Chapter Twenty-Eight: Fist to Flesh

"Shanaiduo?"

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

"Is this the resource of the Alliance's descendant trainers?"

"It's so elegant~or a different color~"

The audience was quiet at first, and then it became lively in an instant.

A painter in his thirties, wearing glasses, held a large drawing board, did not say a word, and stared at Shanaiduo without blinking.

The pencil in his hand rustles against the drawing board.

It stands to reason that although Shanaiduo is extremely rare, it is not enough to make them so excited...... But as the first gym here, it is common to see Pokémon such as fire rabbits and childish, and the battle is like playing at home, although it is also quite interesting, but it is not enjoyable after all......

Where is the lineup of Shanado VS Cunning Tengu to attract attention?

Xu Qiansu listened to the noise in the audience and couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows.

Although he doesn't hate Pokémon battles, he doesn't have much interest in them, but he's in the 'whatever' stage.

Challenge the gym, firstly, to make yourself slightly worthy of Gardelia, secondly, to accompany Miss Marly, and thirdly, to meet the expectations of the little master Caidou.

Therefore, whether the audience praised him or belittled him, he only felt noisy.

"Shanaina~" Shanaiduo turned his head slightly and looked sideways at Xu Qiansu.

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

Shanado smiled coquettishly and nodded slightly, meaning that he would definitely win. ’

She turned her head and looked at the cunning tengu who was dozens of meters away from her, and the smile on her little face narrowed down and turned solemn.

Her instincts as a Pokémon tell her that this cunning tengu is dangerous.

In Shanaiduo's heart, there is a division of strength for the Pokémon he has seen.

The first gear is undoubtedly the fierce bite land shark of Zhulan, Pokkeis and other unreachable mountains.

The second gear is the kind of Morubec that although he will fall into a hard battle, he can also win two out of ten battles, and with a little luck, he can barely have a winning rate......

As for the third tranche...... If you have a 70% chance of winning, Shanaiduo won't take them seriously...... It's just a traitor.

And this cunning tengu clearly belongs to the second gear...... After all, this is the lineup that Yarrow used to challenge for the final of the Champions Cup.

The cultivation time alone is older than Shanaiduo's...... Although Shanaiduo is extremely talented, it is impossible for the cunning tengu to be caught up by Shanaiduo casually after the accumulation of these years.

Even if this cunning tengu could release water, it would not be possible for Sanato to win easily...... But it doesn't matter.

Sanato gathered his mind and sensed the movements of the cunning tengu.

She also has trainers, and her trainers are no worse than anyone else...... Shanaiduo has unconditional trust in Xu Qiansu.

The two Pokémon stood opposite each other, but neither of them took the lead, just silently observing each other's movements.

The solemn and oppressive atmosphere gradually lingered, and the audience couldn't help but be quiet, and everyone stared intently at this extremely rare 'high-end game'.

Finally, a little kid with a lollipop in his mouth sat in his mother's arms, looked at the battlefield below, and then sniffed and couldn't help but sneeze.

At that moment, Yarrow moved.

He waved his hand violently, "Leaf Blade!" ”

The moment the word 'leaf' came out, the cunning tengu bent his knees slightly, and immediately stepped on it violently, and the grass instantly made a muffled sound, and some cracks appeared on the surface along with the splash of earth.

The distance of 100 meters was fleeting, and Xu Qiansu only felt a green light flash, and the cunning tengu had already come to the side and back of Shanaiduo.

It stepped on the ground with its forefoot, its body slightly bent, like a tense longbow twisting its waist and abdomen, and the blade carried green light, like an out-of-body sword swinging towards the back of Shanaiduo's heart from the bottom up.

With this ghostly speed, Yarrow really showed mercy!?

"Right rear!"

Xu Qiansu's reaction was not unpleasant, and he immediately opened his mouth to remind.

There was a chill on his back, even though Shanaiduo had previously released his spiritual power to perceive it with all his might, it was one thing to perceive it, and it was another thing to be able to react.

Shanado disappeared in an instant, but appeared behind the cunning tengu......

Teleport!

With the speed of a cunning tengu, if it weren't for teleportation, it would have been impossible for Sanato to dodge the leaf blade.

Yaluo was slightly stunned, a Pokémon like Shanaiduo was the most afraid of melee combat, how could he teleport behind the cunning tengu?

But the situation did not give Yarrow little time to react.

......The cunning tengu didn't look back, following the inertia of the blade, he stepped on the ground with one foot, and took this as the starting point and spun abruptly, and his other hand lit up with a green glow, obviously trying to use the combo to attack instead of defending, and defeat Shanado in one go.

The whole action is smooth and unobstructed, and it is obvious that the combat experience is extremely rich.

Syllable.

But Shanaiduo didn't dodge, he actually stepped forward, taking advantage of a slight distance, his forearm was slightly bent, and he directly used his elbow to resist the cunning Tengu's wrist.

The cunning tengu may have more strength than Shanado, but when he was pressed against his wrist, this posture was obviously difficult to exert force, and the leaf blade was naturally difficult to hit.

Shanado flipped his wrist slightly, and instead grasped the wrist of the cunning tengu.

The cunning tengu was slightly stunned, it had also fought many times with a Pokémon like Shanaiduo, and it was the best way to play with a melee attack, but ...... But how is this Shanaiduo a little different?

The surging flames instantly appeared on Shanado's small hand, rising in the wind, and the scorching heat interrupted the cunning tengu's thoughts.

"Seed machine gun!" Arlo ordered himself behind him with a slight anxious order.

Bang!

But before the sound could be heard, the Flame Fist had already smashed down on the cunning Tengu's face door from top to bottom, and the surging flames even passed directly through the cunning tengu's head and shot straight into the grass, causing a large area of scorched black on the ground.

"Library!" The cunning tengu was a little confused, it was already twice restrained by the fire system, and now it was smashed on the head like this, and it was uncomfortable.

The strong wind was blowing, and the aftermath blew the bangs in front of Xu Qiansu's forehead.

"Right leg." He said calmly.

Right? What do you mean?

Shanado lifted his foot slightly, and in an instant, his slender calf slammed into the cunning tengu's right leg.

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

"How would he know...... An old wound from the cunning tengu? Yaluo looked at Xu Qiansu in disbelief.

The cunning tengu can be regarded as fighting for Yarrow for many years, and he has carefully recuperated after each battle, so he has not left any dark wounds, but ...... Four months ago, in the final of the last Champions Cup, he was defeated by Ma Li's old brother Nie Zi, and the cunning tengu suffered a serious injury to his right leg at that time.

Now that I've been recuperating for so long, it won't affect the battle anymore...... But after all, it has not fully recovered, and if it is deliberately targeted, it is still easy to have problems.

You must know that Nie Zi's strength is basically two among the Gym Masters in Galar, and because he doesn't rely on Extreme Giant at all, the Pokémon's single strength is already stronger than other Gym Masters...... Therefore, the injuries inflicted on the cunning tengu are naturally more severe.

But how could Xu Qiansu know about this kind of private information?

The power of his waveguide...... After all, it can't just be used to talk to Pokémon.

One of the characteristics of the power of waveguides is the ability to observe them in such a subtle way.

Shanato looked down at the half-kneeling cunning tengu from above, and then his little hand lit up again.

Bang!

The cunning tengu felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and his body slammed into the grass with this force, and in an instant the ground cracked, and the earth flew and smoke and dust flew everywhere.

In the face of a strong enemy like the cunning tengu, it is naturally impossible for Shanato to show mercy to his subordinates.

"Cunning tengu...... Actually at a disadvantage? ”

"Shhh This Shanaiduo...... Isn't it an Ereludor in a Shanaido holster!? Why did she beat people with her fists!? ”

"Is this Shanaiduo male or female!?"

"But it's so strong~"

The audience was instantly uproarious, and the words were full of disbelief.

Liliai's small hands clenched the corners of her skirt tightly, and her big eyes looked at the middle of the field without blinking.

The two flame fists were hit, and they also induced the old injuries of the cunning tengu, seeing that the situation was very good, Xu Qiansu was not happy, and immediately reminded: "Back! ”

Rumble!

As the words fell, he saw that cracks suddenly erupted in the grass behind Shanaiduo, and then the cunning tengu suddenly burst out of the ground, and large swaths of its white sideburns, which looked like long hair, became charred, but its expression was cold, as if the previous two flame fists had not caused any harm to it at all.

A battle-hardened Pokémon like this is not strong or not, but at least ...... Each one has rough skin and thick flesh, and is very resistant to beating.

"Megaton Heavy Kick!" Yarrow shouted, smiling.

Since you're good at hand-to-hand combat, I'll use hand-to-hand combat!

"Library!" The cunning tengu stomped one foot, and the other leg kicked from the side like a whip.

Shanaiduo's eyes flashed with a hint of gold, and she wanted to use teleportation...... However, considering that the consumption of teleportation is too great, if the cunning tengu uses a teleportation dodge every time he attacks, he will definitely end up with his mental power exhausted and defeated without the power to fight back.

Thinking of this, Shanaiduo turned back sharply, stretched out his little hand, and a pale green barrier appeared in front of him......

Hold!

The megaton kicked and held the front, and the next moment there was a pale green barrier that clicked and was full of cobweb-like cracks.

Shanaiduo did not hesitate, and Yingying's slender waist leaned back sharply.

But in the next moment, the barrier was completely broken, and the million-ton heavy kick of the cunning tengu swept in front of Sanado, and the strong wind hunted, making Sanato's hair flutter.

"Hmm! What a beautiful posture! The young woman's painter's hand moved faster on the canvas, and the rustling sound was incessant.

When Shanaiduo's body leaned back, he saw that the cunning tengu had already adjusted his posture, and his hands were covered with green mangs, and two leaf blades were slashed one after another.

Seeing this, Shanado did not hesitate to press down, almost lying on the grass, and then she avoided the blade of the leaf in danger, and then in the next moment she held the ground with both hands, her soft body rose slightly as if dancing, her legs slightly bent, and then her feet kicked the cunning tengu's chest like springs.

Bang bang!

The cunning tengu was kicked by Sanado's kick, and then Sanado slammed the ground with one hand, allowing himself to turn sideways, and with the other hand as a support, with the force of rotation, taking advantage of the moment when the cunning tengu's body was stunned, he slammed a sideways kick on the cunning tengu's right leg again.

Another attack on the old wounds!

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

"What a sense of strength!" The young woman painter looked at Shanaido without blinking.

"Seed machine gun!" Arlo laughed even more happily, knowing that his cunning tengu would not be able to defeat Shanado in melee combat, so he shouted loudly.

Obviously enjoying this Pokémon battle.

"Flame Fist!"

With a slight push of her other hand, she stood on the grass, and then twisted her waist and abdomen, and the crimson flames took her as the origin, slashed through a semicircle in the air, and slashed at the waist and abdomen of the cunning tengu that flew up in the air.

However, this is more like a flame knife than a flame fist.

Bang!

The scattered air was filled with extremely hot sparks.

The cunning tengu instantly flew upside down into the distance like an arrow from a string, but as he flew upside down, he suddenly spat out hundreds of seed machine guns, one by one carrying emerald green tailitis and shooting towards Shanaido like meteors.

At this moment, the old force has just gone, and the new force has not yet been born, so it is impossible for him to have the strength to dodge, so he has to hand over his hands to block the only thing left in front of him, and use his mental power to resist this seed machine gun as much as possible.

Bang bang bang!

Half of the seed machine gun was blocked in the air by Shanaiduo's spiritual power, but the other half was mercilessly smashed on her body.

It was only at this moment that the cunning tengu smashed on the grass and slid backwards several meters before it bounced off the ground and stood still, gasping for breath.

Shanaiduo lowered his hand and couldn't help but caress the spot where he was hit by the seed machine gun......

It hurts~

Shanaiduo looked back at Xu Qiansu, looking very aggrieved, full of pitiful gestures.

Anyone who sees it will think that the cunning tengu is not a thing at all.

However, Xu Qiansu hadn't spoken yet, and the audience couldn't sit still.

"Hey! Cunning Tengu, how can you, a Pokémon who has debuted for so many years, have the face to fight Shanado with all your might!? ”

"This is the Gym Challenge! Shouldn't you put water out!? ”

"Shhh Cunning Tengu, what's the matter with you!? Isn't the strength shown by Shanaiduo not enough to get the Grass Badge!? Hurry up and surrender! ”

Given that Yalo is a very popular and people-friendly gym owner, the audience doesn't mention Yalo at all, just picking on the thorn of the cunning tengu.

Shanaiduo looked at Xu Qiansu aggrievedly, and held his little hand gently, meaning, "After the battle, can you go to the bubble bath?" ’

Shanaiduo obviously enjoyed the feeling of taking a bath with Xu Qiansu.

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

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

"Library?" The cunning tengu was dumbfounded, completely unable to understand the thoughts of humans.

W-what's the matter with it!? And it's clear that it's the one who gets beaten the hardest!?

And look at that Shanaido!

Where is she pitiful!?

Yaluo didn't care at all, he grinned and said bluntly: "You are worthy of being a disciple of Caidou, in terms of melee combat alone, my Pokémon can't compare to you." ”

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

Xu Qiansu raised his eyes to look, but saw that the sun was shining and the sun was swaying down in the sky above the battlefield in the open air.

…… Sunny.

The cunning tengu has used his skills to change the weather and gain the advantage of the field.

When? At least not when Fang Cai Shanaiduo was coquettish.

Yaluo Fang is pretending to use melee combat to lower Xu Qiansu's vigilance, but in fact, he is dedicated to two things, secretly preparing for a sunny day?

It should be yes, if it weren't for that, the cunning tengu wouldn't have been completely crushed by Sanado in melee combat.

Although Yarrow is kind and has the image of a sunny and cheerful big brother, as long as it involves a Pokémon battle, one of the trainers on that field is black-hearted...... Of course, Ash can be ruled out, he generally only uses quick attack and does not play these yin tricks.

On a sunny day, the power of fire-based moves increases and the power of water-based moves decreases, but for Yarrow, the most important thing is ......

Solar Flame's charge time is greatly reduced, as well as ......

"Photosynthesis!" Yarrow said in a loud voice.

"Library!" The cunning tengu stretched out its arms to meet the direct sunlight, only to see bursts of pale green fluorescence appear on its surface, healing its injuries.

The cunning tengu was already bloody, and now he added this recovery skill...... It's a simple but practical way to play.

Yaluo looked at Xu Qiansu, and there was a slight provocation in his eyes, which meant that the cunning tengu was currently recovering at full strength, do you want to step forward and interrupt it?

If you don't interrupt, all previous offensives are meaningless.

If you choose to interrupt it...... That is to enter Yaluo's trap, and if Yaluo leads him by the nose, he will definitely be yin.

Xu Qiansu didn't choose to interrupt, but it was impossible to wait.

"Trick Space."

Shanaiduo's amber eyes flashed with a hint of purple, and when he stretched out his little hand, his majestic spiritual power instantly gushed out.

As a challenger, Xu Qiansu has an innate advantage...... He can rotate, but Arlo can't, and his cunning tengu can only fight until he is completely incapacitated.

The speed of the Cunning Tengu cannot be left unguarded, but fortunately, even the fastest Six-Tails in the team is faster than the Cunning Tengu...... Therefore, the magic space is beneficial and harmless.

"Huh? Trick space......" Yarrow looked up at the purple prism space that had already wrapped the entire field, "This skill is not something that many super Pokémon can master. ”

He lowered his eyes to Shanaiduo, "It seems that not only melee combat, but also superpowers...... It's really a Pokémon that has been bred to near perfection. ”

The daylight that spreads through the magic space takes on a misty layer of lilac.

However, the juggle space does not cancel out the effect of a sunny day.

If you want to completely erase the sunny day, unless you can use weather moves of the same specification, it is a pity that none of Xu Qiansu's Pokémon is the type that masters the weather.
