Chapter 290 Punch to the Flesh

"Gardevoir?"

"Is this a Pokémon that a new trainer should have?"

"Is this the resource of the alliance's direct trainers?"

"So elegant~ Still weird~"

The auditorium was silent at first, and then became lively in an instant.

A painter in his thirties who wore glasses held a large drawing board and stared at Gardevoir without saying a word and without blinking.

The pencil in his hand was rubbing against the drawing board.

It stands to reason that although Gardevoir is extremely rare, it is not enough to make them so excited... But as the first gym here, we usually see Pokémon such as Rabbits and Chickadees, fighting against them. It's like playing house, although it's quite interesting, it's never enough...

Where can a lineup like Gardevoir vs. Cunning Tengu be so eye-catching?

Xu Qiansu couldn't help rubbing her brows as she listened to the noise in the audience.

Although he doesn't hate Pokémon battles, he doesn't have much interest in them either. He's just in the indifferent stage of 'anything is fine'.

Challenging the gymnasium was, firstly, to make myself worthy of Cattleya, secondly, to accompany Miss Mali, and thirdly, to satisfy the expectations of little master Caidou.

Therefore, whether the audience praises him or belittles him, he only feels noisy.

"Gardevoir~" Gardevoir turned slightly and looked sideways at Xu Qiansu.

Xu Qiansu shook his head gently, now was not the time for him to think about this.

Gardevoir smiled charmingly and nodded slightly, meaning 'I will definitely win. ’

She turned around and looked at the cunning tengu who was dozens of meters away from her. The smile on her little face faded and turned serious.

Her Pokémon instinct told her that this cunning tengu was dangerous.

In Gardevoir's mind, there is a division of power among the Pokémon he has seen.

The first level is undoubtedly Zhulan’s biting land shark, Pokkisi and other unreachable mountains.

The second level is Morubeko's level, although he will be in a tough battle, he can still win two out of ten battles, and with some luck, he can barely have a winning rate...

As for the third level... with a 70% winning rate, Gardevoir won't take them seriously... they're just bidders.

And this cunning tengu clearly belongs to the second gear... After all, this is the lineup Yaluo used to challenge for the Champions League final.

The training time alone is older than Gardevoir's age... Although Gardevoir is extremely talented, the cunning Tengu's accumulation over the years cannot be easily caught up by Gardevoir.

Even if this cunning tengu knows how to let off steam, it's impossible for Gardevoir to win easily... but it doesn't matter.

Gardevoir concentrated on sensing the movements of the cunning tengu.

She also has a trainer, and her trainer is no worse than anyone else... Gardevoir has unconditional trust in Xu Qiansu.

The two Pokémon stood opposite each other, but neither one made the first move, but silently observed the other's movements.

A solemn and oppressive atmosphere gradually lingered above, and the audience couldn't help but become quiet. Everyone was staring at this extremely rare 'high-end game'.

Finally, a child with a lollipop in his mouth sat in his mother's arms, looking at the battlefield below, sniffing and sneezing.

At this moment, Yaluo moved.

He waved his hand suddenly, "Ye Ren!"

The moment the word 'leaf' was revealed, the cunning tengu bent his knees slightly, and then stepped forward violently. The grass instantly made a muffled sound, and some cracks appeared on the surface along with the splashing soil.

The distance of a hundred meters passed in an instant. Xu Qiansu only felt a flash of green light, and the cunning tengu had already arrived behind Gardevoir.

As soon as its front foot touches the ground, its body bends slightly, twisting its waist and abdomen like a tight long bow. The leaf blade carries green light, like a sharp sword out of the body and swipes towards Gardevoir's back from bottom to top. go.

With such ghostly speed, Yaluo really shows mercy! ?

"Rear right!"

Xu Qiansu's reaction was not unpleasant, and he immediately spoke to remind him.

There was a chill on the back. Even though Gardevoir had released all his mental power to sense it before, it was one thing to sense it, and another thing to be able to react to it.

Gardevoir disappeared instantly, but appeared behind the cunning Tengu...

Teleport!

At the speed of the cunning tengu, if it weren't for teleportation, it would be impossible for Gardevoir to avoid the leaf blade.

Yaluo was slightly startled. Pokémon like Gardevoir were most afraid of close combat. How could they teleport behind the cunning Tengu?

But the situation didn't give Yalo much time to react.

"Ku..." The cunning tengu didn't look back. Following the inertia of the leaf blade, he stepped on the ground with one foot and used it as the starting point to spin suddenly. The other hand lit up with a green light, obviously intending to use the continuous Fighting instead of defending, defeated Gardevoir in one go.

The whole movement was smooth and fluid, with no feeling of obstruction. It was obvious that he had extremely rich combat experience.

Snapped.

But Gardevoir refused to dodge, and actually stepped forward. Taking advantage of the slight distance, he slightly bent his forearm and directly touched the cunning Tengu's wrist with his elbow.

The Cunning Tengu may be stronger than Gardevoir, but with his wrist held up, it is obviously difficult to exert force in this position, and it is naturally difficult for the leaf blade to hit.

Gardevoir turned his wrist slightly and turned to hold the cunning tengu's wrist.

The Cunning Tengu was slightly startled. It had fought against Pokémon like Gardevoir many times, and quick attack at close range was the best strategy, but...but why was this Gardevoir different?

A surging flame instantly appeared on Gardevoir's little hand, rising in the wind, and the scorching temperature interrupted the cunning Tengu's thinking.

"Seed machine gun!" Yaluo ordered slightly anxiously from behind him.

boom!

But before the sound came, the flame fist had already hit the face of the cunning tengu from top to bottom. The surging hot flames even passed directly through the cunning tengu's head and shot straight to the grass, causing a wave to appear on the ground. Large areas were burnt black. .

"Ku!" The Cunning Tengu was a little confused. It was already twice suppressed by the fire element, and now it felt uncomfortable to be hit on the head like this.

A strong wind blew up, and the aftermath blew up the bangs on Xu Qiansu's forehead.

"Right leg." He said calmly.

Right leg? What's the meaning?

Gardevoir raised his foot slightly, and then his slender calf suddenly struck the cunning tengu's right leg.

"Ku!" The cunning tengu immediately shrank his pupils and knelt on one knee in pain.

"How could he know... the cunning tengu's old injuries?" Yaluo looked at Xu Qiansu in disbelief.

The cunning Tengu has been fighting for Yaluo for many years, and he has taken good care of himself after every battle, so he has not left any hidden wounds. However... four months ago, he was defeated by Mali in the final of the last Champions League. At the hands of brother Nie Zi, the cunning tengu's right leg was seriously injured at that time.

Now that he has been recuperating for so long, it no longer affects the battle...but he has not fully recovered, and it is still easy to cause problems if he is deliberately targeted.

You must know that Nie Zi's strength is basically the same among the gym leaders in Galar, and because he does not rely on Dynamax, the single strength of Pokémon is already stronger than that of other gyms. Lord... so the injuries caused to the cunning tengu were naturally more serious.

But how could Xu Qiansu know such private information?

His waveguide power... can't be used just to talk to Pokémon.

One of the characteristics of the power of waveguide is its extremely meticulous observation ability.

Gardevoir looked down at the half-kneeling cunning Tengu, and soon his little hand lit up with fire again.

boom!

The cunning tengu felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. Following the force, his body slammed onto the grass. In an instant, the ground cracked, dirt flew, and smoke flew everywhere.

Facing a powerful enemy like the cunning Tengu, Gardevoir naturally cannot show mercy.

"The cunning tengu... is actually at a disadvantage?"

"Hiss! This Gardevoir...is it an Alejandro wearing a Gardevoir holster!? Why does she hit people with her fists!?"

"Is this Gardevoir a male or a female!?"

"But so strong~"

The venue instantly became noisy, and the words were filled with disbelief.

Lillie held the hem of her skirt tightly with her little hands and looked at the field with her big eyes without blinking.

Both fire punches hit the target, and also caused the old injury of the cunning tengu. Seeing that the situation was looking good, Xu Qiansu was not happy and immediately reminded: "Behind!"

boom!

As he finished speaking, the grass behind Gardevoir suddenly burst out with cracks. Immediately, the cunning tengu suddenly burst out of the ground. Most of its long white hair on the temples became charred black, but its expression was cold, just like the two previous flames. The punch did no harm to it at all.

Whether a Pokémon like this has been battle-tested for a long time is not strong, but at least... each one has thick skin and thick flesh, and is very resistant to beatings.

"A million-ton kick!" Yaro shouted loudly, with a smile on his face.

Since your Gardevoir is good at close combat, then I will use close combat!

"Ku!" The cunning tengu stepped hard with one foot, and the other leg was like a long whip, carrying a huge force and kicking from the side.

A golden light flashed in Gardevoir's eyes, and he wanted to use teleportation...but thinking about the consumption of teleportation, if the cunning tengu used teleportation to dodge every time he attacked, his mental power would definitely be exhausted. Defeated without any chance of fighting back.

Thinking of this, Gardevoir suddenly turned around, stretched out his little hand, and a light green barrier appeared in front of him...

Hold on!

The million-ton heavy kick and guard collided head-on, and the next moment it crackled like a light green barrier, full of spiderweb-like cracks.

Gardevoir didn't hesitate, and his slender waist suddenly leaned back.

But in the next moment, the barrier he was holding was completely broken, and the cunning tengu's million-ton kick suddenly passed in front of Gardevoir. The strong wind made Gardevoir's hair fly.

"Oh! What a graceful figure!" The young woman painter's hand moved faster on the drawing board, and there was a constant soft rustling sound.

When Gardevoir leaned back, he saw that the cunning Tengu had adjusted his posture, his hands were glowing with green light, and two blades were slashing at him one after another.

Upon seeing this, Gardevoir did not hesitate to press down, almost lying on the grass. Only then did she avoid the blades, and then the next moment she held her hands on the ground, her soft body slightly raised as if dancing, her hands The legs were slightly bent, and then both feet kicked hard on the cunning tengu's chest like springs.

Bang bang!

The Cunning Tengu was knocked out of his body by Gardevoir's kick. Immediately, Gardevoir slammed the ground with one hand, turning himself sideways, and used the other hand as a support. With the force of rotation, he took advantage of the Cunning Tengu's body. At this moment of pause, he suddenly kicked the cunning tengu in the right leg again.

Another attack on an old wound!

While the cunning tengu was in pain, he followed the force of Gardevoir's side kick and couldn't help but fly upside down in the air.

"What a vigorous sense of strength!" The young female painter looked at Gardevoir without blinking.

"Seed machine gun!" Yaro smiled even more happily, knowing that his cunning tengu could not defeat Gardevoir in close combat, so he shouted loudly.

Clearly enjoying this Pokémon battle.

"Fire Fist!"

Gardevoir's other hand used a slight push, and he stood on the grass. Then he twisted his waist and abdomen, and the red flames drew a semicircle in the air with her as the origin, and then slashed at the figure and flew through the air. The cunning Tengu rises above the waist and abdomen.

But it's more like a flaming knife than a flaming fist.

boom!

The scattered air was filled with extremely hot sparks.

The cunning Tengu instantly flew backwards into the distance like an arrow from the string, but as it flew backwards, it suddenly spat out hundreds of seed machine guns, each carrying emerald-green tail flames and shooting towards Gardevoir like meteors. Shooting.

At this moment, Gardevoir's old strength had just left, and new strength had not yet emerged, so it was impossible for him to have any remaining strength to dodge, so he had to hold his hands in front of him and use his mental strength to resist this seed machine gun as much as possible.

Bang bang bang!

Half of the seed machine guns were blocked in the air by Gardevoir's mental power, but the other half hit her mercilessly.

Until this moment, the cunning tengu hit the grass, slid back a few meters, and then suddenly bounced up from the ground, standing still on the spot, panting heavily.

Gardevoir put down his hand and couldn't help but caress the place where he was hit by the seed machine gun...

It hurts~

Gardevoir looked back at Xu Qiansu, looking very aggrieved and pitiful.

Anyone who sees it will feel that the cunning tengu is nothing.

But before Xu Qiansu spoke, the audience couldn't sit still.

"Hey! Cunning Tengu, how can you, a Pokémon that has been around for so many years, have the nerve to fight Gardevoir with all your strength!?"

"This is a gym challenge! Shouldn't you let it go!?"

"Hiss! What's wrong with you, Cunning Tengu!? Isn't the strength shown by Gardevoir not enough to get the grass badge!? Surrender quickly!"

Since Arlo is a very popular and approachable gym leader, the audience did not mention Arlo at all and only picked on the cunning Tengu.

Gardevoir looked at Xu Qiansu aggrievedly, holding his little hands gently, meaning, 'After the battle, can I take a bath? ’

Gardevoir obviously enjoyed taking a bath with Xu Qiansu.

It was impossible for Xu Qiansu not to agree to such a small request from her Pokémon.

Gardevoir pursed his lips and smiled, then looked back at the cunning tengu, his aggrieved expression instantly turned cold.

"Ku?" The cunning tengu was stunned, completely unable to understand what humans were thinking.

This, what does this have to do with it! ? And it was obviously the party that was beaten the worst! ?

And look at that Gardevoir!

How pitiful is she! ?

Yaluo didn't care at all. He grinned and said bluntly: "You are worthy of being Caidou's disciple. In terms of close combat alone, my Pokémon cannot compare to you."

"But in Pokémon battles, you can't just specialize in one aspect." As he spoke, Arlo raised his hand slightly and pointed to the sky.

Xu Qiansu raised his eyes and saw that the sun was shining brightly in the sky above the open-air battlefield, and the sun was shining down.

……Sunny day.

Unexpectedly, the cunning Tengu had used his skills to change the weather and gain the advantage of the field.

when? At least it wasn't when Gardevoir was acting coquettishly just now.

Yaluo just pretended to use close combat to lower Xu Qiansu's vigilance, but he was actually doing two things, secretly preparing for a sunny day?

It should be true, otherwise, the Cunning Tengu would not have been completely crushed by Gardevoir in close combat.

Although Yaro is a kind-hearted person and has the image of a bright and cheerful big brother, when it comes to Pokémon battles, every trainer on the field has a dark heart... Of course, Xiaozhi can be excluded. He usually only uses quick attacks and won't use these dirty tricks.

Under a sunny day, the power of fire-based moves increases, while the power of water-based moves decreases, but for Yaluo, the most important thing is...

The charging time of Sun Flame is greatly reduced, and...

"Photosynthesis!" Yaluo shouted.

"Ku!" The cunning tengu stretched its arms to face the direct sunlight, and saw waves of light green fluorescence emerging on its surface, healing its injuries.

The Cunning Tengu already has a lot of blood, but now he adds this kind of recovery skill... It's really a simple but practical way of playing.

Yaluo looked at Xu Qiansu with a hint of provocation in his eyes, meaning that the cunning tengu is currently recovering at full strength. Do you want to step forward and interrupt it?

Without interruption, all previous offensives would be meaningless.

If you choose to interrupt it... you will fall into Yaluo's trap. If you are led by Yaluo, you will definitely be tricked.

Xu Qiansu did not choose to interrupt, but it was impossible to wait.

"Magic Space."

Gardevoir's amber eyes flashed with purple light, and he stretched out his small hand, and his majestic spiritual power spurted out instantly.

As a challenger, Xu Qiansu has an inherent advantage... He can rotate, but Yaluo cannot. This cunning dog can only fight until he completely loses his ability to fight.

You have to be wary of the speed of the Cunning Tengu, but fortunately, even the fastest Vulpix in the team is not faster than the Cunning Tengu... so the magic space is of benefit and no harm.

"Eh? The magic space..." Yaluo looked up at the purple prism space that had enveloped the entire venue, "Not many super-type Pokémon can master this skill."

He lowered his eyes and looked at Gardevoir, "It seems that not only the close combat, but also the superpowers are impeccable... It is truly a Pokémon that has been bred to near perfection."

The sunlight that spreads through the magic space brings a layer of misty lavender.

But the magic space cannot offset the effect of a sunny day.

If you want to completely erase the sunny day, you must use weather-type moves of the same specifications. Unfortunately, none of Xu Qiansu's Pokémon can master the weather type.
