You are not allowed to be a Pokémon Trainer!

Chapter 365 This isn't a Pokémon battle commentary, it's Xia Chi's praise group live stream!
Inside Qishu's live stream, the frenzy of comments continued.

[I'm so awesome, One-Punch Man is amazing!]

[If you're not a true buddy, you're not even going to act anymore, are you? You just killed him with a single freezing punch!]

[Finally, he could say those words! Master Xiong: "Have you made enough of a scene?"]

[No, now it's not just Pokémon, the trainer "Prisoner of Water" has also opened up, right? How did he manage to pinpoint Greninja's true form with such precise targeting?]

[Prison Water: Does not closing it mean it's open?]

Although I expected it, Master Xiong's explosive power is just too terrifying.

[Wow! Even more terrifying is Prison Water's scheming. She tricked Greninja into switching to Ground type, then attacked with Ice Punch, which is super effective against Ground type. It's safe to say that no one understands the art of transformation better than Prison Water!]

What if Merdan doesn't follow the script?

Even if that lightning punch hits, it's not a loss; it's just a matter of small or large gains. Prison water is never a loss!

[Martial Arts Master Bear: One-Man Kill Progress (1/6) Completed!]

Compared to the excited barrage of comments, which were like celebrating the New Year, Qi Shu appeared unusually calm, even with a touch of self-righteous pride.

"I really don't know what you guys are getting so excited about~"

She tilted her head, her light blue hair swaying gently. "Aren't waveguide enemy detection, attribute deception, and fatal combos all routine operations for Mizuya-sensei?"

This blatant bias immediately shifted the tone of the live stream's chat, filling it with good-natured teasing and banter.

[So they're protecting her already?]

[Kiki-sama, you can barely contain your smile!]

[Got it, this isn't a Pokémon battle commentary, it's a special live stream featuring Xia Chi's praise!]

[Ugh, this is so blatantly dog ​​food! (Slams table)]

Even with her extensive live-streaming experience and cheerful personality, Qi Shu couldn't help but blush when faced with the overwhelming barrage of teasing comments.

She coughed lightly, somewhat flustered, and quickly tried to steer the conversation back on track.

"Ahem! Everyone, focus on the match! Judging from the result, Mr. Mordan's strategy of launching an aggressive attack at the start has clearly failed, and the crucial Mega Evolution resource has also failed to achieve the expected effect. Instead, the [Transform] ability was cleverly exploited by Teacher Xia Chi, leading to a swift defeat. This is a significant blow to Mr. Mordan's team rhythm. Next, let's see what kind of Pokémon he will send out and how he will stabilize his position and try to turn the tide!"

On the battlefield.

Modan silently raised the Poké Ball and recalled Greninja, which had lost its ability to battle and reverted from its Mega Evolution form.

His expression was complex and hard to decipher, showing both frustration at having his tactics completely seen through and amazement at the precision of Xia Chi's calculations.

He knew perfectly well that Xia Chi had outmaneuvered him from beginning to end, from waveguide tracking to the double fist trap, every step he took was in Xia Chi's rhythm.

But deep down, he still had a lingering question—

Even with the elemental advantage and the successful calculation, the damage caused by that [Frozen Fist] seemed to slightly exceed his expectations based on the damage from the previous [Water Flow Combo] and [Grass Strike].

According to his estimate, Greninja should have been able to hold on for a little longer, instead of collapsing at the slightest touch.

Could it be that... this martial arts bear master's attacks have some kind of mechanism that continuously improves as the battle progresses?

A vague idea flashed through his mind.

But now is not the time to delve into it.

Merdan quickly composed himself and suppressed his doubts.

Uncertainty is always the most certain element when battling against Xia Chi, a trainer who seems born to create miracles.

He had already made full mental preparations before he stepped into this battle.

While the swift defeat of Super Greninja is certainly frustrating, the competition is far from over.

Playing each match well and doing his best to force out more of his opponent's trump cards is his duty and dignity as a senior and the King of Alola.

Without further hesitation, he decisively threw out the second Poké Ball.

"Please, Supervillain!"

A flash of white light appeared, and a strange figure appeared on the water field.

It looks like a deep purple dome tent covered with sharp protrusions, floating steadily on the water.

Through the narrow gap that the "tent" revealed, one could vaguely see a purple entity with yellow pupils and a cunning yet indifferent gaze.

Replacing Greninja is none other than Toxapex, a Poison-type Pokémon from the Alola region, renowned for its extreme defensive capabilities!
If Greninja represents the ultimate in offense and agility, then Toxapex is the epitome of survival and defense ingrained in its very being.

Its outermost layer of sharp, indestructible shell is its proudest barrier, making most physical attackers tremble in fear.

The combination of water and poison attributes gives it three weaknesses: ground, electricity, and superpowers. However, it also grants it resistance to a total of eight attributes.

Its unique skill, [Fortress], not only perfectly protects itself but also poisons any opponent who dares to come into direct contact with it.

It can be said that this is a Pokémon that takes the "defensive" tactic to the extreme and is a nightmare for many melee physical attackers!
Theoretically speaking, its impenetrable defense and disgusting poisoning effect perfectly counter the fighting style of the Martial Arts Bear Master, which relies on close-quarters combat and excels in physical output.

------

"Megamind, Iron Wall!"

Merdan's voice was calm and steady, showing no sign of wavering due to the previous defeat.

He had fully experienced the terrifying, illogical attack power of this martial arts bear master.

Even the supervillain, known for its defense, felt it wasn't secure enough and needed to add another layer of [Iron Wall] for a huge boost in physical defense before he could feel a little more at ease.

His ingrained thinking led him to believe that Greninja's rapid defeat was mainly due to its inherently fragile durability.

As long as Supervillain's head is tough enough and its shell is hard enough, it can withstand the impact of Martial Arts Bear Master's violent wave.

As the command was issued, Superbad Star's body, which stood upright on the water's surface, trembled slightly, and its outer shell, resembling a conical hat, rapidly contracted and tightened.

It immediately emitted a silvery-white metallic luster, like finely refined steel!

With [Iron Wall] complete, Supervillain's physical defense capabilities have been enhanced to a point of utter despair!

However, Xia Chi's expression remained unchanged in the face of this defense that could be described as a wall of sighs.

His command remained concise and direct: "Charge! Combo attack! Rock Smash!"

Do you think you can defend against Master Xiong's punches and kicks with just [Iron Wall]?
You probably haven't experienced the armor-piercing effect of "Last Whisper"!

"Whoa!"

The Martial Arts Bear Master let out a deep battle roar, and its massive body once again traversed the water, charging towards the Supervillain, which had transformed into a steel fortress!

The fighting attribute light on the fist was no longer as dazzling as before; instead, it was more restrained and concentrated.

It integrates the martial arts essence of "continuous and penetrating strikes" of the combo style into the basic move [Rock Smash].

This makes the seemingly ordinary attack less aggressive and domineering, but more fluid and smooth.

boom! boom! boom!
Martial Arts Master Xiong's fists were like tireless pile drivers, continuously pounding on the super-bad star's metallic shell.

The dull thud echoed across the water like the beating of war drums.

Supervillain's body swayed slightly with each impact, splashing tiny droplets of water, but its sturdy shell remained as immovable as a real fortress wall!
Judging from the scene, it looked more like a one-sided, boring boxing training session.

Of course, Supervillain's role is that of an extremely resilient punching bag. But this punching bag's resilience far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Its already abnormally high physical defense durability, combined with the massive boost from [Iron Wall], made the Martial Arts Bear Master's continuous punches, which were powerful enough to split rocks, seem like they were just tickling it.

However, Merdan did not lower his guard; instead, his expression became even more serious.

Wasn't the Greninja from before just like that?
The seemingly harmless attacks lay the seeds of defeat, before the sudden and violent demise.

He stared intently at Martial Arts Master Xiong's every move, trying to discern the hidden killing intent within.

Just then, Xia Chi's command sounded again.

"Martial Arts Bear Master, Lightning Fist!"

As soon as the command was given, dazzling golden lightning flashed once again on Martial Arts Master Xiong's left fist!

The crackling electricity coiled around his fist, its power terrifying, as if it would purify everything in front of him!
Merdan's heart skipped a beat, and he almost reflexively screamed, "Bunker!"

He was well aware that Martial Arts Bear Master possessed the [Invisible Fist] characteristic, which allowed him to ignore the absolute defensive effects of protective moves like [Fortress].

But using it is better than not using it.

Moreover, the [bunker] also comes with an extremely insidious effect—

Any opponent who attacks it with a contact-type move while it is in use will be poisoned!
As we all know, the best way for the enemy to defeat the spirit is never to defeat them head-on, but to use the status of being poisoned or extremely poisoned, combined with powerful recovery abilities, to slowly drag the opponent into a quagmire of slow death.

Shila-

Golden electric snakes violently tore at the tightly closed shell of the supervillain's fortress, bursting out blinding sparks.

The [Invisible Fist] ability worked as expected; the energy of the lightning penetrated the bunker's absolute defenses and struck Supervillain's body squarely.

"Well!"

Supervillain let out a suppressed groan of pain, and a clear charred mark appeared on the part of its shell that had been hit.

As he looked at the charred marks, Mordan's eyelids twitched. He was slightly taken aback by the damage caused by the Lightning Fist, but at the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The damage was indeed high, but still within an acceptable range!

He made a quick assessment.

As long as it doesn't kill in one blow, with Supervillain's [Regeneration] ability to recover from setbacks, and its amazing sustain abilities like [Self-Regeneration] and [Pain Sharing], it might be possible to slowly maneuver and wear down this terrifying monster by using poison!
Upon realizing this, he immediately changed his approach, shifting from pure defense to a strategy that included some counter-attacks to weaken the opponent's momentum.

"Supervillain, acid bomb!"

This was not a powerful, all-out attack.

[Acid Bomb] is a special attack move, and its power is not outstanding. But what makes it truly terrifying is its additional effect—greatly reducing the opponent's special defense!

This is a form of status weakening that sets the stage for a possible special damage dealer later on.

The reason why Modan chose this move is also very practical: it's fast enough!

Supervillain only needs to quickly extend its two tentacle-like organs from the gaps in its frontal defenses, open them for less than half a second, and spew out acid.

This is the entire brief period during which the Supervillain's true form is exposed in its defensive state, safe enough that Xia Chi will not be able to seize the opportunity to severely damage it.

laugh--

A stream of purplish-black acid with a pungent odor shot out rapidly from the cracks in the supervillain's shell, hitting the martial arts bear master who was standing right next to it.

"Lightning Fist!"

Xia Chi's pursuit arrived almost simultaneously.

A dazzling flash of lightning erupted once more.

However, the supervillain's exposure time was far too brief, like a fleeting glimpse. Before the electric fist could strike, its sturdy outer shell had already swiftly and tightly closed.
Most of the power of [Lightning Fist] was once again blocked by that solid barrier.

Even so, the dissipated lightning energy still penetrated the outer tentacles, causing the supervillain's internal body to feel a numbing and stinging sensation.

Merdan's heart tightened.

At this rate, even with a sturdy outer shell as a barrier, it's only a matter of time before the supervillain is used as a punching bag and shaken to death.

We can no longer afford to be passively attacked; we must recover immediately!
"Supervillain, since..."

Before the command "self-regeneration" could be fully uttered, Merdan's eyes suddenly narrowed.

However, after unleashing his Lightning Fist, the martial arts master Xiong in the arena did not immediately follow up with another fierce attack as before, but instead made a move that was completely different from before.

It took a slight step back, retracting its left fist, while a cold, eerie, and malevolent deep purple energy began to swirl around its right fist, carrying an unsettling and malicious aura.

This starting stance is [provocative]!

Xia Chi predicted that Supervillain would inevitably choose to use [Self-Regeneration] to recover after being subjected to pressure.

He intends to use [Taunt] to block Supervillain's transformation moves, completely cutting off its chance of sustaining its attacks!

A strong sense of foreboding welled up in Merdan's heart.

We absolutely cannot allow it to be blocked!

Once it loses its ability to regenerate, Supervillain is truly just a fish to be slaughtered!
In a flash, Murdan demonstrated his rich experience and decisiveness as a veteran trainer.

He swallowed back the instruction he was about to give, and in an instant made a bold countermeasure.

He wants to strike first!

"Supervillain, you're provoking me!"

Treat others in their own way.

Before Martial Arts Master Xiong can unleash his [Provocation], let me hit you with mine first!
As long as the Martial Arts Bear Master enters a "provocative" state, it will be unable to use variation moves for a period of time, which will also buy it a valuable breathing space.

Supervillain understood immediately, and the gap on the front of its tightly closed shell suddenly opened.

Two purple tentacles quickly extended, and a wave of energy containing chaos and malice shot towards the Martial Arts Bear Master, about to hit him!
however.

In that brief moment, less than a second, Superbad Star had to open its shell and expose its true form in order to perform [Taunt].

Master Xiong's right fist, which had been poised for a long time, moved!
But what was gathered on the fist was not some provocative energy at all.

Instead, it is as deep as an abyss, an extreme evil energy that seems capable of devouring all light!
The deep purple light surged instantly, transforming into a destructive energy pillar condensed to its extreme. It carried the unparalleled power of the Martial Arts Bear Master and slammed into the defensive gaps of the Supervillain, which had been wide open due to the release of its attack.

It immediately struck its vulnerable interior!
Dark Nether Strike!

This is not some kind of provocation intended to cause interference; this is the ultimate evil-type finishing move that Martial Arts Bear Master has been secretly planning for a long time!

Xia Chi had already calculated that under pressure, Mo Dan would inevitably try to retaliate [by provoking], and this was precisely the trap he had carefully prepared for him, a trap that would kill him in one blow!
boom--

The malevolent energy erupted violently within the unprotected interior of the supervillain, like igniting explosives in a sealed jar.

That sturdy outer shell is no longer a protective barrier, but has instead become a cage that imprisons energy and intensifies the damage!
Supervillain's yellow pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinpoints due to extreme pain, and he couldn't even let out a scream.

Its fortress-like body convulsed violently, and the metallic luster on its shell receded rapidly like a tide, leaving it dull and lifeless.

Then, under the shocked gazes of everyone, Supervillain's body, having lost all its strength, tilted to the side and backward.

It finally crashed into the water, splashing up a huge spray, and slowly sank, clearly having completely lost its ability to fight!
