"What is this!?" The narrator's yelling rang out, "Oh, this is the Flying Mantis's evolutionary giant pincer mantis!" Merlin's last Pokémon turned out to be the Giant Pincer Mantis!! Unexpectedly, Merlin actually held both the Flying Mantis and the Giant Pincer Mantis and let them participate in the first round on the grass field at the same time! What a bold move!! ”

"Some viewers may be a little unfamiliar with the giant pincer mantis, so I will introduce the basic situation of this red lightning here...... The Giant Pincer Mantis is a specific evolved Pokémon that can only evolve after communication with the Flying Mantis, and it is considered to be a new evolutionary lineage that was discovered due to human activities, and there should be no pure wild Giant Pincer Mantis in the wild - many scholars believe so. ”

"The Giant Pincer Mantis is as dangerous and deadly hunters as the Flying Mantis in its pre-evolved form, and its giant pincers are capable of slicing and crushing most natural substances, even with a gentle swing. At the same time, the eye-like lines on their giant pincers also have a good intimidating effect, which can effectively intimidate opponents while swinging...... There are actually a lot of interesting things to know about the Giant Pincer Mantis, such as that it is one of the few Pokémon that has not changed its total race value after evolution......"

Accompanied by the narrator's nonsense like a lecture on popular science knowledge, Merlin's Pryles, also known as the Giant Pincer Mantis, had already launched at least ten or more rapid assaults in the green sea.

With his extraordinary instantaneous acceleration and much lighter weight than the average class, Pryers was able to maintain a movement speed similar to that of the Flying Mantis in his form for a short period of time, and it was with this rapid assault that greatly surprised Shinichiro and the Arbesque, Pryers was able to approach the Arbesque's hiding place several times, forcing it to constantly change hiding locations and constantly release overwhelming vines in a vain attempt to slow down Pryles' high-speed movement.

But those slender blue vines were too fragile for Pryles, who could cut through anything, and it often only took a slight wave of Pryles' giant pincers to cut those vines with the strength and sharpness of the swing. Even if he was entangled in vines for a while, Priors could directly break the restraint with his high speed and launch the pursuit again. Moreover, due to the metal covering, the vines' vines did little damage to it, and the fluff and crystals had no effect on the metal film that covered Pliers's body. Even if he can barely envelop it for a while, Pryers will be able to break through the obstacles in the next moment and regain his freedom.

It seems that, because of Pryers' high speed and great activity, the situation of the battle has begun to develop in favor of Merlin. But in the face of this situation, Merlin, who should have been happy, obviously showed a heavier and heavier expression.

His family knew his own affairs, and despite the fact that Pryers could still chase the vines hidden in the greenery with his temporary super high speed, Merlin knew in his heart that Pryers would not be able to maintain such high-speed movement and sprinting for a long time. Not to mention whether Pryles' physical strength can support it to continue to gallop on the battlefield like this, the high heat generated by its body due to its high-speed movement that cannot be effectively cooled by its wings seriously restricts the duration of Pryles' high-speed movement.

For Pryers, who has the attributes of steel, the high body temperature that cannot be effectively dissipated will seriously drag down its body functioning, affect its mental state, and even seriously injure it, so it must stop and lower its body temperature before its body temperature reaches dangerous levels.

Merlin and Pryles' tactics are also very simple, which is to use the maximum speed that Pryles can maintain at the beginning of the game when he is at his best, and deal as much effective damage as possible to the well-hidden vines, or to be able to consume some of its stamina. And when Pryers had to stop the high speed to cool down due to the heat, Merlin will take advantage of the limited replacement opportunity to replace Frog on the field to take advantage of the situation to pursue the situation. Aim to end the fight in one or two rotations.

But now it seems that this kind of plan is too much to overestimate himself and too underestimate the other party. With Pliers' top speed on the verge of limit, it has not been able to deal even a single effective damage to the Arbesque, and even the secondary goal of consuming its physical strength has barely been achieved. All Pryers could do was prune the vines' endless vines. That's all.

"Sa~~"

The crimson lightning bolt stood at the starting point again, white smoke rising from the red metal body, and the body in the heat emitted a billowing heat wave that distorted vision. Pryers stood in front of Merlin's podium, flapping his wings frantically to adjust his body temperature as fast as he could, so that he could return to battle as soon as possible.

However, Shinichiro didn't give it that chance.

Just as Pryers stood still to cool down, countless blue vines shot out from all directions again. While Pryers, who was trying to regulate his body temperature as soon as possible, was in a state of almost immobility, these blue vines easily entangled the body of the giant pincer mantis, instantly enveloping it into a rather large vine cocoon.

"Hiss~~sss

At the same time as the vines wrapped around Pryers, the sound of hot plants sounded on Pryers's body, which had been bound, accompanied by the sound of plants being burned and dried by the heat, and bursts of white and black smoke rising towards the sky.

"What happens when the metal is heated?" Merlin, who was standing on the trainer's podium, clutched the railing in front of him tightly with both hands, and lowered his head slightly as if talking to himself, "That's a hot soldering iron, a cannon that is not inferior to flames!" ”

With Merlin's shout, a violent tremor was evident from the cocoons of the blue vines, and puffs of smoke and flames poured out from the cracks between the vines. Although the vines kept adding more vines in vain to continue to entangle Pliers, the vines that were already burning were no longer under the control of their masters.

The black smoke burned more and more, and the hot flames rose rapidly, and the reddish Pryers on his body slammed his pincers and easily broke through the vine cocoon made by the vine monster with a wave of his pincers. With a body of blazing fire and heat, Pryers slowly walked on the grass field, leaving one burning footprint after another, and firmly moving his steps in a certain direction.

This sudden unexpected unfolding made the well-informed Shinichiro stay for a moment, but only a moment later, Shinichiro saw the cattiness behind this extremely uncommon sense scene. A contemptuous smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and Shinichiro smiled, "This scene is really capable of bluffing, Umebayashi-kun." I have to admit, you're really creative. As he spoke, Shinichiro actually applauded, "However, your self-harming tactics don't seem to have any effect on my vine monster." The body temperature can't drop and there is an extra fire, hey, don't forget, your giant pincer mantis is four times more restrained by the flames! In this state, it will probably suffer ...... damage."

Before Shinichiro could finish his words, Pryles, who was in the midst of the fire, walked a few steps and then closed his eyes and legs limped, and fell head-on in the unusually lush grass, and as his burning body fell, a large fire quickly burned around Pryles. It is also strange to say that when Pryers fell to the ground and ignited the surrounding fire, the flames and heat on its body seemed to begin to subside, and after a while, its body basically returned to its original color, but it looked particularly red under the light of the surrounding fire.

"The giant pincer mantis loses its ability to fight, and the vine monster wins!" The referee, who was watching from a distance, quickly issued an order and ruled that Pryers, who had fallen to the ground, failed to leave the game.

However, Merlin did not rush to recover Pryers at the moment, but forcibly endured the churning emotions in his heart, ignored the referee's urging once or twice, and looked directly at the location where Pryers fell and the fire that ignited on the grass field. It wasn't until almost the entire grass field was on fire, and it wasn't until Pryers' position had been burned to the ground that he pulled out the Poké Ball and retrieved his partner before the referee could almost warn him.

Looking directly at the burning grass, Merlin tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled a somewhat cruel smile.

Starting with Pliers' Rush state, trying to attack the Argan or draining its stamina is the first choice. Then, using the opportunity to calm down the temperature to seduce the vine monster to entangle Pryers, and at the same time activate the soldering iron state to ignite the fire, is the last resort.

In the Grass Field, the Arbesques have both the perfect shield and an inexhaustible source of plant energy. And Frog is not strong enough to control ordinary vegetation with his own strength, and he is better than the vines. So Merlin had no choice but to make this decision, simply find a way to make the grass field disappear completely, so that the two sides can return to the same starting line, at least in terms of field.

Moreover, the raging fire can not only burn the grass field, but it should also have a certain amount of damage to the vines that have been hiding in it all the time.

But just when Merlin thought he had a plan, Shinichiro on the opposite side suddenly burst into a hearty laugh: "I see, I see!" Merlin-kun, Merlin-kun, you're so smart! But it's clever! Shinichiro gave Merlin a thumbs up of his right hand, as if to praise him, "It's a pity, if this fire is controlled by the fire system, then I might have a bit of a headache, but it's just a wildfire......" He shook his head with the largest scale of movement, "You know, one of the biggest jobs of our rangers in normal times is to deal with forest fires!" Whether it's a fire caused by a lightning strike, spontaneous combustion, or a wild Pokémon fight, it's commonplace for us......"

With a confident smile on his face, Shinichiro waved his right hand and shouted at the grass field in the middle of the fire, "Vine, let him see how our rangers deal with real wildfires!" ”

With Shinichiro's words, the burning grass field suddenly erupted into a slight shaking. The shaking was somewhat similar to the fluttering sensation that Flogg had had used to pull on the Crazy Machine's trick, but it wasn't as impressive. In the continuous trembling of the ground, those vegetation that had been shivering in the flames, withering and scorching yellow, unexpectedly regained their tenacious vitality one after another, and stood up again.

The plants bathed in yellow-green glory stood proudly in the fire, no matter how the tongue of fire licked their bodies, they did not give in in the slightest. Gradually, the wildfire, deprived of the fuel of the combustible, grew smaller and smaller, until it finally became a few embers left on a few sticks of charcoal and a few piles of grass and ashes.

"Speaking of which, I thank you for relinquishing control of the plant." Shinichiro continued to strike at Merlin, who was obviously stunned after seeing this situation, "Originally, these plants were all spawned by your wonderful frog flowers, and even if my vine monster was strong, it couldn't fully master them, but now it's different, they are reborn by my vine monster after you burned them. So, now they're all mine......"

As if to confirm what Shinichiro said, a large number of vine balls suddenly poured out from the grass field that was still smoking a little smoke and dust, and these vine balls of different colors and sizes, and even very different appearances, spread the entire grass field at a rapid speed, turning this field into a veritable thorn field.

And the vine monsters that could have been well hidden in the plants with the help of shadows and special body structures, now hidden in this absolutely home thorn field, it is even more seamless, and there is no flaw to be found.

With a burst of bitterness in his mouth, Merlin released Frog into the thorny field again at the urging of the referee, but in his heart, the five flavors were mixed and could only be mixed into a more bitter bitter taste.
