Chapter 225:The Sleeping Zacian and the Rusted Sword

Bam~

With a dull thud, Perrserker's body was sent flying by the Psyshock attack, crashing into a tree.

Rustle~

The tree shook, scattering a large number of fallen leaves.

"Tinkatink~"

Tinkatink looked at the scene with wide, shocked eyes.

This human is so strong!

Perrserker is a very combative Pokémon.

It is the evolved form of Meowth.

However, the Meowth in the Great Britain Region is completely different from Meowth in other regions.

In terms of type, they are Steel-type Pokémon, unlike the Normal-type Meowth.

It is said that this Meowth changed due to living with a warlike seafaring people long ago.

Back then, they wore armor like the pirates.

Due to long-term use of various iron items and frequent battles, their genes mutated, evolving into the current Steel-type Pokémon.

Natsume had sensed the fighting intent behind him, which was why he took the initiative to attack.

"Perrserker!"

Perrserker shook its head.

After shaking off the leaves on its head, it stood up from the ground.

Perrserker bared its sharp teeth, swinging a short sword in its hand, and assumed an offensive stance toward Natsume.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the so-called short sword was actually its claw transformed.

"Really has that Viking pirate vibe."

Natsume looked at the Perrserker with a relaxed expression.

"However, the Pokémon here have such high potential."

Natsume then looked at Perrserker. "How about coming with me?"

"Perrserker!"

Perrserker growled, saying that Natsume should only talk like that after defeating it.

Clearly, the difference in strength was too great, and it hadn’t realized just how big the gap was.

After saying this, Perrserker charged at Natsume again.

It clenched its claws together like a short sword, thrusting straight at Natsume.

Night Slash!

Natsume didn’t dodge, just stood calmly in place, a faint light flickering in his eyes.

The next second, Perrserker’s body froze mid-charge.

Then, Perrserker was sent flying into the air, followed by...

Bam~

With a dull thud, Perrserker’s body slammed heavily to the ground.

Perrserker was knocked out.

Natsume threw a Poké Ball.

Bang~

A red light shot out.

Shake~ Ding~.

Perrserker was successfully captured.

"Tinkatink~"

Tinkatink’s gaze at Natsume now held a hint of admiration.

For Tinkatink, who also lived in this misty forest, it certainly knew Perrserker.

At the same time, it also knew just how strong Perrserker was.

"Come on out, Perrserker."

Natsume released Perrserker again, then used Eternity Power to restore its stamina.

According to pirate tradition, the winner could claim everything.

This Perrserker seemed to be a Pokémon that strictly adhered to tradition.

After realizing its defeat, it became much more subdued.

Natsume looked at Perrserker. "Do you know where Zacian is?"

Perrserker thought for a moment, then shook its head in confusion.

"Is that so? Then take us to the stone temple in this forest."

"Perrserker~"

Perrserker knew the stone temple and nodded, then ran ahead.

"Tinkatink, don’t you want to rest inside a Poké Ball for a bit?"

Natsume asked the Tinkatink walking beside him.

Tinkatink quickly grabbed the hem of Natsume’s pants.

Without a hammer, Tinkatink felt severely lacking in security.

"Alright, let’s head to the lake first. If there’s nothing to gain, we’ll head back."

"Perrserker~"

Perrserker seemed to have some authority in this misty forest.

The Pokémon living in the forest noticed Perrserker and quickly moved away from them.

Soon, they reached the lake in the forest.

The lake under the rain and mist looked like a serene, ink-wash painting.

The drizzle fell like threads, gently tapping on the calm surface of the lake.

Rolling mist covered the water’s surface and the stone temple on a small island in the lake.

Inside the temple stood a broken stone statue.

In its mouth was a rusted iron sword.

It looked like it hadn’t been held by anyone in a long time.

Natsume looked at the statue: a stream of data instantly appeared.

Name: Zacian (Sleeping)
Type: Fairy/Steel
Level: Lv. 112
Ability: Intrepid Sword
Individual Values: HP 31, Attack 31, Defense 31, Special Attack 31, Special Defense 31, Speed 31

Potential: Godly Level Near Elite

"Wow, we actually found it."

Natsume looked at Zacian in slight astonishment.

Today, Natsume had only planned to use the Temple of the Sea to reach the ocean and catch a few Clauncher, but he hadn’t expected the temple to drift all the way to Great Britain.

Even more surprising was that he had actually encountered the legendary Zacian.

Bang~ Bang~

Natsume looked at Zacian, feeling a surge of excitement.

"If it’s sleeping, it shouldn’t matter where it sleeps, right?"

Natsume turned to Gardevoir. "How about we move it back to sleep at our place?"

Gardevoir tried using Psychic to move Zacian’s stone statue.

"It doesn’t seem to work."

"Is that so?"

Natsume thought for a moment, then turned his attention to the sword in Zacian’s mouth.

"Legend says that whoever pulls the sword from the stone will become a hero."

Natsume muttered, then placed his hand on the hilt.

"Let me see if I can pull it out."

A powerful psychic energy began to spread from Natsume’s body, enveloping his arm.

Clink~

The sword shifted slightly.

Natsume’s arm pulled back, and the sword in Zacian’s mouth began to slowly move outward.

Swish~

Natsume flicked his wrist, and the sword spun beautifully in the air.

At the same time, the stone-like Zacian suddenly opened its eyes, staring directly at Natsume.

Ding dong~
