Chapter 139: Not being defeated in a 1v3 situation is considered a success!

Kanto League players' lounge.

Crimson looked at the silent Green beside her and, unusually, took the initiative to tease, "It feels like you're about to hand over the title of [Nurturer] to someone else."

Qinglu rolled her eyes but didn't argue.

"Let's keep watching the game and see what surprises he can bring us next."

Of course, it's more likely to be fright.

On the battlefield.

Gladgio reacted much faster than Duro yesterday.

After all, Xia Chi had just done something like using an illegal spirit yesterday.
Seeing that the sludge bomb had no effect on Tiremon, who had switched to the Steel type, he immediately shouted, "Flamethrower!"

Regardless, the most important thing now is not to let Tire Meow continue to use [Shift] to strengthen!

As Zoroark concentrated its energy, the temperature in the surrounding air seemed to rise slightly.

It opened its mouth wide, and a blazing, violent pillar of orange-red fire erupted from it.

With terrifyingly high temperatures that could incinerate everything, it twisted the air like a roaring fire dragon and blasted towards the emerald green figure with a silvery-white metallic luster not far away!

The pillar of flame magnified in her crimson pupils, and suddenly Tire Cat moved.

Its increasingly agile body suddenly sank, lying down in a prone position with its limbs almost touching the ground, the scorching waves of fire brushing against the fur on its back!
"Shoot the flames downwards!"

Gladio, acting as the aiming device, issues commands.

Zoroark lowered its head, and the pillar of fire spewing from its mouth adjusted its angle, pressing down on Tiree, who was close to the ground.

Xia Chi had been waiting for this opportunity!

"Jump up and have some fun!"

Extreme speed brings extreme explosiveness. Tire Cat, lying prone, exerts force with her slender limbs and leaps up suddenly!
The jet of flame that crossed the body stirred up scorching air currents, bringing bursts of stinging pain, but only for a moment.

It's easy to press down the jet of flame, but to lift it up again requires time and effort to adjust the angle.

For Tilley, who is accelerating during the gear shift, this brief time difference is enough to do a lot of things!

The fairy energy that had been gathering power swirled around its claws, carrying a pinkish-purple glow, and the leaping Tirion suddenly slashed down at Zoroark with its playful claws!

laugh--

A sharp, tearing sound of energy rang out, followed by a painful screech from Zoroark.

Shifting gears not only brings a significant increase in speed, but also a 50% boost to attack power.

It may not seem like much, but when combined with Fairy-type energy that counters Dark-type, its power increases many times over!

What's most eye-catching is that after Zoroark was hit by Playful Trick, tiny specks of green life energy kept floating back into Tiremy's body!
It is clearly a symbol of life drawing upon itself!
Gladion: "."

The entire audience: "."

Why do I not feel so surprised anymore?
It's said that Xia Chi artificially raised everyone's excitement threshold.
"Dark Blast!"

Grazio, realizing what was happening, quickly issued a command.

This time, he didn't use a poison-type move like [Sludge Bomb] again, and instead gave Tirecat a [Shift]. Is the game over now?
So even though Tiremon's Fairy attribute had already made him resistant to the Dark-type [Dark Blast], he couldn't care less about that now.

After his battle with Xia Chi, Gladio's biggest takeaway was: Don't gamble!
The more you gamble, the faster you die.

So even if it's a type disadvantage against Tirecat, Gladion is willing to accept it!

------

Zoroark, who had been knocked back several steps by Tirey, adjusted his breathing slightly, and a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his entire body!

It circulated and concentrated the most familiar evil attribute energy. Then, a dense, pitch-black energy cluster, seemingly capable of swallowing light, exploded with a deafening roar, like a rapidly expanding black hole!
Tire Cat, who was in a state of resisting evil attributes, naturally had no reason to retreat even half a step.

The alluring pinkish-purple energy shimmered and pulsed in her palm once more, carrying a powerful aura that seemed to tear apart the darkness before her. Tilley Meow resolutely met the Dark Explosion and slashed down the claw blade!
"Continue, Dark Blast!"

Ignoring Tire's attacks, Gladion continued to use Dark Blast.

This caused Xia Chi to frown slightly.

Tirey is not a Dream Demon after all, and [Bloodthirst Sword] only has 20% life steal, which is not as powerful as Dream Demon's ability to stack marks and act recklessly.

Moreover, this Zoroark's attack power is not low—

The fact that it can use Dark Blast indicates that its level is at least 46.
If we continue fighting like this, we can at least guarantee that we will defeat Zoroark before Tiremy falls, but it will be troublesome to deal with Silvally afterwards.

Sure enough, after losing the information gap, these "protagonist" trainers gradually figured out how to deal with themselves.
"Nya!"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the field.

Looking into the distance, Xia Chi saw that its emerald green body was covered with a thin layer of black energy mist.

It's the additional effect of [Dark Blast], "Reduce Hit Rate", that's activated!

Xia Chi felt rather helpless.

This Zoroark-specific move has a very high chance of reducing accuracy.

The two Dark Blasts only applied one layer of reduced hit rate, so it's not exactly bad luck.

It seems that this is why Gladion insisted on using Dark Blast on Tiremon, even while enduring the playful antics.

Having achieved his objective, Gladio shouted, "Turn back immediately!"

Xia Chi: "."

Is it right to fight and then run away?
Even so, he didn't have a good way to deal with Zoroark.

If it's [Volt Replacement], that's fine; Xia Chi can have Tire Meow use [Smash Mud] to keep it.

However, there's nothing that can be done about the insect-type rapid return.

However, you might make a profit, but I definitely won't lose!

"Tirey Meow, shift gears!"

The energy, shimmering with a silvery-white metallic luster, flowed through Tire Meow once more, and the second gear shift was successfully executed without any hindrance!
At this moment, Tire Meow's enhanced state has reached the level equivalent to one Sword Dance and two High Speed ​​Movements!

------

[Hahahaha, this is the first time I've seen a helpless expression on a prisoner's face. Gladio is truly amazing!]

[To prevent Tireia from blocking Zoroark's return shot with her body, she actually used a rapid turnaround? Gladgio is certainly experienced!]

[Master, I've got it! When digging deep, you have to do it at your own pace. I feel like Gladio has a chance!]

For the glory of the Alola League, defeat the Prison Water!

[Come on, Tire Cat has already shifted gears twice. Not getting wiped out in one go is a success!]

That's what they say, but why do I just so want to see the prison water lose?

【.】

Unbeknownst to many, Xia Chi had become a "demon king" in this competition.

So much so that some people's thinking has become that "not being defeated by one person and then three is success".

That's quite humble.
