Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 84 Battle Erupts, Taijing Black Night Demon (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions)

Watching Charizard get ambushed and defeated by Steelix, Candira clenched his fists, suppressing his anger, his eyes filled with resolve as he looked at Alo.

The other person was once a member of Team Brave and was a very good friend of hers, but later betrayed her and joined Team Rocket, helping these Pokémon mafia to do heinous things.

This is why she wanted to capture Yalo, because she bore some responsibility for his betrayal of the Martial Arts Team...

But just as she was distracted by the appearance of Team Rocket, a large blue hand suddenly reached out from the mist behind her and grabbed at her.

A spark ignited, and a vibrant red flame emanated from Candira, temporarily repelling the night demon that attacked her.

"Oh wow~"

Yalo was somewhat surprised, but Candira took out a beautiful feather with flickering flames from her waist and said in a cold tone, "Have you forgotten what the symbol of the Martial Valor Team is? This is a talisman."

"Tsk... Moltres, huh?"

Looking at the feather belonging to the firebird in Candira's hand, Yaro's expression showed a hint of apprehension. This was a token that only the captain of the Martial Arts Team could possess, and it was this very token that he had failed to obtain in the first place.

But that's all in the past now. His goal is to capture this Night Demon, and then plan to capture Latias after he gets out. As for Candira? Let that woman die here this time!

"Capture the Night Demon first!"

"receive!"

Wearing a viewing goggle, the Night Demon, shrouded in mist, had nowhere to hide. Yesterday, the lack of preparation in this regard resulted in a disaster, but this time it was different.

They dispatched several Nosegate and Magneton to disrupt the magnetic field and prevent Dusknoir from escaping. However, while this method did have some effect, Dusknoir simply waved its hand, and many Ghost-type Pokémon in the forest abandoned their prey and rushed towards them.

"Enlarge the wolfhound and Houndoom!"

Yaro was well aware of this situation and had already devised a strategy. Against Ghost-types, Dark-types were the obvious choice, and Team Rocket had no shortage of Dark-types.

Everything proceeded smoothly. The attacking Pokémon were all intercepted, and Dusknoir was trapped in the blockade. All that remained was to defeat it, a task naturally left to him.

"Solve it!"

Yalo, disregarding all martial ethics, threw out two Poké Balls, from which Scizor and Aggron appeared, making a total of three including Steelix.

Candira recalled his Charizard and was hesitating whether to join the battle when a figure suddenly appeared in the distance. Mingyou, riding the Deer of the Demons, launched a fierce attack with a barrier, directly knocking Yalo away!

"Found you!"

The Deer with the horned antlers braked and stopped. Mingyou led Ponpon to look at the Night Demon. After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Ponpon was suddenly stunned and remembered something.

"Mmm!"

Ponpo pointed at the other person with a thorny vine club, saying that this was the guy who stole her mask. The back view looked very similar to his, and that the other person was the one who ambushed and injured her when she chased him to the Eternal Forest!

Now we've finally found the real culprit!

Mingyou's eyes sharpened as well. So this was the bastard who had almost wronged Heyue Xiong...

[Dusknoir (Shiny): A Grab Pokémon with an extremely violent and greedy personality, capable of any means necessary. However, gaining its favor is very easy; simply become its friend. But friends... taste delicious.]

"You bastard who eats your friends!"

At this moment, Kuma and Xiao Zhao also came over. The Team Rocket trio hid behind Kuma, watching the battle unfold nervously. As the battle broke out, the fog here dissipated somewhat.

"It's that guy, Yalo..."

"We absolutely cannot let him succeed, meow!"

"Let's wait for an opportunity..."

"Hehehe~"

Faced with so many people surrounding it, the Night Demon was not panicked at all. Instead, it let out a strange laugh. This is more interesting. With everyone coming together, it can make it take things a little more seriously.

Its eyes swept around, noticing the appearance of the Moon Bear, but its attention eventually settled on Ponpon, and it let out another strange laugh.

"Hehehe~"

The Night Demon knew very well about Ponpo's identity—the evil spirit in the legends of Beishang Township… but the Night Demon should be the Ghost King of Beishang Township!

After all, only Ghost-types can be called ghosts. Do you, a Grass-type, even deserve to be called a ghost? I laughed when I heard that. I'll go to the Crystal Ghost first and then come back.

The only pity is that, despite having such a wonderful place as Ghost Mountain, it can only live in the eternal forest. Ghost Mountain is such a strange place, but it hasn't given up yet. Sooner or later...

Before it could finish barking, Ponpong had already charged over, swinging its thorny vine club and striking the Night Demon on the head. At the same time, the Moon Bear also launched an attack, unleashing a destructive ray!

With a loud bang!

Ponpo used the impact of the explosion to jump away, while Ursaring charged forward. Alo, who had gotten up, covered his face and yelled at his Pokémon, "Take care of these troublesome guys first!"

"roar!"

The giant steel snake roared and charged directly at the Moon Bear, while Yalo stared at it: "It's you again, you monster! It's time to settle the score from last night!"

Last night, he led his men to search for the Night Demon while capturing wild Pokémon in the area to study whether they had been contaminated with antimatter.

However, perhaps his attempt to capture Pokémon using machinery went too far, and he was attacked by this bear, destroying all his equipment. As a result, when he later encountered Dusknoir, he had no choice but to abandon his teammates and run away...

He didn't know Heyue Xiong, so after hearing the rumors about Beishang Township, he could only refer to him as a monster, and he planned to capture him as well this time.

"Don't even think about succeeding!"

Candila, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly rushed over and punched him in the face...

The scene gradually became chaotic, but Mingyou's goal was clear, and she kept her eyes fixed on the Night Demon. The other party seemed to be staring at Pengpeng as well, and then deliberately reached into the open belly and took out a mask.

"Hehehe~"

"Mmm!"

Seeing the green grass mask in the other's hand, Ponpo subconsciously wanted to step forward, but the scyther used Bullet Punch to sneak up and hit Ponpo in the face. The ghost mask was also knocked away and fell to the ground.

"Hmm..."

"Ponpon!"

Mingyou was about to go forward to check, but the Bosscodora suddenly rushed towards them. Its size and the force of its heavy impact were no less than that of a dump truck.

Fortunately, the Deer was faster and used its barrier attack to directly collide with the Aggron. The impact of the collision sent several people flying.

But seizing that fleeting moment, the scyther tried to ambush Ponpo again, only this time, a hand tightly gripped its massive metal pincers.

"That'll teach you to be so uncivilized!"

Xiao Zhao grabbed the Scizor and slammed it to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw, suppressing the Pokémon with pure physical strength. The trainer's purity was extremely high, but Mingyou did not see this scene.

All the troublemakers were held back, leaving only him, Ponpo, and the Night Demon opposite them. Looking at the mask in the other's hand, he raised his hand and said, "Your days of acting recklessly are over. Hand over the Green Grass Mask!"

"Hehehe~"

If you want it, come and take it; you know the rules.

"I knew you'd say that..."

Mingyou became completely serious, and Pengpeng also picked up the demon mask and put it back on. The battle was about to begin!

In that instant, the Green Grass Mask in the Night Demon's hand stirred up a turbulent storm of crystals.

The next second, its body was covered by expanding crystals, which shone with a dazzling light. These crystals then shattered, and countless crystalline particles scattered in the air like snowflakes.

At this moment, the Night Demon's body seemed to be coated with a layer of crystal, like a work of art, reflecting the light of the surrounding particles, and above its head was a small, ghost-shaped crystal gem that swayed slightly.

"This is...too crystallized?!"

Mingyou was slightly taken aback, finally understanding why Heyuexiong said the Night Demon had become stronger after obtaining the mask, but this feeling was truly unpleasant: "Is this how you use Ponpo's mask! Give it back to us!"

"Mmm!"

"Hehehe!"

This is how the power of the Tai Crystal is used!
