Pokémon: Chronicles of Freedom (200 - 398)

Chapter 364: Honchkrow

Under the system's scan, Murkrow's stats were skyrocketing at an incredible pace.

This wasn't just a fluctuation—Murkrow's data indicators were climbing exponentially.

Murkrow was evolving.

But on the other hand, Ursaring and Arbok could no longer hold their ground.

"Pinsir, use X-Scissor! Take down Ursaring first, then finish off Arbok. Once you get two boosts, your power will be overwhelming," Vexor laughed maniacally as he spoke.

What good was Murkrow's evolution? Could it stop him?

At this point, Haunter could have opted to swap Pinsir's ability, but it was trapped by Butterfree and couldn't break free.

Meanwhile, Ariados, powered up by Swords Dance, had defeated Alec's Golbat, and the other three Pokémon were also in dire straits.

However, thanks to Ponyta's fire-type moves and the presence of Shuckle—who had used Power Trick—these two Pokémon were holding the line. Golbat was secondary.

They could still hold on!

But Slowpoke, under Beedrill's relentless attacks, had no speed advantage and could only escape using Teleport.

However, it couldn't teleport near the other Pokémon, as Beedrill would abandon its pursuit and attack the others instead.

Pinsir let out a mighty roar, using X-Scissor to defeat the exhausted Ursaring, leaving a large cross-shaped scar on its chest. Not only its eyes but also its body bore numerous scars.

With its Moxie ability boost, Pinsir felt its power surge once again, and Arbok could no longer hold it back.

Vexor adjusted his glasses slightly and smiled. "Beedrill, stop chasing Slowpoke, let it rest for a bit. First, team up with Pinsir and finish off Arbok."

The battle's balance was tipping.

But at that moment...

The black cocoon surrounding Murkrow began to reveal its form.

No, it could no longer be called Murkrow—it had to be called...

Honchkrow.

"Graah!"

Honchkrow felt the immense energy coursing through its body—something it had never experienced before. It was as if an endless reservoir of power had been unlocked within it.

The weight device it used to carry now meant nothing to it.

A typical Honchkrow's size should be around ninety centimeters, but Cain's Honchkrow, after evolving, had reached a height of one hundred fifty centimeters. Its extended wings made it even more imposing.
