Chapter 791: Shedinja Vs....
The tier 3 king-rank Pokemon was primarily black and it somewhat resembled a cyclops. Its cylindrical head was light gray with a single eye that had a yellow iris and a red pupil. Its eyelid resembled a smiling mouth, with its red eye being a tongue. There was a yellow band near the top of its head and a short, yellow antenna with a disc-shaped tip extending from on top. Six flat projections extended from the base of its neck and surrounded its head, resembling an upturned collar. It had well-developed arms with two yellow bands near its wrists and large, gray hands. On the front of its torso were two almond-shaped markings, and on its back were two circular markings. Both sets of markings resembled eyes. A yellow band encircled its body, zigzagging along the front and forming a long curve around the back. It had a wispy tail in place of feet.
This was Dusknoir.
Dusknoir was the evolved form of Dusclops. It was a fairly powerful Pokemon and its evolved form had not been discovered yet by humans in this world.
But that didn't mean that the wild Dusknoir didn't exist. They were incredibly rare and their evolution condition must have been very tricky. Axel had come to realize that the requirements for evolution in the real world were slightly different from those in games and anime.
It was rumored that Dusknoir had to ability to open up a separate realm and then trap the souls of living being this realm. Of course, this was a rumor because a full case study of Dusknoir had not been done till now.
Axel already knew that this was going to be a very difficult battle and they didn't have much time. They needed to finish this Pokemon before all those enraged Pokemons came to attack them.
Axel looked at the stats of Dusknoir.

Pokemon Nickname: N/A

This was already a very powerful Pokemon but its moves were very simple. It only knew 2 new moves and one of them was a pre-domain move. But learning moves and new moves didn't always mean that the Pokemon was powerful.
And for some reason, Axel could tell that this was not a weak Pokemon at all.
While Axel was marveling at the stats of this Pokemon, Shedinja was getting ready for the attack.
It first used the move 'Shadow absorption' and increased its stats by 30%. This was not a small thing. Being a tier 3 king-rank Pokemon, its stats were already very high. An increase of 30% in stats for 5 minutes was a huge deal.
What was even more deadly was the reduction of Dusknoir's stats by 50% for 5 minutes.
After that, it used the move 'Substitute' as 3 substitutes came into being. Now, there were 4 Shedinja's and each of them had 3 'Shadow ball' hovering around them.
This was the upgraded version of the move 'Shadow ball' and they had become extremely powerful.
Then those 4 Shedinjas use the move 'Shadow interaction'. The move had also been upgraded recently and they now had a stronger grip and were more powerful.
Since 4 of them were using this move on a single opponent, the power of the move obviously very high.
Even though the substitutes only had 50% power, it was still a lot and with the 30% increase in their stats, they had become very powerful.
Those 20 seconds were over but now Dusknoir could not even more even if they wanted to. It was feeling extremely weak for some reason and it knew that it would have to use its ultimate moves as soon as possible.
But that was only possible if it could move and right now, it could not.
All of those Shedinja, Mia's Gengar and Mightyena, Alon's Krokodile, Gengar, Zoroark, and Dusclops used 'Shadow balls'.
But that was not all. All those captains that had king-rank Pokemons also used the move 'Shadow ball' on Dusknoir.
BOOM
BOOOM
BOOOM
BOOMMM
This might be the biggest explosion that Axel had ever seen in his life. The explosion was not very powerful but there were continuous explosions on a single point. And all of those explosions were from king-rank Pokemons.
It must be noted that Shedinja had already used 'Calm mind' and 'Agility' to the maximum and the power of the move was very high.
Nobody knew if the Pokemon was alive but they didn't need to guess for so long.
ROOOARRRR
It was a primal roar from a very powerful Pokemon. The roar was not only painful but also filled with anger and vengeance.
All the dust and smoke from the explosion dispersed as soon as it occurred. After that every one felt that their weight had increased to a very high degree.
BANG!!
BANG!!
BANG!!
All those captains and their Pokemons knelt down and now all of them were gritting their teeth. Even Axel, Mia, and Alon were also no exceptions.
Only the tier 2 king rank Pokemons were struggling and only Shedinja was the one who seemed that it was not effected much. It was still gritting its teeth but after a few seconds it's expression turned normal.
Meanwhile, Axel disappeared, and then Mia and then Alon. Alakazam was also there. It was only a tier 2 king rank Pokemon but it was on the verge of reaching tier 3. So, its stats were fairly high, and being a Pokemon of Axel's, its stats were naturally very high.
So, it used the move teleport to teleport all 3 of them one by one.
Dusknoir had used the move 'Gravity' and this move was very powerful. The area effect of this move was around 20-25 meters which was very wide and the concentration of gravity in that area had increased may be more than 15 times. That was huge. Even Shedinja could not achieve such a feat and it knew the move.
First of all, it was very suspicious that this Pokemon could learn this move as the Pokemon that could generally learn this move were very rare and very little.
But Axel didn't have the time to think about such things. He realized that this Pokemon was extraordinarily powerful.
Shedinja realized that all of them were in a very serious situation, so it used the move 'Shadow control'. Chains made out of pure ghost type energy came from its body and it bounded Dusknoir.
Dusknoir was a ghost-type Pokemon and it was highly affected by this move. And then suddenly,
BOOMMM!!!
Another explosion. This explosion was not as powerful as before but it was still very deadly. 4 pairs of these chains that had bounded Dusknoir had exploded. This was the upgraded function of the move.
Finally, Dusknoir could be seen properly. It was gravely injured from all of those attacks. It had blood all over its body and the color of its blood was purple which was very unusual.
After it suffered from the attack, it let off the move 'Gravity', and finally everyone could move. All of them called their Pokemons and started to run from that monstrosity.
All of this was planned by Axel. Even though these captains had king-rank Pokemons, Axel knew that they could only help in the initial situation. So, he had already told them to get away after using their attacks.
Dusknoir was extremely angry. It was just having a good sleep when suddenly it was captured, and now it was on the verge of dying. It only thought to participate in this tide battle because it was promised some resources that it was excited about.
Who would have thought that it would reach this stage? It knew that it might die right here, so it now wanted to do maximum damage.
It suddenly slipped into its shadow and disappeared. Shedinja immediately knew that it was using the move 'Shadow sneak'. It knew how tricky these moves could be because it also knew this move.
It used the move 'Shadow jump', an upgraded version of the same move to get farther away from this Pokemon.
Unlike other normal Pokemons, this Dusknoir seemed to know exactly who the original Shedinja really was. It was not that only the original used the move. To make the enemy confused, the substitutes also used the move 'Shadow jump' but Dusknoir's eyes were only on the original Shedinja.
For the first time, it shouted in a human voice,
"Hex No. 03, Constrict"
Suddenly, Shedinja felt that it just could not move. This terrified it cause its main stats was its speed.
"Now, 'Bind' and 'Imprison'", said Dusknoir with a smile. It was quite enjoying this.
For some seconds, it felt that it was facing a Shedinja from ancient times which terrified it to no end but then it started to calm down after it used the move 'Clam down' 3 times.
This Shedinja was far weaker than those Shedinja from ancient times. It just might have the chance to return back alive.
This 'Bind' was completely different from normal 'Bind'. Actually, all the moves that it had used till now were completely different from normal moves.
What was 'Hex No. 03, Constrict'?
Did that mean it had 'Hex No. 1 and 2' too? There were a lot of questions in Axel's mind but right now, he had to concentrate on the battle.
'Marcus use 'Switch'', said Axel telepathically.
It wanted to do it but it just could not move to use that move too. The Substitutes didn't know what to do either. They were rushing towards Dusknoir to protect it but the Pokemon was too fast for them.
"Let me show you, to use the move 'Shadow ball'", said Dusknoir, and then it gave a big roar.
A dark-colored aura, more sort of a barrier covered it, and then suddenly from that barrier, spinning 'Shadow balls' as big as watermelon came rushing towards Shedinja.
Shedinja was looking at its death in slow motion. Those barrage of 'Shadow ball' were coming towards it and it just could not do anything.
Alakazam was now ready to teleport near Shedinja and save its life.
'I have to do it.', it thought.
It just could not see its friend die in front of its eyes.
'No. I can do it.', came a voice and it knew whose voice it really was.
BOOOM
BOOOOM
This explosion was equal to or even bigger than the previous explosion. Axel just could not believe how a tier 3 king-rank Pokemon be so powerful.
Yet he sighed in relief looking at the result.
Dusknoir looked at the result of its move. The dust and debris took some time to settle but Dusknoir didn't have time to wait for those dust to settle. It gave a whip from its hand all the dust went out to the sky and disappeared. There were just numerous big holes and charred stones and rocks all around the explosion.
"So, you survived, huh?", asked Dusknoir looking at the explosion and then turned back.
Shedinja was targeting Dusknoir as it was behind Dusknoir. Just when it thought that it was going to die, for some reason, it felt that the concentration of 'Hex' diminished for a second and took the time to use the move 'Switch' and used its substitutes to replace it.
"You are a disappointment. I never thought that a member of a powerful species like yourself would be so weak in the present. It is really sad to see.", sighed Dusknoir.
"You don't have time to worry about that. You are going to die very soon.", replied Shedinja.
"Really? Do you really think that with your pitiful mastery over ghost-type core, you can defeat me?"
"Then why don't we try it?"
The remaining 2 substitutes started to rush towards Dusknoir with serious expression. Their speed was extremely fast for some reason.
One of them used the move 'Gravity' to suppress Dusknoir but the mastery of the move was not enough to keep it suppressed even for a single second.
