Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

"Al, it's a master-level fossil pterosaur!"

As Ditto said this, he transformed into the Great Original Bird and flew into the sky, with Alf in his claws.

"Thanks to Al's previous decision, the three totems should be able to defeat the opponent and come to help soon, right? Otherwise..."

"They can't come." Alf said coldly, "Symbol A can force them to freeze."

"What should I do then..." Ditto was a little panicked.

Alf looked up and said, "Baya, give me the backpack and the other Poké Ball Belt, and you go hold that old man back."

Ditto Baya hesitated: "But..."

Alf shouted, "Give me everything first!"

Baya's claws gradually transformed into the gray mud of its original form, and a dark backpack and another belt with two Poké Balls hanging on it emerged from it.

Alf breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Put me down, and hold him back!"

Baya whispered: "Al, but I..."

It had just used a large amount of energy to maintain the green grass and nurture the life-giving water droplets, and had previously endured a number of attacks. Now both its energy and physical strength had run out.

In this state, without any trainer to give orders, forcing yourself to fight a quasi-master-level trainer... is undoubtedly courting death.

"If you can't beat them, use some medicine, quick!"

Alf said impatiently, pulling out a bottle from his backpack.

There was a ball of dark black smoke in the bottle, which seemed to have life and was constantly wriggling and rising inside, conveying a strange negative emotion of resentment, anger and hatred.

"Medicine?" Baya's voice revealed disbelief, "This is His..."

"How else are we going to hold back the old guy behind us?" Alf said impatiently.

"but......"

Baya suddenly fell silent, and the ancestral bird she transformed into began to flap its wings randomly, showing its inner unrest.

It's just a medicine, but it's a magical medicine.

It is a secret medicine from ancient nobles. The raw materials of the medicine are said to be taken from the legendary god, Arceus!

But the effect of this drug is not sacred at all... It is something that can definitely make Pokémon go berserk, but it can squeeze the potential of the Pokémon to the limit, bringing several times or even dozens of times improvement.

In comparison, without the help of any legendary Pokémon, the potential-exploiting drugs currently developed by humans through technology can only increase the strength of Pokémon by 50 to 70 percent at most.

The effect of the miracle drug is so strong that it has completely exceeded the imagination of the most cutting-edge scientists.

Because this dozens-fold increase in ability often means the destruction of individual elves.

While improving the ability, this medicine can also maintain the state of Pokémon with a magical energy... Many noble scholars who study it exclaim that it is unimaginable.

If it were in its prime, Ditto Baya might still have a chance to recover after taking this medicine.

At this point where both my physical strength and energy have reached their limit, if I continue to take drugs, I will undoubtedly die.

Alf was leaving it to die.

As Ion got closer and closer, Alf realized something was wrong. He quickly changed his mood and was about to say something to comfort him, but he heard Baya speak first:

"Al...are you going to come rescue me later?"

After a moment of silence, Alf quickly replied, "Of course, Baya, we are the best companions."

"Roar--"

The fossil pterosaur at the back began to raise its head and roar.

Baya quickly lowered herself and landed in the forest.

"Just companions? Al."

It put Alf down and stood in front of him. The colorful feathers on its body melted into bright mud. The mud head, whose appearance could not be seen clearly, gradually changed into the appearance of the woman before, with hazy eyes.

"Crack!"

The bottle broke and the black divine medicine was quickly sucked into Baya's mouth.

"Boom-"

It sounded like a heart beating violently.

The Ditto in front of him suddenly expanded in size, and the originally brightly colored surface of his body gradually began to show traces of black lines.

Baya's voice became hoarse and distorted again: "Al, Al..."

"I love you......"

"Am I a qualified wife——"

The air flow was shaking, and this sentence was stretched infinitely.

In just a blink of an eye, Ditto Baya jumped up and disappeared on the spot.

It transformed into a fossilized pterosaur, far larger than the one Yarn commanded, and wrapped in ominous black threads.

Alf said nothing and stood there for five or six seconds before he came to his senses.

He suppressed the memories that emerged in his mind and whispered:

"What a disgusting pile of sludge..."

Alf quickly used his only remaining right hand to grope around his trainer's waist and soon found the Poké Ball of the Master-level Garchomp.

This is the quasi-god elf he cultivated a long time ago, and it is also his main force, his only main force.

The only Master-level Pokémon.

Alf's eyes darkened again, and he pressed the button on the Poké Ball:

"Heh, Wang Jin. Victory will come in the end..."

His words stopped abruptly and his expression froze.

No matter how hard I applied my fingers, or how hard I pressed the central switch button, the Poké Ball...didn't react at all!

Alf took out the rest of the Poké Balls and tried them one by one.

"All the Poké Balls can't be opened? How is this possible..."

He suddenly remembered that Wang Jin seemed to have stolen these Poké Balls for some time before.

"Did you do that then?"

Alf clenched the Poké Ball tightly, veins on his right hand bulged and his finger bones turned white.

This was the first time he hated a mission target so much since he left the family and became a wilderness trainer.

However, as a veteran hunter, Alf quickly put away these useless Poké Balls and took out the second belt, which was the one Baya gave him.

"Fortunately, for safety's sake, I brought everything with me..."

Alf suppressed his emotions and took out one of the only two Poké Balls on the belt.

The pure black surface of the Poké Ball flickered with a strange light.

...

Forest tops on the side of a mountain.

The two fossil pterosaurs collided with each other immediately.

"boom--"

The aftermath of the energy surge alone created a hurricane in the mountains.

Ion, who was riding the Archaic Bird in mid-air, had to raise his arms to block it.

"Roar!"

A deafening roar came from the mouth of the fossil pterosaur, and another fossil pterosaur flew out backwards.

Yaen opened his eyes with difficulty, his pupils dilated: "How could it be..."

His Pterosaur is quite powerful even in the Master class, so how could it be knocked away by a Ditto that was almost out of strength?

"die!"

The fossilized pterosaur, with black lines wrapped around its body, raised its head and gathered a ball of dark energy.

"..."

After a brief thought, Yan decisively shouted:

"run!"
