Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

Chapter 218 Inviting the Ark to Possess One

Breloom patted its chest. "I've been training hard lately and have successfully converted all the loot from Rayquaza's ruins. This time, let me deal with them. You just provide cover for me."

oh oh oh!

The Breath-shroom's strength has increased dramatically?!

Whimsicott suddenly became excited, stepped aside, and started cheering for the Breath-shroom while preventing the Poison Rose expedition team inside from retaliating.

The velvet arrived in front of the shield formed by the core of the base, stood firmly, its thick legs slightly apart, its center of gravity lowered, and it assumed a solid horse stance.

Then, it took a deep breath, slowly brought its right fist to its waist, and its muscles visibly tensed up. A solid aura began to rise slowly from its center.

This poised and ready stance immediately piqued the curiosity of all the Pokémon watching from all around.

"What is this mushroom trying to do? Is it going to break through that shield all by itself? That shield looks really thick."

"Wow, look! Its fist is gathering energy of various attributes!"

As the velvet took its stance and began to gather its strength, various colors of energy appeared on its fists, indicating that it had mastered moves such as Thunder Punch, Fire Punch, and Ice Punch.

More than that!

A smile appeared on the mushroom's lips, and the next moment, an invisible yet heavy pressure, as imposing as a mountain, suddenly spread out from it!

The invisible fluctuations caused sparks to flicker on the surfaces of several fog-shrouded mechanisms around them, clearly indicating that they had been affected and malfunctioned.

"This, this is... the pressure of a Champion-level Pokémon!" A Corviknight with extensive experience exclaimed from the group of Pokémon, its voice filled with shock.

This mushroom's strength has actually reached the Elite Four level!

"No wonder...no wonder they were able to clear Rayquaza's god-level ruins! So there was such a powerful figure hidden in our team!"

"This is going to be interesting! For a Heavenly King-level being to break through this kind of maze shield, it's a piece of cake!"

The green caterpillar, perched on the back of the stinging jellyfish, looked around excitedly, wishing it could immediately find another betting platform and stake all its assets on the Fat Caterpillar Guild!

The fact that the Hata-shroom has demonstrated its Champion-level strength means that unless the opposing side also has an existence of the same or even stronger level, or can find some overpowered one-time item in the maze, there is absolutely no way to confront it head-on.

Breloom is already at the gates, and with the might of an Elite Four member, it shattered the fixed shield of a maze. In the eyes of almost all Pokémon, Jigglypuff's victory is a foregone conclusion.

The lizard mushroom clearly thought so too. Hearing everyone's discussion and feeling the admiring gaze from the wind sprite beside it, it was very proud.

However, the other side didn't try to cause any trouble. They were probably scared out of their wits, haha!

Today is the day I, the Breath of the Breath, will rise to fame!!!

The energy has been almost fully built up, time to throw a punch!

Face the storm!

His long-awaited right fist was unleashed like a cannonball!

Wherever the fist passed, the air was compressed to an extreme degree, producing a series of ear-piercing sonic booms, and colorful energy rays left dazzling trails.

This punch was as fast as lightning and as heavy as a mountain collapsing!

"boom--!!!"

A deafening roar suddenly erupted!

The hyacinth mushroom's fist slammed solidly into the energy shield.

The point of impact erupted with blinding sparks and turbulent energy, hissing and crackling, instantly transforming the area into a fierce welding site, causing the surrounding Pokémon to squint.

However, the expected scene of the shield shattering did not occur.

After enduring such a terrifying blow, the shield's surface only rippled violently, yet it still stood stubbornly, firmly blocking the fist of the Hata Mushroom, which contained the power of the Heavenly King!

It's... at a stalemate?

The Pokémon watching held their breath, their eyes wide open.

This shield is far stronger than I imagined!

The straw mushroom was also startled, but it refused to give up. It gritted its teeth and poured all its strength into its fist, trying to penetrate it in one go.

At that moment of stalemate—

hum!

The surface of the shield suddenly shone with an unprecedented light!

A powerful recoil force surged through the mushroom's fists and arms, slamming into its entire body!

"What?!"

The mushroom only had time to have this thought flash through its mind before its entire body was sent flying backward uncontrollably!

"Bang! Boom—!"

It first crashed heavily into the solid rock wall of the maze, then rolled awkwardly to the ground, bounced twice, and finally managed to regain its balance.

The mushroom, half-kneeling on the ground, looked up in astonishment, its mind blank.

I...I'm a super king!

I'm already a superstar!

The script shouldn't be like this!

Shouldn't he shatter the shield with a single punch, receive admiration from everyone, and then win the match in glory?

Why did it turn out like this?

It scrambled to its feet, staring blankly at the seemingly indestructible shield, which appeared completely undamaged.

Even attacks at the Heavenly King level couldn't break it...

Can our side really win?

The Tank Skunk and the Double Gas Zubat inside let out extremely arrogant laughter.

"Hahahaha! So what if they're at the Heavenly King level? They'll all vanish into thin air before our shields!"

"I'm dying of laughter! He posed for so long, and then... hahaha, did you see that, bro? It got bounced off! Hahahaha!"

"Dragons don't roar, tigers don't howl, you little straw mushroom, how laughable! With this kind of strength, you dare to attack us?"

The Pokémon watching were also astonished.

"Even a Heavenly King-level expert couldn't break through?"

"No, if that's the case, does it mean the Poison Rose Expedition Team has strength even greater than the Heavenly King level, perhaps even Champion level? Otherwise, why couldn't they break through the opponent's shield either?"

"No, no, let's keep watching the game."

The noisy bird next to them was the most agitated, running up to Detective Meerkat and yelling, "Referee, I'm reporting them for fouling! How could anyone possibly clear a maze of this level?!"

The meerkat detective wiped away his cold sweat. They could only detect whether the maze had been tampered with, but they couldn't detect what kind of combat power was needed inside.

"Quiet! Quiet! Everything is legal and compliant, and it's all done according to the contract. Don't try to cause trouble."

It then reassured them, "As far as I know, the Poison Rose Expedition doesn't even have a Heavenly King-level combatant, so they can't break through this shield. So don't worry, if neither side can break through the other's territory today, then this bet will be void."

On the field, the Breloom also realized this, and after its initial confusion, it quickly came to its senses.

Although we can't break through the enemy's shield, as long as we defend our territory, the enemy won't be able to breach it either.

Thinking of this, it turned around and prepared to call the wind sprite back.

But just then, the wind sprite showed an excited expression as it looked at the thick shield in front of it.

This kind of shield should be able to withstand a lot of seed machine gun shots.

The mushroom cap was taken aback. "Do you want to try it?"

The wind sprite smiled sheepishly and nodded.

This time it has a secret weapon: it can summon the Ark to possess it and give the Ark a power-up.

If this shield is broken, the guild will win, and Jigglypuff will become the number one guild in Littleroot Town. Tank Skunk will merge with it, greatly increasing Jigglypuff's strength.

That would surely make the chatterbox very happy.

At the same time, with more Pokémon available, there will be more opportunities for collaboration with the manor in the future.

Not only for the guild's future, but also for the manor's better future, we must win today.

Thinking of this, the wind sprite stepped forward and came to the front of the shield.

"Hahaha, you guys still won't give up~"

Three heads peeked out from behind the base, sized up the wind sprite in front of them, made a mocking remark, and then quickly retreated.

The double-barreled gas even stuck out its chubby butt, as if to say, "Come and hit me! Come and hit me!"

The wind spirits were also going to help, which naturally pleased them.

I remember this wind sprite is quite strong. It would be best to exhaust all its stamina and energy here, so that when they attack later, the opponent will be powerless to fight back!

As for the remaining Pikachu, we haven't seen it make a move much, so it's probably not anything special.

When Tank Skunk first met Pikachu, it inexplicably thought the other was a big shot, but now that it thinks about it, it's probably just someone who can be easily defeated with two punches.

Unaffected by their presence, the wind sprite carefully observed the shield, eventually finding a spot to fire its seed machine gun in a rotating motion from that angle, maximizing its chances of hitting the shield.

The Pokémon nearby looked puzzled as they saw Whimsicott preparing to attack.

"Even a Champion-level Breloom can't handle it, so what can this Whimsicott do?"

"I've heard of this mushroom before; I've heard it's invincible throughout Weibai Town. But I've never heard of this wind sprite."

"Could it be that the Wind Fairy is actually the strongest member of this team?"

The surrounding onlookers became even more animated in their discussion, and Detective Meerkat frowned beside them.

Although their expedition headquarters keeps records of the strength of each member, this data comes from reports submitted by the various guilds themselves, and much of it is outdated, with many pieces of information dating back many years.

Unless someone has participated in major public competitions and has a clear track record, it is difficult to ascertain their true strength.

This wind sprite is clearly not included.

Therefore, they really don't know the Wind Fairy's current strength.

On the field, under the expectant gazes of everyone, the Wind Fairy took a deep breath.

It knew very well that its current strength was about the same as that of the Breath-shroom boss, and it was probably impossible to break through it.

Although Whimsicott gained more from Rayquaza's legendary ruins than Breloom, Breloom was significantly stronger than Whimsicott before.

The reason why Whimsicott can have its moment of glory in the maze is entirely due to the terrain's limitation on Breloom's strength.

Feng Yao knew in his heart that he might only have one chance to go all out.

If it doesn't work on the first try...

Having thought this through, it finally made up its mind, its eyes fixed intently on the shield, and then...

Please possess the Ark!

The ark, thousands of miles away, instantly sensed something and closed its eyes.

Resonate in harmony, activate!

Soon after, he felt his consciousness begin to move rapidly, as if entering a spatial tunnel.

When I opened my eyes, everything in front of me had changed.

He was hovering in the air, with a thick shield in front of him. Below him, a large circle of Pokémon were gathered, all looking up at him. The Breloom below had a serious expression on its face, as if it was protecting him.

In a short moment, everything that had just happened entered Fangzhou's mind, and he instantly understood what had occurred.

Do we need to break through this shield that even a Heavenly King-level expert cannot break?

Fangzhou understood why the Wind Fairy had summoned him.

He's cheating!

Open! Open! Open!

Fangzhou sensed it carefully and found that the Wind Fairy had already eaten all the food that could enhance her, so it was no problem for her to unleash the peak power of a Heavenly King.

But it's not enough.

Enhancement power!

Start it up!

The next moment, a beam of emerald light enveloped the wind sprite's body!

A terrifying grass-type energy began to accumulate wildly like a storm!

"No, no, boss, I have a bad feeling about this..." The double-gauge gas next to him stammered.

"Yeah, boss! I feel like I've seen the sun! Ugh, my eyes hurt so much!"

As energy accumulated, the Whimsicott did not use the Spinning Flash Seed Machine Gun as it had expected. Instead, a huge green energy condensed above its head.

At that moment, the Pokémon around seemed to see a green sun!

Zubat, a Pokémon that prefers to live in dark caves, is naturally afraid of light. After being hit by Whimsicott, it seems it can't take it anymore.

The tank skunk was starting to panic, but it tried to remain calm. "Don't worry, don't worry, it definitely can't break this shield. We don't need to be afraid of it!"

It roared, sounding somewhat fierce but actually cowardly.

In the distance, Pikachu, who was guarding the house, showed an interested expression.

It was about to make a move, having witnessed the scene of the tank skunks secretly plotting.

Originally, they planned to secretly steal their keys and then, like the script Tank Skunk had previously devised, create a Pikachu character who was both brave and intelligent.

Pikachu leads everyone to defeat the Poison Rose Expedition Team!

As a result, seeing that the wind sprite was actually going to confront this solid shield head-on, it decided to wait and see.

Then, it looked puzzled. Why did it seem to sense the Ark's aura from the wind sprite?

Weird.

The surrounding Pokémon, watching from below the field, gaped in astonishment at the increasingly terrifying energy pressure in the air.

Suddenly, someone yelled, "Run!"

The next moment, as if waking from a dream, everyone realized what was happening and rushed out of the maze.

The shockwave from this attack is enough to take away many Pokémon, or at least severely injure them.

They're on the front lines watching the drama unfold, but they'd rather not get involved themselves.

"Run! Run! It feels like it's going to explode!"

Detective Mongoose glanced at the running Pokémon, then at the terrifying missiles in the air, hesitated for two seconds, and then took off running away.

In the air, the energy missile above the wind sprite's head had been fully charged, and its terrifying power shrouded its entire face in darkness.

Holy crap! Mega Zygarde!

The next moment, the missile was launched!

A mushroom cloud rose slowly through the maze.
