Chapter 185: The Winged Hair Makes a Stunning Debut; the Paradoxical Species Actually Exists?! (5k)

Mastedt was taken aback, but then immediately realized that this was indeed the case.

The opening [gear shift] was alright, enhancing physical attack and power, but that [playful] move was just too weird.

Since it neither counters Electric-type Frog nor resists Electric-type moves, why not just use the Grass-type [Falling Petals]?
It couldn't have been a mistake.

Although Ma Shide had not watched all of Xia Chi's matches, he knew this from his performance in this one game alone.

The meticulous Xia Chi would never make such a mistake.

Could it be that.
"If this special crystallization can enhance the first move of each attribute, then it makes sense."

Professor Oak revealed what Mastedt had in mind.

His eyes gleamed with wisdom: "Xia Chi said back then that if a Pokémon's Crystal type is the same as its own type, then the STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) will increase from 50% to 100%!"

"And if this unprecedented Crystal attribute encompasses all known attributes, and combined with Tirion's own [Transformation] ability, could it turn all type moves into its own type moves?"

Even someone as composed as Maslow couldn't help but exclaim, "That's really... amazing!" after hearing Professor Oak's conjecture.

What does a twofold increase mean? It means that even if there is no restraint relationship, it will be forced into a restraint relationship.

Not to mention things like being four times weak to ice or four times weak to melee, that's eight times the damage!

Paraste was undoubtedly the most tragic.
The insect/grass type is already four times weak to fire, and the [Dry Skin] ability's 1.25x fire resistance boost makes it "five times weaker" to fire.

If the Charizard of the Crystal Fire uses Flamethrower on it
Forget about the flamethrower, even the [Spark] skill, which has a base damage of 40, is now 400 points more than that!
Even if you gave them 100,000 lives, you couldn't afford to save them.

And the "Special Crystallization" of Tire Cat can guarantee that every move has this effect!
Ma Shide couldn't even imagine how much damage it could inflict on earth dragons and flying dragons with a single triple spin attack!
"That's why I suspect that this kind of crystallized damage bonus only works on the first move of each attribute, otherwise Tire Cat could just keep using Falling Petals."

After Professor Oak finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "But this is just speculation. Xia Chi will definitely tell us after this battle is over."

Ma Shide suddenly chuckled and said, "No wonder this kid wanted to play an exhibition match first. He was just trying to whet the appetite of this old man!"

Professor Oak laughed and said, "Let's settle the score with him after the press conference."

The two legendary figures, perhaps the most powerful in the current Pokémon world, exchanged a smile and then turned back to the battlefield.

------

Electric Belly Frog is still the main Pokémon of the Strange Tree.

After realizing that the situation was getting out of control, they increased the intensity of their attacks.

With [Parabolic Charge] to heal and [Discharge] to deal damage, Tire Cat had no room to dodge after using these two area-of-effect attacks in succession.

It can only barely maintain its status by using the Grass-type resistance converted by [Falling Petals].

As Professor Oak's conjecture was confirmed, all of Tirion's subsequent Falling Petals attacks were indeed not as terrifying as the first one.

Kiju chuckled as he regained control of the battle.

I pretended I couldn't beat you just to let you show off your crystallization. Did you really think my Electric Belly Frog couldn't beat you?
Seeing that Tirey was in such a state that she was like a candle flickering in the wind, Kiju thought to himself that this battle should also end.

I really don't have time to argue with you!
"Electric Frog, Thunder!"

In the [Charging] state, this is undoubtedly the Electric-type move that can deal the highest damage.

Even though Tirecat's type is locked as Grass, it absolutely cannot withstand this thunder!

A terrifying burst of electrical energy erupted from the Electric Belly Frog's battered belly, instantly unleashing a thick, breathtaking golden bolt of lightning that cleaved through the air above the arena!
The terrifying pressure was so real that the entire arena seemed to tremble!
Just as the terrifying lightning bolt was about to pierce through Tire Meow's body.

"Tirey Meow, earthquake!"

Xia Chi's command stunned everyone on and off the battlefield.

earthquake?

No, you're here again?

It’s not over, right?
I just finished processing the fact that Tilley Cat can [shift gears], and now she's illegally learned an earthquake?
Just as Qishu was stunned, Tiremon's claws, filled with ground-type energy, slammed down on the ground!
thump—

A deafening roar, louder than a bolt of lightning, resounded!
Centered on Tilley, the ground beneath her feet collapsed instantly, like fragile glass!
Immediately afterwards, an extremely violent, earthy-yellow shockwave condensed into a terrifying wave visible to the naked eye, and suddenly slammed into the electric frog not far away!

A deafening explosion resounded through the sky, and golden lightning arrived as promised, striking Tire Cat.

For Tiree, whose type had been changed to Ground, this terrifying thunderbolt had no effect whatsoever and caused her no damage whatsoever!
Meanwhile, the earthquake shockwave that crashed down from the ground struck the electric frog’s already ravaged belly like an invisible, massive hammer!

"Kougua!"

This heavy blow, imbued with the power of the earth, nearly knocked the already weakened Electric Frog to the ground!
"Electric Frog, Turbid Current!"

Qi Shu, who had the most and deepest contact with Xia Chi, was the fastest to recover from his shock.

After all, her Babu Tubo was also a beneficiary of Xia Chi's "illegal technique teaching".

So what if there's an earthquake? We'll fight it anyway!

Even with double the super-effectiveness and the quadruple damage boost from the Star Crystal for the first use of a Ground-type move, it still couldn't completely defeat the Electric Belly Frog.

After the water-based energy within her body had been brewing, it erupted in an instant, and a turbid wave mixed with gravel and mud rushed toward Tire Meow like a crashing wave!

Not at all surprised, Xia Chi commanded, "Continue, earthquake!"

The Electric Belly Frog can hold back its attacks and fight back and forth with Tilly Cat, but its stamina and endurance are undeniable.

The only thing Tire Cat can do now is to lock [Earthquake] so that Electric Belly Frog can't use [Parabolic Charge] to recover health.

We'll finish harvesting after Sister Fa appears in a bit!

------

The turbid current eventually devoured all of Tire Cat's remaining life force.

But at the same time, the second earthquake struck the electric frog with perfect accuracy.

After being hit by two consecutive high-damage moves that doubled the effectiveness of the move, the Electric Belly Frog's condition was no longer as good as it was at the start of the battle.

The situation was still under control. Xia Chi took out a Poké Ball and recalled the incapacitated Tiremeow.

"Well done, thank you for your hard work, Tire Meow."

After offering gentle words of comfort, Xia Chi took out another Poké Ball.

"I'm counting on you now. Come out, spread your wings!"

A flash of white light appeared, and a gigantic "dream monster" full of wildness and savagery suddenly appeared on the already somewhat damaged battlefield.

It was also presented to everyone present, as well as to viewers around the world watching the live broadcast of this exhibition match!

The entire hall fell silent!

Except for Ye Ci, who was somewhat prepared, everyone was shocked by the appearance of this "giant dream monster".

They saw it clearly.

This is the paradoxical Pokémon that appears in "The Book of Zhu" and Xia Chi's videos, and only exists in the ancient world: Winged Wing!

In the second row of the audience seats, Cynthia and Gadria, sitting side by side, recovered from their shock.

"Has that so-called time machine been built?"

Although Xia Chi did not reveal in the video that the Zero Zone Research Institute was developing a time machine, Gadria had her own sources of information.

Cynthia shook her head silently and said, "I don't know either. However, this Winged Beast is very likely the evolution of Xia Chi's original Dreamweaver."

She had spent some time with Xia Chi and had vaguely sensed this.

Gadria frowned: "So... Winged Hair is another evolutionary branch of the Dream Demon?"

Her keen intuition as a superhuman made her feel that something was vaguely amiss.

Cynthia shook her head and said, "I don't know. Perhaps only Xia Chi himself knows the answer to this question."

"He didn't tell you?"

Gadriya suddenly looked at Cynthia and said, "I thought you two were on good terms."

Cynthia's answer was somewhat irrelevant: "Maybe we've both been too busy lately and haven't been in touch much."

Cattleya turned her head, revealing a faint smile that seemed to go unnoticed.

Not only Cynthia and Gadriya, but all the big shots watching from the sidelines were discussing the suddenly appearing Winged Hair.

Their original intention in coming here was to see if they could buy a few Taijing Pearls to take back, but unexpected surprises followed one after another—

First, there was a mysterious and powerful special crystallization, and then I saw the ancient dream demon recorded in the Book of Zhu, flapping its wings and spreading its wings!
This trip to Pattaya was definitely worthwhile!
Meanwhile, in the official live stream of the press conference, a barrage of "Holy crap!" comments also filled the screen.

【No, bro, you really have a winged hairstyle?】

[Where are those who say Paradoxical Pokémon don't exist? Haters, speak up!]

[There were so many people outside, Brother Chi, I'm begging you! I want to play Paradox Pokémon too!]

[So, did Prison Water really travel back to the ancient world and capture Paradox Pokémon?] [Is it possible that a time machine was built?]

[I hope they've actually developed a time machine! The Iron Warriors in *The Book of Purple* are so cool! If they could really appear in the real world, I'd buy them all!]

Don't worry, since they used the prison water in the exhibition match, they'll definitely mention it at the press conference later.

【.】

On the battlefield, Qi Shu bit her pink lips tightly and looked at Xia Chi.

Well, no wonder you haven't come out these past few days. You were hiding Zhenyi, weren't you?
I considered you a good friend, and you're even keeping it from me?

Qi Shu decided to teach Xia Chi a lesson.

"Electric Frog, parabolic charging!"

Slightly injured by Tiremy's two earthquakes, Qishu decided to recover his condition first.

"Spread your wings and meditate!"

Xia Chi's command surprised Qi Shu.

Directly using meditation for enhancement? How dare you?

Does this mean that Misdreavus's durability increases after evolving into Winged Wing?
------

As Qi Shu pondered, on the field, the electric frog's huge belly contracted and swelled once more.

This time, instead of a destructive lightning bolt, it transformed the surging electrical energy into several parabolic arcs!

As if it had a life of its own, the parabolic arc drew several dazzling golden trajectories in the air, pointing directly at the newly debuted Zhenyi Hair!
An electric arc cut through the air, emitting a high-frequency buzzing sound.

It flapped its wings but showed no intention of dodging—

It's actually quite difficult to dodge; the parabolic charge is an area-of-effect move that covers almost all dodge directions around the wing-shaped attack.

At the point where the electric arc locked, pale purple super-energy was continuously flowing and being absorbed onto the gray-blue body of the flapping wings!
A dazzling golden light, signifying enhancement, then rose up, indicating successful meditation enhancement!

In parabolic charging, the current arrives first and then the current arrives.

Several deadly arcs of electricity, carrying the force to tear through the air, slammed into Zhenyifa's body!
However, the anticipated violent explosion or energy extraction did not occur.
The violent golden arcs of electricity disappeared completely the moment they touched Zhenyi's body, as if they had crashed into a viscous quagmire!

[Fairy Attribute] Bond, "Painted Skin Barrier" activated!
The strange tree was stunned.

What is this again?
When did meditation still have the effect of "holding on"?

No. Even if they were holding out, surely they should be able to keep up with an energy barrier, right?
Inside the audience seating area.

Ma Shide frowned slightly and said, "It looks a bit like Mimikyu's [Painted Skin] characteristic, doesn't it?"

Professor Oak sensed something was off, but after all, Winged was a Pokémon he knew nothing about.

Moreover, there seems to be no better explanation than this. Nodding, he said, "It could indeed be a new feature of [Winged Strike], hmm... it's a bit better than Float."

In real-world battles, you don't need to lock all four moves. If your opponent knows you have the Levitate ability, they can just switch to a non-Ground type move to attack you.

In comparison, the [Painted Skin] trait, which grants a free [Defend] at the start of the game, is indeed more useful.

However, even Master and Professor Oak couldn't have guessed it.

Zhenyifa's "Painted Skin" isn't just used once at the start of the game.
Ugh, this is troublesome.
Qi Shu began to feel anxious. Something was wrong with the Dream Demon. She knew better than anyone how terrifying the later abilities of the Winged Demon were.

This bought it even more time.

We can no longer slowly wear them down with parabolic charging techniques!
"Electric Frog, Thunder!"

"Wings flap! Get out of the way!"

Terrifying lightning bolts surged wildly across the wounded belly, and then an even more violent golden lightning bolt crashed down from mid-air, striking Zhenyifa with a deafening roar!
Its speed and power were so great that it seemed impossible to avoid!

However, the well-prepared Zhenyi suddenly started up.

Its wings, which used to flutter like long hair above its head, were no longer flapping gracefully, but had transformed into a phantom that surpassed the limits of what the naked eye could perceive!

Like a streak of azure light, it moved sideways ten meters away in an almost instantaneous trajectory!
boom--

A deafening roar echoed through the dojo as a golden bolt of lightning struck the afterimage left by Zhenyifa, tearing it to shreds!

The aftershocks blasted another huge, smoking crater into the already damaged ground below!
Missed?!
Qi Shu's eyes widened instantly as he stared at the Winged Hair that appeared on the other side of the field as if it had teleported.

That's an incredible speed!
He smiled slightly at Xia Chi on the other side of the battlefield. How dare you use a move like Thunder Strike, which only has a 70% hit rate on the game panel?
You really have no idea how fast my sister Fa is, do you!
Although Xia Chi's focused attention on dodging the [thunder] wing-like attack did not result in an effective counterattack, he was not in a hurry at all.

He actually hoped that Qishu would fight him with the Electric Belly Frog, whose attack power was relatively average, so that Fa Jie would have enough time to develop.

Qi Shu understood this as well. After recognizing the speed of the flapping wings, she gritted her teeth and said, "Electric Frog, discharge electricity!"

You can dodge thunder, but you can't dodge a wide-area electrical discharge!

"Continue, meditate!"

Xia Chi indeed had no way to hide, but he didn't intend to either.

Compared to thunder, electrical discharge is much less powerful.

More importantly, from the moment it appeared until now, Misdreavus has not caused any damage to Froakie.

The [Power Conversion] feature cannot be triggered, and the Electric Belly Frog does not have the [Charging] status.

For Winged Strike, whose Special Defense is at its peak after using [Meditation] twice, it's no big deal at all!

boom--

Dense lightning flashed across the battlefield, but the vibrating wings, situated within the electric field, remained unmoved, strengthening themselves on the ground.

Qi Shu gritted his teeth and said, "Electric Frog, thunder!"

"Get out of the way!"

Undoubtedly, when Kiju tried to switch to the more powerful [Thunder Strike].

The flapping wings will once again demonstrate their terrifying speed, easily dodging the lightning bolts falling from the sky.

Qishu changed his approach again: "Electromagnetic waves!"

Xia Chi smiled slightly, "A provocation!"

With its incredibly fast speed and even the [Speed ​​Attack] synergy, the Winged One naturally seized the initiative.

The plot by the strange tree to reduce the speed of the flapping wings was nipped in the bud.

After several rounds of confrontation.

Aside from a single [discharge] that struck under the double [meditation] state, the Electric Belly Frog failed to have the slightest effect on the Vibrating Wings!

------

Or should we switch to a different Pokémon?

A shameful thought suddenly arose in Qishu's mind, which he immediately rejected.

No!

I was the one who bullied the weak, and now I'm being forced to switch sides?

Where does that leave my reputation as the world champion of electric properties?

Moreover, the second Pokémon that Qishu prepared was also a Special Attack-oriented Mismagius.
Besides being faster than the electric frog, what advantages does it have?
But what if we don't switch to a different Pokémon, and it gets completely destroyed by Winged Strike?
Although it was an exhibition match, the onlookers didn't care about any of that!

As the gym leader, it's only natural that you, Qishu, won; as for your loss...
Qishu could already imagine how the audience would laugh at him during his future live streams.

This is even worse than being eliminated in the first round of the World Electric Attribute Experts Tournament!
Don’t do that kind of thing!

Qishu shuddered, then gritted his teeth and said, "Electric Belly Frog, Mad Volt!"

Under high pressure, some of the strange trees, which have lost their minds, have begun to make foolish moves.

[Raging Volt] is indeed a physical attack move that ignores the [Meditation] Special Defense bonus, but only if you can hit it with Wing Surge!
What happened next was quite simple—

The round, chubby frog, its body transforming into a burst of electric light, chased after them, while the agile, flowing wings ran ahead.

They even occasionally turn around and throw a few Shadow Balls to harass the enemy!
The Electric Frog, already in poor condition due to the exhaustion from Tire Cat, couldn't withstand such an intense rally race.

The electrical light covering his entire body grew dimmer and slower.

In stark contrast, the speed of the Fluttering Wings was increasing, and the golden light on their bodies was shining even brighter!

After calming down a bit, Qi Shu realized that if things continued like this, they might really be exposed by Zhen Yi's team.

Her heart sank, and she cried out, "Volt replacement!"

If we're forced to change, then we're forced to change. It would be truly shameful to lose!
