Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 102 Evolution, Zoroark, a terrifying illusion!

Shadow Clone is a Normal-type move that creates dozens of clones identical to the original to distract the opponent, allowing for a surprise attack or disrupting their judgment.

A large group of Zoroas surrounded Dratini, which looked around warily.

Raven focused his attention on observing the situation on the field, trying to find out Zorua's true form and tell Dratini.

But Anna on the other side clearly didn't want to give them that chance.

"Zorua, use your supernatural powers together!"

The next second, the dozens of Zoroya moved at the same time.

An invisible force quickly condensed into a transparent ball of light, which then attacked the mini-dragon in the center from all directions.

Fast, too fast!
Furthermore, this Zoroa's illusionary abilities have been honed to an unparalleled level, to the point that they have even affected its shadow clones, making it impossible for ordinary people to distinguish between the real and the fake.

Although Raven immediately gave Dratini the command to jump and avoid it, he was still a step too late.

Countless supernatural forces struck the Mini Dragon, causing it to let out a cry of pain.

Anna pointed at him: "Zorua, use your supernatural powers again!"

The surrounding Zoroa clones paused slightly before moving.

Taking advantage of the opponent's pause, Raven instantly determined the location of the real body.

"Mini Dragon, to the left front, a tornado!"

"Woo!"

Despite the intense pain, Dratini forced itself to aim at the left front, its mouth surging with purple flames that transformed into a tornado, crashing straight into Zoroah's psychic power.

Two completely different energies collided violently, but in the end, Sororia prevailed.

The terrifying power tore the tornado apart in the middle, violently blasting the mini-dragon away.

"Woo..."

The mini dragon tried hard to stand up, but eventually collapsed due to exhaustion.

"You've worked hard, Dratini. Now you can rest well." Raven fed Dratini some tree sap that could restore its strength, and then reached out to pat its head.

After doing this, Raven looked up at Anna again.

"Anna, I'm going to get serious now," Raven said slowly, taking a deep breath.

At his signal, the Green Vine Serpent walked up arrogantly and looked at Zoroya opposite him with its signature disdainful gaze.

Looking at the monster opposite her, Anna couldn't help but feel nervous.

Having fought against magical beasts many times, she could more or less sense the approximate strength of a magical beast.

Prince Raven's magical beast, the Green Vine Serpent, is currently his most powerful magical beast companion.

"We will not give up!" Anna clenched her fists and said firmly.

The second match has officially begun.

"Zorua, use your supernatural powers after creating a shadow clone!"

Anna gave the first order, attempting to continue the tactic they had just used.

But this time, her opponent is not the late-blooming Mini Dragon.

As the Zoroa clone gradually appeared, encircling the Green Vine Serpent, Raven calmly gave the order:

"Magic Leaf."

At the same time, Zoroah began to gather his supernatural powers.

The two Pokémon attacked almost simultaneously.

The instant the invisible supernatural force struck the Green Vine Serpent, countless magical leaves also condensed and took shape. With a whooshing sound, the sharp leaves broke through several clones in succession.

Faced with that supernatural power, the Green Vine Snake, known for its agility, slightly lowered its body and glided along the ground at great speed, just like a real snake.

The moment the supernatural power missed its target, the scattered magical leaves finally locked onto Zoroah's true form.

"Whoosh—" A series of sharp sounds rang out, and several clearly visible wounds appeared on Zoroya's body.

"Wow, such speed!" Anna's eyes widened in disbelief.

“I’m sorry, Anna, I understand your feelings, but I still can’t bear to see you go to the battlefield.” Raven said in a deep voice, “Green Vine Serpent, Vine Whip!”

The next second, two thick vine whips extended from the Green Vine Serpent's body, twisting and lashing towards Zoroya.

Oh no! Seeing this, Anna became anxious and quickly ordered Soroya to get out of the way.

But the next second, it was discovered that Zoroya's feet had somehow become entangled in several tough blades of grass!

That's... a knot in the grass!

Two vine whips struck Zoroya heavily, instantly forcing him to his knees.

"No!" Anna cried out in alarm.

Little Zoroya gritted his teeth, looking determined not to give up.

It glanced sideways at Anna's unyielding face behind it.

Anna... I feel your conviction. Not only you, but I also want to protect this place where even monsters can live happily—Zoroa thought to himself.

"Woo..."

It let out a firm cry.

The next second, a dazzling and intense milky-white light shot into the sky from its body.

Within the light, Zoroah's appearance changed rapidly.

It slowly stood up from the ground, its originally short forelimbs transforming into two sharp claws, and a tuft of deep red mane surged from the top of its head at an extremely fast speed until it covered its back.

That's... evolution!
Zoroark evolved into Zoroark!
Raven's gaze darkened.

Anna looked at the light and couldn't help but show a look of surprise on her face.

"Zorua...!"

Zoroark silently nodded slightly to Anna, then turned to look at the blue vine snake in front of him.

The next second, a bewitching, dark purple light flashed in its eyes.

Seeing this, Raven knew in his heart that something was wrong.

After Zoroark evolves into Zoroark, its illusion abilities are greatly enhanced.

This Zoroark is going to create illusions to confuse its opponent again!
"Green Vine Snake, close your eyes and stay awake!" Raven said in a deep voice.

The green vine snake immediately did as instructed.

It then plunged into darkness.

Gradually, all the sounds around us disappeared.

The Green Vine Snake opened its eyes and found itself alone in a vast, boundless forest.

……

"Green Vine Snake! Wake up!"

However, no matter how Raven called out, the Green Vine Serpent, standing still, did not respond. Its eyes were lifeless, as if it had fallen into some kind of illusion.

Yes, that's the power Zoroark possesses.

The illusions it created during its Zorro period may have been very weak, but once it evolves, this ability will be greatly enhanced.

It can not only transform itself into other things, but also has the power to make hundreds of people see illusions.

It is said that Zoroark will imprison and punish those who attempt to capture it in illusory scenes, and when their habitat is about to be exposed to humans, Zoroark will create illusions that make people wander endlessly in the forest.

If one cannot see through the illusions, lacks a strong will, or has less mental strength than Zoroark, then one will likely be completely powerless when facing them.
