I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

"boom--!!"

"Oh!"

The huge rock knocked the shiny metal monster away and it fell back to the ground.

However, the shiny metal monster that fell to the ground looked indifferent and was not injured at all.

On the other hand, Boscodorus was hit hard by the earthquake of the Shining Metal Monster, and it fell to the ground in a very embarrassed manner.

"This defensive power..."

On the hidden stands, Qinglv frowned and looked at Aisha's shining metal monster.

During the Evergreen Gym Challenge, this Pokémon did not play because Aisha's Charmeleon suddenly evolved into Charizard.

but......

As a 'cultivator', Qinglv could see that this shining metal monster possessed such powerful physical defense, probably because it carried the evolution stone.

"Tsk~"

Qinglv smacked her lips.

"This is too cruel..."

"That trainer's strength is quite good." Chihong looked at Manchong expressionlessly, then locked his gaze on Coach Ai again and said, "However, he is far inferior to Coach Ai in all aspects."

"After all, he's someone Daigo likes..."

On the court, Boscodora stood up dazedly, his steps staggering.

Even with its physical defense, it was a little overwhelmed by the two earthquakes from the Shining Metal Monster.

"it's good now."

Man Chong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Boskodora, use Earthquake with all your might!"

"Metal monster, we're doing the same here, full-force earthquake!"

Aisha smiled and followed Manchong's instructions.

At this moment, the eyes of the Shining Metal Monster and Boskodora met in the air.

The next moment, two pairs of arms fell almost simultaneously onto the ground beneath their feet, which was on the verge of breaking.

"Boom——!!"

Two destructive forces spread out in one breath, confronting, corroding, and exploding!

“Me-ta-!!”

"Boss!"

The Shining Metal Monster and Boskodora, who had lost their electromagnetic levitation, were caught up in the roar of the earth.

Amidst the rumbling earthquake, the teeth-grinding sound of steel rubbing against each other came from the two of them, and the crumbling rubble and the spread of smoke and dust obscured the situation on the field.

"Oh?"

Xiaogang couldn't help but stick his head out to take a look.

As a master of rock attributes, he admired Manchong's excellently bred Boscotarla very much.

Finally, after the roar of the earth stopped, the smoke and dust gradually settled.

On the field, Boscodora was lying among the gravel, with its head barely exposed and its eyes closed, making it easy to see its condition.

In a contest of strength and defense, it lost to the Shining Metal Monster...

There was a thunderous applause from the audience.

The semi-finals started off so intensely, with eye-catching head-on confrontations, which made the audience's emotions excited to an outrageous level.

Some people lament that a quasi-god Pokémon is still a quasi-god Pokémon after all, and it still has considerable strength even in the second stage.

Some people say that this is clearly the credit of Coach Ai. It seems that in the end it was a head-on confrontation between Boskodora and Shining Metal. In fact, Coach Ai had already commanded Shining Metal to hit Boskodora with Earthquake twice before. Boskodora, who was four times weaker than the ground, could not withstand the third Earthquake no matter what. On the other hand, Shining Metal was only shot down by a double-resistance, which was not very powerful, before the confrontation. Winning the duel was a foregone conclusion.

In the distant Hoenn region, Daigo was also following this battle.

Seeing Boscodora fall under the attack of the Shining Metal Monster, his face was full of emotion.

"Coach Ai is indeed Coach Ai."

Daigo smiled, but he was also satisfied with Manchon's training of Boskodora - it was not shameful to lose to Coach Ai.

These two Pokémon sent out from his hands are now following the right trainers and have powerful strength.

"Boskodora has lost its combat ability. Players please change Pokémon!" The referee's voice came from the TV.

"Oh?"

Daigo watched with interest as Manchong retrieved the defeated Boskodora and threw out the second Poké Ball.

A familiar figure appeared in front of Daigo.

On the field, Aisha looked at the newly released Pokémon and raised an eyebrow.

It looks ferocious, wearing red armor, a yellow five-pointed star on its head, and two large pincers that make a "clicking" sound when clamping.

This is a lobster!

"Lobster, knock it down!"

Man Chong gave the order.

Seeing that his own Boscoto was being scraped to death, Manchong roughly guessed the props that Coach Ai's shiny metal monster was carrying.

Take it down first!

"Metal monster, bullet punch!"

Aisha frowned and directed the metal monsters to attack.

The iron claw lobster does pose a certain threat to the metal monster.

"Ao!"

As soon as the lobster appeared, the invisible rocks on the ground hit it, slowing down its attack speed.

Then, a UFO-like shiny metal monster came shooting out like a real bullet, punching the lobster in the face and making it stagger.

The shot fell and nothing was hit...

"Metal monster, thunder fist."

Aisha smiled.

Our own Shiny Metal Monster also has plenty of ways to deal with the Iron Claw Lobster.

“Me-ta-!!”

An extremely brilliant electric light burst out from the right arm of the shining metal monster.

It smashed it at the lobster that was losing its balance.

"Not good!" Man Chong was shocked.

"Lobster, water jet!"

"Ao!"

The lobster leaned sideways and raised its claws. A stream of water pushed it forward at an extremely fast speed, smashing into the fist of the shiny metal monster.

"Zi!"

The shrimp claws wrapped in water collided with the iron fist wrapped in lightning.

"Oh!"

A small explosion exploded above the fists of both Pokémon, sending them both back several meters.

"The adaptable iron claw lobster has a really impressive attack power."

Aisha observed from behind that the Shining Metal Monster was in relatively good health, and thought to herself, "If it uses two moves, the item it carries isn't the usual fancy headband, but..."

An answer appeared in her mind, and Aisha looked at the full-fledged lobster.

Sure enough, after the lobster stood firmly, a trace of barely perceptible pain appeared on its face.

This is not the aftereffect of its fight with the Shining Metal Monster, but the consumption of its physical strength by the Life Orb.

"it is good......"

As his mind flashed, Aisha read out new instructions.

"Metal monster, earthquake!"

Don't say it, really don't say it.

The earthquake trick is really useful.

When a physical attacker is afraid to fight in close combat, Earthquake is its best choice.

“Me-ta-!!”

The Shining Metal Monster smashed his fist down very skillfully.

Manchong commanded the lobster to use the slapping move again.

"Ao!"

The mighty and domineering lobster waved its two big claws and ran wildly without fear of death.

It withstood the violent earthquake and chopped down the shining metal monster with its claws wrapped in dark evil energy with great momentum.

"Bang!" With a dull sound, the big pincers hit the top of the shiny metal monster's head.

The silver-white steel monster crashed directly into the ground.

Then, it exploded into a cloud of smoke...

"what?"

Man Chong was stunned.

"A stand-in! Who would have thought that the shiny metal monster that's been entangled with the Ironclaw Lobster is actually just a stand-in!" The commentator, who had been holding back for a long time, shouted, "When did Coach Ai's shiny metal monster use a stand-in, and where is its real body hidden?"

Before the commentator finished speaking, the pile of rubble five meters in front of the lobster began to move.

"Metal monster, thunder fist."

"Zi!"

Aisha's command caused the pile of rubble to explode with a ball of lightning. A silver-white shadow wrapped in lightning whizzed out and slammed into the head of the lobster before it could lift its claws, hitting the huge yellow five-pointed star.

"Ao!"

“Me-ta-!!”

The Iron Claw Lobster was knocked to the ground by a punch from the Shining Metal Monster, and the Life Orb's attack again put its physical strength into a state of being a candle in the wind.

"how is this possible?"

Manchong couldn't help but exclaim.

The same was true for Xiaogang in the audience.

He widened his squinting eyes and asked, "How come the Stand didn't hurt the original body when it used the earthquake?"

This is also what most viewers are confused about.

As we all know, the disadvantage of large-scale moves such as Earthquake and Surf is that they do not distinguish between friend and foe.

At this moment, Professor Oak smiled and turned on the microphone, saying, "Contestant Aisha's Metal Monster probably activated Earthquake immediately after defeating Boskodora, while its main body hid in the rubble left by the previous earthquakes. I wonder if you noticed, but when Metal Monster used Earthquake on the Ironclaw Lobster, the ground-attribute energy didn't spread out uncontrollably like in the previous times. Instead, it was carefully gathered in front of the Metal Monster, spreading out in a fan-shaped pattern. This just avoided the main body hiding directly behind the Stand, creating a perfect cover effect... This is a trick that can only be mastered after mastering the technique and controlling the energy to a certain level."

Professor Oak answered everyone's questions like a teacher teaching his students.

The audience first looked as if they had suddenly understood something, and then a series of exclamations and praises reached Aisha's ears.

"so amazing."

"How does Coach Ai train Pokémon?"

Hearing this question, Coach Ai smiled with a complicated expression.

Controlling the scope of earthquakes is a skill from the 'Secret of the Earth'.

Back then on the new island, Sakaki had used this trick against Coach Ai.
