Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Sorry, I Couldn’t Make the Axe Mantis Go All Out

I fight the Axe Mantis?

Is this true or false?

[Axe Mantis, the Pokémon with an axe. It protects itself with hard rocks and cuts down trees with its rough axe. It has a bad temper and is easily angered. If you encounter it in the wilderness, running away will be the only option.]

Asking Link, with his physical fitness, to fight against the Axe Mantis alone with a table full of sickly young men in this world is about as difficult as asking Benboerba to kill Tang Seng and his disciples.

If you don't run, you will die?

But there was no use running away.

Seeing its prey running away, the Axe Mantis immediately used "Lightning Flash" to speed up and approach, then followed up with a "Chop" move.

When Link came to his senses, he found that he had been cut in half and fell on the ground of unknown substance. Even the Axe Mantis had stopped moving.

"I'm sorry I couldn't let Axe Mantis use his full strength." Link wanted to continue the gag, but the severe pain that followed was so painful that it was hard to continue.

Fortunately, in the dream world, the pain he felt when being attacked or injured was weakened, and it was not so severe as to cause plasmolysis and brain death.

"But no matter what, it's too difficult for me to fight the elf alone!"

"Indeed." The mysterious voice from the sky seemed to think so, "But don't you still have life?"

Hearing this, Link was about to complain when he found that his body had been reconnected without him noticing, and his ability to move and feel had been restored.

Not only that, he found that there was a light emanating from his waist that was shaped like the Thousand Universe Arms (the wheel-shaped object inlaid with gold and jade cross behind Arceus).

Zhenbao is a prop used to restore the sanity of violent elves. The main way to use it is to smash the violent elves until they regain their sanity.

But this is something that only Super Jade Washers are capable of using, and Link does not have the physical ability to correspond to it.

Maybe we should give it a try to see how well it works?

Just as he was thinking this, the Axe Mantis that had originally stopped moving suddenly roared again.

Seeing that the opponent was about to launch another attack, Link's face turned stern, and he looked at the Axe Mantis with determination. He picked up the treasure formed by light at his waist and smashed it at the Axe Mantis with all his might!

The treasure transformed by the light had no weight at all. Even the air resistance could not limit its movement. It was just like a meteor shot out under the force and flew about a hundred meters away before gradually dissipating.

Obviously, Link missed the target.

"..."

The next moment, a gust of wind came, and he was split into two again from the waist by the Axe Mantis.

The intense pain spread to my brain, and I couldn't help but scream even though I was prepared.

"ah!"

"Fu?"

Perhaps it was because the pain was so severe that the body mistakenly thought it was in danger, or perhaps it was simply because the time to stay in PDW had run out.

Link woke up with a scream, and then saw the worried look of the fire fox sitting on his chest.

It seemed as if he had been sleeping so badly from the beginning, as if he was being chased in a dream.

"Don't worry, I just had a nightmare."

Link stretched out his index finger and rubbed the little fox's nose. "Go to bed early. We'll go to the orchard to pick fruits tomorrow."

The fire fox nodded and returned to the mat that had been laid out for it in the corner of the bed.

After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.

Link couldn't sleep.

The scene of being chased by the Axe Mantis in the dream just now is still vivid in my mind. It was as if I was facing some kind of huge monster and my heart stopped beating several times.

The average Axe Mantis is about 1.8 meters tall, but the one he just faced was over 3 meters tall. It was obviously the Forest King Axe Mantis from the Giant Tree Battlefield in the Obsidian Plains.

The Forest King is just an appetizer. The subsequent Queen of the Mountain Trail, Miss Skirt, the Island King, Windy Dog, the Cave King, Naughty Thunderbolt and the Snowfield King, Ice Rock Monster are the heavyweights.

It was really hard for Link to imagine how Mingyao or Xiaozhao, who had returned to the Xicui era, could defeat them with their human bodies.

Is there such a huge difference in physique between humans on Earth and those in the Pokémon world?

Perhaps the humans in this world are really a kind of elves...

"Alas, Meng Tianlian Zhan..."

Legend has it that this is the place where A-Jung was invited by Arceus to challenge powerful spirits in his dreams.

There are many types of Pokémon that can be challenged, from Pichu to Unknown Totem to Ice Robot to Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and the final challenge target for the 50th consecutive victory is the legendary Sinnoh Lord Arceus.

Moreover, the strength of these elves is unparalleled. The starting level of singles opponents is 80, while the starting level of doubles (referring to two against one or three against one) opponents is 60. The last opponent, Arceus, even reaches level 100.

In other words, the Splitting Axe Mantis that Link just encountered there was most likely level 80... no wonder he died so quickly.

As for the mysterious voice coming from the sky, there is no need to think too much about it. According to the inscription on the back of the legendary stone tablet, "It is watching Pokémon and humans in all the universes." As a time traveler, his coming to this world is destined to be known by the alpaca.

The alpaca itself is not an evil god. In some special circumstances, it will even provide special protection for trainers, allowing them and their partner's Pokémon to master moves called "divine skills."

By the way, the way alpacas grant protection to human elves is to strike them with thunder from the sky (ancient poems call it: being illuminated by the light of the Great Lord of Sinnoh).

[Ancient Poetry 3: Without claws or teeth, humans are so vulnerable in front of Pokémon. One day, lightning struck from the sky and hit ten Pokémon. The Pokémon struck by lightning have since become the arms of fragile humans. I wonder if the lightning was a mercy bestowed upon humans by the Great Lord Sinnoh.]

I always feel that a Pikachu who beat up dozens of Spearows as soon as he left the house had also experienced something similar... Link didn't know if he was overthinking it. Besides, it was still "Invincible" at that time, and there was no setting for Arceus at all (it was still the setting of the God of Light and Darkness in the abandoned plan at that time). It can't be said that the initial conception of the mythology of the Pokémon world had already been formed at that time.

Regardless, Link had no intention of giving up this rare opportunity.

Just as the mysterious voice said - "Dream Heaven Battle is a place where you can improve your strength at a cheating speed while sleeping."

Such high-end battles are a rare experience for him and the elves. Elves stronger than the champion's main force are not easy to encounter everywhere.

To do this, Link must also add points to his strength and agility, even if it's only a little bit, so that he can keep up with the elves' movements and not miss the target when throwing the treasure.

Five of the six attributes are in urgent need, and bits are even more scarce than time.

For this reason, he must go all out to resolve the situation on that side, and strive to bring together the Ultimate Forms of others to attack the Ultimate Form as soon as possible to gain bits and points.
