Pokémon the Movie: Pallet Town Rookie

The giant mantis was hit by the earthquake and retreated repeatedly before it could barely hold on, breathing heavily with some effort.

Shingo, looking at the state of Mantis, smiled and said, "Not bad, this attack can actually cause 41% damage to Mantis. However, now my computer has discovered the weakness of your hypnotic powder ring. Mantis, use the cross scissors and attack!"

Xiao Yuan heard Shingo's order, smiled, and said, "Still thinking of a close combat attack! It's useless, Bulbasaur, keep using Earthquake and block it!"

Following the trainer's order, the Giant Claw Mantis launched an attack as fast as an arrow from a bow. Its figure flashed, like lightning across the sky, and it rushed straight towards Venusaur, its claws flashing a dazzling yellow light, gathering endless power, as if it was going to kill with one blow.

At this moment, Venusaur showed no fear. Although the speed of the giant mantis was amazing, it had no choice but to face the powerful range attack skill like Earthquake. Venusaur resolutely raised its thick front legs and stepped forward again. In an instant, a surging earthquake wave spread rapidly in all directions with overwhelming force.

Seeing the fierce earthquake wave approaching rapidly, the giant claw mantis waved its extremely sharp claws without hesitation, performing the cross-cutting skill, and slashed at the ground fiercely. In an instant, the two powerful forces met on a narrow road, and a thrilling and fierce confrontation unfolded. Along with the powerful shock wave generated by the mutual cancellation of the two attacks, a strong wind whistled up, sweeping around like a storm. This sudden strong wind blew away the hypnotic powder that Venusaur had previously spread without a trace.

Shingo saw this long-anticipated situation and immediately seized the opportunity and said, "As expected, Mantis, now is the time. Jump into the air and use the Bullet Punch on Bulbasaur!"

Seeing Mantis jumping up again, Xiao Yuan smiled evilly, raised his hand confidently, and said, "Oh, it jumped again, but this time it's almost the same, Venusaur, crazy machine!"

As the crazy machine started, an extremely powerful force erupted from Venusaur's body. This force was like a volcanic eruption, instantly causing a shocking change in the entire battlefield.

Suddenly, huge vines burst out from the battlefield as if they were cast by magic. These vines soared into the air like giant dragons and swooped directly towards the giant mantis in the air. They were so fast that they seemed to tear through the void and bring devastating blows to the enemy.

Faced with such a terrifying attack, Mantis instinctively wanted to dodge. However, it found itself in an awkward situation. After evolving into Mantis, its wings had degenerated. Although it could still fly with the help of wind, this advantage was obviously insignificant in front of a battle-hardened opponent like Venusaur. After all, Xiao Mao also had a Mantis, and it had no idea how many battles it had fought with that guy.

Venusaur knew the habits of the giant mantis very well, so it deliberately left a few vines to cleverly block the flow of wind, thus completely blocking the giant mantis's retreat. At this moment, the giant mantis had nowhere to escape and could only watch the vines getting closer and closer.

At this time, Xiao Yuan showed a smug smile, and he laughed, "Haha, Mantis, your struggle is in vain! When you decide to jump up, you are doomed to be unable to dodge my attack. Yes, in the air, my earthquake skill is indeed ineffective against you. But don't forget, you are not a real flying Pokémon. Without the support of the ground, how can you dodge my attack in the air?"

At this time, Shingo also laughed and said, "Hahaha, waiting for Mantis to jump up, and then using a high-damage move like Crazy Machine to try to kill it with one blow, it's a good plan, it's really a good plan, but unfortunately the human brain is still the human brain, it can't compare to the computer. If Earthquake can hit a critical hit, it is indeed possible to defeat my Mantis. What a pity, what a pity, Crazy Machine is a grass-type attack after all, and Mantis is four times resistant to grass. Your plan failed after all. Otherwise, how could the computer let me jump up?"

Sure enough, although the giant mantis was hit by several vines, its expression was extremely painful and its body was shaking constantly, but it showed no signs of falling down. After all, it had four times the resistance to grass, and this crazy machine could not defeat it with just one hit. However, due to the impact of this crazy machine, the giant mantis's fierce attack on Venusaur was abruptly interrupted. At this moment, it could only quietly resist Venusaur's attack and wait for the opportunity to land and counterattack.

At this time, Shingo smiled again, and he said confidently: "It's just as I expected, Xiaoyuan. Even if your Crazy Machine triggers a critical hit, it can only cause 56% damage to my Mantis at most. It is absolutely impossible to defeat it completely! Moreover, after using the Crazy Machine, your Bulbasaur will be unable to move for a period of time. During this period of time, I'm afraid you may not be able to withstand Mantis's counterattack!"

Xiao Yuan looked at the giant mantis in mid-air and smiled, "Oh! Really? Then let's wait and see!"

After a while, with the end of Bulbasaur's attack, the vines that rose into the sky disappeared in an instant, leaving only a series of holes in the venue, making the ground bumpy.

At this moment, Shingo immediately seized the opportunity and said, "Now is the time, Mantis, after landing, immediately get close to Venusaur and use two consecutive slash attacks!"

When the giant mantis heard Shingo's words, it nodded immediately. It began to quickly gather strength in the air, and a dazzling light instantly surged onto the giant mantis's pincers.

Xiao Yuan, who was standing by, heard this and shook her head helplessly, sighing, "Hey, he's still thinking about counterattack! This computer nerd has no idea what's going to happen next. Just enjoy the trap I left for you!"

Sure enough, just as the giant mantis landed, the ground beneath its feet suddenly seemed to lose its support and began to collapse in all directions. The giant mantis could not stand firmly on this shaky ground and could only helplessly fall down with the collapsing ground.

Shingo was shocked when he saw this. He looked at the computer and checked it in a panic: "What, what is going on? How is this possible? How is this possible? Why is this happening? There is nothing in the computer at all? Could it be..."

At this time, Xiao Yuan also smiled and said softly: "Haha, silly boy, you don't really think that I released so many earthquakes in a row just to launch an attack? My real purpose is to loosen the soil of this land! Oh, of course, if there is only loose soil but lack of sufficient space, it is still impossible to create this situation. The pits left by the use of the crazy machine just make up for this last step. Now, your giant mantis can't even move, so how can you attack?"

Then, when Venusaur finished recovering, Xiao Yuan gave the order without hesitation: "Now is the time, Venusaur, seize the opportunity to give it a fatal blow, use Earthquake!"

As Venusaur stomped his feet again, a powerful shock wave swept towards the collapsed area in front like a surging wave. This blow was like a thunderbolt, instantly knocking Mantis away, making it completely lose the strength to continue fighting.
