Pokémon from Galar

"A flash of lightning! A flurry of strikes!"

"Iron Tail!"

Both of their bodies glowed white and disappeared from their original spots almost simultaneously, closing the distance between them once again, almost repeating the previous clash.

Ichigo, who wasn't good at this kind of combat in the past, has been absorbing new knowledge very quickly during this period, which has enabled her to deal with enemies more flexibly and skillfully when in close combat.

"Strange light!"

"Keep the combo!"

There was no good way to defend against the opponent's strange light, and it was impossible to dodge at such close range. Onion Soldier and Yuri had the same idea at this moment: to spot the opponent and take the opportunity to attack!

Clang—!

Once again deflecting the sword of the Onion Soldier, I-chan flipped in mid-air as a strange light burst forth, enveloping the Onion Soldier. The Onion Soldier, however, ignored the attack and was abruptly deflected as the hanging sword slashed upwards.

The continuous, uninterrupted combo was executed with ease, the upward strikes seizing the momentary opening in I-chan's attack and landing on her.

Bang-!

I-chan, struck by the attack, flew backward and staggered to the ground, almost losing her balance. Meanwhile, Onion Soldier on the opposite side was also dizzy and disoriented, clearly experiencing a loss of consciousness.

Although she was hit first, after seeing what the Onion Soldier looked like, I-chan felt that this was a worthwhile outcome.

When the Scallion Pan is in good condition, it is too well-guarded, and it is not easy to find an opening. However, now that it is in a state of chaos, the difficulty drops rapidly.

"Strengthen your willpower!"

"see through!"

The invisible psychic power was still cleaved by Sirfetch'd, and the Fighting-type energy forcibly dispersed the psychic power, but there was no doubt that Sirfetch'd's reaction was slower than before.

Although we can't force him to make a direct mistake, this alone is already very good.

Yuri and Onion Soldier were naturally aware of the current situation, and because of the chaotic state, Onion Soldier's judgment was more dependent on Yuri's command.

"Leaf Blade! Prevent close combat!"

"A flash of lightning!"

As Onion Soldier unleashed two slender leaf blades, I-chan bent down, bursting into white light, and quickly disappeared from her original spot, successfully avoiding the emerald green leaf blade that shattered the ground!

But Onion Soldier clearly didn't want to give up so easily. With a swing of his sword, the still-burning leaf blades quickly changed direction, crossed into a cross shape, and pounced towards Ichigo's direction, quickly catching up with Ichigo who was about to approach Onion Soldier!

Clang—clang—!

Sensing the leaf blades so close by with her psychic abilities, Ichigo had no choice but to abandon the nearby Farfetch'd and turn around to forcefully disperse them with her Iron Tail.

But this delay forced Ichigo to slow down, and at the same time, Onion Soldier got into position again. With two emerald green leaf blades, they soared into the air again, as if planning to attack simultaneously using the leaf blades.

Mary narrowed her eyes slightly upon seeing this. When did she learn this technique? And in a chaotic state no less... It's even more impressive than I imagined.

"Stand-in-waiting, let's do it one more time!"

"babble--!"

With a bang, I-chan summoned an identical booster beside her, and both of them bent down and activated Quick Attack!

call out--!

As the blade slashed head-on, the two Ichigos suddenly turned, one to the left and one to the right, and pounced on the Onion Soldier!

Which side is the correct one?

Distracted, Cong Youbing was finding it difficult to handle the situation at hand.

"A blade probe!"

But Yuri's voice came just in time, and two leaf blades swiftly arced through the air, slashing towards Ichigo on the right. At the same time, Negi Yuuhei himself was on guard against the one approaching from the left.

Off to work on the crisis contract!

As the title says! I went to participate in an event, and also played some Duel Links. I played again today!

One hundred characters ...

Chapter 329 Onion Ranger vs. I-chan (Part 2)

I-chan was very fast, and by the time Leaf Blade caught up with her, she was already very close to Onion Soldier.

Negi Yuu's sword tip drooped, his gaze lingering between the two I-chans. There was no time to lose!

Leaf Blade was a beat too slow. By then, Ichigo had already entered his attack range, so he suddenly slashed upwards with the sword in his right hand!

Bang-!

I-chan's figure vanished instantly in a puff of smoke, and at the same time, a metallic sound came from behind Onion Yu-bing, along with a powerful attack that tore through the air and roared as it hurtled towards him!

Without turning around, one could tell that it was I-chan's attack after breaking through the Leaf Blade.

At this moment, Cong Youbing didn't have time to turn around. Although the posture he had just used to draw his sword was calculated to make it the easiest to turn around, it was obviously still not enough time for him to turn around and counterattack immediately.

In that instant, Cong Youbing quickly gathered her thoughts. Her body remained motionless, and all her attention was focused on her ears; the whistling wind could tell her the direction of her opponent's attack.

The muscle memory developed through daily training came into play at this moment; before the mind could even react, the left hand had already begun to move.

Her body bent downwards along with the weight of the sword, and her left hand quickly rose up behind her, the huge, emerald green shield blocking Ichijō's path perfectly.

The moment the shield made contact with the claws, a familiar feeling of powerlessness quickly surfaced. Immediately understanding the situation, Onion Soldier unleashed his full strength without reservation to stabilize the shield in his hand and used the techniques he had stolen to try to deal with the unpredictable deception.

clang--!!!

Despite taking all possible measures to cope, the enormous force was dissipated onto the ground by Cong Youbing. As the ground beneath his feet crumbled inch by inch, Cong Youbing, who was not on his feet, slid backward along the ground, leaving two inconspicuous marks on the ground with his feet.

"Ee- (You're quite capable.)"

As she landed, I-chan nodded to Onion Soldier with a mixture of surprise and delight. She hadn't deliberately taught him, but it was impressive that he had learned even the basics through daily practice and observation.

"Gah—(Still a long way off...)"

Onion Soldier shook his head; the chaotic state continued to bother him.

He quickly regained his composure and once again held his sword and shield in front of him. However, his left wing, which held the shield, was trembling slightly, indicating that his defense was not as easy as it seemed.

Despite failing to achieve her goal once again, Ichigo was not discouraged. Her offensive abilities were not particularly outstanding, and she was already used to this. In fact, it would have been unimaginable for her to launch such a proactive attack last year.

"Slash after slash!"

Yuri once again had Sirfetch'd launch the first attack, and although the combo attack wasn't very powerful, Sirfetch'd used it quite often because it was suitable for sustained attacks.

"Iron Tail, Crush!"

I-chan reacted quickly, a flash of white light appeared, and her tail swept across to block the sword attack of the Onion Soldier again, forcefully deflecting it. At the same time, her fangs emerged and she bit down hard on its body!

This move is merely an add-on for Ichigo, its power is not great, but the reason it's used here is...

I-chan stared at the Onion Warrior who raised his shield to block the attack, her eyes slightly narrowed. The increased trembling made her realize that what she had just seen was not an illusion.

For years, Onion Soldier has been learning swordsmanship with a single hand. Although the shield he gained after evolving doesn't affect his performance, it's still difficult for him to integrate it into his technique in a short time.

For Onion Soldier, the shield is now merely a way to fill in the gaps and increase the margin for error when the sword can't react in time.

Perhaps this shield will be the breakthrough point.

Having quickly grasped the situation, Mary began to think about how to force the Onion Soldier to continue using his shield.

If I make it too obvious and Yuri and Onion Yuhei realize my intentions, it will become troublesome.

"Leaf Blade!"

Yuri, of course, had no idea what Mari was thinking. After Lian Zhan lured I-chan a little closer, Ye Ren quickly followed up!

A bright green leaf suddenly popped out and swung down at I-chan. The risky use of the combo attack earlier was probably just to wait for this surprise attack.

The moment I saw the unusually fast-appearing leaf blade, I realized this fact.

Hold on!

Bang-!

He subconsciously used Guard to defend against the Leaf Blade attack.

"Splash sand!"

Mary's voice rang out from behind. In her haste, I-chan didn't have time to think about the reason, but subconsciously raised a large cloud of dust, enveloping the Onion Soldiers once again.

"Strengthen your willpower!"

"defense!"

Can it be blocked?

Yuri, who gave the order, was also a little worried. Unlike I-chan who had entered the attack alone before, the use of superpowers was much harder to detect, especially when covered by smoke and dust.

Cong Youbing also realized this problem at this moment. The moment he raised his sword, he found that he could not accurately judge the exact location where the attack would appear. The sword blade was only so thick. If he could not judge accurately, he could not use the ability to see through to successfully defend.

Before he could even think, Izumi's attack came incredibly fast. Negi Yuushi didn't dare delay either; heading towards the approximate location, he slammed his shield into the ground with his left hand, pinning it completely against the broken crater. Then—

boom--!!

hum-

The immense mental force slammed into Onion Soldier's shield. The thin shield was held firmly in front of Onion Soldier, and the metallized blades trembled at a high frequency, even emitting a sharp sound due to the excessive vibration.

Upon hearing the buzzing sound, Mary raised her eyebrows slightly. She knew she had succeeded. Although another attempt might not be as effective, this attack was still a good start.

So heavy—

Onion Soldier gradually came to his senses. The sour feeling on the left flank made him begin to suspect that the attack just now was actually aimed at his shield.

Just now, I only used my shield and left wing to block Ichijo's incomplete deception. If this psychic attack is intended to continue targeting my left wing, then the opponent's purpose is very clear.

Sensing the significant decline in his left side, Cong Youbing's eyes sharpened. If two more such attacks completely broke his left wing, it could even affect his balance; he had to make a choice—

The sandstorm quickly dissipated, and the appearance of the Onion Ranger, who reappeared, startled Yuri.

The Onion Soldier turned sideways, his right hand holding the sword in its original, pre-evolutionary stance, tucked behind his back. He then turned to the side, deliberately displaying the winged part of his shield to Yuri.

Then, with a powerful thud, he smashed the ground, planted the shield on the field, and released his left flank.

"This is……"

Upon seeing this, Yuri immediately understood Cong Youbing's meaning. She quickly replayed the attack and defense in her mind, her gaze falling on the left flank that had been withdrawn. Suppressing her regret, she quickly gave her next command.

"Close combat!"

"Fraud!"
