Chapter 387 Evolution, Electrifying Monster!
Electabuzz weakly raised its hand to cheer Milton on.
Hopefully, Milnerton's trip will allow him to regain his footing.
Kommo-o, Sirfetch'd, Blaziken, Goodra, Eevee, and Bellatrix all cheered loudly for Milton.
As for Gallade, it simply used Healing Pulse to refuel Milton's motorcycle.
The poisonous toad didn't speak, but simply kept its gaze fixed on the scene.
Dressed in bear and Gengar costumes, they swayed and danced to cheer Milton on.
Millerton felt empowered by everyone's blessings.
It charged straight into the thunderclouds, activating its hadron engine to absorb the surrounding lightning.
Zapdos's gaze sharpened instantly. If he couldn't handle Garchomp, how could he not handle Milerton?
Moreover, Milton was also competing with him for lightning, which was far more serious than Garchomp's actions.
Zapdos unleashed a burst of electricity, using Mad Volt to collide head-on with Milton.
In their very first encounter, Millerton was immediately at a disadvantage.
The distance was too great, so Li Shuwen was unable to amplify Milton using waveguide power.
It can only play a supporting role, directing Millerton to make the most appropriate response.
Milton was driven back, and Zapdos immediately launched a full-scale attack.
Guided by Li Shuwen, Millerton swung its tail to avoid the attack.
After accumulating power, it launched another lightning-fast attack from the side and above.
The intense burst of electricity didn't knock Zapdos back very far.
Instead, Zapdos unleashed a burst of lightning, firing a ball of glowing green electromagnetic cannon.
The basketball-sized electromagnetic cannon directly suppressed Millerton as he flew out of the thundercloud.
Millerton struggled to absorb the massive amount of pure electric current contained within the electromagnetic railgun.
Zapdos, already imbued with lightning, channeled all the power of the Electromagnetic Cannon into Milton's body, then swung it at the ground as it approached.
boom!
Millerton crashed to the ground, kicking up a violent cloud of dust.
Gallade quickly stepped forward, its twin blades unleashing dazzling purple psychic blades.
The intention was to stop Zapdos from continuing to use Thunder to attack Milton.
Zapdos flapped its wings to dodge, then whipped up a gust of wind that transformed into countless wind blades that rained down on the ground.
Gallade quickly swung its twin blades, shattering the wind blades that were aimed at it.
Numerous wind blades pounded the earth, cutting open long, narrow pits, each half a meter long.
The Kommo-o-Tai acted as the firefighter, rushing over again, picking up Milerton, and quickly running back to Li Shuwen's side.
Although Milner lost even faster this time, he gained more than he did the first time.
Zapdos was badly beaten by Garchomp, and the electricity that had been accumulating in its body was dissipated.
The released electricity was even more intense.
However, this power does not belong to Zapdos. It is purely Zapdos's talent that allows it to greedily absorb lightning beyond its power.
Zapdos's volatile temper is largely due to the excessive electrical charge within its body.
Zapdos has appeared quite a few times, but it's not a very good bird.
Li Shuwen remembered that there seemed to be only one Crystal Lake in the Johto region, where there was a Zapdos that could coexist peacefully with the nearby Pokémon.
Cautious of Cyndaquil's Garchomp, Zapdos did not give chase.
But Electabuzz and Milton are obviously not going to be able to absorb natural lightning.
Li Shuwen said, "Let's go out first, and then we'll treat Millerton."
Seeing Garchomp retreat from the thunderstorm, Zapdos let out a cheerful cry, thinking that Garchomp was afraid of its power in the thundercloud.
It absorbs electricity even more frantically.
Fortunately, Garchomp helped him clear away the accumulated electricity in his body, allowing Zapdos to absorb more power and gain even stronger attack power.
At 5 p.m., they returned to their camp outside the thunderstorm zone.
It wasn't until 10 p.m., a full five hours, that Milton and Electabuzz fully digested the lightning they had absorbed from Zapdos.
Detecting the changes in Electabuzz's data, Cynthia raised an eyebrow. "This Zapdos is actually more useful than Thunderstorm Zone!"
"If you want to use Zapdos to force Electabuzz to evolve, you might actually succeed if you try a few more times."
Li Shuwen shook his head. "In the days to come, I don't plan to let Electabuzz enter the thunderstorm zone to fight Zapdos anymore."
"When the thunderstorm dissipates, that's when Zapdos will leave; when the thunderstorm is almost over, that's when Electabuzz will challenge Zapdos again!"
Cynthia immediately understood what Li Shuwen wanted to do.
Gathering strength!
As the saying goes, one should strike while the iron is hot, but the momentum will wane on the second attempt and be exhausted on the third.
Today is the first time Electabuzz has faced Zapdos's lightning attack, so it actually has the best chance.
However, Electabuzz was not strong enough and failed to catch it.
Continuous challenges will not only fail, but will also deplete Electabuzz's morale.
Li Shuwen wanted to make Electabuzz accumulate enough desire in the time to come.
Li Shuwen summoned Milton and Electabuzz to his side.
"Millardon, from now on, you'll train Electabuzz for me. Now, use Thunder on Electabuzz."
Millerton nodded, took to the sky, activated the hadron engine, and his body glowed with a blue-silver light.
Blue-silver lightning struck, hitting Electabuzz's tentacles squarely.
Electabuzz's eyes widened in surprise; it hadn't expected Milerton to improve so much after only two battles with Zapdos.
After an hour of practice, Li Shuwen gave them both massages to relieve their fatigue.
Li Shuwen explained his plan, and Electabuzz looked utterly bewildered.
"Compare! Compare?"
Li Shuwen calmed the Electric Beast down, then explained, "When opportunities fall like raindrops, it's hard to know which one to grab."
"But if there is only one raindrop, people will do everything they can to catch it, no matter the cost."
"Sometimes, more opportunities aren't necessarily better."
Li Shuwen wanted to fight a desperate, all-or-nothing battle.
Milton challenges Zapdos twice a day, and each time he shares some of the absorbed lightning with Electabuzz.
Such days have passed for quite some time.
Li Shuwen was also fortunate enough to conduct an electrical property simulation and received an A-level rating, increasing his electrical property affinity by 0.5.
It may play a crucial role in the evolution of Electabuzz.
Sometimes, it's just a matter of being just a little bit off.
That day, the thunder and lightning in the sky were noticeably quieter.
After breakfast, Li Shuwen stared intently at the Electabuzz.
"It's time!"
Approaching the center of the thunderstorm, Li Shuwen shouted at the thunderclouds, "Zetzart, we're here to challenge you!"
Milton harasses him twice a day, which has made Zapdos extremely irritable.
Electabuzz dares to come back?!
Without a word, Zapdos swooped down and unleashed its lightning.
The power of the lightning has increased significantly, but Zapdos's lightning release has become much slower.
The Electabuzz neither dodged nor evaded, but simply spun its arms wildly.
The golden, dazzling thunder dragon roared as it tore apart Electabuzz's body.
Electabuzz let out a loud shout, and the electrical auxiliary device on its arm began to smoke. With a click, the automatic protection mechanism designed by Dr. Yamanashi was activated.
The device was flung away and exploded upon hitting the ground.
In an instant, the lightning that Electabuzz had to endure became even more intense.
Li Shuwen clenched his fist and shouted, "Electric Beast, hang in there!"
Electabuzz screamed in pain, his will driving his body to resist collapsing.
He cannot let down Li Shuwen and everyone's expectations of him!
"Rabbit!"
With a roar, Electabuzz's body suddenly lit up with a dazzling light.
Li Shuwen excitedly pumped his fist, "Electric Beast, you did it!"
