Chương 186: The dissipating energy of the Dragon Orb
After Castform unleashed Thunder and Hydro Pump under the "rainy day", it didn't stop.
"This is..." Terrance's eyes widened as he watched Castform use its new move.
As the large raindrops fell, a howling wind seemingly emerged from nowhere, swirling the water droplets. Under a huge thrust, a murky, intense Hurricane slowly formed... and grew!
Under the dark clouds, the trajectories of countless raindrops were disrupted, and the color of the sky changed. Following the huge Hurricane, all the raindrops changed direction and converged from all directions, making the Hurricane look majestic, as if it were about to punch a hole through the dense clouds!
"Hurricane move..." Seeing the smug expression of Castform, Terrance realized that Castform actually hadn't used its full strength back then.
Under rainy day, besides Hydro Pump and Thunder, Castform can also use the powerful Flying Type move, Hurricane.
"Is this also because of Dragon Orb's energy?" Terrance looked at Castform, taking out the Dragon Orb from his backpack, which still retained a trace of energy.
If the energy of this Dragon Orb had been full from the beginning, then the current depleted state suggests that the dissipated energy might have been quietly absorbed by Castform.
Dragonair itself was the embodiment of rain, revered since ancient times by agricultural people as someone capable of controlling the weather.
And their control over the weather also relied on the magical power contained within the crystal-like orb.
With Castform gaining this ability, it indirectly inherited all of this, and coupled with Castform race' affinity for weather, it might not necessarily be weaker than Dragonair...
This led to Castform being adept at everything related to rainy weather, such as Rain Dance, Thunder, and Hurricane.
Just when Terrance thought Castform was done showing its moves, Castform unexpectedly began using a new move.
This time, the energy contained in the rainwater began to gather towards Castform, forming a chaotic blue sphere in front of Castform.
The sphere kept rotating, its energy appearing very unstable, containing extremely formidable power. When Castform launched this blue Energy Ball into the sky like a cannonball, a loud explosion instantly echoed through the sky.
Weather Ball.
The attack inflicts damage on the target, and if there is abnormal weather, the move's type corresponds to the weather's type, and its power is doubled...
This was Castform's signature move... Terrance slapped his forehead, surprised that he had forgotten about this.
However,
Compared to Hydro Pump, this move consumes too much energy. It hasn't been long, and the downpour already seems to be dissipating.
"Alright, I've got a rough idea of your situation." Terrance stopped Castform.
Terrance was pleasantly surprised...If you just looked at Castform under a rainy weather, it's starting baseline was practically better than any of Terrance' Pokémon when he had obtained them.
"It's good, but there are drawbacks."
It was a given that Castform's defense was poor, but fortunately, Castform could use the "Protect" move, which can deal with ordinary situations.
However, the limitations of this move were also very significant. It couldn't be looked at as a long-term plan, and...
Looking at Castform's tired expression, it seemed that Castform's rainy weather's energy consumption...was very high, several times more than Sunny Day and Hail.
Although using Sunny Day and Hail seemed effortless and didn't consume much energy, the results were there for all to see. The preparation took too much time and their effect wasn't significant.
But Rain Dance, not only was it fast, but its power was also immense. With Thunder and Hurricane accompanying it, it was almost like a set of moves, but Castform will no longer have the stamina to continue fighting.
"Sometimes, being too proficient in a particular move can become a burden," Terrance called back Castform, closing his eyes. He re-evaluated several guesses in his mind, but he knew that he wouldn't be able to verify them in reality in the short term.
"You did quite well." Terrance praised Castform, causing Castform to proudly lift its head.
"But I hope you can maintain this prideful attitude in the future." Terrance smiled.
He called Beautifly and others over. In Terrance's mind, Castform still wasn't a match for Beautifly, Altaria, or Mismagius.
Currently, only Growlithe could be suppressed by Castform.
However, once Growlithe evolves, Castform will once again become the weakest link in Terrance's team. Relying solely on rainy weather, Castform's versatility is limited, making it easy for opponents to counter.
In battles, it's not just about the power of the moves.
Beautifly, Mismagius, and Altaria looked at Castform with the eyes of elders, expressing friendliness and admiration.
Only Growlithe, due to the recent downpour, was in a particularly bad mood. The damp air around it made it very uncomfortable, so it looked at Castform with dissatisfaction.
Especially the glint in its eyes made Terrance almost think there was going to be a clash and he quickly stood in front of Growlithe.
"Alright, you should all get to know Castform, as you'll be spending a long time together from now on." Terrance said.
Under Terrance's guidance, the Pokémon quickly became acquainted with each other. Despite Castform's tsundere attitude, it couldn't help but smile under the warmth of Beautifly and the others.
After resolving everything, Terrance set out on the road again, still opting to travel on foot. Apart from Castform and Mismagius, Terrance recalled the rest of his Pokémon.
Mismagius remained to scout ahead, while Terrance had some things to discuss with Castform.
As he took out the Dragon Orb, Castform immediately began to rub against it. The Dragon Orb was like a part of its body, and it was also the most cherished possession of Castform.
"You've seen it too, there's not much energy left in it. It wasn't like this when you first got it, right?" Terrance asked.
"Castformmm~~~" Castform nodded, looking somewhat sad at the weak energy fluctuations of the Dragon Orb.
"There's no need to be sad. This is inevitable, and the energy hasn't completely disappeared. It's all been absorbed into your body. So, the Dragon Orb is still the same Dragon Orb, it has just fused with your body." Terrance comforted it.
Hearing Terrance's words, Castform relaxed a bit, but it still looked worried. Clearly, the gradual decrease of Dragon Orb's energy made it anxious.
Watching the Dragon Orb, Terrance pondered. The complete disappearance of the energy wasn't a big deal; the Dragon Orb would just not have any energy and lose its identity as a carrier, but it wouldn't completely disappear.
After using an evolutionary stone, the energy would also integrate into the Pokémon's body, but the evolutionary stone itself would gradually become an ordinary stone.
