Just at this moment, a huge light cover woven from light yellow electric-type energy suddenly appeared on the periphery of this Swampert camp.
That light cover, like a mysterious shield, stood quietly there, emitting a powerful electric-type energy fluctuation that made people palpitate.
This electric-type energy was unusually active and violent, like agile lightning dragons, wantonly shuttling inside the light cover. Every surge of energy brought a burst of light and a faint crackling sound, making people shudder.
In the very center of this Divine Beast Field, the middle-aged man had been looking at the nearly lifeless Shiny Elgyem, assessing its injuries, and contemplating a treatment plan for it.
However, he was troubled by the lack of medical equipment to maintain the patient's bodily functions; even with a complete treatment plan in mind, it couldn't be implemented.
“This is the only way for now,” he muttered, then pulled a Poké Ball from his waist and tossed it into the air.
A flash of white light revealed a rodent Pokémon about one meter tall. It was entirely orange, with beige hands and tail. It had a tuft of fur on its head, and the insides of its ears were dark green. This was Pawmot, the final evolution of the Gen 9 electric rodent.
Pawmot not only had electric sacs on its cheeks but also Discharge organs in the pads of its hands. However, the electric sacs on its cheeks were not yet fully developed, so it had to rub the pads of its front paws vigorously to generate electricity. The soft fur covering its entire body was not only very cold-resistant but also had the ability to store electricity.
Pawmot’s body communicated with the electric-type energy within the Divine Beast Field, flickering with faint currents, like tiny stars in the night sky.
The man standing nearby ordered without hesitation, “Pawmot, start casting Revival Prayer!”
Hearing its master's command, Pawmot's nimble big eyes blinked, then it obediently clasped its two chubby little paws together and carefully placed them in front of its soft chest, assuming a standard prayer pose. It closed its eyes tightly, mumbling to itself, seemingly communicating with some mysterious power.
As time passed, a faint glow gradually emanated around Pawmot. This light, like warm sunlight, spread around, making people feel a strange sense of peace and tranquility.
Revival Prayer is a Normal-type status move. By praying with a heart of compassion, it revives a fainted Pokémon from the reserves with half its HP restored.
This was a brand new revival skill introduced in Gen 9. It has no negative effects on the user. In the game, its PP is only 1, meaning it can only be used once in battle.
However, in reality, the restrictions on Revival Prayer are much greater. First, only two Pokémon can learn Revival Prayer. Besides Pawmot, Rabsca, also introduced in Gen 9, can learn it.
Therefore, these two Pokémon are among those sought after by most medical personnel and Trainers, and their Pokémon Eggs have been sold at exorbitant prices.
Secondly, Revival Prayer can only be used again after a period of rest, and it requires very high qualifications from the user. It’s impossible for a Gym level Pokémon to revive a Champion level or higher Pokémon that is near death.
After Pawmot cast Revival Prayer, the life force of the Shiny Elgyem lying on the ground visibly began to condense. However, its wounds did not heal, and blood was still slowly flowing from the holes caused by the Evil-type move Crunch.
“Pawmot, that’s enough.”
After hearing its master's command, Pawmot stopped casting the move. The fine sweat on its forehead and its trembling fur showed how much mental exhaustion this move had caused it, but the electric-type energy in this Divine Beast Field had been nourishing its body, so its current condition was still good.
And in the center of this light cover, the elegant middle-aged man was still frowning, his gaze heavy as he scanned the surrounding environment, muttering to himself, “Elgyem’s life signs are stable today. The sanitary conditions here are too poor; they simply cannot meet the strict requirements for surgical operations!” After speaking, he shook his head helplessly.
Immediately after, the middle-aged man seemed to have thought of something. He turned his head and picked up the Premier Ball that was lying nearby.
Then, he gently stroked the surface of the ball and said to it, “Ah Meng, it’s up to you now. Increase the output of electric-type energy even more and do your best to purify the air here. We need to create a relatively sterile environment within this Divine Beast Field to perform this crucial surgery.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Premier Ball, which was originally milky white, instantly burst into dazzling golden-yellow light. Thick streams of electric-type energy surged out from within the ball like a raging torrent, continuously injecting into the surrounding air.
Wherever these electric-type energies passed, the air seemed to ignite, emitting faint crackling sounds.
Listening carefully, one could hear a sound as if something was being intensely burned and reduced to ashes.
As time passed, more and more electric-type energy permeated the entire space. They intertwined and merged, forming a dense Electric Net that firmly trapped all bacteria and harmful substances within it.
Under this powerful electric-type energy shock, those tiny bacteria were completely annihilated in an instant.
The elegant man, wearing white medical rubber gloves, pulled out a small surgical box and performed a series of disinfection, removal of decayed parts, suturing, medication, and bandaging on the Elgyem on the ground. The Elgyem’s injuries had been treated by this skilled medical practitioner.
“Phew,” the man exhaled a breath of turbid air and picked up the Elgyem Poké Ball that had fallen from Dr. Chen Chunjiang’s pocket when he was tied up nearby.
With a light press of the switch, a red light drew the now bandaged Elgyem into the ball. The man said to the ball, “Sleep well. I will take you to find your master.”
He then turned to Pawmot and said, “You rest well too.”
A red light flashed, and Pawmot was also recalled into its ball. The Premier Ball, which had opened a slight gap and emitted the power of a Divine Beast, slowly closed as well.
“Liziji, fortunately, you didn’t harm the Doctor or his Pokémon, otherwise, it would have been your death sentence just now. You are also fighting for a Divine Beast for your son, and I am also fighting for my child. So, let’s see who is stronger now.”
In fact, this man had been following behind Liziji and witnessed all of his actions in ambushing the Doctor, but he did not intervene. Liziji also did not cross this man’s bottom line; as long as he didn’t go for a kill, he wouldn’t make a move.
