When Nine-Tails' eyes lit up red, Saya felt a familiar sense of oppression.

When encountering resentful spirits in the Spirit Bone Tower, or fighting against Nazi in the Golden Yellow Pavilion, Xiao Ye had the same feeling - it was a sense of oppression caused by spiritual power, as if he was invisibly showing his claws, fiercely telling the enemy what was terrible about him.

At the same time, the Nine-Tails' body lit up with a raging fire. The flame condensed but did not emit, tightly surrounded, and could turn into a vortex of flames at any time, bursting out with great power. And after the Nine-Tails attacked, Saya and Dabitori finally realized the meaning of the "Web of Divine Power".

The Nine-Tails switched to Flame Sputter as their main attack. This move can spread out after hitting the opponent, causing damage to the surrounding Pokémon, and under the powerful control of the Nine-Tails, the original simple move has turned into a fireball in scatter mode.

With the positioning guidance of the Divine Power Net, the Nine-Tails' attacks began to become terrifyingly accurate, and even the amount of advance movement of the Great Bird could be predicted. With the speed of the bird, it had to rely on improvisation to avoid attacks, and even so, after a few attacks, the beautiful golden feathers were still carved with mottled scorch marks.

Tabitori also tried a melee attack, but as soon as he got closer, the flames surrounding the Nine-Tails would skyrocket, forcing Dabitori back with such force that he couldn't even touch a single fluff of his opponent.

Offensive and defensive integration, precise positioning - this is the terrible thing about the Nine-Tails.

"Hey, I said Mr. Pavilionmaster, you're going too far, aren't you?" Yang really shouted angrily across the lava lake.

Divine power, flame vortex, flame splash, and the near-invincible state of the Nine-Tails are achieved through these three moves. Skillfully maintaining the activation of all three moves at the same time, and using them flexibly, is an advanced skill that is beyond the reach of beginners. But Xia Bo used them against a newcomer who had not participated in a league competition for less than half a year, which really did not look like the style of the hall owner.

"Haha, indeed. Xia Bo smiled and nodded.

Of course, he had read Sayo's battle history before the battle, and he didn't plan to use a combination that was too difficult to deal with against a newcomer with such a young experience. However, after a few rounds, he temporarily changed his previously considered style.

For this somewhat special newcomer, the expected tepid mentoring battle was too boring. Strength is more important than resume, isn't it?

"How, challenger, do you need me to release water for you according to the rules of the pavilion owner?" Xia Bo asked.

"No, please attack with all your might. Xiao Ye didn't even take half a second to think it through.

Only in the gym can you see powerful veteran trainers unreservedly performing their stunts. In order to absorb this rare experience, it is worth it even to make Xiao Ye pay double the fine.

"That's the answer I like. The old man smiled.

"Nine-Tails, Flame Splash Scatter Mode, Snipe Dabi Bird with all your might!"

In the center of the field, surrounded by a swirl of flames, where the opponent's figure could not be seen clearly, increasingly hot fireballs shot out continuously.

"Awaken the power. ”

Pure white light envelops the body of the bird, and a faint beating electric light leaks from it. Dabiko understood exactly what the trainer was intending - to prevent being burned by the flame splash, the Awakened Power was the most suitable buffer shield.

There is no doubt that in such a situation, high-speed movement should be the most appropriate move. Tabi couldn't help but wonder if it could have been faster, wouldn't it have been so chased by the flame splash?

When the usually calm Tabitori's mind rarely becomes a little restless, it seems to feel the user's state, and the awakening power becomes more and more unstable. The electric current stimulates its cells, sending a tingling sensation of pain, but at the same time making its movements more rapid.

The unexpected change in her body caused Tabitori's movements to pause, and Saya's next instructions had already arrived.

"Steel wings, cutting rocks. ”

In the electric light, the golden birds let out a crisp chirp. The sheen of the metal condenses within the wings, cutting deep into the crimson walls of the cavern.

The rumbling sound made the Nine-Tails' web of divine power tremble. After the golden streamer circled around the entire cavern, the surface of the rock wall was completely destroyed by the steel wings, and countless rolling stones fell from the sky.

Xiao Ye knew that with the flame vortex blocking his vision, the Nine-Tails could only rely on his supernatural powers to perceive the outside world. Its localization ability is indeed far superior to vision, but there is also a flaw in it -

The premise of absolute precision receives a detailed and enormous flow of information. Then, if the external environment suddenly changes drastically, the information conveyed to the Nine-Tails by the Divine Power suddenly increases, and it is likely that the reaction speed of the Nine-Tails will be reduced to the extent that the flaws are exposed.

It's at this point in time that Sayo wants to target.

Unlike Pokémon, the human body is much more fragile. Therefore, when Xia Bo was faced with the countless rubbles that fell on his head, he had to temporarily turn his attention away from the battlefield and cautiously avoid the area where the rockfall was dense.

"Air slash. ”

At the same time, Shaber heard the calm voice of the young trainer opposite.

Along with the sharp sound of the wind, there seemed to be a soft "bang" that every trainer was familiar with. The wailing of the Nine-Tails immediately caused Xia Bo to immediately cast his eyes back to the field.

The wall formed by the flame vortex shattered layer by layer, and the air blade emitted by the Tabiniao left a bloodstained wound on the Nine-Tails. And that's just the beginning of the challenger's counterattack.

"Brave Bird Onslaught. ”

Seeing the Dabi bird bathed in orange flames swooping down, Xia Bo did not hesitate to order, "Big character burst flame!"

"Yan returns. ”

The "Yan Hui" sounded almost with the last word of his own command made Xia Bo stunned. By the time the Nine-Tails spewed out a large-shaped burst of flame, his opponent had already completed his move—the desperate Brave Bird Onslaught was switched to a breezy Yan Hui, perfectly avoiding the flames of the Nine-Tails with the signature maneuver contained in this move.

The interval was less than a second, and Night's next command arrived.

"Brave Bird Onslaught. ”

The second half of the slalom suddenly accelerated, and following the momentum of the swallow's return, the Tabi bird once again launched its strongest attack. Xia Bo was shaken by the rock smashed under his feet, and he didn't have time to give additional instructions for a while, and the rhythm of the Nine-Tails' attack had already been completely disrupted by Xiao Ya and Dabitori. As he hurriedly retreated, the Nine-Tails accidentally stepped on the gravel that had fallen before, and his body suddenly shook.

And this flicker, it lost its last chance to escape the attack of the big bird.

The golden bird spread its wings and turned the flames into a blue light—

The brave bird attacked and hit the bull's-eye.

After the Nine-Tails fell to the ground and fell into a coma, the battlefield on the shore of the magma lake was silent for a moment.

The fast-paced combat with a guerrilla style always feels like you can't come back to your senses. However, before the trainers and Pokémon go to reminisce about the battle, the boy's irascible voice breaks the peace.

"What the hell are you doing!!" Yang Zhen's face was full of anger, "Do you know how dangerous it was just now, and you still stared at the battlefield and didn't hide!!?"

Above the heads of the two, the clay puppet giant spread his arms and protected them with his body as the rocks fell, and for some reason he held back a creepy happy face.

"It's okay, I'll hide if I'm going to be hit. Sayo's explanation is so light that it even makes one wonder if the speaker is joking.

After thinking about it, Xiao Ye added sincerely, "If it hits you, I will protect you too." ”

Yojin: "......"

"Oh, that's so reassuring - do you think I'm going to say that, bastard, ah, you can take a good look at who's protecting who!!"

"Uh...... The honor belongs to you, Uncle Furuya!"

"Uncle, you uncle!"

Beside Xiao Ye, the two Pokémon watching the battle were still stunned and did not come back to their senses.

They were all seeing for the first time what their masters described as "a battle between human trainers". Even Leolu, who had grown up in fighting, had to admit that it was much more intense and exciting than all the battles it had ever seen before.

No, it's not so much about the excitement – there's so much in this battle that it knows not in a fight. At this time, the little dog Pokémon only felt a little out of breath, and his mind was still echoing the quick and decisive instructions of the trainer around him at the end of the battle.

And the subversive message that the Snow Boy receives is even stronger. Born in the peaceful polar ice fields, it has almost never fought, and its only notion of this is the attack of the Crystal Flame on their race. So, of course, Snow Boy understands the word "battle" as a concept of pain and despair, which makes you want to cry.

Xiao Ye didn't directly instill any opinions in it, but put the facts directly in front of its eyes. The tension and excitement in the battle, the burning spirit when the two sides fight, the resonance of the tacit understanding between the Pokémon and the trainer, and the eyes that still pity each other even if they are covered in scars-

What Saya wants to convey is not complicated. Although Snow Boy may not be required to participate in battles in the future, it is necessary to make Snow Boy better integrate into his team and become close friends with other Pokémon.

Fighting is not just a painful thing. So, don't be afraid.

After circling for a few weeks, the Tabia returns to its owner and lands lightly on the rocky ground. Sayo encourages the flap of the Tabi Bird's wings and retracts the tired bird into the Poké Ball.

Xia Bo on the opposite side had already withdrawn the Nine-Tails and took out the second Poke Ball. Staring at the figure in the translucent capsule shell, Xia Bo smiled heartily.

What an amazing newcomer.

Perhaps because the sight of the earth shaking and shaking the mountains was so similar, Xia Bo inadvertently recalled the momentous decision that changed the rest of his life. The conversations of the past are still ringing in his ears, and now he is simply looking forward to the "future" they are talking about growing with vitality.

It's not too late.

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

Small Theatre:

Dabi Bird: (proud) Sure enough, I'm the lightning bird.

System Prompt: I think that Dabitori's technique of wrapping the electric shock released by the Awakening Power around his body and stimulating his body to move quickly is unique, and it can have an exclusive name, such as "Thousand Bird Flow".

Night: ...... Wait a minute, did something strange just get in there?
