Pokémon World Adventure

"boom!!"

There was no deviation between the power of the armored Tyrannosaurus' earth and the missile needle of the Giant Needle Bee, sealing Minato and the elves in the explosion from top to bottom.

Looking at the thick smoke billowing in front of him, Sakaki gently wiped the dust on his chest. Only then did he suddenly realize that his palms were soaked with sweat.

"A good opponent... If you were born ten years earlier or met me ten years later..."

After saying this, Sakaki shook his head slightly and called the two elves to turn around and leave. There are those ifs. The loser is buried in the loess and has a speechless mouth. The winner holds everything, so why do you need to be so emotional?

…………

At the same time, in the smoke and dust.

'Little devil...'

‘You little brat, open your eyes! ! ’

The roar in the back of his mind was like a heavy blow that brought Minato, who was gradually losing consciousness, back to reality. Minato suddenly opened his eyes and subconsciously took a deep breath. The choking smoke rushed into his lungs and made him cough violently. .

Thanks to this, he finally cheered up.

"Ahem! This thick smoke...I, did I lose...Old ghost, was it you who saved me?"

Minato asked while enduring the severe pain in his abdomen. What lingered in his mind was the moment before the explosion. Although he was very reluctant, Minato had to admit that he was not Sakaki's opponent yet. The final attack was so fierce that he quickly let it go. He couldn't react, if it weren't for the crystal lantern spirit...

'It's not me, I want to take action, but the old man with the white beard does have a hand. This so-called Poké Ball really restrains my power... Besides, there are these guys who have feelings far above mine. Look carefully. Look around! ’

Um? If it weren't for the Crystal Lantern Fire Spirit to take action, then...

Minato looked up with confusion. His eyes were dark because of the thick smoke, but those all-too-familiar smells could not deceive anyone.

Big Needle Bee, Electric Shock Beast, Big Steel Snake, and even Bulbasaur who broke free from the Poké Ball without authorization...

The elves gathered around him, using their bodies to block the ferocious explosion for Minato...

"This...I..."

Minato opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't say a word.

‘Don’t be so moved that I was stunned, why don’t you get up quickly! The enemy hasn't gone far yet, and the battle hasn't ended yet. You are a trainer recognized by everyone, and I won't allow you to lose to that kind of person! ’

"I... everyone is too seriously injured, I... I am not qualified to force everyone to fight anymore..."

Minato hurriedly went to cover Bulbasaur's bleeding wound. Due to Bulbasaur's size, Bulbasaur was much more seriously injured than other elves. Dark green blood dripped down and formed a pool at Minato's feet. Blood puddle.

‘You gave up? Or do you want to escape? Why do you think everyone is trying so hard to protect your life? ! Minato Kamiya, haven't you always shown off to me that you can communicate with the elves? Why don't you go and see what everyone is thinking now? ’

The crystal lamp fire spirit's questioning made Minato speechless. He could sense everyone's thoughts even without looking at him. The desire to fight burned fiercely, not for myself but for him.

But it was this heavy love that made Minato hesitate.

Sakaki was too strong, and even though Minato tried every trick in the battle, he still couldn't get back into the situation. Eye of the Soul, Stinky Mud, Big Steel Snake, Electric Beast, Big Needle Bee, Bulbasaur... everyone did very well. Even though their level strength is not as good as the opponent's, they still tried their best to create opportunities again and again. What I hate is that He doesn't have enough strength, not enough experience, and not enough judgment... How can he lead everyone who is scarred to win...

…………

About a month ago, Dr. Ohki's laboratory.

"Minato, this, this is so interesting! How did you and the Needle Bee do it?!"

The person who spoke was Dr. Omu. He was sitting in front of the computer and looked at the graphic data fed back and was amazed.

"Hey, I call this 'Soul Fusion Mode'. Connecting with the elf's mind is like two souls merging into one. How exactly is it done... I'm not here to ask you. After all, in this state, although The strength of the elf has improved, but I can't control my body, which is too fatal in battle. So I thought, if you can find some scientific basis, maybe you can let me develop 'Soul Mode 2' …”

Minato said proudly as he pulled out the cable tube attached to his body.

"Soul mode...this name is too..." Ohgi was about to complain, but saw Minato's dark face.

Xian immediately swallowed his words again, "Ahem...this is not easy to handle. Maybe this ability should be classified as a superpower. Although I can use instruments to analyze your mental state, what you said 'Qi' and 'spiritual power' are just concepts. Besides, you are the only example, so it's really hard to start with..."

Dr. Oki scratched his head with a look of distress on his face. As a researcher, he had a great interest in exploring Minato's so-called Soul Fusion Mode, but even though he was as knowledgeable as he was, he had no clue and no way to start. This was so depressing.

"That's it..."

Minato said regretfully that it would be really tricky if Dr. Ohki couldn't do anything, which meant that he could only explore it bit by bit on his own.

But now that the league has given a clear answer, the time to take action against the Rockets can be said to be imminent, and Minato has someone he wants to fight against no matter what.

The entry certificate for the Quartz Tournament is eight gym badges. Minato has never thought about badges other than the eight gymnasiums in Kanto since he embarked on the journey. This last green badge is in Sakaki's hands!

Whether it's an enemy or not, Minato can foresee the brutality of this battle. Unless he encounters a wonderful place like the Cave of Silence again within the current time limit, the only thing Minato can think of to get to the next level is to perfect the soul-joining mode. Already...

"Well, don't be too quick to be disappointed. Although I can't offer good advice as a researcher, I'm also a powerful trainer, humph~" Dr. Ohmu boasted proudly with a thumbs up. .

"Hey~~ A powerful trainer who was easily abducted by Team Rocket~~~"

"Cough! Cough... Time is not forgiving, you brat will know it when you reach my age!" The doctor choked and his face turned red. He coughed twice and continued: "Actually, I wouldn't have done anything like this if it hadn't happened today. I want to mention something to you, Minato, are you too focused on your status as a trainer?"

Dr. Oak was a little worried. He didn't know it earlier, but since Minato returned to Zhenxin Town from his trip, the two have interacted a lot more. Dr. Oak, who was also the former champion, soon discovered that there seemed to be some deviations in Minato's fighting style.

Minato was stunned for a moment. Dr. Ohki's words really stopped him a bit. It seemed that he hit the bottom straight to the essence and yet it seemed that wiping away the dust revealed nothing...

"Is there anything wrong with attaching importance to the role of trainers? Fighting is a two-way street, and trainers play a pivotal role in it."

"That's the problem. As you said, fighting is a common thing for both parties. The elves fighting on the frontline and the trainers commanding from behind. Now I am very happy to see a trainer like you who works hard on the basics. Knowledge, reaction, command... Your grades in the elf school are enough to prove your excellence as a trainer, but once people have a bias, they often start to ignore other things. Maybe all you need is to pay more attention to what works for you. The elves fighting instead of focusing all their attention on their opponents. It is not good to instill decision-making into the elves. Try to listen to what the elves want to tell you during the battle..."

…………

"Listen to the voices of the elves..."

Minato murmured to himself, his heart breaking through the clouds and seeing the light.

He has always been demanding on himself, because every opponent he meets is stronger than the last. He kept telling himself that passion and impulsiveness could not solve any problems, and that only by making himself stronger step by step could he win.

But it is precisely because of this that Minato gradually forgets more important things. The reason why so many people are fascinated by the spirit battle is not because it has countless possibilities until the last moment. But Minato forgot this impulse at some point, and instead of communicating with the elves, he relied on his own calculations to analyze the situation over and over again. How was he different from Sakaki, who regarded the elves as weapons...

Minato gritted his teeth and slowly stood up, looking around. The eyes of the elves in the black smoke were shining like stars.

Meeting, acquaintance, acquaintance, the bond of love is like an old fine wine, immersed in Minato's heart, echoing their respective feelings and blending together perfectly without his taking the initiative.

There was a faint white light on Minato and all the elves, and the focus in their pupils merged into one. This was the first time that they entered the Soul Fusion mode so smoothly and naturally, even Bulbasaur and Electabuzz, who had never cooperated successfully before, were the same.

Everyone listened to their own voices and felt the pain from each other. The unparalleled tacit understanding and touching reached its peak at this moment! !

‘Oh oh oh~~This is it! This soaring soul power is really exciting! That's it, go ahead and beat the shit out of that man in the suit! Only your appearance in battle can make people look at you slightly! ’

"That last sentence is unnecessary! Well, is this what everyone is trying to tell me..."

Minato covered his chest and closed his eyes to feel it. Let him be excited today!
