The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

This feeling gives it a special power.

Zarude, despite being a Mythical Pokémon, is practically useless in combat.

Its worst feature is its ability; Leaf Guard is practically useless, a completely useless ability like Meganium's.

It's not as good as other legendary Pokémon with the same blank ability. Although their Pressure ability is also bad, it's still better than your Leaf Guard.

At least the pressure from others can measure speed and reduce the opponent's skill PP, but Leaf Defense can't do anything.

It's an indomitable spirit that's even more ineffective than a blank canvas.

And negative traits such as laziness, weakness, and slow start are better.

The attribute combination is also not good; Grass + Dark results in 7 weaknesses, 6 resistances, 1 immunity, and 5 type advantages.

It has a total of 6 double weaknesses and 1 quadruple weakness. The key is that apart from poison and insect, the remaining 5 weaknesses are all popular attributes: fire, ice, fairy, fighting, and flying.

He was killed in a quick turn.

Furthermore, its coverage is only average, with only 5 types it is effective against: Psychic, Ghost, Rock, Ground, and Water.

Its base stats are actually Zarude's best aspect in combat; after all, it's a Mythical Pokémon, with a total of 600, so it can't be too bad.

The stat distribution is also good; the Special Attack stat is only 70, which is the lowest. The durability is good, but unfortunately, it is dragged down by too many weaknesses.

The output is barely acceptable.

But the speed would be better if it were a bit faster; 105 speed is a bit awkward, as it doesn't allow for surprise attacks.

Its moveset is unremarkable; its high-powered STAB moves include Power Whip and Knock Off, but unfortunately, it lacks Sucker Punch.

The exclusive skill Jungle Healing is just Grass-type Crescent Prayer, not as good as Cresselia.

Cresselia has such high durability, and so does Zarude. Zarude shouldn't even try to take advantage of Cresselia.

Cresselia is a veteran member of the Los Angeles team, and he's still very strong since the game was released. Zarude, on the other hand, has been absent since the eighth installment and hasn't been seen since the current era.

I won't even mention that Cresselia is a second-level god and doesn't occupy a first-level god position, but you, Zarude, are a phantom beast, yet you still occupy a first-level god position in the war of gods.

Let alone a battle of gods, even in a regular battle, the rules against using any level one or level two gods or phantom beasts mean that Zarude wouldn't be able to participate.

Why don't I use Magic Masked Cat or Cunning Tengu? They're much better than Zarud.

Therefore, Zarude is almost the worst mythical beast; it should just sit at the same table as Keldeo.

It's hard to imagine that this is a mythical Pokémon designed in the eighth generation, a generation where power levels have increased dramatically.

If the previous generation of Pokémon had poor or overly conservative designs, that would be one thing.

But look at what kind of monsters the eighth generation has.

Excellent damage dealers include Draco, Gorilla, Kumamon, Calyrex, Zacian, Zamazenta, Reggie, Reggie the Elder, and others.

Excellent support characters also include the Steward, the Long-haired Troll, and others.

These Pokémon are all incredibly powerful, not only with excellent base stats but also with amazing abilities.

Mind Maker, Mischievous Heart, Centaur, Invisible Fist, Electrocutioner, Dragon Jaw, Unyielding Sword, Unbreakable Shield, Grass Maker, etc.

These are all god-level characteristics!!!

Why is it that when it comes to Zarude, it's just a piece of crap with Leaf Defense?

The Zarude in its father form is no different from the regular Zarude in terms of combat power. Their total and distributed base stats are the same, as are their traits, attributes, and move pool.

The only difference is in appearance; in his father form, Zarude wears a purple-pink cloak with the number 251 written on it.

251 is Celebi's Pokédex number, and purple is also the color of Shiny Celebi.

These little details really deserve praise for GF.

Back to the present.

"Ash, Pikachu, are you alright?" Coco asked worriedly.

After spending a day together, Coco can now say some simple words in human language.

Although there are still some bumps along the way, Coco can now pronounce Ash and Pikachu very fluently.

"We're fine."

Coco breathed a sigh of relief and, pointing to herself and Zarude in her father's form, said in broken human language,

“Coco…father and son…”

Ash understood that Coco was trying to tell him that the Zarude in front of him was the adoptive father who raised Coco.

But the Zarude was very unhappy. It jumped down from the tree and walked up to Coco.

He angrily rebuked Coco in the language of Pokémon.

"You just used human language!"

You suddenly disappeared and then brought humans back. What exactly do you want?

“Dad, you know everything, right? I’m supposed to be human, right?” Coco replied coldly in Pokémon language.

Upon hearing this, Abba Sarud's eyes widened, then he reached up and rubbed his forehead, looking quite troubled.

Seeing this, Coco pointed at Ash and continued to ask,

"Dad, please tell me the truth. I am a human being, just like him, not Zarude, right?"

“No, you are Zarude!” Father Zarude seemed to have lost his composure, grabbing Coco’s shoulders and shouting.

But Coco pushed it away, tears welling in her eyes, and yelled at it in return.

Stop lying to me!

I wanted my dad to see him, that's why I brought Xiaozhi back.

Besides him, there are many other people who look just like me.

They shone colorful lights into the sky, which humans and Pokémon enjoyed together, and everyone laughed heartily.

The Sarud would never do something like this.

My dad taught me everything, right? How to find food, how to run, and how to jump.

But why, why won't you tell me anything about humans?

I don't want to hurt you.

After Abba Sarud finished speaking, he placed his hand on Coco's shoulder, intending to soothe her somewhat out-of-control emotions. However, Coco pushed his hand away and continued to shout through her tears.

"Stop lying to me. I've always found it strange that I get along so well with Pokémon."

But if I were human, then it would make sense.

Since I can get along with Pokémon, I might as well stay human.

These words felt like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, utterly breaking him.

It was stunned for a few seconds, then tilted its head back, closed its eyes, sighed, and seemed to age several years in an instant.

Then he slowly opened his mouth and said,

“I knew this would happen sooner or later. You’re right, you’re human, and I’m not your real father, but…”

"Who am I?"
