Pokémon from Galar

"Ice Fist!"

Following Mei Rong's command, the Damo baboon raised its two huge fists and started running towards Xiao Mo. Despite its seemingly clumsy appearance, it was surprisingly fast.

"Lightning, find an opportunity to counterattack!"

With the same speed, Xiao Mo's electric sacs burst forth with powerful current, and he boldly charged towards the direction of the Dharma Baboon!

Boom—! Boom—!

The chilling fists slammed heavily into the ground, the cold air corroding the floor tiles. The immense force created two craters and large cracks in the ground, but Xiao Mo's agile body weaved through the wind of the punches, narrowly avoiding the attack, and then crashed headfirst into the left leg of the Damo baboon!

The baboon swayed and knelt on the ground, only able to watch as Xiao Mo prepared to withdraw from its attack range.

"earthquake!"

Mei Rong's voice quickly gave the Dharma baboon a way to respond. Ignoring its current posture, it raised its arms high and slammed them heavily onto the ground.

Chapter 296 Fierce Battle with the Dharma Baboon

Earthquake is a very bad move for Pokémon that can't fly, especially Morpeko, which is weak to Ground. If you don't find a way to dodge it, getting hit by this move will almost certainly result in your elimination.

"The double hid from the sky!"

Xiao Mo's combat thinking is actually very strong, so Mary gave him a brief idea and left the rest to him to adapt to the situation.

"just--!"

Lightning erupted again, but this time, after a short running start, Mo leaped straight into the sky, activating his Stand and forming a physical entity beneath him.

boom--!

The recent speed improvement allowed Xiao Mo to complete everything that needed to be done under such urgent circumstances. After the Stand was successfully condensed, the earthquake broke out completely.

Centered on the Daruma baboon, half the area of ​​the ground was torn apart by the violent energy. Ground-type energy soared into the sky. With his Stand under his feet, Xiao Mo exerted his strength again. As the dazzling lightning rose once more, his Stand was also quickly swallowed up by the violent energy, as expected!

"Icicle strike!"

Mo leaped high into the air, dodging the earthquake, but also losing his prized mobility. In mid-air, with nowhere to take hold, even the acceleration from lightning made it difficult to make the right evasive maneuvers.

Despite failing to defeat her opponent in one strike, Mei Rong's voice showed no sign of panic, suggesting that she had already devised various countermeasures in her mind.

The Damo baboon remained standing still, wasting no time to move. It quickly condensed a thick ice pillar by clenching its hands, then swung it around with ease, using all its strength to smash it towards the spot where Xiao Mo had landed!

"Seed machine gun, spinning at high speed!"

Xiao Mo understood immediately, and the seed machine gun quickly fired at the open ground. This move wasn't very powerful, but the number of shots provided Xiao Mo with enough thrust!

Bang bang bang bang—!

Four shots were fired to the side in quick succession, causing Xiao Mo's body to shift sideways as she fell through the air. Then, she spun rapidly and her petite body successfully grazed the ice pillar, landing safely on the ground.

"Lightning-fast close-quarters combat, strike at point-blank range!"

Earthquakes were a bad tactic; we can't afford to retreat out of the attack range this time.

"earthquake!"

The baboon tried to repeat its previous combo, but Mary and Mo were not going to continue being passively attacked.

"Praise after you've been with them!"

"just--!"

A flash of lightning disappeared in an instant, and before the Bodhi baboon's heavy blow could land, it nimbly climbed onto the tall body!

boom--!

This time, the earthquake did not affect Mo in the slightest. Moreover, taking advantage of the opponent's inability to recover and retaliate, Mo stepped on the back of the Daruma baboon and used the "Praise" skill, causing the opponent to become confused and boosting its Special Attack.

However, given Daruma's focus on physical attack, increasing its special attack is completely useless.

As the battle progressed, some of Mari's shortcomings became apparent. Her attack methods were still not diverse enough, and apart from Balu, the skill pools of the others were not deep enough.

Based on her previous progress, it should have taken some time to replenish her skill pool. However, Marie's Pokémon have been progressing at a rapid pace recently, which has caused some of her original plans to fall through, resulting in her not being able to acquire many TMs in time.

For example, if Xiao Mo could break tiles now, the Daruma baboon wouldn't be able to keep jumping around like this.

However, there is one move that can still deal enough damage to the opponent even in the current situation. The only problem is that this move requires too much skill. Even though Xiao Mo has been learning from Yi Jiang for a while, she has not been able to succeed in using it every time.

"Roar--!"

The impression left by the chaotic state was quite significant. After the earthquake, the Darmo baboons were noticeably less stable than before, exhibiting hesitation and misjudgment.

"Make a huge scene!"

Xiao Mo's size advantage made it difficult for the Damo baboon to catch him for a while, so Mei Rong had to try to get the Damo baboon to start rolling around on the ground, hoping to disrupt Xiao Mo's evasion through this chaotic behavior.

"Xiao Mo, this is fraud!"

"……exactly!)"

Mei Rong hasn't used Belly Drum yet, probably because she's holding back or planning to wait until she's out of the confusion state before using it. But Mary doesn't want to gamble on whether her opponent will use it or not. If she successfully switches states and maximizes her attack power at the same time, Xiao Mo will be under a lot of pressure.

Before the baboon starts rolling around on the ground, we have to give it a try! Mary has faith in Mo's ability to improvise!

Xiao Mo never expected to receive such instructions. He knew that he wasn't very good at deception, or in other words, his performance was inconsistent. He was even hesitating about whether to try it when he heard Mary's decisive instructions.

The trainer's confidence was also passed on to the Pokémon, who wanted to meet Marnie's expectations!

With nimble feet, it stepped on the back of the Daruma baboon for leverage, then leaned down and firmly grabbed its shoulders with its short arms. In an instant, its body shape changed, and dark energy surged out of its pouch!

I am Morpeko, destined to become a legend! How can I be beaten so badly here!

Xiao Mo gritted her teeth and stared intently at the snow-white body beneath her that was beginning to stir. The techniques she had learned in her daily life suddenly became clear and distinct. Her thoughts flashed through her mind in that instant, and she saw the finish line!

It works!

With a twist of his waist and abdomen, Xiao Mo used the force of the baboon raising its arm to deceive!

boom--!!!

With an incredible move, Xiao Mo flipped in mid-air, forcefully lifting the Daruma baboon's body and slamming it heavily into the already shattered ground!

Even with the weakening effect of the Aurora Curtain, the attack power of the Daruma Baboon is still not something that can be easily withstood.

The already confused baboon was in so much pain that it almost lost consciousness.

Then, the baboon's snow-white body began to change; flames began to erupt from within its body, its limbs retracted, and its entire body began to resemble a snowman.

The facial features remained below, but a flame appeared on the snowball above its head.

When Darmanitan in Galar transforms into Darman Mode, it regains its lost Fire type, becoming an absurd dual-type Pokémon of Ice and Fire.

Moreover, speed and attack power have been greatly enhanced once again.

However, Mary breathed a slight sigh of relief, at least he didn't have to actively cut his abdomen.

"Crush the electric grid!"

"Flame Fang!"

Flames erupted from the center of the Damo baboon. Xiao Mo only had time to throw out the electric net before the billowing flames transformed into sharp teeth that tore at Xiao Mo!

Knowing he couldn't dodge, Xiao Mo refused to back down, his dark fangs also appearing before him, meeting the heat of the Flame Fang.

boom--!

Energy and flames erupted, and a gust of hot wind blew past, carrying the lighter Mo away from his spot.

The aurora curtain in the sky gradually dissipated, and the Damo baboons lost their means of defense.

Xiao Mo quickly steadied himself, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the aurora curtain in the sky dissipate. He let out a long breath and calmed himself down.

The next strike might just decide the outcome.

Chapter 297 West Lion Sea People and Ice Goose

In Dharma Mode, despite losing its legs, the Dharma Baboon's mobility actually increases, bouncing up and down energetically like a roly-poly toy, looking eager to try.

Despite the significant damage, Darmanitan's movements were not significantly affected as before, perhaps due to some kind of innate talent of Pokémon.

A seemingly unrelated thought flashed through Mary's mind, but she quickly pulled herself back to reality.

"Mad Volt!"

"Flash Charge!"

Mei Rong's choice surprised Mari. The power of Flame Charge is very high, but it will also cause considerable damage to the user. Although, given Morpeko's small size, the damage caused is probably within a tolerable range.

The Pokémon on both sides weren't as complicated as the trainers thought; Darmanitan and Morphling charged at their opponent simultaneously!

Xiao Mo's brain was working quickly. If they were to meet head-on like this, the final result would definitely be mutual destruction. Even if the Damo baboon did not switch states, Xiao Mo would not be able to withstand a real attack.

So, should we trade one for one?

He doesn't mind getting injured, but having come this far, Mo wants to win the game perfectly rather than have both players leave the court at the same time!

We need to find a way to avoid it!

The baboon and the enormous flames were already within reach. There was no time to think of new tactics. The deception that had been used once before now required both sides to test their reflexes!

substitute!

The figure engulfed by lightning concealed itself and created another Stand. The flames had already reached Xiao Mo's front. With no extra time to do anything else, Xiao Mo simply threw the Stand in front of her and then used the momentum from the high speed to leap high into the air!

The rising flames engulfed the stand-in, and the explosive power swept past Xiao Mo in mid-air, burning him painfully. Yet, Xiao Mo gritted his teeth and grinned maliciously.

"Fraud!"

Mary knew that Mo would not accept a draw so easily, but how he would avoid it was beyond Mary's control. Besides, even with a detailed plan, it would be impossible to communicate it smoothly in such a short time.

To avoid disturbing Mo, Mary even gave up on further explanation, only vaguely conveying the name Crazy Volt, believing that Mo could do it.

His body was quickly stained dark. Xiao Mo's lowered gaze was fixed on the wisp of flame rising above his head. His hands barely touched the snowball on the Damo baboon's head.

The same feeling as before coursed through my limbs and bones again. I can do it!

Ignoring the charred fur, Xiao Mo flipped in mid-air again, and once again the round snowball was swung up by Xiao Mo's small body!

boom--!!!

Like a bomb being dropped, flames and smoke brought a bright and high-pitched roar, and the updraft from the high temperature propelled Xiao Mo high into the air in one go.

After continuous intense battles and significant physical exertion, Xiao Mo, who was tumbling in mid-air, clearly felt a wave of fatigue sweeping over her entire body.
