But at this extremely quiet moment, two sounds of Poké Balls being touched were heard.

Eruption landed beside Nan Xian, and even Jirachi was floating in the air, with a serious expression, constantly observing the surroundings.

"You two..."

Before Nan Xian could continue sighing, the rumbling sound of footsteps came closer and closer in the distance.

call out--!

Just like a heated knife cutting through butter, Nan Xian's eyes blurred and another tree within a hundred meters was cut off.

With golden light flashing, the shining body suddenly landed on the side of the giant tree.

"Bah!"

Two rock axes chopped on the ground, and the appearance of the forest king finally appeared in front of Nan Xian.

Axe Mantis!

The mantis, whose entire body seemed to be made of rock and was taller than an ordinary person and covered with sharp stones, was waving two black stone axes.

Although its general appearance is somewhat similar to the Sly Mantis that Nan Xian is familiar with, the Axe Mantis is undoubtedly more terrifying in terms of momentum. It responded with a violent aura when they first met, and immediately made Erguilang move actively to stand in front of Nan Xian and take out his thorn vine stick.

"Boni, Boni!"

Axe Mantis, level 56.

Nan Xian saw the opponent's rating level through the system interface.

As expected, it was indeed at a level almost the same as the Ground Wing, and this level was not only far beyond Jirachi, it was almost twice as high as the Uzumaki.

"…Evil Spirit, Foundation Stone Mask!"

however.

Nan Xian was not going to order Erguiliang to leave directly.

If he were to worry about the Pokémon not being able to perform and disregard the Pokémon's ideas when faced with a difficult situation, how would Nan Xian face the desire of Eruption to protect him?

It is an objective fact that the level of Eruption is not as good as that of Axe Mantis.

But this does not mean that Nan Xian, as a trainer, cannot make Uruk-Yo perform better. Even if he really cannot resist in the battle, he must at least let Uruk-Yo fight once!

"Boni-ao!"

Click!

The moment he finished speaking, Erguiyan had already taken out the Foundation Stone Mask from his pocket and put it on his face. His figure instantly radiated light and his outer clothes turned lime.

At this moment, the axe-splitting mantis swung its stone axe and chopped at him. Even though the axe blade was broken, the sharp axe cut through the air, and the sharp sound made Nan Xian feel even more creepy.

If you get hit, the consequences will be absolutely disastrous!

The crazy warning sound in her mind did not make Nan Xian panic. At this moment, the girl's face was as cold as ice, and a golden light suddenly appeared in her eyes.

"Evil Ghost!"

Under the hurried instructions, Erguiyan sensed that there was a thought connecting with itself at the same time. Without thinking, it followed the thoughts surging in its mind and immediately swung out the thorn vine stick.

Snapped!

When the normally powerful thorny vine stick hit the axe-splitting mantis, Ergui's body immediately moved backwards.

Nan Xian adjusted his position and saw two Pokémon passing by him. In a blink of an eye, Axe Mantis glanced over here.

boom--!

Nan Xian didn't think much about it and instinctively stepped on the ground. The sharp axe brushed against his face, and the airflow lifted his bangs, causing strands of white hair to fall.

"Boni-ao!"

Erguilang, whose body was pressed down by the single-edged stone axe, became furious. He gritted his teeth and forcibly lifted the thorn vine stick a little.

Because the Axe-Splitting Mantis was using another stone axe to chop towards Nanxian, its strength was dispersed and it was not aware of it for a moment, and Erguilang suddenly raised his foot.

Two consecutive kicks!

When the first kick landed on Splitting Mantis's body, Uruk-Yo had no idea that it was attacking the Pokémon. Instead, it felt like it was kicking a hard board, with no real sense of attack.

But after gritting his teeth, Erguiyan kicked out a second time, and this time it worked.

Axe Mantis took a step back.

His whole body turned into golden light, and the Forest King in his transformed form looked at Eruption again. He made a cross with his two stone axes and cut down suddenly.

"The thorn stick!"

Instructions and ideas are conveyed simultaneously.

Ergui's strength had just been used up, but at this moment, miraculously, a surge of strength emerged again. The thorn vine stick still in his hand turned upside down and hit the stone axe of the axe-splitting mantis.

Thorn vine stick versus cross shears!

The result did not exceed Nan Xian's expectations.

The thorn vine stick covered with dust was no match for the two stone axes. Although it had just blocked the attack of the Forest King, facing the Cross Scissors, which was an insect-attributed move of the Axe Mantis, the thorn vine stick, which was a rock-attributed move, could not gain any advantage.

The Axe Mantis used its full strength to strike and cut off the thorny vine stick cleanly!

This time, Ergui's move could be considered a failure, but the battle was not over yet. It was precisely because of the use of the thorn vine stick to block the axe mantis for a moment that the little evil ghost recovered and was able to launch an attack on his own.

"Boni-ao!"

Stomp your feet!

In the fast attack rhythm where one round is treated as two rounds, even if the level of Axe Mantis is far higher than that of Eruption, it is temporarily at a disadvantage and can only continue to take the attacks from Eruption's sweeping legs.

however.

There is no bonus from this system, but the stomping move, which doubles in power after the failure of using the Thorn Vine Stick, still fails to produce enough effect.

The Axe-Splitting Mantis stood upright, not taking a single step back, and launched a new offensive under the cover of golden light. The rock axe suddenly lit up with an ochre color, and it chopped down!

No matter how hard he tried to gain the rhythm and fight against an opponent beyond his normal capabilities, Erguiyan finally took the attack.

As the muffled sound was heard, Erguilang flew backwards with a cry of pain. He didn't even have time to adjust his body in the air, and could only be caught by Nan Xian with the Youyou Ball.

"……Thanks for your hard work."

Nan Xian adjusted his breathing, looked at the Youyou ball in his hand, and spoke to comfort her.

The Forest King, the Axe Mantis... is indeed the most powerful opponent I have encountered so far!

From the previous conversation between Zhubei and Kikui, Kikui mentioned that the Forest King's power was enhanced after being struck by lightning.

Nan Xian naturally knew that the lightning that struck Axe Mantis came from Giratina. No matter which Sinnoh Lord's true form the Pearl Team believed in was, it definitely wasn't Giratina.

However, as the lord of the reversed world with the same status as his two brothers, Giratina's thunder of anger actually strengthened the opponent in front of Nanxian a lot.

"Level 56... but his actual resistance is almost the same as if he had loaded a boss panel!"

The girl couldn't help but complain.

She seriously suspected that if the real level was really calculated, Splitting Mantis's level might be higher than level 56. It's just that this power comes from external forces, and it's not like Jirachi can fully control it after absorbing the energy of the Millennium Comet. That's why the system did not raise the level for Splitting Mantis.

Even so, the strength of the opponents Nan Xian has to deal with will not decrease in the slightest.

Eruption retained 1 HP due to its Sturdy attribute. After being put into the Poké Ball by the girl, it was Jirachi who took its place to stand in front of Splitting Mantis.

“Jila——!”

She is usually cute to everyone, a little shy, and a little naive.

Jirachi's face was serious at the moment, his hands were clenched into fists, and a silver-white glow surrounded him.

When it's time to get serious, Jirachi can get into the state faster than anyone else. Now, it is ready to connect with Nanxian.

Different from Eruption.

Jirachi is not gifted in terms of fighting instincts. It has been in a dormant state for many years, and its combat experience is pitifully small. Although it is not lacking in courage, if it fights purely based on its ideas, the actual battle scene will immediately turn into a fight.

——That look is cute, but now is not the time to see Jirachi being cute!

boom!

Not far away, the Axe Mantis was not at all confused by the disappearance of Erguilang. The moment the opponent disappeared, he turned the axe blade and rushed towards Nanxian.

“Jila~!”

A golden light flashed in Jirachi's eyes. In synchronized mode, it completely let go of the control of its body. Therefore, Nan Xian, who observed the attack of the Axe Mantis from two perspectives, instantly judged the opportunity.

The small fist was instantly filled with silver-white light, and in the air, it was like a comet. Jirachi's fist was stuck in the axe face at the moment when the Mantis Stone Axe fell.

“…Bah?!”

For the first time, the Axe Mantis made a puzzled sound.

The power surging from Jirachi's small fist was not as weak as its body size. With a comet punch, Axe Mantis was unable to hold the stone axe steady. Its body tilted and its flaws were revealed in an instant.

It's now!

It was difficult for Nan Xian to plan two moves at the same time, but Jirachi was not a complete bystander. The moment his thoughts were transmitted, Jirachi understood Nan Xian's thoughts. His eyes lit up, and the power of thoughts gathered on his forehead.

At the same time, a part of the silver light from the fist that had just swung the Comet Fist was intercepted and acted together on Jirachi's star-shaped forehead. An extremely powerful attack with pink and purple light was about to come.

Thought hammer!

The additional effect probability effect brought by the Tian'en characteristic successfully amplified the additional attack ability of Comet Fist, and Jirachi's attack caught the weakness of Splitting Axe Mantis and hit its chest, directly causing Splitting Axe Mantis to fly backwards!

boom--!

The Axe Mantis's body crashed directly into the trunk of a giant tree in the distance, and dust flew everywhere. Nan Xian didn't even wait for the dust to settle. He cut off the synchronization mode instantly and opened the waveguide vision to detect the results first.

However, after a moment, a transparent light flashed from the dust.

call out!

The transparent blade broke through the dust, and the invisible airflow turned into a slash that cut through the air. In less than the time it took to blink, it directly cut into Jirachi.

“Chi…Chila!”

Jirachi, who remained floating in the air, was forced to move several meters. Fortunately, the attack of the air blade did not last too long.

pat.

Not far away, the sound of the Axe Mantis falling back to the ground again reached Nan Xian's ears, and the girl frowned.

Opportunities like the one just now are extremely difficult to seize.

The advantage of the Forest King Axe Mantis is not just that its resistance to attacks increases significantly after being struck by lightning. Although its attacks are straightforward and it seems to have completely lost its mind, its reaction ability and instincts have not decreased in the slightest.

Nan Xian can seize the weakness of the Forest King, but correspondingly, as long as the opponent attacks once, the attack effect on Eruption and Jirachi will be extremely significant.

“Jila…”

Jirachi, who had just been slashed in the chest, stretched out his little hand, touched the wound with tears in his eyes.

It has the courage to fight, but the pain will not be relieved. Jirachi, who has not experienced many injuries, is distracted for a moment. In an instant, the Axe Mantis in the distance rushes forward again.

This time, the Axe-Splitting Mantis changed its moves again. The two stone axes were crossed, making it look difficult to block. The brown energy light lingering around its body made Nan Xian feel vaguely familiar.

"Fighting-type moves..."

The girl's thoughts raced, and the answer emerged in her mind.

——Close combat!

Perhaps it wants to capture the weakness of the steel attribute, although because of the offset of the psychic attribute, the effect of fighting attribute moves on Jirachi can only be said to be ordinary.

But even the air blade that is not of his type can make Jirachi cry, so how effective will this close combat move be?

Nan Xian finally stopped hesitating.

Even if you want your Pokémon to get as many opportunities to play and train as possible, it would be against your intention if you try too hard and end up causing the Pokémon to suffer serious damage.

Corresponding to the forward posture of the Axe Mantis.

The girl stomped the ground again and stepped back. She raised her hand and grabbed Jirachi, then hugged him and her in her arms.

“…Ji La?”

Jirachi originally mustered up the courage and wanted to continue fighting, but because of Nan Xian's actions, he could only squeeze together with Xie Mi who was hugged from the beginning.

From the very beginning, Shemyshang had curled up into a ball because of the arrival of the Axe Mantis, trembling with fear as if only his butt was showing. He didn't even want to show his eyes, so only Jirachi could see him.
