Pokémon: The Bold Rat

However, Articuno's eyes twitched a few times, and it felt that it seemed to have made this decision a bit hasty.

When I wake up and return to my own tribe, will the other Articunos laugh at me to death?

But looking at the sandmouse's sincere eyes, it still sighed.

"Forget it, there is no better choice."

Thinking of this, Articuno flapped its wings and flew into the air, saying:

"Yiyuan, after I inherit my power, I will retain a trace of life and seal myself in this unmelting ice. You have to promise me that after Sandshrew reaches the level of Heavenly King or finds Lord Lugia, the God of the Sea, you will come here again to help me revive."

"Master Articuno, I promise you!"

To this, the young man made a solemn promise.

"Okay, Sandshrew, get ready."

There was no requirement to sign any contract. For Articuno at this moment, having Entei's guarantee was enough.

I saw Articuno venting its power madly in mid-air, and the entire underground cave began to vibrate with a rumbling sound.

Soon, its elegant and beautiful figure was enveloped by a ball of blue light.

The sandshrew's mouth has now become O-shaped. As an ice-attribute elf, it can feel the ethereal and vastness of this power.

The ice energy in his body is like a firefly compared to the bright moon; there is no comparison between the two.

"Hi!"

At this time, the three prismatic feather crests on Articuno's head fell off one by one in front of it.

Each one was stained with black and red.

In response, a fierce look flashed across its eyes, and it injected energy into the one that was the least infected.

"Zizzi~zizi~"

Even though the energy of the King level is qualitatively different from it, a drop of water can wear away a stone. The investment was made regardless of the cost, and eventually all the black and red colors of the feather were driven out. However, this strand of energy seemed to have consciousness, and after being driven out, it "slipped" into the feather in the middle.

In the blink of an eye, the feathers in the middle were completely black.

In addition, the progress of the black and red line on the far right has also increased a lot, and it seems that it is almost completely black.

In fact, doing so is just a trick of changing one's mind from day to day, and it cannot delay the progress of erosion for Articuno itself.

However, this can indeed leave behind an uncontaminated feather inheritance.

"Hi!"

He increased the energy in his body again and temporarily eliminated the two persistent black and red feathers.

That sky blue feather carried most of Articuno's energy and rushed towards the Sandshrew.

"boom!"

With his eyes closed, Sandshrew only felt that he was in a sea of ​​energy.

Not only do these energies not reject its absorption, they even actively help it broaden its energy channels, making it more efficient.

"Kuga!"

At the same time, the level of the sandrat continued to rise.

I was level 18 before I came in, and in the blink of an eye I suddenly reached level 19, 20, 21...

You have to know that the little Rattata that I started training was only level 24.

Staring at the panel of the Sandshrew, Zhao Yiyuan felt a little worried.

Does this count as forcing things to happen? Will it have any impact on the future of mole rats?

He wanted to speak several times, but when he saw Articuno becoming increasingly weaker in the air, he didn't know how to start.

"Li~"

Don't worry, Yiyuan, this inheritance will only benefit Sandshrew, not harm it.

As if it had sensed what the boy was thinking, Articuno, who was still passing on energy, began to explain.

“If I don’t focus on the foundation, even the remaining part of my energy is enough to elevate Sandshrew to the level of an elite or even a gym.

But now, I will first improve its aptitude, and then give it the initiation, it will not affect its foundation."

As he spoke, the mole's voice suddenly became deep.

"Ku~ga~"

Suddenly, a strong white light emerged from the mole rat, which was originally covered by blue light.

"This, this is going to evolve!"

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yiyuan stood up suddenly.

"Pulada!"

The same goes for the little Rada on his shoulder.

Of course, he had no intention of stopping it.

Alola Sandshrew needs an Ice Stone to evolve, which means it requires extremely pure ice energy.

Then what energy can compare with the essence of an ice-type divine beast in terms of purity?

Therefore, evolution at this time is a rare opportunity for mole rats.

"Li~"

Articuno, who also noticed this scene, was surprised and then increased its energy output. Naturally, he had to help with the finishing touch.

Soon, in the white light, a mole rat that had grown more than a circle larger, oh no, it should be called the Sandshovel King now, appeared again.

In the blue light, the originally tiny claws became thick and sharp, especially the two-toed claws on the hands, which looked like a long sword.

Unlike ordinary Sandslashes which have a lot of spikes behind them, the Alola Sandslash has a lot of thick ice cones behind it.

The overall dark blue color does make it look much more stylish than the ordinary Sandslash.

"Kuga!"

Eventually the energy dissipated, and the prismatic feather fell onto the diamond-shaped armor on the Sandshrew's forehead as if it were a natural fit.

"Wow~" it blended in without any sign of incongruity, as if it was meant to be there.

Seeing this scene, Jidongnian nodded, feeling that this was his destiny.

"Hi!"

[Yiyuan, Sandshrew can't absorb more energy now, so I helped it rebuild its foundation. After it evolved, it sealed a part of its power in the feather crown. I think it shouldn't be difficult to help it become an elite.

Remember the conditions and come back to me! 】

After transmitting this last paragraph, the black and red energy on its body overflowed again. Without stopping, it was directly frozen in the unmelting ice again.

Zhao Yiyuan, who walked over, could see that the once elegant and noble Articuno was now full of brutality and cruelty.

"Don't worry, Master Articuno, I won't forget my promise to you."

"Kuja~"

The Sandshrew, who was also walking over, knelt down again and kowtowed three times.

It knows how much gratitude it has received from Articuno, which is like a rebirth for it.

"Pulada~Lada~"

After bowing, little Rada jumped in front of his younger brother.

He looked at his younger brother's new appearance with amazement. It was twice as big as before, and its aura was stronger than its current one!

After seeing the current faceplate of Sandshrew, Zhao Yiyuan only had two words in his mind...

"Awesome!"

The level has increased by about ten levels, and this is because Articuno intentionally sealed most of its energy in the ice feathers.

In addition, there is an additional talent, the Feather of the Ice God. Although it is incomplete, it is obviously a manifestation of Articuno's divine power.

I don't know what use it has yet.

"Sandang King, can you use the ice feathers of Articuno?"

"Kuga@_@?"

Upon hearing the name Sandslash, the evolved Sandshrew was confused for a moment before realizing that the trainer was calling him.

Now I am not a sandrat anymore~

Sighing in his heart, Sandslash scratched the prismatic ice armor on his forehead with his claws, feeling a little confused.

But soon, a memory flowed into its mind.

So that's how it is~

A hint of understanding flashed across its eyes, and it mobilized the ice energy in its body and sent it to its forehead.

"Wow!"

In an instant, the prismatic ice crystals burst into light, and Sandshrew was covered with a layer of blue light armor.

At the same time, the breath suddenly rose!

"Ok?"

Zhao Yiyuan, who was always paying attention to the panel, saw that Sandshrew's level had become 27+3, with three more levels of energy reserves out of thin air.

In addition, the props column has also changed from primary non-melting ice (the ice chips picked up before) to intermediate non-melting ice.

"Pulada(=?Д?=)!"

The frightened little Rada couldn't close her mouth. She always felt that Master Yan Di was hiding something →_→

Why doesn't my fire affinity talent have this function?

"Ah!"

The giant mastiff lion that was sleeping in the secret realm of the Burnt Tower sneezed again.

"Hmm~ It must be that kid Zhao Yiyuan who is thanking me. I am really the noble god of this kid~"

Shaking his head proudly, Yan Di changed his position and lay down to sleep again.

"Kuja~Kuja~"

However, although Chuanshanwang was also happy, he was not overwhelmed, and he started to explain with gestures and excitement.

After listening patiently, Zhao Yiyuan roughly understood it.

“You mean that this combat power bonus is not fixed, and now the strength is low, so the increase is large.

When your strength is higher, the bonus may be very small. "

"Kuga!"

Hearing this, Sandshang King nodded.

"What about the power bonus to your ice-type moves?"

Chuan Shan Wang pondered over this question for a while, flipped through the inherited skills, and immediately answered again:

"Kuja~Kuja~"

"It's fine to use it at the professional (gym) level~"

After understanding, the boy couldn't stop smiling.

According to the explanation of the Sandshrew, the increase in the power of the Ice God's Feather will increase with the increase in strength. It is very intelligent. Now that it is at the intermediate level of the elf, the Ice God's Feather is equivalent to the intermediate level of non-melting ice. When it is promoted to the advanced level, it will be equivalent to the advanced level of non-melting ice.

Apart from this, the inheritance of moves is not too surprising. Counting the bloodline inheritance, there are only four more entry-level moves.

The iron wall can just complement the metal body (iron tail + iron head + metal claws) to create a real iron wall. It is a must to practice!

High-Speed ​​Star is an (almost) sure-hit move that covers the entire field, and its power is acceptable, so it is definitely something you need to practice.

The three moves of ice cone, hail and random grab are not very important. Just practice them well and use them as variations.

However, just when he was planning to practice here for a few days using the unmelted ice, several elite bosses he had met before came over one by one.

"Roar!"

"Tsk~"

"Ah Dong~"

……

Looking at the self-sealed Articuno, all the elves lowered their heads at the same time, with sadness on their faces.

Then the silly hippopotamus who had brought him down earlier came over and said:

"Ah Dong~"

Come on, young man, I'll take you back to the second floor. With the power of Lord Articuno, I think you can survive on the second floor.

As it said this, it looked at the Sandslash next to Zhao Yiyuan. It was obvious that this Sandslash was the inheritor of Articuno's power.

"Um...I can't stay on the third floor for a few days."

Zhao Yiyuan, who didn't expect to leave immediately, asked weakly.

You can enter the third floor, although you have already guaranteed 90 points. (40 points for survival missions + 20 points for basic kills, and a total of 30 points for entering the third floor of the underwater cave.)

But precisely because of this, he has to stay for a few more days. After all, the ice energy in this place is so strong that it can completely allow the Sandshrew to reach a higher level of strength.

With the intermediate Sandslash around, it was not difficult for him to complete the basic kills, even if there were only one or two days left.

Combined with his academic performance, this score is enough for him to enter any prestigious university in the country.

Unfortunately, the stupid hippo just shook his head.

"Ah Dong~"

No, Lord Articuno is asleep, and several other elite leaders will continue to guard here and continuously inject energy into this unmelting ice.

You'd better not interfere. If you wake up the controlled Articuno, it will definitely kill you at all costs!

As he spoke, he pointed at the icy scales on Sandsandruff's forehead.

"Ah Dong~"

The Articuno controlled by it naturally has great hostility towards the inheritor. After all, for it, even if it has to exchange a sub-god for the death of a destined person, it is worth it.

These words made Zhao Yiyuan shudder.

He immediately fell down like a garlic.

"Okay, okay, I'll go up with you."

As he said this, he pulled back the Sandsam King who was still licking the ice.

"Kuja~"

This made the Sandshrew very reluctant to leave. Although it looked cool and arrogant, like a cold and arrogant male god, deep down, it was still the greedy and curious sandshrew.

"Let's go~"

Under the guidance of the stupid hippo, they did not go through the whirlpool this time, but were brought to a staircase.

"Ah Dong~"

This is the passage that you humans opened at great risk of your lives. It has been abandoned now. You can go up through this.

"it is good."

Zhao Yiyuan looked up and could vaguely see a lot of traces of battle on the stairs, which were bumpy and had some dark red bloodstains that had not been cleaned off.

"tread!"

As I stepped onto the stairs, just when I was about to lose sight of the stupid hippo, a voice suddenly rang in my ears.

“Also, I forgot to tell you, don’t kill indiscriminately.

Lord Articuno is most similar to Lord Lugia, in that they are peace-loving mythical beasts. The use of the Feather of the Ice God depends on the user's heart.

Of course, you can kill those puppets who have been controlled and lost their self-identity at will."

In response, the boy nodded heavily.

"Ok!"

Then he watched the silly hippopotamus disappear into the cave tunnel.

Obviously, as an uncommon psychic-type Pokémon, although it is only at a high level, it still has to help protect Articuno.

For the elves who still retain their self-identity, Articuno has become the spiritual banner after Lugia left, and they cannot let this banner fall.

Being controlled and losing one's self, few elves would want to live such a life.
