Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

"Haunter... come."

Wang Jin waved to Haunter, and Haunter came over with his hands on his belly and his face open.

After pinching Haunter's body, Wang Jin checked the intermediate-quality dark stone that old man Ruby had given him and that Haunter wore every day.

"It seems a little smaller..."

Wang Jin looked carefully and found that the dark stone was indeed smaller.

"Boom, boom..."

Haunter danced and pointed at the Dark Stone with his claws.

"You mean... you can feel that this dark stone is getting smaller?" Wang Jin guessed.

“Boom!”

Haunter nodded quickly and started gesturing again.

It used to be able to absorb the energy in the stone every day, and trained to control it every day. But two days ago, it couldn't absorb any energy at all, and it felt like it was full...

"Are you full... Has the energy in your body reached the critical point?" Wang Jin said, and pinched Haunter's two paws again, making Haunter laugh.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Wang Jin did not immediately hand the contact rope to Haunter.

Logically speaking, the level, cultivation, and training have all reached the critical point, and the only thing Haunter lacks is a battle.

Increase your control over your body through intense combat?

Perhaps Haunter doesn't need to evolve, and can break through on his own and reach the king level?

Then the contact rope can be put aside for a while, and it won’t be too late to use it at the champion level or above...

Thinking of this, Wang Jin half-knelt down again and picked up the Katie, who had stretched his neck and half stood up. After raising his face to avoid the Katie's tongue licking him, he grabbed the dog's head and asked:

"Katie, can you feel the change in your strength recently?"

"Wangwu?"

The Catti tilted its head and shook it. The thick flaxen hair on its head and neck flew up and down, and its two wide and long ears bounced.

"It shouldn't be...it seems it has reached its limit." Wang Jin said, putting down the Growlithe.

He raised his hand and gently beckoned the ultrasonic larva to fly over, and carefully examined its wings and abdominal claws.

Wang Jin had previously asked various places for some knowledge about the cultivation of his Pokémon. The cultivation of the ultrasonic larvae mainly focused on the body and wings.

The evolution of the desert dragonfly population is almost all characterized by large morphological changes, from large-jawed ants to ultrasonic larvae that have to grow two pairs of wings and their appearance has also changed significantly.

The ultrasonic larvae turned into desert dragonflies, and the dragonflies transformed from insects into dragons. They grew dragon claws, had tails on their bodies, and became large and slender, completely different from the small insects they were before.

The bodies of the ultrasonic larvae are now very resilient and their wings are a deep green with a hint of red around the edges, a sign of excellent breeding.

"To evolve into a Desert Dragonfly you have to be level 45. The main thing is to break through the level 40 barrier first, and then you'll be close to evolving."

Wang Jin said this and adjusted the Immutable Stone in his hand.

The Unchanging Stone inhibits the evolution of Pokémon... Haunter and Growlithe don't really need it, as they both rely on items to evolve, one is the Linking Rope and the other is the Fire Stone.

But Wang Jin has a lot of Unchanging Stones, and this item is not very rare. It seems to be sold for only a few hundred thousand Alliance Coins in the Galar black market.

"Forget it, I'll just wear one on each of them, as a small ornament." Wang Jin hesitated for a few moments, and finally put the rope with the Immortal Stone on it around the neck of the Growlithe.

Caterpie shook its neck vigorously, and the gray-white Unchanging Stone shook along with it.

Haunter's ghost body is not convenient to wear, so there is no one. Then put one on the ultrasonic larva...

Wang Jin looked at the three Pokémon lined up in a row with satisfaction, wondering how to fight them.

Gym challenge?

When the gym leader releases the gym leader-level Pokémon, we can take the opportunity to let these three little ones train?

After thinking for a while, Wang Jin shook his head and said after a pause:

"Haunter! You come and fight against Growlithe!"

Let's try to see if fighting between them has any effect first. Maybe just some excitement of fighting will be enough?

As soon as he finished speaking, Haunter and Caterpie ran to the two sides of the open space respectively.

The open space is semicircular, with a distance of about sixteen or seventeen meters on both sides and a height of about five meters, barely enough for two Pokémon to move around.

"Wow~"

The Katie stood straight and called softly. Its eyes were bright and its mane was smooth, which made it look quite majestic.

Why would it be afraid of Haunter?

A little brother who has not yet broken through to the king level for such a long time is far less deterrent than the huge and powerful Steel Crow.

“…hiss!”

Haunter seemed to see a hint of contempt in Growlithe's eyes, and he was a little angry. He bared his teeth and stuck out his long tongue, puffing it around twice, growled twice, and stretched out his paws to scare this very courageous little brother.

However, Growlithe didn't care about Haunter's actions. Before Haunter could react, its body leaped forward with flames and pounced on Haunter in mid-air.

"Wang!"

The screams were accompanied by the heat of the flames, which became hotter and brighter in front of Haunter.

Flame wheel!

The fire attribute has no restraining relationship with the ghost attribute and the poison attribute. In this battle, there is no difference in the advantages and disadvantages of attributes, nor are there too many natural disadvantages.

Seeing that Growlithe was about to hit it, Haunter screamed and instantly turned into a purple-black smoke and disappeared on the spot.

The flame wheel whizzed past, but all it made was the sound of the air expanding.

"Hiss~"

While Growlithe was still in the air, it heard Haunter's sinister laughter behind it.

Haunter reacted so quickly because he was well prepared! He didn't underestimate this little brother whose strength was almost the same as his.

“Boom!”

There was another eerie cry, and Haunter clenched his claws into fists and swung them at the back of the neck of the Growlithe in front of him.

Caterpie turned its head and bared its fangs, and flames suddenly burned through its limbs again, burning towards Haunter.

Since it is a single attribute and basically only trains fire-attribute moves each time, Caterpie is very proficient in mastering its own attribute energy, and using it to use moves or releasing fire everywhere on its body is just a basic ability.

When Haunter sensed the heat, he immediately retracted his claws and decided not to fight Growlithe in close combat as much as possible.

It could be burned by flames at any time, which is too dangerous and not in line with its style as a Haunter.

Seeing Haunter retreat in time and blend into the shadows, Caterpie rolled over and landed on the ground, scanning the surroundings vigilantly, especially the shadows cast by the yellow light on some rocks.

Caterpie kind of wants to just release all the flames and cover the entire area...

"Don't worry, fight with all your strength!"

Wang Jin shouted softly, continuously retreating with the ultrasonic larvae, and calling out Duo Longqi.
