The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 53 Who isn't afraid of a lunatic!

The moment the "Lantern Berry" ripens, all the Normal-type Pokémon that have gathered together suddenly go berserk and rush towards the central berry tree without regard for anything else!

Before the real battle even began, the crowding and trampling had already crushed many weak Pokémon such as Rattata or Oolong.

But the real battle had just begun. The first to approach the tree fruit was the Great Swallow, which was known for its speed. Just as its claws were about to snatch up the two "Lamp Fruits", Zoroia's eyes widened. He wished he could leave immediately, but Lin Ye held him back with a contract.

"Don't worry, it won't be that easy for it to succeed. A moment of impatience could ruin a grand plan!"

Sure enough, just as the Great Swallow was about to succeed, a pink halo suddenly enveloped it, causing it to pause in its grabbing action and miss the best opportunity.

The Great Swallow then struggled frantically, its body glowing with silver light, and fiercely fought against the pink halo.

And the culprit behind all of this was none other than the night owl of similar rank!

The Night Hawk was positioned behind the Giant Swallow, its yellow eyebrows, shaped like the letter "V," emitting a pink superpower glow.

However, controlling a giant swallow of the same level with "psychic power" is not easy. The night owl is using all its mental power and cannot be distracted to compete for the fruit!

This gave other, slightly weaker Pokémon an opportunity. They surged and gathered under the tree, then fought fiercely for the rare treasures that were within easy reach.

In an instant, from the birds in the sky such as Spearow, Cuckoo, and Pidgeotto, to the more numerous and varied Normal-type Pokémon on the ground, all were attracted by the fruit's fragrance and fought fiercely.

They are all ordinary Pokémon living in protected areas, and some of them may even be familiar playmates.

But at this moment, faced with the ultimate attraction that constantly calls to them from the depths of their blood, they all lost their reason, their eyes turned red with rage, and they were determined to eliminate their competitors at all costs.

As the fierce battle progressed, the casualties among the Pokémon on the scene increased sharply, with even the strongest Noctowl and Swellow suffering severe internal damage from their stalemate.

"Opportunity! Now is the time!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the four ghosts sprang into action!

Froslass appeared gracefully, unleashing a massive "freezing wind" that instantly froze all the struggling Flying Pokémon, including Swellow and Noctowl, eliminating them from the game.

Below, with both swords drawn from their dual sheaths, taking down a group of exhausted Pokémon was a breeze.

Coincidentally, after evolving, it also mastered the Fighting move that is effective against Normal-type moves—"Brick Break," and now it's a good opportunity to practice it.

Even without using its full strength, the dual sword sheaths could still take down one enemy with each strike. The more it slashed, the more excited it became, and its two mouths even started arguing.

"Hey~, go easy on them. It's not the behavior of a strong person to be ruthless to the weak."

"Nonsense! Only by giving it your all can you show respect to your opponent!"

Seeing the "double-edged maniac" in front of him start arguing with himself like a schizophrenic, he was shocked.

Even the Pokémon affected by the scent of the "Lamp Berry" were somewhat startled and dared not step forward to compete for it.

"Wow~ Master, look! Those dual sword sheaths are amazing! They actually scared those Pokémon who were going crazy back to their senses!"

"Of course! Look at its current state! Who isn't afraid of a lunatic!"

"Alright, enough about the dual sword sheaths. Let's grab the fruit now and get out of here as soon as possible!"

"Gurgle~"

With a soft murmur, Zoroah's greyish-white body transformed into a dark shadow, hurtling towards the two fruits at lightning speed, with no one on the scene able to stop him.

But at that moment, a chilling eagle's cry descended from the sky, making Lin Ye's hair stand on end, as if he were being targeted by some enormous bird of prey.

At the same time, a silver streak shot downwards, and in the blink of an eye, it was close to Zoroa and the two "Lampberries"!

"Oh no, Zoroya, get out of the way!"

The spiritual communication brought about by the contract was more effective than verbal communication. At the critical moment, Zoroah, who had transformed into a shadow, managed to dodge the fatal charged dive!

As the dust settled, the figure of a giant bird with long hair landed on the ground, its wings outstretched, shrieking menacingly, radiating a powerful energy fluctuation of "professional level"—it was a typical Flying-type Pidgeotto!

Moreover, in terms of level alone, it is higher than Snow Fairy and Twin Swords Sheaths. It seems that it has been advancing for quite some time and is probably a veteran overlord of this airspace.

Perhaps because this Pidgeot was much higher level than the nearby Pokémon, it was able to stay calm and not join the initial melee, instead choosing to wait patiently in the air.

But unexpectedly, Lin Ye and Soroya, who shared the same thoughts, were also there, which is why they stepped in at this moment.

"This is troublesome. This Pidgeot is stronger than any of my Pokémon."

Although the Snow Fairy and her dual sword sheaths, both "professional-level" weapons, are not afraid of it, obtaining the two "Lampberries" unscathed will likely be difficult.

With Lin Ye's current lineup, he wasn't too afraid of the Pidgey in front of him.

However, the latter is closer to the fruit at this moment. If a real fight breaks out, Pidgeotto might simply destroy the fruit if it feels that defeat is inevitable, and then all its efforts will be in vain.

Lin Ye's mind raced, and he realized that the best solution was to talk to the Big Bird and try to split the two fruits equally.

He certainly didn't want to share the spoils with the birds, but that was the reality; if they fought, he'd most likely get none.

The giant bird had obviously thought of this as well. Although its huge body blocked Lin Ye and his group, it did not rush to pick the fruit. Instead, it stared at them with its "sharp eyes", which was full of warning.

"It seems this giant bird is truly intelligent. If I make any rash moves, it will most likely fight to the death and destroy the fruit. In that case, I can only give it one!"

Although Lin Ye was unwilling, he knew that negotiation was the most pragmatic option given the current situation.

"Alright~ It's fate that we two old fogies have met. How about this~ according to the rules of the underworld, half for each of us, fair enough?"

"Beep~~"

The big bird flapped its wings, indicating that it had no objection.

"Okay, let's work together, each of us takes one, and nobody wants any!"

Just as Lin Ye and Pidgeot were discussing the crucial point, a snow-white ghostly figure silently appeared behind Pidgeot and froze it solid with a "Frozen Wind"!

This scene stunned Lin Ye and the ghosts, because his Snow Fairy was currently with them!

That's why Pidgeot focused all its attention on Lin Ye, which led to the Snow Fairy's sneak attack.
