Ryugu took advantage of the short period of time just now to think, and just assumed that Jirachi was a Pokémon with the combined attributes of steel and psychic. It was a bit of a headache to think about it.

"It just so happens that he is an opponent that I have a very bad compatibility with... Never mind!"

"For the second Pokémon, I choose Scyther!"

When the red and white Poké Ball was thrown, the Pokémon that fell into the field was a Pokémon that looked somewhat familiar to Nan Xian.

"scare!"

A green mantis holding two large sickles, slashing through the air in a show of strength!

Is it really Scyther?

Nan Xian smiled, and although he didn't express any clear meaning, he was inexplicably glared at by the blue-haired girl opposite him.

The girl didn't pay much attention to her opponent's embarrassed expression.

Just as I considered in the initial trash talk segment, even though Ryugu has worked hard recently, the disadvantage of Dragon-attribute Pokémon being difficult to grow is still difficult to avoid.

Breeding an extra Dragonite from the original team was already a huge improvement. Going forward, Nan Xian still didn't quite believe that Ryugu could breed a Dratini into a Dragonite in such a short period of time.

Therefore, the Sly Mantis that Ryugu had captured before, which was particularly fond of fighting, was indeed very suitable for filling the combat power within the team.

At the moment, Long Gong felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, but Nan Xian approved of Long Gong's choice.

After all, when comparing a trainer's reserve with the actual improvement in combat effectiveness, a truly mature trainer would most likely consider the latter.

While thinking, Nan Xian picked up the moon ball and pressed the button to take Jirachi back.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Nan Xian spoke to the moon ball in his hand, then took out the Youyou ball again.

In the previous match, as Jirachi's official starter, his performance can be considered as hard enough.

Having said that, Jirachi still suffered great damage from the water cannon of the Thorn Dragon King. Although Jirachi tried hard to cheer up, Nan Xian didn't want Jirachi to continue to force himself.

Proper rest is also something that trainers need to consider for Pokémon.

Next, he will have to face two opponents, and the Pokémon that is eager to try is waiting in the Friend Ball in Nan Xian's hand!

"Boni-ao!"

Without waiting for Nan Xian to press the button, the Youyou ball opened automatically.

The evil one makes a dashing appearance!

After flipping over and landing in the arena, before putting on the mask, Erguiyan first looked towards the Dragon Palace across the arena.

"Boni, Boni-oh!"

This was the opening greeting, and when he saw Erguiyan, Ryugu couldn't help but clench his fists.

"scare!"

Scyther could sense Ryugu's mood. When he saw the familiar-looking little devil, he also picked up his sickle and swung it a few times in a show of force.

Adu didn't keep the two trainers and the two Pokémon waiting for long.

As a temporary referee, he has to announce the start of the half-time break.

"Five seconds countdown..."

Time passed little by little as A'du read out his speech.

Until the man called out Zero, Ryuguu once again took the lead and quickly shouted out instructions.

"Flying Mantis, Sword Dance!"

"scare!"

Scythe swung its sickle quickly in the air, its momentum increasing bit by bit, quickly and dramatically.

...Use the enhancement right at the beginning?

Nan Xian narrowed his eyes and sensed what Long Gong was thinking during this battle.

She probably calculated that the grass-attribute Eruption's moves would only have a negligible effect on Scyther. After all, the combined attributes of insect and flying could provide a total of four times the resistance to the grass attribute.

"...Alright."

In this case, the girl curled her lips unconsciously and gave instructions as well.

"Evil Spirit, Sword Dance!"

"Bonnie!"

The opponent is not the only one with enhanced skills.

Nan Xian had prepared many move learning devices for Erguiyan a long time ago. Although Erguiyan, who was obsessed with mastering the Thorn Vine Stick, has focused most of his energy on his own moves in recent times, in his spare time, Erguiyan, who has outstanding fighting talents, can learn other moves and use them in a short time.

The momentum of Eruption and Scyther was rising steadily, and they used Sword Dance together until the two Pokémon's actions were finished.

Scyther, who used Sword Dance first, was one level higher in proficiency than Eruption. Noticing the time difference between their turns, Ryugu immediately seized the opportunity.

"Cross scissors!"

"scare!"

Scyther crossed its two sickles like a pair of scissors and rushed towards Erupt with great momentum.

"Huh... Instead of trying to stay away, you want to fight me in close combat?"

Nan Xian finally couldn't suppress his smile.

Until this moment, she was still certain that Ryugu was indeed the somewhat reckless young trainer she was familiar with.

"Evil and strange."

The girl's voice sounded with a smile.

"Foundational Stone Mask, Thorn Vine Stick!"

"Boni-ao!"

The mask of foundation, the mask of foundation stone!

Erguiyan moved his small hand, and in a moment, the lime-colored mask was already on his face. Light emanated from his body, and when the light faded away, Erguiyan's figure had changed.

"Varied……"

This kind of change is completely beyond the consideration of Dragon Palace.

——Where's your grass-green mask? !

In Ryugu's memory, his impression of Uruk-O is that this Pokémon wore a grass-green mask and defeated his Dratini with its agile posture.

But unexpectedly, Erguiyan took out another mask!

Scyther, who was flying straight towards Eruption and about to attack with the cross shears, was horrified to find that his opponent had already taken out a large stick covered with vine thorns, with broken sharp stones constantly scattering around it.

Just like Sly Mantis, which has the insect and flying composite attributes, can resist four times when facing grass-attribute moves.

The rock attribute can cause four times restraint on the insect and flying attribute Slymantid.

"Boni, Boni!"

Eruption raised the thorn vine stick high and aimed precisely at the opponent.

——This blow will let you taste the power of the thorn vine stick!

boom--!

After the sword dance, Eruption swung the thorn stick again, and tasted the long-lost refreshing feeling. He attacked the opponent's thorn stick with real force, even though Scyther used cross scissors to try to block it.

But facing the fierce thorn vine stick, the Scyther was ultimately faster than when it flew towards it, and flew backwards out of the field in a flash of lightning.

"……scare!!!"

puff.

The Sly Mantis fell back behind Ryugu, having completely lost its combat capability, causing the entire place to fall silent for a short period of time.

Until the blue-haired girl came to her senses and looked at Eruption who was still wearing the foundation stone mask, she raised her hand, her fingertips trembling.

“It’s not fair—!”

Finally, the angry blue-haired girl spoke loudly.

"...I want a rematch!"

A rematch is not possible.

After Long Gong took out the atlas again and took a quick look at Ergui Yan, he realized what a strategic mistake he had made.

'Ding--'

"Irmako, the masked Pokémon."

'Its attributes change according to the mask it wears, and it is a Pokémon that can release the power contained in the mask to fight!'

...What the hell?

The emotions in Long Gong's heart were so grief-stricken and indignant that they could not be described.

Just the sight of Eruption wearing a green grass mask had already left a deep impression on Ryugu. With its agile and flexible body, it completely played Dratini around.

I thought this was the limit of Erguiyan, but who could have imagined that it had as many as four masks!

Long Gong looked at the four masks that Ergui Luo was showing to him not far away at the signal of Nan Xian.

Green grass mask, foundation stone mask, stove mask, well mask...

In other words, it actually has two different combat forms.

——It’s not fair!

This time, Long Gong really wanted to shout out something from the bottom of his heart.

"Masked Pokémon, Eruption?"

On the contrary.

A'du didn't care about his little sister's failure.

Defeat in a battle is just the result of a game. What the trainer really cares about is whether he can make progress in the battle.

At least after this battle, Ryugu will definitely learn that he needs to be cautious in battle and not take things for granted.

After examining Ergui's figure again, Adu finally discovered that he was not without influence on Nanxian.

"A trainer who drives a Pokémon with a ghostly figure..."

Previously, during the incident at the Well of Slowpoke, the Team Rocket members who did not recognize Uruk-O mistook the person wearing Uruk-O for an evil spirit.

Although the words were vague, the Quartz Alliance still recorded them. Adu's impression was not very deep, but after seeing Erguiyan, he still connected Erguiyan with the original report.

He is both brave and righteous, and has amazing talent.

No matter which aspect it is, A'du's favorability towards Nan Xian has greatly increased.

Being a Poké Ball craftsman...although he is indeed amazing and worthy of admiration, it is a completely different profession from being a trainer.

Nan Xian, who was able to take the initiative to stop Team Rocket and do justice, is now considered one of Adu's own and a promising young trainer.

"Hmph... the battle isn't over yet..."

Ryugu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. Although he knew he was going to lose, he still took out the last Poké Ball with trembling hands.

"Go, Tanabata Blue Bird!"

The Tanabata Bluebird evolved from the Bluebird.

Compared to the last time I said goodbye to Nanxian, the strength of the Ryugu team is a world of difference. No wonder I can follow Adu and challenge the Galar region competition together.

However, facing Erguiyan after the sword dance, Qixi Bluebird and Scyther were no match for each other.

——After all, the rock attribute restrains the flying attribute.

I thought I could take advantage of the attributes, but I never expected to be completely restrained by Nan Xian.

Don’t even mention how aggrieved Longgong felt.

Even though Longgong tried to instruct Qixi Bluebird to use cotton defense, Nanxian still had a backup plan facing the Qixi Bluebird's greatly enhanced defense.
