Elf Trader: My trump card is the Light/Dark Mantis.

The ability to create a disguise—this characteristic is incredibly powerful!

What does it mean to unconditionally block an attack?

To put it simply, the reason why speed is such an important stat in the Pokémon world is because Pokémon have extremely high burst damage!

Even Pokémon of similar strength can instantly defeat their opponents when there is multiple type advantages or multiple enhancements!

Therefore, Pokémon that lack speed, which means they have no chance to attack, will be at a great disadvantage in battle!

In fact, they must rely on the space of deception to fully unleash their power!

Of course, this only applies to battles between Pokémon of the same skill level.

The ability to use disguise allows a spirit to strike first and inflict damage on the enemy, regardless of its speed!

That alone makes it incredibly useful!

Moreover, during a battle, if you can guess that the opponent's Pokémon is about to unleash a powerful move.

You can also switch in a Pokémon with the Disguise ability to block a fatal blow!

In short, just having this characteristic alone proves that the mysterious grass-type spirit named Dingding in Rika's possession belongs to the...

Its potential is immeasurable!

It's an incredibly powerful Pokémon!

"What an amazing elf..."

"This Pokémon's base stats look pretty good; it's very strong!"

"We must find out where this elf named Dingding came from as soon as possible!"

Including Silver, all the elite trainers near the battlefield were shocked by the power and surprise brought by this mysterious Pokémon!

Previously, they had speculated that this elf named Dingding must have had a special ability to withstand the freezing wind...

The result was that it was actually a characteristic of the painted skin!

Many people have already started trying to find ways and pull strings to get their hands on this grass-type Pokémon that Rika has!

Subsequently, some of these trainers, driven by a desire for entertainment, uploaded the videos of the matches they filmed to the internet.

A mysterious Grass-type Pokémon with the ability to disguise itself has appeared!

Before long, the title attracted a large number of viewers.

The number of views on the video is soaring!

……

Meanwhile, in the Celadon City Gym, Rika was comforting Silver.

"Your abilities are actually quite good."

"More than enough to get the badge."

"However, this time I just want to test the strength of my newly acquired Grass-type Pokémon..."

"This is a bit of an extra challenge for you."

"If you're willing to try again, I'll use the normal team..."

This dojo master usually seems a bit absent-minded, but now, facing Gin, he does indeed act like an elder, earnestly giving him advice.

"No need."

Xiao Yin simply shook his head; in his view, a loss was a loss.

"I will work hard to train my partner, and then defeat you head-on."

Goodbye, Miss Rika.

Then, he left without looking back.

I'm going to give my Weavile a special training session.

After watching the battle end, Lijia quickly ran to Dingding's side.

Dingding pounced on her and snuggled into Lijia's arms.

She was slightly excited.

Although I spent a lot of money to buy the bean sprouts and cactus from that shady shop owner, Mr. Jiang...

But now it seems I didn't lose out at all!

These two elves are indeed rare, and they are certainly powerful enough!

……

At this time, online discussions about Dingding had just begun.

On the video website attached to the official Pokémon discussion section of the League.

Soon, the video of Rika and Gin's previous battle was pushed into the top ten in terms of views.

The discovery of a new Pokémon usually generates a huge buzz, let alone Dingding, which has such a powerful ability as Disguise.

At this moment, in the Sinnoh region, in Bakudai City.

Cai Zhong is holding a shuttlecock and watching a video on her phone!

Her hands trembled with excitement.

Wow! What an amazing Grass-type Pokémon!

"And, it's so amazing!"

"How did Rika get her...?"

"No, I have to go to Kanto!!"

……

Sanyo City, Unova Region.

Tian Tong, dressed as a waiter, held a plate and seemed lost in thought.

"A Grass-type Pokémon with the Disguise ability."

"If only I could have one..."

"I think I'm qualified to be the owner of this museum."

……

In the Alola region, Mao booked a flight to Kanto...

In the Galer region, Alo summoned a giant katana dragon, which took to the skies...

……

Despite this, many powerful Pokémon masters in the Pokémon world who specialize in Grass-type Pokémon have developed a great interest in Dingding, which possesses the Disguise ability.

However, Rika herself, the one who started it all, was completely unaware of it.

The reason is simple: she's busy!

In Celadon City, there is naturally a circle of trainers. Upon hearing that Rika had obtained an unknown Grass-type Pokémon, many people went to join in the excitement.

Therefore, Lijia's business is extremely busy!

Challengers are flocking in! And they specifically want to see the new Grass-type Pokémon.

Interestingly, Rika only used Ding Ding and cacti to fight.

But they won almost all of their victories!

Because those challengers were using ordinary-level Pokémon.

In a 2v2 battle, the two Pokémon that Jiangu sold her are both very strong!

Needless to say, Dingding's disguise makes her incredibly difficult to deal with, as she can ignore an opponent's attack.

However, cacti, which also have chlorophyll properties, are quite difficult to deal with.

In reality, this kind of spirit doesn't need a completely sunny day; as long as it can absorb a certain amount of sunlight, it will have an acceleration effect.

Therefore, even if a common Pokémon has a type advantage, it may not be able to defeat a cactus...

The final result was that Rika won one after another!

Chapter 27: Professor Oak's Excitement

Zhenxin Town, Damu Research Institute.

Professor Oak hummed a senryu while preparing Pokémon food.

He then went to his backyard and dumped several sacks of food onto a tray.

Then, Professor Oak called out.

"dinner time!"

Instantly, countless elves swarmed in!

Professor Oak looked at the Beedrill in front of him, Nidoking to his side, and Tauros and Tauros in their original positions...
