Chapter 105: Zuo Hang Vs Aether Foundation Level 5 Specialist
Crazy scientists can absolutely play a crucial role in the apocalypse. Without this group of people, Martial Fighting Star might not even last 256 hours.
——Farfetch’d was hiding in various places around the world.
This Observer clearly came with a purpose. His hiding methods were very professional, and he could always turn danger into safety. He even learned Protect and Substitute, skills that could save his life at critical moments.
Just as Iron Fire Kaguya was about to be repelled, the second Spatial Tremor erupted across the world. Guzzlord, Xurkitree, and paper imperial sword had appeared, and except for Buzwell and bumping head boy, basically all the other Ultra Beasts had shown up.
Martial Fighting Star has many dark sides. Besides the Elite Four and Champion on the surface, there are many powerful Martial Arts Trainers, including some who, like in this world, value the Pokémon’s own strength rather than obsessing over their own Martial Arts.
The original Reta fell in the final Deathmatch and did not qualify for advancement.
But from this Farfetch’d’s perspective, after losing the Deathmatch, Reta was not thrown away for cremation. Instead, he was secretly rescued by Sheriff Old A, and in the latter half of the world’s Destruction, he became a Hero fighting the Beasts.
After gaining official attention, Reta obtained resources he originally couldn’t get. Within the 200 hours as the world neared Destruction, he grew rapidly. And his Pikachu also gained the Ultra Beast Boost characteristic through modification.
Many places Farfetch’d passed by had posters of “Hero Reta.” He was humanity’s last hope on the edge of Extinction. Whenever electric light flashed on the battlefield, it gave people the will to keep living.
Zuo Hang paused.
——Farfetch’d passed by an alley, with a poster on the side of the building.
This was a close-up of Reta in battle. Zuo Hang zoomed in—the Pikachu’s ear had a yellow orb floating beside it.
This was an Electric Seed, a dedicated item for Pikachu. It could boost its Attack and Special Attack, increasing the power of Electric-type skills.
Zuo Hang also had an Electric Seed, but he didn’t give it to Pikachu. Over-relying on external forces would make it hard to improve one’s own strength. Not just Pikachu—Zuo Hang’s other Pokémon rarely carried items either.
He didn’t know if Reta had this awareness. Even if he did, the world didn’t leave him much time. Reta no longer had time to train Pikachu everywhere; he could only rely on the Electric Seed to push forward.
The video continued playing.
The Ultra Beasts realized that “Reta”‘s Existence was a spiritual symbol for Martial Fighting Star’s people. They began listing Reta as the primary attack Target in certain battles. Not only that, human leaders besides Reta also faced this situation one after another.
Killed from a distance by Iron Fire Kaguya’s Flash Cannon, falling into Naganadel’s poison trap
In the final hours of the world’s Destruction, besides Reta, all the other Elite Four and Champions died one after another. Reta ultimately couldn’t escape the fate of being surrounded.
Countless Xurkitree sang Sing next to Pikachu’s Ears.
——Skill Sing: Whisper softly in the opponent’s Ears, thereby lowering the opponent’s Special Attack.
Even carrying the Electric Seed, Pikachu couldn’t withstand so many Xurkitree’s Sing.
Guzzlord’s Hyper Beam, Naganadel’s famous poison stinger—after its proud Special Attack was reduced, Pikachu was just a little Electric Mouse at the mercy of others.
At the last moment, Reta hugged Pikachu in his arms, blocking a Flash Cannon for him.
Farfetch’d was standing right next to Reta.
He should have known long ago that after Reta’s Death, Martial Fighting Star would face total Defeat.
From Farfetch’d’s perspective: After being hit by the Flash Cannon, Reta had no chance of survival. The penetrating wound that pierced through his entire back would be fatal even with several lives.
Faint electric light swirled around the electric sacs on Pikachu’s cheeks.
“Zzzap~”
The faint Electric Current instantly became blindingly bright. Tens of thousands of thick lightning bolts rushed down from the black-cloud-covered sky. The similarly Electric-type Xurkitree were annihilated in the swathes of thunderlight. The purple Electric Current Cannon shooting from afar cleared out Iron Fire Kaguya, who had raised its iron arms, like mowing grass in a game.
Pikachu’s outburst at Reta’s Death became Martial Fighting Star’s last barely acceptable counterattack.
The more than 20 hours after the video switched back to an overhead God perspective.
Zuo Hang watched the footage of the Ultra Beasts unilaterally slaughtering again.
Very boring.
“Ding dong~, next stop, Feiao City. Thank you for riding Academy City Special Express 04. Have a pleasant Journey~”
The video ended, and the train arrived at the station just in time.
Zuo Hang got off and released Gardevoir.
“Let’s go, Feiao Black Pokémon Day Care!”
Two minutes later, Zuo Hang saw Little Charizard from afar.
“—Roar~~~~~” Charizard let out a joyful dragon roar upon seeing Zuo Hang.
“Garde~”
“Pika~”
The Electric Mouse and Gardevoir also waved at Charizard. The three Pokémon were old acquaintances, but they met infrequently because Charizard had gone out for Training.
Zuo Hang pulled out the Terminal from his pocket and opened the Battle Power Evaluation System.
【Charizard】
Attack: 370
Defense: 300
Special Attack: 412
Special Defense: 208
Speed: 402
Intelligence: 6（Normal human is 10）
Charm: 11（Normal male human is 5）
Overall Combat Power: SS
Combat Power Evaluation: War Ghost Unrivaled!
The familiar War Ghost Unrivaled appeared again. Unfortunately, before Charizard left for Training, Zuo Hang hadn’t gotten the Black Terminal yet; otherwise, he could have known exactly how much it grew this time.
Zuo Hang patted Charizard’s neck.
“Don’t worry, I’m back. No one took you away? Where’s Old Man?”
“Roar~!”
“Gone?” Zuo Hang was puzzled. Wasn’t that guy going to inject something into Little Charizard? Could he have suddenly changed his mind?
“You’re Zuo Hang?”
While thinking about what Old Man was planning, a Miss in a white Uniform suddenly patted Zuo Hang’s shoulder from behind.
Zuo Hang turned around and first saw a Gengar. It seemed to have been waiting specifically for Zuo Hang to turn, making a ghost face.
Too bad, Zuo Hang wasn’t scared. He also had a Gengar that loved making ghost faces, though it wasn’t at the Pokémon Day Care. He was immune to Ghost-type Pokémon’s little scares.
“I’m Zuo Hang, you…”
“Isabella! Aether Foundation Level 5 Specialist.”
The white Uniform was a bit like White Dragon school uniform, just with added half-finger gloves and a beret. The Pokémon Belt had a special slot, who knows what it held.
Isabella was a bit taller than Zuo Hang, with brown short hair, a somewhat cute appearance, and healthy wheat-colored skin—probably related to her job. Foundation Specialists often went on field missions.
“Oh, Aether Foundation.” Zuo Hang’s gaze suddenly became unfriendly.
“You’re the ones who wanted to turn my Little Charizard into an Ultra Beast?”
“Not turning into a Beast, just letting him gain the Ultra Beast Boost characteristic…” Isabella corrected.
Zuo Hang had just watched Martial World’s Extinction footage.
Most of this world’s Black Technology came from those world shadows, and Martial World happened to have those crazy scientists who modified Beasts.
Zuo Hang glanced at Isabella’s Gengar beside her.
Level 5 Specialist
That should be pretty strong, right?
“I can let the previous matter go. Beat me, and I’ll give you a chance to explain. Lose, and please leave—don’t target Charizard anymore, how about it?” Zuo Hang said.
Isabella chuckled lightly. “Sure, let’s settle it Trainer-style. If Zuo Tian were as straightforward as you, we’d have a lot less Trouble.
