Such a combination of skills made Roy suddenly realize this was definitely not something an ordinary Pokémon could do. If you truly wanted Pokémon to execute this, it would take extensive training to perform in such a coordinated manner. Even among his own Pokémon, through continuous skill releases and cooperation, only a few could do this. Others could only release one skill after another sequentially.
Purple Energy Balls gathered in each clone's hands, and they all threw them toward Ninetales. After the countless Energy Balls, Dark Pulse gathered in their mouths.
The energy released from the Energy Balls in their hands attacked Ninetales almost instantly.
Especially after seeing such a fighting style, Roy understood that when dealing with these two unusual Weavile, he must not only treat them as extremely powerful Pokémon but also as very cunning humans. Extremely cunning humans—their minds were impossible to predict.
And if combined with the powerful combat power of Pokémon, even for ordinary Pokémon species, when one could master all the skills available to them, the combat power they could display was far more formidable than a poorly trained Pokémon.
"Ninetales, hurry and use Light Screen, or use Ice Beam to freeze the space around you, forming a protective barrier!"
Light Screen could reflect part of the energy attacks to protect oneself, while another technique was to freeze special elements around through Ice Beam to form a physical shield, which could reduce the damage absorbed.
After hearing their master's order, Ninetales reacted very quickly. When the smoke cleared, Ninetales could be seen frozen within ice crystals, having not suffered much damage at all.
Although the Weavile used Quick Attack to improve their speed and evasion ability, and these clones differentiated by Double Team couldn't all escape such a counterattack—no matter how many clones were created, only one body was real.
And only through that real body could a legitimate attack be released, regardless of how flashy the battle appeared.
The damage that could be caused would only come from one Pokémon.
As long as one had good defensive methods, protection was entirely possible.
From the words of these villains, it could be heard that they could only be regarded as the most peripheral members of the organization. If only the most peripheral members possessed this kind of strength, presumably an organization like this in this world could cause quite a significant impact.
What the most peripheral members of an organization represented was the lowest tier of strength and ability. Just like now, they needed to offer valuable things to win the favor of their boss so they could get a chance at promotion.
But this also showed that if the most peripheral members had such strength, then what kind of power did the upper-level members and core members possess? How could they hide from everyone's eyes while secretly engaging in such conspiracies and schemes?
Seeing that his attack had no effect, the Weavile that had attacked directly retreated a long distance. It seemed very vigilant about such situations. When its full output couldn't deal any damage, it knew to withdraw.
"Hehe, it seems this little kid we met is really a powerful Trainer. He's been able to make his Pokémon have such coping reactions even before he issued a command. Although it's somewhat troubling, I like this kind of Pokémon with masters the most. Their unwilling eyes are so intoxicating. But at the same time, taking the heart of such a Pokémon will bring me even more joyful feelings..."
Just through such words, one could directly understand this being was definitely a sadist—the kind that derived pleasure from others' suffering.
If such a perverted individual used these methods on Pokémon or humans, then their existence in this world was truly a heinous crime.
"You make me very uncomfortable. I know there will be some darkness in this world, but I never thought it would appear before me in such a manner."
The other one was the elder brother among the two. Although they used the same Pokémon appearance, the strength they could display was different, and the fighting methods they employed seemed to vary according to their personalities. However, it had to be said that if humans could use Pokémon skills, it would greatly enhance the damage those skills could cause.
"I don't know what a little kid like you can actually do, but you've made me very curious. Seeing us kill a Pokémon without any reaction from you—anger and rage are the most common responses, but from you, we didn't sense any emotional fluctuations in that regard."
"Normally, there are only two situations for this. One is that you've long become numb to such so-called emotional things, so events happening around you that don't directly concern you won't cause any mood swings or emotions. The other is that you're cold-blooded people like us, whose real interests definitely don't lie with these lowly Pokémon."
No matter which explanation it was, this questioning and almost irrefutable tone made Roy very annoyed. Although he had already expected that such things would happen to him sooner or later, he never thought it would occur so soon. He had just been reminded about it, and now it appeared directly before him. It seemed this Guzzlord they killed had really drawn darkness toward Roy. Where did this darkness come from?
