Everyone else is a trainer, but you are a swordsman?

The illusion suddenly shattered.

Feng’s eyes blurred and he returned to the real world.

The cold and darkness came again, the torch in Feng's hand had fallen to the ground, and ice chips were everywhere. It was obvious that the first battle in the illusion just now was not completely fake.

Next to Feng was Magura, who was sleeping with a big bump on his head. In front of him were several of Feng's men, and their own Pokémon, such as Electric Spider, were also immersed in dreams.

Ursagi, Gyarados, Windsprite, and Tantalus had also left their Poké Balls. They probably ran out in a hurry after seeing Feng and Magna fighting, but now they were all lying on the side, sleeping soundly, snoring with snot bubbles coming out of their noses.

As for the shield sword monster in Feng's right hand, the blue light in his eyes was extremely strong, and it was obvious that he had already output his spiritual power to the maximum power...

However, it is not a Pokémon known for its psychic power, and the development of its spiritual power is still in its early stages. It is still very difficult for it to fight against "professional" ones like the Dream Demon on the spiritual level.

And on the opposite side.

It was a dream demon that had some injuries on its body and was getting up.

From its enchanting ruby, crimson threads emanated, connecting the people and Pokémon present like strings controlling a puppet...

But the two strands connected to the blade and shield sword monsters had just broken off and turned into red fragments that disappeared into the air.

"Mmm~"

The Dream Demon showed an expression of pain on his face, and the light of a ruby on his body dimmed slightly because of the attack of the Shield Sword Monster.

Feng then looked at it and opened the property panel.

Champion...champion qualification!!

Feng's breathing was a little rapid.

It’s been so long. I didn’t expect that the first champion I met in Sinnoh would be here!

It is worthy of being the special Pokémon in the anime that can instantly kill Ash and his crew, as well as the three members of Team Rocket.

The terrifying illusion talent!

No wonder it was able to attack Feng's team on its own. If Feng had not successfully found the flaw, it would probably have fallen to the side and fallen asleep like everyone else.

But soon.

Feng calmed down, frowned slightly, and looked at the dream demon with a solemn and focused look in his eyes.

Then, he tightly grasped the shield sword in his hand, exerted force with his right arm, and swung it again!

"Shadow Blade!"

In an instant, another purple-black light gushed out from the sword and rushed straight forward.

The sword light cut rapidly in the air. As the shadow blade flew forward, the surrounding air was stirred restlessly, and faint whistling sounds could be heard.

"Woo!"

The floating dream demon was startled and dodged the sword by leaning sideways in a panic. A tree behind it was hit by the sword energy and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

It seemed that this dream demon was only good at illusions and not at combat. After the illusion was broken, it suddenly became a little confused.

"Uh..."

Just as the dream demon was regrouping and preparing to fight back, the ruby on its body began to shine again.

Suddenly, an even more dazzling white light burst out in front of its eyes, and the human opposite it was wearing a pair of...sunglasses?

"flash!"

A dazzling white light emanated from Feng's body, like a sun in the darkness. The eyes of all creatures looking at him were instantly stung, and they all felt tears flowing from their eyes...

Feng originally learned the skill of flash specifically for the purpose of escaping. By causing the enemy to temporarily lose their sight due to the unexpected strong light, he could take the opportunity to slip away.

But in the previous operation, they encountered Miyano's Lucario. Under the lock of the wave force, the flash was completely useless, so it was put on hold.

"Woo!"

The dream demon screamed, and all he saw was a vast expanse of white. He could no longer see anything else, and his head felt a little dizzy because of the sudden bright light.

But when its vision had just recovered a little, a huge sword energy was already close at hand...

……

Not long after, the dream demon lost its ability to fight and fell to the ground with circle eyes.

"Try it, go ahead Poké Ball."

Feng looked at the unconscious dream demon and threw the ball casually, hitting it accurately.

Feng saw the skill of the skill machine on its attribute panel and guessed that it was most likely a Pokémon with an owner, so he just tried this ball out.

But after being hit, the Dream Demon instantly turned into a red light and was absorbed into the ball. The Poké Ball stopped moving after shaking a few times.

"Huh, it's ownerless?"

Feng picked up the Poké Ball and muttered to himself as he looked at the sleeping Dream Demon inside, "Could it be abandoned? But who would abandon a Pokémon with championship potential?"

"Could it be..."

He suddenly had a terrible thought, "Did this guy kill the original owner and then run away?"

"Ma~"

Just as Feng was thinking about the possibility of this dream demon, Malanla, who was still dreaming next to him, suddenly murmured something.

The red lines on the Pokémon and several people had disappeared as the Dream Demon was captured, but they were still sleeping due to inertia and had not woken up, and were still snoring.

Feng shifted his gaze to the people and Pokémon lying on the ground, sighed heavily, and his expression became a little ugly.

"Ugh!"

did not expect……

A mere dream demon almost wiped out the team he had painstakingly assembled.

Although you can find some excuses to justify yourself, such as "my Pokémon's mental strength is weak", "I was caught off guard by the surprise attack", "this dream demon's talent in illusion is too strong", etc.

But the facts are right in front of us, and the excuses are weak...

The time when I dealt with the phantom monster, I was just lucky enough to escape, and then I hid in the dark like a mouse in a ditch, using the tiger's claws to kill the cat that was targeting me.

But a mouse is still a mouse.

If I really face him head-on, even with my current strong army and numerous forces, I will definitely be unable to fight back. Just look at the gym leader-level dream demon this time.

originally.

Feng also felt in his heart that he, together with Xiaozhen and Fujikawa, had four gym leader-level Pokémon as a foundation, and he might even be able to defeat a quasi-king-level trainer.

But reality was like a basin of cold water, ruthlessly extinguishing his fantasy.

Can I really fight against quasi-kings like Huan Yao and Miyano?

No, it's still too far away!

Being able to escape by chance is a great victory, so how can we talk about facing the enemy head-on?

The gap in hard power cannot be made up. No matter how good the conspiracy and trickery are, they can only hide underground like rats. Once they are exposed to the sun, they may be destroyed...

If.

Facing Dan Emperor and Charizard in the illusion aroused Feng's fighting spirit and he resolutely embarked on the road to the top.

This "defeat" made him realize the countless difficulties and obstacles on his way...

How can it be described with just one word “difficult”!
