The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 12 The Unpredictable Sororia

The energy fluctuations emanating from the cursed doll were quite strong, reaching the peak of the "excellent" level, in no way inferior to the previous rotten wood demon.

The little wood spirits and pumpkin spirits that still had some fighting strength let out weak whimpers and barely managed to assume a defensive stance.

"Hey~, still not behaving yourself! Well then, old friend, I'll have to go clear the area, and be quick about it."

"Gah!"

The cursed doll let out a strange cry and its figure instantly transformed into a blur as it pounced on the group of little wood spirits and pumpkin demons.

In the blink of an eye, the last bit of resistance on the battlefield was wiped out, leaving no trace of any real resistance.

"Hehe, although they're all low-grade stuff, they're at least rare Ghost-types. Anyway, I brought enough Poké Balls this time, they can all be worth some money on the black market!"

Passing over the small wood spirits and pumpkin spirits scattered on the ground, the man arrived at the side of the rotten wood demon and the leader of the giant pumpkin spirits, and kicked the latter twice with force.

"This is really big. Although it's not of high grade, it'll probably scare off quite a few buyers."

Then, he stroked the rotten wood demon for a while and took out a seed that emitted a bright green spiritual light!

"Haha! It really is a 'Miracle Seed'! Luckily, the Cursed Doll's characteristic is 'Perception'. When I passed by here, I sensed that you were carrying such a treasure, which is why I have been risking my life to lurk and wait around here for several days!"

Originally, I was thinking about how to get it from you, you blockhead, without asking for help!

"I never expected to run into your tribal war! And it was all for naught, I'm just lucky to be rich! Haha~"

"I see! That cursed doll's trait is 'Perception,' no wonder it knew about the existence of the 'Miracle Seed'!"

Lin Ye used his mental power to search around again, and after confirming that there was no one else, he immediately used the necromancer contract to send a telepathic message to Zoroya.

Upon hearing this, the latter's eyes darted around, and then a wicked smile appeared on his face. He swayed on the spot and transformed into a pumpkin spirit of ordinary size!

Almost simultaneously, the cursed doll sensed the fluctuations in Zorua's energy and immediately stood in front of the man, making a "ga-ga~" warning sound.

But when they saw that the newcomer was just an ordinary pumpkin spirit, both the pumpkin spirit and the man felt relieved.

"How come there's still one survivor? Let's get rid of him quickly!"

The cursed doll's tattered little hands were wrapped in black light, then suddenly stretched out, turning into jet-black claws that grabbed at the "pumpkin spirit"!

The latter neither dodged nor avoided, but simply stood still and condensed a ball of black energy, which it then poured into the ground below.

The next instant, the "Shadow Claw" touched the "Pumpkin Spirit" without any hindrance, but there was no expected collision sound or scream.

The Cursed Doll's "Shadow Claw," powerful enough to tear apart the spirits of ordinary Ghost-type Pokémon, passed right through its body as if it had caught a phantom!

"Huh?!"

For the first time, obvious astonishment appeared in the scarlet button eyes of the cursed doll.

Its claw clearly hit its target, but the sensation was completely empty, as if it had struck a holographic projection.

The pale purple shadow that had been pierced by the "Shadow Claw" suddenly changed shape, revealing a fox with purple fur, which was none other than the ordinary evil attribute Zoroah!

This was a plan that Lin Ye had communicated to Soroya in advance via telepathy. After all, if "Shadow Claw" couldn't work on ordinary pumpkin spirits, it would inevitably arouse suspicion and lead the other side to take other measures.

On the contrary, it would be more reasonable for him to transform into the ordinary Zoroah, and he could even trick the opponent into making another foolish move.

At the same time, an ominous and resentful aura suddenly emanated from beneath the cursed doll's feet.

A jet-black energy shot out like a lurking venomous snake, biting hard into the cursed doll's body!

"Gahh ...

A piercing scream erupted from the cursed doll's zippered mouth, while a dim blue light, signifying a weakened ability, shone from its body!

"An eye for an eye!"

Zorro's signature move deals considerable damage while weakening the opponent's attack stat!

The Cursed Doll, being a Ghost-type, is already vulnerable to its own type moves. Now, with its strongest attack weakened, it immediately panicked.

"What! It's a Dark-type Zoroar! No wonder its Shadow Claw didn't do much damage."

Since he wasn't performing the act himself, the man assumed the effect was simply not obvious, and thus remained relatively calm, saying:

"Don't panic about the cursed doll. Judging from its energy level, it's only a normal 'excellent' level."

"I just used my special ability to fool you. If it really comes down to a fight, you're not without ways to counter Dark-types. Use Bug Pounce!"

"As expected, we fell for their trap! Master was indeed a master strategist!"

Seeing the cursed doll rushing towards him, its entire body enveloped in a pale blue light, Zoroah still did not dodge. Instead, he once again unleashed "An eye for an eye," displaying an air of determination to fight head-on.

"Hmph~, you think you're qualified to compete with my cursed doll?"

However, the man's mockery quickly froze, because Zoroa, who had been knocked away by the "pounce," did not suffer the expected heavy blow. He quickly stood up again and then transformed into a form he did not recognize at all.

Although Zorua's energy level is much lower, Ghost-type is still able to resist Bug-type, and Cursed Doll's attack has been weakened.

Conversely, the cursed doll that had been knocked away by a single blow was once again thoroughly cleansed by the dark, resentful energy that emerged from the ground.

Having been hit twice by a skill that countered its own abilities, even the cursed doll couldn't withstand it, and its stamina was in a very dangerous range.

It should be noted that although it has numerical advantages brought about by evolution, its energy level is only at the peak of "excellent" level, and it does not have an absolute advantage of being a whole realm ahead of Zoroa.

Moreover, its attack stat has been weakened again, and it has almost lost the will to fight this strange Pokémon whose type it doesn't even know.

This scene filled the man opposite him with both fear and greed. It was clearly a brand new Pokémon, most likely the undiscovered Zorro region form. How could he not be afraid, and how could he not be greedy?

Suddenly, something occurred to him!

"Oh right~, the 'Shadow Claw' attack just now wasn't ineffective, it seemed completely useless. Could this special Zoroar be a Normal type? I get it, I'm going to strike it rich!"

The man muttered to himself, then released a Pokémon that resembled a small human but was covered in muscles!

"Cursed Doll, hang in there a little longer, hold this Pokémon back, Machop, use Fighting-type moves to attack!"

The man's arm strength was comparable to Zoroa's, both just reaching the "Excellent" level. However, he was confident that with type advantage and the Cursed Doll keeping him in check, he could definitely capture this unique Zoroa.

The benefits at that time are simply unimaginable...

Despite the pain and weakness, the cursed doll unleashed the "Phosphorus Fire" skill, causing several eerie blue fireballs to appear out of thin air and slowly rotate around its body.

Anyway, its attack power has been weakened too much, so it's better to buff Zoroa and block its escape route.

Meanwhile, Arm Strength seized the opportunity to burst forth, steadily charging towards the white Zoroa, his fists covered in Fighting-type energy. This powerful and heavy blow was impossible to dodge.
