I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

The sandstorm swept through, and in its hand, it condensed into a huge rock spear. The sharp ends still flashed with cold light even in the dim sandstorm.

"Roar!"

With a roar, he aimed at Togekiss, who was flying in the air with a panicked look on his face as if to say "Ah? I'm going to hit Banguirus", and threw the sharp stone in his hand fiercely.

"Come back, Togekiss!"

Of course, Zhulan couldn't just watch her Pokkis being killed instantly by Banguirus.

She raised her slender arm, brought back the flying Togekiss, and threw out another brand new Poké Ball with her backhand.

"Bu~yi!"

A light cry, a soft appearance, and a touch of refreshing blue and white appeared among the dim sandstorms covering the sky.

It has a fox-like appearance, light blue fur all over its body, and drooping ears that look like a winter hat.

The latest Pokémon sent out by Ran is the evolved form of Eevee, the ice-attribute Glaceon!

call out!

The sharp stone attack thrown by Bankiras tore through the sandstorm and hit Glaceon directly the moment it appeared.

"babble!"

Without even a trace of mercy, the cute-looking Glaceon just appeared and took the attack from Bankiras instead of Togekiss.

It screamed and fell from the sky to the ground. On the way, the hail blowing through the sky hit it.

These bullet-sized hailstones caused further damage to it, as it was not a Rock, Ground, or Steel-type Pokémon.

Fortunately, although Glaceon is an ice-attribute Pokémon with very poor resistance, its physical defense racial stat is as high as one hundred and ten!

After taking a sharp stone attack from Bangiras and being scratched by hail, it fell to the ground but did not lose its combat capability immediately. Instead, it still retained a trace of physical strength.

"cloth......"

Unable to even utter an "Eeee" sound, Glaceon, whose body was covered in wounds from the hail of various sizes that blew across it, stood up from the ground in a mess.

Its physical strength is already like a candle in the wind.

call......

However, the good news is that at this moment, the sandstorm blowing across the sky slowly subsided.

The dim color that covered the sky gradually faded away, and the blue sky reappeared above everyone's heads.

The sandstorm stopped.

The props he carries are not sand rocks that can extend the number of rounds of the sandstorm, so the sandstorm caused by Bangilas's own sand-blowing characteristics can only last for five rounds.

As Togekiss left the field, Bamboo Shoot replaced Glaceon to block the attack. The sandstorm that was stirred up when Bankiras first came on the field also officially expired, and the field became weatherless.

Despite this, when everyone saw that the battlefield had become an alternative "desert venue" in the five-round sandstorm, with the ground covered with a thick layer of sand and hail, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that Bangilas' title of "Sandstorm King" was well-deserved.

"Banguiras, use Iron Head!"

Pointing at the crumbling Glaceon standing in the distance, Aisha once again gave the order to attack.

"Roar!"

Taking a step forward, an ear-shattering roar came out of Bangilas' mouth.

Just like how Mega Lucario had just killed Shiny Gengar with a headbutt, a layer of silver-white metallic coating emerged from the top of Banguilas's head.

It ran forward with big strides, roaring and snarling, using all its strength to deliver this Iron Head Attack to Glaceon.

"Come back, Glaceon."

With a frown on her face and a distressed look, Zhulan, who was still beautiful, immediately took back the Glaceon, who was seriously injured and whose strength was already at the end of its strength.

She didn't want to sell Ice Eevee, but wanted to delay the number of rounds in the space.

As long as she can drag out these five rounds of Trick Space and then time the game to bring Mega Lucario into play, she can reverse the situation again and gain the advantage.

and so.

"Please, Flower Rock Monster!"

A black and green dark ball fell into Zhulan's hands, and she threw it forward with force.

"whee......"

Laughing darkly, the Pokémon, also known as the Ghost Pot, appeared on the field, using a cracked keystone as a flowerpot and the purple gas gushing out of the cracks in the keystone as flowers. Countless green points of light swirled among the purple flowers. Its "face" was made of this green substance.

Bang!

The next moment, Bangiras, dragging a silver-white light, rushed in front of it and smashed its metal-coated head heavily.

"laugh--"

Ghost and Dark-type Grunts are neither immune nor resistant to Steel-type moves.

Although he was not able to kill Lan's Grunt with one Iron Head like Mega Lucario killed Shiny Gengar instantly.

However, Bangilas's iron head still knocked the body of the rock monster and the "flower pot" under it away for dozens of meters.

"laugh......"

After falling to the ground, the Flower Rock Monster rolled over and over for more than ten times before it stopped by using the flower part of its "face" to support the ground.

"Go on, Bankiras, use Earthquake!"

Not caring about Zhulan's rotation and joint defense, nor caring that the number of rounds in the magic space had quietly passed under Zhulan's rotation and was about to end, Aisha once again gave Bankiras the order to attack.

"Roar!"

With a roar, Bangilas swung his tail behind him and slammed it to the ground.

Rumble!

Violent earthquake waves, carrying heavy ground-attribute energy, swept out from under Bangilas' body and hit the rock monster that fell in the distance.

"Come back, Flower Rock Monster!"

Looking at the earthquake waves sweeping in from afar, Zhulan thought for a moment and decided to save the highly functional Flower Rock Monster first.

After all, Glaceon is really useless in this battle.

Rather than letting Globule, which is slower than Bankiras, attack first with the help of Trick Space, and then give Bankiras a scratch before being killed by Earthquake, Ran is more inclined to sell Glaceon, which is useless and has little stamina left, and keep Globule, the auxiliary hand that may be useful later.

So, just before the earthquake hit, Ranjire took back the Glaceon, which was hit to low health by Bankiras's Iron Head, and then threw out the Glaceon's Poké Ball again, sending the Glaceon, whose health was already at the bottom of the wind, back into the field.

"cloth--"

Rumble!

Before he could utter a word, the Glaceon that was sold fell under the earthquake caused by Bankiras.

"babble......"

After weakly yelling out the unfinished second half of the chant, Glaceon staggered and fell to the ground, losing his ability to fight.

"Thank you for your hard work, Glaceon."

Behind it, Zhulan took it back with a guilty look on her face.

"This is a necessary sacrifice."

Zhulan lovingly stroked Glaceon's Pokéball with her fair jade fingers, and smiled shyly at the pokemon that was unconscious in the ball.

Immediately, the Sinnoh Valkyrie once again displayed a look of confidence.

She took the Poké Ball of Glaceon, which had lost its ability to fight, in her hand, raised her head, and looked straight at Aisha who was standing behind Bankiras.

At the same time, with the fall of Glaceon, the five rounds of Trick Space opened by Shiny Gengar officially ended.

hum!

The strange buzzing sound once again reached everyone's ears.

A magical light appeared between heaven and earth, and slowly dissipated, restoring the bizarre time and space to normal, and the Pokémon's speed was no longer reversed.

"The magic space is over."

With a burning gaze, Zhulan stared into Aisha's eyes, and the smile on her lips changed from guilt towards Glaceon to confidence in this battle.

"Coach Ai, I admit that you caught me off guard by having Gengar use Trick Space, but that's all."

She took out Mega Lucario's Poké Ball and tossed it into the air again.

"Luca!"

Amidst Zhulan's confident smile, a flash of light appeared, and Mega Lucario, as handsome and cool as a fighter, reappeared on the field.

Zhulan only paid the price of a Glaceon to use up the five-round Trick Space that Aisha had finally opened.

Now, the Trick Space ended and everything returned to normal. The high-speed Lucario was able to enter the field safely after Glaceon fell.

At this moment, the scene on the field was once again a Mega Lucario versus Banguirus scene, but Aisha's backline no longer had a Shiny Gengar who could defend against Mega Lucario's quick close combat...

"You lose, Coach Ai!"

Zhulan raised her slender arm suddenly, pointed forward, and her beautiful gray eyes bloomed with brilliant light.

She gave the order to attack, her tone passionate and excited, as if victory was just around the corner.

"Lucario, use close combat!"

“Luka—!!”

With a roar, Mega Lucario clenched his fists.

The invisible shackles that originally bound the body were removed, and the agile body once again regained its previous speed. It jumped up, and under Zhulan's command, its limbs were covered with pure white light. It rushed out like a gust of wind and pounced straight towards Bangilas.

"Oops."

Sitting next to Rika in the special audience seats, Caidou showed a panic expression on her face when she saw Mega Lucario taking action.

"Isn't this the same as before?"

indeed.

The trick space ended, and Bangilas could no longer overspeed Mega Lucario. No one in Aisha's team could withstand this close combat.

"Hmm~"

With one hand supporting her face and leaning lazily on the table, Lijia looked at Mega Lucario, who was dragging a pure white light belt in the air and swooping towards Banguilas, with a quite calm expression.

"is it?"

She murmured in a voice that only she could hear.

"I think Ai Jun's plan wouldn't be that simple."

"Come back, Bangilas!"

As she muttered to herself, Aisha on the field also took out the Poké Ball and took back Bangiras who was about to be killed by Mega Lucario's punch.

"uh-huh?"

Seeing this, Zhulan over there smiled playfully.

In her opinion, even if Aisha substituted Bangilas now, it would just be a last-ditch effort.

His team no longer had any means to counter the high-attack and high-speed Mega Lucario.

"..."

Without saying a word, Aisha put away Bankiras's Poké Ball and threw it backhand, the sixth Poké Ball he had thrown in this battle.

"Oh?"

When Zhulan realized that this Poké Ball was not any of the ones Aisha had thrown before, her expression changed slightly.

"Have you finally sent out the last Pokémon?"

Frowning slightly, Zhulan looked at the Poké Ball spinning and flying into the sky, feeling a little uneasy.

After the example of Bankiras, she was now really afraid that Aisha would pull out a new Pokémon she had never seen before from somewhere.

It's not impossible. After all, he is Aisha, and he can always do some weird and cruel things.

If he really took out a Pokémon that could withstand Mega Lucario's close combat, Zhulan's mentality would really explode.

Fortunately, under Zhulan's uneasy gaze, Aisha, who appeared from the Poké Ball, used the sixth Pokémon in this battle, which was Umbreon.

"Bu~yi!"
