Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Immersed in it, feeling on the battlefield
Before he knew it, Mark's attention was completely focused on the strange force.
Two more bolts of lightning came into view. With one hand, Raticate transformed into a palm and extinguished an electric ball. With the other hand, he swung a fist and shattered a blue-purple electric current.
Every move of Raticate was just ordinary punches and kicks, and the power didn't seem to be very strong, but they could defeat all the incoming lightning.
Mark was immersed in it, waving his hands subconsciously, trying to simulate and replicate the strange power's movements, but he found that he could not only learn it, but he couldn't even touch the surface.
While Mark was trying to imitate the super-strength punches and kicks, Caterpie next to him was also waving his legs to try.
The result was the same as Mark's, Caterpie got nothing.
The man and the insect looked at each other, shook their heads, and then nodded to each other.
They shook their heads because they hadn't discovered how the strange power was achieved, and they nodded because they didn't intend to give up.
"Back to basics...Back to basics..."
Mark was lost in thought as he observed the strange force's movements and punches and kicks.
The obsession with returning to nature accumulated over decades in the dream world made him forget everything around him and focus all his attention on the strange power.
Caterpie did the same, twisting and dancing its body while watching the movements of the monster.
And then…Mark was interrupted.
The corner of Old Man Aaron's mouth twitched, and he patted Mark's shoulder three times in a row, finally waking up the perverted boy who had gone crazy. At the same time, he used his other hand to slap Caterpie's forehead continuously, waking up the crazy Caterpie as well.
It can be seen that the man and the insect were both immersed in the strange power moves, and did not care at all that they were in the center of a dangerous battlefield.
Old Man Aaron grinned and said, "What do you mean by returning to basics? This is a special skill that combines the [Hold] move with the [See Through] move. In fact, in addition to this, the strange force has also mastered another more powerful special skill of the [Hold] move. Watch it carefully."
Following Old Man Aaron's words, the strange man beside him understood and shouted.
At the same time, the elite electric tornado that was kicked away by the flame chicken during Mark's crazy period came back, and another specialized version of the aggregated [electric ball] flew towards the direction of Old Man Aaron.
This time the electric ball is slightly smaller than last time, but its speed is much faster than last time.
Raticate acted quickly. Compared with the smooth and natural way he dissolved the electric ball last time, his movements this time were a little stiff, but he felt more powerful, and the muscles all over his body were shaking violently.
Finally, the four arms of the strange force gathered together, turned fists into palms and pushed towards the giant electric ball.
[Hold (Rebound)]!
The huge golden electric ball did not disintegrate or explode after it came into contact with the monster's palm. Instead, it bounced back towards the direction of Ampharos without slowing down.
boom!!
Violent electric light exploded, and the Ampharos itself suffered the consequences of its own moves, its body twitching violently under the violent golden electric light.
Old Man Aaron looked at the strange force's moves, rubbed his stubble, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
In fact, this move of Raticate is not very stable. There is a 50% chance that it will bounce off course after rebounding, and only a 50% chance that it can bounce back along the original path.
And this time, Raticate's performance was perfect.
While thinking, Old Man Aaron turned his head to look at Mark beside him, wanting to see Mark's shocked expression.
Although Mark and Caterpie had entered a state of insanity on the battlefield, which made him feel speechless, he was actually secretly happy in his heart. After all, the man and Caterpie were insane because they saw his strange power.
However, when Old Man Aaron turned around, he found that Mark's reaction was mediocre. His attention was not focused on the strange power. He was muttering to himself and his expression seemed to be reminiscing.
Obviously, the special move of the strange force at the beginning was just to neutralize the attack, and the [Hold (Rebound)] just used, actually bounced the attack back along the same path.
Why looking at Mark's expression, it seems that the previous attack was more powerful?
Shouldn't the specialized move of rebound attack be more powerful?
Just as Old Man Aaron guessed, Mark did think that the initial dissolution of the strange power was more powerful.
The initial dissolution of the strange force, with each punch and kick, was effortless and freehand, giving him a natural feeling.
The subsequent rebound attack, although it looks more visually effective, has a deliberate feel and lacks the naturalness of the previous one.
Mark pinched his chin lightly, frowned and thought: "If what Uncle Aaron said is true, it seems that if Caterpie and I want to master the return to nature, we must understand [guard] and [see through].
No, this is not a return to nature.
Although the strange power just showed great strength, it is still some distance away from the true return to nature. It should combine what the strange power has mastered, let Caterpie understand and master it, and then further integrate and develop it, and then continue to break through, so as to return to nature..."
His shoulders were patted again. Mark looked up and saw Uncle Aaron rolling his eyes at him.
Old Man Aaron grinned and complained, "Stop talking about your return to nature. I don't know how you two, a man and a bug, could be so distracted in such an environment.
Forget it, let's not talk about this.
These people are not very strong, I should be able to handle it by myself. I am not very confident about Teacher Sun, so go to the forest and take a look at the situation.
That's your home ground and you're more familiar with it. If something happens to Teacher Emira, save him if you can. If you can't, come back and tell me.
By the way, if you find that the enemy is too strong, don't rush in."
Mark nodded slightly, then he thought of something and showed a worried expression.
Although Old Man Aaron's supernatural powers and Pokémons are very powerful, Old Man Aaron's health is very poor. Even with the protection of supernatural powers, he may still be attacked. He is really not very reassured.
Looking at Mark's worried expression, Old Man Aaron felt inexplicably warm in his heart.
Obviously, Mark was more worried about him than the young and beautiful teacher Emira.
Old Man Aaron patted Mark on the shoulder again and said, "My concern for you is not in vain, kid. Don't worry, my strange power has not yet shown its true strength.
Haven't you always been asking what elite and senior Pokémons are? I have already explained half of the elite level, and it will take me a while to explain the remaining half.
Now I will let Raticate show you what a senior Pokémon is."
"Strange power, excited state!"
The body of the strange power trembled violently, and a blood-colored energy representing the fighting system rose on the surface of the strange power like a flame. At the same time, the muscles all over the strange power's body swelled further, and the body size also became larger.
"Senior-level super strength?"
"More powerful than the boss?"
"This old man is actually a senior trainer!"
On the battlefield, more than a dozen members of the Thunder Corps were in an uproar and their morale suffered a huge blow.
Jeff said, "Don't be afraid or retreat. Raticate is a fighting Pokémon and lacks long-range attack methods. Even a senior spirit will be exhausted by us!"
As Jeff spoke, the strange force's body accumulated blood energy, and a violent [Qi Bomb] was shot out, blowing away Ampharos that was covered in wounds from the backlash of the [Electric Ball] not long ago.
Ampharos was blown away and tried to get up but failed, and fell to the ground unconscious.
Obviously, the strange force has the ability to attack from a distance.
Old Man Aaron turned his head to look at Mark who was in a daze beside him, and said with a relatively formal and serious expression: "See, I am a senior trainer after all.
Don't worry about me, go to the forest and see how Teacher Emira is doing. As for the advanced skills of the strange force and the special moves it used before, I will tell you in detail when you come back, go quickly..."
[Hold] and [See Through] are guard-type moves. In the Pokémon game, their effect is to completely defend against the opponent's attack. Continuous use will easily lead to failure. The specific probability is 100% for the first time, 33% for the second time, and 11% for the third time...
In the real world, this is definitely not the case.
First of all, it is unrealistic to have absolute defense and not suffer any damage at all. You will suffer some minor damage.
Then, as long as you are strong enough, you can defend continuously, but if you are too weak, you will not be able to defend.
In the game, any giant crab using [Defend] can block Rayquaza's [Dragon's Point] without getting hurt. This situation will never happen in this book.
