Chapter 66 Hotel Room Booking
With a flick of its metallic claws, the "Dragon Head Groundhog" unleashed a jet-black, malevolent energy beam.
Although the energy of this attack was of the ghost attribute, it was not the common "Shadow Claw," but rather an energy body that resembled countless vengeful spirits, which directly struck the abdomen of the desert dragonfly.
The latter let out a wail of pain, then swung its long tail, instantly transmitting a surge of pure ground energy to the earth.
In an instant, the arena began to rapidly turn into sand, then violently churned, as if it intended to trap "Dragon Head Groundhog" with "Quicksand Abyss".
But the next moment, an unbelievable scene unfolded.
The "dragon-headed ground squirrel," which had dug its way out alive, transformed into a feathered owl before completely sinking into the "quicksand abyss." With a flap of its wings, it flew away, leaving the desert dragonfly's hand empty-handed.
"How is that possible!"
While Shun and Flygon were still stunned, attacks from other Pokémon followed one after another.
A Shadow Ball came hurtling towards him, but it was easily shattered by a Desert Dragonfly's Dragon Tail Sweep.
But the subsequent horizontal slash from the twin scabbards forced it to unleash its full power by raising a pair of "dragon claws" to meet the attack.
After a stalemate, Desert Dragonfly finally suppressed the dual sword sheaths, but Snow Fairy appeared beside him again at some point, raising both hands and blowing out a "Frozen Wind".
The desert dragonfly's pupils contracted. Having just finished one attack, it didn't have time to gather new energy and could only struggle to take flight and evade.
But as soon as it gained a little distance, the Desert Dragonfly sensed something was wrong, because the snow fairy below was displaying much weaker ice and snow power than before, which was not the power that a "professional" level should have.
Before it could think it through, an identical snow fairy appeared several meters behind it, its "Frozen Ray" striking the desert dragonfly with pinpoint accuracy.
The latter was instantly frozen into a block of ice upon being hit, and crashed heavily to the ground!
The snow fairy who had feigned an attack earlier gave a seductive smile, then spun around and transformed into a small black fox, the very evil form that Zoroah often disguised himself in.
It turns out that the "Illusion" ability taught by Zoroark not only allows the user to copy the abilities of the imitator and increase the STAB boost after transformation, but also allows the user to learn the moves that the transformed user has already mastered more quickly, provided that the user can learn the moves themselves.
It was with this ability that Zoroah was able to quickly master the "Digging" and "Frozen Wind" techniques last night, which enabled him to perform those maneuvers just now.
Moreover, as long as it imitates enough Pokémon in the future, Zoroar's move pool will soon become incredibly powerful.
It's worth noting that its evolved form, Zoroark, is a veritable master of tactical moves.
With this development of "illusion", trainers no longer need to worry about their trainer "learning" side moves!
"No, that's impossible. How could a mere 'Excellent' level Zorua's 'Illusion' ability be so convincing?"
"That kid definitely cheated; this bet can't stand!"
The two henchmen reacted and released a night owl and a large wolfhound respectively, attempting to threaten Lin Ye.
But Xiaoyao immediately stood in front of the latter and released the "professional" peak hyperactive ape, which instantly shocked the two of them.
"Xiao Shun, if you continue to pester me like this, I'm afraid we'll lose even the last bit of our friendship."
"No, no~, they made all this on their own initiative, of course I'm willing to accept the consequences of my bet."
Xiao Shun immediately shouted at the two to leave, then gave Lin Ye a "there's plenty of time" look, gritting her teeth and muttering, "You just wait."
After saying that, Xiao Shun turned to leave, but unexpectedly Xiao Yao called her back!
"Wait a minute~"
"Xiaoyao, is there something else you need to talk to me about?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Xiaoshun's eyes.
"Of course, you started this bet, so you'd better pay the venue fee before you leave."
"Okay~"
Xiao Shun agreed with a dark face, then turned and left. Only after he had completely gone did Xiao Yao's anger turn to joy, and she smiled at Lin Ye, saying:
"Hehe~, this guy's shameless. I've rejected him so many times, but he should give up this time. Thanks a lot, Lin Ye, for helping me! Oh, and here's the 'charcoal' you won!"
Lin Ye took the "charcoal" and found that the item was warm to the touch. He could vaguely feel the terrifying energy dormant within it. Once it erupted, it would be as fierce and intense as a volcano.
Even with Shun's background, giving away such a mid-level item for nothing is definitely a huge loss, and he'll probably get a severe scolding when he gets back.
After putting away the "charcoal," Lin Ye feigned confusion: "Isn't it my duty to teach a lesson to someone who's eyeing my girlfriend?"
"So, when you said I was your boyfriend, Yao, it was just to make Shun give up on you? If that's the case, then just pretend I didn't say anything!"
"Of course not!"
Xiao Yao blurted it out, and after realizing what she had said, her pretty face immediately turned red with embarrassment, and her heart raced so fast that Lin Ye could hear it.
"So that means you agree?"
Xiaoyao lowered her slightly flushed head and let out a soft "Mmm~" like a mosquito.
Lin Ye chuckled and gently lifted her chin with his hand:
"Can I kiss my girlfriend?"
Xiaoyao neither spoke nor dodged, letting him gently press his forehead against hers.
"Alright, it's official now. From this day forward, you are my girlfriend, Lin Ye's girlfriend."
Xiaoyao touched her forehead, still a little dazed:
"That's...that's it?"
"What, you want the whole thing so soon? I'm fine with it!"
Xiaoyao punched him: "You're so annoying!"
Lin Ye laughed heartily, and after he had laughed enough, he took Xiao Yao's hand again:
"Let's go. Now that we're officially a couple, we should celebrate. Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"
"It doesn't matter, anywhere is fine as long as I'm with you~"
After leaving the venue, the two had a candlelight dinner and then strolled around the beach in Lilycove for a long time, enjoying the sea breeze.
Xiao Yao let Lin Ye lead her from the gently lapping beach to the bustling commercial district.
It was quite late when Lin Ye finally asked Xiao Yao, "Didn't you say you found a nice place in Shuijing City? Let me take you back so you can get familiar with the area."
Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment and said, "The villa I rent is indeed nice, but it's shared with others, which is a bit inconvenient. Why don't you come to my place?"
Xiao Yao's soft voice was filled with trepidation and shyness, but Lin Ye could only smile wryly.
Xiao Yao's initiative pleased him, but if he were to bring her back to Qiao Yijing's villa, wouldn't that cause a harem fire? So he quickly said:
"Actually, my situation is similar; I also share an apartment. Maybe I should just book a hotel room."
