Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic (Part I)

0082 White Serpent vs Bug Pokemon - Breath Snatcher!

A boom rang out as Kai got sent flying back, his chest caved as if a hammer had struck him.

He gulped down the blood rising in his throat and noticed the 20% drop in his HP. Despite the Fear Absorption Ability increasing his HP and MP Regeneration Rates, his HP was still slowly falling, struggling to come to an equilibrium.

What a powerful move! Kai exclaimed, coming to a stop in midair. It's not just the move, though. The beast itself is too fast, making it impossible to dodge someone with my Agility. Tch!

There was another thing that bothered Kai.

With his habit and need of fighting with much stronger opponents, his Elementary Fear Absorption had been having a hard time catching up to the massive damage dealt to him in a battle. If his HP Regeneration Rate at least didn't counter the decrement rate, then there was no point in having it, anyway. More often than not, it was these little things that contributed to the outcome of a battle.

Kai suddenly remembered absorbing his fear and took solace in that memory.

With Advance Emotions Manipulation, all he could do for now was to lock his emotions and devour hope and happiness while simultaneously spreading despair. If he could control each of his emotions individually, then he could endlessly exploit the Fear Absorption Ability.

Still, if he had to make a guess, then it wouldn't happen until he leveled up his Emotions Manipulation to Master Ability and his Fear Absorption to Advance.

Moreover, if Kai wanted to end the fight, then he could have already ended it, not giving the guard any chance to take out the Pokemon. However, that would have gone against the point, though. Kai had always learned and improved in real scenarios, not in a training ground. A fight against a Pokemon was exactly what he needed to confirm his shortcomings and their plausible solutions.

Kai noticed his HP bar rising again and took a deep breath, bringing his thoughts back to the fight. There's no winning such fights if I can't bridge the gap between my and the target's Agility... Or...

With one hit successful, the Bug Pokemon buzzed, its speed a blur. It made a roundabout in the air and flew toward the dark, foul creature with another burst of its glowing wings.

Two long katanas appeared in Kai's hands, reptilian eyes blinking on their flat sides.

Mid-level Uncommon Items - Fangs!

"Careful, Yanma!" the guard shouted, too engrossed and concerned to run away and look for help.

Yanma let out a buzz. The moment the Pokemon tilted its body and slammed its right wing again at the same spot, Dementor-Kai lifted his swords and hacked at the wing.

Bang!

Both got thrown back with almost equal force. But the Pokemon recovered faster, almost blurring out of sight with its superior speed.

"Yanma, finish it!" the guard commanded excitedly. "Use Ancient Power!"

Yanma's wings let out a blinding burst of light as it buzzed monstrously. A see-through image of another Yanma appeared in front of it before it spun on itself and became a silver-gray ball of energy. Then, with great force, the Pokemon threw it toward the dark creature.

-Haha!- Kai hissed a ghostly, rattling laugh.

White...

50 HP and 100 MP disappeared instantaneously. The two swords in Kai's swords swelled, becoming five times their size.

Under the stunned gazes of both Pokemon and the Pokemon Trainer, Kai crossed the massive Katanas and brought them up. The silver-gray ball of energy landed right between where the two swords crossed.
