Chapter 150: Flame Body

Phew——

Beedrill's side was swirling with air, his scarlet eyes fixed on the approaching halo.

In the shadows, a silhouette appeared.

"Really!!."

Seeing what this Pokémon looks like, Natsu blurts out.

Like a Western-style wall lamp, Black lampshade and lamp holder, round glass face, which burns a blue-purple Arcane Fire flame, and two Yellows beside the flame little point.

"Lampent."

Ghost Type and Fire Element's Pokémon, Litwick's evolutionary type, can sense the existence of human or Pokémon's soul, absorb the breath of dying people, and more. Or even trick humans and Pokémon into the Spirit World, Absorb their life energy.

Lampent can fuel his own fire by Absorbing the soul or is life energy of the dead.

This Pokémon can't be said to be evil, as Absorb soul and life energy are pretty much their instinct.

Even their Trainer, it is difficult to avoid such problems.

So most Trainers reject Lampent's Pokémon, even if they have good battle strength.

Because as long as they are close to them and get along for a long time, even if it is not their original intention, they will naturally absorb the life energy and even the soul of nearby creatures.

It is reasonable to say

"Lampent is a registered Pokémon in the Unova Region, so far I haven't heard of Lampent appearing in other Regions. The distance between Kanto Region and Unova Region is not much closer. Impossible is natural migration."

In fact, the Pokémon that Natsu thought of just now is Lampent or its evolutionary Chandelure.

Because those shriveled Rattata and Raticate are very similar to the form retained after being absorbed by this Pokémon.

Just considering that this kind of Pokémon is unlikely to appear in the Kanto Region, so I didn't think about it.

But now, a Lampent appeared in front of him.

This is the first time I come into contact with this type of Pokémon, and I can't judge its strength.

It can only be known that the combination of Ghost Type and Fire Element Attribute, Beedrill will be at a great Attribute disadvantage.

"Beedrill."

Natsu shouted.

"Beer!"

Beedrill came forward.

Lampent didn't attack right away, Yellow's small eyes were fixed on Natsu, the dim-blue flames in the lampshade danced back and forth, causing the shadows on the walls of the sewer to sway.

Beedrill gently rubbed the twineedle glowing with dim light, and the golden lines on his back flickered.

Next second.

The two Pokémon seem to be moving in unison.

Boom——

I saw Beedrill's wings fluttering slightly, accompanied by a low hum and the arc of Jin Yellow, his body flashed and rushed towards Lampent.

And the flame in the middle of Lampent also swelled suddenly, a small ball the size of a thumb flashing with strange light, moved towards Beedrill slowly and drifted away in a treacherous forward trajectory.

"Confuse Ray."

Natsu brows tightly frowns, giving Beedrill a timely reminder.

I saw Beedrill's figure briefly blurred, with several identical silhouettes surrounding it.

Boo.

Confuse Ray touches one of them, but it instantly vanishes.

Beedrill, who was tight and seized the opportunity, surged in speed, instantly leveling the distance between the two sides, and X-Scissor Tsui azure's attack Smack Down.

bang!

Lampent is knocked back some distance.

But when Beedrill tried to chase after the victory, there was a brief moment of rigidity.

And there was a little scarlet fire on him.

"Beer!"

Beedrill, who was in pain, couldn't help shouting.

Burn state!

"Flame Body Characteristic Trait?"

Flame Body: There is a certain chance that a Pokémon with this Characteristic Trait Pokémon body will be touched, and it will fall into a burning state.

Of course, this Characteristic Trait also has a non-combat effect, which is that it can cut the hatching time of Pokémon eggs in half.

Most of Beedrill's moves and fighting skills are melee attacks. Pokémon with such a Characteristic Trait are not friendly to Beedrill.

And Fire Element Energy does more damage to Bug Type's Beedrill.

If it's a normal one-on-one fight, even if Beedrill has hit Lampent at this point, it's not good for it.

Unfortunately.

Natsu wasn't ready to leave Beedrill alone.

"Togepi, Heal Bell."

"Just yep."

Togepi swayed, mixed with the crisp sound of Soothe Bell, and the fused sound waves merged into Into Beedrill's body, the flames that were burning on it quickly extinguished.

See the fire star on Beedrill go out.

Lampent's Yellow eyes flickered, dim-blue's flames expanded again, and a few swaying Will-O-Wisp of the same color flew out, pounced on Beedrill, covering its range of movement.

"Safeguard."

Immediately afterwards, Togepi, who received the order, moved his small mouth, and a crystal white light burst out from his body, which quickly condensed into a layer around Beedrill's body Thin Barrier.

The existence of Safeguard allows protected Pokémon to be free from Status Condition, Chaos, and Sleep for a certain period of time.

Lampent's Will-O-Wisp happens to be blocked by Safeguard.

Beedrill's scarlet compound eyes flicker, and after adjusting its state, it strikes again, folding its figure so that it is not easy to be caught by the opponent.

One of the long needles has a halo of unearthed Yellow, and strands of Ground Type energy are intertwined and converged.

Lampent reacted quickly, shaking his body and starting to Minimize slowly.

Attempt to evade the Beedrill attack with the Minimize move.

However, in Lampent's eyes, seven or eight almost identical attack ghosts appeared in Lampent's eyes, covering the entire reduced range.

Lampent had never seen such an attack before, and was a little flustered, not knowing which way to dodge.

In the end, those ghost images dissipated in an instant when the end of the long needle, which was packed with heavy Ground Type energy, came into contact with its body.

Bang——

Like a catapult, Lampent's body returned to its original size and flew backwards.

Ground Type moves have restraint on its Attribute.

Natsu intentionally increases the striking surface of Beedrill, whether it is the Ground Type drill that has been mastered, or the Dark Type Knock Off that is being learned, in order to avoid this kind of restraint in the face of Attribute. In Pokémon, there are no countermeasures.

And.

In a bit of luck this time around, the plunger hit Lampent's weak spot, prompting Beedrill's Snipe Shot hand, the Characteristic Trait, to trigger.

The control of Attribute and the huge damage directly caused Lampent, who was bombarded on the wall, to lose the combat capability.

Natsu's eyes flashed.

Poké Ball is thrown.

Precision hit.

Lampent is a Pokémon that can cause unconscious damage to the Trainer itself, but after all, it is a Pokémon in the Unova Region, and there are not many Pokémon in the Kanto Region. It can be sold as a rare Pokémon.

Besides, this Lampent should have senior-level strength and is worth more or less money.

But in the next second, Natsu's pupils shrank suddenly.

I saw that when the Poké Ball hit the Lampent with an arc in the air, the Poké Ball did not open, but was bounced aside.

This is Lampent.

Not Wild Pokémon!
