The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 105 A Cross-Era Clash of Values

The Sniper Tree Owl already possessed peak "Excellent" strength when it was throwing feather owls. After undergoing a transformation in its life level, it naturally and unsurprisingly crossed the "Professional" threshold!

Lin Ye was still very curious about the Sniper Tree Owl's combat capabilities in its new form, how many new skills it had mastered, and especially whether it could adapt well to the ghost attribute it had just transformed into.

Upon hearing Lin Ye's question conveyed through the contract, the Sniper Tree Wing immediately demonstrated its new skills to Lin Ye. Compared to its pre-evolution form, it has mastered the following new moves:

"Rapid Return", "Spiritual Strike", "Air Blade", "Ultimate Absorption", and "Shadow Stitch"!

Among them, "Shadow Stitch" is the exclusive move of the Sniper Tree Owl. It has good power and can also stitch up the opponent's shadow, making it difficult for them to escape!

Gastly was the first to emerge from the shadows, closing in on Touhou, a detached hand dangling from its shoulder:

"Brother Xiao, you're awesome! You look so cool. You'll have a lot of style when you go out robbing people in the future."

The owl rolled its eyes: "If I'm going to rob, it's to rob the rich and help the poor."

"Not bad, not bad~ I thought it was a really ugly bird, but it's actually quite handsome after evolving. My opinion of you has changed!"

The beauty-obsessed Snow Fairy floated up to it, looked it up and down, and said...

The sniper owl nodded reservedly: "The appearance of a revolutionary is not important. What is important is that although my body has become a ghost, the revolutionary fire in my heart still burns."

Mimikyu peeked out from her mascot costume with one eye and looked at it before saying, "This feather outfit... I can have your manager design a look for you later, and you could consider debuting with me."

"Debut? If becoming famous can help me convey my ideas, then it's not unacceptable," said Sniper Tree Owl thoughtfully.

"Old Owl, you must have used up a lot of energy just from evolving. Would you like me to cook you something to replenish your energy?" Azure Flame Blade Ghost stepped forward and asked with concern.

This sentence touched the Sniper Tree Wyvern deeply. After it evolved, everyone else only cared about how strong it was and how cool it looked, but only Azure Flame Blade Demon cared about whether it was hungry!

"Thank you for your concern, Comrade Cangyan. I just absorbed the energy from the Buna Devouring Grass and the 'Miracle Seed,' and I'm still quite energetic."

"Hmph, pretentious! You think you're so cool? You've got a huge clump of leaves tied to your head, trying to look like a 'straw man'!"

The mockers are naturally represented by two sword sheaths; their opposing ideologies and mutual sparring are to be expected.

"What, you counter-revolutionary bastard, you want to fight me?"

"I've disliked you for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that you were too young before and I was afraid of hurting you, I would have taught you a lesson long ago."

"Alright, alright~ I was planning to test the power of the Tree Owl anyway, and have it compete with one of you."

Since neither of you is willing to concede defeat, why don't you two have a friendly match? But let's agree on one condition: stop when you've made your point!

"Don't worry, Brother Lin! This little bird is a bit cocky since it just evolved. I'll give it a little pointers!"

"Leave it to me, mentor! I'll make sure this guy turns over a new leaf and rejoins the revolutionary ranks."

Lin Ye led the Pokémon to disperse, while Dual Blade Sheath and Decidueye found an open space and stood facing each other twenty meters apart.

Two swords were drawn simultaneously from their double scabbards, their blades gleaming with a metallic sheen, their tips pointing towards the sniper owl:

"You've only just evolved, so I'll let you go first. Don't say I'm bullying you!"

"I'm already the final evolved form, and you're only in the intermediate stage. It's my turn to give way!"

"That little bird is so noisy, why bother talking to it!"

The second consciousness of the twin sword sheaths was enraged. The next moment, the twin swords were wrapped in dark energy and spun like wheels as they rushed straight towards the sniper tree owl.

The sniper owl's eyes narrowed, and it reached into the tips of its wings like a hand, pulling out a feather-like arrow out of thin air.

Immediately afterwards, it used its wings as a bow, drew the bow and released the arrow, which shot out as fast as a blue lightning bolt!

"Bang!"

The arrow struck the flying double sword sheath directly, breaking it and sending it flying due to the sheath's high-speed spinning motion.

But this seemingly casual strike contained immense power, and the powerful blow from the double-scabbard was quietly neutralized and stopped midway.

Immediately afterward, before the twin sword sheaths could get any closer, the sniper tree owl had already taken flight, creating distance.

Although it lost its flight attribute after evolution, it still had wings, which turned into an incredibly eerie ghost attribute.

Even in regular flight, it's faster than before it evolved, not to mention the current Sniper Tree Owl's ability to transform into shadows.

"Master, why does the Sniper Tree Owl keep dodging? Is it afraid to fight the Twin Sword Sheaths head-on?" the little fox asked, poking its head out.

"It's not that I don't dare, it's that there's no need! The dual scabbards have superb sword intent, are best suited for close combat, and are also made of the most durable and resilient steel attribute."

On the other hand, the Sniper Tree Owl is a sharpshooter by nature and also possesses the "long-range" ability. There's no reason for it not to utilize its advantages and engage in close combat with the Twin-Sheathed Blade!

"I see. Master is indeed insightful and discerning."

Lin Ye rolled his eyes at Zoroya and said, "Alright, alright, you have far more practical experience than me, how could you not see that?"

You deliberately led me to say so much just to flatter me, didn't you?"

The little fox, its secret exposed, stuck out its tongue!

On the other side, seeing that the sniper tree owl was not engaging in close combat but instead focusing on ranged attacks, the double-sword sheath became anxious and began to wield its twin swords with ferocious speed, relentlessly pursuing it.

But the more anxious it gets, the more it proves that the sniper tree owl approach is correct; the more calm and collected you are, the more you can wear it down with ranged attacks.

However, the defensive capabilities of the dual sword sheaths are not to be underestimated, and its own understanding of swordsmanship is also extremely strong. Most of the attacks from the Tree Owl were neutralized by the swing of its blades.

After a fierce battle, both Pokémon were exhausted and began to pant, but their injuries had not accumulated much.

"Sigh, these two guys, one's good at close combat, the other's a master of long-range sniping. If they could work together, they'd be the perfect partners. It's just a pity..."

"It's a pity our ideologies clash; we're not on the same path at all!" Gastly suddenly interjected.

"Those two guys are too extreme! Unlike me, I just want to be a bandit king."

"How dare you say that about them? You're the most extreme one among us."

"Alright, alright, let's stop the match here! If we keep going, it'll be dawn soon!"

Lin Ye called a halt to this battle that transcended generations in terms of values, and hurried home with his Pokémon to rest. He still needed to return the Burasso to Officer Jenny tomorrow.

It was already late at night when she got home, and unsurprisingly, Qiao Yijing and the two tenants she had never met before were already asleep.

Lin Ye originally wanted to sleep in Qiao Yijing's room. Even if they didn't do anything, just holding that delicate body would be very comfortable.

But thinking that Qiao Yijing had worked hard during the day, he couldn't bear to disturb her rest, so he went back to his room to wash up and go to sleep.
