Chapter 19: Anime Pokémon: Starting from Hunter x Hunter, Chapter 8

And it had to absorb blood every day.

In fact, this was the normal rule for Nen abilities.

Although not all Nen abilities had restrictions, generally speaking, the more powerful and high-potential a Nen ability was, the more restrictions it had.

The specific situation depended on individual talent.

His Nen ability was quite special; it was already beyond the level that talent could achieve.

It was likely because he was playing a Pokémon game at the time; his Nen ability was like a cheat code.

Jem held the blade, casually spinning it, which showed he was very familiar with his weapon.

Suddenly, Jem gripped the handle in reverse and charged at Luo Ge again, the sharp blade surface gleaming with a terrifying cold light.

Luo Ge’s heart sank; he knew it would be even harder to deal with the opponent now.

The previous [Poison Touch] hadn't managed to poison the opponent, so he had to keep looking for opportunities.

Although [Quick Attack] could help him dodge, it consumed a significant amount of Nen, and he wouldn't be able to use it much longer.

Fortunately, he had been keeping a trump card hidden.

Seeing Jem charging with the blade, Luo Ge used [Quick Attack] as usual, but he didn't choose to dodge.

He charged straight ahead!

Seeing that Luo Ge not only didn't dodge but dared to charge directly at him, a look of brutality flashed in Jem’s eyes.

He felt that Luo Ge was looking down on him.

The blood blade in his hand slashed rapidly, aiming straight for Luo Ge’s face, the blade edge whistling through the air.

Jem no longer cared about anything else; he just wanted to teach this audacious kid a lesson.

Seeing this heart-stopping scene, Machi and Shizuku both felt their hearts tighten.

They subconsciously took a few steps forward, wanting to help Luo Ge, even if it was just a little.

Luo Ge showed no fear, his eyes stained with a pink Nen aura, staring straight at the blade.

Psychic-type move—Confusion!

Before Jem could react to what was happening, he felt his right hand stop obeying him, veering to the side along with the blade.

It slashed right past Luo Ge’s side without causing any damage.

It missed?!

Jem widened his eyes, unable to accept this fact, and could only watch helplessly as Luo Ge swung his fist toward his abdomen.

After a brief moment of shock, a smile returned to Jem’s lips; he wasn't worried about Luo Ge’s attack at all.

With the previous experience, he knew Luo Ge’s attacks didn't pose much of a threat; he just needed to gather more Nen to defend.

Thoughts raced through Jem’s mind as he gathered as much Nen as possible in his abdomen.

Every Nen user had a total amount of Nen; once consumed, it needed to be recovered slowly.

At the same time, it could flow to various parts of the body, attacking or protecting specific areas according to the user's will.

However, the total amount was limited, so if more Nen was gathered in one place, there would be less elsewhere.

Therefore, if someone seized the opportunity to strike a weak point in the Nen defense, they could cause significant damage.

And this was Luo Ge’s second plan!

One second, Jem was still wearing a confident smile; the next, that smile stiffened on his face.

He clearly felt a dense Nen fluctuation above him, rapidly gathering and taking shape; it seemed something was about to appear.

Jem’s expression changed wildly, his smile gone, and he looked at Luo Ge in astonishment, his gloomy eyes filled with confusion.

You are also of the Materialization system?!

It had to be said that Luo Ge was indeed the strangest enemy Jem had ever encountered, difficult to fathom.

At first, he thought Luo Ge’s Nen ability was related to space, which would explain how he could carry so many things empty-handed.

After the battle, Luo Ge had displayed outrageous speed, an unknown pressure...

And now he was showing a Materialization-type ability; who knew what kind of thing he would materialize?

But he knew one thing: he was likely going to fall here today.

In an instant, Nidoran dropped from mid-air, using its sturdy legs to stomp directly onto Jem’s head.

Because the Nen on his head had been partially dispersed, Nidoran’s attack was very effective; at the very least, it perfectly achieved the effect Luo Ge wanted.

Jem felt as if his head had been struck by a large hammer; he felt dizzy, saw stars, and collapsed to the ground immediately.

The Nen on his body became unstable, and the Blood-Drinking Blade he had just materialized could no longer be maintained and dissipated.

Nidoran, the trump card Luo Ge had kept hidden, had brought him victory!

Looking coldly at Jem lying on the ground, Luo Ge had Nidoran point its Poison Horn at him to facilitate his upcoming interrogation.

Actually, if he had Nidoran use [Poison Sting] while attacking his head with the Poison Horn, the opponent would likely have died on the spot.

But Luo Ge didn't do that.

He wanted to figure out why this person had suddenly attacked him; he always felt things weren't that simple.

Luo Ge brushed the dust off his clothes, reassured the two women who had come over, and said coldly to Jem:

"Speak. Why did you come to kill me?"

"I can tell that your target from start to finish was only me; you were particularly focused on me, yet I have never met you."

Jem lay limp on the ground, his brain feeling like mush; it would take a while before he could speak, let alone use Nen.

Rolling his eyes, he glanced at Nidoran, who was on guard and ready to strike at any moment, and Jem felt a shock in his heart.

A Nen beast...

He could see it even without using [Gyo], which meant it was indeed a materialized Nen beast. ===== CHAPTER 21 =====
