither Pokémon could stand up, and both were unable to battle.
The bird walked over to the Hawk, knelt down, and gently stroked its head. "You've done very well."
Li Shuwen walked to the Electric Monster, squatted down, and placed his hand on its back.
"Thanks for your hard work."
As the sun sets, the mountain breeze grows colder.
Feiniao and Li Shuwen sat on a flat rock, with a teapot and two cups in front of them.
The Pokémon gathered around; some were eating, some were receiving treatment, and some were already asleep on the ground.
Asuka poured Li Shuwen a cup of tea. "Your Pokémon are all in great shape. Especially that Salamence, it was hit so many times by Aerodactyl, yet it still managed to maintain its fighting ability."
"How did you train?"
Li Shuwen took a sip of tea. "Nothing special. Just make them carry more heavy loads, eat more nutritious food, and get more rest."
"When they're not training, we absolutely won't let them get tired."
The bird seemed thoughtful. "No wonder your Pokémon recovers faster than mine. Do you also know Roost?"
Li Shuwen shook his head. "Salamander can use it, but not very well. Other Pokémon can't."
The bird's eyes lit up. "Winging is my specialty. Want to learn?"
Li Shuwen also became interested. "Can you teach me?"
"Of course." Asuka stood up. "But I must make it clear first, not all Pokémon can learn Roost."
"Flying-type Pokémon learn it the easiest, but non-Flying-types..." He glanced at Sirfairy and Blaziken, "...it's very difficult."
"Give it a try," Li Shuwen said.
The bird called over the Pidgeot, asking it to demonstrate how to perch.
The Pidgey folded its wings, lay flat on the ground, and a faint light seeped out from between its feathers.
As he demonstrated, Fei Niao explained the key points of the movements: the wings should be fully folded and close to the body; breathing should be steady and not rapid; and the mindset should be relaxed and not tense.
Cong Youbing was the first to try, squatting on the ground and closing his eyes.
A faint light seeped from his body and went out after only a few seconds.
Cong Youbing opened his eyes and shook his head.
Li Shuwen used his wave-guiding power to guide the flow of wave-guiding power within Cong Youbing's body. "Try it again following this route."
Cong Youbing tried again, and this time he lasted for more than ten seconds, and the light was brighter than before.
I tried again and again, from dusk till nightfall, and from nightfall till the moonrise.
Li Shuwen also continuously helped with the adjustments.
A stable green light finally shone from Cong Youbing's body.
The light wasn't as intense as Pidgeot's, but he was indeed continuously recovering his strength.
Asuka's eyes widened. "Learned...learned it? The Fighting-type Farfetch'd has learned Roost?"
Li Shuwen nodded. "Cong Youbing, you've worked hard. Go back and rest."
Cong Youbing stood up, bowed to Fei Niao, and then walked back to Li Shuwen's side.
Fei Niao looked at Li Shuwen. "His comprehension is too good! I taught the Pidgey, and it took it a week to learn. He learned it in one night?"
"And it's a skill that's usually very difficult to master..."
Li Shuwen laughed and said, "It was just luck."
Blaziken tries to roost, and each time light seeps from its body, it goes out as soon as it lights up.
Try again, and it goes out again.
Having also practiced until late at night, Blaziken saw that Farfetch'd had already learned it, and in its eagerness, it took a deep breath, its body glowing red, and activated its Blaze ability!
The raging fire ignites life. Heart rate increases, body temperature rises, and energy begins to surge within the body.
Squat down again, bringing your arms together.
The light emanated from within, unlike the gentle light of Cong Youbing, but rather as intense as fire.
Its strength is recovering, its wounds are healing, and Blaziken's breathing is steady.
The bird's beak gaped open. "Blazing Chicken... learned Roost while in Blazing Mode?"
"I do not understand……"
He couldn't understand how Blaze, which was supposed to enhance the power of Fire-type moves, could help non-Flying-type Pokémon learn Roost.
Li Shuwen did not explain.
He reached out his hand, and Blaziken stood up and grabbed his hand.
The firelight danced between the two, warm and bright.
Asuka watched this scene and remained silent for a long time.
"Ah Wen, you're really hard to figure out."
Li Shuwen recalled his Blaziken and dusted himself off. "Thank you for your Feathered Roost. I've learned a lot from the Salamence."
After learning from Pidgeot for a while, the Salamander can now quickly recover its stamina using Roost.
Asuka nodded. "It's Salamence's natural talent. If you continue on the Champion Road, you'll encounter many more interesting people and Pokémon."
Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "Oh, you also know an expert with exceptional skills?"
