The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 72: Arranging the Ambush

With Little Diamond leading the way, the group successfully navigated the intricate tunnels and arrived at their clan's settlement. The sight that greeted them was breathtakingly beautiful.

A huge underground space, as big as several football fields, with pink gemstones covering the cave walls, shimmering with a dreamlike light in the dim light.

The gems varied in size, some as small as a fingernail and others as large as a fist, and were embedded in the rock face like stars in the sky.

These are all ores containing traces of fairy energy, and many of them are genuine "fairy gems".

"So beautiful!"

"No wonder this place can become a breeding ground for tiny diamonds; the fairy-attribute energy is indeed very concentrated."

Little Diamond gestured for the three to follow carefully, then led them stealthily into the pink gemstone ocean.

As soon as they entered the area illuminated by the pink light, they found several small diamonds huddled together, trembling, their brilliance dimmed, and the diamonds scattered and broken.

"What happened? Why were these tiny diamonds just ripped off like that?!"

"It must have been that Garchomp that did it; that kind of Pokémon loves shiny things."

Not to mention, the small diamonds contain abundant energy, and trainers with the means will have Tyranitar and Aggron consume them from a young age to enhance their strength.

However, there aren't many Pokémon in the world with teeth capable of swallowing small diamond fragments; Garchomp might be among them.

"Yo-yo~~"

At this moment, Little Diamond hopped over to its fellow creatures and asked them about their injuries with concern.

"My goodness, so many tiny diamonds! If our company could acquire all of them, wouldn't that be amazing?!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Don't you know that the League explicitly prohibits any individual or company from capturing large numbers of Pokémon in the same ecological niche or of the same species?"

Our company has operations in all regions, and we don't need this small profit. We certainly can't allow ourselves to be criticized for such a trivial matter.

Hearing Xiao Guang's description, Lin Ye couldn't help but gasp in amazement!

The diamonds in the small diamonds will fall off periodically, and so many small diamonds could produce an unknown number of diamonds, yet they have become a pittance in the young lady's mouth.

Of course, the sense of justice she mentioned earlier must be genuine.

Kengo muttered a few words but didn't say much. Instead, Gastly, with its large head, emerged from Lin Ye's shadow and said:

"Look at her, she's always like this, who could stand it?"

"What did Gastly say?"

"Jie..."

Before Gastly could speak, Lin Ye pressed its large head back into the shadows and said:

"It says your sense of justice shines brighter than the jewels around you!"

"Oh dear! It's not actually that good~"

"Yo-yo~~"

Little Diamond interrupted their rambling conversation, anxiously explaining that many of its brothers and sisters were being brutally humiliated by Garchomp, and hoped that Lin Ye and the others would act quickly to save Diamond!

In fact, before Lin Ye even approached this area, he had already scanned it from top to bottom with his mental power, which was comparable to that of a "professional" psychic Pokémon.

His mental scan did indeed detect an unfathomable aura.

He had only ever felt that immense and vast energy once before, since he transmigrated to this world, from the earth tortoise in the "retirement home" of the nature reserve.

Without a doubt, that Garchomp is right here, and it's a genuine "Gym Leader" level creature.

Lin Ye estimated that if he were to encounter such a terrifying being alone, he would definitely turn around and run without saying a word.

But now, he, Dawn, and Kengo are all here, and they all have "professional" Pokémon.

If they could mobilize the small diamond fragments in this area and then use skills that counter their elemental advantage, they would have a very good chance of winning. Therefore, they said:

"Let's get to know each other's Pokémon. This battle is extremely dangerous. Pokémon below the 'Pro' level shouldn't be used; the level difference is too great, and sending them in would just be suicide."

Xiao Guang nodded and threw out three Poké Balls in a row, releasing Mamoswine, Lobuck, and Empoleon—all of which were "professional" level Pokémon.

Especially Emperor Naboo, whose energy level seems very deep, much stronger than the one Kengo just had.

Kengo didn't want to listen to Lin Ye, but seeing that the young lady had already released all her Pokémon, he reluctantly released two Pokémon as well: the previous Empoleon and a fox-like Pokémon.

This fox stands on two legs, has a long beard, long and pointed ears, a broad and shiny forehead, a chest and shoulders that look like they are encased in brown armor, and brown parts similar to knee pads on its knees. It holds a spoon in each hand. It is Alakazam, a Psychic-type fox.

"Alright, all my 'pro' Pokémon are here. It's time for you to show off yours!"

Lin Ye called out softly, and the next moment, the Snow Fairy and the twin sword sheaths emerged from the shadows.

"You even have two 'professional' Pokémon! I didn't realize you had any skill."

At this moment, the three of them brought out a total of seven "professional-level" Pokémon, which greatly boosted their confidence.

With seven "professional" Pokémon working together, they should be able to barely compete with "Gym Leader" level Pokémon.

What's more, there are so many tiny diamonds to help, and their fairy attribute is very effective against dragon-type.

Not to mention, Froslass and Mamoswine's Ice-type moves are four times super effective against Garchomp, a Dragon/Ground type. No matter how tough the latter is, it will definitely be unable to withstand being hit a few times.

"Alright, now that the Pokémon participating in the battle have been determined, let me briefly outline the tactics!"

"Why should you be in charge of decorating?!"

"Kengo, let's not start any internal strife now!"

"Yes, I understand, Miss!"

"Our biggest advantage right now is that the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark. In a little while, we can have Little Diamond secretly contact its clan members and have them put on a show of infighting within the clan."

Garchomp will definitely intervene once it realizes this, so we should take the opportunity to ambush it, ideally by severely injuring it with an Ice-type move right from the start.

Froslass and Mamoswine are definitely no problem, but does Empoleon have any Ice-type moves?

"Don't worry, my Emperor Naboo has already mastered the 'Freeze Ray'."

Me too~~

"That's good. Now we have four Pokémon that can use Ice-type moves, which increases our chances of winning."

So Lin Ye quickly told the little diamonds about his tactical plan. After listening, they all nodded excitedly and jumped around to inform more of their clansmen.
