Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Since attacks from top to bottom will be blocked by the opponent's hard carapace, then - let's change to a more suitable angle!

Facing the stone fragments that hit him, Yveltal flapped his wings and rushed out of the encirclement.

Although these attacks still caused considerable damage to him, compared to the battles he had experienced before, it was still a drop in the bucket and could still be withstood.

Moreover, once she adjusts the angle, the balance of the battle will be completely reversed!

"It's now!"

When Yveltal broke out of the encirclement and dived close to the ground, she turned her body around and once again shot her death storm towards the turtle.

"Tutai Turtle, defend against the opponent's attack!" Hua Wanshuang wanted Tutai Turtle to defend, but the energy emitted by Yveltal, which had already rushed to the ground, was no longer so easy to defend against.

Even if it retracted its head slightly, it didn't have any good effect.

From this angle, it can almost be said that the blow hit the turtle's face directly. Although it did not knock the turtle, which had thick skin and flesh, down directly, it still made the turtle cry out in pain.

"He actually rushed out directly from the rock-type attack and traded injuries with the Tutai turtle?"

Hua Wanshuang never thought that Qiao Ran would make such a choice. Although she was surprised, she couldn't help but say something.

"If you're still thinking the same thing as last time, then you're really underestimating the Tutai Turtle's defense..."

If you compare defense and attack power, her Dodaika will not lose to anyone. If you directly exchange blood points, she is also quite confident.

However, the scene that happened next made her eyes widen and she swallowed the words on her lips.

I saw that the scars on Yveltal, who originally looked scarred, were gradually decreasing, and the huge wings were shining brightly again.

"Is this... a skill that restores physical strength?"

Hua Wanshuang's eyes flickered.

She guessed that the other party had used a skill, but from the beginning of the battle until now, the other party had no chance to use any skills at all.

If there is only one possibility, it is——

"No, that's not right. Could it be the attack just now?"

"This skill actually has the effect of restoring physical strength!"

Chapter 574 [Hard Armor]

As the owner of a grass-attribute gym, Hua Wanshuang is very familiar with this skill that can restore physical strength.

Skills such as Drain, Super Drain, Ultimate Drain, and Wood Horn are all exclusive to Grass-attribute Pokémon. While these skills cause considerable damage, they can also restore the Pokémon's physical strength, thereby achieving the effect of further suppressing the opponent.

However, all of these skills have one obvious characteristic, which is that they can only be effective when close to the opponent's body and in close combat.

"...How can you absorb the opponent's energy by simply shooting light like this?"

Hua Wanshuang was truly amazed, but looking at Yveltal opposite her, she could feel that her guess was probably not wrong, as the other party's physical strength had indeed recovered.

"No wonder they chose to exchange their physical strength directly."

In these two games, Qiao Ran never chose a "seemingly safer" style of play, but - even if he made such a choice, his judgment was still reasonable.

Because he also has his own support.

With the help of this skill that can restore one's own physical strength, if it gets into a tug-of-war, the Todai Turtle will definitely not be able to withstand such consumption!

"Dotai Turtle, sharp stone attack!"

Don't let the opponent stay close to the ground.

She had to drive the opponent back to the sky and launch an attack from there. There was no way to attack the weak points below the head or even the abdomen of the turtle!

"Roar--"

The Tutai Turtle raised its thick forelimbs and let out a muddy and loud roar. Its body pressed heavily on the ground. As it moved, countless sharp stone pillars that emitted faint fluorescence and were full of energy began to protrude from the ground and pierced straight towards Yveltal.

"Fly!"

There was no way Qiao Ran would let Yveltal just stay where he was and take the attack, and Hua Wanshuang seemed to only want to drive Yveltal out of this area close to the ground.

As expected, after Yveltal dodged, the opponent's attack stopped immediately and did not use the sharp stones on the ground to chase Yveltal in the sky.

——Her intention was not to cause any harm to Yveltal.

She just hoped that Yveltal was not within this range, so that it would be impossible to attack any weakness of the turtle!

Unlike battles in games, Pokémon in reality all have different physical characteristics, and the huge carapace on the back of Squirtle cannot be calculated using the Pokémon's "normal defense" at all. This thick shell is enough to withstand most attacks.

"Difficult to handle."

Qiao Ran already felt that everything was starting to become difficult.

Even though Yveltal has a skill that can restore physical strength, if this skill can only hit the back of the turtle, it will basically not cause any obvious damage. However, the opponent can use his extremely fast-moving skills to play with him in the palm of his hand.

This Tortoise was indeed bred too well. Qiao Ran even wondered if the other party had bred this Tortoise in this direction just to target Flying-type Pokémon.

From the moment she sent out the Tutai Turtle, it was already a trap.

——Originally used to target the opponent's flying-attribute Pokémon, the "flying" feature has become the biggest constraint. If it is a Pokémon that can use drilling or tunneling skills, it may be able to launch a sneak attack from below, catching the opponent off guard.

"Why is this damn thing so hard?"

Yveltal in the sky, unwilling to believe in evil, fired Deathwing at the Tortoise, but apart from hitting the opponent's back, it basically had no obvious effect.

In addition, she must always be careful of falling rocks in the air. Those rocks filled with rock energy can cause great damage to her. Although they will not defeat her all at once, if they accumulate into a large number, even she may find it difficult to withstand them.

"What should I do! Qiao Ran!"

Yveltal said that she didn't like such opponents. If it was a team battle, she could ask Reshiram to burn the opponent with fire, but now she was alone and was trapped in a dilemma of not being able to fight or not.

"Don't worry."

At this time, Qiao Ran actually needed to calm Yveltal's emotions. If they continued to consume energy like this, it would not necessarily be a disadvantage for them, but it was obvious to the naked eye that Yveltal's mentality was completely unable to accept such a battle.

"We still have to get down to the ground. Are you afraid of the pain?"

"Are you looking down on me?"

Yveltal was not afraid at all. How could she, who was not even afraid of death, be afraid of something like this?

If she broke any rules, she should let Arceus punish her instead of fighting a turtle here.

She just wants to finish work quickly.

"Then trust me. Also, never underestimate your opponent."

Qiao Ran didn't want Yveltal to be careless and fall into the opponent's trick, and thus be defeated here. Her opponent was a king-level turtle after all. Although it was difficult to bite him now, his strength was indeed real.

"Then hurry up!

Otherwise, find a chance to make up for it for me!"

Yveltal snorted coldly and dodged the opponent's attack in the air again. However, as time went on, her dodging was no longer as fast as before, and she was even scratched several times in the middle of dodging.

"As expected of the Flower Pavilion Master's ace Pokémon... Even with its attributes suppressed, it still manages to gain the upper hand."

"After all, when he was young, Master Hua was also a very famous trainer. Although he is still a little short of the top level, he is already one of the strongest among the younger generation of gym leaders, right?"

"really."

The trainers watching the game outside the field also discussed the battle situation inside the field. Although the current situation is a bit stalemate, for Hua Wanshuang's side whose attributes are restrained by the opponent, it can actually be considered a very good situation.

"How are you going to deal with this? Qiao Ran."

Hua Wanshuang was not at all impatient. She looked like a tree standing on the sidelines, extremely calm about the battle situation on the field.

The characteristics of the grass type are fully reflected in her.

"Don't forget, my turtle can also recover its strength."

"Photosynthesis!"

Chapter 575 [See you tomorrow]

The dazzling sunlight gathered on the body of the earth turtle, and gradually, the scars on its body began to heal.

"..."

Qiao Ran had no way to counter the other party's behavior and could only be dragged into the quagmire of an infinite cycle.

"Oh no, it's the same situation as mine this morning."

Mei was very familiar with this situation. When she fought in the morning, she faced basically the same situation. If it weren't for the fact that the Monarch Snake became stronger and stronger, so that the opponent couldn't hold on, she might have fallen down directly.

"Once you're dragged into Sister Wanshuang's rhythm, this is basically the result."

Hua Wanshuang's fighting style is like a grass-type Pokémon's hunting style. It is neither hurried nor slow, consuming the opponent bit by bit, thus draining the opponent's physical strength.

"If we want to change this situation, we have to do something 'unexpected'."

Miyue on the side expressed her own opinion. She would face such a battle tomorrow. However, after watching the matches in the morning and afternoon, she felt a little confused. She even wondered, if she were to face such a situation, how would she deal with it?

"That's what I said, but..."

Mei's voice paused.

"Let's just trust Qiao Ran."

"He will definitely find a way."

Mei chose to trust Qiao Ran on the stage, and Qiao Ran on the stage did not disappoint her.

After several tentative confrontations, Qiao Ran and Yveltal finally chose to "take the risk."

"Raid!"

"Roar!!!"

With a shrill roar, Yveltal turned into a stream of light and rushed directly to the ground from the sky.

"Sharp stone attack!"

Hua Wanshuang immediately issued a counter-measure order, but Qiao Ran and Yveltal's choice this time made her eyes widen in surprise: "What?"

This time, Yveltal did not land in front of the turtle as before, but directly grabbed the turtle's shell with his two huge claws.

"Crazy plant!" Hua Wanshuang quickly changed her instructions.

At this distance, those rock-based skills become difficult to use. One requires rising from the ground, and the other requires falling from the air, both of which take a certain amount of time.

Hua Wanshuang finally chose the ultimate skill of grass attribute to counterattack. Countless hard, thorny, ochre-colored vines surged out from the side of the earthen turtle and squeezed towards Yveltal.

Even when being whipped by the vines, Yveltal did not make any screams, and her claws were still tightly grasping the other party.

The moment the opponent launched an attack, her attack also gushed out at the same time.

The light filled with death energy directly hit the turtle's face at the closest distance.

"This……"

Mei, Mitsuki and others in the audience were stunned. Although they kept saying that some "accidents" were needed to end the battle, this was not an accident at all!

This is completely forcing the other party to fight together!

Squirtle was washed in the face by Deathwing, and Yveltal was also bathed in the opponent's fierce attack. Both Pokémon were completely furious.

"But...if it's that Yveltal, it does have her style," Lillie added.

"Well, it seems so."

Recalling the several times they met Yveltal, they all remembered the girl who was in a bad mood and had a foul mouth that was quite out of control. If it were her, she would not be able to endure when facing such a battle.

There was nothing fancy, just a simple collision, but this scene was indeed out of Hua Wanshuang's control.

She could only stare at this hellish scene with her mouth open.

Under the impact of the death ray, the physical strength of the Tutai turtle was also being consumed rapidly. Without the protection of the carapace, the Tutai turtle had no way to use its body to continuously withstand Yperel.

Tal's attack.

In the end, the tortoise's sturdy limbs bent completely, and its huge body fell to the ground. Yveltal, whose body was also covered with scars, roared angrily to vent his inner feelings.

"Win...win!"

"The winner is Yveltal!"

The trainers watching from the audience cheered, celebrating Yveltal's victory. In their imagination, Yveltal seemed to be so excited and happy just because he had won. However, in Qiao Ran's ears, it was a completely different situation.

“It’s finally over!!”

She was so excited simply because she could finish the game.

"We agreed that you would heal all these injuries for me."
