Elf, I am really a farmer

It's only been a short time, why did the strength of this giant mantis increase so quickly? It's totally unscientific!

Given how much Wen Qi loves Pokémon, he definitely won't absorb items to improve the Pokémon's strength at the expense of its potential.

As mentioned before, you can improve your strength by absorbing items, but doing so will result in a loss of potential.

It is like if one's original qualification is dark green, after absorbing props, the qualification may turn into green.

Even if this can improve your strength, it will become increasingly difficult to improve on your own in the future.

Although Zhou Zhiwen thought Wen Qi would not do this, he still couldn't help but ask.

"Boss Wen, you wouldn't use props on the giant mantis, right? You should know that doing so will damage the giant mantis's potential."

Wen Qi then understood that Zhou Zhiwen believed that the giant mantis's strength increased so quickly because it used props.

So he said:

"How is that possible? Megalania is my trump card Pokémon. I am eager to see it continue to improve its potential. How could it do something that would harm its potential just to improve its strength?"

After hearing Wen Qi's answer, Zhou Zhiwen became more and more curious. What method did Wen Qi use to increase the strength of the Giant Mantis so quickly without wasting its potential, and even break through the bottleneck and be promoted from the elite level to the gym level.

Just when Zhou Zhiwen gritted his teeth and was about to get to the bottom of the matter.

Wen Qi also realized that if he continued to be asked like this, his little secret would be exposed, which was not acceptable.

We have to find a reason to interrupt this discussion.

Thinking that the two Pokémon were about to fight, he quickly spoke in advance:

"Okay, Captain Zhou, let's go over and take a look. They're going to start fighting soon."

Wen Qi's words interrupted Zhou Zhiwen who was about to continue asking questions.

Zhou Zhiwen opened his mouth but ultimately did not ask any further.

He also felt Wen Qi's rejection, and what Wen Qi said was indeed the truth. The two Pokémon were really about to fight, and the momentum even affected the villa.

So he hurriedly walked out of the villa with Wen Qi and rushed towards the giant mantis.

In other words, the giant mantis listened to Wen Qi and usually trained far away. Wen Qi and Zhou Zhiwen walked for several minutes but still hadn't arrived.

At this time, the giant claw mantis and the fire-breathing dragon are on the verge of a battle.

Both of them stared at each other with their eyes wide open, full of hostility, emitting a fighting aura so strong that it seemed to be materializable.

The Charizard launched the first attack. It opened its bloody mouth and suddenly spewed out an extremely hot flame. The flame was like a violent and ferocious fire dragon, rushing towards the giant mantis with its fangs and claws.

However, the giant mantis showed no fear. It flashed like a ghost, avoiding the fierce flames at astonishing speed and appeared beside Charizard in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the giant mantis swung its huge and sharp pincers and used the "cross scissors". The pincers cut through the air, making a sharp and piercing sound of breaking wind, and cut fiercely at the wings of the Charizard.

Charizard reacted extremely quickly, flapped its wings violently, flew into the air, and easily avoided the fierce attack.

Afterwards, it circled in the air and gathered fire energy in its mouth again. This time, the flames it spewed out were more violent, forming a surging sea of ​​fire in an instant, covering the giant mantis below like an overwhelming force.

Faced with the blazing sea of ​​fire, the giant mantis showed no intention of retreating. It ran quickly on the ground, dodging left and right. Its agility seemed like it was dancing in the sea of ​​fire, and it was not hurt at all by the flames.

Then, it seized the opportunity, kicked its legs hard, jumped high, rushed towards the Charizard in the air, and at the same time performed the "bullet fist", with its fist fired out as fast as a bullet, hitting the Charizard's abdomen solidly.

Charizard felt the pain and let out an angry roar. Its claws instantly flashed brightly, and it used its "dragon claws" to grab the giant mantis fiercely.

The giant mantis had no way to dodge in the air and was hit by the fierce claw, and its body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

But the moment it landed, it quickly adjusted its body shape and rushed up again without hesitation.

At this time, Charizard was completely enraged. It took a deep breath and then suddenly spurted out a huge whirlwind of fire. The "flame vortex" swept towards the giant mantis madly.

The giant mantis's speed advantage was fully utilized at this moment. It dodged left and right, avoiding the core area of ​​the flame vortex, but its body was still touched by the flames, leaving some burn marks. The burned areas sizzled and emitted wisps of black smoke.

However, the Giant Mantis did not retreat. It took advantage of the gap when Charizard was using its moves and approached it quickly at lightning speed, using the "continuous cut" move. Its pincers attacked Charizard's legs continuously like a phantom.

Charizard's movements were affected and its speed was slightly slowed down.

Charizard realized that the situation was unfavorable to it, and its whole body was burning with flames. It performed the "Big Character Explosion Flame" skill, and the huge "Big"-shaped flame rushed towards Mantis like a tidal wave.

The giant mantis knew it couldn't dodge, so it gritted its teeth and rushed forward. Its pincers glowed with metallic light, and it used its "metal claws" to collide head-on with the big word Explosion Flame.

After a violent explosion, smoke filled the air, covering the sky. When the smoke slowly dissipated, the giant mantis was seen covered with scars, cracks appeared on its originally smooth shell, and blood oozed from the wounds, but its eyes were still firm, as if burning with an unyielding flame.

Charizard's breathing was a little disordered due to the continuous use of powerful moves. He was breathing heavily and the flames on his body were no longer as strong.

Giant Mantis seized the opportunity and launched another attack. It rushed towards Charizard like lightning, and its "high-speed movement" instantly increased its speed to the extreme.

Charizard had no time to react and was hit by Giant Mantis.

But Charizard was not to be outdone. It flapped its wings vigorously and a powerful airflow was formed instantly. The "storm" blew Mantis off its feet and swayed in the air.

The giant mantis tried hard to stabilize its body and continued to attack.

Charizard spewed out flames again, and the "Jet Flame" went straight towards Giant Mantis.

With its super fast speed, the giant mantis dodged sideways nimbly, then rushed to Charizard, swung its pincers vigorously, and "chopped" Charizard hard.

Charizard fell to the ground injured and tried to struggle to get up.

The giant mantis did not give it a chance and rushed forward again, using its last trick "Swallow Return".

It turned into a black shadow and hit the Charizard in an instant.

This time, the Charizard was no longer able to resist and fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Although the giant mantis was also seriously injured, it finally won the victory with its tenacious will and excellent speed.

When Wen Qi and Zhou Zhiwen arrived, the battle was over.

They looked at the scarred but still majestic Giant Mantis and the fallen Charizard, both of them were anxious and worried.

They hurriedly walked to their respective Pokémon. Wen Qi's Titania was in good condition. Although it suffered some fire damage, it was able to withstand most of the damage thanks to the protection of the special metal film. It only needed a good treatment and would be able to recover soon.

Zhou Zhiwen's Charizard is in trouble. It has several wounds on its body and blood is gushing out. Now it has fainted. If it is not treated, its life will be in danger.

The strength of the two Pokémon is not much different. Although Charizard is of a higher level and its attributes can restrain Mantis, Mantis has high qualifications and rich combat experience, which makes the strength of the two Pokémon evenly matched.

Therefore, in the subsequent battles, both sides had no way to hold back and had to go all out, which led to the current situation.
