The world of hardcore Pokémon can also be very warm

"Block it!"

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

The Ax Splitting Mantis smashed all the reflected stone blades into pieces at an unnatural speed.

"It swings two such big axes, but it's quite flexible unexpectedly. This Pokémon is really interesting!" Peter smiled and said, "But the stage has been set, let's dance, ice-walking doll!"

I saw the ice-stepping doll with its hands on its lower back, speeding away as if it were on skates, and from time to time it would make difficult spinning and jumping movements.

"Ice-Stepping Doll...I see, this is the origin of its name!" Yang Yan suddenly understood.

In an ice and snow environment, maybe the Ice-Treading Doll might really be invincible.

"It's a pity that we underestimated the axe-splitting mantis..."

Yang Yan made a knife with his hand, "Cleave axe, mantis, rock axe, destroy the ice!"

The Ax-Splitting Mantis roared, raised the ax high, and then dropped it heavily.

boom--!

The sound of cracking was dense and spreading, and the ice covering the entire field collapsed directly under this blow!

"How can it be!!!"

Peter's eyes widened, and the ice-walking doll didn't even come to his senses.

incredible. This was not something that could be accomplished simply by using brute force, and Peter finally showed a fearful look.

"Ice-walking doll, let's do it again, the freezing wind..."

"There won't be another chance, Axe-Splitting Mantis, move at high speed!"

After the test is over, Yang Yan will not give the opponent a chance to restore the venue.

I saw the axe-splitting mantis arriving in front of the ice-walking doll in the blink of an eye, at a speed much faster than before and on a path whose trajectory was impossible to determine.

The two axes slashed horizontally, as if they were going to cut the enemy in half.

But the ice-walking doll is not a vegetarian, and its combat experience made it subconsciously raise the ice staff in its hand.

call--

The powerful force stirred up dazzling wind and waves.

The first face-to-face encounter ended in a draw...

No, the ice-stepping doll retreated! It lost to the axe-splitting mantis in strength!

"Triple Spin!" Peter shouted.

Triple spin attack? What skill is this?

Just when Yang Yan was confused, the ice-walking doll suddenly aimed at the ax tip of the axe-splitting mantis and kicked it three times in a row. It flew out in an instant and opened the distance again, causing the axe-splitting mantis that was about to continue chasing to move. One stop.

"This is... an advanced version of the two-hit combo?!" Yangyan found that his eyes were half-covered and quickly made an inference.

"New skills, great experience!"

It feels really uncomfortable to watch the ice-walking doll move away again.

Peter was relieved, but only relieved.

After a brief battle, both sides truly understood the true strength of their opponent's Pokémon.

Peter didn't dare to be careless, "The power of that Pokémon is really terrifying. If it takes one hit, the Ice-Stepping Doll won't have to fight!"

Ice-walking dolls are not good at defense, especially physical defense. This is not a big deal, after all, the main focus of the ice-walking doll is long-range.

But that requires the assistance of the Ice Field.

In this way, the Ice-Treading Doll can take advantage of its flexibility.

But this trick has been cracked by the opponent.

So the strategy suitable for ice-walking dolls now is...

"Ice-walking doll, spiritual venue!"

A light colored light suddenly swept across.

"If the ice field doesn't work, why not switch to a super field?" Yang Yan snorted coldly, "Chop the mantis with an axe, chop it in succession, and break it into pieces!"

It is perfect for the insect type to restrain the super type and even cut through the mental field.

But just as Axe-Splitting Mantis was preparing to take action, a new order came out.

"Wide area combat power!"

There was a bang, and the Ax-Splitting Mantis was pushed away with great force.

"Wide area combat power? What kind of skill is this?" Yang Yan frowned. The scene just happened so fast that he only saw a flash of light.

A wide range of skills? But if it is released so quickly, why is it still so powerful?

The plan was ruined twice in a row by skills he had never seen before, and Yang Yan felt a sense of crisis.

"It's over, this scene is about to end..."

In the player area, Gao Hai sighed.

"But to be able to compete with Pokémon I've never seen before and with unfamiliar skills is already very impressive."

Qianli didn't look worried, he felt like he understood something, "The Ax Mantis should be responsible for 'finding the way', otherwise I really wouldn't have thought that Yang Yan insisted on using the Ax Mantis despite the level difference. reasons."

Yes, the strength level of the Ax-Splitting Mantis is not as good as the Ice-Stepping Doll. The Ice-Treading Doll is at the mid-level of the Heavenly King, while the Ax-Splitting Mantis is still far behind.

Of course this doesn't mean it can't be fought. That is to say, Qianli knew that Yang Yan had many stronger Pokémon, so he was confused at first.

Gao Hai and other people who had limited knowledge of Yang Yan, including the audience, commentators and even Peter himself, did not think there was anything wrong with the level of the Ax Mantis.

As the battle lasted longer and longer, and the situation became more unfavorable to Axe-Splitting Mantis, Qianli became a little more firm in his guess.

On the court, Yang Yan's expression also reflected this.

Although Axe-Splitting Mantis was constantly injured in the rain, snow and hail weather, and continued to be harassed by the Ice-Stepping Doll from a distance, and was passively beaten most of the time, Yang Yan still didn't show much emotional change, nor did he change Pokémon. Like a dream.

"I have to admit that the Ice Walker is indeed a very strong Pokémon!" Yang Yan, who felt that he had thoroughly figured out the Ice Walker's abilities, finally commented.

The superpower makes up for the shortcomings of the scattered output of the ice system and helps the ice-walking doll concentrate its power. Not only the power of the attack, but also the power of the "ice path" it steps on.

There was no way to cover the entire field with ice, but it only covered his feet and the path of movement, and there was nothing the Ax Mantis could do about it.

Although Yang Yan has tried to use his own prediction and the high-speed movement of the acrobatic skills of the axe-splitting mantis to pursue him, he can only guess correctly in a few cases.

He wanted to attack, but he couldn't catch up or hit him. The situation naturally turned into a tug of war.

Until the rain stops and the ice stops...

"The final blow is here. Ice-walking doll, predict the future, activate!" Peter smiled proudly. In the first game of the first game, I was going to win it.

But at this moment, Yang Yan’s voice sounded immediately,

"Axe-splitting Mantis, the opportunity has come, Sandstorm! Go!"

The ground surged, and the swamp turned into ooze, galloping and spinning, protecting the Axe-Splitting Mantis, blocking attacks from all directions from the foreseeable future, and at the same time leading it straight to the location of the Ice-Treading Doll.

"what?!"

An incredible swamp tornado enveloped the ice-walking doll's head.

Even though the ice-stepping doll was surprised and tried its best to dodge, it was unable to dodge in the end. It was knocked down by the axe-splitting mantis that fell from the sky and struck hard with its double axes.

And the moment it fell, the ice staff that first resisted the ax broke into pieces.

"Strengthen your mind and use all your strength!" Peter was ready to fight and ordered a desperate blow.

Colorful light erupted, and the two Pokémon were enveloped in it. But no one looked away.

Until they saw the scene where both Pokémon fell to the ground.

"perish together?"

"Is it a draw?"

"No, look..."

At this time, the commentator and referee's voice sounded, "The Axe Mantis loses its ability to fight, and the Ice-Stepping Puppet wins!"

As his voice fell, the ice-walking puppet slowly stood up.

But it looked very miserable, its body twitching, and it was obviously seriously injured.

"You were too badly injured to kill the Ice-Treader in one blow? What a pity." Yang Yan took out the Poké Ball and took the Pokémon back. "But you've worked hard, Axe Mantis. You did a good job. Now let your companions take over!"

Yang Yan could accept whether he defeated his opponent or not, as this was not his purpose.

Qianli guessed that the Axe Mantis was a "cannon fodder for exploring the way". Although this was partly true, it was not absolute. Yang Yan's purpose in choosing the Axe Mantis was not so simple...

"Peter, Peter, Peter!"

"come on, come on, come on!"

The congratulations reached a climax as the ice-walking puppet stood up, and Peter regained his initial confidence.

"I am indeed stronger!"

"If you want to celebrate, wait until you beat me completely. The game has just begun!" Yang Yan slowly took out another Poké Ball, "Pay attention, I'm going to be serious!"

"Nidoking, prepare for revenge!"

“Nido——!”

Powerful roars erupted, and the ice-walking puppet, which had just recovered a little, became shaky again.

"Ice-walking puppet, you should take a rest first!"

Nidoking, who is in the late stage of the King of Heaven, is no longer something that the seriously injured Ice-Walking Doll can deal with. Peter will not let the Ice-Walking Doll be consumed here in vain.

"Slowpoke, this battle is yours!"

boom--!

"Slowpoke... Galar form of Slowpoke looks like this! Interesting!"

The Slowpoke in front of him was very different from the Slowpoke in Yang Yan's impression. If it weren't for the obvious combination of Slowpoke and Shellder, and the same name, Yang Yan probably wouldn't have recognized it.

"The shell is not on the tail but on the hand, which is not a big deal. What I don't understand is where the purple color comes from? Could it be that its attribute has changed to poison?"

Just as Yang Yan was speculating, the referee announced the start of the game.

Whether there is poison or not, Nidoking is not afraid!

Yang Yan raised his right hand, "Nidoking, Quicksand Hell!"

The venue, which was destroyed beyond recognition by the swamp stirred up by Axe Mantis, began to spin faster and faster under the power of Nidoking, and was about to swallow Slowpoke.

Peter was unhurried, "Strong Mind!"

With the help of its super powers, Slowpoke slowly floated up.

Peter added: "Weird spell!"

Yang Yan frowned, "Another new skill?"

Not understanding the effect of this strange spell, Yang Yan could only watch the skill being activated without knowing how to counter it.

Slowpoke's murmurs echoed, and the effect of the skill began to take effect. Nidoking looked down at his body and felt that some of the energy in his body was missing.

"Nido?"

Yang Yan quickly analyzed, "No injuries? It seems to be a transformation skill... Wait, why is the effect of Quicksand Hell weakened?!"

With Nidoking's strength, if it does not take the initiative to stop the quicksand hell, it will be difficult to interfere unless it destroys the venue with great force.

But this scene happened.

Although I don't know what happened, it's obvious that it must be Slowpoke, and that inexplicable strange spell that caused it.

"The body-fixing method!"

Unable to figure out how the strange spell worked, Yang Yan could only choose to seal it up.

The next second, they both shouted at the same time: "Surf!"

A turbulent current of water formed under the feet of the two Pokémon, and they rushed out with a roar.

Nidoking pulled himself back into line with the opponent, and electric light condensed on his hands.

No need for Yang Yan's order, the Thunder Fist is ready to go.

In the perception of Yang Yan, Nidoking, and even other people in the Pokémon League, Slowpoke has water attribute. Although the Slowpoke in Galar seems to look a little different, it does not mean that the attribute has definitely changed, so Thunder Fist is still a very suitable move.

"Armshell weapon!"

Another sound of releasing a new skill was heard, but Yang Yan chose to remain as he was.

The two waves collided with each other, merged, and then dispersed.

The two Pokémon above the water also punched out and attacked face to face.

The only difference is that one is a body of flesh and blood, and the other is an arm covered with shells.

Water splashed, lightning burst, and drops of purple gradually spread from the shell to Nidoking's hands.

poisonous!

Nidoking subconsciously prepared to withdraw his hand and opened his mouth, ready to fire 100,000 volts.

But at this moment, a supernatural power destroyed the water flow under Nidoking's feet, disrupting its balance, forcing it to stabilize its body first.

But Slowpoke was relentless and raised its shell-covered arm to smash down again.

I thought I would be able to hit it successfully this time, but I didn't expect Nidoking to swing his tail back and hit Slowpoke's feet first, sending Slowpoke flying.

"What a quick reaction! This Nidoking..."

Peter subconsciously compared it with the retired Axe Mantis and found that Nidoking's combat experience seemed to be much higher than that of Axe Mantis!

The most important thing is that after the "Surf" sound, he never heard the opponent trainer give any new instructions, which means that Nidoking had to deal with everything on his own.

"Come again?" Peter exclaimed.

Because he saw that Nidoking actually launched a new attack while blowing Slowpoke away and falling down.

The freezing cold light came straight at him, and its direction was not affected at all.

"Power Gem, block it!"

At the critical moment, Slowpoke in the air seized the opportunity and used a beam of light to block the freezing ray first.

But it could not prevent itself from being pushed further away by the power of the freezing ray.

At this time, Nidoking had already landed.

The turbid sludge spread out, instantly eroding the land between Nidoking and the landing point of Slowpoke.

The sludge wave spread so quickly that Peter didn't even have time to react.

With a splash, Slowpoke fell into the purple mud.

"The power of the earth!"

Yang Yan's long-awaited command sounded, and Nidoking stepped down hard. Suddenly, mud surged out from the place where Slowpoke was, completely covering Slowpoke.

"Damn it, Slowpoke, what are you doing? Come out now!" Peter exploded and yelled.

His words really work.

There was a loud explosion and Slowpoke "broke out of the ground"!

The most important thing is that it should have been covered with mud, but now it is completely clean.

"This control ability must be from the Psychic Department. Is the guy opposite really a Psychic Specialist?"

"Galar really took good care of me by preparing such a tough opponent for me right from the start..."

Yang Yan took a deep breath.

"But never mind. The probing work is basically over. Next, it's time to even the score..."
