Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 393 Oh, even you have closed your eyes!

Miss Skirt danced a victory dance, and when her stats skyrocketed, Lingzhi was startled!
Not only are there Pokémon I've never seen before, but there are also moves I've never seen before!

As he looked at the moss more and more, it seemed increasingly familiar, so he began to try to recall it carefully.

Think quickly, use your brain!

I must have seen this person somewhere before!
That should be it.
"The Hollywood exhibition match in Liyong City! On television!"

Blueberry finally remembered: "The super guitarist of the Avast Band!"

"Oh?" Guangtai was slightly taken aback.

So far, I am known by quite a few people, but they usually know me through plasma clusters or works of art.

I got to know blueberries through a concert.

It seems that this descendant of a fallen noble family is not very interested in "painting art" or "plasma clusters".

"However, even if I remembered such things, it wouldn't help in the battle, so I didn't show any Pokémon at the concert."

“That’s true.” Yueju shrugged. “However, after that, I occasionally learned about you while chatting with people I knew.”

"Lian Wu told me that you are a master of combat skills! And a martial arts master!"

"I suppose so." Guangtai did not deny it. At the same time, Miss Skirt's Dance of Victory was layered again, and her output and speed reached a terrifying level.

However, the cleaver commander of the jasmine was very cautious and did not launch an attack, seemingly recalling unbearable memories from the dream world.

No matter how strong I am, I am still four times weaker in combat and twice as weaker in fire.

If I remember correctly from the dream world, this Miss Skirt, this incomparably beautiful Pokémon, is not only a master of Fighting, but she should also know Fire-type moves!
This was heard from those wild Pokémon, as well as Calyrex and that Water Dragon.

Although it sounds extremely outrageous, I heard that she also used the "playing" ability to become "ignite," which made Steel Soldier very impressed.

Fire-attribute moves can be achieved using sunny weather and Weather Balls!
This can only be described as a difference in talent!

At the time, I just listened casually and didn't pay attention, but now I have to analyze it frame by frame!

"Goo!"

Oh dear, even the Commander of the Slashers has closed his eyes!
It seems I have no choice but to abandon my principles and resort to any means to achieve victory!

Unlike typical cleaver commanders, the Blueberry Cleaver Commander possesses exceptional martial spirit, making it an anomaly among its kind. However, when facing stronger opponents...
Is martial virtue useful?

"snatch!"

When facing an opponent with changing abilities, Yueju naturally has her own fighting style!

After using Steal, if another Pokémon successfully uses a status move that is advantageous to itself or the field in the same turn, you will immediately steal its effect!

The dance of victory is mine!

Steel Soldier's eyes were tightly closed!
Beautiful martial arts lady, don't call me despicable!
In order to achieve victory by any means necessary, I have simply resorted to a moral "regression"!
Oh wow. What incredible power this is!

God, are you watching?
This is the power that brings victory!

Attack, defense, speed—a dramatic boost! I can't believe there's such a powerful move in the world!
"Nonsense! Black eyes!"

At the same time, Cranberry naturally wouldn't allow Miss Skirt to add more dangerous Victory Dance. An invisible aura of evil descended, preventing the opponent from using the same move twice in a row!
Black light emanated from the Commander's eyes, halting Miss Skirt's escape and rotation! Opponents caught in the light were forced to stop!
She moved three times in a row, which would be illegal in a turn-based game. However, Miss Skirt showed no intention of retaliating. Guangtai also knew that Yueju was different from his "gambler" class and tended to use stable moves in battle.

In other words, in battles, the unexpected ones aren't the gamblers; even those with a 95% accuracy rate won't use it.
"Did you have really bad luck in the match?"

The lingonberry's expression darkened when Guangtai's words struck a nerve.

Isn't it common for people to miss three times in a row?

What if the enemy gets a triple ground shatter while our hypnosis misses all three times? 95% accuracy is practically zero. Even someone who isn't a gambler will encounter this kind of thing!

"Slay the commander, bring him down!"

After completing its plan, the jasmine immediately began to act, and the cleaver commander, whose abilities had been fully enhanced, finally opened its eyes!
My heart is devoid of both joy and sorrow!

This slap represents my whole heart and soul!
Tap tap tap tap tap—

Steel Soldier was taken aback:
"Uh?!"

"Can't get it right now, huh! You like using dark perspectives, then go ahead and [go into complete darkness]!" Lightmoy snapped her fingers, and Miss Skirt was performing a strange dance. Meanwhile, a faint glow appeared around Commander Slash!
"Is that a second round?!" Yueju exclaimed in surprise, while also giving a wry smile: "Oh dear, is this whole combo just a contest of variation techniques?"

The two sides didn't even engage in direct combat; they were both focused on how to prevent the other from making a move and, incidentally, steal the other's abilities!
Blueberry: "You're not what you seem. You're such a beautiful lady, yet you let her use such dirty tactics. You've tarnished that beauty!"

Guangtai: "No, Mr. Lanju, you are the one with true class. This is the first time I've ever seen someone start a robbery. This isn't a gambler, it's a bandit!"

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, the battle reached a stalemate.

Commander Slash was unable to use any moves other than "Black Gaze," so its eyes were completely black, while Miss Skirt was completely unconcerned about having her abilities taken away!

She wiggled her leaves, and under the curious gaze of the blueberry, her eyes lit up, her flower crown glowed, and she muttered to herself for a while. Suddenly, her abilities increased once again!

Miss Skirt's "Self-Suggestion"!
Make your abilities change in the same way as your opponent's!
My ability? Your ability? Or my ability!

Blueberry was astonished, but he gritted his teeth and said:
"However, my Slashing Commander is covered in sharp blades. If you use melee-type moves, you will definitely be severely injured!"

This is the "battle change" brought about by the Pokémon ecosystem!

Just like the aluminum-steel bridge duct has an earthquake-resistant structure, making it more resistant to impact.

Bisharp is covered in sharp blades, so simply engaging in "close combat" can actually harm the attacking Pokémon, even if it doesn't have abilities like "Iron Spikes"!
"That's generally true, but there are ways to avoid the blade."

"Miss Skirt".

"Downward kick!"

Miss Xicui's Skirt arrived in front of Commander Pizhan at lightning speed, raised her snow-white thigh high, and struck Commander Pizhan's forehead with tremendous force!

At the same instant, the fighting gem on Miss Skirt's head emitted a brilliant light!

However, this is no ordinary "Fighting Gem"!
It is an "Ancient Fighting Gem"!
"Well, the so-called Ancient Fighting Gems are actually the Fighting Gems that haven't been weakened."

In other words, in Generation V, all gems will increase power by 50%!

This is the benefit of being an outdated version!

Although the Commander of the Cleaver also has a huge "blade" on his forehead, overall, the helmet area is mostly smooth!
The downward kick has the same immense power as close-quarters combat!
"Goo!"

Commander Pi Zhan's eyes widened as a tremendous force threatened to shatter his helmet, cracking even his leader's badge!
It felt this power coursing through its entire body, and the last thing on its mind was...
The commander was slain, his blood and tears flowed!
This is also one aspect of a world that lacks martial virtue!

The commander has been slashed; he is now incapacitated!
"Hey, is that for real?!"

His ace was defeated in one blow. Although the opponent had greatly enhanced his abilities and used unconventional moves and attributes that countered his own, it was still a huge embarrassment for him as one of the Four Heavenly Kings!

Moreover, the blueberry looked at the red fruit that had rolled to the ground with a serious expression.

Lotus seed pods.

Activated when attacked by a highly effective Fighting-type move, reducing the damage of one Fighting-type move by half.

Did the Fighting Gem negate the damage reduction effect of the Lotus Berry? This also shows how powerful that Pokémon's attack was!

"Alright, let's launch a high-five surprise attack!"

The second one of the blueberry was a leopard, which is also a common Pokémon in Unova. However, just as the slapping paw was about to hit Miss Skirt, a more powerful Leaf Slash came straight at her!
Kuaishou retaliates!

*Slap!* Cool Leopard's high-five attack not only failed to achieve its intended effect, but was also countered by Kuaishou, suffering a severe blow and falling into a state of fear!
Miss Skirt started tapping her feet right after that!
Close combat!
By lowering its defenses, it unleashed a powerful close-range attack, annihilating the second Pokémon of the Cranberry with almost no effort!

The Cool Leopard isn't exactly a trump card for Bilberry; it's usually used as a first-strike probe. And unlike the "Prankster" Cool Leopard commonly used in player battles, Bilberry's Cool Leopard has one of the following characteristics: Soft/Lightweight!

In real battles, this is a choice made to maintain high speed. Pokémon with the Soft ability are not affected by paralysis, and Pokémon with the Lightweight ability will double their speed when they lose an item!
The blueberry was truly stunned, and helplessly shrugged:

"Has the gambler's doom struck?"

Sometimes, good luck means you keep winning, and bad luck means you keep losing! That's gambling!
"Very good, very good, but I will never back down in battle."

Even in such adversity, there is always a chance to turn defeat into victory!

"The smile of the goddess of victory... My last Pokémon, I entrust my fate to you!"

"Let's begin the betting!"

The last one, Lightmoss, recalled that almost all of Blueberry's Pokémon were weak to Fighting. Even with a berry that reduced the power of Fighting, they were still somewhat troublesome when facing opponents that were super effective against them.

Theoretically speaking, Guangtai vaguely remembered that blueberries had a crow's head.

The Flying-type Crowhead can be four times stronger than the Skirtless, and this Pokémon is resistant to Grass and Fighting.

It can't be a Tyranitar that can bring sandstorms, or a Crocodile that's weak in both grass and fighting.

Therefore, the final result is...
"Absol?!"

The white cat that roared out was majestic and handsome, the dream cat of countless players, and is known as the progenitor of the calamity beast!

It has the face of a mythical beast, but not the life of one.

However, due to rumors that there were anti-Cataclysmic fans within GF, the Cataclysmic Beast's power level became quite awkward.

After its super evolution, its abstraction reached a new level, leaving behind not even strength, but only coolness.

Isn't it cool? It's all thanks to the intensity!
However, even such a monstrous creature once had a glorious moment of "crazy raids". Although it is still not very useful, it is one of the most ferocious Pokémon on the battlefield!

Yueju snapped her fingers: "Normally, I should use Crow Head, but given the current situation, I have to risk the name of the Four Heavenly Kings."

"That's right, it's a gamble!"

"Then you bet! Let's bet on what my first skill will be!"

While Absol isn't particularly strong on the battlefield, in actual combat, under the tutelage of the Elite Four and with its bizarre move pool, it wouldn't be surprising if it pulled out any move.
Lightmoss knew that it was impossible for her to remember the move pool of every Pokémon, and even Plantina, the true "knower," could not do so.

"Hey! Don't fight here! This is a scenic park!"

The battle between the moss and blueberry finally attracted the attention of the guards, but the surrounding tourists were so engrossed in watching that they said, "Never mind, it's fine, isn't it?" This made the guards very embarrassed.

And Lanju took off his hood, and when the guard saw him, he immediately stood at attention!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Blueberry, I didn't recognize you just now!"

"It's alright, I'm dealing with the challengers right now, could you keep an eye on the tourists for me?" Yueju nodded.

Yes, sir!

The guards stood at attention and saluted, immediately beginning to maintain order!
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the surrounding tourists erupted into a cacophony of noise!
"What? That's one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Blueberry?! How could I see him here? Why?"

"Oh my god, he's just as handsome as the rumors say! I want to marry him!"

"I just got picked by one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and I won't be washing my hands for at least a week."

"Cough," Blueberry muttered to herself as she heard the comments from the tourists around her.

If you don't wash your hands within a week, you might really be facing bad luck.

Conversely, tourists in Unova are extremely fond of this "handsome king," Cranberry, whose melancholic and mysterious aura makes him the dream lover of countless girls, a true heartthrob for both young girls and boys.

Therefore, they became very unfriendly towards Lightmoss, their challenger.

"What?! How dare they challenge the Four Heavenly Kings? They'll definitely be crying their eyes out in a minute!"

"Mr. Blueberry is the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings, I will always support you!"

"Let's take down that arrogant brat over there! Even just one of them can turn the tide of the battle!"

The enthusiastic fans cheered, completely forgetting that blueberries were now at a disadvantage.

Seeing this situation, and seemingly sensing the helplessness of the moss, the blueberry smiled slightly:
"Being exposed does bring this kind of trouble, but they are right about one thing."

"In Pokémon battles, even if you're down to just one Pokémon, it's still possible to turn the tide and win."

"This kind of gambling and game is what makes the battle interesting."

"Really? I had the same thought." Lightmoy really agreed with this view, after all, there were countless instances in the past where a Pokémon battle could turn the tide and win against three opponents in a 6v3 singles battle!
"It's great that you think the same way I do!" Lingju smiled and nodded. "Then, let's start the bet!"

The moment those words were spoken, his demeanor instantly changed!
Light Moss: "One more time!"

Blueberry: "You guessed wrong, it's 'see through'!"

Absol swiftly approached Miss Swallow and blocked another attempt at control! It protected itself from most of the attacks from other Pokémon!

"Attack move!"

Without a doubt, Absol was approaching while seeing through everything, intending to launch a close-quarters attack, even though close combat should be advantageous for Miss Skirt!

Go meet them!

Lightmoss mentally commanded to use a move to test Absol's strength, and Absol's eyes flashed again!
"Wrong guess, it's [self-suggestion]!" At that instant, Lanju gave the command!

Attack, defense, and speed have been greatly improved!
"Close combat!"

Miss Skirt spun forward and struck Absol!
But at the same time, a tremendous force suddenly struck Miss Skirt!
A faint flash appeared in Absol's eyes, and two blade-shaped energies shot out from the front and back of his body!
"You guessed wrong! It's [punishment]!"

Cranberry waved her hand!
The punishment varies depending on the opponent's abilities; the greater the opponent's increased strength, the more powerful the attack becomes!
The base power is 60, and the power increases by 20 for every level the target's ability increases!

Previously, Miss Skirt used self-suggestion to restore the boost to her Victory Dance ability.

Attack +2, Defense +2, Speed ​​+2, so the power of the penalty is—

180!

Yueju laughed heartily: "That's how gambling is. Sometimes you keep losing, but when luck comes, you keep winning!"

Guangtai's eyes narrowed: "Attack in tandem, hold!"

Blueberry: "You guessed right, [malicious pursuit]!"

Absol's Wind Blade Slash maliciously pursues Miss Skirt's Protective Shield, and if the opponent has already taken damage this turn, the move's power will be doubled!
Lightmoss: "Dark-types are masters of taking advantage of others' misfortunes; I've seen that move countless times!"

"Then, the next move."

Blueberry: "Electromagnetic waves!"

A faint electric current traveled from the wind blades stirred up by Absol to Miss Skirt, while Lightmoss's gaze shifted. The same was true for Blueberry.

Here it comes. Next time, rock-paper-scissors; next time, gambling!

Moss: "Hold on!"

Blueberry: "I guessed right, [surprise attack]!"

As Miss Skirt strained to amplify the power of her attack, Absol launched a sudden attack, channeling the energy of the move through her and injuring her!
With their speed halved, their original advantage turned into a disadvantage, and the battle situation was reversed almost instantly!
At this moment, Absol not only copied Miss Skirt's ability transformation, but also used all sorts of strange skills!
"The deeper the skill pool of a move, the less you know what move they will use; it's truly a game of rock-paper-scissors and gambling."

"That's right, that's the fun of gambling in a game!" Yueju was all excited. "Then let's play rock-paper-scissors!"

Lightmoss didn't speak, but connected with her mind, though Blueberry wasn't surprised by this.

This is how superpowered people fight.

Unfortunately, I am a master of evil!

Blueberry: "One step ahead!"

Get ahead of the curve! Increase power by 50% and unleash your opponent's intended move first!
"It's an attack move, I guessed right!"
