Me, fighting Scizor?
Really?
[Scizor, the Kleavor. It protects itself with hard rocks and uses its rough axe to chop down large trees. It has a violent and easily angered temperament. If you encounter it in the wilderness, running away is the only option.]
Asking Link, someone with physical abilities comparable to the sickly teenagers of this world, to fight Scizor one-on-one is about as difficult as asking Benboerba to kill Tang Sanzang and his disciples.
Running away is like waiting to die?
But running away is useless.
Seeing its prey escape, Scizor immediately used "Quick Flash" to accelerate its approach and followed up with a "Slash".
When Link came to his senses, he found himself cut in half at the waist, lying on some kind of soil, and even Scizor had stopped moving.
"I'm sorry I couldn't get Scizor to use its full power." Link wanted to continue the joke, but the excruciating pain that followed was too much to bear.
Fortunately, in the dream world, the pain he felt from attacks or injuries was reduced, preventing him from experiencing excruciating pain and brain death.
"But no matter what, making me fight an elf one-on-one is too difficult!"
"Indeed." The mysterious voice from the sky seemed to agree. "But you're still alive, aren't you?"
Just as Link was about to retort, he found his body had unknowingly reassembled, regaining his mobility and sense of touch.
Moreover, he noticed a light emanating from his waist, shaped like the Thousand Arms (the golden, jade-inlaid cross-shaped wheel behind Arceus).
This was a treasure, an item used to restore the sanity of berserk elves. Its main method of use was to relentlessly smash the berserk elf until it regained its senses.
But this was something only a Super Jadeite user could use, and Link didn't have the corresponding physical abilities.
Perhaps he should try its effects?
Just as he thought this, the Scizor, which had stopped moving, suddenly roared again.
Seeing that it was about to attack again, Link's expression hardened. He resolutely looked at the Scizor, grabbed the treasure formed of light from his waist, and hurled it at the Scizor with all his might!
The treasure formed of light had no weight; even air resistance couldn't restrict its movement. It was propelled like a meteor by the force of the blow, flying about a hundred meters away before gradually dissipating.
Clearly, Link had missed.
"..."
The next instant, a gust of wind descended, and he was once again cleaved in two from the waist down by the Scizor.
Intense pain shot through his brain, and even though he was somewhat prepared, he couldn't help but cry out.
"Ah!"
"Fennekin?"
Perhaps the pain made his body mistakenly believe he was in danger, or perhaps it was simply that his time inside the PDW had run out.
Link woke up with a start, then saw the worried look in the eyes of the fire fox sitting on his chest.
He seemed to have been sleeping so badly from the very beginning that it looked like he was being chased in his dream.
"Don't worry, I just had a nightmare."
Link rubbed the little Fennekin's nose with his index finger: "Go to sleep early, we'll go fruit picking Tomorrow.
The Fennekin nodded and returned to the mat he had laid out for it in the corner of the bed.
Soon after, it drifted off to sleep.
Link, however, couldn't sleep.
The scene of being chased by Scizor in his dream was still vivid in his mind, as if he were facing some kind of giant monster, making his heart stop several times.
A typical Scizor is about 1.8 meters tall, but the one he had just faced was over 3 meters tall, clearly the Forest King Scizor from the Obsidian Plains Giant Tree Battlefield.
And the Forest King was just an appetizer; the real heavyweights were the Mount Quena, Mesprit, Island King the Arcanine, the Cave King, Electrode, and the Snow King, Glaceon.
Link really couldn't imagine how Bright or Little Zhao, back in the Green Age, could defeat them with their human bodies.
Was there really such a big difference in physical constitution between Earthlings and the Pokémon world?
Perhaps the humans in this world are truly a kind of Pokémon…
"Sigh, endless battles in dreams…"
This is the place where Link, invited by Arceus, continuously challenges powerful Pokémon in his dreams.
The types of Pokémon he can challenge are incredibly diverse, from Pichu to Unown to Iceborn Gauntlet to Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and finally, the opponent during his 50-win streak is none other than the legendary Sinnoh Grandmaster Arceus.
Moreover, the strength of these Pokémon is unparalleled; single-player opponents start at level 80, while double-player (two against one, three against one) opponents start at level 60, with the final opponent, Arceus, reaching level 100.
In other words, the Scizor Link just encountered there was likely level 80… no wonder he died so quickly.
As for the mysterious voice coming from the sky, there's no need to overthink it. According to the inscription on the back of the legendary stone tablet, "It watches over Pokémon and humans throughout all universes," as a transmigrator, his arrival in this world is destined to be known by the Arceus.
Arceus itself isn't an evil god; in certain special circumstances, it might even bestow special protection upon trainers, granting them and their partner Pokémon moves known as "divine techniques."
Incidentally, the way Arceus grants protection is by striking the trainer with lightning from the sky (ancient texts refer to this as: being illuminated by the light of the Great Lord Sinnoh).
[Ancient Text 3: Clawless and toothless, humans are so vulnerable before Pokémon. One day, lightning struck ten Pokémon. The Pokémon struck by the lightning became the ally of the fragile humans. It's unknown whether that lightning was a mercy bestowed upon humanity by the Great Lord Sinnoh.]
It feels like Pikachu, who just left home and blew up dozens of Spearow, experienced something similar… Link doesn't know if he's overthinking it, especially since that was the original Pokémon series, and Arceus wasn't even a concept back then (it was still a scrapped concept of the Light and Dark Gods). It's impossible to say that he already had the initial conception of the Pokémon world's mythology at that time.
In any case, Link doesn't intend to give up this rare opportunity.
As the Mysterious Voice said, "The Dream Sky Battle is a place where you can cheat your way to higher levels while you're asleep."
Such high-level battles are a rare experience for him and his Pokémon; encountering Pokémon stronger than the Champion's main force isn't something you can just happen to anywhere.
Therefore, Link must also invest points in Strength and Agility, even just a little, to ensure he can keep up with the Pokémon's movements and doesn't miss when throwing his treasure.
Five out of the six attributes are in high demand; Pit is even scarcer than time.
Therefore, he must do everything in his power to resolve the situation there and strive to lead the others' Ultimate Pokémon to gang up on the Ultimate Pokémon as soon as possible to rapidly increase Pit's stats.
