"Pah pah pah," the many surrounding spirits were suddenly astonished. "I didn't expect you to be such a Pelipper!"
Next, Hydreigon, Dratini, and Dragonair used Dragon-type moves such as Dragon Pulse and Dragon Claw.
Their skills were all ordinary; one could only say they continued to train step by step.
Qingwu hadn't thought that these Dragon-type spirits could now "be of great use."
Next came the two spirits Qingwu was most looking forward to: Combusken and Marshtomp. He had personally nurtured them using top-tier treasures.
As soon as Combusken appeared, it learned Ember, spraying flames all over. The flames were so intense that they melted the surrounding rocks into magma.
Pelipper's expression suddenly cracked, and it said angrily, "Qingwu! That Combusken is cheating! Cheating!!"
Pelipper didn't expect Combusken to be such a Combusken, and it let out a heartbreaking wail.
Combusken's second move plagiarized Pelipper's Ember.
Combusken's orange-yellow feathers erupted with a column of fire over ten meters high. Then the column of fire tilted and enveloped Combusken, as if giving Combusken a flame armor.
Combusken's body instantly expanded several times, like a raging train, crushing the giant rocks in a straight line.
Combusken used the power of the Flame Orb. Combusken transformed into a ball of white flames. Wherever it went, the ground melted into magma.
Combusken not only used Quick Attack, but also used Peck.
Combusken, under the blessing of its accelerating ability, increased its speed several times.
Qingwu saw a scorching white pillar of fire pierce through five giant rocks. The rocks melted into magma, and then Combusken dispelled its flame armor, revealing its true appearance.
Now it was Pelipper's turn to crack. The Ember move it had painstakingly developed was completely surpassed by Combusken.
Pelipper and Pelipper silently found a corner, squatting on the ground, enveloped in a dark aura.
Marshtomp directly utilized the space left by Combusken. Its fins on its head continuously waved.
Originally, the sunny sky suddenly became overcast. The wind howled, and thunder rumbled.
Heavy rain began to fall with great momentum, quickly solidifying the magma into volcanic rock. This made Tyranitar, who was originally afraid of rain, feel somewhat uncomfortable.
When Marshtomp saw that the rain was almost over, it waved the fins on its head again. After a while, the dark clouds, like scattered fish scales, dispersed, and the sun reappeared.
"Marshtomp has improved a lot compared to before, and can automatically control the amount of rain now!" Qingwu felt that Marshtomp's birth still felt like yesterday.
Unknowingly, Marshtomp had grown up.
Marshtomp, with a single gulp, shot out a water cannon. The water cannon directly dispersed the solidified volcanic rock.
Marshtomp, like a Squirtle, achieved precise shooting. As long as Marshtomp saw a target, the water cannon would spray there.
Immediately afterwards, Marshtomp's body secreted countless sticky fluids. Just like its mother, its movements became faster and faster.
Finally, it jumped into mid-air, and a current of water directly wrapped around Marshtomp's body, as if giving Marshtomp a layer of armor.
Marshtomp used Water Pulse, and with its top-tier treasure, the Crystal of Water, Marshtomp's growth had no ceiling. It could easily do things that ordinary Water-type Pokémon couldn't.
Moreover, Marshtomp also wore top-tier mysterious water droplets, which could amplify Water-type attacks by 1.5 times.
Marshtomp's skill display concluded with a series of overwhelming surfing ultimate moves.
Next up was the performance of the two spirits, Servine and Croconaw.
Although Croconaw joined the team later, Croconaw was extremely diligent, working hard enough to make Qingwu feel inferior.
Lightning Rod stipulated that he had to swing his sword a thousand times and run five kilometers every day, using 500 Energy Ball skills.
Croconaw would swing his sword ten thousand times and run ten kilometers every day, using 1000 Energy Ball skills.
Under Qingwu's massive supply of energy blocks, Croconaw's speed improved with lightning speed.
Qingwu discovered that although they were both Leaf Blade skills, the Leaf Blades condensed by Servine and Croconaw were different.
Servine condensed a relatively broad blade, somewhat resembling a five-headed cleaver, or what is called a "ghost head blade."
And the one condensed by Croconaw resembled a willow leaf samurai sword.
Servine made large, sweeping movements when using Leaf Blade, while Croconaw was very precise, specifically targeting Servine's unprotected flaws.
Croconaw and Servine could both use Grass Field. However, Croconaw could also use the tactical recovery move, Leech Seed.
Leech Seed is a skill combination of Leech Seed and Seed Bomb. When Croconaw learned Squirtle's precise shooting, Leech Seed was simply point-and-shoot. Even the sharpest, most obscure positions could be hit directly.
When Leech Seed hit a spirit, with Croconaw's catalyst, the seed would take root and sprout, drawing physical strength from the opponent's body.
Qingwu felt that with this recovery skill, when Tyranitar battled Croconaw, it would be uncertain who would win or lose.
Of course, Croconaw's current delicate body might not be able to withstand Tyranitar's Sandstorm attack.
Regirock demonstrated to Qingwu what was called a Thoughtstorm, which was using psychic power to gather scattered rocks into a massive tornado.
Then these rocks suddenly attacked the canyon walls. The walls instantly turned into countless stone pillars, becoming uneven.
Qingwu felt that this move was somewhat similar to Saitama Sensei's Blizzard from One-Punch Man.
Hellfire is the supreme move that rolls scattered bricks into a rotating storm, letting countless bricks fly towards the opponent.
However, Regirock used this move with great difficulty, having exhausted most of its psychic power. Its small face became abnormally pale.
Fortunately, Regirock recovered after eating a few energy blocks.
"It's your turn, Ghost." Qingwu waved at Ghost, but saw Ghost quickly shuttle through the shadows of the spirits.
Every spirit possessed by Ghost would be unable to move for one to two seconds.
This was Ghost's new skill, Shadow Stalk.
Then Ghost spun and appeared as four clones. Then Ghost used Flamethrower on the clones.
Ghost was originally composed of Gengar. Clones were no exception. Clones grinned and rushed towards the target.
With just a few rumbling sounds, the clones produced a massive explosion.
The scene turned into a sea of fire. Ghost was like a Yama from hell, letting out an eerie laugh.
Ghost then plunged into the sea of fire. The sea of fire gradually turned into countless ghost fires. Ghost's strength grew rapidly after devouring a large number of souls from the desert stone pagoda.
The Three-Colored Fish saw its Water Pulse as ordinary, so it casually demonstrated it and then packed up.
Qingwu knew that the Three-Colored Fish could only unleash its true strength after evolving. He only urged the Three-Colored Fish to train harder.
Qingwu demonstrated his stronger singing skills. Echo, singing, and shouting, he could control various vocal ranges freely. Qingwu could shatter rocks with his voice.
Charmander and Aron, being newly born and still in their developmental stages, Qingwu hadn't tested them.
After this test, Qingwu understood the details of each spirit. Except for Pelipper and Pelipper, the other spirits had a good mindset.
Qingwu and the Wolf Dog formulated a stricter training plan. When Qingwu returned from the Tower of Burial, the strength of these spirits should have improved dramatically.
