Chapter 176 Fluttering Wings: Is Victini an Angel? (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets: 2223)

My Shadowball. Did it do no damage?

While the dream demon was stunned, the next instant, the counterattack of the wings struck like lightning!

Its gray-blue figure suddenly blurred in place, and in the next instant, it appeared above and to the side of the Dream Demon as if it had teleported!
His crimson eyes locked onto what was below, and a powerful mental wave, so strong it sent shivers down one's spine, suddenly erupted!
Mental strength!

The invisible, immense force formed by the mental storm covering a large area pressed down on the Dream Demon like a ton of seawater, suffocating it.

At the critical moment, a verdant figure appeared before the Dream Demon like an arrow released from a bow, taking the brunt of the terrifying mental attack!

It's Tire Meow!

The deep black dark energy covering its body undoubtedly indicates that its attribute has been transformed through [Transformation] into a dark attribute that is immune to psychic moves.

boom--

The terrifying mental force squeezed Tire Meow, and the power that could crush rocks vanished without a trace when it touched that layer of Dark-type energy.

"Ooh?"

A clear look of astonishment and confusion flashed in Zhenyi's scarlet eyes.

It couldn't understand why its move was completely ineffective against this intruder.

This absolute immunity to energy attributes surpasses Zhenyi Fa's ancient and primitive understanding of combat.

However, just as the flapping of wings faltered, Tire Cat's attack arrived.

The evil black light on his body receded and transformed, replaced by a deeper, darker purple shadow claw!
The claw shadow tore through the air, carrying a chilling aura that seemed to come from the netherworld, and the Shadow Claw suddenly fell!
laugh--

The sound of sharp claws piercing into a spirit body rang out, and Tire Cat's shadow claws tore fiercely across the winged, grayish-blue body!
"Ooh!"

The doubled energy of restraint entered his body, and the rich, dark purple Netherworld power eroded into him, causing his wings to emit a sharp, agonizing screech.

The force of the impact sent him staggering backward and flying backward!

Meanwhile, the Dream Demon, which had been poised to attack, once again unleashed its long-awaited Shadow Ball!
boom--

Before the corrosive energy of the Shadow Claws had dissipated, the Shadow Orbs fired in quick succession exploded on the Winged Hair!
The seeping ghostly energy made its already torn wounds from the Shadow Claws even more painful.

A hint of hesitation flickered in Zhenyi's crimson pupils before his gaze hardened.

If you can't win, retreat!
Her long, grey-blue hair, like wings, flowed backward. Using the impact of the Shadow Claw and Shadow Orb, she turned her head and flew into the depths of the forest.

Want to escape?
Xia Chi snorted coldly and called out, "Ponpon!"

The Egui Peng, which had been quietly staying by Xia Chi's side, vanished instantly. The speed that the flapping wings were so proud of was utterly laughable in its presence.

In the blink of an eye, Ponpo, wielding the giant thorny club, caught up with Zhenyi.

Then, a blow came down with the club!
"Ooh!"

A piercingly mournful scream rang out.

Previously, Winged Hair, who could fight back and forth with Tira and Misdreavus, fell asleep instantly.

------

Zhenyi's head spun and he slowly awoke.

Memories of the time before it fainted slowly surfaced in its mind.

Was I knocked unconscious by a tiny elf I'd never seen before?

Whenever he thinks about this, Zhenyi feels that the events of the past few days have been particularly strange.

First, he hunted down two strange elves he had never seen before, one of which even looked somewhat similar to himself.

After defeating them, the two elves suddenly disappeared.

Then, a few days later, they mysteriously reappeared!

Several more strangely shaped elves, whom he didn't recognize, appeared beside him.
Then he was knocked unconscious by a stick.

"Don't be sad. Winged Wing is a Pokémon whose physical defense is much lower than its special defense, so it's not that you're not strong enough, Misdreavus." A voice came from afar.

Strangely, I've never heard of Zhenyifa before, yet I can understand it.

"Zhenyifa" must be referring to me, right?

What are physical defense and special defense?
Never mind, let's get out of here first!
Zhenyi checked his physical condition and found it was better than he had imagined.

The seemingly harmless but actually terrifying elf didn't seem to be paying any attention to him.
Zhenyifa curled up her long, wing-like hair, preparing to escape from this group of strange creatures.

Suddenly, a sprite with a large head, a small body, and strange pointed ears appeared in front of it.

"Tini?"

You're awake?

The winged bird was startled. Just as it was about to assume an attack posture, it met the innocent and concerned gaze in those large, bright blue eyes, which showed no wariness whatsoever.

Is such an innocent look even possible in this world?
Since he could remember, Zhenyi had struggled to survive countless battles and fights, but for a moment he lost the will to fight.

Oh no, it's a trap!

Zhenyi immediately realized that this might be the "hunting tactic" of the elf in front of him.

Use these strange looks and expressions to lower the prey's guard, then strike with lightning speed!
But even as Vibrating Wings once again assumed an attack stance to prepare for a counterattack, the Pokémon in front of them still did not attack.

It blinked its pure, sky-like eyes once, and its cream-colored little wings flapped behind it like a gust of wind.

Then it pulled out a round object that emitted an enticing smell from somewhere and handed it to Zhenyifa.

Two tiny, pointed teeth flashed in a smile, "Tini~"

Want some macarons? They're delicious!

Macarons?
This must be a trap!

They want to use a seemingly tempting but actually deadly toxin to poison me without any cost!
Just like those beautiful mushrooms that are scattered throughout the forest.

As Zhenyi thought this, his vigilance deepened.

"Tini?"

To Zhenyi's surprise once again, seeing that it wasn't eating, the elf just tilted its head, looking puzzled.

Then he took a big bite and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Tini!"

It's so delicious!

Seeing this scene, Zhenyi's long-established psychological defenses collapsed instantly like an avalanche.

Is this an "angel"?

Although the word didn't exist in his mind, the corresponding image and the small figure in front of him perfectly overlapped in Zhenyi's mind.

Why would such spirits exist in a world that follows the law of the jungle?
Feeling deeply puzzled and shocked, Zhenyi looked towards the direction of the other strange spirits—

The terrifying elf who had knocked himself unconscious with a single blow was now quietly and affectionately leaning against the tall, thin elf.

The other two Pokémon that hadn't fought against them before seemed to be undergoing some kind of treatment.

So, the relationship between elves can be so...non-aggressive?

Zhenyi was puzzled because there was no positive word like "friendly" in the dictionary.

The tall, thin elf suddenly looked in their direction.

"Hey, Zhenyi, you're awake?"
