Pokémon: Chronicles of Freedom-Chapter 414 - 413: Slowking the Leader!

The other Pokémon who witnessed Slowpoke's evolution displayed astonished expressions on their faces.

Suddenly, Slowking smiled foolishly, and it was then that the other Pokémon confirmed that the standing Pokémon before them was their former clumsy companion.

"Yadon!" (Slowking's cry)

Slowking called out to the Slowpoke from his group.

The response came from all the Slowpoke, who gazed at him with admiration, recognizing him as their king.

"Master, I want to find them a safe place to live," Slowking said to Cain through telepathy.

Cain pondered for a moment, then seemed to recall something.

With a smile, he said, "Take them to Leafy Town. I'm planning to open a water-type gym there. We'll create a large lake in the town where the Slowpoke can live. Afterward, I can bring some Shellder from the Kanto region to place in the lake, so the Slowpoke and Shellder can interact and evolve."

The connection between Slowking and his group of Slowpoke was clearly tied to the Leadership item Slowking possessed. If Cain wanted Slowking to retain that item, it was best to keep the Slowpoke under his care.

Cain also wanted to investigate whether the effects of this item could grow. If the group of Slowpoke expanded, perhaps Slowking's power would change as well.

The lake would be filled with many water-type Pokémon, and if Cain managed to relocate them all, it would form a complete water-type gym, attracting attention. People would want to catch water-type Pokémon and visit the gym, increasing its reputation.

Slowking nodded enthusiastically. Since his evolution, he felt a newfound responsibility on his shoulders. As one of the few Slowking in the Pokémon world, he had to protect several groups of Slowpoke.

If possible, he wanted to gather more Slowpoke and prevent them from being mistreated.

"Alright, first, let's deal with them," Cain said coldly.

The Sharpedo in the water had also witnessed Slowking's evolution, and a look of terror appeared in their eyes. The Pokémon standing before them emanated an intimidating presence.

Slowking awaited Cain's orders.

"Slowking, this will be your first battle after evolving. Show your power and let your companions rediscover you! Use Nasty Plot!" Cain ordered loudly.

Nasty Plot was the new move Slowking had learned upon evolving. With this move, he activated his mind and significantly boosted his special attack.

The biggest difference between Slowbro and Slowking was their intellect. While Slowpoke and Slowbro appeared clumsy, Slowking gave the impression of being extremely cunning. Perhaps this was the meaning of "great wisdom beneath a foolish appearance."

With a slight smile on his face, as if he had devised a plan, Slowking significantly increased his special power.

"Slowking, use Miracle Eye and then Psychic to take out those Carvanha! Honchkrow, Sneasel, and Skorupi, make sure to pull the Carvanha out of the water when they fall!" Cain ordered.

"Yadon!" (Slowking's cry)

Slowking's eyes gleamed with a rainbow of colors as he used Miracle Eye, enabling him to see through the essence of dark-type Pokémon. Then, a series of dark psychic energy spheres formed around him and flew in various directions.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The psychic energy explosions took out several weaker Carvanha in the water.

Honchkrow, alert, used its claws to bring back the farther Carvanha, while Sneasel, sliding on an icy path across the lake's surface, and Skorupi, using its tail, took care of tossing the Carvanha to the shore.

Slowking didn't pause. After each attack, he immediately launched the next.

The Sharpedo tried to intervene, but Slowking temporarily ignored them, focusing on eliminating the weaker Carvanha.

Three minutes later.

Acting as a true destruction machine, Slowking had cleared the lake of Carvanha. Even those hiding beneath the surface couldn't escape his eyes and attacks.

The Sharpedo group in the lake was now reduced to just a few.

The Sharpedo leader, with glowing red eyes, watched helplessly as his companions were defeated and taken to the shore.

Despite the three minutes of intense combat, Slowking showed no signs of exhaustion.

"Slowking, only they remain. Take them all out! Try a new technique: you now have a vast amount of psychic power, but the focus is limited. Try concentrating your psychic power into a needle shape to increase its lethality," Cain suggested.

"Yadon!" (Slowking's cry)

Slowking immediately understood. His eyes glowed blue as he concentrated his vast psychic power. However, this power was dispersed, limiting its effectiveness.

Under Slowking's mental control, the psychic power began to compress, slowly forming a sharp cone of energy.

Despite the lack of experience with this technique, Slowking continued in the right direction.

When it was ready, he launched the energy cone at one of the strongest Sharpedo, second only to the leader.

This Sharpedo, level 34 with green-tier quality, could have been a nightmare for any psychic Pokémon if not for the Miracle Eye move.

In the blink of an eye, the energy cone struck the Sharpedo, which barely had time to react before being hit.

Boom!

The concentrated energy not only increased the attack's speed but also doubled its power.

The Sharpedo convulsed briefly before flipping its body over, knocked out like the Carvanha.

A Sharpedo defeated in a single attack by Slowking.

However, there was a drawback: the preparation for this type of attack was too slow. If the Sharpedo had known what Slowking was doing, it likely would have escaped.
