Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

Although he was deeply shaken, he did not show much change on the surface. He used a Poké Ball to recall Dragapult and the two symbiotic Dragapult Messians. After thinking for a moment, he threw out a second Poké Ball.

"It's your turn to make your appearance, Aegislash!"

A burst of light erupted, and the sword-like arms held a shield. Its body was a sharp metal greatsword, with a cold, purple, one-eyed sword in the hilt. The shield-and-sword monster emitted a clanging sword sound!

The level remains at the mid-stage of the champion tier.

Leon's main team members are almost all at this level. His foundation as the strongest champion is more evident the more Pokémon he appears in the game.

Sending out the Shielded Sword Monster was also a well-thought-out decision by Dan Emperor.

Aside from Charizard, which is a must-have in the battle, Aegislash is the most suitable Pokémon to perform well in the current situation and even counter Diancie, who will appear later in the battle.

Unlike other Pokémon players who rely on battle systems to improve their Pokémon's strength, Leon only uses the Dynamax system and his main Pokémon don't use any other battle systems, making him almost no different from Iris.

The only difference is that every Pokémon Leon has is of exceptional quality, almost all of them capable of going toe-to-toe with the ace Pokémon of various players.

Unlike Diantha, Gardevoir's strength is significantly lower than that of the other main fighters.

The main force of Dan Emperor is at least close to Charizard in terms of energy level, but their combat experience, personal foundation, and other aspects are less certain.

Pure trainers like Dan are indeed extremely rare. Su Hao, who originally planned to reward himself with a game and let the Green Warrior Eagle try to break through to the Champion level with this pressure, changed his mind.

He wouldn't hold back either, and with the utmost respect, he would fight Dan Di with all his might.

To everyone's astonishment, Su Hao raised his hand, and the luxurious ball immediately burst forth with light.

"Come back, Dorombalto!"

This left many people who thought Su Hao would seize the opportunity to rise to the top completely dumbfounded.

The enhancement from the Three-Stage Dragon Dance was lost just like that!?

Without hesitation, Su Hao took out the Youyou Ball and threw it forward.

"It's your turn to step in, Evil Creeper!"

The Friend Ball opened with a "bang," and the Evil Phantom, who hadn't yet put on its mask, landed nimbly, roaring with high fighting spirit at the Shield Sword Monster, Dan Emperor, and even the entire audience of the Palace Gate Arena.

"Garpa-pon—!!"

------------

Chapter 1180 Who are you playing the shield with?!

"A cursed beast..."

Dan Di narrowed his eyes, and relevant information immediately came to mind.

It was still the scene of the Hundred-Hour Tournament. This Evil Pine had appeared before and fought against Shota's Super Lizard King, who was at the Super Ball level.

With its extremely agile speed, potential attribute-altering abilities, unseen immense strength, and the rare "Typicalization," it achieved victory.

only.

The only good news is that although the Evil Creeper has improved its strength, it is still quite different from the Shielded Sword Monster.

Even if the opponent is another Pokémon that can fight at a higher level, Aegislash should be able to suppress it without any problem.

Dan Emperor temporarily abandoned his idea of ​​replacing Charizard to mitigate the damage and said in a deep voice, "Swords Dance—!"

The Shield-wielding Sword Monster held its shield, and the sword spun rapidly, a thin layer of red light illuminating it.

On Su Hao's side, as soon as the Evil Phantom landed, it unleashed its speed to shorten the distance between itself and the Shielded Sword Monster.

At the same time, he shouted, "Let's do it too, sword dance—"

The waveguide then connected with the Evil Spirit, ensuring that the Evil Spirit could unleash its sword dance moves without slowing down its running speed.

However, unlike the Sword Dance of the Shielded Sword Monster, the Sword Dance of the Evil Spirit is the secret technique of the Divine Continent Alliance – the Everlasting Sword Dance.

In an instant, a strong red light shone from Egui Peng's body.

The power hidden within its petite body has increased several times over!

"Thorn vine club—!"

When the Evil Creeper and the Shielded Swordsman were only a few steps apart, Su Hao took the initiative to sound the horn of attack.

"Bang—!"

The Egui Peng roared again, and no one knew how it did it. It reached into its raincoat and pulled out a fiery red demon mask with angry eyes, which it then put on its face.

Even Egui's raincoat was stained with the fiery red of maple leaves.

At the same time, a bright flame blazed from its right hand.

A massive mace, entwined with a fire dragon, hurtled towards the Shielded Sword Monster with unstoppable momentum.

Upon discovering the ferocious power of Egui Peng's attack, Dan Di exclaimed without hesitation, "King's Shield!"

The Shield-Sword Monster emitted a powerful metallic sound as it held its round shield upright in front of it, its hands behind its back, and its sharp sword inserted itself effortlessly into the scabbard on the back of the shield.

Form - Switch!

Aegislash Shield Form!

Aegislash's ability "Battle Switch" allows it to seamlessly switch between its offensive sword form and defensive shield form, making it a flawless all-rounder!

The moment the form change is completed, a honeycomb-shaped golden light shield unfolds around the Aegislash's round shield, transforming into an impregnable defense.

next second.

The thorny vine club of the Evil Spirit suddenly fell, whipping up a fire tornado that tore the earth apart, and slammed into the King's Shield!

Bang-!

A wave of heat rippled outwards, and the King's Shield suddenly sank. Centered on the area where the Thorn Vine Staff made contact with the King's Shield, the shield was instantly covered with a dense spiderweb.

but--!

The King's Shield withstood the attack!

Most of the impact was absorbed by the King's Shield. Then, the rebounding force began to accumulate, and a barely perceptible light flowed into the body of the Evil Spirit, causing it to faintly shimmer with a blue light.

Additional effects of the King's Shield!

When you defend against an attack, reduce the attack power of the opponent you come into contact with!

Su Hao shouted, "Back off!"

"Boni?"

Upon hearing Su Hao's command, E Guipeng, who was keenly aware that his strength was beginning to weaken, frowned, dropped the thorny vine club without hesitation, and retreated.

The thorny vines formed from energy can be condensed at any time, and a decrease in power will bring a huge disadvantage in this battle, which is essentially still a fight between the weak and the strong.

Even though the Evil Spirit is exceptionally gifted, aside from its authority, its entire configuration as a legendary elf cannot be taken lightly.

After all, there are many examples throughout history of ordinary Pokémon defeating legendary Pokémon!

"Did you notice?"

Dan Di felt a little regretful, but also felt it was only natural.

As one of the eight strongest people in the world, Su Hao must be aware of the effects of the King's Shield.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Evil Phantom retreated, with a "whoosh," the Shield Sword Monster drew its body out, just like a sword being unsheathed.

Without hesitation, Emperor Dan pursued, shouting, "Holy Sword!"

The sword instantly burst into golden flames, and the Shield-Sword Monster, with the blade facing upwards, flew out like lightning and slashed fiercely down at the Evil Spirit!

Without Su Hao's command, Egui Peng once again conjured a thorny vine staff, using the thorny vine staff wrapped around the fire dragon to block the holy sword that suddenly slashed down.

But the immense force transmitted from the point where the stick and the sword made contact still caused Egui Peng's expression to change.

The current Aegislash is stronger than itself in its Continuous Sword Dance state!

Apart from the Blazing Roaring Tiger that once self-destructed, the Evil Creeper rarely suffers setbacks in terms of strength, but it will no longer be stunned.

During Zangmarante's training, Egui Peng's combat awareness has already evolved!

Without hesitation, it removed its mask and stood in front of itself.

By deliberately allowing the thorny vines to deflect some of the Holy Sword's force, Egui Peng focused on two things at once, channeling energy into the Fire Stove Mask.

Spike defense!

pound--!

The Shielded Swordsman's holy sword slammed into the spiked defenses.

On the stove mask, emerald green spikes protruded, blocking the holy sword while exerting a reaction force. Under the sudden surge of green light, the purple pupil of the shield-and-sword monster shrank, and it was directly blasted away by the strong reaction force, rolling several times on the ground, looking extremely disheveled.

"this--"

Dan Di's pupils suddenly contracted.

He had heard of spiked defense before. Wasn't it just "absolute defense" that was similar to the Guardian and King's Shield, with only minor differences in details?

But this so-called absolute defense is only based on the premise of being of the same level.

Just as Rattata's Protect couldn't stop Eternatus's Max Cannon, in theory, even with some of its power depleted, Aegislash's Holy Sword shouldn't have been blocked by Dire Pyrenees's Spikes Defense!

This spiked defense is not working!

The audience erupted in uproar.

What did they see?

The Aegislash's King's Shield was almost shattered by the Evil Phantom, but its Holy Sword was perfectly blocked by the Evil Phantom's spiked defense!

Who exactly is the Aegislash?!

"—!"

The Shielded Sword Monster barely managed to float to the surface, its once gleaming body now covered in dust, looking quite disheveled.

After all, Aegislash's two forms are extremely different. The shield form is good at defense, while the sword form abandons defense and becomes an extreme offensive fighter, like a dancer dancing on the tip of a blade.

I was suddenly hit in the form of a sword, and it hurt a lot.

Seeing the Aegislash stand up, Dan shouted again, "Shadow Ball!"

Aegislash's Special Attack is just as top-tier as its Physical Attack, making it effective at both close and long range, and its fighting style is unpredictable.
