Chapter 174 Zoroark
Chapter 174 Zoroark
Zoroark (Green Region Form) This is a fox-like Pokémon with grayish-white skin, thick white hair on its head, and red tips.
Although he rolled around in the muddy swamp several times, he didn't get any mud on his body and quickly got up.
Looking at Gui Hai and the suddenly appearing Yao Ran, his eyes were wary and filled with resentment.
"This is... a Pokémon?"
Yao Ran stood on Lapras's back, looking at the Pokémon with some surprise.
She always thought that the person disguised as Oni was a human trainer.
After all, aside from some special artificial Pokémon, such as Rotom, very few can learn human language.
When Guihai communicated with her, he always spoke human language.
Now that it has suddenly revealed its true form as a Pokémon, Yao Ran is quite surprised.
Moreover, she had never seen this Pokémon before and didn't know what kind it was.
He does resemble Zoroark somewhat.
But Zoroark doesn't look like that, and even the variant colors are different.
Yao Ran took out his Pokédex and scanned the Pokémon.
The Elite Four's Pokédex contains information on all known Pokémon in the world.
Soon, a message without a picture appeared on Yao Ran's illustration.
[A trainer encountered a Pokémon in the snowy mountains of the Mountain and Sea League that closely resembled a Zoroark Pokémon and could transform into different forms, leading to speculation that it is a regional form of Zoroark.]
However, there is no evidence to prove the existence of this Pokémon; only several trainers have claimed to have encountered it.
"Zoroark with a special regional morphology?"
Yao Ran looked at the fox demon surrounded by herself and the sea of ghosts, scrutinizing it from head to toe.
Then, the appearance of this fox spirit was photographed using an encyclopedia.
"It can now be confirmed that this Pokémon does exist."
On the other side, Ghost Sea was doing the same thing, taking a picture of Zoroark's appearance with his Pokédex and starting to collect its battle data.
"Azure Flame Blade Demon, greet this friend and launch a sneak attack on his vitals."
Clad in black and blue armor, Azure Flame Blade Demon immediately leaped up, slashing out with the twin swords on his arms.
Like a bolt of dark blue lightning, it suddenly struck Zoroark in front of him.
Zoroark's eyes narrowed, and he floated backward, dodging Azure Flame Blade Demon's sword strike.
But the next second, its full head of white hair stood on end.
A sword beam resembling a crescent moon appeared behind it.
A sneak attack struck its vitals, hitting it in the back.
It was slammed into the Azure Flame Blade Demon in front of it.
"boom."
Helpless, Zoroark could only wrap his claws in ghostly energy and use Shadow Claws to block the attack on vital points in front of him.
And keep a close eye on the Pokémon behind you.
However, according to its senses, there were no Pokémon behind it.
Just as it was wondering what was going on, a sword light suddenly appeared before its eyes.
A longsword identical to the twin swords it had seized grazed the Azure Flame Blade Demon's helmet, aiming straight for its brow.
Faced with this sword strike, Zoroark could only quickly release his grip on both swords and retreat at high speed.
However, while it is fast, the Azure Flame Blade Demon is not slow either.
Flame, who was drawing his sword from behind Cang, suddenly changed his sword technique and clashed with Cang's.
Cang immediately leaped out.
In the air, Cang's body rapidly differentiated.
One becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight.
These clones, using each other's strength in the air, quickly blocked Zoroark's escape route from different directions, trapping him in the center of their formation.
Zoroark glanced around, looking for a clone to break through.
But just as it was about to make a move, an armored figure enveloped in purple flames appeared in front of it.
The longsword on its arm burned with purple flames, and it swung out in a crescent shape, slashing towards its chest.
Phosphorus Fire, Blazing Charge, and Regret Sword—three moves combined into one.
Zoroark should also be careful, as even if it is stronger than them, it will lose its ability to fight if it is hit head-on.
Then a transparent barrier appeared in front of Zoroark, blocking the destructive sword strike.
However, there are two Azure Flame Blade Demons in this battle.
Holding onto a move and continuing to execute it could lead to failure.
"Shh."
Behind Zoroark, another Azure Blade Flame Demon swung its sword down.
This time, Zoroark had no other means of escape and was hit in the back.
White hair and blood splattered.
Zoroark screamed and fell to the side.
Rolling in the mud, he was seriously injured.
Seeing that Zoroark was seriously injured, the clone of Azure Flame Blade Demon disappeared from the field.
Another Azure Flame Blade Demon also disappeared at the same time.
Only one Azure Flame Blade Demon remained, used to deceive the enemy, its longsword pointing diagonally as it warily watched the fallen Zoroark.
This Pokémon awaits its trainer to capture it.
However, to its surprise, Ghost Sea did not throw out a Poké Ball to capture and imprison the Pokémon.
Instead, it commanded it to launch another attack.
"Azure Flame Blade Demon, Regret Sword".
Although I don't understand why, it is a Pokémon that I have been raised by Kikai since childhood.
It completely trusts Ghost Sea.
The longsword was enveloped in energy, and a flash of Azure Flame Blade Demon appeared in front of Zoroark.
On the cursed armor, the swordsman's longing for the world was all concentrated on the tip of this sword, aimed at Zoroark's throat.
However, this sword strike, which should have hit its mark, missed its target.
It was blocked by Zoroark's claws.
Even that claw was slashed by the Azure Flame Blade Demon's longsword, leaving it covered in blood.
But it was still blocked.
Azure Blade Demon's eyes widened slightly; it sensed that something was off about this Pokémon.
Its aura did not increase, but it keenly sensed a kind of madness and cruelty of mutual destruction.
Azure Flame Blade Demon sensed something was wrong and immediately retreated.
Another Azure Flame Blade Demon appeared behind it.
A shadow sphere condensed between the two longswords and was launched.
"Awoo."
Zoroark, however, did not flinch; his white hair fluttered behind his head, making him look like the Grim Reaper.
A deep resentment rose from it, surprising the Gengar and the other Ghost-type Pokémon present.
Then, seeing Zoroark charging towards the Azure Blade Demon as if it were about to perish together with them, enduring the damage from the Shadow Orb, they watched as Zoroark charged towards the Azure Blade Demon.
The grayish-white claws turned pitch black, like sharp knives cutting through space, and landed heavily on the Azure Flame Blade Demon that couldn't dodge in time.
"Stab!"
The sharp claws rubbed against the armor, producing a chilling scraping sound.
Cang was unwilling to fight head-on, so he quickly retreated.
Yan's longsword pierced Zoroark's chest from beside it.
Zoroark, however, remained oblivious, allowing Yan to plunge his longsword into its body.
Just as the longsword pierced his body, Yan suddenly felt something was wrong.
But it was already quite late.
A cruel madness gleamed in Zoroark's yellow eyes. He grabbed Yan's longsword with one hand and conjured a shadow ball with the other, slamming it down towards Yan's face.
"Boom."
An explosion was heard.
The three figures separated.
Yan was unharmed, but Cang's longsword bore some burn marks.
Just now, Cang timely drew his sword to block a blow for his brother.
Zoroark also retreated at the same time, breaking free from the encirclement of the two brothers.
However, Zoroark, who created a breach in the encirclement, did not escape.
Instead, he glared fiercely at the Azure Flame Blade Demon, then, on all fours, he transformed into a blur in the muddy swamp and charged towards the two brothers once more.
