You are not allowed to be a Pokémon Trainer!

Chapter 294 Incineroar: You're the number one Pokémon in the universe? Then who am I? (8.8k views)

Compared to Meowth and Tyranitar, the evolved Urshifu is not much larger than its normal counterpart.

Of course, martial arts bear masters are not common, and the only comparable individuals are the bear parents who live far away on the Isle of Armor.

However, the level of concentration of his aura surpasses that of his other companions.

After all, its evolution time is more than ten times that of ordinary elves, just like Nezha who was born after a three-year pregnancy. It can't be considered ordinary no matter how you look at it.

As for why its size is only a normal little over two meters, just a little taller than the average of 1.9 meters in the encyclopedia.

Xia Chi speculated that it might be related to the genes of Martial Arts Master Xiong.

After all, he practices martial arts, and being too big would affect his agility.

Speed ​​and power combined are the key to victory!

Even so, the change from Xiong's apprentice to Xiong's martial arts master is still quite significant.

It's like a cute little boy suddenly growing into a muscular hunk overnight.

That's just how amazing Pokémon evolution is.
Upon opening his eyes, Martial Arts Bear Master's gaze immediately fell upon the trainer who had been waiting in front of him.

Their eyes met, and Xia Chi saw a completely transformed power in those new eyes.

I also saw that bond and trust that had remained unshaken despite the changes.

The Martial Arts Bear Master slowly raised its hand, which contained a brand new power, clenched its fist tightly, and felt the unprecedentedly powerful force surging within its body.

A hint of surprise flickered in his calm, deep eyes.

What a powerful force!

Martial Arts Master Xiong felt that he was now terrifyingly strong!
It couldn't help but let out a soft breath.

No, I can't float.

There are bears beyond bears, and skies beyond skies.

Compared to those two terrifying ancient spirits, its current strength is far inferior.

It is still far from reaching the height of even the bear parents.

We must keep working hard!
As Martial Arts Master Xiong was firmly convinced of his beliefs, he suddenly noticed someone making unwanted advances beside him.

Turning around, I saw it was my own trainer.

Xia Chi looked up at his partner, who had suddenly grown taller and now required him to look up to him, and smiled as he reached out and poked the bulging muscles of Martial Arts Master Xiong's arm without any hesitation.

"Whoa!"

The martial arts bear master subconsciously uttered a familiar question, its voice much deeper than before, which startled even itself.

"It feels really good."

Xia Chi curiously pinched the arm covered with thick black hair, where he could still feel the explosive power beneath it.

He shook his head and clicked his tongue in amazement: "Looks like I won't dare to go head-to-head with you anymore."

Before he evolved, Xia Chi would play "wrestling" with his bear apprentice almost every morning during his morning exercise.

Firstly, it's to "increase intimacy," and secondly, it's a form of training.

To improve one's physical fitness.

Of course, this is on the premise that the bear apprentice does not use energy and it is purely hand-to-hand combat.

With his significantly higher weight and physique, Xia Chi could still manage to have some fun.

Now.
Looking at the Martial Arts Master Xiong's arm muscles, which were almost as thick as his own waist.

Xia Chi felt that it was better not to do anything that would lead to his death.

"However, is the first form after evolution a combo-based style?"

Xia Chi looked at the body hair on Martial Arts Master Xiong's head that was draped downwards like a headband, and said this.

The two forms of the Martial Arts Bear Master are not significantly different in overall appearance.

The biggest difference is the two more noticeable tufts of body hair on the top of the head and the thighs.

In Fighting, a Dark-attribute single-hit attack will forcefully rise upwards, while a Water-attribute combo attack will cascade downwards like water.

Judging from its current characteristics, the martial arts bear master is currently maintaining a combo-style form.

Then the question comes
"Master Xiong, how are you feeling now?"

Xia Chi asked with some anticipation, "Can you capture that flowing feeling?"

Although she knew that there would be no problem with Tongzi's products, Xia Chi was still a little uneasy.

When the topic of martial arts came up, Martial Arts Master Xiong's expression instantly became incredibly focused.

It calmed itself down and carefully sensed the two completely different yet incredibly close forces within its body, rising and falling like tides.

The explosive destructive power of the One-Hit Strike style and the continuous offensive spirit of the Combo style are now clearly imprinted in its bloodline and soul.

"Whoa!"

Martial Arts Master Xiong roared at Xia Chi and nodded solemnly.

"So."

Xia Chi took a few steps back to create some space, her voice encouraging: "Master Xiong, why don't you give it a try?"

Martial Arts Master Xiong took a deep breath, and his calm, ocean-like aura began to subtly change.

It lowered its center of gravity slightly and spread its arms out in a fighting stance.

The next second, an overwhelmingly domineering and ferocious aura suddenly erupted from its body.

The martial arts master's eyes became extremely sharp, as if they could see through everything, and dark energy rose and swirled around his body like flames.

This is the fierce form of the One-Hit Strike style!
This momentum lasted only a few seconds before receding like a tide under the control of Martial Arts Master Xiong.

The domineering sense of oppression quickly subsided and internalized, and the azure water vapor flowed around him as if it were alive.

The combo style can be displayed freely!
"It's alright, quite silky smooth."

Xia Chi nodded in satisfaction, but then asked, "Could it be even faster and smoother?"

It's not that I have to nitpick.

The situation in battle changes rapidly, so switching forms as quickly as possible is always better.

Ideally, it should be as seamless as Meowha, instantly changing attributes.

Master Xiong nodded upon hearing this, and then tried again.

This time it was indeed faster, but it still took almost a second to complete the switch.

Martial Arts Master Xiong wasn't discouraged, but he frowned slightly, clearly not satisfied with the speed.

It's still not fast enough.
Xia Chi patted Martial Arts Master Xiong's arm and encouraged him, "It's okay, as long as you're making progress."

Master Xiong nodded steadily and replied, "Woo-hoo!"

The commotion naturally attracted the attention of the other companions, and soon Fa Jie and Victini approached and gathered around.

While they were curiously watching and interacting with their "new partner," Xia Chi opened the system and checked the panel data of the Martial Arts Bear Master after its evolution.

------

【Martial Arts Bear Master - Combo Attack Style - ★★】

[Attribute: Fighting/Water (already switched), Fighting/Dark (to be switched)]

[Gender: Male]

【Level: 47】

【Special Feature: Invisible Fist】

【能力：生命352（+168），物攻426（+142），物防232（+89），特攻131（+82），特防162（+88），速度327（+123）】

[Techniques: Dark Strike, Water Stream Combo, Surprise Attack, Water Jet, Bodybuilding, Insight, Brick Break, Iron Head, Swallow Return, Sword Dance, Close Combat, Flame Fist, Lightning Fist, Ice Fist, Endurance, Rapid Return.]

【Equipment: Last Whisper (.)】

[Equipment: Hand of Justice (.)]

[Equipment: Grass Attribute Bond Emblem (Activates Grass Attribute Bond when equipped)]

【Bond: Fighting (2)】

【Bond (Activated): Water (2) At the start of battle, the bonded Pokémon gains 0.1% increase in current HP recovery, damage reduction, and damage reflection per second (maximum 100/150/200 seconds). In addition, whenever it deals damage to an enemy, it gains a HP shield equal to 3/5/7% of its maximum HP! (Six Water: Upon reaching the maximum, summons an endless wave!)】

【Bond (to be activated): Evil attribute (6) Defeating opponents will collect a huge amount of Fear Points. Every 100 stacks of Fear Points will provide an additional 15% damage and a Fear Chest. Opening Fear Points will grant rewards! (Current Fear Points: 1813.5, Damage Increase: 271%!)】

[Bond: Dual Martial Arts (1)]

【Bond: Legendary Shadow (1)】

【Bond: Grass (5)】

Although the Martial Arts Bear Master doesn't have equipment like the Trinity Force of Meowha or the Chosen Badge that boosts stats.

However, the 20% bonus from star upgrades and the 20% bonus from the Victini [Victory Star] synergy alone makes the numbers quite terrifying.

Xia Chi compared it to Tyranitar, a monster of similar level that had also undergone a star-level evolution.

In terms of health, physical attack, and speed, Master Xiong completely dominates.

Special attacks are unnecessary; they're completely useless.

Only the solid defense is slightly inferior to the solid defense.

This is where the terrifying power of legendary Pokémon is truly manifested.

Even disregarding mechanics, this Martial Arts Ursaring, currently only at level 40-something, is already at the level of a level 70-something Elite Four main Pokémon in terms of stats.

Then comes the bond.

Including the Grass-type bond activated through emblems, Master Bear currently has as many as six bonds, the most among all of Xia Chi's Pokémon.

Of course, the synergy between the two attributes of water and evil cannot coexist, according to the description.

This requires making appropriate trade-offs during battles.

Xia Chi already knew about the Water attribute bond—

This bond can also be triggered when Ponpo wears the well mask.

Overall, it's similar to the Grass-type bond, both being ability-growth types that develop during battles.

However, Grass-type Pokémon boosts physical attack, physical defense, and HP, making them well-rounded in both offense and defense.

Water-based systems primarily enhance defensive attributes.

At its lowest level, maxing out the tier grants 10% current health recovery, as well as damage reduction and reflection.

The effect is actually quite good, considering it's just a low-level bond that was barely achieved.

Combined with the life shield that forms with each instance of damage dealt, it's more than enough.

When you need to switch attributes to strengthen your defense or to perform water-based combos, Martial Arts Bear Master can switch to a combo-style form.

However, it still can't compare to the brutal and useful 200%+ damage increase from the Evil attribute synergy.

That's normal, since Xia Chi has already maxed out the evil attribute synergy, so it's impossible for a water attribute synergy to just pop up and cause trouble.

Xia Chi believes that in the future, Dark-type one-hit-kill forms will likely be used more often.

Combo attacks are already quite good as a defensive supplement.

Exiting the system panel, Xia Chi suddenly remembered something.

He shared the good news that his bear apprentice had just completed his evolution with Bogarman.

A short while later, a message came back: "Congratulations, we'll report your name in a bit."

Yu Muxue was referring to the registration for the Evil Attribute Expert Competition.

This world Pokémon Championship is the second-highest level tournament after the eight Masters Tournaments. No, it's now called the "Ten Masters Tournaments." The number of participants is determined internally by each league.

Director Jiang, who was replaced by Xia Chi, has probably been notified by now.

Now that Xiong Tudi has completed its evolution, Xia Chi's team also includes three Dark-type Pokémon, which fully meets the requirements for the competition.

We're just waiting for the competition to officially begin in two months.

------

During dinner, Xia Chi brought the evolved Bear Master to make its official debut in front of all the companions.

As expected, the Martial Arts Ursa Master's incredibly powerful and imposing appearance attracted the attention of the vast majority of Pokémon.

Even Babu the Groundhog couldn't help but come closer and curiously poked the firm, full muscles on its leg, looking shocked.

Not long ago, the bear apprentice was shorter than him, but now he has grown so tall that he can barely reach the bear's waist!

That's truly terrifying.
Master Bear was a little embarrassed at first, but as more and more elves gathered around, it gradually relaxed and regained its usual calm and composed demeanor.

Although it is said that Urshifu is among the least prestigious of the legendary Pokémon, and some people in my previous life did not even consider it a divine Pokémon.

But in this world, the rare Master Bear is indeed a genuine legendary elf.

And because of its rivalry with the legendary Mastedt, it holds a very high place in people's hearts.

The same is true of unusual trees.

She was very curious about the evolved Master Bear's strength and was eager to try it out herself.

But the next day was the main day of the King of Fighters Challenge.

The main Pokémon must conserve their energy and save their best for this crucial battle.

If we only use our non-main lineup to fight, it always feels like something is missing.

Under Xia Chi's patient persuasion, Qi Shu had no choice but to temporarily suppress his fighting spirit and agree to have a proper sparring session after the competition.

Time passed quietly, and the night passed peacefully without incident.

After a good rest and ten days of intensive training, Qishu finally faced a battle that was perhaps second only to the dojo exam in importance to her.

The King of Fighters Challenge Aoki, the King of Flying-type Devil Fruits!

11 month 3 day.

The futuristic, sci-fi-inspired Brewing Light Arena was bustling with people and filled with a lively atmosphere.

Without a doubt, they were all there to watch this King of the Hill challenge match.

This is not a fixed event, but rather an event that is temporarily started whenever there are qualified trainers who choose to challenge for the Elite Four title.

"Sufficient qualifications" are two hard rules that apply to all alliances.

That is, the champion of the league tournament, or one of the eight official gym leaders.

The conditions were extremely demanding, hence the challenge between Kijuu, the Gym Leader of the Brewmaster Gym, and Aoki, the Flying Elite Four member.

This is another World Cup challenge in the Padiya region after more than a year.

The last time was when the previous champion of the Padiya League challenged Shin Li.

The outcome was naturally a victory for Xinli; otherwise, she wouldn't be a superstar now.

As for the process, 6:1, a rather brutal score difference, which can be said to be a huge one with little suspense.

In fact, looking at all the major leagues, the winning rate of the challenged champions in the King of Kings Challenge is even over 80%!

This data is only available when challengers can choose their own targets and are mostly in a situation where there is an attribute advantage.

This clearly demonstrates just how dominant the "King of the World," representing the strongest force in the league below the champion, is!

Xia Chi was not invited to appear in the studio as a commentator this time; instead, he sat in the audience seats near the front, holding Ponpo and Bictigini.

Before the match started, the live broadcast camera even spun around and showed him for a few seconds.

A round of applause erupted from the audience, interspersed with whistles and well-meaning boos.

After all, those who follow him and Qishu know that the two maintain a close relationship that goes beyond that of ordinary friends.

Xia Chi waved generously in the direction of the camera and shouted, "Go, Qi Shu!"

Then, he caught Bictini, who was hiding nearby and secretly eating macarons.

Holding this legendary Pokémon, a symbol of victory, high up seems to be lending the tree a lucky "star of victory."

The crowd erupted in even louder cheers.

Since it was their home turf, most of the people who came to watch the game were citizens of Niangguang City who supported their own stadium owner, Kiju.

Meanwhile, the live stream chat was flooded with comments. ["Lao Shui was there too? Tsk tsk tsk, those two have a really close relationship."]

[Hey bro, haven't you been online these past couple of days? Qishu streamed Xia Chi and Xin Li's doubles friendly match a couple of days ago, I recommend watching it, it was super exciting!]

For some reason, seeing Xia Chi makes me feel like Qi Shu's win rate is at least 20% higher. How come?

[There must be a shady person giving you pointers afterward, right?]

[Victinée is so cute~]

[Great! It's Victory Star Victini! We're saved!]

------

Interestingly, before the King of Kings Challenge, there was a segment where the two contestants exchanged harsh words.

The large screen at the scene flashed, and the first thing that appeared was the noisy Bao Canteen in the background.

In the scene, Aoki, the king of flying-type characters, looks exhausted, like a corporate slave who has just finished overtime, with his eyes filled with "I want to go home".

"Ah, what are your thoughts on the King of Kings Challenge?"

Aoki's eyelids drooped, and he sighed weakly, "Ah, the unnecessary workload has increased again."

The voice-over added casually, "President Ye Ci seems to have mentioned that if you successfully defend your title, the preparation period will be considered paid leave, and you will be able to get an additional 15 days of annual leave every year thereafter."

Aoki straightened up instantly, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and even his tone became firm and powerful.

"A strange tree, is that it? Listen carefully, the position of Heavenly King is not something a brat like you can handle!"

"You're a million years too early to challenge me!"

"After you lose the match, go and cry to Xia Chi!"

The audience burst into laughter.

Even Xia Chi, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head helplessly.

Brother Aoki really knows how to do things!
Immediately afterwards, the screen switched to the Brewing Dojo.

Kiju stood in the center of the arena after finishing a dojo match, beads of sweat still on his forehead, but his eyes were bright and confident.

"I will definitely be the winner of this match."

"Because I have a reason to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings!"

Kiju, brimming with chuunibyou (delusional) energy, declared, "The sky isn't the finish line, it's my starting line, Mr. Aoki. Be prepared to be struck down by a barrage of lightning!"

[Hahaha, Uncle Aoki's eyes lit up when he heard about annual leave, so relatable!]

Is it possible that after stepping down as a superstar, the workload he actually reduced was more than the 15 days of annual leave he would have taken?

[Aoki: I didn't know. I came to compete because I heard there was a holiday.]

[Could the reason Qi Shu said he had to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings be because of Xia Chi?]

[How could two people mention this? The Prison Water's participation rate is 100%!]

[This is an exclusive report from our reporter Xia Chi on the front lines!]

The hilarious pre-match interviews actually heightened the already heated atmosphere of the game.

Before the match, many people believed that Aoki, who had been complaining about his heavy workload, would lack fighting spirit.

And Yaji, who knows Aoki very well, gave him an irresistible reason—15 days of paid annual leave!

The allure of this title defense bonus might be even greater for Aoki than a 50% pay rise.

The same applies to the strange tree.

The fighting spirit and determination she displayed in the interview were completely different from her usual lighthearted and entertaining manner during live broadcasts.

In this King of the Hill challenge, the two, brimming with fighting spirit, will undoubtedly give their all for victory!
Amidst the enthusiastic commentary, spotlights illuminated the battle corridors on both sides of the main arena.

Aoki steadily emerged from the shadows. Today, he had unusually taken off his signature suit and put on a dark blue battle uniform, making him appear calm and composed, a stark contrast to his usual lazy demeanor.

On the other side, Qi Shu was dressed in a modified version of the museum owner's outfit, her pink and blue twin ponytails swaying gently with her steps, and her face, too, had lost its liveliness and looked slightly solemn.

The entire arena gradually quieted down.

The referee, riding on the Shielded Sword Monster, hovered at the edge of the arena, loudly reading the rules.

"The match will be a 6v6 singles battle, allowing one Mega Evolution and one Crystallization. The battle ends when all of one side's Pokémon are unable to battle! Now, both players, please take your positions!"

The entire Brewing Arena gradually quieted down.

Tens of thousands of spectators unconsciously held their breath, waiting for the start of this duel.

The referee's whistle broke the silence—

"Game start!"

Both players threw their Poké Balls almost simultaneously.

Two beams of white light flashed and intertwined in front of the two people.

The robust Mk Eagle spread its broad wings and emitted a sharp cry, spreading an invisible sense of oppression.

The intimidation feature is activated!
In front of Qishu, a Pokémon resembling a large dog leaped into the arena.

Its entire body was bright yellow, and its deep blue mane stood up like lightning. As soon as it appeared, it lowered its body and let out a deep roar.

It's Raiden!

The spirit of the strange tree exceeded the expectations of most of the viewers.

[Huh? Is this Qishu's main Pokémon? They actually brought it out in such a crucial match?]

[Was this chosen specifically for super evolution? It seems like a case of losing more than you gain.]

[What kind of presence can a Pokémon that was only mentioned briefly in that live stream by the prisoner, now that it has Mega Evolved, possibly have?]

[I don't know, but Qi Shu must have discussed it with Xia Chi. The fact that he was able to pull it out means it has a purpose. We'll see.]

------

Not only the live chat, but also the audience was in an uproar.

It seems they also don't quite understand Qishu's bold choice.

Aoki narrowed his eyes slightly, but showed no sign of underestimating his opponent.

As a superstar, he knew that behind any seemingly unreasonable choice, there might be a carefully designed tactic.

What's more, the one providing the tactical support behind Qishu is that man!
Aoki dared not be careless and immediately issued the command: "Starhawk, tailwind!"

The Mk Eagle flapped its wings, and air currents began to swirl across the field, gradually forming a strange energy wind.

Tailwind, a Flying-type status move. When in Tailwind state, the Speed ​​of all your Pokémon is doubled!
But the strange tree was one step ahead.

"Thunder Beast, Mega Evolution!"

Qi Shu raised his right hand, and the keystone bracelet on his wrist shone brightly.

At the same time, the Mega Stone carried by Raiden also responded with a dazzling light.

The two beams of light converged in the air, and the light of evolution enveloped Thunder Beast in an instant.

Its body was reshaped and sublimated in the bright light, its shape became more streamlined, and the mane on its back stood up more exaggeratedly, like real lightning.

As the light faded, Super Raiden appeared on the field in a brand new battle form!
Its body was crouched low, like a lightning bolt poised to strike, and its bright yellow eyes flashed with electricity.

The stadium's large screen quickly showed a close-up, and it must be said that the overall image of Super Raiden is still quite cool.

Its striking design immediately drew gasps of surprise.

As soon as it completed its Mega Evolution, Mega Raiden roared to the sky, a roar that resounded throughout the entire arena!

Immediately, an invisible wave of energy pressure surged in all directions.

A faint purple light suddenly flowed across the body of the Mk Eagle.

The intimidation feature is activated!
Starhawk's physical attack has been reduced!

At the same time, Staraptor, which also has the [Intimidate] ability, retaliated with its own color.

But the problem is
Raichu is a pure Special Attack Pokémon, and Intimidate has absolutely no effect on it.

Aoki's expression remained calm, but his slightly furrowed brows betrayed his worry.

He started with Stark Hawks hoping to gamble on whether he could intimidate Babu Groundhog from Qishu, but unexpectedly, he was the one who got intimidated instead.
This is far from over.

Qishu gave Aoki no chance to adjust: "High five surprise attack!"

As soon as the threat was made, the Super Thunder Beast instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged out!

Before the Hawk could fully gain its tailwind, a swift and powerful palm strike slammed into its head!
The large bird hovering in mid-air stiffened, momentarily shrinking back in fear.

Tailwind, interrupted!
[Huh? Mega Raichu's ability is Intimidate? And it can also use Fake Out?]

Oh my god, why didn't you say so earlier!

[I remember High Five wasn't in Electamon's move pool, right? Am I mistaken?]

[Don't doubt your memory. As someone who has a Raiden, I can tell you I simply can't learn it. It's because of the Prison Water's power again.]

[Xia Chi: Otherwise, what do you think I came to Parthia for?]

[Mega Razer is so fast! Mega Evolution took a little time, but it still managed to rush over and interrupt Staraptor's Tailwind!]

Indeed, what a smooth combination of intimidation and a high-five surprise attack! For a fleeting moment, I saw a familiar, reliable, and strong back!

[Wow, that's really daring! Aoki started for both the Warriors and the Hawks, and that "unyielding" Qi Shu exploded!]

[Then why not just use Electro Revert instead of Mega Evolution? The intimidation from Mega Evolution puts you in control!]

[That makes perfect sense! And Super Raiden looks much better than Tiger God, could it be that Super Raiden is Tiger God's replacement?]

Incineroar: You're the number one Pokémon in the universe? Then who am I?

Xia Chi smiled slightly in the audience and gently stroked Ponpon in his arms.

Bet right.

The Starhawk has no ability to counter [Intimidate], and its tailwind is broken.

It can be said that Qishu seized the initiative at the beginning.

However, the outcome of a King of Fighters match is never determined by the gains or losses of a single round.

The real test for the strange tree has only just begun.

------

"Good job!"

Qishu clenched his fist. "Thunder Beast, use Electric Terrain now!"

The Mega Thunder Beast roared, and a surge of powerful electricity erupted from its body, instantly engulfing the entire battlefield.

Blinding golden lightning bolts spread wildly across the ground, creating a massive electromagnetic field over the entire battlefield!

Electrical site complete!
Within this area, all Electric-type moves used by Pokémon have their power increased by 50% (unchanged version before Generation VIII), and all Pokémon cannot fall asleep!
Undoubtedly, this is a field condition similar to sunny or rainy weather, which can greatly boost Electric-type Pokémon.

However, because there are relatively few features that can interact with this field, neither in the game nor in reality has a "Team Electric Field" similar to the Weather Team.

Or rather, it's not mainstream.

However, there is no denying that this is a huge advantage for the Qishu, whose most Pokémon are Electric-type!
Just as the Mega Raiden was condensing the Electric Field.

Aoki over there quickly snapped out of his shock at "why did Raidenmon come over and slap me unconscious?"

He instantly retorted, "Starhawk, Brave Bird Attack!"

The Mk Eagle, having broken free from its momentary state of fear, let out an angry cry.

Deep blue energy burst forth from his body, instantly enveloping his entire being.

Immediately, Starhawk, with the momentum of a dive, tore through the air with a resolute posture and charged fiercely towards Mega Raiden in the arena!

Even with its physical attack reduced, Komhawk's base attack power remains formidable, making this attack still a force to be reckoned with.

Qi Shu promptly gave the order, "Hold the line!"

Reality isn't a video game battle where I have to wait for you to use this move before I can use the next one.

With the slight advantage it had previously created and the extreme speed brought by Mega Evolution, a semi-transparent energy barrier instantly unfolded in front of Mega Raiden!

They managed to hold the line just before the Mk Eagle's Brave Birds could launch their fierce attack.

boom--

The valiant bird, carrying immense power, crashed solidly into the protective barrier. The violent collision of the two extreme energies unleashed a deafening roar and a blinding burst of light!

Cracks spread across the barrier's surface instantly, causing it to tremble violently, yet it ultimately withstood this terrifying, earth-shattering blow.

"It's now!"

A sharp glint flashed in Qishu's beautiful eyes as she seized the fleeting opportunity to counterattack, "Thunder Beast, Thunderbolt!"

The moment the barrier dissipated, the lightning-like mane on the back of the Super Thunder Beast burst forth with dazzling lightning that was impossible to look at directly!
A massive, powerful beam of lightning shot into the sky, drawing power from the entire electrical field, distorting the air, and hurtling towards the M'K Eagle in mid-air!

Its power was so overwhelming, it was as if divine punishment had descended!
Faced with this 100,000-volt attack amplified by the electric field, Aoki remained completely calm.

"Muk Eagle, gain altitude!"

At the critical moment, the Mk Eagle suddenly flapped its wings and soared upwards, narrowly missing the deadly lightning bolt.

However, the countless leaping electric snakes formed after the 100,000-volt explosion inevitably swept across its wing tips, leaving a scorched black mark!

Even the flapping of the Mk Eagle's wings became somewhat unsteady.

Qishu pressed his advantage, shouting, "Thunder Beast, Electric Net!"

Although this electric-attribute move has relatively low power, it has a huge range and an additional effect of "reducing the opponent's speed".

"Starhawk, perch!"

Aoki gave orders almost simultaneously, calmly choosing to prioritize stabilizing the situation.

The crackling, scorching electric net was swiftly woven and thrown out by the Mega Thunder Beast, its vast range leaving Starhawk with virtually no room to dodge.

The electric grid successfully attached itself in the next instant, and golden currents wrapped around the Starhawk's body, causing its movements to slow down noticeably.

Fortunately, the Starhawk managed to resist the paralyzing and binding force of the electric grid and successfully executed Roost.

It emitted a soft, pure white light as it slowly descended onto the crackling ground.

Although the electric field prevented sleep, it could not hinder this technique for restoring energy.

Feathers scattered, and the Muke Eagle's vitality began to recover, its breathing becoming much more stable.

More importantly, upon landing, the flight attribute within the Starhawk temporarily disappears, leaving only its normal attribute.

This means that it has gained a significant boost in resistance against pure electric-type Mega Thunder Beasts!
Qi Shu frowned slightly, deep in thought.

Despite the boost from Electric Terrain, Mega Raiden's Electric-type moves can still deal considerable damage.

However, in reality, it is not as effective as directly countering the Fighting moves of this purely Normal-type Staraptor.

Moreover, once the Mk Eagle lands, its air-to-ground advantage is completely lost.

The speed is further reduced due to the influence of the power grid.
Replacing [Volt Replacement] with Babu Groundhog to start snowballing seems like a better option.

Thinking of this, Qishu resolutely shouted, "Thunder Beast, Volt Switch!"

Command voices echoed across the battlefield.

However, a calm smile, as if he had already anticipated this, appeared on Aoki's lips.

"Now's the time, it's too crystallizing!"

At the same time, Aoki raised the Taijing Pearl he had prepared high, and its light burst forth!

Once the order was given, an unexpected change occurred.

A dazzling burst of crystalline energy erupted from the body of the Muke Eagle, quickly condensing into a huge and magnificent earthen-yellow crystal crown above its head.

Thick, crystalline, rock-like armor instantly covered its entire body, exuding an aura as steady as a mountain.

Crystal Attribute: Ground!

This is actually not a difficult crystal attribute to guess—

This is because it is a perfect attribute that is completely immune to electricity and has double the resistance to it.

What made Kiju's pupils shrink suddenly was the timing of Aoki Tai's crystallization!

The electric light that had just surged around the Super Thunder Beast flickered a few times and then completely dissipated under the pressure of the thick ground crystal power!

Attribute immunity, Volt replacement, use failed!
