章節 182: Unknown reason
"Changing your type, huh?"
Seeing this scene, Terrance chuckled. This Castform seemed quite clever, knowing about Ghost Type energy. Typically, Ghost-type energy would be greatly weakened against the body of a Normal-type.
However...
At the critical moment, the trajectories of three Shadow Balls suddenly changed, colliding with each other. Boom! A resounding explosion ensued, releasing a surge of energy that rippled outward.
Rolling mist lingered as the energy of Ghost Type move, weak against Normal-type, interacted with the Shadow Balls, continually decomposing and expanding, forming energy waves. These powerful waves propagated through the air, the ground, and other mediums.
But once the smoke cleared... Castform wasn't as battered as Terrance had anticipated. Instead, Castform, glowing all over, emerged unscathed under these waves...
The glow surrounding Castform... was unexpectedly "Protect" move.
However, Terrance could tell that Castform wasn't happy...
Clearly, the sudden change in attack pattern of the Shadow Balls nearly caught it off guard... which left Castform quite unhappy.
Rain...
It started pouring again.
But this time...
Boom!
A deafening thunderclap rang out, and a dense mass of dark clouds instantly covered the area. Within the clouds, lightning serpents roamed freely, and it would be more appropriate to call it a thundercloud instead of dark clouds now.
Rumble!
Lightning struck, and the deafening sound jolted Terrance back to reality. Immediately afterward, large raindrops pelted down with a crackling noise. This rain, compared to the earlier downpour, was louder and more shocking than before.
If the previous rain could be described as a drizzle, then this was a deluge.
"Oh no!"
Terrance furrowed his brows; this commotion seemed a bit too big.
If it attracted the attention of the personnel patrolling the edge of the Safari Zone, things would turn ugly.
What he was doing now was already breaking the rules; if caught in the act, he'd surely be expelled.
"No, I can't stay here any longer. I need to hurry up."
The rain intensified, and Terrance could sense...that the power of Castform's Water Type move would increase even more!
The oppressive feeling was further intensified by the lightning above.
"This Castform seems to have learned Electric-type moves as well. Is it Thunder?"
Thunder on a rainy day was a formidable move, even Terrance's expression turned serious….this Rain Dance was too bizarre.
Even for a Pokémon like Castform, capable of controlling the weather with its ability... the move being executed shouldn't be this exaggerated.
There must be some reason behind this... but for now, Terrance couldn't figure it out.
As the rain poured down, Castform underwent another transformation. Terrance got drenched in the rain.. feeling worse than usual.
"Mismagius, let's end this quickly, Phantom Force!"
Following Terrance's command, Mismagius vanished into the void, disappearing from Castform's sight.
"Castformmm~~~"
Seeing this, Castform's gaze turned fierce, scanning its surroundings... It was an odd feeling, seeing an adorable Pokémon with such a ferocious expression.
"Boom!!"
Unable to find any trace of Mismagius, Castform began attacking randomly as lightning bolts struck from the sky.
The lightning flashed erratically, one bolt after another, illuminating the thunderclouds with a terrifying light. The thunder sounded like explosions, rumbling loudly, flashing with astonishing brightness.
Even Terrance became cautious, fearing the lightning might strike him.
"Uh oh... the commotion on this hill seems too big, luckily we're in the center of the Safari Zone..."
Raindrops fell on the ground, splashing up sprays of water, accompanied by the rumbling thunder, creating a stifling atmosphere.
If one didn't know who was causing this commotion... they would never imagine it could be a Castform.
Castform knew moves like Rain Dance, Hydro Pump, and Thunder, but it was unimaginable that such a small body could manipulate such powerful weather.
"Why... what could be the reason..."
Even for Castform... it shouldn't have such mastery over weather control. If Castform could achieve this level...it would have become a powerful Pokémon sought after by everyone, like Tyranitar or Metagross.
However, while the thunder was terrifying, its attacks were also random. In its stealthy state, Mismagius didn't care at all, effortlessly dodging each lightning strike.
Seeing this, Castform seemed even angrier, and the lightning around it became more concentrated.
"Mismagiusss~~~"
Finally, when it was near Castform, a bolt of lightning struck Mismagius directly, causing it to writhe in pain as its body became visible.
One bolt, then another, then a third... followed by arcs of lightning grazing past Mismagius, elicited painful cries from it.
However, despite watching Mismagius being struck and its injuries worsening, Terrance didn't show any signs of worry.
Mismagius understood Terrance's command, exposing a vulnerability, deliberately letting itself be hit by Thunder...
Waiting for an opportunity... to "share the pain"!
"Ahhh~~~"
Around Mismagius and Castform, a mysterious bridge formed, constructed by enigmatic energy, directly linking the conditions of Castform and Mismagius.
This move had significant limitations, primarily in distance and the enemy's vigilance. Escaping it was also relatively easy if one wanted.
Overall, it was a difficult move to successfully execute.
However, if it's the first time it's being used, taking advantage of Castform's unfamiliarity with it, and the fact that Mismagius was currently under attack, no matter how Castform thinks, it wouldn't expect that, under these circumstances, Mismagius could still focus and execute its move
Under the thunder strikes, Mismagius endured the pain while calculating its stamina, then!
Under the influence of the mysterious waves, Castform, with nearly intact stamina, and Mismagius, struck by several lightning bolts... their stamina merged...and then got evenly distributed!!
In just an instant, Castform fell into a state of mental fatigue, its stamina declining, consciousness growing faint. It was precisely at this moment that the red beads on Mismagius began to flicker with an eerie light...illusion... successfully executed!
Castform is very vigilant. When Mismagius first used an illusion on Castform as a test, although it did not use its full strength, among many Pokémon, only this special Castform could subconsciously snap out of it.
Now, it was a direct attack. Even if Mismagius used a more sophisticated and powerful illusion, Castform was likely to be on guard. So, without taking some measures...it's unlikely to be effective given Castform's vigilance and awareness.
So, weakening Castform, then swiftly winning with Mismagius' illusion, was one way.
As for the equal distribution of stamina, Terrance didn't believe that a wild Pokémon could compare to a Mismagius trained in relevant aspects...
Resistance, endurance...Terrance always valued these factors that play a decisive role in battle....
Being hit by the same powerful move or being in the same weakened state, Terrance was confident that his Pokémon could handle it well.
And indeed, while both were in a state of low stamina, Castform had already begun to weaken, appearing listless and mentally dazed, but Mismagius, on the other hand, still remained remarkably lucid... able to deliver a powerful blow with its remaining strength.
The commotion caused by Castform was too big, forcing Terrance to resort to extreme measures to swiftly end the battle. While Terrance was confident that Mismagius could still have won in prolonged combat, but this method...undoubtedly was quicker.
This time, Castform fell directly into the trap, entering the illusion without realizing it, only seeing the scene of Mismagius being defeated by itself, and Terrance fleeing in defeat...
Little did it know... a Shadow Ball had silently descended upon its head while it was completely unguarded.
'It's over!' Terrance took a deep breath. With this Shadow Ball, Castform completely exhausted its stamina to circulate energy, but it remained to be seen... whether this battle could make it wholeheartedly acknowledge defeat…
But compared to that, what Terrance wanted to know more was...what was the reason behind this Castform's uniqueness!
