Chapter 182: Unknown reason

Changing your type, huh?

Seeing this scene, Terrance chuckled. This Castform seemed quite clever, knowing about Ghost Type energy. Typically, Ghost-type energy would be greatly weakened against the body of a Normal-type.

However

At the critical moment, the trajectories of three Shadow Balls suddenly changed, colliding with each other. Boom! A resounding explosion ensued, releasing a surge of energy that rippled outward.

Rolling mist lingered as the energy of Ghost Type move, weak against Normal-type, interacted with the Shadow Balls, continually decomposing and expanding, forming energy waves. These powerful waves propagated through the air, the ground, and other mediums.

But once the smoke cleared Castform wasnt as battered as Terrance had anticipated. Instead, Castform, glowing all over, emerged unscathed under these waves

The glow surrounding Castform was unexpectedly Protect move.

However, Terrance could tell that Castform wasnt happy

Clearly, the sudden change in attack pattern of the Shadow Balls nearly caught it off guard which left Castform quite unhappy.

Rain

It started pouring again.

But this time

Boom!

A deafening thunderclap rang out, and a dense mass of dark clouds instantly covered the area. Within the clouds, lightning serpents roamed freely, and it would be more appropriate to call it a thundercloud instead of dark clouds now.

Rumble!

Lightning struck, and the deafening sound jolted Terrance back to reality. Immediately afterward, large raindrops pelted down with a crackling noise. This rain, compared to the earlier downpour, was louder and more shocking than before.

If the previous rain could be described as a drizzle, then this was a deluge.

Oh no!

Terrance furrowed his brows; this commotion seemed a bit too big.

If it attracted the attention of the personnel patrolling the edge of the Safari Zone, things would turn ugly.

What he was doing now was already breaking the rules; if caught in the act, hed surely be expelled.

No, I cant stay here any longer. I need to hurry up.

The rain intensified, and Terrance could sensethat the power of Castforms Water Type move would increase even more!

The oppressive feeling was further intensified by the lightning above.

This Castform seems to have learned Electric-type moves as well. Is it Thunder?

Thunder on a rainy day was a formidable move, even Terrances expression turned serious.this Rain Dance was too bizarre.

Even for a Pokmon like Castform, capable of controlling the weather with its ability the move being executed shouldnt be this exaggerated.

There must be some reason behind this but for now, Terrance couldnt figure it out.

As the rain poured down, Castform underwent another transformation. Terrance got drenched in the rain.. feeling worse than usual.

Mismagius, lets end this quickly, Phantom Force!

Following Terrances command, Mismagius vanished into the void, disappearing from Castforms sight.

Castformmm~~~

Seeing this, Castforms gaze turned fierce, scanning its surroundings It was an odd feeling, seeing an adorable Pokmon with such a ferocious expression.

Boom!!

Unable to find any trace of Mismagius, Castform began attacking randomly as lightning bolts struck from the sky.

The lightning flashed erratically, one bolt after another, illuminating the thunderclouds with a terrifying light. The thunder sounded like explosions, rumbling loudly, flashing with astonishing brightness. f(r)ee

Even Terrance became cautious, fearing the lightning might strike him.

Uh oh the commotion on this hill seems too big, luckily were in the center of the Safari Zone

Raindrops fell on the ground, splashing up sprays of water, accompanied by the rumbling thunder, creating a stifling atmosphere.

If one didnt know who was causing this commotion they would never imagine it could be a Castform.

Castform knew moves like Rain Dance, Hydro Pump, and Thunder, but it was unimaginable that such a small body could manipulate such powerful weather.

Why what could be the reason

Even for Castform it shouldnt have such mastery over weather control. If Castform could achieve this levelit would have become a powerful Pokmon sought after by everyone, like Tyranitar or Metagross.

However, while the thunder was terrifying, its attacks were also random. In its stealthy state, Mismagius didnt care at all, effortlessly dodging each lightning strike.

Seeing this, Castform seemed even angrier, and the lightning around it became more concentrated.

Mismagiusss~~~

Finally, when it was near Castform, a bolt of lightning struck Mismagius directly, causing it to writhe in pain as its body became visible.

One bolt, then another, then a third followed by arcs of lightning grazing past Mismagius, elicited painful cries from it.

However, despite watching Mismagius being struck and its injuries worsening, Terrance didnt show any signs of worry.

Mismagius understood Terrances command, exposing a vulnerability, deliberately letting itself be hit by Thunder

Waiting for an opportunity to share the pain!

Ahhh~~~

Around Mismagius and Castform, a mysterious bridge formed, constructed by enigmatic energy, directly linking the conditions of Castform and Mismagius.

This move had significant limitations, primarily in distance and the enemys vigilance. Escaping it was also relatively easy if one wanted.

Overall, it was a difficult move to successfully execute.

However, if its the first time its being used, taking advantage of Castforms unfamiliarity with it, and the fact that Mismagius was currently under attack, no matter how Castform thinks, it wouldnt expect that, under these circumstances, Mismagius could still focus and execute its move

Under the thunder strikes, Mismagius endured the pain while calculating its stamina, then!

Under the influence of the mysterious waves, Castform, with nearly intact stamina, and Mismagius, struck by several lightning bolts their stamina mergedand then got evenly distributed!!

In just an instant, Castform fell into a state of mental fatigue, its stamina declining, consciousness growing faint. It was precisely at this moment that the red beads on Mismagius began to flicker with an eerie lightillusion successfully executed!

Castform is very vigilant. When Mismagius first used an illusion on Castform as a test, although it did not use its full strength, among many Pokmon, only this special Castform could subconsciously snap out of it.

Now, it was a direct attack. Even if Mismagius used a more sophisticated and powerful illusion, Castform was likely to be on guard. So, without taking some measuresits unlikely to be effective given Castforms vigilance and awareness.

So, weakening Castform, then swiftly winning with Mismagius illusion, was one way.

As for the equal distribution of stamina, Terrance didnt believe that a wild Pokmon could compare to a Mismagius trained in relevant aspects

Resistance, enduranceTerrance always valued these factors that play a decisive role in battle.

Being hit by the same powerful move or being in the same weakened state, Terrance was confident that his Pokmon could handle it well.

And indeed, while both were in a state of low stamina, Castform had already begun to weaken, appearing listless and mentally dazed, but Mismagius, on the other hand, still remained remarkably lucid able to deliver a powerful blow with its remaining strength.

The commotion caused by Castform was too big, forcing Terrance to resort to extreme measures to swiftly end the battle. While Terrance was confident that Mismagius could still have won in prolonged combat, but this methodundoubtedly was quicker.

This time, Castform fell directly into the trap, entering the illusion without realizing it, only seeing the scene of Mismagius being defeated by itself, and Terrance fleeing in defeat

Little did it know a Shadow Ball had silently descended upon its head while it was completely unguarded.

Its over! Terrance took a deep breath. With this Shadow Ball, Castform completely exhausted its stamina to circulate energy, but it remained to be seen whether this battle could make it wholeheartedly acknowledge defeat

But compared to that, what Terrance wanted to know more waswhat was the reason behind this Castforms uniqueness!
