Pokémon from Galar

The immense force slammed Ninetales into the ground, causing her to lose her balance. At the same time, Grass-type energy exploded on her body, inflicting considerable damage.

“kon…”

Despite the pain, the Ice Nine-Tails struggled to stand up again. Mary and the cunning tengu did not continue their pursuit but waited for the Ice Nine-Tails to recover.

Yuri's heart was in her throat until the Ice Nine-Tails regrouped. It seemed that after the Sun Blade was split into two, its power was also split. Otherwise, given the Ice Nine-Tails' defensive capabilities, it would have been impossible for it to withstand that attack.

In the audience,

Sonia observed the situation on the field, curiously studying the expressions of the two people.

"Wow... they really don't hold back at all."

Sonia had been wondering how much Mary would hold back, but she was surprised that she almost didn't. Even now, Yuri's Nine-Tails and Thousand-Faced Escaper are in poor condition.

On the other hand, only Commander Cleave is not in good condition, but he still maintains a decent combat ability.

The fourth Pokémon, Sonia with sharp eyes, naturally spotted the Moon Ball on Marie's waist. With Sirfetch'd and Eevee not moving, Yuri was already having a very difficult time defeating the other three Pokémon.

Hop was watching from the sidelines, but he was thinking about whether he could beat the Pokémon that Mary brought out if he were the one on the field.

It's not that they can't fight; the Pokémon that Mary chose are clearly all at the same level in terms of strength. But the problem is that, considering the list they submitted, Mary wouldn't actively choose such a weak team.

It's a bit difficult. Maybe I should train with Master Mei Rong for a while before taking on this challenge.

Hep pondered this, but the option of giving up did not come to mind. Even if the probability of defeat was high, he wanted to give it a try.

And at this moment on the battlefield

Yuri's thoughts were somewhat similar to Hop's. She also felt that they shouldn't rush into starting the challenge, but should first train with Mei Rong, the gym leader, for a period of time. Perhaps the situation would be much better then.

Moreover... although she knew it was her duty, Yuri still felt a little wronged and unwilling at this moment. Was she really that much worse than Mari?

Negative thoughts flashed through her mind, but Yuri quickly suppressed them. Compared to those petty emotions, she needed to think about how to break the deadlock first.

Does the Nine-Tails have a trump card to break the deadlock? Of course it does, and strictly speaking, it should have been used earlier, but Mari and the cunning tengu's attack was too fast. While Yuri was still probing, they suddenly launched a rapid attack.

This hasty response led to us handing over our advantage.

"Nine-Tails, can we continue?"

"kon—!"

Since Mary deliberately gave herself some breathing time, Yuri simply checked the condition of the Nine-Tails. The two sides were very close now, and with the Nine-Tails' reaction speed, the probability of success was high!

Thinking this through, Yuri crossed the battlefield to meet Mari's gaze, and then smiled.

"Immobilization spell!"

Upon hearing Yuri's voice, Mari smiled slightly. It was alright. Although she should have used it when the cunning tengu attacked, it wasn't too late to realize it now.

Although she was thinking about these things, Mary's overt commands didn't stop.

"Terrified!"

At this distance, it's not easy to dodge the immobilization spell. The brief moment it was stationary earlier reduced the cunning tengu's speed to zero, and it's unrealistic to expect it to reach its maximum speed again in an instant.

Upon hearing the command, the cunning tengu took a slight step back, opened its mouth, and suddenly let out a piercing scream at the ice-cold nine-tailed fox!

Ice Nine-Tails was once again faster than Cunning Tengu, using its immobilization technique first. Invisible energy enveloped its opponent and then quickly invaded it!

Bang-!

Both of them took a step back at the same time, and a small amount of the attack landed on the Ice Nine-Tails along with the sound waves, making her already precarious body even more precarious. Fortunately, the Ice Nine-Tails was not frightened and did not shrink back.

Instead, the cunning tengu was struck by the immobilization spell and fell into a brief state of paralysis.

opportunity!

Yuri and the Ice Nine-Tails' eyes lit up at the same time.

"Magic Flash!"

"kon—!"

The two voices almost overlapped, and the Ice Nine-Tails used its last bit of strength to mobilize all the energy it could muster in that instant.

Pale pink energy swirled around, seemingly about to materialize, and then...

call out--!

A dazzling pillar of light erupted, making the already bright area even more dazzling. The fairy-type energy completely engulfed the cunning tengu, while the unstoppable magical flash shattered the ground all the way, unleashing tremendous power!

As expected, once the attack ended, the cunning tengu collapsed to the ground, incapacitated.

"yeah--!!"

Although she knew that Marie had gone easy on her, at least one of Marie's Pokémon had been taken down, which greatly encouraged Yuri.

With a smile in her eyes, Yuri caught sight of Mari, who was standing opposite her. In that instant, she seemed to hear the sound of some kind of barrier shattering within her own heart.

Chapter 326 Gyarados's Fierce Attack

As Marie raised the Poké Ball to recall the unconscious Tengu, Yuri snapped out of her daze, also raised her Poké Ball, temporarily recalling Ninetales, and then threw out a fluffy white Poké Ball.

Mary smiled and considered it for a moment. Yuri probably intended to force out her third Pokémon, which was why she deliberately chose to send Whitey to the field.

However, given the current situation, it's time for a third Pokémon to appear. Otherwise, Bisharp might be able to take down Ninetales and Inteleon, but it would be at a significant disadvantage against Sprite.

Reaching out, I took the third red and white ball. This Pokémon had been in the gym for quite a while, and to be honest, it was Marie who persuaded her brother to catch it.

In an ordinary lake, the only creature that refused to be mediocre was discovered by Mary, who then had Nie Zi take it back to the gym.

However, since Mega Evolution cannot be used in Galar gym battles, this kid doesn't actually appear very often. In addition, he hasn't obtained the corresponding evolution stone yet, so he has fewer opportunities to go on missions.

So Marie chose him as her third Pokémon, and for the foreseeable future, until Nie Zi returns, he will likely be Marie's go-to Pokémon.

Mary pulled her right arm back, bent over, lifted her left foot, and then took a sudden step forward, forcefully throwing the smooth red and white ball onto the court.

"Go, Gyarados!"

"Roar--!!"

The towering Gyarados floated on the field, exuding an aura of oppression. Marie could hear the joy hidden within its opening roar.

This Gyarados evolved through rigorous training, a process that was difficult, but its advantage is that it is not as easily angered as some wild Gyarados, and can better maintain calm thinking in battle.

Of course, many viewers outside the venue who were unaware of the details began to worry about whether Marie could control a Pokémon like Gyarados that is prone to going out of control, since these were Nie Zi's Pokémon, not ones that Marie had caught herself.

"A grass blender!"

"Water flow tail!"

As the commands sounded from both sides, the two Pokémon on the field moved simultaneously. Large, emerald-green leaves spun around, attempting to surround the Gyarados in mid-air. The slender leaves cut through the air, creating gusts of wind.

"Roar--!!"

Unbeknownst to them, the ever-accumulating water began to coil around Gyarados's thick tail, causing it to tumble violently in mid-air. Its several-meter-long tail, carrying a destructive stream of water, crashed head-on into the high-speed grass-cutter!

"storm!"

With a single blow, it shattered its opponent's attack. Gyarados instinctively slapped its tail, soared into the sky, and roared in mid-air, summoning a whirlwind!

"Hold on!"

The storm covered a wide area, and with nowhere to hide, the white, fluffy creature had no choice but to take temporary defensive measures.

bang——

The light barrier shattered, and Bai Pengpeng rapidly ascended into the air, reaching a height comparable to Gyarados.

"Magic Leaf!"

If an attack cannot be avoided, then you have no choice but to face it head-on!

"Crush it!"

The command, which echoed Gyarados's usual habits, made him feel exceptionally comfortable. He opened his fangs, and a dark phantom appeared. He then bit down hard on the incoming Magic Leaf!

boom--!

The explosion caused by the energy collision obscured Gyarados's vision.

"Energy Ball!"

"Hold on!"

Mary's command caused Gyarados to instinctively flick its tail, creating a light barrier as it charged forward through the smoke. Looking up instinctively, it saw the white, fluffy creature floating above it, holding an energy ball and smiling at it.

call out--!

The emerald green energy ball burst forth with its expected speed, seemingly ignoring air resistance, silently traversing the height difference in an instant and arriving in front of Gyarados.

boom--!!!

The massive energy exploded on the light barrier. Although it blocked the attack, some of the impact from the explosion still caused Gyarados's flight altitude to drop further.

"Please let it rain!"

"Roar--!!"

The Gyarados, which was nearly hit head-on, let out an angry roar, and the dark clouds above the arena began to gather rapidly.

"Sunbeam!"

Yuri seized the opportunity to have Bai Pengpeng condense an incredibly powerful beam of sunlight, causing a brief period of calm on the field.

The torrential rain made Bai Pengpeng, who was floating in mid-air with the wind, feel uncomfortable, but she couldn't care less about the rain at the moment. The energy ball in her hand was becoming more and more solid, and she had to concentrate all her attention on it.

"Waterfall climbing!"

Gyarados, having summoned a downpour, soared into the sky once more. The surrounding water began to converge around it, following its trajectory. Waterfall's preparation time quickly caught up with the white, billowing solar beams, and both attacks were ready almost simultaneously.

Just as Gyarados flew to the same height as Whitey!

The two Pokémon locked eyes.

boom--!!!

Two attacks erupted simultaneously! The rapidly spinning, condensed water, carried by Gyarados, unleashed its most astonishing momentum, directly confronting the Solar Beam!

The explosion caused by the collision of energies sent the rain flying far away, landing on the audience seats. Meanwhile, Gyarados, located in the center of the battlefield, bravely withstood the energy pillar of the solar beam, squeezing out the water-type energy in its body, and forcefully broke through the attack, moving towards Bai Pengpeng!

The stalemate lasted for several seconds, until finally, Bai Pengpeng could no longer maintain such a high-powered attack, and the beam of light began to weaken rapidly to a visible degree.

"Roar--!!!"

Sensing all this, Gyarados let out another deafening roar, its weakened momentum rising again. It broke through the energy beam in one go and crashed headfirst into the petite body of the white, fluffy creature.
