Chapter 236 A Comeback from Desperate Circumstances, the Magical Masked Cat Arrives! (5k)

[She actually withstood the continuous onslaught from the King of Leave?! Tirey is amazing!]

[The [V-Flame] that wiped out Dujuan's main force is only on par with an ordinary [Flame Fist]. Isn't it absurd that Wang Qiang was asked to leave?]

[Additional information: It's still V-Blazing that [shifts gears] twice, resulting in a significant physical attack boost.]

[I can't think of a way for Tiremy to win right now. Slaking keeps using Flame Punch, so is Tiremy going to keep using V-Scorch?]

[Impossible! Not only does this technique consume a huge amount of energy, but it was also clear from our last battle that [V-Flame] has the side effect of reducing power!]

[Immersed in the prison's perspective, this is truly a bit hopeless; how am I supposed to fight this?]

On the battlefield, the fighting has reached a fever pitch.

Thanks to the physical attack boost from the double [gear shift], and the nearly 200% damage increase from the [Dark Attribute] bond.

Tire Cat's [lower kick] dealt far more damage than expected.

boom--

A dull thud accompanied the explosion of fighting energy!
Wang Jianzhuang's body swayed violently from the kick, letting out a muffled groan filled with obvious pain.

Yes, it's similar to the reaction of the bear apprentice to the previous [Desperate Situation] technique.
This demonstrates just how terrifying the strength of this King-level Slaking is.

But the damage isn't the key issue; what matters is the negative effect of "Speed ​​Level -1".

The smoke and heat have not yet dissipated.

Wang Jianzhuang's body suddenly tore through the smoke, and on his huge fist, raging orange-red flames ignited once more!

What the audience can all think of, it's impossible that Senri, the strongest gym leader in Hoenn, wouldn't have overlooked.

Switching to other moves at will may allow Tire Cat's [Changeable] ability to change attribute resistance.

Given an overwhelming advantage in strength, it's better to use the Flame Fist technique rather than take such an uncertain risk.

But when the King of Leave began to take heavy steps in pursuit, Qianli frowned again.

The familiar feeling of sluggishness has returned.

While shifting gears twice to increase speed by 200%, he was hit by a low kick, causing his speed to drop sharply.

With the decline of one side and the rise of the other, the King of Leave was just a tiny bit short of catching up with Tire Nyan!
Furthermore, due to the [Sloth] trait, Slacker's speed is actually slowing down!
Qianli's heart sank.

[Laziness] is not only a trait, but also an innate quality deeply rooted in the bloodline of the Slacker King.

It's the kind of thing that's etched into our genes and is very difficult to change.

Of course, "difficult to change" means that it is possible to change.

Through a series of exclusive training sessions on "self-control," Qianli, the king of taking leave, has already developed a very low level of "laziness."

It's safe to say that there's no dog in the world that takes leave more often than this one!

However, inertia cannot be eradicated like quitting smoking, drinking, or internet addiction.

Therefore, the current situation where one can't run as fast as they want is still difficult to avoid.

Qianli understood that he could no longer lock down the Flame Fist.

Otherwise, it will be impossible to inflict any effective damage on Tire Cat again.

"Please grant leave, King! Swallow, return!"

Qianli made a decisive move and changed tactics.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wang, despite his strong physique, displayed astonishing agility that belied his size!

A surge of flight-type energy instantly enveloped its entire body, causing it to soar into the air like a predatory eagle!

A sharp gust of air tore through the air as Slaking pounced toward Tire Nyan at a speed far exceeding that of running!

On the other side of the battlefield, a glint flashed in Xia Chi's eyes.

The change in moves was exactly the opportunity he had been waiting for to break the deadlock!

"Thunder Fist!"

A flash of golden lightning disappeared from Tilley's eyes, and her attribute immediately switched to Electric, which is resistant to Flying-type!
On his fists and claws, violent golden lightning gathered wildly, crackling and exploding, and he unleashed it fiercely at the onrushing Slave King!
boom--

The collision of thunder and flight energy exploded into dazzling sparks!

Although the elemental resistance reduced some of the damage, Slaking's devastating attack power was still terrifying!
The enormous impact slammed into Tire Cat's petite body.

As if struck by a heavy hammer, Tire Cat flew backward uncontrollably and crashed heavily to the ground.

It would be very difficult to organize a counterattack in the current state, but Xia Chi did not want to waste the indolence gap that the King of Leave had entered due to his [sloth] trait.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly issued the command: "Act cute!"

Tirey struggled to her feet, her crimson pupils gleaming with pinkish-purple fairy energy, and an invisible allure surged toward Slaking.

The king's ferocious aura suddenly froze, and the suffocating pressure around him noticeably weakened.

[Aegyo] hits, greatly reducing Slaking's attack power!

And just as Tilley's [coquettishness] struck,

The King of Leave suddenly awoke from his sluggish state with a speed far exceeding any previous occurrence!

Fire fist!
Without needing to be commanded from afar, the fiery fist, carrying the power to incinerate everything, appeared as if by teleportation in front of Tire Cat, who had just finished being affectionate.

That destructive, scorching fist wind instantly burned the tip of Tire's nose!
------

boom--

In Xia Chi's suddenly contracted pupils, the Flame Fist slammed into Tire Cat, and the scorching flames sent it flying again!
Fortunately, Slaking's physical attack ability was greatly weakened by his recent act of acting cute.

Otherwise, even this Flame Fist would be difficult for Tire Cat to withstand.

Even so, this terrible damage has left Tire Cat in a state of utter despair!
Should we continue with the previous "kite tactic"?

After thinking for only a moment, Xia Chi immediately rejected the option.

The reason is simple: Tire Cat's condition is just too bad right now.

If another [Swallow Return] strike is delivered, there is absolutely no chance of sustaining it.

The only way to win is to go all out.

"Kick him down!"

Tire Cat gritted her teeth, and the flower bud on her neck suddenly bloomed. The tough vines shot out like snakes and instantly wrapped around Slave King's arm!
Using the pull of the vines, Tire Cat twisted her waist in mid-air, forcefully stopping her backward flight, and turned into a resolute streak of light to rush back!

Fighting-type energy gathered wildly on its long, charred legs, condensing into an invisible, heavy battle axe that swirled fiercely with a whooshing sound, sweeping towards Slaking's waist and abdomen!

boom--

The explosive fighting energy gnawed into his body like a malignant tumor, and Slaking let out a roar of even greater pain than before.

This move, which is extremely effective against heavy opponents, undoubtedly caused terrifying damage to Slaking!

"Roar--"

The King of Slave, who had fallen to the ground, was completely enraged. A deep, explosive dark red fighting energy instantly condensed on his left arm.

Arm hammer!

Xia Chi shouted, "Hold on!"

Although the chances of winning after withstanding this arm hammer are equally slim, it is the only way out left for Tire Cat!
In a critical moment, the speed boost from dual gear shifts proved crucial.

Just as the terrifying arm hammer, containing immense power, was about to strike, the moment of truth arrived.

A translucent energy barrier suddenly rose up!

hum-

Because Tirey's attribute changed to normal after using [Protect], the terrifying power of double the restraint made the energy barrier buzz and almost crack!
"work hard!"

With a resolute command from afar, the crimson energy on the arm of the Slave King shone even brighter, determined to end this battle!

Beneath the energy barrier, a flickering light shone on Tire Cat.

Its body was covered in wounds and scorch marks, and its small body looked as if it might collapse at any moment.

However, a resolute light still shone in Tire's crimson eyes!
"Nya!"

A sudden change occurred!

An unprecedented burst of milky-white light suddenly erupted from beneath the energy barrier!

The light was warm and vast, seemingly filled with endless life force!

The light of evolution!

Just as Slaking was about to give chase, he was startled by the sudden light of evolution and took a half step back.

Qianli's eyes softened instantly, and he said in a deep voice, "Please, Fake King, stop."

Regardless of whether it's a wild fight.

In a proper Pokémon battle, neither side should interrupt the Pokémon's evolution.

This is an unspoken rule among trainers that has existed for hundreds of years since the inception of Pokémon battles.

It is also a respect for the most sacred and sublime moment in the lives of these amazing creatures.

On the other side of the battlefield, Xia Chi's eyes flickered with a complex mix of emotions. His first companion, the New Leaf Cat that had stood by him through his most difficult times, had finally completed its final evolution!

The entire dojo was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone held their breath, staring in awe at the ball of light in the center of the arena, enveloped in milky white light and shaped like a cocoon of life.

The light grew brighter and brighter, and a tall, slender figure could be faintly seen stretching out within it.

at last.

As the light of evolution faded, a brand new figure gracefully landed.

If Tire Cat's appearance still retains some childlike innocence, then the humanoid elf in front of us, full of mysterious elegance, has the figure and charm of a young girl.

Her nearly two-meter-tall figure appeared light and agile, her body covered in soft, pale green to white fur, while her long legs looked as if she were wearing a layer of high-quality, silky black stockings.

Its limbs are slender yet powerful, its tail is shorter and bushier, and the petals and leaves that naturally form on its neck resemble its collar and cloak, adding to its elegance.

What is most striking is the mysterious dark green mask covering its face.

Only a pair of captivating and alluring cat eyes, somewhere between cherry blossom pink and crimson, were visible.

(Begging for nice fan art of Meowha, please be mindful of the content!)
Magical Masked Cat, Evolution Arrives!

------

[Holy crap, Tireyne has evolved!]

[A long-time viewer who's watched this all the way through prison life is truly moved to tears.]

[The protagonist is getting special treatment, meow! Evolving just when he's about to be defeated, is this going to be the standard comeback story?]

【Wow, how come this Magical Masked Cat from Prison Water is so tall? It's almost as tall as Slaking!】

The official average height of Magical Masked Cat is 1.5 meters, but this one looks to be 2 meters tall. What did it eat to grow so big?

So beautiful! I hope my Flame-Spotted Cat can be this elegant when it stands up!

[Then you should start adjusting your aesthetic sense now, it's more reliable]

[Hiss! Gentle catgirl! I want to raise a Shin-chan too!]

【No, you gentle catgirl. Is it serious?】

【.】

Tire Cat's sudden evolution undoubtedly sparked a wave of discussion in the live chat, even surpassing the discussion about the final 3v3 battle itself.

However, both trainers on the battlefield understood that the situation had reached a critical juncture.

Feeling the powerful, revitalizing aura emanating from his partner's body, Xia Chi's expression turned somewhat strange.

Could it be that the "evolutionary healing" concept in the anime is actually real?

Xia Chi, encountering the unusual situation of evolving during battle for the first time since transmigrating, began to have doubts.

Regardless, feeling the powerful connection between Xia Chi and Tire Miao, Xia Chi's desire for victory in this battle grew stronger.

Let the victory against Slaking be the gift for the evolution of the cat!

Xia Chi took a deep breath and issued the command: "Magic Mask Meow, V-Flame!"

At the same time, seeing that the evolution had been successfully completed, Senri put away the admiration in his eyes and resolutely shouted, "Slaking, Flame Fist!"

The Magic Masked Cat's tall figure moved as fast as a ghost, and the qualitative change in its abilities brought about by evolution was on full display at this moment!

With a light tap of his long legs on the ground, his entire body transformed into a streak of white and green light, advancing instead of retreating in the face of the Fake King's fiery fist, which was powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks!

The blazing flames burned fiercely on the peak of the King's fist, scorching the air to the point of near distortion.

However, an even more violent and profound platinum-gold fire energy suddenly rose up in front of the Magical Masked Cat!
V hot flame!

boom--

The anticipated evenly matched stalemate did not materialize.

Slaking's Flame Fist, which once brought Tilley to the brink of defeat, is now being steadily defeated by the overwhelming power of V-Flame!

The platinum-gold torrent of flames overwhelmingly engulfed the flames on the Slave King's fist, and the terrifying impact spread wildly along its thick arm!

"Hooooo——"

King Slave let out a painful roar, his strong body being pushed backward by this unparalleled force!

His strong feet carved deep furrows into the rocky ground, and there was a scorched mark on his right arm.

boom--

The aftershocks of [V-Flame] exploded on the ground, leaving a charred crater and billowing heat.

What a powerful force!
Qianli's pupils contracted slightly.

The improvements brought by the evolution of Magic Masked Cat, whether in speed or attack power, far exceeded his expectations.

Seeing that the King of Leave was once again in a brief period of inertia after making a move, Xia Chi pressed his advantage: "Thousand Transformations!"

The figure of the magical masked cat flashed by in the embers of the platinum flames.

The next instant, its tall, pale green body appeared like a ghost in the left blind spot of the Slave King's vision!
The magnificent flower buds and leaves at the neck of the flower suddenly burst forth with a dazzling emerald green light!
Suppressing his astonishment, Qianli shouted, "Counterattack with your arm hammer!"

The speed disadvantage is inevitable, so the slowing side effect of the [arm hammer] is no longer important.

Despite the burning pain, Wang, under the influence of the emergency room, once again gathered deep red fighting energy in his left arm, attempting to regain his footing and launch a counterattack.

But the Magic Masked Cat's movements were obviously much faster than that!
Countless leaves and petals, their edges gleaming with a sharp, cold light, resembled a suddenly blooming, deadly sea of ​​flowers, dodging the trajectory of the arm hammer at speeds beyond the limits of vision.

Like countless sharp knives, it frantically cut at Slave King's right arm, which had just been severely injured by V-Flame!

It will definitely hit, and it will definitely hit the vital point!

This is the terrifying aspect of the unique move that Magic Masked Cat naturally learns after evolving!
------

Puff puff--

The sound of rapid, rain-like pounding blended together!
King Slave's body was violently shaken by this sudden and violent attack!
The excruciating pain from the successive invasion of its right arm by the violent energies of fire and grass made it almost go mad!
If it hadn't been for its unwavering will, it might not have been able to unleash that [arm hammer].

However, the durability of the evolved Magic Masked Cat also underwent a qualitative change.

Furthermore, the [Grass] synergy and the continuous boost from [Titan's Resolve] are present from the start of the battle.

Although this arm hammer was extremely powerful, it could not pose a fatal threat.

Xia Chi's voice was resolute, "One more time, a thousand transformations!"

Without giving the King of Absence any chance to catch his breath, Magical Masked Cat strikes again while the King is slacking off!

Ignoring the excruciating pain of being struck by the [arm hammer], Magic Masked Cat used the recoil from the first wave of attacks to leap back lightly, and then incredibly, he used his strength a second time in mid-air to turn back!
A second, even more violent and dense storm of flowers and leaves has arrived!

The King of Leave is completely engulfed in the heart of a verdant storm of death!

It could only instinctively swing its arms to block, but the ever-changing angles were incredibly tricky, and countless leaves bypassed its defenses, slicing its body ruthlessly.

Only the painful roar was drowned out by the sharp whistling of the leaves tearing through the air.

"Attack with Flame Fist!"

Qianli himself didn't realize that there was a hint of anxiety in his voice.

Because his subconscious had already made him realize that at this moment, the offense and defense were in sync!

Just as the second wave of myriad transformations was about to end, Slacker's eyes turned bloodshot as he gathered his last strength and slammed his giant, flaming fist down fiercely towards the white-green figure at the center of the storm!

Sensing the incredibly weak waveguide within the King of Leave, Xia Chi understood that his opponent was at his last gasp.

He solemnly proclaimed, "The final one, the myriad of transformations!"

"Meow—"

The Magic Masked Cat let out a clear, long cry, enduring the impact of the Flame Fist and forcibly stabilizing its body!
Its neck-shaped leaves burst forth with an unprecedented emerald green brilliance!
A torrent of leaves and petals, more refined and sharper than the previous two, converged on its raised claws like an energy spear compressed to its limit.

then.

Magic Masked Cat suddenly threw it out, and the final blow, which contained all the remaining energy in its body, slammed into Slaking's chest, which was wide open from his full-force punch!
boom--

A dull, heart-pounding piercing sound and a deafening, explosive roar erupted simultaneously!
Slave King's battered body suddenly stiffened, and his crimson eyes instantly lost focus.

After shaking a few times, it crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

The smoke slowly dispersed.

In the center of the arena, Magic Masked Cat maintained its resolute stance, ready to deliver a devastating blow, its eyes beneath the deep green mask fixed on its fallen opponent.

Only after confirming that the King of Leave had indeed completely lost its ability to fight did the tension that had been supporting its body to the extreme finally ease.

Then, her crimson eyes closed suddenly and uncontrollably, and her whole body abruptly fell backward.

"Tirey Meow!"

Just before losing consciousness, the magical masked cat heard that all-too-familiar, anxious call through its ears.

A faint, weary yet blissful smile played on its lips.

Idiot, you're already a Magical Masked Cat!
