Pokémon: When the World Changed

Chapter 593 588: If I Can't Get It, I'll Destroy It

But what the hell was going on with that Vibrava?

Why didn't it show the slightest sign of fatigue?

And that speed... it didn't even show any signs of decreasing!

The situation was far too abnormal. Not only was it fast, but it also didn't seem to consume energy?

Could it be that this Vibrava was fake?

Was it actually a helicopter?

"What's going on with that Vibrava?"

At the same time, the examiner — the Pokémon police officer flying in front — was also closely observing the Vibrava that was following him from behind.

At that moment, even his Pidgeot had already begun to feel somewhat tired.

But that Vibrava did not show the slightest bit of fatigue!

Could it be that its endurance was even greater than Pidgeot's?

One had to know that his Pidgeot possessed genuine Quasi-Elite-level strength and, moreover, was especially skilled at flying.

Under those circumstances, it was hard for him to imagine that any Pokémon could follow his Pidgeot so easily... and even less so a Vibrava!

Not even an Elite-level Vibrava could achieve something like this!

"Wait... could it be wind control?"

Suddenly, the examiner seemed to realize something and began observing more carefully.

And the more he looked, the more surprised he became.

He discovered that Vibrava's flight seemed to rely entirely on the air currents generated by Pidgeot itself.

While flying, Pidgeot naturally produced a wake of air, although it was normally very weak.

But that Vibrava was able to perfectly master that current, riding on it and following closely behind.

It was as if Pidgeot were carrying Vibrava along, allowing it to maintain the speed while barely consuming any energy.

Thinking about this, the examiner could not help but gasp.

Using the airflow raised by Pidgeot to follow it while flying.

It sounded simple, but he knew the difficulty could not be summed up in just a few words.

Even he, a trainer specializing in Flying-type Pokémon at the Quasi-Elite level, could not accomplish something like that!

"Well, it seems he's discovered it."

Seeing the astonished expression on the examiner's face, Ethan smiled slightly.

It wasn't strange for him to be surprised. That level of airflow control was not something any Pokémon could achieve.

Ethan thought that although Vibrava's overall strength was still far from the Quasi-Elite or Elite level, when it came to wind control, he doubted that even Pokémon at that level could match it.

That technique had only become possible after fully developing the Levitate ability: a supreme technique!

"Hmm?"

"If you can't get it, you destroy it?"

Suddenly, Ethan was stunned.

He saw Pidgeot begin flapping its wings forcefully, generating violent gusts that disrupted the air currents behind it.

Ethan smiled helplessly.

"Looks like now we'll have to rely on ourselves. But since you want to cause me trouble... then don't blame me if I return the favor."

"Vibrava, use Tailwind!"

"Viiibbrraa!"

Upon hearing the order, Vibrava — which had stopped after it could no longer take advantage of the current — let out a cry.

With a powerful flap of its wings, a strong current of air surged forward.

At the same time, Vibrava propelled itself using the current generated by its own Tailwind move, once again chasing after Pidgeot.

Moreover, the effect of the move also benefited the Pokémon flying behind: they felt their bodies become lighter, their speed increased significantly, and flying became much easier.

"That's... Tailwind!"

The examiner was stunned.

Then he saw the Pokémon behind also accelerating noticeably, and his face darkened.

That Ethan was clearly returning the move to him, using a group acceleration technique.

With the help of the move Tailwind, the Pokémon seemed to have received an injection of adrenaline: they began rapidly closing the distance with Pidgeot.

"This is troublesome..."

The examiner scratched his head in annoyance.

Pidgeot was already quite exhausted and couldn't push out greater speed in a short time.

So he could only helplessly watch as the newly switched Pokémon — still full of energy — used Tailwind to get closer and closer.

"Ohhh, long live Vibrava!"

"It's amazing, it's way too strong! Waaaah, what a good person!"

Seeing that Vibrava had helped them with the move Tailwind, the aspirants were almost crying with excitement.

That was help at the most critical moment: an enormous favor.

"Well, well... then let's move on to the next phase of the exam."

Seeing the situation, the examiner shook his head helplessly.

He took out a Poké Ball and released a Blastoise.

Then he jumped onto its back and returned the exhausted Pidgeot to its Poké Ball.

"Look, the examiner changed Pokémon!"

"Great! We finally held on. Let's switch too!"

"This way our Flying Pokémon can recover as soon as possible."

Seeing this, the aspirants who were still holding on sighed in relief.

Without hesitation, they also released their aquatic mounts and returned their exhausted Flying Pokémon.

Little by little, everyone began moving while riding Water-type Pokémon, following the Blastoise that was leading the route.

After switching to water travel, the overall speed decreased, allowing some of the stragglers a chance to catch up.

In the end, only Ethan continued flying in the air on Vibrava, which attracted surprised looks from everyone.

"That Vibrava is way too strong."

"Our second flying mount is almost exhausted. Even the examiner's Pidgeot had to rest. But that Vibrava is still completely fine."

"Could it be stronger than the examiner's Pidgeot?"

The aspirants, ignorant of the true details, once again debated over the communicator. Vibrava's performance was simply terrifying.

Fortunately, the examiner did not hear their comments... otherwise, he probably would have spat blood from the shock.
