Pokémon from Galar

"It's useless, Shadowball."

Although Mary didn't really expect to successfully hypnotize her, the fact that the Coral Spirit seemed almost unaffected left Mary and Silky feeling a bit helpless; the interference effect was far too weak.

"Continue, the power of the moon!"

Mary and Sis remained calm, keeping an eye on their opponents' movements. With their arms outstretched, fairy-type energy burst forth, and a pale pink full moon seemed to appear in the sky above the entire arena.

"—"

Coral was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that the moon was just an illusion, not the moon she usually saw.

Onio, familiar with the habits of the Demon Coral, didn't pay any attention and simply gave the next command:

"The rocks form a barrier, blocking the opponent's attack."

With some time remaining before the taunt's effect wore off, Onio, who could only use offensive special moves, could only continue his counterattack.

Silk-chan's attack was still faster than Coral's, and this time it was much faster. A shimmering pink energy ball erupted from above, rushing towards Coral.

This is also why Onio didn't choose other special moves. If he used his own type move, it would almost always explode around Coral himself, and he might even be affected by his own energy wave.

Even so, the Demon Coral couldn't keep up with Siu-chan's moon power. It only managed to create a small stone ridge in front of it before the dazzling energy ball arrived in front of the Demon Coral. Then, the moment it touched the stone ridge, the stable energy ball quickly unleashed its power.

Boom! Boom!

Shattered stone fragments flew everywhere, and the Demon Coral, who was almost at the center of the blast, was unsurprisingly injured and blown away.

But at the same time, the effect of the provocation also disappeared.

"Immobilization spell!"

"Silkie's telekinesis! Don't dodge!"

Having seen the "Immobilization Technique" before while inside the ball, Sis-chan suppressed her almost irresistible urge to teleport and stood still, unleashing her most familiar psychic power, hurling it towards the direction of the Demon Coral.

The unyielding Coral Spirit was once again sent flying, but Onio seemed completely unconcerned.

"Begin, pray for rain!"

"—!"

Mary frowned slightly. What was this rainmaking spell for? ...The Demon Coral wasn't a water-type, and I-chan wasn't a fire or grass-type either.

"Magic Flash, continue!"

"Sha—! (Understood!)"

Sijiang vaguely sensed something was wrong, but unfortunately, due to the immobilization spell, she couldn't launch her attack before her opponent. The dark clouds above the field began to gather rapidly, and a torrential downpour began.

A dazzling beam of light pierced through the rain and rushed toward the Magic Coral, but this time something unexpected happened. The Magic Coral's floating motion suddenly veered off course, and the magical flash failed to hit its target head-on. It only shattered a number of coral branches and did not cause enough damage.

Perhaps this is some kind of strange combination technique.

Seeing that Onio had stopped giving further instructions, Mari quickly realized this.

"One more time, Magic Flash!"

Just then, a huge current of water suddenly appeared around the body of the Demon Coral, enveloping it. Marie and I-chan recognized this familiar phenomenon – it was a whirlpool.

Silk-chan's Magic Flash was launched once again, this time with a slight adjustment to the launch direction, cutting in the direction that the Magic Coral was dodging, shattering the rain curtain and large waves, but still avoiding its vital points.

Just then, centered on the Demon Coral, the vortex suddenly erupted and expanded wildly. A massive torrent of water, seemingly appearing from nowhere, shot into the sky, stirring up a torrential downpour.

The surging tide, combined with the torrential rain, completely enveloped the area, isolating Mary from it.

Just as Mary's face darkened as she vaguely looked at Sis-chan through the water curtain and pondered the other party's purpose, a strange singing voice rang out!

"—"

"Well--"

Just hearing that mournful, curse-like singing voice made Mary feel a sinking feeling in her heart, and Sis, who was being directly targeted on the field, must have felt even worse.

This move is absolutely a song of destruction!

With the power of this demonic coral, unless Sis-chan can immediately acquire the strength of her brother's main force, she probably won't be able to withstand it.

Such a terrifying move, but the downside is that it cannot be interrupted. If it is interrupted, Sis-chan will not suffer any damage.

Mary looked at Sis-chan, who was enveloped in the water. That whirlpool probably contained some other water-type move, otherwise, even with the rain, it shouldn't have been that powerful.

Unable to make a judgment immediately, Mary gave up. During the duration of the Song of Destruction, the opponent's energy was stretched too thin, making it unlikely that they could use any other new special moves.

Facing the torrential rain and looking at the huge wave that spread across the entire battlefield and stretched into the air, it wasn't difficult for Sis to break through. Even if she was interfered with by the water energy, she could still return to Mary's side by teleporting.

However, it's easy to get out and change people, but it's troublesome to get back in.

The Demon Coral could easily maintain this vortex and reignite the Song of Destruction. Does Mary just keep changing actresses?

Even if they shamelessly continue this stalemate, as long as Onio unleashes this Tide Whirl and its ultimate move, he can still inflict considerable damage on Pokémon other than Eevee.

Coral's excellent special attack ability makes it possible to do this.

Good heavens... Could this Corsola be Onio's main Pokémon? Such terrifying water currents aren't something an ordinary Pokémon can create. Isn't this Corsola a Ghost-type Pokémon?

"Silkie! Watch your attack timing, don't fall here!"

"Sha—! (I know!)"

The Z-Bracelet allows Sisi and Marie to communicate without hindrance, but this blocked state still annoys Sisi. What annoys her even more is the Song of Destruction. She even wants to unleash her Overlord Aura to break through the opponent's defense.

"Find the opportunity to harness the power of the moon!"

'First, perform two meditations'

The hidden part of the command is transmitted through mental connection. This move can only be used in conjunction with Sis or Ichigo. Others do not have the mental talent to transmit such detailed information.

"sand--!"

Si-chan stood in the water curtain and took a deep breath. She didn't want to back down like this. If I-chan could eliminate one opponent, she had to do the same.

Pokémon Introduction

Night Demon:

The Night Demon has the ability to receive radio waves from the spirit world, and can also store lost souls in its mouth-like belly and bring them to the spirit world.

Dusknoir possesses the abilities commonly found in Ghost-type Pokémon, as well as the immense power to unleash punching-like moves.

Magic Coral:

Image: "Sun Coral - Galar", Location: "Images/1600009508-100143709-105989088.jpg"

After evolution, only the bottom part of the body of the Sun Coral remains. A translucent spirit emerges from the shell, and the core wrapped by the spirit is the head of the Demon Coral.

Because it continuously accumulates energy absorbed from other creatures, its spiritual power overflows from its shell, eventually turning the Demon Coral into a being with only a soul. Perhaps because it is happy that its body has become lighter, it is often seen floating around.

The Demon Coral has a habit of gathering on the night of the full moon and throwing severed coral branches into the air. The purpose of this action is debated; some say it's to release absorbed energy, others say it's to communicate with its companions, but this remains unconfirmed. Nevertheless, the sight is undeniably dreamlike and beautiful.

Pumpkin Monster:

Image: "Pumpkin Monster", Location: "Images/1600009527-100143709-105989088.jpg"

Compared to the Pumpkin Spirit, the Pumpkin Monster has red, hair-like objects on its head, a slender body, and comes in four different sizes.

The stems and leaves on the pumpkin spirit have changed, as if they have faded. The original leaf-like parts have elongated, looking like the hairstyle of the pumpkin monster. Like the pumpkin spirit, the face-like patterns on the pumpkin monster's belly are actually mimicry; the real face is located on top.

Pumpkin Monsters come in four sizes: small, normal, large, and extra-large. From left to right, their speed decreases, but their HP and attack power increase.

P.S.: It's been a while since I posted any Pokémon pictures. After being reminded by a fellow user, I thought it would be better to post them like this.

Chapter 224 Silkie's Outburst

Siji stood in the arena, arms outstretched, head bowed slightly, and began to meditate while simultaneously drawing upon her own energy. Her increasingly calm mind made Siji realize that even after three meditations, the power might still not be enough to guarantee interrupting her opponent's Song of Destruction in one go.

The reason Marie only allowed Sue to meditate twice was because she deliberately compressed the expected time. The execution of the "Death Song" skill depends on the Pokémon's strength and proficiency.

Some take more than half a minute, while others have the fastest known record, compressing the casting time of the Song of Annihilation to less than five seconds.

As for the Demon Coral in front of us, considering Onio's level and this inexplicably powerful vortex, it shouldn't take long to defeat it.

Even with her incredibly fast meditation, Sisi can't complete it instantly. Considering the use of lunar power and the time needed to escape after a failure, and taking into account the margin for error, she can only meditate twice.

But Sis-chan didn't want to fail like this...

'Sand—(Let me try, three meditations!)'

Sis's thoughts were accurately transmitted to Mary's mind, and at this moment Sis had finished one meditation and immediately began the second one.

Should we give it a try? Or stick with the safer approach?

Mary's mind started working rapidly. There was too little time, and she couldn't possibly compare the pros and cons and probabilities immediately. Even if Dan Di were in Mary's position, he probably couldn't rationally calculate to that extent.

'Okay—Go for it! Blow up that coral!'

So Marie chose to believe in her Pokémon, thinking that Sue's brain was definitely working better than hers now. This was the only problem Marie realized, and Sue needed support from Marie, the kind that came from the heart.

Sijiang smiled slightly, and the second meditation ended again. She raised her eyes slightly and immediately began the third meditation. At the same time, the surging energy became even more violent!

The power boost from the three meditations had increased Sisi's energy by more than one level. Her increasingly calm mind remained as still as water as she maintained her meditative state while controlling the unruly energy to break through the dark clouds in the sky and summon the exceptionally bright full moon!

The dual-track operation slightly lengthened the time.

Then Mary saw the full moon, bigger and brighter than before, break through the clouds and tear through the rain that had engulfed the earth, appearing on the field.

Even the rain lessened somewhat due to the almost uncontrollable, churning fairy energy.

Strands of energy fell rapidly with the moonlight and condensed in mid-air into an exceptionally dazzling ball of light. Even though Mary was standing outside the waves, she could clearly see the conspicuous ball of energy.

"Shh—! (Stop right there!)"

When the meditation ended, the moon was fully revealed. Sis-chan raised her hands and swung them down fiercely at the Demon Coral that was being tightly protected by the Tide Whirlpool on the other side!

The instant Mary sensed Silk's will, the ball of light transformed into a shooting star and fell in a flash, its light vanishing instantly, and then—

Boom boom boom—!!!

A massive explosion and a burst of light quickly filled the entire space. Mary instinctively closed her eyes and raised her hand to shield them, but even so, tears welled up in her eyes from the shock.

A wave several meters high suddenly erupted, as if it had collapsed due to an explosion, and crashed down on Mary like a tidal wave. The giant wristband automatically deployed an energy shield, but Mary was caught off guard and could not withstand the kinetic energy, and was directly swept away by the wave.

The towering waves and explosions, along with the roaring cheers from the sidelines, left Mary, who had tumbled out of the arena, momentarily dazed. What had happened in the center of the field? Had Sis-chan succeeded? If not, how could she retreat quickly?

With her previous plan echoing in her mind, Mary frantically stretched out her hands to try and stop herself, but she couldn't grip the wet ground at all. The protective shield blocked the energy impact and most of the kinetic energy, but the remaining impact still made Mary feel very uncomfortable.
