Who needs a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

In a proper Pokémon battle, either the use of healing items would be prohibited in battle, or there would be a limit on the number of items that could be used.

But this is not a proper duel at all, so there are no restrictions. The only goal is to beat the opponent until they can't get up. The core idea is just one sentence: as long as you don't kill them... beat them to death!

Masked Cat was also very annoyed at the moment. With her speed, she could barely dodge all the attacks if she tried her best to dodge.

But it's obvious that this can't go on. As I said before, no matter what, you can't win by just standing there and taking a beating without fighting back.

However, such a powerful move as Flamethrower consumes a lot of stamina, and the opponent probably can't use it continuously. But when she looked up, she saw Fire Goose slowly chewing bubble gum while taking out a full recovery medicine from her bag and spraying it on Coalossal.

"Oh shit!"

Although Luo Wei was frantically healing Ralts, seeing that the opponent was also using drugs made his blood pressure spike instantly.

If this continues, won't it become a situation where one side has more medicine?

Putting aside the fact that Rowe didn't bring many medicines with him when he went to the first gym, since he didn't have much money on hand, even if he did win the medicine battle against the opponent, Rowe didn't know if Masked Meow could withstand the fierce attack before running out of medicine.

If there were a way to get Masked Cat to the other person...

Luo Wei thought of the Z-Move he had just mastered. If he used the power of the Z-Move, he should be able to defeat Torkoal.

However, in the previous battle against Nosegate, it was only after breaking down the opponent's defense that a single blow could be delivered. In this current state, if the opponent's offensive is not broken down first, it is uncertain whether the Z-Move can defeat the enemy in one strike.

However, Z-Moves cannot be used continuously in a short period of time. If one strike misses, then there is really no trump card to defeat the enemy.

To maximize the power of this trump card, we must carefully consider how to do so; hasty actions will only waste an important opportunity.

"?"

Rowe felt a thought emanating from Ralts in his arms; it was undoubtedly Ralts responding after understanding Rowe's inner turmoil.

"Ralts, can you... do it?"

Rowe quickly understood Ralts's meaning through telepathy, but he was still somewhat worried. However, Ralts raised her little head and waved her little hand firmly.

"Okay, please!"

Chapter 51 Kirlian

"Okay, please!"

Pokémon trust their trainers, so Rowe, as a trainer, naturally trusts his Pokémon as well.

Ralts read Rowe's thoughts and decided to use her abilities to help him solve his current difficulties. Although Ralts's proposed solution seemed unlikely to succeed, Rowe chose to trust her without hesitation.

"Masked Cat!"

At Rowe's call, Masked Cat, who was trying to break through the fire pillars for the third time, was forced back by the raging flames. Just as he was feeling frustrated, he heard Rowe's call.

She turned her head slightly and saw the gesture that Luo Wei had made. After six years of getting along, Masked Cat knew Luo Wei's every move. Seeing Luo Wei's gesture, she immediately understood what he meant.

Years of tacit understanding allowed her to cooperate with Rowe and Ralts' tactics without the slightest hesitation. Meanwhile, Ralts raised her hands, her entire body shimmering with crimson-purple light patterns.

Her plan was actually quite simple: use telekinesis to suppress Coalossal, and then use teleportation to send Meowth there.

If you don't suppress the Coalossal and just teleport there, it's like sending Masked Meow directly into the opponent's ultimate attack. So, you must suppress the opponent first before you can teleport.

However, given Ralts' current psychic power, let alone suppressing all the fire pillars, she definitely couldn't do it. Just suppressing Torkoal's main body and giving Meowth an opportunity to attack would be incredibly difficult.

Using telekinesis to suppress an opponent and prevent them from using their moves is essentially like forcibly pushing back a spring that's about to explode. The move itself isn't destroyed; it's just suppressed by telekinesis, like adding a plug to it.

Therefore, once the suppressed psychic power is relaxed, it's like a compressed spring rebounding. The resulting fire would be incredibly fierce. If Masked Meow were to be hit by a powerful fire breath under these circumstances, he would most likely be instantly killed.

So the question becomes how long Ralts can suppress its opponent, and whether it can hold out until Masked Meow unleashes a move.

At this moment, however, this issue was clearly not an issue at all. Whether to believe or not was a matter that did not need to be considered. When Ralts proposed this tactic, Rowe immediately agreed.

"Do it!"

As Luo Wei raised his hand and issued the command, all the crimson-purple light patterns gathered around Ralts immediately erupted, transforming into a fierce psychic tide that swept outwards.

The coal turtle continued to spew out magma, but at that moment it suddenly felt a strong pressure, as if an invisible hand had descended from the sky and pressed it down.

At that moment, the pillars of fire and lava churning around it actually calmed down for a brief instant.

At the same moment, Instant Transmission was activated... Masked Meow instantly appeared in front of Torkoal.

Less than three seconds have passed so far...

Under normal circumstances, this would only take the time it takes to drink a sip of water...

At this moment, Ralts' raised little hand seemed to bear an immense burden, and it began to tremble uncontrollably. At the same time, Torkoal, which had been suppressed on the ground, was also trying to get up again.

"You suppressed my Torkoal with your psychic powers?"

Fire Goose immediately reacted, but she quickly noticed that the purple light patterns shining on the Coal Turtle's body were gradually fading, and immediately shook her head.

"However, it seems it won't last even a few seconds~"

really……

...With Ralts as it is now, suppressing the opponent for more than five seconds is probably already its limit.

Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Wei immediately reached out and took out the Z Crystal, gripped it tightly, and immediately assumed a fighting stance.

"on!"

However, Meowth was already prepared, and Ralts was nearing its limit, just waiting for Rowe to finish it off with a Z-Move. But the moment Rowe got into position, nothing happened...

"..."

Oh, shit!

Lowe immediately realized that when he used the Z-Move last time, he subconsciously activated the power of the Z-Crystal. However, when he tried to activate this power again, he found that he couldn't get it right no matter what he did.

(Oops, am I too nervous?)

Luo Wei's palms were sweating profusely. He tried to tell himself that he absolutely could not mess up at this moment. Masked Meow and Ralts were waiting for him to make a move. How could he let them down here?

As he forced himself to calm down, Luo Wei finally found the feeling he had back then, and the Z-Crystal in his hand began to glow...

"it is good!"

However, even this delay of less than a few seconds had brought Ralts's Nen power to its limit.

To be honest, being able to suppress the opponent for more than ten seconds is already considered an exceptional performance. But now, it looks like the psychic power is about to give way, and Masked Meow also feels that the ground beneath his feet is constantly and violently undulating, clearly indicating that the suppressed magma is about to rebound and erupt.

Oh no, it was just a second or two short...

Just when it seemed the whole plan was about to collapse, Ralts, whose hands were trembling, suddenly stopped trembling and raised her hands with a fierce force.

As she made this move, Ralts was enveloped in a surging white light, and under this light, Ralts' body rapidly changed.

"what?"

Luo Wei and Huo Yan were certainly familiar with this, but the question was, why did they evolve at this time?

However, thinking about it carefully, Ralts also participated in the battle against Dujuan, which means she also received experience points. Dujuan's Nosepass is her ace, and the experience points from the victory were definitely substantial. Even if she only received half, it would still be a considerable number.

Not to mention that Ralts itself had its share of conflicts with wild Pokémon before it met Loewolf.

Perhaps she was already close to evolving, and after training with Luo Wei for this period of time, plus Du Juan's experience bonus, she finally took that final step.

Ralts evolves...

...Kirullian~

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

If Ralts's original form is undoubtedly that of a loli, then its evolved form Kirlia... is even closer to a twin-tailed girl in a ballet outfit.

Furthermore, with her long bangs that had been covering her eyes swept back, revealing her eyes, Ralts's shy demeanor lessened considerably, making her look more like an energetic girl...

Kirlia's psychic power surged dramatically upon successful evolution, forcefully pushing Torkoal, which was about to break free, back down once more.

Of course, it's estimated that it will only last a few more seconds this time at most, but in this situation, that's enough...

A golden aura erupted from Luo Wei's entire body, and he simply raised his hand and waved...

“…Take it!”

Chapter Fifty-Two: See You Next Time

"Take the move!!!"

With a roar from Rowe, a surge of golden light erupted from his body, transforming into an aura like burning flames. The power from another world was once again activated by the "key" and transmitted to Masked Cat through Rowe's body.

The so-called Z-Moves are special moves that use this power to enhance a Pokémon's moves, making them more powerful.

Moreover, under certain conditions, this attack can even penetrate the effects of protection and shields.

Normally, Z-Moves are type-bound to Z-Crystals. In other words, you can only use a Z-Move if you have a Z-Crystal with the corresponding type.

However, that was the version obtained after passing the test of the Totem Pokémon, whose Z-Power came from the Alola Four Legendary Pokémon, whose power was given by the Sun and Moon Gods.

Loewy's Z-Power didn't come from the Totem Pokémon or the Four Island Legends; he obtained it from a more fundamental source.

Therefore, it seems that his Z-Moves are not subject to any fixed type restrictions. As long as he has a Z-Crystal, he can transform any move of his Pokémon into a Z-Move.

Last time, Masked Meow used a Grass-type Z-Move, but this time, what gathered on Masked Meow's fist was a surging black light!

With a powerful upward punch, this Dark-type Z-Move, enhanced from the "Knock Off" move, landed directly on Torkoal.

So, if the original move is Knock Off, why did the enhanced Z-Move turn into a Skyward Punch?

Of course, the current situation didn't give Luo Wei much time to think. This soaring punch directly caused two situations.

In the first situation, the Coal Turtle's sturdy body was actually sent flying into the air by this punch, soaring uncontrollably into the sky.

In the second situation, Kirlia's psychic power was also nearing its limit, and she could no longer suppress Torkoal's power. The moment her psychic power was released, the suppressed magma and firepower erupted from Torkoal's body.

The second situation has a chain reaction: the suppressed power should have been released like a spring. If Torkoal could have channeled and released it as before, it could have unleashed the full force of this enhanced attack on Meowth.

However, because Torkoal just took a Z-Move, the huge impact passed through its body, leaving it with no extra energy to control the raging energy within.

The Coal Turtle's body is like a small volcano. If it can control it, this violent power can become its weapon. However, if it loses control, this unparalleled violent energy can also become a double-edged sword that harms itself.

That's the situation right now!
