Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

"Where else could he be? He couldn't have just died in a fight..."

Wang Jin said this and looked further away.

There were some very well-hidden Psychic Pokémon in the bushes at the back, but Wang Jin could still see them through the unusual colors and movements in the bushes.

Lan Ya and he were less than five meters away from the broken stone pillar in front, but Wang Jin still couldn't find the leader, the King Dragon Scorpion.

"Forget it." Wang Jin gave up the idea of ​​fighting the King Scorpion and commanded Blue Crow to continue flying forward.

"Chirp!"

Suddenly, the Blue Crow slid sideways quickly, causing Wang Jin to be shaken violently as well.

They saw a slender figure in deep purple suddenly leap up from in front of them, and thrust forward with a tail as big as a human head. If Blue Crow hadn't spotted it in time, it would have almost hit Wang Jin.

"It's hiding behind the stone pillar!"

Wang Jin couldn't help but be surprised, but he didn't have time to think whether this dragon king scorpion was used to it or had been prepared for it. He commanded Blue Crow to take him away from the direction of the dragon king scorpion.

This big purple scorpion was perched on the central stone pillar, staring at Wang Jin with an unfriendly and fierce look. Its oval head covered with spikes could actually rotate as its eyes moved, almost twisting behind its neck.

Wang Jin also saw the information about the Dragon King Scorpion:

[Name: Dragon King Scorpion]

[Level: Level 40 (Gym Master Level)]

[Feature: Sniper]

[Items to carry: none]

"Blue Crow! Air Blade!"

Wang Jin shouted loudly, and the retreating blue crows above also flapped their wings.

Two sharp air blades immediately appeared and accurately hit the purple shell of the King Dragon Scorpion.

As the Blue Crow's wings continued to flap, sharp air blades appeared continuously, forming an impenetrable white giant net, cutting towards the King Dragon Scorpion paused on the pillar.

"Mmm!"

The dragon king scorpion was enraged by the air blade that hit it first, and two deep and obvious marks appeared on its abdominal carapace. Although it did not cause serious damage, the wound began to ooze blood.

The pain made the King Dragon Scorpion subconsciously try to dodge the subsequent air blades, but it was still on the stone pillar and could only quickly hide behind it.

Even though the King Scorpion was not slow, the sharp air blade still left scars on its tail again.

Upon seeing this, Wang Jin immediately slapped the blue jay's paws:

"Blue Jay, put me on the corner post."

"Chirp!"

The blue raven folded its wings and dived quickly, placing Wang Jin on the stone pillar in the corner, then sprinted towards the direction of the Dragon King Scorpion.

"Use the claws first!" Wang Jin's voice followed closely.

The blue raven glides briefly and mobilizes energy to sharpen its claws, enhancing its attack ability and hit rate.

The King Dragon Scorpion hidden behind the stone pillar in front also poked its head out from the edge, baring its teeth and showing its power to intimidate, while the tip of its tail extending from the other side of the stone pillar also lit up with deep purple energy.

"It's a missile needle! Blue Jay! Use Tailwind!"

Upon hearing the order, Blue Crow immediately paused in mid-air, and the densely packed tiny needles flying towards its eagle eyes were as slow as a stop motion picture.

It flapped its wings slightly, and a strong wind blew past it, easily blowing away the insect needles in front of it.

As a flying predator, Bluejay naturally has a sense of suppression towards the Bug-type Pokémon in front of it. In the wild, Steeljay often treats Scorpiontail as food.

Unfortunately, after the evolution of the King Scorpion, its attributes became poisonous and evil.

"Blue Jay! Use lightning and peck!"

Seeing the King Dragon Scorpion retract its tail, Wang Jin also quickly gave orders.

The moment the order came out, Blue Crow turned into a gray lightning and moved quickly behind the Dragon King Scorpion. The Dragon King Scorpion was still in a daze, and just as it was about to turn its head, it felt a sharp pain from the carapace on its back.

Diamond Pecking is a flying-attribute move that Blue Crow learned on his own after his strength increased. It is considered an advanced move of Pecking, and it greatly improves both attack power and release speed.

Pecking is an attack in which a bird spins while stabbing its beak into the opponent's body.

The blue jay also folded its feathers and spun around. Its entire blue body looked like a drill at this moment, and half of its head had already sunk into the back of the King Scorpion.

The dragon king scorpion's body went limp, and it didn't even have the strength to turn its head. The fishy, ​​purple-red, thick blood that belonged only to insects flowed out from the wound, and as the blue jay suddenly pulled out its beak and head, it sprayed out like a fountain.

The dragon scorpion's limbs could no longer hold on to the copper-yellow stone pillar, and it collapsed in the grass, unable to move.

The victorious Blue Crow shook its body quickly to shake off the blood that was splashed on it, and then flew back to Wang Jin at the fastest speed.

"Chirp!"

The blue jay had just defeated and killed the dragon king scorpion, and now seemed particularly energetic.

Wang Jin took out the cleaning spray from his backpack and used it to clean the blue jay's feathers. He then briefly observed the blue jay's physical condition.

His perception told him that Blue Crow had accumulated enough energy and could evolve at any time and easily surpass the shackles of the Heavenly King level. But this perception was not enough, and it seemed that it would take more battles to reach the most perfect state.

Wang Jin seemed to understand the significance of the gym leader level to Pokémon.

This seems to be a foundation-building stage, including energy, training, fighting... etc. Without sufficient accumulation, it is impossible to reach the next step.

However, if the accumulation is sufficient and complete, and it reaches the King level, the Pokémon's future potential will also increase accordingly.

"Let's go, Blue Jay..."

As Wang Jin spoke, he also took out the Poké Ball and retrieved the Rhino that was waiting at the bottom of the pillar.

As for the improvement of Blue Crow's strength, he is not in a hurry now, and would rather wait a little longer. When all aspects have been improved to the extreme and cannot be improved any further, he will try to take off the Immutable Stone.

This was his first time as a trainer and his first time training Pokémon, so naturally he had to be cautious and steady.

"Chirp!"

The blue jay flapped its wings and flew easily over the territory of the scorpion.

The leaderless scorpions seemed to be frightened by the corpse of their leader, and they gathered around for a long time, not daring to move. But when the blue jay completely flew away from the area, dozens of scorpions rushed over and bit the corpse of the dragon king scorpion.

The large patch of grass ahead is the territory of some Psychic-attribute Pokémon.

Wang Jin only took a quick glance, and these Pokémon used their own moves, either hiding themselves or teleporting away directly, which was extremely cautious.

The blue jay became even faster. The fast air current lifted its body easily and passed through the large area of ​​grass.

"boom--"

There was a muffled thunder in the sky, and a faint white light exploded on the edge of the blue-black clouds.

After the thunder, the air nearby became more humid, and it seemed that it would rain at the next moment.

Wang Jin did not have time to ask Lan Ya and himself to go down and check the pool of water in the grass. He hurriedly left the grassland area sandwiched between the city walls and abandoned buildings as quickly as possible and came to the first stop in the northern wilderness - the Boulder Field.
