Chapter 143

Near the workshop, Steven returned to the secret base with excitement, while Xiang Guangtai immediately came to the Distortion World and met the Scizor with the Pokémon, who had been swept unconscious by Giratina's tail and had not yet woken up.

Lilligant volunteered, confidently indicating that she had experience in this kind of thing!

Last time, senior Dou Jianqiao taught her CPR, which has a miraculous effect on people who have passed out, right, Trainer!

Xiang Guangtai showed an awkward but polite smile: "... Well, that's not regular CPR. Don't use it on me next time. And Dou Jianqiao, don't teach these strange ancient knowledge! But for some people who don't follow the rules, it's okay to use it."

"For example, now! Lilligant, use Close Combat on Scizor."

Lilligant's leaves condensed Fighting-type power, the leaves rolled up, accumulated powerful power, and ejected and released instantly!

Press!

"Has?!"

Scizor was originally having a terrifying nightmare, but was suddenly woken up by a Close Combat version of CPR. The painful feeling spread throughout its body. Even after evolving into Steel-type, it was still uncomfortable. It opened its eyes and then saw a group of Pokémon and a human surrounding it!

Xiang Guangtai wanted to say something, but Scizor reacted quickly. It ejected on the spot and flipped to the far side of the floating island, making a warning posture, but because its body had not fully recovered, it went weak and knelt on one knee on the ground.

"Dou Jianqiao, use Psycho Cut to seal its actions."

Xiang Guangtai said concisely. Dou Jianqiao's two eyes emitted powerful psychic fluctuations. After the repair of the Rock Mountain ruins, its control over Psycho Cut rose to a terrifying level again. Countless sharp spiritual threads shrouded Scizor, sealing all its actions!

Scizor's body suddenly stiffened.

Its state had not recovered, and it was hit by Lilligant's Close Combat again. It was in pain all over, feeling like its joints were about to break, and the energy fluctuations emitted by the Psycho Cut around it made it dare not move.

"Want to become stronger so much? After becoming the first in the forest, what do you plan to do?"

"You can't just take things for nothing. As a price, you must work for me to compensate for the losses you caused. Those Rare Candies and Energy Cubes were not prepared for you."

The Pokémon stared at Scizor, and Giratina also floated in the void, emitting powerful oppression.

"Has."

"Dou Jianqiao, what did it say?"

Through Dou Jianqiao's translation, Xiang Guangtai learned Scizor's answer.

Working for you is of course impossible, unless Xiang Guangtai can really beat it in battle!

"No, even if I beat you, you wouldn't really be willing to work for me, right!" Xiang Guangtai directly exposed Scizor's lie, making the latter break into a cold sweat.

But if I'm just stubborn, you can't do anything about me, right!

"Are you afraid?"

Xiang Guangtai suddenly said strange words. Scizor's eyes widened, a little annoyed.

Afraid? I have a "Bold" personality! Even that monster floating in the sky, I dare to punch it!

"Large bird Pokémon, and Aerodactyl." Xiang Guangtai hugged his chest, looking like he had seen through its heart:

"The essence of pursuing power is because you are afraid of encountering the predicament you once faced. Until now, you still have psychological shadows about those Pokémon, so you are obsessed with dominating the outer forest, and have never thought about entering the depths of the forest."

"How about this, I can help you become stronger, but you have to work for me. This deal is very cost-effective, right? I am an artisan with magical power. Whether you can become stronger... try it and you will know."

"Has?" Scizor was a little annoyed. It kept making low threatening sounds towards Xiang Guangtai, indicating that it was not afraid of any birds or dragons, and would go and smash them after becoming the first in the forest! If you don't believe it, wait until my injuries are healed, and let's have a showdown, let you see my power...

"Give it! After drinking it, your injuries will be completely recovered." Xiang Guangtai didn't know where he took out the herbal juice. Scizor was stunned for a moment, took it suspiciously, and then tried to drink it.

It didn't worry that the human would do anything to the medicine. After all, it had been caught by them and couldn't resist.

The herbal juice entered its stomach, and a strange warm current radiated from its body. The old injuries left in the battle gradually disappeared, and a power of life sprayed out in its body! Scizor felt the changes in its body in disbelief. Its state was better than ever! Compared to the state when it just evolved, it was better!

Now it has the confidence to compete with that shadow dragon again... At least it can resist two Dragon Tails!

Scizor looked at the human in front of it in disbelief.

Why give it such good things...

"Okay, the injuries are recovered, let's fight!" Xiang Guangtai suddenly gave an order. Dou Jianqiao and Lilligant both wanted to fight Scizor. They had accumulated a lot of power and replenished their energy quickly after repairing the Rock Mountain ruins. For this Pokémon that invaded their home, they must use their own power to let it know how powerful they are!

"Na!" Turtwig thought for a while and also made a request to fight!

It also wanted to show its growth!

However, Scizor's eyes only focused on Dou Jianqiao and Lilligant. It had personally experienced the strength of these two Pokémon. As for Turtwig... Scizor looked at this little turtle and had seen it in the forest before.

Humph, although I have no bottom line and steal everywhere, that is to obtain power and swing my iron fist at stronger Pokémon. I won't bully weak Pokémon, because that's meaningless and very boring!

Xiang Guangtai: "Okay! Turtwig, I choose you!"

Scizor: "???"

Stunned, shocked, puzzled, and then a wave of anger at being despised!

Scizor pointed at Turtwig in annoyance, shook its head, and pointed at Dou Jianqiao and Lilligant, nodding.

It didn't want to fight a weak Pokémon like Turtwig at all. It wouldn't be glorious to win! And what is this? Looking down on its power?

"Whether Turtwig is strong or not, won't you know after fighting?"

Xiang Guangtai snapped his fingers!

Weak Pokémon becoming strong, this kind of change is the most intuitive!

"Solar Beam!"

The battle came without warning. Turtwig shook its head, and the Power Herb on its back jumped!

Although there is no sun in the Distortion World, there is still "light" here!

Turtwig absorbed the light!

Solar Beam blasted out instantly. Scizor didn't react and was directly blasted away by the powerful Solar Beam. After crawling up from the ground, it looked at the Turtwig, which looked very weak, in disbelief!

This, this is not right! I am a Steel-type Pokémon, how can the moves of a Grass-type Pokémon have such great power and effect!

Underestimated you!

Scizor became serious. Originally, it thought Turtwig was a weak Pokémon and dismissed it, but now it seems quite powerful! I didn't expect that I had misjudged it, then next, Bullet Punch!

The silvery-white fist arrived first, accompanied by the flashing linear brilliance!

"Shell Smash." Xiang Guangtai gave the order lightly. Turtwig shook its shell, and a layer of energy shell was broken. Its speed increased significantly, directly dodging the attack of Bullet Punch. Its short legs almost ran out of afterimages, circling around Scizor, making the latter look left and right, greatly shocked!

"Trailblaze."

Turtwig's speed increased again. Scizor swung its fists, but no matter how it attacked, it couldn't touch Turtwig. It began to get impatient. At this time, Xiang Guangtai gave another order:

"While using Trailblaze, use Bulldoze at the same time!"

Lilligant also put its leaves on both sides of its cheeks on the side, making a worried sound:

"Doreli!"

Use dance steps!

"Na!" Turtwig didn't forget to respond while running at high speed. Before, it had special training with Lei Ji Luo Ke and Unown. In addition to learning new moves, it also learned how to better combine various moves to produce unexpected effects. This is actually a technique that powerful Pokémon will have!

Just like the current Trailblaze + Bulldoze!

Every step down is Bulldoze, like a fierce drum sound resounding through the clouds. The ground was shaken by the shockwave, constantly shaking Scizor, making it very surprised!

Is there such a move combination!

Damn... Double Team!

Scizor used Double Team, and then all the clones made the same action, swinging their giant pincers to use "Brick Break" in a rotating sweep!

The fierce fist wind lifted the land of the floating island, but Turtwig jumped up from the land!

"Razor Leaf!"

The Razor Leaf, which can easily cut large stone materials, hit Scizor's clones, and after eliminating all the clones, it accurately hit Scizor, and — landed a critical hit!

Scizor staggered and almost fell. Turtwig landed and took advantage of the situation to eject, directly flew out and used Bulldoze, four little feet accurately kicked Scizor's chest, and then used Trailblaze again with its chest as a pedal!

Although Xiang Guangtai didn't command, he also saw a flash of light in his eyes when he saw Turtwig's set of movements.

"Now, Mud-Slap!"

Although Solar Beam is powerful, Scizor is 4x resistant to Grass, so it can't cause decisive damage. In the case of not being able to use Fire-type moves, the moves of Ground, Rock, Flying, and Fighting attributes that can cause equal damage are the best choices!

Not to mention, Turtwig also has knowledge that can strengthen Ground-type moves!

Turtwig opened its big mouth, and a large amount of mud sprayed out from its mouth. The Ground-type energy of these muds was very strong. After hitting Scizor, it directly blasted it away from the spot, slammed into a giant rock on the floating island, and blasted the rock into powder!

Scizor swayed, stood up from the rubble with wide eyes, looked at the little turtle in disbelief, and then rolled its eyes, turned into swirl-eyes, and fell directly to the ground!

"Lilligant?" Xiang Guangtai smiled: "Wake it up, use 'Close Combat' on Scizor."

"Doreli~" Lilligant also smiled, and the power on its leaves was ready to go.

Scizor was originally in a coma, and the lantern was flashing in its mind again. Following that, a familiar pain came, forcing it to wake up. This time Scizor didn't jump up directly, but lay on the ground and showed an expression of thinking about bug life.

After fighting by any means for so many years, the result was knocked down by a very weak grass turtle, and this was still the result after evolution.

Does so many years of fighting and training really make sense?

Or, from the beginning, my mentality was wrong...

Scizor began to reflect. It didn't understand how Turtwig could have such powerful power. At this time, Xiang Guangtai walked in front of it again. Scizor struggled to get up and sat on the land of the floating island, but its eyes were fixed on the Turtwig that had just defeated it.

"Na~" Turtwig felt a little embarrassed by Scizor's staring.

So I have become a little bit stronger now! But don't look at me like that all the time, thank you for acknowledging me.

Scizor: "..."

"How about it, do you realize your lack of strength now? My proposal just now is still valid."

This time Scizor didn't refute.

The best way to deal with stubborn wild Pokémon is to defeat them directly, so they will become easy to talk to, even for this cunning Scizor!

"Has."

Then, what should I do to become as strong as that little turtle? Scizor asked actively.

This doesn't mean it submitted to this human, this is just a necessary means to become stronger, it comforted itself like this.

Xiang Guangtai looked around: "First of all, you can help Giratina here. How about planting some trees first? It doesn't matter, I will teach you how to do it."

Planting trees?! Are you kidding, how can this kind of thing become stronger...

Scizor slandered, feeling that it was being played, and there were no trees here at all...

"Gaa..." Giratina pointed to a floating island with its dragon tail. That was the floating island where the gratitude sculptures were placed. There were many trees on that island, seemingly waiting for cultivation.

Xiang Guangtai didn't know where he took a shovel and directly stuffed it to Scizor: "Follow my method, you will definitely become stronger."

Scizor was still skeptical, and it was taken to that floating island by Giratina, until it tentatively planted a fruit tree on the side. Of course, the process was not smooth, because the soil of the Distortion World itself was quite barren and could only grow some ordinary moss. Although the sculpture played a role in calming the chaotic power here, making the land usable, various problems such as soil compaction still made Scizor feel a headache.

It used to cut down trees often! A Cross Poison could cut down a large area! But this kind of work of planting trees was the first time! Isn't it enough to wait for the forest to grow by itself?

Besides, is there any need for afforestation in this barren and useless world...

After working for a while, it handled this work. Besides, that shovel... although it was easy to use, it was really not used to it as a Pokémon, so in the end, it returned to the state of digging soil with giant pincers.

Scizor also discovered for the first time that its pincers could dig soil so efficiently. While digging, metallic light actually lit up on the two giant pincers!

【Scizor helped you complete a piece of work. Gained experience and growth!】

【Learned move: Metal Claw!】

【Planted: Confluence Apple Tree — In the Distortion World, the state of trees and fruits in the real world may produce some changes.】

"Has.?" Scizor felt a brand-new power appear. This feeling was the same as when eating those magical candies!

Planting trees can really make you stronger!

Xiang Guangtai: "That's right, as long as you repeat the same work, you can practice moves to perfection on the basis of constantly becoming stronger. This is very similar to your previous training. In fact, it is the same principle, but the effect of making yourself grow and strengthen only appears when you work for me."

"The commission for planting trees is long-term, you can plant slowly."

Giratina also nodded frequently.

This Scizor's work is fast and good! Metal Claw can also be used to dig soil and plant trees. I haven't thought about this operation before!

Well, the first guest of this world did a good job, reward it with a chance to fight with me once!

As soon as this was said, Scizor's spirit was full.

Really? Is there a chance to continue fighting?

"Has!"

Then I will work hard to plant trees, and next time I will strive to continue fighting with Giratina... At least, resist two, no, three Dragon Tails!

"This Scizor actually sets goals for itself..." Xiang Guangtai nodded.

Anyway, Scizor's matter is solved, and the Distortion World also has a second Pokémon and a capable greening expert. At least before its great enemy Aerodactyl and some bird Pokémon appear, its matter doesn't need to worry.

If it still has psychological problems after this, Unown can be asked to help with counseling. Of course, this kind of counseling is simply "concretizing the inner heart", which is the same principle as when Ash and the others counseled Larvitar and entered Larvitar's inner world to break the ice.

Childhood psychological trauma can only be "acquired counseling" through Unown, or "defeating it head-on" by yourself.

Giratina is also very happy.

This guy is so easy to fool! Naturally warlike young Pokémon, let me guide you myself...

【Speaking of which, you actually took the initiative to help this Scizor. I thought you would make some excessive demands to retaliate against it.】

Giratina shook its dragon head, and Dou Jianqiao jumped out.

The trainer I chose wants people and all Pokémon to live in harmony, to create a kingdom where humans and Pokémon live together. When encountering Pokémon with mental problems, of course, you must use powerful power to make it realize its mistakes, and then correct them!

"Blocking is not as good as dredging. Wild Pokémon are all like this. They will become easy to talk to after fighting. And this is also a punishment for it, and for you, it is finding a good helper, isn't it? Everyone is very happy!"

At the same time, Xiang Guangtai looked at Giratina with some doubts:

"By the way, where did those trees come from? Are they apple trees?"

Giratina can peek at the real world through mirrors and lakes, and use shadow power to drag some things into the Distortion World. However, its power extension range is limited, and it generally won't show this ability in other regions.

Giratina recalled: 【That's right, it was dragged from an area near Sinnoh. It will bear fruits called apples. I didn't steal other people's things! These apple trees are ownerless!】
