You are not allowed to be a Pokémon Trainer!

Chapter 201 These young people have no martial ethics; they come to cheat and ambush my seventy-year-old Master Ma! (4k)
[So satisfying! This is the kind of battle men should be watching!]

[Holy crap, is that a Sunblade? Are you sure it's not some kind of eight-point light wheel?]

[E'gui Peng's strength is terrifying! How come he seems to have gotten even stronger since he beat up Tao Dailang?]

[Holy crap, could it be that the Prison Water's nurturing abilities can actually train legendary Pokémon?]

[Awesome! If they had Xia Chi back then, Ma Shide probably wouldn't have been able to achieve an 18-year winning streak, right?]

[It's hard to say. I feel that Martial Arts Bear Master is stronger. Even with its elemental advantage, it can still use Sword Dance while withstanding powerful whips and Sunblade attacks!]

[Of course! Fifty years ago, they were already beyond champion level; wouldn't they be even stronger now?]

After watching this kind of match, what should I do if watching championship matches becomes a bit boring?

[Thank you to the streamer for risking his life to broadcast such an exciting match!]

[The streamer has a really strong heart! He didn't even flinch from the terrifying aftershocks of the Sunblade. Even Dan-Di retreated with his Pokémon, and you didn't retreat either. Respect!]

【.】

Clara looked at the praising comments and felt like crying.

Brother, do I not want to move?

I can't move at all!

The aura of that sun-light blade was so terrifying that Clara, who was too close, was so frightened that she went limp.

Fortunately, the energy barrier created by Leon's champion-level Pokémon was strong enough, which allowed Clara to escape unscathed.

But her current state of exhaustion prevented her from retreating like the other dojo students.

What's worse, in order to secretly livestream without being discovered, Clara had deliberately run to a grove of trees that could block the view, so no one could find her!

This means that she will wait until her body regains its mobility in this place, not far from the battlefield where the two legendary Pokémon fought!
Without the elven protection of Leon and Honeyleaf, Clara was essentially entrusting her safety to Arceus.

Whether they survive or not depends entirely on whether the aftershocks of the two legendary Pokémon's moves will spread over.
------

Xia Chi and Ma Shide, who were on the battlefield, naturally did not notice the person lying paralyzed in the bushes a hundred meters away.

At this moment, they are fully engaged in this battle.

Roar--

A powerful roar tore through the deafening explosion!
At the center of the destructive torrent of blazing white energy, a burly figure in dark gray suddenly burst forth!
Martial Arts Bear Master!

Xia Chi's face darkened.

Are all the legendary Pokémon in your lore incredibly durable?

Sword Dance, with its own elemental bonus, can't even one-shot Sunblade, which is doubly effective against it!
That's amazing!
Regardless of Xia Chi's complaints, Martial Arts Bear Master did indeed survive.

It was enveloped in white smoke, its chest fur was slightly charred, and each breath it exhaled was scalding hot.

It was as if they had returned from hell.

Clearly, the terrifying Sunblade, enhanced by the [Sword Dance] and doubly effective against it, had inflicted considerable damage on it.

But if that's all there is to it, we're still a long way off!
The martial arts master's eyes burned with intense fighting spirit as he stomped his right leg against the scorching ground.

Then, it burst forth with incredible agility and speed, leaping high like a falcon, leaving a blurry afterimage with a diving arc in the scorching air!
Yan returns!

Flight-type energy spun rapidly around it, transforming into an incomparably sharp blade of energy that wrapped around its thick arm!
Like a hawk locking onto its prey, it slashed with unparalleled precision at the monstrous creature on the ground!
The speed of the Martial Arts Bear Master's attack was beyond imagination. It had just unleashed its full power and was not yet in a stable position, so it had no time to dodge or defend.

"Boni!"

Seeing the blade of air hurtling towards him with a deadly whistling sound, a hint of fear flashed in the eyes of the treacherous Peng Shuijing beneath his mask.

"Double the return!"

Xia Chi's timely voice immediately calmed Ponpo down.

The moment the command was given, it quickly adjusted its body into a slightly curled-up posture, ready to counterattack.

The emerald green grass-based energy around him instantly faded away, replaced by a deep and subtle dark red light!
Double Back: A fighting attribute-changing move that charges up and then returns twice the amount of physical damage received to the opponent!

laugh--

The sharp, piercing blade of energy suddenly struck the small, crossed arms of the Egui Peng, causing the deep red light to fluctuate violently.

The already double-counter [Swallow Return] becomes even more terrifying with the addition of Sword Dance!
Although it did not have the exaggerated and terrifying external manifestation of the previous Sun Blade, the air blade, which condensed all its energy inside, still unleashed an incomparably terrifying power!

Even though she adopted a defensive stance, Egui Peng's petite body was still sent flying backward by the enormous impact!

And at that very moment.

Suddenly, the deep red light burst forth with an incredibly violent torrent of dark red energy!
Like a roaring, dark red dragon, it swept back with even greater speed than when the martial arts master Xiong came, following the attack trajectory of Yan Fan!

boom--

A dark red torrent of energy suddenly surged toward Martial Arts Master Xiong!

This time there was no earth-shattering destruction, only a pure burst of energy breaking through the surface!
A deep, dark red glow instantly engulfed the burly figure of the martial arts master, and a muffled sound of energy tearing apart came from within!
Just how terrifying was the power of that Swallow Return? This [Double Return] contains its full double damage!
Masder's command was as steady as a rock: "Absorb Fist!"

"Whoosh-"

The roar, which was deep in the center of the energy storm, suddenly changed tone.

The pain seemed to ignite the indomitable will of the Martial Arts Bear Master. Covered in energy wounds, it burst forth once again from the doubled energy torrent!
Xia Chi's heart tightened, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Wooden Horn!"

Wood Horn: A Grass-type physical attack move that restores half of the damage dealt as HP, essentially equivalent to the Grass-type [Drain Punch].

Xia Chi dared not let Pengpeng repay him double.

The fact that the previous double attack still hit was entirely because Martial Arts Master Xiong was caught off guard.

It's impossible for a trainer of Masted's caliber to fall into the same trap twice!

Having learned his lesson, Martial Arts Bear Master could have waited for the [Double Retribution] energy to dissipate before launching another attack.

At that time, Ponpo will be in an awkward state of energy shortage.

Therefore, the most effective method is undoubtedly to use [Wood Horn], which also has the ability to suck blood!

------

The Martial Arts Master Xiong burst forth from the destructive crimson light!
Above the fist's wind, deep blue light, absorbing energy, flowed and intertwined, forming an energy vortex that seemed capable of devouring all life force!
The target is the evil spirit that just unleashed its double revenge!
"Boni!"

Despite the excruciating pain that seemed to tear at its arms, the Egui Peng charged forward instead of retreating in the face of the incoming Absorption Fist!

A bright green light containing grass-type energy suddenly shone, and countless fine, tough, seemingly living green vine phantoms sprang up out of thin air!
Transform the arm of the treacherous beast into a thorny spear that possesses the power to plunder life!
Its petite body, filled with unwavering determination, swooped as it thrust towards the absorption fist that the Martial Arts Bear Master was unleashing!
Two completely opposite life forces are absorbing energy and colliding violently!

The emerald green and deep blue energy halos intertwined and tore at each other wildly, emitting a low humming sound like the howling wind before a storm!

boom!
A dull voice sounded.

The raging turbulent flow of mixed energy, like an out-of-control storm, violently pushed the two elves backward!

Martial Arts Master Xiong grunted and staggered back more than ten meters before barely managing to stand, his aura even weaker.

Clearly, the life-draining technique it had just used did not solve its immediate problem.

Grass overcomes water, but fighting does not overcome grass.

By any measure, [Wood Horn] deals more damage than [Absorb Fist], and absorbs a proportionally higher amount of stamina. Just like the current state of the Evil Spirit.

Although it was also thrown backward by the shock, it appeared to be in much better condition than the Martial Arts Bear Master.

"Stare!"

If your attack isn't enough, make up for it with a defense reduction.

Seeing that he could not gain the upper hand in a head-on confrontation, Masted immediately took advantage of the moment when the two elves widened the distance and commanded the Martial Arts Bear Master to use the [Stare] move, which could reduce the opponent's defense!

Although this is a move that many low-level Pokémon can master, its advantage lies in its effectiveness.

In this situation, staring is clearly more effective than a more time-consuming enhancement move like sword dance!

"Take off the mask, then the thorny vine stick!"

Xia Chi's command sent a chill down Ma Shide's spine.

What's with taking off the mask?
Xia Chi's instructions were not unfounded; they must have a purpose.

Mastedt suddenly recalled the [water storage] property of the Evil Phantom when it wore the well mask.

Removing the mask means that the Evil Spirit has returned to its original nature!
A strong sense of foreboding instantly gripped him.

That's because they refuse to admit defeat!
Before their eyes, the terrifying mental pressure emanating from Martial Arts Master Xiong's eyes formed a tangible energy ball that hurtled toward E Gui Peng at an extremely fast speed.

Just as the energy was about to strike, Egui Peng suddenly removed the mask from his face that resembled a weeping well!

Beneath the mask, a resolute look appeared on her lovely face.

[Unyielding] trait activated!
When your abilities are reduced by your opponent, your attack will increase significantly!
In an instant, a terrifying aura, like a volcanic eruption, burst forth from Egui Peng's small body!
The golden light covering her petite body, representing her enhanced abilities, shone even brighter!
Even without considering the bonds, at this moment, the physical attack power of the Evil Spirit has reached 200% with the double blessing of [Sword Dance] and [Unyielding]!

"Bonnie-oh!!"

The roar of the Egui Peng became higher and higher than ever before, and the power flowing in its body was like a flood that had burst its banks, filling its limbs and bones!

It suddenly swung its arms to the side!
boom!
The air crackled with an unbearable pressure!
This time, what coalesced was no longer emerald green thorns, but an enormous, dark thorny club covered with countless ferocious barbs!
Dragging this giant club that exuded an aura of destruction, Erguipeng charged suddenly toward Martial Arts Bear Master!
Ma Shide was suddenly startled; his vast combat experience told him—

Martial Arts Master Bear Absolutely!

impossible!
Next up is this terrifying thorny vine club, so powerful it looks like it could split the entire Isle of Armor in two!
You little rascal! You actually used the different characteristics of the Egui Phantom under different masks to deceive and ambush me, Master Ma, who is over seventy years old!

When the [Unyielding] trait is triggered, Ma Shide already knows that the balance of this battle has tilted infinitely in Xia Chi's favor.

But he still wanted to make one last attempt.

Because in my dictionary, Masdar, there is no such word as "defeat"!
Master Ma focused his thoughts and said in a deep voice, "See through it!"

see through?

Xia Chi smiled slightly and gave the order: "Charge straight ahead, thorny vine club!"

The [See Through] stance couldn't last long; Martial Arts Master Bear could only gamble on successfully using it the moment the giant club slammed down.

It made no mistakes!

But Ponpon is different. Even if this thorny vine stick is seen through, there's always another one.

It can be said that after that [glare], the outcome of this battle was already decided!

------

Xia Chi, having slightly relaxed his mind, looked behind Martial Arts Master Xiong, and then his pupils contracted.

He vaguely saw a figure in the bushes not far away!
Holy crap, where did this guy come from that squatting in the bushes?
Or is he taking a nap?
Without a doubt, at such close range, Ponpo delivered that devastating blow.

Even if Martial Arts Master Xiong could barely block some of the power with [See Through], the terrifying shockwave and flying debris would definitely be like a meat grinder, completely devouring that unfortunate guy who was so close!
Even if he's a true Pallet Town resident, he'll still lose his life here today!
Without hesitation, Xia Chi threw out another Poké Ball and shouted, "Ponpon, stop! Sister Fa, go save them!"

A bluish-gray figure darted out of the Poké Ball, its sharp eyes instantly locking onto the person Xia Chi had mentioned.

"Pop—?!"

Egui Peng had already rushed in front of Martial Arts Master Xiong.

Just as the thorny vine staff, imbued with the brunt of its ferocious power, was about to smash down on the Martial Arts Bear Master, Xia Chi's sudden command rang in its ears.

Having absolute trust in Xia Chi, Pengpeng resolutely carried out the order without hesitation.

However, stopping at the moment of unleashing full power, when the move is already like an arrow released from a bow, will undoubtedly come at a price.

Ergui Peng gritted his teeth and forcibly reversed the surging, violent energy within his body.

The fatal trajectory of the attack on the martial arts bear master and the figure behind it was miraculously reversed by Pengpeng's incredible willpower at the last moment.

Instead, it smashed into an empty open space far from the bushes!
boom--

The terrifying thorny giant club, carrying immense force that it couldn't stop in time, grazed the astonished face of the Martial Arts Bear Master and slammed into the ground beside him!

The entire Isle of Armor trembled violently as if a meteorite had struck!

A terrifying crack, several meters deep and stretching for tens of meters, instantly formed!
Countless pebbles and dirt shot into the sky, and the violent energy shockwave spread wildly in a ring!
Just as the aftershocks were about to reach the figures in the bushes, at the critical moment...

hum-

A streak of bluish-gray light rushed in at a speed beyond the limits of vision!

The flapping wings controlled the claws that had been formed with superpowers during flight, firmly gripping the limp Clara.

Get her to a safe location before the shockwave completely obliterates the bushes.

Smoke and dust filled the air, and gravel fell like rain.

A few seconds later, the dust settled.

That grove of trees has been leveled.

Without a doubt, if the thorny vine had fallen along its original trajectory, and if Xia Chi hadn't sent Zhenyi to rescue people...

That figure and this grove of trees will inevitably meet the same fate!

The Evil Creeper knelt on the edge of the enormous chasm it had created, its thorny vines long since vanished, and it was breathing heavily.

Xia Chi rushed over quickly, looking at E Gui Peng with concern as he saw the slight backlash caused by forcibly stopping his attack. He asked with care, "Are you alright, Peng Peng?"

"Bonnie~"

Ponpo tilted her head back and blinked, indicating to Xia Chi that there was no need to worry.

I'm a grass-type Pokémon~
Energy coalesced, and a warm, soft, pure white light enveloped her body.

Photosynthesis.

Meanwhile, the Tree of Life of the Six Herbs Bond was summoned precisely 200 seconds after the start of the battle.

Emerald light, like a gentle drizzle, poured down on Ponpo, continuously healing the injuries she had sustained in this legendary battle.

"Ponpon, you rest here for a while, I'll go take a look over there."

Xia Chi patted Ponpo's head, then turned to look in the other direction, his expression slightly somber.
