MM Racing Chapter 56 My Sword Has Never Been Weak
Chapter 56 My Sword Has Never Been Weak
A figure leaped out from the large tree on the back of the Earth Platform Tortoise; it was a Grass/Flying type Owl.
It landed on a thick tree branch, looking down at the twin sword sheaths with hostility.
"Who are you, villain? Why did you launch a sneak attack on me?"
"That's right! It was me who did it. A foolish and corrupt ghost like you is a worthy enemy of birds, but unfortunately my skills are not good enough to kill you in one blow." The snow fairy continued to translate their conversation for Lin Ye.
"Hmph, what arrogance! With your 'excellent' level of strength, if we met on the battlefield, I would have taken you down in no less than three rounds."
Upon seeing the Feathered Owl suddenly appear and start arguing with the Twin Swords Sheaths, Lin Ye's astonished expression quickly turned into one of delight.
This is a rare starter Pokémon, and one of the few among them that will have the Ghost attribute in the future, which is a perfect match for Lin Ye's necromancer path.
The move it just used was probably the Grass-type "Leaf Blade," a physical skill that requires close-range combat, but it was used by Tobi-Owl for ranged attacks.
This means that the owl in front of us has an even rarer hidden characteristic - "distance"!
Pokémon with this characteristic can use even melee moves as ranged attacks.
In the game, this feature can first and foremost prevent counter-effects such as "static electricity" and "spores".
In the real world, it must have even more wonderful uses, and Lin Ye immediately had the idea of subduing it.
"Winged Owl! Twin Swords Sheath and Lin Ye are your Uncle Zoroark's guests, so don't be rude!" Torterra interrupted the argument in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, the Feathered Owl had no choice but to fly down from the tree and land in front of the twin sword sheaths, but it still held its head high and chest out:
"What did you just say about swearing to defend the orthodoxy to the death! Bah! Your so-called orthodoxy has harmed so many kind civilians and hurt so many innocent Pokémon."
"Injustices and dark aspects are inevitable in every dynasty, and even this modern alliance cannot possibly be perfect in every way."
"Yes!! So we must have another revolution, we must overthrow the alliance!!!"
"That's right! Look! Even the current alliance couldn't do it!"
Wait a minute! What did you say?! Aren't you one of these traitors? You actually want to overthrow the alliance they helped create!
"That's right! Class divides still exist under the current Alliance rule because the revolution is not thorough enough, and that is precisely the mission of us, the revolutionaries of the new era."
"Hey, Zoroark! Would you like to hear what the Feathered Owl is saying?"
Zoroark shook his head helplessly: "Sigh, this kid was picked up by us old guys several years ago."
At the time, it was a young Woody Owl and all alone, so we took it in as our own child.
Unexpectedly, because the child had been listening to our stories from back then since he was a child, the dream of becoming a revolutionary was gradually planted in his heart.
Upon learning that the feudal dynasty had been overthrown and that the current rulers were an alliance, it conceived a plan to overthrow the alliance.
"Goodness, so this feathered owl is quite a restless creature!"
My team already has bandits, tyrants, and feudal remnants. If we add another extremist like that, things will really get out of hand.
As Lin Ye was pondering this, the verbal exchange between the two Pokémon grew increasingly intense:
“…………”
"Monarchy is the future of humanity!"
Revolutionaries never stop!
"You traitor!"
"You're a royal descendant!"
"To restore the glory of the empire is our inescapable duty!"
"Down with the feudal, corrupt, and oppressive emperor!"
"..."
In the end, the two sword sheaths were enraged and drew both swords, their blades pointing directly at the Feathered Owl:
"Would you like to test the sharpness of my sword?"
"My sword has never been ineffective!"
Although the aura emanating from the Feathered Owl was only at the peak of the "Excellent" level, its imposing presence was in no way inferior!
It condenses the energy of plants into a sharp "leaf blade", which confronts the double sword sheaths from a distance!
"Okay, okay~, it seems that the only place for people with different opinions to argue is on the internet."
However, once the online battles are moved offline, there's a risk of getting headshot in any world.
To avoid escalating the conflict, Lin Ye simply put the dual sword sheaths back into the Poké Ball before asking what he most wanted to ask:
"Zoroark, Zoroark told me before that he was incredibly envious of how well you've mastered the 'Illusion' ability. I wonder if you could share some of your experience with it."
Zoroark grinned with an air of complete control: "Hehe~, I knew you'd ask! Don't worry, if I wasn't planning to teach it, I wouldn't have brought you guys along in the first place!"
Lin Ye and Zoroark happily expressed their gratitude, but Zoroark raised his hand to stop them:
"Don't get too excited yet. This in-depth development of the characteristics of 'illusion' is something I have been working on and carefully studying for over a century, and it is something I have gradually honed."
Whether the little guy can learn it depends on whether he has the talent. Even if he does, it's not something he can master in a day or two.
Okay, I'll try teaching it now. If it works, bring it with you next time, and I'll teach you everything I know.
"Alright, alright~~ I believe Zoroya will definitely be able to learn it, so I'll trouble you to guide me in the future."
"Gurgle~~"
Soroya held its head high and wagged its tail incessantly, displaying its full confidence.
"Alright~, I'll teach you now, little one, watch carefully."
In front of everyone, Zoroark taught Zoroark how to use the properties of "illusion".
It doesn't worry about others stealing its skills, because even if someone wanted to learn, they would first need to have the unique talent of their species.
While waiting, Gastly peeked its head out of the shadows and looked around.
"Boss, are we just going to wait like this? This valley is so big, there might be some treasure inside..."
"Are you crazy! Dual sword sheaths are already 'professional-grade,' but you've forgotten how you were suppressed by the Earth-Based Turtle just now."
Gastly thought about it and realized it made sense, so it slowly slipped into the shadows, saying with lingering fear, "I was just saying, just saying~~"
The Snow Fairy floated to the side and went to chat with the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Although they are of different generations, they are both elegant and beautiful female Pokémon.
At this moment, the two "beauties" were huddled together, whispering something to each other, with occasional soft laughter.
Nine-Tailed Fox would occasionally cast curious glances at Lin Ye, while Snow Fairy, standing to the side, would unusually show a shy demeanor, seemingly discussing some juicy topic.
Lin Ye sat alone on the grass, idly watching Soroya in the distance.
Zoroark naturally taught this person, who might be his only remaining descendant of his kind in the world, without reservation.
Although the general tone was one of harsh criticism, Lin Ye could see the surprise and astonishment hidden in Zoroark's eyes at that moment.
Clearly, the little fox's talent in this area exceeded its previous expectations.
One taught diligently, and the other studied earnestly; they quickly made visible progress.
Seeing this, Lin Ye felt much more at ease. At least he didn't have to worry about Zoroya not being able to learn it; at most, it would just be a matter of proficiency, which would be a matter of time and effort.
Just then, a flapping sound of wings suddenly rang out. Lin Ye turned his head and saw that it was the Winged Owl that had flown to his side.
At this moment, it stood somewhat awkwardly beside me, looking at me with a hesitant and uncertain gaze!
