[Rewards: Released Jade x2, Overwhelming Momentum x1, Fighting Spirit x1, Victory Fragment x1, Freedom Ticket x1!]

[Overwhelming Aura: You and your Pokémon will exude an oppressive aura, causing your opponent to panic or become fearful during battle, leading to misjudgments.]

[Fighting Spirit (from Douzi): Transferring your fighting spirit to your Pokémon will temporarily increase its strength and stamina, and grant immunity to some negative status effects, but negative status effects will still take effect!]

[Victory Fragment: A power fragment from Victini, said to summon victory and greatly enhance the strength and stamina of Pokémon or humans.]

[Freedom Ferry Ticket: A tourist ferry ticket for travel to Freedom Garden Island. Boarding can be made from Flying Cloud City. Valid indefinitely.]

"Oh dear, what move was that that caused you to lose?!"

Douzi stared blankly as his Daruma baboon lay on the ground, lowering his hat brim, but quickly revealing a helpless expression.

"Well, I will win someday! Thanks for the advice!" Douzi said, then took out the prepared medicine and gave it to the Daruma baboon.

"Excuse me!" Blackie suddenly spoke up, asking Lightmoy with a puzzled look, "Your Pokémon is a Steel-type, right?"

"Why do Flame Vortex and Flame Charge seem to have no effect on it?! Even a Pokémon with high growth potential can't completely ignore a type that is super effective against it!"

Ah, that's the problem.

Lightmoss nodded.

"You noticed? That's because my Aegislash is a bit unusual. It was blessed by a more powerful Pokémon, so it can ignore attacks that are particularly effective against it. In other words..."

"My Aegislash has no weaknesses."

"Aegislash, that's the name of that Pokémon—a Pokémon without weaknesses, blessed by a powerful Pokémon."

Blackie muttered to himself, seemingly building a model in his mind: how a Pokémon without weaknesses could defeat its opponent by using the Mold Breaker ability.
Guangtai laughed and said:
"Don't overthink it. There's only one Aegislash with this ability. Other Aegislashes are still afraid of fire, and you won't encounter this kind of Pokémon in the Unova region."

"Furthermore, the so-called lack of weaknesses only means that it cannot be damaged by highly effective moves. My Aegislash is a Steel/Ghost-type Pokémon, so Water and Electric types, which can cause normal damage, are its real weaknesses right now."

He then nodded to Douzi: "I have also gained a lot of valuable power from you. That power just now was...fighting spirit."

Douzi: "Huh?"

Lightmoss: "It's because your fighting spirit was projected onto your Pokémon, which is why your Pokémon suddenly became so strong. You're not an ordinary person either. I saw that through my psychic abilities."

Douzi chuckled: "I just didn't want to lose! That's all I had in mind when I started the match!"

Lightmoss: "That's normal. The joy of winning will inspire you, while the disappointment of losing will. But it is often when you lose that you are truly tested. The world is vast, with different people, different Pokémon, and different worldviews. Go and discover them for yourself."

"The smallest powerful unit is the one that carries out its own will."

Douzi nodded, his eyes lighting up as the disappointment from his defeat vanished.

“Yes, the world is vast! You're absolutely right! To follow one's own will is all that matters!”

"An unbeatable opponent, uphold your will." Touya raised the brim of his hat, and Hikari suddenly looked at Touya: "Would you like to have a match too?"

Now that we've obtained Touko's power, why not take this opportunity to also give it to Touya from the orthodox heroes?

But Dou also laughed first:

"The reason I enjoy Pokémon battles is because I want to experience the joy of victory... Strategizing, training Pokémon, and predicting the opponent's moves in order to win... In short, the feeling of winning when you have mastered all the factors is really great."

"Conversely, if I were to fight rashly and lose, I would be very disappointed."

"Hmm, after watching Douzi's battle, I realized something: you are not the kind of opponent who can be defeated by sheer force of will."

These words startled Guangtai slightly.

So that's how it is. Is Dou here also like Master Bao's personality? He's the epitome of calm and caution, the complete opposite of Blake!

Black in the special episode is a complete brute; he's the kind of person who would stand on the roadside and shout, "I'm going to win the Pokémon League!" and might even bother some passersby.

"Hey, you can't think too much during a battle! All tactics will automatically appear once you enter the battle!"

"Haha, Douzi is still as straightforward as ever. Indeed, on the other hand, it's often impossible to devise a perfectly comprehensive tactic."

Dou thought for a moment and said, "I want to fight one-on-one."

[Celebration Mission: A Challenge from the Heroes.]

[Rewards: Released Jade x2, Overwhelming Power x1, Determination x1, Life Drop x1, High-Tech Modification x1.]

[Description: A future hero has issued a challenge. Is the hope placed on the real person or the idealist? Your words have been recorded by two heroes, who may become even more determined and committed to their ideals, turning them into reality.]

Very good, Touya's mission has also been revealed. It seems that the Tree of Entry had been eyeing him all along.

Guangtai thought to herself, and Douye sent out the battle, and sure enough, it was Warrior Eagle!

fighting!

Without much preamble, after both sides prepared their new items, Touya focused intently on the battle, his gaze sharpening.

"Wing attack!"

It immediately chose close-quarters combat, perhaps out of fear of the Iron Hoof Ray. However, after taking the medicine, the Aegislash's stamina was fully restored, and its huge dark gold shield was activated again. The King's Shield blocked the wing attack and reduced the Warrior Eagle's attack power!

However, Touya raised the brim of his hat, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

True warriors always smile during battle.

"Continue with the wing attacks!"

"Give it to me?"

Aegislash brandished its shield, which glowed with a Rock-type light!

Double-edged head hammer!

If this shot had hit, the Warrior Eagles would have been defeated instantly. However, the Warrior Eagles did not dodge or flinch, but instead used their own bodies to block the attack!
"Block it with bodybuilding and brute force!"

Touya's command at this moment left Touko, Kuroren, and Shiratsuyu bewildered, but only the Shield Sword Monster knew that he suddenly felt something extra on his body.
Sizzle! Just like the feeling of being struck by lightning, Aegislash felt a stinging pain and a sudden drain on its stamina. It wasn't the damage from the opponent's Pokémon, but from some kind of item!

A prop that looks like a spike or a vitality block is attached to the sword!

"Huh, what's that?" Lightmoy looked at the item with a puzzled expression. It looked very familiar! "Attachment Needle! A very rare item. It seems even you haven't encountered it before." Touya smiled. "When a Pokémon holds it, it will continuously take damage, but sometimes it will attach to the opponent it touches. This kind of item was first discovered on Ferrothorn. Once it's attached, it's very difficult to discard, especially for Steel-type Pokémon!"

"I just thought of this idea. Your Aegislash only works with water and electricity attacks, and coincidentally, my Warrior Eagle can't master offensive moves of those two attributes, so we can only work on items."

"Now, attach the Attachment Needle to your Pokémon. Its HP will continuously decrease, and all I need is Air Blade!"

The Warrior Eagle flapped its wings, unleashing countless air blades that bombarded the ground. The Aegislash raised its shield to defend itself, but the stinging sensation was steadily weakening it!
This has nothing to do with whether or not you resist; it's a life deduction based on your maximum life value!
"Ah, that hateful Grass Steel," Guangtai thought to himself. Meanwhile, the Warrior Eagle's plan was clearly to use the Air Blade to constantly fight back and force the enemy to retreat, in order to achieve final victory. This was Douye's tactical plan.

Very good. However, the new item I gave Aegislash to carry is...
At this moment, Guangtai also saw that a strange energy was emanating from Douye's body!

Is it "the determination of a hero"?
This power was also transferred to his Pokémon! The Braviary's energy increased dramatically!
The eyes of the Aegislash gleamed with superpowers, and countless psychic blades were deployed across the field like threads. The Warrior Eagle was startled as the psychic blades surrounded it in the form of a "birdcage"!

Douzi: "A move can be used in this way?! This is..."

Hei Lian: "It's a mental blade, isn't it?! It should be?!"

Bai Lu: "You look so amazing!"

They watched the warrior eagle locked in the sky and realized for the first time that the use of moves did not have to follow the standard fighting style. Sometimes, when a certain move was mastered, one could freely manipulate these moves to use special tactics that were different from the standard fighting style!
"Divine Bird Strike! Charge out!" Dou Ye certainly wouldn't sit idly by in this situation. He ordered the Warrior Eagle to fold its wings and gather its strength, using one of the strongest flying-attribute ultimate moves to break through the mentally sealed birdcage!

"A powerful light enveloped [the Warrior Eagle]!"

But just as it was gathering its strength, a dark shadow shot straight up from the ground into the sky!

Fierce and powerful shadow attack!

The shadowy longsword transformed into a javelin, striking the warrior eagle directly. Immediately following, the Shield Sword Monster unleashed a powerful attack, soaring into the sky!
At this moment, the Divine Bird Strike was fully charged, and its brilliant flight light illuminated the entire land. Then, it charged down towards the Shielded Sword Monster with unstoppable momentum!
The birdcage made of spiritual blades was torn apart, and the sacred giant bird soaring in the sky was solemn and fierce!
It's now.

The moss gave the instructions in its mind.

As expected, the Divine Bird anticipated Aegislash's movements. When Aegislash made the gesture of using its King's Shield, it soared into the sky at an extremely fast speed. It did not cancel its Divine Bird status, but instead took advantage of the gap after Aegislash used its shield to return!

Divine Bird Strikes, Second Time!

However, the Aegislash was prepared!
Power Trick!

Use superpowers to exchange your offensive and defensive abilities!

This means that even in sword form, it still possesses powerful defensive capabilities!

The giant divine bird struck the sword but did not cause any effective damage. Immediately afterwards, the Shielded Sword Monster slammed its petrified shield against it!
Double-edged mace!

This time the attack was solid, and Aegislash immediately switched its form again!
The moves used in shield form actually possess great power?

That's because the Power Trick has swapped the attack and defense values!
The move, used only at this moment, employs attaching needles to gradually weaken the opponent's health. However, this also benefits the Aegislash, because the move used at this time is—

Bring back to life!

Moreover, the Aegislash has entered a special "Holy Swordsman" state!
Holy Swordsman's status - Chance of hitting a vital point +2!

"Why is this happening!"

Dou watched in astonishment as his warrior eagle was struck and plummeted to the ground with a thud, rendered incapable of fighting!

Lightmoss: "Ah, because the item I gave Aegislash to carry this time is the Life Orb."

"Reduce HP to deal higher damage, and at the same time, it can be used in conjunction with moves like Resurrection to counterattack, although I really didn't expect the Attaching Needle."

"Phew, we failed. The joy of victory has slipped away."

Dou sighed helplessly.

"But I think I have carried out my will. Tactics are proof of my will. Well, this failure will make me stronger next time."

"Mr. Hikari, what are your thoughts on combat?"

Little did they know that what they wanted to complain about even more now was the moss.

The new trainers in Unova are a bit too strong.

It has to be said, he truly deserves to be called a hero of the new era, starting with a level 54 Warrior Eagle! The more I think about it, the more outrageous it seems.

Faced with Touya's question, Hikari thought for a moment:
"Of course we should reflect and examine ourselves when we are defeated, but winning does not mean that there are no flaws in the battle. We are the same. We are still newcomers in terms of battle. I did not start my journey with the purpose of battle. In short, I am not the kind of trainer who is particularly good at battle."

Hikari's self-deprecating manner made Tou chuckle: "If someone like you isn't considered a particularly skilled battle trainer, then..."

"The highest mountain, the longest river. I know such people on that snow-capped mountain. So, where are the most skilled trainers in battle? And what is the purpose of becoming strong? A trainer should possess more than just strength; the secret to strength lies in the spirit of forging ahead. That's my belief."

"A champion I know once said that battling is about letting yourself and your Pokémon shine on a bigger stage. In short, your future is definitely bright."

"Also, don't forget the time you spent with Pokémon; those memories are the most precious treasure. That's my answer."

Dou carefully pondered these words, while Hei Lian seemed to be deep in thought.

In fact, the relentless pursuit of strength, through the combination of theory and practice, to become a stronger trainer, has always been Blackman's goal. He had already begun calculating and planning even before he became a trainer.

However, everything he encountered in the black-and-white storyline changed him, including his meeting with Adek, which made him realize that strength is not the end of everything.

"Helping each other in crucial moments is the most important thing, which is why humans and Pokémon have always lived together. Rather than defeating others, it's better to try to climb to the top."

The whisper of the moss startled Hei Lian awake. Looking ahead, he saw the prop craftsman giving him a gentle smile.

That's right
Hei Lian had gained some insights.

At this time, the Lightmoss received the reward from the Tree of Connection.
