Chapter 161 Evolution, Wandering Night Spirit
Faced with a skill that cannot distinguish between physical entities, and unlike Shadow Clone, which is easily destroyed, Ash chose a more cautious approach.
A dark light emanated from the Night Patrol Spirit. One of the figures paused for a moment before trying to burrow underground to avoid the influence of the strange light.
"Night Patrol Spirit, Shadow—"
“DU!”
Ash's command failed to be given. Suddenly, one of the Rockruff's shadows accelerated and crashed into Nightwatch before it could react.
"Is it a physical entity? Or a variation of a skill?"
Xiao Zhi thought about it for a while, but he didn't really have many clues for the time being.
The shadow disappeared after hitting the Night Patrol Spirit, suggesting it was a one-time attack. It would be troublesome to eliminate them all.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
"Pikachu!"
Faced with the unique tactics of the Spiritmonger, Ash ultimately entrusted the task of dealing with these clones to Pikachu. After all, Nocturnal didn't have a move that could suppress the Spiritmonger all at once, and dealing with them all would inevitably give the Spiritmonger an opportunity to take advantage.
If this battle were just a regular Pokémon battle, Ash certainly wouldn't have let Pikachu participate, but Rockruff's goal is not so simple.
Therefore, Ash wouldn't leave everything to Nightwatch, especially with such unseen special methods.
Of course, this battle should be ended by the Night Patrol Spirit, as it was a perfect opportunity.
.......
The several clones conjured by the Flower Rock Monster vanished into thin air amidst flashes of lightning, while its true form remained hidden underground, searching for an opportunity to strike decisively.
"Shadow of the Night, then use Ghost Fire to cover the area in front!"
Ash calmly relayed the instructions.
"DU!"
The Night Patrol Spirit was completely focused; it dared not be careless in any way.
The Flower Rock Monster's earlier move had indeed caught it off guard, but because of this, it realized that this Flower Rock Monster must have similar strengths to itself.
It is skilled in illusion, and the Flower Rock Monster seems to be able to turn illusory shadows into solid entities that can be destroyed in an instant.
No...it's not just that.
They seem to have more in common.
Especially that kind of aura, that aura that transcends countless eras.
Although Night Patrol Spirit itself had been staying in the Forest Mansion, it had sensed the same aura from some of the guests who came later—a cold, painful, struggling, and hopeless aura.
They lived through the same era.
It's just that it was more deeply affected than I was, and it had seen more scenes than I had, that's all.
The Night Watch closed its eyes; at least this time, it didn't want to lose.
......
A dark shadow that covered the entire open space emerged from beneath it, and even the sunlight shining down from the clouds could not leave any trace on the shadow.
Countless will-o'-the-wisps surged forth from its body, connecting to form lines, and soon created a huge net that radiated scorching heat yet made people feel icy cold.
"This power..."
Looking at the scene created by the Night Patrol Spirit, Xiao Guang was moved and his outstretched fingers trembled slightly.
Clearly, the Night Patrol Spirit's Black Shadow and Will-o'-the-Wisp attack far exceeded its usual capabilities.
"A qualitative change has occurred."
Xiao Gang stroked his chin and said with a serious expression:
"I initially thought Ash was planning to send Pikachu into this battle, but instead of choosing to side with fate, he opted to let his well-prepared Duskmove achieve its breakthrough in this fight..."
"..."
The old man listened silently to Xiaogang's words without saying a word.
She watched Xiaozhi's retreating figure, her thoughts drifting for a moment.
Although he is still young, his silhouette seems to silently tell that his future is destined to be extraordinary.
The old man didn't know if Ash could become a Waveform Master. If it were a matter of fate, the possibility was high, but the boy before him didn't seem like someone who would submit to fate, so what about his future...?
and many more?
The old woman suddenly stopped tapping the ground with her cane; a possibility had suddenly occurred to her.
Could it be that... fate didn't choose him? Or rather, fate favored him?!
A glint of light flashed in the old man's narrowed eyes.
Regardless of the fact that the Rockruff was unsealed, the trainer who brought Pikachu happened to arrive here.
Or perhaps it was the undisguised malice that the Rockruff showed towards Ash. All of this fully demonstrates that Ash's fate was chosen. However, Ash offered another solution. Instead of sending Pikachu to fight the Rockruff, he sent Nightwatch to battle.
If everything that happened before was on the path of fate, then Ash's actions here, which are different from those of previous Aura users, are perhaps enough to explain his specialness.
He walked on the path of destiny, but the path of destiny favored him, allowing him to make corrections along its course.
......
The battle on the field gradually entered a heated phase.
Unable to break through the Night Patrol Spirit's blockade, the Flower Rock Monster had no choice but to endure the damage and launch a final attack.
The Flower Rock Monster's body was scorched by will-o'-the-wisps, and a wave of evil energy shot out from its front toward the Night Watcher's location.
At the same time, nearly ten more shadows emerged from its body, then separated and attacked Night Patrol Spirit and Little Ash from various corners.
It understood, and so did the Night Watch.
I don't have any truly wide-range attack skills to restrain the Flower Rock Monster's clones.
The Dark Shadow that blankets the earth can only lock onto a single target. Even if Night Patrol wanted to help Ash out first, it couldn't, because the Dark Pulse was right behind it.
Even though Pikachu was behind them, and arcs of electricity were already flashing across its body, this was not the situation Night Patrol wanted to see.
It wants to defeat the Rockruff on its own, without needing Pikachu to come to its rescue.
What it wants is to overcome its weaknesses, gain stronger and newer power, and never have to worry about this situation happening again.
As if in response to the Night Patrol Spirit's wish, the light of evolution began to emerge on its body.
a little......
a little......
The light gradually faded only after it enveloped its body and began to grow larger.
The Dark Pulse's attack was corrupted by the light of evolution, but several shadows of the Rockruff had already swept past it and were attacking Ash.
"Pickup!"
Pikachu was about to make a move when it saw this, but Ash stopped it.
The wandering spirit didn't turn around; it sensed Ash's meaning and quickly raised its hand.
"boom--"
A series of enormous roars rose and fell.
The moment the Rockruff clones reached Ash, they were as if weighed down by a heavy object, falling to the ground and instantly dissipating into wisps of mist in the open space.
The Flower Rock Monster itself was also thrown to the ground by this force. The pressure continued to increase. It frantically tried to mobilize its power to resist, but a huge fist emitting a dark light shattered all its thoughts.
