Chapter 318: The Life Orb

The four Persian trainers were separated and detained, and all of their Pokémon and items were confiscated. Two trainers from the Ground-type Gym were temporarily assigned to guard part of them.
Caught plural enemies, can't keep them all together, and can't keep their Pokémon too close together either.
Pokémon are not silly, although most of them can't speak or communicate with telepathy, many Pokémon have intelligence equal to or even surpassing ordinary humans. If they are imprisoned together, it is likely that a Pokémon will organize their comrades and start a collective riot.
You can't expect those steel bars and concrete to withstand Pokémon attacks, right?
You can only transfer them in batches, sporadically, to specialized facilities for detaining Pokémon and trainers. Of course, this process may seem cumbersome, but each person's task is very simple when it comes to execution.
The flying troops stationed at the training camp only need to temporarily manage these Persian trainers, and the rest will be left to the nearest ground-type gym to receive.
"Why did they enter illegally? There shouldn't be many secrets worth exploring in this desert."
"After hearing the news, Lin Hui, the King of the Skies, was surprised but not too surprised."
What puzzled him the most was not Yan Pengyu's strength, but the motives of these Persian trainers.
If it is for the purpose of gathering intelligence on the nearby military zone, it is not worth risking so much by sending four experienced trainers to cross the desert to execute such a dangerous mission.
Moreover, their tracks have never been found near the military zone.
"They refused to speak, I even buried them in the sand and they still wouldn't talk."
Yan Pengyu was bored and lying on the table. It was too hot in the desert, and the air conditioning in this training camp didn't seem to work well.
"Speaking of which... What was the situation when you buried yourself in the sand? What were you thinking at that time? Please don't do that again, even if you leave the person's head exposed, there is still a possibility of suffocation."
Lin Hui, the Heavenly King, felt a bit overwhelmed when he thought about the situation when Yan Pengyu was capturing the Persian trainer.
Acts of abuse and killing of captives are prohibited in Huaxia, even the Heavenly King cannot violate this. Even if encountering someone very dislikeable, one must deliver a fatal blow only after the other party speaks surrender and loses the ability to resist in order to avoid public criticism.
Yan Pengyu's behavior this time... is a little bit excessive.
"Don't worry, I just scared them a bit. I gave them some room to move, not too tightly suppressed."
Yan Pengyu naturally understands the reason behind it.
"As long as you have a clear idea in your mind,"
Lin Hui Tianwang nodded, this time he could still use the excuse of "emergency measures taken by underage novice trainers to defeat intruders in unexpected situations". Even if the Persian king personally intervened, he would not have the face to continue questioning.
However, he is more worried that if Yan Pengyu becomes a senior trainer, it will be very troublesome to make such a move.
However, it seems that he worried too much.
Although Yan Pengyu has a somewhat nasty personality, it is mostly within the realm of "pranks" and does not really involve bottom line issues.
"Report to the Heavenly King, when we counted their carried props, we found..."
The soldier at the door saluted and was about to speak, but suddenly stopped.
There are confidentiality regulations in place, and some things cannot be heard by individuals with insufficient security clearance.
"It's alright, his security clearance is the same as that of a regular curator."
Lin Hui, the Sky King, waved his hand and revealed something that even Yan Pengyu did not know.
Even the trained soldiers couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
"We have found a life orb."
"What!"
King Lin Hui suddenly stood up, leaving Yan Pengyu puzzled.
Life orb, Yan Pengyu knew about this item, it was often used in PvP battles in the Pokémon game in his previous life.
However, Yan Pengyu is not a battling player, so this item is basically collecting dust in his backpack...
The effect is that the Pokémon carrying this item will increase the power of its moves, but it will also lose HP every time its attacking move hits the opponent.
Is this prop valuable in the real-world?
Yan Pengyu recalled the list he received when exchanging the learning tool for the God Bird Strong Strike technique, and the name of the life bead was indeed not included.
So, even a move at the level of Divine Bird Strike is not enough to obtain a Life Orb?
"This is the sixth Life Orb in the world. Just the quantity alone should let you know how precious it is."
Lin Huitian King saw Yan Pengyu's confusion and said lightly.
The sixth bead...
Yan Pengyu did not expect the Life Beads to be so rare.
However, upon further thought, it does seem to be the case.
Most of the props on the market now have already found artificial production methods. Even so, they are still very valuable and most trainers cannot obtain them.
假如生命宝珠暂时无法人工制作，那就只能在野外捡了......
根据这个世界的宝可梦和道具以及各种矿物，是随着第一次宝可梦降临时的时空裂缝一起出现在地球上的猜想，可以推论出这些道具都来自“宝可梦世界”。
So only some things in the wild world will appear on Earth.
No wonder the "starter Pokémon" that are collectively bred in Pokémon world's laboratories are so precious on Earth...
The scarcity of quantity can itself be linked to value, not to mention Pokémon items with practical effects.
But Yanpengyu didn't expect that there are only six of them in the world.
Is it really worth it to embark on an adventure with four senior trainers just for a carrying prop?
"The Life Orb is not an ordinary carrying prop, but a tool that enhances the power of moves through the Pokémon's own vitality. Inspired by it, many trainers have developed techniques that greatly damage the Pokémon's own life force, which you should have already seen."
Damage the Pokemon itself's HP...
Yanpeng suddenly remembered the "Burn Out" move that Han Qiu used back then.
Originally, this move wouldn't cause any harm to the Pokemon itself, it would just consume all fire energy in one breath, temporarily losing the fire attribute.
However, the unique usage displayed by Han Qiu ignites the Pokémon itself, enhancing the power of other moves.
This is a secret technique developed by the Fire-type champion...
Thinking of this, Yan Pengyu seems to understand something.
The former fire-type overlord relied on the life pearl to develop the exhausting move into a move similar to "self-detonation".
Even in terms of power, it is even stronger than directly using Self-Destruct.
And the Overheat move that the player's Arcanine accidentally used before also has a similar effect.
"This kind of life-consuming move should not be used unless absolutely necessary."
"Lin Huitian seems to have figured out what Yan Pengyu is thinking, and solemnly reminded him."
"'Self-Destruct' and similar moves simply cause damage to Pokémon through explosions. The usage of these moves, however, directly converts life into power, resulting in irrevocable consequences if one becomes immersed in them. They may even take away the trainer's life as well."
Gu Kan; In the past, during the period when trainers were growing wild, the Life Orb item changed hands several times.
If one's strength is insufficient or talent is lacking, it's not a problem as they can simply rely on the effects of the Life Orb to use it. Pokémon can just eat a few more meals to replenish.
Once a life-draining move is used without restraint, one will fall into an irrecoverable state.
Many trainers have lost their lives as a result.
Even the Fire-type Champion who proposed the rules for using Life Orb, eventually burned himself to ashes along with his own life.
Lin Hui Tianwang knows how powerful moves are an irresistible attraction for trainers. This is why he applied to the current Fire-type Tianwang to teach the secret technique of the "Overheat" move to Yan Pengyu.
Even if it is explicitly prohibited, Yan Pengyu's pursuit of powerful moves and curiosity will make him secretly develop overheated moves that consume vitality.
Instead of letting him guess and cause irreversible consequences, it is better to develop them safely with existing experience. As long as they are not used recklesslly, there is no problem.
"Don't worry, for me, the well-being of Pokémon is more important than victory."
Yan Pengyu put away his playful expression and nodded solemnly in agreement.
This method of using their own vitality in battle would never be used unless they were facing a life-threatening situation.
但是嘛......学会总没有什么坏处。
就算燕鹏羽不想让火箭雀学，火箭雀自己也早就跃跃欲试了。
它如今掌握了普通的“过热”招式，不会伤到自己，但使用一次后体内的能量会严重匮乏，导致招式的威力降低。不过以此为代价，这个招式的威力却十分的惊人，远不是什么“喷射火焰”能够比的。
However, it is more obsessed with the power it felt that day.
Even though its organs were charred like burnt charcoal, the powerful force still compels the Fire Finch.
Even using pure oxygen separated by the Gale Wings to enhance the power of Overheat, it still can't compare to the power I felt that day.
"Yawgoo!"
This time, Talonflame couldn't resist flying out of the Poké Ball upon hearing the conversation between Lin Hui-tian and Yan Peng-yu.
That super powerful overheating! That move that can burn the feathers of a Doduo to a crisp!
Pidgey is eager to train and develop that move.
"Didn't you hear? Don't immerse yourself in that kind of power?"
Yan Pengyu couldn't help but give a hard knock on the head of Firebird.
This kid's personality would probably be a villain in animations or novels.
He would be the type who does outrageous things in pursuit of power, and then gets crushed by the protagonist's righteous speech and strength, causing his mindset to explode like a small boss.
Thinking back to the first time I saw a Spearow at the breeding center, challenging all sorts of Pokémon and getting ganged up on before going on to challenge others...
Well, it's fitting with its personality all along.
"Eh..."
Lin Hui, the Heavenly King, let out a sigh and felt somewhat exhausted.
Having such a Pokémon with such a trainer, it's hard to say whether it's good or bad.
Why does it feel like I'm leading a team and always have to become like Yan Pengyu's nanny? Managing this and managing that...it's all things that have to be managed.
"No, after the World Championship, I must take a leave, otherwise just send me to the anti-poaching team in Africa."
The King of Linhui just wants to take a vacation and rest.
While Yan Pengyu's thoughts have already drifted to a more distant place.
It seems that I can't stop the pursuit of Rocketsparrow for this kind of move on my own.
It's dangerous, but as a trainer, I can't just suppress the desire of Pokémon blindly.
As a trainer, instead of banning powerful moves like Sky Attack, it is more important to reduce the damage to the Pokémon itself when it takes a hit.
Even the top researchers can only suggest using medicine to replenish Pokémon after they have used a move. As for exploring the essence of life, humans haven't even crossed the threshold, let alone some elusive "life force".
If it weren't for the existence of Pokémon, if it weren't for the Life Orb item, it might be difficult for humans to even describe what "life force" is.
However, Yan Pengyu does have some ideas.
And one of them is right in front of us - Moltres.
Yan Pengyu remembered that the Pokédex described Moltres as being able to "heal wounds by burning them."
It is said that the exploration of vitality in Pokémon, as well as the study of moves that consume vitality, are absolutely paramount to humans.
Perhaps with Moltres, a method to freely unleash such moves can be found for Spearow.
Another reason to win the World Championship.
"Work harder for the Firebird, compared to the Sparrow."
Yan Pengyu tapped the shell of the Sparrow Elf's Poké Ball and chuckled.
The Firebird scratched the back of its head with its wings, looking somewhat embarrassed.
While Bibi only lightly shook the Poké Ball.
In singles battles, it crushes the opponent directly.
In doubles battles, it handles both opponents by itself.
In 3v3 rotations, it prepares to take on all three.
I am invincible, you guys do as you please.
Ever since experiencing mega evolution, my confidence has completely skyrocketed, surpassing even Mega Rayquaza.
Even when facing Mega Salamence's Dragon Dance, as long as it mega evolves, it can easily win the battle.
Don't be too arrogant, self-improvement is the most important thing.
Yan Pengyu shook his head helplessly and tapped the shell of the Poké Ball gently.
Mega evolution is not patented, and it has already entered the field of vision of Chinese trainers.
The leaders and champions from all regions have mobilized all their forces to search for new Mega Stones and Key Stones.
Pidgeot can reach the Champion level with Mega Evolution in the Senior rank, so other Pokémon can also achieve the same.
Only if you already have a legendary level, then using mega evolution will truly give you an advantage.
Lin Hui, who was standing on the side, blinked slightly. Although he couldn't understand what Bi Diao and Yan Pengyu were talking about, he at least heard Yan Pengyu's voice.
How long has it been before considering the matter of the king of heaven level?
Although I vaguely expected that the title of the "youngest" king of this Pokémon will be taken away after its arrival, but it won't come so soon, right?
