“…… On this thorny field, the civil war of grass-type Pokémon has reached a white-hot stage! The narrator's still-passionate voice echoed over the grass field, dutifully making a torrential noise, "Shinichiro's vine monster has never revealed its true identity under the stormy attack of Merlin's Wonderful Frog Flower, and I don't know if it has been damaged or damaged. On the other hand, the wonderful frog flower of Merlin, who has been actively launching an offensive, has shown obvious fatigue under such a frequency of high-intensity attacks...... Oooh, Merlin's Frog Flower stubbornly launched a new round of attacks after a short break! ”

This kind of back-and-forth offensive and defensive battle is generally the most willing to be appreciated and will be enthusiastically appreciated by the majority of ordinary enthusiasts who do not have much combat level, but for the trainers and Pokémon on both sides who are personally involved, this kind of turn-based game is the most boring, the most tiring and the most testing skill.

The offensive and defensive battles will not only strictly test the physical reserves and energy reserves of Pokémon participating in the battle between each other, but also make a brutal head-to-head comparison between their use of special moves and move combinations. It is as small as the length of the accumulation time of the special move, the speed and frequency of the trigger and activation of the special move, the timing of the special move, and the selection and adjustment of the angle and position. It is as big as how to reasonably distribute the power ratio and duration of each special move, how to reasonably and effectively allocate the physical strength and energy that continues to decline, how to avoid the opponent's attack and increase the consumption of the opponent, how to make one's own attack more effective and minimize one's own loss. And so on and so forth, it's hard to count.

And these are just a test of Pokémon's basic skills.

The boring offensive and defensive battles are also a marathon long test of the basic skills of the trainers. Trainers must maintain the highest level of attention and attention at all times during this repetitive and not simple reciprocating attack. Pay attention to your side, always adjust the rhythm and frequency of attacks according to the real-time dynamic changes of both sides, and even change the pattern of attacks. At the same time, don't forget to pay attention to the opponent's side, and make corresponding changes in time according to the status and changes of the opponent's Pokémon and trainers.

Offensive and defensive battles are the last thing Merlin wants to fight with an opponent of Shinichiro's level, because both his own experience and the level of his partners are obviously inferior to the opponent's elite level. But when Merlin had no other opportunistic way to think of, he could only be pinched by the other party's nose and forcibly dragged into this kind of battle that the other party was most sure of.

On the field, vine balls and thorn bushes of various colors, which had obviously become much thinner and thinner, still occupied all corners of the field.

In front of Merlin's command platform, on a small grassy lawn, a sweaty and panting Frog lowered his head and stared at the silent thorns around him with huge eyes.

Strange to say, the battle had come to such an extent that Frog had not been able to find out the true form of the vine monster from this not very vast field, let alone force it out to win the battle. If it weren't for the fact that the vines had been attacking under Shinichiro's command, and if it weren't for the fact that Frog and Merlin could read some ups and downs from each other's attacks, maybe even Merlin would have wondered if it was the vines or just a thorn forest that had been fighting him for so long.

And this thorn forest is also full of weirdness and strangeness. Once the thorns that were forcibly cleared by Frog were removed from the energy supply from the ground, they would quickly burst, or quickly wither, wither, turn into rotten wood, and then melt into ashes and dissipate without a trace. But beneath these thorns are patches of dry and cracked sand, not only is there no other green vegetation, but even water and nutrients are pitifully scarce.

This situation is very different from the green vegetation that is usually spawned by various tricks, and those green plants that are generally spawned by growth or other similar tricks are generally not much different from ordinary wild plants, but will be stronger and tougher because they have been tempered by the power of the tricks, and will definitely not die quickly as soon as they leave the ground.

Moreover, the characteristics of the thorn-covered areas are also very wrong. Looking at that kind of performance, it is not the traditional model of vegetation attached to the earth, rooted in the soil and connected with nature, and using the infinite energy of nature to supply itself. Rather, it's more like forcibly extracting the natural energy from the area and using it somewhere else......

In the fierce offensive and defensive battle, Merlin couldn't help but think about the deep meaning that might be hidden behind this abnormal performance.

Purely from the comparison of data, the physical strength and energy reserves of the Wonderful Frog Flower are more than those of the Wonderful Frog Flower, which is not only a matter of the size and tonnage of the Wonderful Frog Flower, but also shows that unless there is a huge level gap, the Wonderful Frog Flower's continuous combat ability is generally inferior to that of the Wonderful Frog Flower. And Merlin's Frog has undergone rigorous training, and has cultivated its physique in a targeted manner, so that its physical strength and energy reserves should be excellent compared to ordinary peers.

Even if the vine monster can offset some of the physical strength gap with its excellent defense value, but now, when Merlin's Frog is tired and panting, Shinichiro's vine monster still hasn't appeared in real form, and even if there is some loss, it won't be too big. This situation is somewhat unreasonable.

Merlin, who was meditating, seemed to have a vague grasp of some thoughts, but he always felt that he was not too sure.

Gritting his teeth, Merlin decided to give it a try, "Frog, Flying Leaf Blade!" Along with some code words and codes that only each other could understand, Merlin gave new instructions to Flogg.

After reading the instructions behind Merlin's normal instructions, Frog, who had just finished pumping vine whips with the vine monsters, adjusted the rhythm of his breathing slightly, and threw a large area of sharp blades that were spinning at high speed from under the huge blades behind him. However, these blade-like blades did not attack the thorns in a large area like the previous tricks, but seemed to be due to insufficient strength, and most of the blades flew straight to the ground, except for the blank paths in the thorn forest, which did not seem to cause any other consequences.

However, Merlin and Flogg's seemingly meaningless actions made Shinichiro, who had been calm and relaxed on the other side, frown slightly. He wasn't sure if Merlin had seen something or if the attack was just a substandard mistake.

Shinichiro's thoughtful expression was fleeting, but it was still captured by Merlin, who had turned on the super sense and had been carefully observing him. Seeing Shinichiro's behavior, Merlin knew that he was probably right. Although I don't know how the other party did it to this extent, it doesn't prevent Merlin from seizing the opportunity to crack the situation.

"Flying Leaf Knife!"

The slightly excited command was passed to the equally uplifted Frog, who once again shook its body and continued to eject larger, sharper blades from under the huge blades behind it, allowing the spinning blades to carry out more and more smooth weeding operations in the less and less thorny forest. As the thorn bushes became less and less, the resistance from the vines became scarcer and weaker, as if it had lost the strength to continue to sustain them.

"Spotted?" Shinichiro is also free and easy, and seeing that the trick he played with the vine monster has been exposed, he simply doesn't plan to continue playing, "However, it doesn't matter." A wonderful frog flower that is tired to death...... Heh...... "Shinichiro shook his head with regret.

On Merlin's side, as Frog continued to cut the thorns, there were fewer and fewer thorn masses and vine balls on the field. Soon the entire grass field had been emptied and turned into a dry and cracked desert, except for a remote corner that seemed to have been forgotten, and a large and incomparably compact blue-green tangled half-thorn and half-vine vine ball was still built.

It just so happened that just when there was only this clump of vines left on the field, Flogg's last blade knife also arced in front of it, and just when this round blade, which was strong enough to split iron in both strength and sharpness, seemed to be able to easily cut through this vine, with a dull sound, this blade blade, which could also leave traces on the ultra-high-strength concrete fence on the periphery of the arena, was actually stopped by this vine from turning, and then was gently flicked out.

After flicking the blade, the stray ball of vines of considerable size swayed back and forth a few times, and a deep pitch-black "face" slowly appeared from among the countless knotted vine thorns, and then a pair of large, but hollow, dull eyes appeared on this face. The seemingly unfocused gaze focused several times, and finally looked at Frog and Merlin. It was the vine monster that Merlin and Frog had been looking for but couldn't see!

After shaking his body, the vine monster that finally revealed his "true face" struggled to "stand" up from the sand. I saw that this obviously very bloated tangle of vines struggled to stand up straight, and struggled to pull out countless tiny roots from the loose sand that were quickly being retracted into their bodies, it was these blood-red roots overgrown with whiskers that robbed all the natural energy of this grass field, and it seemed that it was these small roots that launched an all-round attack on Frog from all directions.

As the body left the sand, when all the roots were withdrawn, the vine slowly pulled out its vibrant blood-red feet from the sand, and the red feet like children's big toe shoes were covered with some loose sand and gravel, which kept falling from the feet as it lifted its feet. From afar, the sand looked like it was dead.

"Although you saw through it, my tactics were not finally achieved." Shinichiro grinned and said, "However, to deal with this wonderful frog flower, this level alone is more than enough!" ”

"Arabesques, let's end this fight!" With a finger of his hand, Shinichiro quickly issued a battle order, "Rattan whip!" ”

Almost at the same time that Shinichiro's command was uttered between his lips and tongue, the vine monster, who had long been in contact with his trainer, immediately attacked. I saw it slam its slightly bloated body, and then dozens of thick brownish-green thorn-covered vine whips from its tangled body were thrown out, heading straight for Flogg. What Shinichiro is giving is not so much an instruction as a synchronous commentary.

And on Merlin's side, Frog's side obviously couldn't keep up with such a rapid attack. It wasn't until the vine whip thrown by the vine monster flew past half the court that Frog "fired back!" in Merlin! Under the command, he hurriedly threw out a similar number of grass-green slender rattan whips to deal with the attack.

Soon, the thick brownish thorns collided with the slender grass-green vines. The thorny branches that flew over most of the field were obviously in an absolutely strong position, either easily bouncing off the vines and suppressing them, or simply and neatly volleying them into fragments or even powder. Not only is the strength strong enough, but the number of thorns thrown by the vine monster is also more than the vine whip that Frog wields, even if Frog accurately controls each vine whip to intercept a thorn strip one-on-one, there are still nearly ten thorns that can run directly towards the set goal without the opponent's block. And the vines responsible for intercepting basically failed to complete their mission, at most only slightly slowed down the progress of these thorns.

In the face of such a strong and fierce attack, Frog is obviously ready to be beaten, and it is obviously more than enough to fight back with such an approaching attack, even if he wants to dodge, it is no longer realistic. Therefore, it can only try to adjust its posture and try to protect its vital parts from heavy damage.

And Merlin can't take care of his partner at the moment. He was rapidly comparing the strength of the vine monster when he had performed his special moves, and his mind was running at full strength to analyze and calculate.

[If you use the special move you perform when you hide in the grass as the benchmark, it is the strength one.] Then the attack strength after revealing his true body at this moment is at least three or more. The strength of the attack that had been hidden in the thorn bush before only hovered between one and two at most......] Merlin quickly ran his brain, and at the same time, he also paid a little attention to the changes on the field, watching as Frog was slammed by the powerful thorns, and slid sideways for several meters before regaining his footing.

[The attack strength in the thorn bush seems to decrease significantly as the area of the thorn decreases, and it is precisely because of this that I have made up my mind to eradicate this thorn. So now it seems that the purpose of the vine monster to create this thorn is not only to obtain a steady stream of energy and hidden land, but also to have another purpose. Combined with what Shinichiro said before: 'It's not done, but it's enough to deal with me', then it's clear that creating that thorn bush is probably not only so simple to use. So what exactly is the use? 】

Merlin shifted his piercing gaze to the clumsy vine that was always dangling, staring at its bloated body tangled in thorns and vines. Suddenly, Merlin had a flash of inspiration.

[The vine monster is an unknown Pokémon...... Merlin suddenly grabbed something, [its undetectable body is wrapped with blue hairy vines...... So, is it possible for an Arbesque to 'augment' itself by winding around and enveloping other similar plants and then changing direction!? Gain more strength by wrapping vines, thorns, and branches around your body...... This explanation makes sense, Shinichiro's purpose in creating the thorn bush is probably mainly to allow the vine monster to wrap the thorn vines in the entire grass field at the last suitable moment to achieve the final completion. That's why these created vines and thorns will drain the energy of this field in advance, just to store energy for later use when they are wrapped around the vine monsters! 】

[This makes sense!] Why do thorns and vines wither as soon as they leave the ground, because they lose their connection with the 'mother', and the instant release of too many energy reserves will also cause similar bursts and wilts! In a few moments, Merlin's mind was filled with countless thoughts, questions, and answers, [So, there's another question, why couldn't Frog and I find the 'hidden' vine monster before?] Unless......]

Merlin suddenly had a crazy thought, [That's right, neither Frog nor I can tell the difference between the vines on the vine monster and the wild plants, and the vine monster's body is 'undetectable'...... As long as it can spread out the vines that wrap around the body, then it will not be impossible to find only the mysterious body? 】

Merlin, who thought that he had completely seen through the other party's tricks, was a little proud, but after thinking about it, he was lost again. Even if he sees through the opponent's tricks, what can he do, as long as he can't defeat the opponent, he can't defeat the opponent head-on, everything is not a useless zero. Thinking of this, Merlin was low and nervous again.

And on the field, what keeps Merlin depressed is still happening.

Shinichiro's vine monster Xu didn't bother to use other special attacks, Xu thought that just one vine whip would be enough to clean up Flogg, so the bloated vine monster kept throwing out a handful of thorn strips and pumping them at Flogg. Although these hard, sharp weapons are not enough to complete delicate tasks such as binding and bondage, the power of causing blows and collisions should not be underestimated. Even a heavyweight of Frog's kind was staggered by these thorns, and although the stubborn beast gritted his teeth to restrain his urge to roar, the muffled snort after each hit was still full of pain.

It's not that Frog hasn't suffered similar attacks that are almost abusive/treated, but it's all "sparring" with other partners in actual combat, and generally speaking, when he is abused/treated, there will naturally be times when he abuses/treats others, so it's generally balanced. But that was all during the internal training camp after joining the team, and how could Frog have been subjected to such an attack by outsiders that he was almost unable to fight back since he joined Merlin's team, let alone being beaten so badly by a strange guy in such a grand venue.

To say that Frog was beaten to the point that he had no temper at all would be unrealistic. What's more, the beating reminded Frog of being bullied in Tokiwa Forest because of his unique talent when he was a frog seed.

Anger began to burn rapidly in the proud Flogg's heart.

Grass-type Pokémon are generally less angry, and most of the time they live in a peaceful and peaceful way of nature. But just as nature erupts into a shocking rage when it is provoked, grass Pokémon are also quite dangerous when they are really angry.

Although Wonderful Frog Flower is not a pure grass-based Pokémon, it is a grass-poisoned dual-type Pokémon. However, in a certain attribute proportion theory that is not accepted by the mainstream academic community, it still belongs to the grass Pokémon with a heavy proportion of grass attributes.

When Frog began to feel angry, an emotion that was completely alien to it, a very different force began to flood its limbs. With the anger in his heart, the mournful roar of the parched earth beneath his feet, and the energy of the sun released by the scorching sun under the clear autumn sky above his head, Frog began to pour out a hot energy from the depths of his body that he had never experienced before. An energy that burns passionately but is not like fire.

These are all internal perceptions of Frog himself. And when you look at the furious beast from the outside, you will notice that in its large, scarred body emerges bursts of multicolored and ever-changing brilliance, and slowly this flash of light is released from the body to the outside of the body, converging into five bright bands of color that rotate in a circle around Flogg's body, each of which shimmers with a unique bright color. While rotating around the frog flower at high speed, these colored balls will also swap colors with each other, which looks brilliant.

"Wake up!?"

The voices of Merlin, Shinichiro, and the narrator sounded at the same time, and the three men who were always paying attention to the battle situation all recognized the true face of this trick at the first time.

"What's the use of that?"

Almost at the same time, Merlin, Shinichiro, and the narrator all uttered or remembered similar words.

Awakening is a very wonderful trick, it is a common attribute trick that most Pokémon can learn, it belongs to the category of special attacks, and it is a ranged attack that is not close contact. The lethality of this special move is not too large, or even smaller, and it does not have too gorgeous special effects, let alone any unique additional effects. However, it has a unique charm and magic that many trainers flock to.

This rush comes from the wonderful nature of the hidden power attribute in the body of the Awakened Pokémon that the Awakening Trick has. It may be a bit cloudy to say this, but to put it bluntly, the Awakening Trick will awaken different attributes depending on the individual Pokémon used. In other words, the damage dealt by the Awakening Ultimate, which is a normal attribute, may be of any other attribute other than the normal attribute.

You can think about it this way, when a rock-type Pokémon who obviously can't use an electric-based special move suddenly uses a awakening special move that awakens the electrical attribute in the face of a strong water-based Pokémon...... What an accident and disruption this will cause!

It is precisely because of this that many trainers and scholars are fanatically chasing the awakening attribute of awakening, and they have even formulated a complete set of awakening formulas and the details of the use of the awakening attribute in order to awaken. These trainers believe that as long as they awaken enough attributes to compensate for the shortcomings of the strike surface with their Awakening Skills, they can cultivate invincible Pokémon with no weaknesses.

Merlin has always scoffed at this. So he didn't deliberately give it to his partners to wake up the trick at all, but this time, in the process of being "beaten", Frog actually woke up the trick himself. This is undoubtedly good news for Merlin, and it is also a good thing to do. But Merlin really didn't think that this kind of temporary awakening trick would be of great help to the current situation.

[Unless, Frog, you have awakened some flames, ice, and the like that have obvious restraint on the grass system, otherwise...... I can only congratulate you on learning a new trick......] There was a little sigh in his heart, and Merlin could only silently send a blessing to his partner who was working hard in the end.

After Merlin silently recited this small wish, five colored ball belts circled around Frog like a satellite and were inspired by Frog at the same time, and dozens of gorgeous balls seemed to be flying randomly and chaotically, but they all set their final destination on the opposite vine monster.

"Although you have awakened a new special move," Shinichiro also said on the other side, "but it won't do much to your victory, even if you ......" Just as he was about to comment a few words, the situation on the field directly made him shut his mouth.

Shinichiro's vine monster was naturally as frightened as his trainer about these seemingly beautiful balls, but it naturally didn't plan to use its own body to directly test what kind of attributes these balls had awakened, so the vine monster took it upon himself to slash the thorn strips that were originally thrown out to continue beating Frog in the air, and changed the direction, so that they swept directly towards the gorgeous balls that looked hollow in the eyes of the vine monsters.

But with such a sweep, the problem arises. Although those ornate orbs were indeed as fragile and not dangerous as the vine monster thought, it never expected that when it waved the thorns to break the orbs, these ornate orbs would have lost their camouflaged color coats and turned into flaming balls of flame! A fireball that is even hotter under the unobstructed morning sun!

Although the extremely tempered and condensed fireballs are still not as hot as the flames spit out by the genuine Fire Flame Pokémon, it is already a real flame, and when these fireballs are dispersed and opened by the thorn strips, they naturally stick to the branches and begin to quickly release their heat and firepower, along these hard but doomed thorns with low moisture content towards the end of the vine monster to quickly burn past.

Great surprise. Merlin, Shinichiro, the commentators, the spectators, and all the people who were following the game were all amazed, who would have thought that the awakening trick of awakening on the spot would actually awaken the most outstanding fire attribute against these dry and hard plants!?

Merlin was probably one of the quickest to recover from the shock. After the strong man on the opposite side "took off" a layer of thorn clothes on his body like a broken wrist, and abandoned the thorny branches that had been swallowed up by the flames, he immediately commanded the re-energized Frog to continue to launch the awakening trick and continue to attack the vine monster in a tone that could not hide his excitement.

As he watched the vine monster keep shedding layers of thorns and vines from its body, a pair of bright red feet scurrying back and forth on the dry field and against the increasingly scorching sun above his head, dodging the overwhelming fireballs. Shinichiro on the other side also sighed unwillingly.

If he had known that the situation would develop into such a situation, he would not have been so hasty to drain all the energy of the entire grass field, if there was still a large area of green plants in this field at this moment, then he would have many ways to deal with these fireballs. But in the face of such a dry venue, even Shinichiro had no other way.

Now he can only choose to resist hard, choose to fight head-on, choose to believe that his vine monster has the energy of a whole grass field as a backing, and can consume the tired giant beast on the other side after a long battle. So far, there is no better way for Shinichiro, so he can only gamble helplessly.
