Chapter 600: The Past of Scarred Tanuki? Staraptor Attacks! A Counterattack from the Brink! Tanuki Evolves into Big-tailed Tanuki!
The dam repair work is proceeding at a rapid pace.
Under the supervision of the "ace supervisor" Thousand Faces Hermit, the demon Twin Blade Maru could only suppress its cunning and laziness and obediently become a laborer.
With its two chipped shell blades, it clumsily cut through trees and moved stones, its face etched with reluctance.
On the other side...
Those kind and gentle raccoon dogs not only did not stand idly by, but also took the initiative to join the restoration efforts.
They even separated some of the "tanuki" to "help" the Twin Blade Maru.
Of course, it was ostensibly to help, but in reality, it was to monitor.
[Haha, Twinblade Maru is behaving himself now.]
Surrounded by the giant raccoon, even if it wanted to cause trouble, it wouldn't find an opportunity!
[Tanuki: Little bro, what's wrong with you? Why are you working so slowly?]
Among this group of busy "construction workers," one figure stands out.
It was the same scarred raccoon that Ye Yinchuan had just tamed.
It also participated in the dam repair, working swiftly and with great enthusiasm.
But its "boss" demeanor has vanished without a trace.
In front of those large, experienced raccoon dogs, it behaved with utmost respect, just like a reserved junior who was seeing the world for the first time with his elders.
If it sees a raccoon carrying an overly heavy tree trunk, it will immediately run over and use its small body to help support it.
If it sees a little raccoon accidentally slip and fall, it will immediately use its flat tail to catch the other person.
Its cautious yet eager-to-perform demeanor, combined with the menacing scar on its face, created a striking and endearing contrast.
[Hilarious! Even our tough guy, Tanuki, has to respectfully call someone a senior "Big Brother."]
This Scarface Tanuki and that Double-Edged Maru are completely opposite!
[One is cold on the outside but warm on the inside; the other is a complete bad egg!]
"That's right." Ye Yinchuan looked at the scene and explained with a smile, "The Scarred Leopard's 'evil' is just a disguise, a survival strategy to protect itself in the harsh wild."
His gaze fell on the hideous scar. His ability to "listen to the heart" allowed him to see a hidden past.
"The scar on its face was not left from fighting."
"It was during an attack by a Muckea that it was scratched by the talons while protecting a smaller companion."
"Unfortunately, in the end, it still couldn't save its companion—"
Ye Yinchuan's voice carried a hint of regret.
[Dude, you found out already? You just made up the backstory with your mouth, huh?]
[Upstairs, don't you know that Ho-Oh's messenger can communicate with Pokémon and even read their thoughts?]
[Waaaaah, Scarface, my dear Tanuki brother! It's so heartbreaking!]
[Staraptor? Is that one of those fierce bird Pokémon? Damn it!]
The audience's impression of Scarface has been completely reversed.
This tough guy, who appears fierce but is incredibly gentle at heart, instantly won everyone's hearts.
Just then, Ye Yinchuan felt the atmosphere was a bit heavy, and in order to let the two little ones in the amusement park get some fresh air, he had an idea.
Two small portals of light opened beside him.
[Are they not even going to act anymore? Using spatial abilities like this?]
[When others fight, they throw the ball around; when streamers gang up, they don't even need the ball!]
[I knew he had some Pokémon. How come he was at Snorlax Park this morning and now he's with him this afternoon?]
"Tian~"
"Drip-drop~"
Two adorable little creatures flew out joyfully from the portal.
These are Diancie and Deoxys in their baby forms.
[It hasn't been that long since I last saw them! They seem to have grown a little bit?]
[So cute! I want to pet it!]
The moment the two little ones appeared, they instantly attracted everyone's attention.
They watched the bustling scene before them with curiosity, especially the round, large-toothed raccoons, which they found very novel.
however.
When the demon Shuangrenmaru, who was being forced to work, saw these two seemingly harmless, pink and cute little creatures, a glint of ill intent flashed in its eyes.
The resentment of being bullied by the strong made it subconsciously want to find an even weaker being to vent its anger on.
It quietly picked up a small twig and, taking advantage of the fact that the surrounding big-toothed raccoons weren't paying attention, suddenly threw it at Diancie, who was curiously looking at a small butterfly!
Just as the branch was about to hit Diancie!
Buzz!
An invisible barrier of mental energy appeared out of thin air, firmly blocking the tree branch in mid-air.
It's Deoxys!
Its tiny body instantly appeared in front of Diancie, and the pink diamond core on its chest shone brightly!
An overwhelming and suffocating mental pressure, like a tidal wave, swept towards the double-edged weapon!
"Tick-tock!!" (Don't bully her!)
Deoxys emitted a warning electronic voice, his large eyes filled with a cold...
An undeniable rage!
It is protecting its fellow citizens!
At least in Deoxys's eyes, Diancie was like its own sister.
The demonic twin blade was so frightened by this terrifying psychic power that it froze, and the seashell blade in its hand fell into the water with a "clatter".
Its body trembled uncontrollably, and its eyes were filled with fear.
I never expected this seemingly young guy to be so terrifying!
[Such a handsome way of protecting his wife—no, wait, his sister? That doesn't seem right either?]
[This double-edged sword is unpredictable; it starts acting up as soon as you let it slip by. Can the streamer handle it?]
Diancie didn't seem to have realized what was happening yet. It just tilted its little head, looked at Deoxys blocking its way, then looked at the branch floating in the air, and uttered a soft "Dian?"
Her innocent and naive appearance contrasted sharply with Deoxys's fierce protectiveness.
The dam was repaired very quickly.
With the combined efforts of all the "tanuki", the breach was sealed again, even more securely than before.
Ye Yinchuan, with his Pokémon, bid farewell to the hardworking "engineers" and continued his exploration deeper into the forest.
Deoxys remained close by Diancie's side, his eyes fixed on her with vigilance.
They kept an eye on the demon, Dual Blade Maru, which was following at the very back of the group, fearing that it might cause some more trouble.
Ye Yinchuan watched this scene and chuckled to himself.
"Little guy, you're still too nervous."
He muttered to himself.
In fact, given Diancie's defensive capabilities as the "Diamond Princess," let alone a small twig, even if Double-Edged Maru used all his strength, he might not be able to harm her in the slightest.
After witnessing Deoxys's terrifying power, the demonic twin blades became completely docile.
It kept its head down, following at the back of the group, not daring to even breathe loudly.
It is by nature to bully the weak and fear the strong.
Just then, the newly tamed scarred raccoon walked up to Twinblade with an arrogant gait.
It stood upright and patted Shuangrenmaru's shoulder with its short front paws.
Then, it pointed to Diancie and Deoxys in front of it and called out a few times.
"Tanuki! Tanuki!" (Bro, you're obviously not as perceptive as me. Those two guys have a completely different style from us. You'd better behave yourself! Besides, we're both new here. But don't worry, I've got your back!)
His older brother-like manner of lecturing his younger brother once again made the viewers in the live stream burst into laughter.
[Haha, Scarface is so human-like!]
[What are you saying in gibberish? Phoenix King's messenger, don't just stand there, translate!]
[He's probably just bragging!]
however.
In this joyful and peaceful atmosphere.
An accident occurred.
Gaaaaaaah!
A loud and fierce eagle cry came from high above!
Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow swooped down at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye!
That was an extremely robust raptor Pokémon!
Its entire body is covered with black and gray feathers, and the crest on its head is like a flamboyant crown. A tuft of bright red feathers is like the finishing touch, full of aggression.
A pair of sharp, knife-like yellow eyes were fixed on the prey on the ground!
Its target is none other than the Demon Twin Blade!
"It's a Muke Eagle!" Ye Yinchuan's eyes narrowed.
Moreover, it was the Hawk that left the scar on Scarface that Ye Yinchuan obtained this information from Scarface's inner thoughts.
That Starhawk is incredibly fast!
Almost instantly, it rushed in front of Twinblade Maru, its claws gleaming with a cold metallic light, and viciously clawed at Twinblade Maru's head!
Dual Blade Maru was shocked, never expecting to become the target of an attack!
At this critical moment!
A brown figure stood in its way without hesitation!
It's Scarface the Tanuki!
It spread its arms, trying to use its not-so-tall body to shield this "villain" who had just been bullying its own people from the fatal blow!
however.
To everyone's surprise,
The panicked Twinblade, upon seeing the Scarred Tanuki standing in front of it, not only showed no gratitude, but instead did something that chilled everyone to the bone!
Suddenly, it stretched out its foot and shoved the scarred raccoon hard from behind!
It actually wants to use the scarred raccoon as its shield!
"raccoon?!"
Scarface was completely unprepared to be betrayed by his "teammate." He stumbled and was met head-on by Starhawk's sharp claws!
puff!
The sharp claws were deeply embedded in the scarred raccoon's flesh!
With a triumphant cry, the Mk Eagle flapped its wings and, carrying the Scarred Raccoon it had captured, soared into the sky, disappearing into the dense canopy in the blink of an eye!
The whole process happened in the blink of an eye!
By the time everyone realized what was happening, everything had already been settled.
Only the escaped demon, Shuangrenmaru, remained standing there, its face a mixture of bewilderment, relief, and smugness.
The live stream room fell into a deathly silence.
All the viewers were completely enraged by Shuangrenmaru's utterly shameless behavior!
Blanch it!!!
【I'll kill you! Twin Blades!!!】
【Scarface Tanuki — My Scarface Tanuki —】
[Host! This guy betrayed his teammates; he must not be allowed to live!]
Ye Yinchuan's face also darkened.
He glanced at the Twin Blade Maru, who was still gloating over its narrow escape, and a hint of annoyance rose in his eyes.
He slowly raised his hand, and a Poké Ball appeared in his palm.
"Blazing Roaring Tiger"
His voice was calm, yet it was filled with anger.
"Give it to me, and teach it properly what morality is."
"
"roar-!!!"
With a roar filled with oppressive power, the majestic fire-type king appeared in front of Twinblade Maru, its eyes burning with rage locked onto it!
The smile on Shuangrenmaru's face froze instantly.
The next moment, Twin Blade Maru was lifted up by Blazing Roaring Tiger like a little chick.
Ye Yinchuan, however, didn't even glance at it again.
The Blazing Roaring Tiger will find out everything and then make its decision.
Ye Yinchuan summoned another Pokémon.
"Motorized Lizard! Chase after it!"
"Crack!"
With a roar like a motorcycle engine, Ye Yinchuan straddled the back of the Motor Lizard, transforming into a blur as he sped off in the direction where the Mk Eagle had disappeared!
high in the air.
Scarface struggled desperately under the sharp claws of the Starhawk.
The excruciating pain from the claws and the howling winds high above filled it with utter despair.
-
In a daze, that familiar scene reappeared in its mind.
It's the same Muke, with the same pair of sharp claws.
However, that time, it was its companion that it failed to protect that was captured.
This time, it was its turn.
"No----"
"I don't want to—"
"I won't just sit here and wait to die!"
An unprecedented sense of resentment and anger suddenly erupted from the depths of its heart!
It remembered its weak companion who had been captured.
I was reminded of the helplessness I once felt.
It also reminded me of myself, who had secretly vowed that if I ever encountered this Starhawk again, I would avenge my companion!
"I—can still fight!"
"I—want to become stronger!"
"raccoon!!!!!"
Just then!
Ye Yinchuan's voice, like a thunderclap, came from below.
"Scarred Tanuki!"
"Now!"
Believe in yourself! You can definitely save yourself!
Ye Yinchuan's voice seemed to possess some kind of magic, igniting the last spark of hope in Scarface's heart.
Buzz!
A dazzling light of evolution erupted from Scarface the Tanuki!
Within the light, its body was rapidly expanding and changing!
Its originally short body has become more rounded and robust!
The two front teeth in the front of the mouth became even bigger and sharper!
"roar!!!"
A powerful roar!
Scarface completed its evolution in a desperate situation!
—Big-tailed raccoon!
The power of evolution allowed it to break free from the Starhawk's restraints in an instant!
In mid-air, it nimbly flipped over and landed steadily on the back of the motorcycle lizard.
"Well done!" Ye Yinchuan exclaimed.
The Muck Eagle, seeing its prey fly away, let out an angry cry and swooped down again!
"Now!" Ye Yinchuan shouted, "With your angry teeth!"
"roar!"
The newly born Scarface raccoon—now in the form of Bigtail raccoon.
Its eyes burned with the flames of revenge as it opened its blood-red maw to meet the swooping Mk Eagle.
Those two enormous front teeth shone with a blinding white light.
Click!
A crisp, teeth-grinding sound!
The raccoon's angry incisors clashed violently with the Starhawk's sharp claws!
This time, it was the Starhawk that was defeated!
It let out a painful cry, retracted its nearly bitten-off claws, and fled in a sorry state toward the sky.
Scarface did it!
[Awesome! Scarface is a real man!]
[Haha, that's so cool! He's practically a giant raccoon dog!]
[Can this be considered resolving an inner conflict?]
After Ye Yinchuan provided further explanation regarding the cause and effect of Scarface and Starhawk, the audience gave him a thumbs up.
Evolving from desperation to fight back and avenge his great grudge, Scarface is practically the protagonist of a wish-fulfillment novel!
Soon, Ye Yinchuan returned to the original spot with the successfully evolved Big-tailed Tanuki.
At this moment, the demonic twin blade was surrounded by the blazing roaring tiger, the thousand-faced evader, and the two small divine beasts.
It was injured and lay sprawled on the ground, its eyes filled with fear and despair.
Clearly, the moment it betrayed its teammates, it was already seen as a common enemy by all the Pokémon.
Upon seeing Ye Yinchuan and the big-tailed raccoon return, it was even more frightened, burying its head deep into the soil, not daring to look into the big-tailed raccoon's eyes.
It knew it was in the wrong.
Hit it! Big-tailed raccoon! Hit it hard!
It's time for reckoning! This kind of Pokémon scum who betrays their teammates doesn't deserve forgiveness!
Let it know what the wickedness of society is!
The audience was excited.
however.
The evolved Tanuki looked at the trembling Twinblade, but there was no trace of vengeance in its eyes.
It simply walked forward slowly.
It stretched out its round paws and gently patted the back of the Twin Blade Maru.
"Roar—" (Get up, stop lying down.)
Its voice is honest and kind, yet full of tolerance.
It's as if to say that what happened before is already in the past.
Shuangrenmaru slowly raised his head, looking incredulously at the "former teammate" he had personally pushed into danger.
There was no anger or resentment in its eyes.
Only one thing made it feel unfamiliar—warmth.
An unprecedented feeling, called "guilt" and "gratitude," quietly took root in its heart.
For the first time, it realized what it felt like to be forgiven.
It turns out that there can be such loyalty among companions.
Ye Yinchuan nodded with satisfaction as he watched this scene.
"Dark-type Pokémon may have a bad personality, but once they accept you, their loyalty and sense of righteousness far surpass that of ordinary Pokémon."
He knew that the magnanimity of the Great Tanuki had planted a seed called "trust" in the heart of the Twin Blade Maru.
however.
Just then.
quack-!
Several angry cries of eagles echoed from the sky once more!
The defeated Mk Eagle actually called for its companions!
Four or five M'K eagles circled overhead, their sharp eyes filled with vengeful fury.
They're going to get their revenge!
"You've come at the perfect time." Ye Yinchuan's lips curled into a smile.
This is the best opportunity to test whether Shuangrenwan has truly repented.
"Roar!" The big-tailed raccoon roared and fearlessly stood at the front of the group.
And this time...
After hesitating for a moment, the double-edged pill actually stood up as well!
It picked up its shell blade and silently stood beside the big-tailed raccoon!
It wants to fight side by side!
"Yaku." The figure of the Thousand-Faced Beast appeared on their flanks like a ghost, ready to flank them at any moment.
Battle is imminent!
A Starhawk launched the first attack, its body transforming into a white lightning bolt as it charged straight at the Big Tail Beaver!
—The brave bird attacks fiercely!
At this critical moment!
The figure of the Twin Blade Maru suddenly darted forward!
It crossed its two shell blades in front of its chest and forcefully blocked the big-tailed raccoon's path!
boom!
The enormous impact sent it flying!
However, it also successfully blocked this fatal blow for the raccoon!
"roar!"
The piranha seized the opportunity and unleashed a "Destruction Beam" at another Starhawk!
The battle instantly intensified!
This time, Twinblade Maru did not back down, nor did he betray them!
With its not-so-powerful body, it repeatedly created opportunities for the raccoon to attack!
It proved its transformation through its actions!
[Double-edged Maru! It—it actually took the hit on its own?!]
[A prodigal son's return is more precious than gold! Well done, Double-Edged Maru!]
Whether it's people or Pokémon, don't trust these kinds of people too easily. Once unfaithful, always untrustworthy!
With the perfect teamwork of the three Pokémon, Staraptor's attack was quickly broken.
They fled in a sorry state once again.
The battle is over.
Dual Blade Maru dragged his tired and battered body to the Great Tanuki, scratching his head somewhat embarrassedly.
The big-tailed raccoon grinned, revealing a憨厚 (honest and simple) smile, and patted its shoulder heavily.
All past grievances vanished in that moment.
"Well done."
Ye Yinchuan walked up to Shuangrenwan, took out a precious tree fruit from his backpack that exuded a strong life force, and handed it to it.
"This is a reward you deserve, and this is your first lesson in trusting your companions."
Shuangrenmaru looked at the tree fruit, then at Ye Yinchuan, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.
Without hesitation, it swallowed the tree fruit in one gulp.
A tremendous amount of energy instantly spread throughout its body.
Its injuries are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
however.
Right now!
Buzz—! !!! !
Without warning, the light of evolution burst forth from its body.
It's here! It's here! It's here!
[It's evolving so quickly? What kind of magic potion are you feeding it, streamer?]
What form will it take? How will it differ from a regular Greatsword Oni?
Everyone's heart was in their throat at that moment.
They held their breath, staring intently at the center of the light.
We await that new form that is about to be revealed—
Greatsword Demon's special form!
