Pokemon Dawn

After the smoke dissipated, Ladybug An was hovering precariously in the air, her body covered with scars made by sharp rock blades.

For ladybugs with both insect and flying attributes, rock-type attacks are quite fatal. Even if they are not powerful, they are enough to cause a blow that cannot be ignored to the small insect that does not have enough physical strength.

Invisible Rock...when exactly?

Tongye quickly replayed every scene of the previous battle in his mind, and almost immediately locked on the seemingly meaningless rock collapse of the Fire-breathing Camel when the Rainwing Moth first appeared. Only then would it have the opportunity to secretly bury its invisibility on the field.

Yan, it's just that the fire-breathing camel's movements were too subtle, and even Tong Ye couldn't detect the clues.

Unlike most young trainers, Kiriha is used to frequently exchanging Pokémon in non-solo matches, and the rapid changes in tactics often confuse opponents. However, Keiji knows that Kiriha's exchanges most of the time are not

It's out of tactical considerations, just out of consideration and not wanting the Pokémon to get too tired.

What is undeniable is that the tactical changes brought about by well-timed and precise exchanges are indeed difficult to deal with. Therefore, the primary goal of Keiji's fire-breathing camel leader is to block the "exchange" - he knows that Kiriha is ambushing the field.

If the Invisible Rock is removed, Pokémon will never be injured due to frequent exchanges.

The obvious intention of targeting did not make Tongye confused. He just frowned and then ordered, "Sonic punch."

The ladybug's wings vibrated at high speed, propelling it to quickly approach its opponent. Kyoji's command also arrived immediately, "Take root."

Mengge Cactus's feet stepped on the ground, and its powerful roots protruded from the soles of the feet and were buried deep into the ground, transporting nutrients to the Pokémon that controlled them. Ladybug An's fist came with the strong wind, Mengge

Cactus had no time to respond with more moves, so she had to cross her arms and block the punch.

Taking root made its lower body more stable than before. Ladybug An's sonic punch only shook its figure and did not suffer much damage. The energy was transmitted from the root system to the body of the Mengsong Cactus, shrouding it in a hazy

In the light spot, the lost physical strength was replenished in a few breaths.

Tongye was slightly startled. He was very familiar with the Mongolian Cactus, which was the main force of Kyōji when he traveled in Hoenn, but in his impression, this Pokémon had not learned to take root. It was a new Pokémon that learned from the leader of Rika.

Law? Or... a tactic specially studied for him?

During the brief pause in Tongye's instructions, the Mengge cactus had already launched a large number of poisonous needles. The ladybug lightly drew irregular curves in the air, avoiding the sharp needles leaking with poison.

"Insect chirp."

"Energy ball."

Keiji's command came out immediately after Kiriha's voice. The chirping of insects collided with the green energy ball, causing a small explosion with equal power. Insect-type moves should have overwhelmingly restrained grass-type moves.

Not only Keiji, but also the audience also saw the weakness of Kiriha's Pokémon in terms of attack power. Compared with his ability in tactical layout, which was not inferior to that of the No. 1 seed, many people were puzzled.

The whispers began.

Before the smoke and dust cleared, Tongye said decisively, "Move at high speed!"

Although he prefers long-distance combat to close combat, Kiriha knows that the pace of long-range combat is too slow and cannot break through Keiji's defense line. The only way to win is close combat.

Mengge Cactus once again launched poisonous needles continuously. With the blessing of high-speed movement, Ladybug An became as light as a swallow, easily leaving the poisonous needles' line of fire behind, and rushed to Mengge after a few sharp turns.

Behind the Song Cactus.

The Meng Song Cactus couldn't move freely after using the roots, and An Ladybug's fists had already lit up with orange light. Before the powerful fist fell on the vital part of the Meng Song Cactus, Jingji's steady voice reached the treasure in time.

Ke Meng's ears.

"Spike Defense."

The timing of his instructions was extremely precise. Ladybug An's fist was already hard to hold back. The spikes on the Mengge Cactus suddenly stretched out, and the entire body turned into a huge thorn ball. Ladybug An was also inflated.

The sharp spikes flew out, making a painful cry.

Tongye immediately noticed that something was wrong with Ladybug An's state. The spike defense would hurt the attacking Pokémon, but Ladybug An's appearance was not just injured. Looking closely, she saw that its movements were a little weak, and its face

There was a faint purple glow - there was no doubt that Ladybug An was in a state of poisoning.

Tongye glanced at the Mengge Cactus with a surprised look, and then froze.

"Let's zoom in and observe the Mengge Cactus - it's obvious that the spikes all over its body are soaked in venom, so the ladybugs that are stung will be poisoned!" The sudden abnormality made the commentator's voice become excited.

, "This is not a complicated technique. As long as the last step of launching the poison needle is omitted when using the poison needle, the poison will naturally stay on the surface of the spike. However, there is a huge risk in doing so-"

Mengsong cactus itself can also be poisoned.

When the commentator stretched out his tone, Tongye had already come to a conclusion in his mind.

Mengsong Cactus did not show any sign of weakness, but Tongye knew that any grass-type Pokémon would not be immune if its skin was contaminated with venom for a long time. And Kyoji would not hesitate to poison Mengsong Cactus to set up such a trap.

The reason for the trap... he also knew very well.

"Wow, this is simply the naked bullying of the breeder by the trainer." Xiaojie, who was watching the battle, sighed.

Several children have already guessed Kyoji's intentions. Mengsong Cactus is a Pokémon with amazing endurance that lives in the desert. As Kyoji's main force, it must have rich combat experience, and it can still exert a solid performance even if it is injured.

Combat power. Moreover, taking root in the Mengge cactus continuously replenishes its physical strength, and the toxins will not cause it to collapse in a short period of time.

Tongye has always specialized in breeding. Although she has used various care methods to cultivate Pokémon with strong physical strength and excellent physical fitness, most of their poor combat experience is probably due to the trainer's tactics and hypnotic paralysis.

It is really rare to wait for the opponent to be defeated without taking any damage and fight through the pain.

Therefore, after being poisoned, Ladybug An, who had previously shown superb maneuverability, almost immediately revealed numerous flaws. If both sides continued to waste away like this, Mengsong Cactus would definitely have the upper hand.

"Tongye doesn't look like a trainer who likes fighting. Why on earth would he join the Quartz Alliance?" Xiaoling asked confused. She only felt that although the young man with long dark green hair in the field gave orders calmly, he was exuding...

The "I don't want to fight" vibe.

"I remember Kiriha said it was because of a friend's request." Xiaoye thought for a while and replied, "That 'friend' should be Mr. Keiji."

The expressions of the golden retriever siblings became even more confused. They had no idea why Kyoji invited his breeder friend to participate in a competition that was not professionally related. There was no doubt why Kiriha agreed, with his soft temper.

The type who is not good at rejecting others.

Xiaotian, who was sitting on the far right, accidentally raised his head and glanced at the person next to him, only to find that his father's expression seemed a little strange. The silver-haired young man frowned slightly, seemingly just watching the game intently, but the arc from his neck to his back was...

The floor was already straightened subconsciously. Xiao Tian knew that it was the attitude his father would have when he was suspicious of something or on guard against something.

Following Xinghai's line of sight into the field, Xiaotian's attention lingered on the young man's long dark green hair for a moment, and his heart suddenly felt cold.

Could it be that……

The brief moment when Xiaotian's expression became solemn did not escape the eyes of his neighbors. The purple-haired girl's eyes flickered, but she said nothing, and soon joined the chatter of the other two friends again.

After realizing that Ladybug An was in a poisoned state, Tongye was silent for only a few seconds and then decisively ordered, "Continuous punches!"

Ladybug An cheered up and rushed towards her opponent with her fists waving.

"Poison needle."

"Mysterious Guardian!"

Mengge Cactus once again released dense poisonous needles. This time Ladybug An did not take a detour to avoid it, but directly swung out a very fast fist. The mysterious guardian isolated the toxins, and only the weak stabs of the thin needles could not stop An.

Ladybug, it rushed straight away, its sonic punch ready to strike.

"Spiked defense——"

"Move at high speed!"

The venom-covered spikes of the Mengge cactus extended again. This time, Tong Ye was not hit again, and used timely judgment to guide Ladybug An to avoid the dangerous sting. Ladybug An, flying at full speed, almost left an afterimage.

, turned around and spit out a buzz of insects towards the Mengge Cactus. Jingji's reaction was equally quick, the energy ball collided with the buzz of insects, and smoke and dust rose up again.

Of course, Tongye didn't expect the long-range attack to hit the Mengge Cactus. Under the cover of the light and shadow of the collision of moves, Ladybug An had already bullied her again.

"Sonic Punch."

"Spiked Arm."

With the bonus of high-speed movement, the punch shadow of Sonic Punch was as fast as a laser. After Mengge Cactus took a hit, it immediately used its spiked arm to resist Ladybug An's second punch. In the sound of the collision of gold and iron,

The force of the swing of his arm knocked the short Ladybug An away.

The people watching the battle held their breaths. The battle rhythm between Tongye and Kyoji was not very fast on weekdays, but the current confrontation was becoming more and more intensive. Even Xiaoye and Xiaotian, who were most familiar with Tongye, had not seen him.

Playing so eagerly.

When traveling in the Hoenn region, Tongye watched Kyoji subdue the spiny ball cactus with her own eyes. Naturally, she also knew that it had extremely strong endurance and was better at using toxins to hunt than other members of its species. If he continued to slowly circle around and test

If so, Ladybug An will soon be overwhelmed by the poisoned state, and she must quickly break through the defense line of Mengsong Cactus here.

But his opponent Kyoji's command was almost flawless. Kiriha's usual interference skills were blocked without fail, and the timing of using spikes to defend was also extremely precise. Every sharp blade coated with venom was a threat to An Ladybug.

It's a huge threat.

Soon, the toxins and battle fatigue caused Ladybug An's condition to plummet. Its movements became slower and slower, and the strength of its punches gradually weakened. Mengsong Cactus, which had also lost a lot of physical strength, still exerted a stable combat effectiveness——

If you ignore the complex tactical struggles during this period, this is almost like a crushing of newcomers by veterans on the battlefield.

Within a few minutes, the attacking party had exhausted its strength.

"Ladybug An has lost her ability to fight, and Mengsong Cactus wins. Player Tongye is asked to exchange Pokémon——"

====================

small theater:

The brief moment when Xiaotian's expression became solemn did not escape the eyes of his neighbors. The purple-haired girl's eyes flickered, but she said nothing, and soon joined the chatter of the other two friends again.

Xiaoye: Why does Xiaotian look a little nervous... Could it be that he is already worried about the next battle with Greyhound? I, should I just shout "Come on" from now on? (Fang)
