Elf: This owner is so sunny.

Chapter 353 Darkrai: No buddy, are you playing hypnosis in front of me?

"Sure enough, it is more difficult than I thought to simply end this battle. During this period of time, your growth should be more than just those two beasts."

After taking back Lucario who had lost his ability to fight, Sirona looked at Bai Yu with burning eyes.

Since her debut, she has had no rivals in the Sinnoh region. Looking at the entire Pokémon world, there are only a very few people she can take seriously.

The match against Bai Yu also made Shirona experience a long-lost failure, which aroused Shirona's long-lost competitive spirit. No matter what, she would not fall like this in this battle.

The game has just begun.

"Champion Sirona, you are right. The competition has just begun."

Bai Yu nodded, and then added: "I didn't say that I only have these two beasts."

Sirona has already put five Pokémon on the field, among which Garchomp seems to be in very bad condition, but it must not lose its fighting ability for a moment and cannot relax at all.

Garchomp can mega evolve. Given Garchomp's current state, it will definitely mega evolve in the future. This is one of the few battle systems that can be used in the Kanto region.

Other than that, Glaceon and Sea Slug are not a concern, as those two Pokémon can only be effective in specific battles.

It's the sixth Pokémon that needs to be watched out for.

Ah!
This is the Pokémon that defeated Ash alone against three other Pokémon. In the Sinnoh region, it is known as the Incarnation of Resentment.

Bai Yu also has a flower rock monster in his hand, but compared with the one in Shirona, there is still a big gap.

"Then show it to your heart's content."

Sirona took out a Poké Ball and threw it forward.

"The rest of the battle is up to you! Flower Rock Monster!"

Accompanied by a low, ghostly sound, a keystone fell in front of Shirona.

A ball of mysterious gaseous substance slowly surged upward from the keystone, with parts resembling a mouth and eyes inside the substance.

"Hey hey hey~"

The Flower Rock Monster made a strange sound. It was still daytime, but the audience outside the venue could clearly feel a hint of coolness, which was obviously coming from that Pokémon.

"Flower Rock Monster, I remember that Master Baiyu also has one in his hand."

"Yes! I used it when I fought against Shinji's brother Leiji before. I didn't expect that the Sirona champion also had this evil Pokémon~"

"Gulu~ How scary~"

The audience outside the venue couldn't help but feel a little scared, fear of the flower rock monster.

Ghost-type Pokémon already carry a strange energy, not to mention that Globular's attributes are both ghost and dark. This combination of attributes makes its aura even more strange.

"Grevo, I wonder how Master Baiyu Gym will respond." Wu Neng raised his eyebrows. He had seen Sirona use Grevo, and with this Pokémon alone, she almost swept the Four Heavenly Kings of the Sinnoh League.

Extremely powerful!

"The Flower Rock Monster~ I was reluctant to let it go into battle when Latios was just now."

Bai Yu looked carefully at the flower rock monster in front of him.

The aura of the Flower Rock Monster is indeed weird, and the moves it has learned are very diverse. The Flower Rock Monster can perfectly master the transformation spells, hypnosis, dream eating, phosphorous fire, etc. The remaining offensive moves are also mainly changeable.

Not to mention, the flower rock monster in front of us has the same name.

"It's a little troublesome." Bai Yu was thinking about how to deal with the Flora in front of him. He had to be cautious in choosing Pokémon, but since the opponent was a dark-type Pokémon, why not let a dark-type Pokémon play?

Bai Yu did it right away. He took out a high-end ball, smiled confidently, and threw it forward.

"Here's your chance to play, Darkrai, the Nightmare God!"

"Om~"

An ethereal sound was heard on the field, and a dark figure appeared in front of Bai Yu.

The slender legs tapped the ground lightly, and an evil aura enveloped Lagann. As a fellow evil-type Pokémon, Lagann could intuitively feel the malice coming from the Pokémon in front of it.

One of the mythical Pokémon, a being that can bring endless nightmares.

Darkrai!

Sirona looked at Darkrai in front of her, and couldn't help but recall the battle half a year ago.

The Darkrai in front of him had replaced her main weapon, Land Shark, half a year ago.

Its combat power is unmatched by any ordinary Pokémon.

Compared with the two legendary beasts that appeared earlier, the nightmare god Darkrai will obviously bring more pressure to Shirona.

"That's...Darkrai!"

Cattleya swallowed a mouthful of water. As someone who grew up in the Sinnoh region, how could she not know the name of the Nightmare God? In addition to Latios and Martial Arts Bear Master, there was actually another legendary beast!
Oh my god! Is this really a gym leader from the Kanto region? !

The strength was a bit too outrageous. At this moment, Cattleya also recovered from the shock and looked at Sirona on the field. Sirona's expression was not surprised. Obviously, she had seen Darkrai in front of her a long time ago. Oh, right, the battle half a year ago... Could it be that he had subdued Darkrai half a year ago! !
"Flower Rock Monster, Phosphorus Fire!" Shirona gave the order decisively.

We cannot be as careless as before when dealing with Darkrai. As the guardian of Poplar Town, its strength will only be stronger than what we saw half a year ago.

The Flower Rock Monster let out a strange laugh and raised an orange-yellow flame. Countless ghost-like purple flames gathered around its body. The flames gradually condensed and rippled in the air as they flew towards Darkrai.

"Shadow clone."

Darkrai's figure seemed to blend into the darkness, spreading outwards quickly. A series of phantoms confused the actions of the Rock Monster, and the will-o'-the-wisp fire that rushed up rushed towards the Darkrai figures around it.

The moment the will-o'-the-wisp touched the phantom, the phantom disappeared along with the will-o'-the-wisp.

Until Darkrai's figure completely disappeared from the field, Rock Monster looked around in confusion, trying to find Darkrai.

At this time, Darkrai quietly appeared behind the Rock Flower Monster, appearing in its blind spot.

"Flower Monster, be careful behind you."

The Flower Rock Monster turned its body in a particularly strange way and also noticed the phantom that appeared behind it.

"Dark hole." Bai Yu ordered again.

"Hold."

Darkrai condensed a jet-black sphere with one hand, which condensed into a rock monster that shot towards the field.

A dark hole of evil.

The Flower Monster let out a sneering laugh, and a dark light enveloped its body.

The pitch-black sphere attacked the body of the Rock Monster, but was blocked by the light barrier that the Rock Monster had condensed early on. No matter how dazzling the light was, it could not cause any damage to the Rock Monster.

Guard can block most moves, making their power and effects ineffective, but some moves can also cause damage to the Pokémon that is guarding. Feint is a good example, and among the change moves, Roar is the most typical example, which is much later than Guard, but can force the opponent's Pokémon to rotate.

Keep it.

Being able to defend against Darkrai for one round does not necessarily mean that you can defend against Darkrai for the second round.

Bai Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. The hit rate of the Dark Hole was worrying. Fortunately, this was reality. As long as it hit, unless the opponent used defense, the move would definitely hit and send them directly into a sleepy sleep and have nightmares.

"Flower Rock Monster, hypnosis!"

After resisting the dark hole, Sirona attacked again.

This time she chose to hypnotize Darkrai in front of her.

The Flower Rock Monster's eyes widened, with an eerie purple glow on his expression. A powerful superpower spread outward, and the superpower light waves caused ripples in the air.

Psychic hypnosis.

After hitting, it can put the opponent into a sleeping state, with the same effect as the dark hole.

Darkrai stared at the hypnosis in front of him, anger evident on his face.

OK OK.

In front of my nightmare god, using hypnosis-type tricks.

You don't even regard me, the Nightmare God, as a divine beast!

Do you really think you are the Nightmare God? After sleeping, you can use your characteristics and moves to carry out long-term slashing attacks? Make the opponent lose the ability to fight during sleep? !
This is really underestimating my Darkrai!
"Darkrai!"

"Dak!"

As Bai Yu finished speaking, a dark light rose in Darkrai's hand, and his body quickly retreated backwards. The light in his hand turned into a dark sphere, which he aimed at the body of the Rock Monster and threw at it.

A dark hole of evil.

The dark hole tore a channel in the circle of hypnosis and hit the flower monster that was still releasing hypnosis. The flower monster's body paused, and the purple mysterious substance that surged from the wedge stone shrank into the wedge stone little by little, and the hypnosis on the field dissipated.

Like playing hypnosis?!

I'll show you what a real nightmare god is!
"Darkrai, use Meditation!"

The Rock Monster was sleeping soundly inside the keystone, while Darkrai on the field closed his eyes, mobilizing the energy in his body, continuously refining it, and raising a ray of white light.

Special Attack and Special Defense were raised by one level at this moment.

The sleeping Rock Monster suddenly saw a figure of Darkrai in its dream. Like a ghost, he slapped the Rock Monster with one claw. The keystone on the field shook slightly, but there was no sign of waking up.

"meditation!"

Bai Yu, who had been strengthened once, gave orders again.

The Grizzlies on the field no longer have any combat capability, so why not take this opportunity to improve Darkrai's attributes, so that he can have a good chance of winning even when facing the mega evolved Garchomp.

Darkrai made a dull sound, stood on the ground, closed his eyes tightly, adjusted the energy in his body again, and then opened his eyes again. A dark light flashed in his eyes, and the special attack and special defense were raised to the next level at this moment.

While being strengthened, the Flower Rock Monster in the dream continued to suffer from the nightmare characteristics. Its body was tortured beyond words. The wedgestone shook slightly again, but there was still no sign of waking up.

Shirona no longer hesitated and decisively took back the Rock Monster on the field, allowing Darkrai to upgrade. There was no need to continue the battle.

I'm afraid that by that time, Darkrai could just throw a Shadow Ball and cause fatal damage to Garchomp.

It is necessary to understand Darkrai's enhancements.

Shirona had a complicated expression, but her hands moved without slowing down at all. She quickly locked onto a Pokémon and threw it forward.

"Sea Rabbit. I'll leave the rest to you."

Be it Glaceon or Garchomp, neither of them has the trick to reduce the opponent's abilities to zero.

But Sea Slug has it, and it is more comprehensive than Glaceon.

It is difficult for Sea Slug's characteristics to be effective in this battle. After all, the water-drawing characteristic is only effective for water-based moves. The remaining moves can be regarded as having no characteristics.

The slimy figure reappeared on the field, its big round eyes looking at Darkrai in the sky.

"Sea Haremon. Didn't let Garchomp play?"

Bai Yu was a little hesitant. Logically, it should be Land Shark that should be on the field at this moment.

Sea Slug's combat power is not strong to begin with, and it is very difficult for it to deal with Darkrai, not to mention that Darkrai has increased his special attack by two levels at this moment.

"I remember that Sea Aplysia doesn't know Black Fog. Is it to change the status or..." Bai Yu made a calm judgment, and the data panel of Sea Aplysia appeared in his mind, trying to find a suitable trick.

However, Sirona would not give Bai Yu so much time to think.

"Sea Haremon, Smoke of Clearance!"

The Sea Slug opened its mouth and spewed out a thick smoke. The dark purple smoke with a strange glow spread outward with the Sea Slug as the center.

"Don't even think about it. Use the wave of evil."

The moment Bai Yu heard it, he immediately gave the order that the Sea Slug's move must be interrupted. He originally thought it was the black fog, but he didn't expect it to be this move.

The Poison-type Clearing Smoke releases a large amount of poison gas, causing damage to the opponent while eliminating all of the opponent's energy change levels. However, when the target is in a stand state and cannot be selected, the target's ability changes cannot be cleared.

Bai Yu didn't react for a moment and was almost killed by the Sea Slug.

Darkrai gathered a strange evil wave in his hands, which spread forward, passed through the poisonous gas in front of him, and hit the body of the Sea Slug directly. The speed was extremely fast and the attack was extremely strong.

Boom~
The wave of evil hit Sea Slug heavily, and the strong evil energy exploded. Sea Slug let out a painful wail, and its body was knocked back by this force, and a thick smoke splashed on the field.

The sea slug didn't stay for long. Its body went limp and it fell heavily, no longer having the strength to stand up.

The previous battle had already consumed a lot of Sea Slug's physical strength. This +2 wave of evil hit his body. With Sea Slug's limited defense, how could it block the sharpness of the wave of evil?
At the moment when the Sea Slug fell, the poisonous gas also spread up. A red light rose from Darkrai's body, and his previously enhanced abilities were also affected by the clearing smoke and dissipated.

"Sea Rabbit is incapable of fighting, Darkrai wins!"

The referee walked up, took a look at the state of the Sea Slug, shook his head and shouted loudly.

"Master Baiyu has defeated many Pokémon of the Sirona champion in succession."

"Right now, Gyrox is in a sleeping state, Garchomp is in a very bad state, Glaceon is in good condition, but as for Gym Master Shiro..."

Wu Neng looked up at the big screen. Baiyu had a total of five Pokémon on the stage. Darkrai and Tigerblade were in excellent condition, and Ursa Major was in the same condition as Garchomp.

Before they knew it, Shirona's team had become badly wounded and was finding it difficult to maintain their winning streak!
