Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 275 Evolution, Night Demon!

The gravity of the atmosphere suddenly increased, and the unsuspecting Night Demon was completely caught off guard by the Wandering Night Spirit's counterattack. Hiding in the shadows, it was pulled by gravity and its entire body slammed hard into the ground, creating a huge crater.

"Shadow Fist!"

Ash naturally wouldn't let this rare opportunity slip by. After briefly suppressing Dusknoir using gravity, Ash immediately gave the order to give chase.

The Wandering Night Spirit's right fist was shrouded in black mist. With a punch, the huge black fist shadow flew towards the Night Spirit's location with lightning speed.

Succeeded?

Just as the Wandering Night Spirit was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the Shadow Fist was about to land on the Night Demon, the situation on the field suddenly reversed in the next second.

Another black barrier quickly opened, and the area covered by the gravity of the Wandering Night Spirit was instantly taken back by the Night Demon.

The two gravitational fields confronted each other, and soon the black barrier turned into countless dust particles as if two panes of glass had collided.

At this moment, the Night Demon's body also broke free from its restraints. Facing the shadow fist that had already reached it, the Night Demon immediately raised its arms, and a black mist that was even deeper than that surrounding the Wandering Night Spirit's arms also surrounded the Night Demon's arms.

The Shadow Ball bombarded the Night Demon without even causing a ripple; the Night Demon absorbed all the power of the Shadow Fist.

Wow, that was a really quick reaction...

Ash frowned. Although he knew that the strength of the Dusknoir in front of him was not to be underestimated, it was still quite remarkable that a wild Pokémon could come up with a way to break gravity in such a short time.

"DUS!"

Dusknoir disappeared from Ash and Dusknoir's sight once again. After experiencing it once, Ash realized that the same method would not work on Dusknoir.

If Ash loses his means of countermeasures, and can't even locate Dusknoir, this place will become Dusknoir's territory. To avoid this, Ash has no choice but to activate his Aura to locate Dusknoir.

"Above! Use will-o'-the-wisps for protection!"

The moment Ash sensed a shadow emerging from beneath the Darkrai hidden high in the sky and hurtling towards Dusknoir, he quickly shouted to warn Dusknoir to defend itself.

Out of absolute trust in Ash, Dusknoir immediately manipulated countless will-o'-the-wisps to swirl around itself, forming a natural protective shield.

"boom--"

The shadowy figure of the night bombarded the protective shield of the will-o'-the-wisp, scattering countless sparks.

"Wandering Night Spirit, use—hmm?"

After another round of battles, Ash was about to command Dusty Ranger to launch another counterattack, but before he could even shout, he noticed something was wrong with Dusty Ranger.

"Sa!!"

The moment the light from the explosion faded, the Wandering Night Spirit's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The wandering spirit bent over, clutching its head in pain with both hands.

Yes......

Is it chaotic?

Even with his extensive experience, Ash couldn't help but pause for a moment when he saw Dusknoir's symptoms before daring to make such a guess.

The skill that Night Demon can use to confuse opponents is probably Strange Light.

But the problem is that the Night Demon hasn't made any other moves since then. Even if it wanted to use the Strange Light, how did it manage to do so?

After simply eliminating the absolutely impossible scenarios, Xiao Zhi suddenly seemed to understand what the correct answer was.

Can we utilize the light generated during a skill collision?

After all, Dusknoir fell into a state of confusion after its Will-o'-the-Wisp shield collided with Nightshade. Apart from the fact that the opposing Dusknoir could use the light of its skills to use a strange beam, Ash couldn't think of any other possibility.

"DUS~"

Seeing that the Wandering Night Spirit seemed to have lost the ability to continue resisting it, the Night Demon descended from the sky with a satisfied air, like a victor.

Although Dusknoir doesn't have lips, Ash seems to be able to see the upturned corners of its mouth.

After all, compared to the Night Demon, the Wandering Night Spirit was already the weaker party, and now the already weaker party has become even weaker. No matter how you look at it, the Wandering Night Spirit seems to have lost the ability to turn the tide.

Looking at the scene before him, Ash pondered for a moment how to break the deadlock.

Should I use Aura? But even if I use Aura against a Pokémon in a confused state, I'll still need time to communicate with them before they return to normal. But how long will that take...?

"Forget it, let's just get started!"

After weighing the pros and cons, Ash no longer hesitated. He took out the "Spirit Cloth" he had prepared beforehand and threw it at the location of Dusknoir.

"Got it!!"

As Ash shouted, he also used his Aura to transmit the words directly into Dusty Pledge's mind. Perhaps it was because the chaotic state was relieved in that brief moment, or perhaps it was because Ash's command was not difficult to complete.

Despite still appearing to be in great pain, the Wandering Night Spirit managed to raise its head with difficulty, and its body moved forward, taking a few steps to catch the Spirit Cloth that Ash threw out.

It's worth mentioning that the Night Spirit's every move was observed by the Night Demon. Even the Spirit Cloth flew right in front of the Night Demon. If the Night Demon wanted to snatch the Spirit Cloth and stop the Night Spirit from evolving, it could have done so. However, the Night Demon ignored what was happening before its eyes and had no intention of intercepting it midway.

“SA——”

The moment the Wandering Night Spirit's palm touched the Spirit Realm Cloth, a dazzling white light instantly enveloped its entire body. In an instant, under the white light, the Wandering Night Spirit's body began to grow even larger.

The light of evolution quickly dissipated, and what stood before the Night Demon was no longer the slightly weaker Wandering Night Spirit, but an existence of equal strength.

"It evolved at this time... But it's true, even Ash would have a hard time defeating this Dusknoir if it didn't evolve..."

Ah Xun, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but murmur with some emotion after seeing the evolved Night Demon.

......

P.S.: Ugh, last Friday's mock exam was a disaster, and the midterms are next Monday. Teaching this class is really exhausting.
