Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

Yang Xiao's fingertips twisted lightly, and the thought in his eyes gradually faded away.

Faced with the double restrained energy damage, it was natural that young Kiras was inferior to the bear apprentice in the first confrontation.

But this also undoubtedly demonstrates the opponent's own strong strength.

Because it used its strength, which was considered top-notch among its peers, to tear apart the bear apprentice's skin defenses with its teeth, causing the latter to suffer the first bloody wound since birth.

As soon as Apprentice Bear tried to shake his arm, deep pain spread from the wound to his flesh and blood and to his nerves.

This made its nose wrinkle instantly, and it rarely showed its sharp teeth.

When I said before that training was the biggest injury in his life, it was somewhat of a joke.

But this was a real fight, and it felt such a clear pain—

This may be due to the lingering of evil energy in the wound.

All attribute energies will retain at least a small amount when hitting the body, but because of the protection of the epidermis, Pokémon cannot sense it most of the time.

But once flesh and blood come into contact, the pain will penetrate into the nerves, often with the special effects of the attribute itself.

For example, if fire energy touches a wound, it will cause it to burn; water energy will keep the wound moist, making it extremely susceptible to infection; grass energy will speed up the loss of the opponent's blood, and so on.

As for the effect of the evil system, it is also very simple, that is, the wound is difficult to heal.

"Snoring..."

Under the pressure of pain, the bear apprentice even changed his pronunciation, and roared low in his throat like a carnivorous beast.

"Calm down."

Yang Xiao immediately noticed the change in Apprentice Xiong's mood and said in a slightly serious tone, "As long as the difference in strength is not too big, you must keep your mind steady!"

The strength is not much different...

Just a few words made Apprentice Bear's whole body tense up instantly.

A strong desire to win instantly filled its heart, almost turning it into a volcano ready to erupt.

In the past.

It knows in its heart that no Pokémon of the same level has ever been able to match it in strength.

Looking at Apprentice Xiong's back, Yang Xiao slowly withdrew his gaze and sighed.

His Pokémon seemed to have trouble accepting the fact that it was injured in the battle.

Don't blame it, blame yourself.

Because he has become accustomed to overwhelming victories, even the current scene of "narrow victory" can no longer bring him any positive emotions.

But now is not the time to think about these things, because the young Kiras on the opposite side has already started moving.

It just doesn't look like it's rushing forward.

I saw young Kiras taking a deep breath, and some sand and dust were wrapped into his stomach. The khaki energy flowed through his body, as if he was preparing to release some kind of amplifying move.

"Huha."

The bear disciple, who was trying to put the emotions out of his mind, raised his paws and rubbed them against the ground.

Yang Xiao saw it all and understood that this was a hint from his disciple Xiong.

After all, it is impossible for you to turn around and communicate with your trainer during a battle, so various secret codes are also common in battles.

Naturally, he and his disciple Xiong also have it.

Rubbing the soles of your feet against the ground means you are about to charge.

This means that Apprentice Bear thought it was a good idea to go over and interrupt the opponent's release of his moves so as to seize the right moment.

But Yang Xiao narrowed his eyes and didn't speak for a while.

next second.

"Bear Apprentice, 'Scary Face'."

Apprentice Xiong really didn't expect this instruction.

But it did not feel the slightest bit of regret or doubt. Instead, it immediately stood firmly on its feet and quickly mobilized the general energy circulating in its body.

It hardly needed to adjust its expression, just wait for the energy to "circle" on its face in a special way, and a deterrent aimed only at young Kiras was released.

The boy's face changed drastically, and he said hastily: "Close your eyes!"

It's a pity it's too late.

The terrifying intimidation of his facial expression made young Kiras, who was just about to rush forward, pause for a moment.

"never mind."

Seeing this, the young man was secretly shocked.

Pretty smart.

He assured that young Kiras did not make any move forward just now, and his performance was very realistic.

Even the boy almost thought that young Kiras was really going to be strengthened.

But Yang Xiao did not choose to rush over to interrupt and seize the opportunity, but instead released a more conservative move that greatly reduced the speed -

Knowing that young Kiras is also better in close combat.

If you increase your speed, then my slowing you down is equivalent to creating distance between us and buying myself extra turns.

When you have finished the amplification, I will not lose even if I start the amplification round later, but it will just be another round of head-on confrontation.

If you are pretending to want to increase the speed and have other purposes... then once the speed is reduced, you have to change your plan.

The young man looked at Yang Xiao with his frown on his face.

Seizing the opportunity at the moment of the opponent's amplification is one of the most common tactics in battle, and Yang Xiao is obviously not a cowardly person.

This means that the other party still does this, and he must have discovered my little tricks from the slightest details.

It's a bit difficult.

The boy uttered a "tsk".

Young Kiras is in very average condition.

In the end, he still underestimated the power of the opponent's "tile-splitting" skill.

If he had known that young Kiras's physical strength would be depleted to this extent, he would definitely stick to his idea and let young Kiras avoid it as much as possible until the right opportunity came.

Today, young Kiras can still stand on the ground, and this is entirely due to the fact that the hill used to feed it was well chosen, and the nutrition it absorbed exceeded the normal standard.

Otherwise, he would have fallen into a coma long ago.

opposite.

Yang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that young Kiras wants to wait there for the bear apprentice to get close while the bear apprentice is charging... huh?

Yang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

Does this mean that, in terms of physical strength, young Kiras's loss of strength is more serious than it seems?

That being the case...

Yang Xiao suddenly straightened his back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then slowly reached for the lining of his shirt.

...

"Hoo ho."

The Taoist's eyes widened and he fanned himself with a cattail leaf fan very vigorously.

He was obviously watching it with great interest.

There is no signal on the mountain, and he is reluctant to spend money to connect an Internet cable. The few entertainment activities he has on weekdays are pickling pickles, which is low-cost and time-wasting activities.

Today, this little hobby has been strangled in the cradle by sharp words.

He had a premonition.

I'm afraid that every time he pickles vegetables in the future, Yang Xiao's devilish voice in a combination of Chinese and English will surround his ears 360 degrees.

and so.

No matter how strong the two teams are, being able to watch a fight is a good thing for him.

At this moment, the throwing monkey next to him suddenly raised his hand and poked the Taoist.

The Taoist turned his head and looked at him: "Hmm?"

The throwing monkey calmly gestured with his hands, then pointed at the two young men in front of him.

"Um……"

The Taoist held his chin and fell into deep thought.

After a few breaths, he shook his head: "I won't press."

"Monkey wisdom?"

The throwing monkey looked at him suspiciously.

You don't press?

I still remember that last time during the Pilgrims’ Battle, you won my tape recorder and sold it down the mountain for 65 yuan to buy a McDonald’s store to improve your life without letting me have a taste.

You say no pressure now?

"No pressure."

The Taoist said calmly: "I can't tell who will win."

In his opinion, if the game continues at the current pace, the outcome of the match between the two can only be said to be in Apprentice Xiong's favor.

But this is something that cannot be confirmed.

Because there is also the possibility of young Kiras counterattacking, and the probability is more than 30%.

This can only be blamed on Apprentice Bear’s defense not being outstanding enough.

Its strength is indeed much greater than that of young Kiras, but the opponent is also the same, just not as exaggerated as it is.

This was a fierce battle, and it was obvious that the trainers on both sides were aware of this, as could be seen from Yang Xiao's orders.

"It will probably take a long time to end the battle."

The Taoist shrugged his shoulders and said casually:

"As time goes by, there will be more changes, which I cannot predict, so I won't bet... unless one of them takes out the key item that determines the outcome..."

The words have not yet fallen.

The Taoist saw Yang Xiao take out a bracelet inlaid with gems.

He looked suddenly at the throwing monkey, and just as he was about to speak, he saw a pair of white fur arms pass by him and put a peach fruit in the throwing monkey's hand.

It is the hyperactive monkey who remains calm and composed throughout, and the hand gestures he is making at this moment.

Fourth brother, I’ll win against Yang Xiao.

The throwing monkey nodded, then looked at the Taoist whose mouth was twitching, and revealed an abnormally twisted and exaggerated smile.

It’s full, Master, you can only suppress the young man.

"…What are you betting on…"

"Monkey wisdom!"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the throwing monkey with bared teeth, looking at the Taoist excitedly.

I bet the money you hid in the cushions in your room...you are so poor, the gift money the boy gave you for your practice must have been another failed investment, right?

Can you give up your dream of stock trading?

The Taoist was silent for a moment and slowly looked away.

for a long time.

"Come on, boy!"

The Taoist took a deep breath.

He wanted to deny it, but the throwing monkey had already placed his hands on his shoulders and even squeezed them gently from time to time.

will die.

The Taoist was sweating profusely, knowing that he would definitely die if he refused to pay his debt.

next second.

He stood up suddenly, and instantly transformed into the two-dimensional WOTA art communication ambassador, waving the palm-leaf fan in his hand as if it were a cheering stick.

He shouted with all his strength, veins visible, but tears were already flowing from his eyes:

"Young man, please protect my last nine hundred and forty sixty yuan in cash, please!"
