Gongsun Yan clearly felt that the waves coming from behind were gradually weakening. It seemed that Xiaozhi was almost done, so he could choose to give it a try.
"I've been waiting for this, Mega Steelix, use Ultimate Impact!"
After hearing that he could give it a try, Xiaogang immediately smiled happily. His Pokémon was best at close combat, but in order to prevent casualties in the battle, he could only hide in the back and use his moves, and at most he could move his tail a few times, which made him very frustrated.
"boom!"
Steelix is worthy of being Gang's first Pokémon. After evolving from Onix to Steelix, its strength directly reached a new level and reached the peak of the quasi-king.
With the addition of Gon's Mega Stone of Steelix, Steelix can be said to have barely stepped into the threshold of the King level. The Nibe Gym is finally about to welcome a leader of its revival.
Such a huge monster charged towards the phantom of the fossil Pokémon. The scene was so brutal. If these phantoms were not real, the screen would probably be full of ketchup.
Seeing Mega Steelix rushing over, the other Pokémon couldn't help themselves. They had just fought very unhappily, and now that the mission was completed, they were bound to attack again in a big wave.
"Sigh!"
Mega Swampert charged up his energy and shot out like a cannonball, crushing any phantom in his way. When he landed, there was an earthquake, instantly killing all the phantoms around him.
In addition to these two big guys, the slower Bangilas and Super Armored Rhino did not just stand there and watch. They worked together to create a pile of rocks and smashed them directly on the opponent's head, forcibly interrupting the opponent's offensive.
Although the other Pokémon are not as reckless as these rock-type or ground-type big guys, they also have enough highlight moments. When they are at full firepower, the Pokémon even begin to push back against the phantoms.
At this time, the most embarrassed person was probably Qiduo. Although her two Mamaola were also strong, their performance was definitely not as good as Gongsun Yan's in this melee without a clear target.
Just like snipers in large-scale battles, do you think they are a big threat? Of course they are very big. They can kill an enemy with just one bullet, and they are even more of a threat to people in high positions.
In the Pokémon world, although there is no Pokémon classified as sniper, there is Pokémon classified as assassin. Sniper Owl is also an assassin-type Pokémon.
Magna is obviously also an assassin-type Pokémon. Logically speaking, this kind of melee situation is the most suitable battlefield for them because they have enough conditions to fish in troubled waters.
But this is all based on the premise that the assassin can kill with one blow. The strength of these two Mamoras does not form much of an advantage, and the phantoms of the fossil Pokémon do not have weaknesses in the traditional sense, which is equivalent to destroying Mamoras' combat power.
Chapter 206: Xiaozhi's Crisis
Although judging from the battle record alone, these two Magora are quite good, and they can even take down a Phantom without using a combo.
However, compared with the group of beasts that attack in a wide range, the performance of these two Mamaura is far inferior in both quantity and quality.
If these phantoms had a clear command, then maybe things could change a little bit. After all, no matter how many soldiers you killed, they were not as valuable as an enemy commander.
The profession of assassin, which was born almost at the same time as human history, is not about the number of enemies killed, but the quality. A top assassin can completely change the course of a war.
A typical example is Garona in Warcraft. This outstanding female orc is definitely a top assassin. She successfully assassinated the king of Stormwind, Llane Wrynn.
It was this assassination by her that directly led to the First Orc War and the disastrous defeat of the human side. The once powerful Storm Kingdom was directly destroyed. This is the role of the assassin.
Unfortunately, as mentioned before, these phantoms have no leader at all, and their behavior has only one logic, which is to eliminate all creatures that may threaten the comfort of the World Tree.
Therefore, Mamaula could only become the one with the worst KDA, which made Qiduo feel ashamed. She was obviously the oldest among the group, but her strength and record were the lowest.
If Gongsun Yan knew what Qiduo was thinking now, he would definitely pat her on the shoulder and tell her not to compare herself with these cheating people, as it would make her doubt her life.
Under the explosion of all the Pokémon, the phantoms were simply vulnerable. Unfortunately, this was only a flash in the pan. Such an explosion was very energy-consuming!
"boom!!!"
After a few minutes of explosion, the damage finally occurred. After Xiaogang's Forritos used the spiral ball to defeat several phantoms, the kinetic energy that had been accumulated was almost consumed, and he had to slow down his rotation.
Don't forget, Forettos is in the phantom of the fossil Pokémon. It was able to maintain a rapid rotation just now, so the phantoms around it couldn't do anything to Forettos.
But now that the rotation speed of Foretos has slowed down, the phantoms of these fossil Pokémon will not show any mercy. A group of phantoms pounced directly on it, intending to swallow Foretos.
But is Forettos an ordinary Pokémon? Obviously not. Faced with the current desperate situation, Forettos exploded, directly helping himself out of the predicament and clearing a large area of space.
"Fretos, come back!"
Although everyone is a trainer, they do not have the fighting power of Xiaozhi, so even Gongsun Yan is hiding behind and watching, which gives Xiaogang a chance to take back Flotsam.
"This is a bit strange...Lucario, go over and take a look!"
The fall of Forlitos seemed to be a signal, and Pokémon continued to fall from exhaustion or being besieged.
Although Gongsun Yan and others tried their best to retrieve the fallen Pokémon, it was still too late and many Pokémon were swallowed up.
This also made Gongsun Yan a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Xiao Zhi should have finished the job, but why didn't he show any signs of being finished now? Could something have happened again?
Gongsun Yan thought about it and decided to release Lucario who stayed with him and let him go to see what was going on with Xiaozhi.
The reason why Lucario was let go is that Lucario is the only one who has not played yet, and there is no other choice if he is not chosen.
The second reason is that the problem with the World Tree is related to the waveguide after all, and Lucario has been a specialist in the past.
As for the final reason, it was that Gongsun Yan was a little selfish. After all, they were working hard for the World Tree, so maybe the World Tree would give them some benefits, which would be very beneficial to Lucario's future development.
"road!"
After hearing Gongsun Yan's order, Lucario responded directly and rushed towards the core of the World Tree.
Logically speaking, a Pokémon like Lucario, which is known for its loyalty, would generally not leave Gongsun Yan.
But he also knew what was important and what was not. Now was not the time to talk about loyalty. The problem of the World Tree had to be solved as soon as possible so that everyone could be rescued.
..........................................................................................
"It hurts, it hurts so much, is it not healed yet?"
In the core of the World Tree, even someone as tough as Xiaozhi could not bear it. Those huge waveguides made his whole body uncomfortable.
Even Mew didn't know that restarting the World Tree was not as simple as everyone thought. Although Xiaozhi and Lucario's wave guide was just an initiator and acted as a catalyst.
However, there are differences in catalysts. There are catalysts that do not participate in the reaction, and there are catalysts that need to participate in the reaction, but they reappear at a certain step of the reaction.
Mew always thought that the World Tree needed the first type of catalyst, but in fact it was the second type of catalyst. Such a small difference caused great trouble for Satoshi and Lucario.
Although the World Tree is a living being, it does not have corresponding intelligence. It directly treats Satoshi and Lucario as relay stations, injects the huge waveguides stored underground into their bodies, and starts filtering them directly.
The waveguide purified by the two was obviously much calmer, but there were also a lot of impurities. However, as time passed, the impurities became less and less.
After all, Yggdrasil didn't treat Ash and Lucario as machines, and the injected waveguide just happened to be stuck at their limits.
This matter also has many benefits for Xiaozhi and Lucario. Although the waves stored in the World Tree are huge, they are unexpectedly pure.
When people eat grains and cereals, there are bound to be some impurities in their bodies. The impurities in the previously purified waveguide are exactly the impurities in their bodies. The waveguide is equivalent to removing the hair and cleansing their marrow.
Not only the impurities in their bodies were removed, the waves in their bodies also became more and more pure, greatly increasing both their strength and lifespan.
But humans are not machines after all. Even well-trained soldiers cannot withstand being in extreme conditions for such a long time, let alone a "civilian" like Xiaozhi.
Lucario could still bear it, after all, he was half a soldier before, so he could endure the pain for a while.
Chapter 207 The Hidden Fourth Foreign Aid
Unfortunately, if Xiaozhi falls, it will be useless no matter how strong Lucario is. Now they both need to bear the situation together, and it is almost a life-and-death situation.
But if Xiaozhi falls, the World Tree will assimilate them both without hesitation, just like it assimilated Alan back then.
In this way, the World Tree can also complete the restart, and even faster. The only difference may be the life and death of Lucario and Xiaozhi, but the World Tree does not care about this.
Lucario obviously knew this, so he also began to think about how to break the impasse. He felt that it didn't matter whether he sacrificed himself or not. The key point was that nothing happened to Xiaozhi, otherwise he would feel uneasy even if he died.
Moreover, the World Tree's need is actually very simple, which is to survive the current crisis. It does not care about any sacrifices.
"Road~"
Lucario made some calculations on the waveguides needed by the World Tree, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He realized that as long as he sacrificed himself voluntarily, he would definitely be able to save Xiaozhi.
After realizing this, Lucario's biggest worry disappeared. Having followed Aaron for many years, he had no hesitation in sacrificing for justice.
And after Lucario knew that Aaron was dead, he had actually made up his mind to die. The only reason he hasn't taken action yet is entirely because of his loyalty to the queen and the existence of Satoshi.
But now there was an opportunity to make a heroic sacrifice before him. Instead of feeling any resistance, he even rushed towards it. He could finally see his master again and ask him in person the truth about what happened back then.
Although Gongsun Yan said that he knew the truth of that year, and Lucario believed Gongsun Yan, it would be better to ask the person involved in person.
Maybe Lucario looks a little depressed, but this is indeed what he thinks in his heart. After receiving such a large amount of information in a short period of time, it is no wonder that Lucario would have the idea of "destroy it, quickly".
"Lucario, I won't allow you to die. I can still hold on!"
Just when Lucario was ready and was about to push Ash away, Ash, who was already a little dazed, suddenly woke up and scolded Lucario harshly.
Lucario's design was indeed very good, but he overlooked one thing, that is, his and Lucario's waveguides were now connected together, so no matter what the other party was thinking, the other party could know it.
It was also because of this that Xiaozhi woke up instantly. He "heard" Lucario's "last words", but he didn't want to see Lucario leave, nor did he want to see it.
"I can still hold on, Lucario. I said I would bring you back safe and sound, Bodao! I'll keep it in my heart!"
The Pokémon world is actually an idealistic world. The stronger your will, the stronger your strength will become.
However, the Pokémon world is not the world of Kamen Rider or Ultraman after all. The power of idealism is not that outrageous. It will only strengthen the existing special abilities and cannot cross the two classes.
But it is enough for the current situation. Xiaozhi stood firm, and the originally dim waves on his body suddenly became intense. Lucario instantly felt that his pressure was relieved a lot.
"Lu~ (Xiaozhi, I'm very happy to meet you, but it's enough. If this goes on, I really can't guarantee that I can send you away.)"
After hearing what Xiaozhi said, Lucario's expression eased a lot. Although their telepathy led to Xiaozhi seeing through his plan, he also knew that what Xiaozhi said was indeed the truth without any falsehood.
"Lucario!"
Xiaozhi suddenly had a bad premonition. The waveguide on Lucario's side began to vibrate abnormally, which was obviously not a good sign.
Waveguides are something that exist in every living organism, and people or Pokémon who can control waveguides will not encounter such a situation when using waveguides. At most, the strength will be different.
However, once such a situation occurs, it is a very bad sign, indicating that the other party is determined to fight to the death, which is why such an unstable situation occurs.
As Xiaozhi and Lucario exploded one after another, a large amount of waves poured into the trunk of the World Tree. In an instant, the World Tree came back to life, and the originally azure waves began to change to emerald green and continued to spread around.
This means that Ash and Lucario have completed the mission, but Ash is not happy at all because Lucario is in a very bad condition and may fall down at any time.
Unfortunately, Xiaozhi has no way out now. He has already stimulated the wave guide in his body to the extreme, and there is no more power, so he cannot share some of the pressure for Lucario.
"Lu! (Lord Yalang, I'm coming to see you!)"
As time passed, Lucario's condition became worse and worse, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and it was a luxury for him to stay awake.
In a trance, Lucario seemed to see Aaron waving at him. Lucario stretched out his trembling right hand, wanting to touch the other person.
"Lu! (It's not time for you to leave yet, cheer up!)"
Just when Lucario was about to fall, the voice of another Lucario came from the passage. It was the Lucario sent by Gongsun Yan. He saw this scene as soon as he arrived.
At the intersection of the waves, Gongsun Yan's Lucario instantly understood what the top priority was, so after shouting, he rushed to Xiaozhi's side, put his right hand on Xiaozhi's body, and fully released his own waves.
"boom!"
Gongsun Yan's Lucario looked very handsome when he made his appearance, but he didn't even last ten seconds, as he suddenly knelt down on one knee, which looked extremely funny.
Gongsun Yan's Lucario had originally intended to help share some of the load, but the traffic he got was less than one-fifth of either Xiaozhi or Lucario, and it directly crushed Lucario, forcing it to kneel on one knee to barely support its body.
But honestly, the traffic that Gongsun Yan's Lucario helped share was really just a drop in the bucket. Although it helped share some of the pressure, it could not change the final outcome.
However, with the arrival of Gongsun Yan's Lucario, another foreign aid in the core of the World Tree gradually woke up and supported the three people.
In the core of the World Tree, the only piece of crystal that remained in its original state slowly emitted a blue light, and an extremely pure wave was injected into the bodies of the three people present, pulling their bodies, which were on the verge of collapse, back a lot.
Chapter 208 The Belated Arrival of the Three Divine Pillars
"Huh~ It's finally over! If it had been a little later, the outcome would have been hard to predict."
Outside the core of the World Tree, Gongsun Yan and others were gasping for breath frantically, trying to calm their hearts that were about to jump out of their chests. The situation just now was really too dangerous.
In fact, if we only talk about physical energy consumption, it is not that great. After all, trainers don’t have to fight on the field, but the mental energy consumption is too great.
Especially after the Pokémon kept falling, it put great pressure on everyone's mind, and a dark cloud shrouded everyone's heart.
But with the outburst of Ash and Lucario, the emerald green wave spread from behind everyone and soon covered the entire battlefield.
After the waveguide swept through, all things began to revive, and all the trees within sight sprouted new buds and grew new branches.
Even the earth, which looked in a mess due to the previous battle, regained its vitality, and the entire land was covered with green.
In an instant, the shadows of the trees in the World Tree danced and the soft light was diffused, just like a fairyland on earth. Even though Gongsun Yan and others were about to faint, they could not help but immerse themselves in this beautiful scenery.
But now the scenery is not important. What is important is that the phantoms of those fossil Pokémon seem to be paused and stopped in place. Otherwise, even if Gongsun Yan and the others had the courage, they would not dare to be distracted during the battle.
After a brief pause, the phantoms of the fossil Pokémon seemed to have touched some strange switch, and they all turned into ashes and merged into the earth.
Not sure if it was agreed upon, but after the phantoms of the fossil Pokémon 'returned home', the three sacred pillars that Gongsun Yan and the others had seen before appeared in everyone's sight.
"Tsk tsk, they are worthy of being the three pillars of the World Tree's bodyguards. They really imitated the police style of America vividly."
After seeing the three divine pillars, Gongsun Yan immediately started to speak in a sarcastic tone. Although Xiaogang and others on the side knew that Gongsun Yan was speaking in a sarcastic tone, they could not understand what Gongsun Yan was saying.
