Chapter 369: Scram
The prairie at night wasn't too dark; the bright moon and stars in the sky didn't seem to want this prairie to be shrouded in darkness.
So Will and the two little ones didn't need to use oil lamps while advancing.
"Zoroark is known as the 'Master of Illusions', meaning their existence is very rare, and they are unwilling to contact humans; otherwise, they would be very terrible."
Will introduced the target of this trip to the two little ones while moving forward.
He asked about the general direction before.
Walking in this direction now, if lucky, might see Zoroark and the others.
"Master of Illusions, what a cool name!"
Kazan clenched his fists, revealing a look of expectation in his eyes.
A Pokémon that can be called "Master" (Overlord) must be very cool and powerful, right?
"Teacher, why say they are very dangerous?"
Rami thought about the other aspect.
What kind of Pokémon would make Teacher say very dangerous?
"Zoroark has the power to deceive people; they can not only transform into other things, but also make hundreds of people see illusions at the same time."
Will grinned when saying this, turning to look at Rami beside him,
"Tell me, if the one standing beside you now is not the teacher you are familiar with, but a Pokémon transformed into your teacher's appearance, do you think it's terrible?"
"Gulp... Teacher, don't scare me."
Rami widened his eyes looking at Will in horror, couldn't help swallowing, retreating half a step.
"Hahaha, coward Rami."
Kazan mocked him.
"If there is a Zoroark, transforming into your appearance or mine, then he can walk smoothly behind your Father King,
And your Father King wouldn't even suspect him..."
Will glanced at them casually and continued.
Although Ditto can also transform into human appearance.
But he can only transform himself.
But Zoroark's power is far more than that.
He can create illusions of Rami and Kazan beside himself while transforming into Will, making Dresa unable to detect anything wrong at all.
Can also stand dozens of meters away, create an illusion of Dresa's deceased wife out of thin air, let that illusion lead Dresa to the rooftop of the Sword of the Vale and jump down.
Dresa won't notice anything wrong.
Because in his eyes, he might not be standing on the rooftop, but standing in the bedroom; in front of him is a flat ground.
If we say.
Among many ordinary Pokémon.
Lucario is a born master of Taijutsu (physical arts) in the Pokémon world, then Zoroark is a born master of Genjutsu (illusion arts) in the Pokémon world.
The former can control Aura Power stimulated by the physical body.
The latter can control Illusion Power stimulated by the spirit.
"..." (x2)
Now even Kazan couldn't laugh.
As Will said.
Such a Pokémon is really too terrible.
They even associated that their Father King might no longer be Dresa, but a Zoroark with Dresa's appearance, the entire Kingdom of the Vale under Zoroark's control.
Thinking of this.
They couldn't help shuddering.
"Teacher, I want to pee."
Under emotional tension, Rami felt his bladder couldn't hold on.
"Go."
"Mm."
Rami nodded gently, running to a slightly farther direction.
After a while.
"Teacher!! Help!!"
Rami ran wildly towards here while shouting.
Will and Kazan turned to look.
Saw another figure in the darkness behind Rami.
Looking closely.
That figure was precisely another Rami!
He made exactly the same movements and expressions as the Rami in front, running wildly towards Will together, simply like a Rami running out of a mirror.
"Wow! Two Ramis!"
Kazan widened his eyes, startled, then shouted at those two Ramis,
"Don't come over! Who is the real Rami?! Come closer and I'll beat you!"
Hearing this, the two Ramis stopped hurriedly.
Anxiety and tears appeared in both their eyes.
"Teacher..."
One of the Ramis looked at Will tearfully.
"Come here."
Will extended his hands to him.
Little Rami rushed over hurriedly and hugged him tightly.
Burying his face in the fur, Rami calmed down, raising his head to look at Will with adoring eyes.
To be honest.
Rami himself couldn't distinguish who was the real him.
But Teacher figured it out immediately.
So amazing!
"You fake, eat my kick!"
Kazan reacted, kicking towards that fake Rami.
Although he couldn't distinguish which one was the real Rami.
But Teacher could distinguish!
Seeing Kazan rushing over, that Rami transformed into a big black fox with a shake.
"Zorua."
Will raised his eyebrows seeing that Pokémon.
Said "no wonder" secretly in his heart.
Actually, there were many flaws in that fake Rami just now.
Although the appearance was perfect, actually could detect something wrong from many places.
For example.
Walking posture.
Rami wouldn't walk on tiptoes (lifting heels).
If it were a mature Zoroark, imitating humans would absolutely not make such low-level mistakes.
Only immature and naughty Zorua would make mistakes in these small details.
Zorua in the era of magical beasts.
Not as petite and cute as appearing in the anime.
This Zorua standing in front of the three now was 1.4 meters tall on all fours, half a head taller than them.
Seeing the opponent's size, Kazan also retreated hurriedly.
He wasn't afraid.
Just not stupid.
"Hehe..."
Zorua, transformed back to original form, showed a naughty snicker on his face, eyes looking at Rami with a bit more mockery.
"Teacher, he is so bad."
Rami pulled Will's hand, somewhat aggrieved.
"Mm, Zorua's personality is relatively naughty. They are the pre-evolution form of Zoroark, can also transform, just not that powerful."
Will nodded, raising his hand to stroke his head.
At this moment his attention was more on the surrounding grassland, not paying special attention to this Zorua.
The Zoroark clan is Pokémon that always think of their partners.
They will absolutely not abandon any partner.
Similarly.
Zoroark won't let the still weak Zorua with immature transformation ability go out alone.
If this Zorua didn't sneak out, then there must be a Zoroark secretly staring here around.
"Zo." (Zorua sound)
Zorua looked at Will in front, showing a look of curiosity in his eyes.
He had little interest in humans.
Only interested in Will.
That's why he appeared in front of him.
"Remember how I taught you?"
Will glanced at Zorua.
He took out two biscuits from his chest and put them in the hands of Rami and Kazan beside him respectively.
This Zorua has quite some guts.
He prepared to let the two princes try to see if they could tame (catch/befriend) this Zorua.
However.
Will didn't expect them to really tame Zorua.
Taming Zorua is a quite difficult thing.
Just like...
To tame Growlithe, must be a benevolent person.
To tame Riolu, must be a righteous person.
To tame Ralts, must be a pure person.
In short.
To tame Zorua is very difficult; he doesn't think Rami and Kazan can do it.
The reason for letting them try.
One point is to train the courage of the two little ones, accumulating some experience.
Another point is to lure out that Zoroark hiding in the dark, completing the main goal of this practical class.
"Eh?!"
Rami was startled, showing a look of resistance on his face.
Originally he was timid, daring not contact wild Pokémon.
Plus that matter just now.
He dared not contact Zorua even more.
"I'll do it!"
Kazan wasn't afraid at all, rushing up with the biscuit.
Will sighed seeing this scene.
But not surprised either.
Kazan is such a child.
His ambition and desire are always shown in his eyes and actions.
Being proactive is a good thing.
But such aggressive initiative will only scare away the Pokémon.
"Zo?!"
As Will expected, Zorua was startled, screaming and retreating backward.
"Don't run!"
Kazan chased up hurriedly.
"Kazan! Don't chase! It's dangerous!"
Rami was startled, disregarding fear and heading towards his brother's direction.
Will smiled helplessly watching this scene.
Too reckless.
But the relationship between the brothers is quite good, especially Rami values his brother very much.
Hope the brothers can maintain this brotherhood well when they grow up in the future.
Thinking of that future.
Will felt somewhat worried in his heart.
Suddenly.
A roar came from the front.
"ROAR!!"
"Appeared huh."
Will tapped lightly under his feet.
A stream of water surged out quickly from the earth wrapping him.
The next moment.
Will soared directly into the sky, heading towards the direction of Rami and Kazan.
On the other side.
Kazan held the constantly screaming and struggling Zorua in his arms, staring blankly at the behemoth suddenly appearing in front of him.
Appearing in front of him was an upright gray fox three meters tall, eyes showing ice-blue color.
"Zoark..." (Zoroark sound)
Zoroark looked at the human brat in front and his own child, a touch of anger appearing in his eyes, revealing his fangs.
"Kazan!"
Rami chasing from behind turned pale seeing this scene.
He disregarded everything, rushed up to grab the Zorua in Kazan's arms, threw it to Zoroark, then turned and hugged his brother.
"Zoark."
Zoroark, who caught Zorua, didn't seem to intend to let Kazan go just like this.
He raised his right claw, preparing to teach this human brat a lesson.
Just at this time.
Boom!!
A water column fell vertically from the night sky, impacting on top of Zoroark's head.
Splashing water brought the two little ones back to their senses.
Rami and Kazan hugged together, staring blankly at that petite and cute teacher, stomping the terrifying giant fox three meters tall onto the ground with one foot.
Like a god descending to earth.
"Scram."
Teacher's eyes reflected a touch of enchanting dark blue light under the dim moonlight.
Saw that giant fox tremble all over, eyes revealing almost solidified fear.
Subsequently.
Teacher withdrew his foot; that giant fox immediately fled in panic with the little fox.
The two teenagers remained motionless on the spot.
But in their slightly trembling pupils looking at Teacher, shot out incomparably worshipping light.
