There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

In the lush forest, the two stood opposite each other.

Yifang was calm and composed, with her low-pitched baseball cap covering her eyes and the coat casually draped over her shoulders fluttering in the wind.

The other party, on the other hand, had a tense expression, beads of sweat dripping from his ears, and his slightly raised brows revealed his helplessness.

At the center of their confrontation, a four-legged Pokémon covered in spikes lowered its body, revealing its canine teeth, silently declaring war on the opposing Pokémon.

"It's time to end." The woman's right hand on her shoulder gently lifted up her coat that was about to slip off, and her bright red lips slightly opened.

"Stupid hippo, water cannon."

----

"Someone acting suspiciously?"

The woman smiled and waved her hand, taking a small step back to show her sincerity.

"Little brother, you think too much. I am just a traveler passing through this forest like you."

"A black cap with embroidery on the brim, a tall figure, and a coat draped over the shoulders." Xiao Ye raised his hand to block the woman's way, raised his eyes and smiled, "I don't know if you are skilled and daring or what, you didn't even change your clothes after stealing. Are you waiting for others to take you back to the police station?"

“Stealing…?” The woman raised her eyebrows and curled her lips slightly. “Don’t say that, little brother. I am 100% sure that you have found the wrong person.”

"Go and argue with Miss Junsha."

The Pidgeot that landed on Xiaoye's shoulder gradually faded away and turned back into the appearance of Ditto. It raised its hand to bite the blue tangerine fruit and bared its teeth to show its ferocious look while chewing.

"I believe that the man whose things you stole will call the police soon. You'd better not put up any unnecessary resistance and surrender."

"A man?" The woman's eyes flashed, and she asked with a smile, "Are you talking about the man holding a banner, wearing colorful clothes, and wearing a pair of round glasses?"

"Now you remember, robber?" Xiao Ye pressed on, "Do you need me to help you recall it?"

That's what happened.

After saying goodbye to the Kato couple, Xiaoye continued on his way to Golden City. When passing by a town, he was attracted by the hustle and bustle at the entrance of the Pokémon Center.

Just as I took a step towards it, I saw a beautiful figure running out from the crowd like light, lifting her legs and leaning forward to sit on a motorcycle not far away, and then she disappeared with a step on the accelerator.

Only the man standing at the entrance of the Pokémon Center, holding his chest with his hands, bent over, his face flushed, unable to utter a word.

"She, she, she..."

"What do you mean by she? Speak clearly."

The passers-by around him asked impatiently.

"She, she stole my..."

The man's face became increasingly red, almost the color of a tomato. He gave people the illusion that he would pass out if he said one more word.

Xiao Ye ran away when the man said this, following the woman's footsteps.

----

"Oh? It seems like everyone knows?"

After listening to Xiao Ye's statement, the woman did not show any guilt at all. Instead, she put on a slightly distressed expression, "It's even more impossible for me to go back with you. It will cause big trouble."

Xiaoye didn't even see her movements clearly, she just saw her coat flick, and a Poké Ball appeared in her palm.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry. Let's get this over with quickly."

As the Poké Ball exploded before his eyes, an oval-shaped Pokémon appeared in front of him.

After eating a blue tangerine fruit, Ditto, who had been ready for a long time, shook his head and thought he would be able to go into battle soon, and forced the blue tangerine fruit he had taken out to be put back into the trainer.

I waited like this for a long time, but the trainer didn't make any move.

Inexplicably, it patted the trainer's cheek gently, which brought Xiaoye back to his senses. The next moment, cold sweat covered his back.

Momentum has always been an extremely mysterious thing.

Just like Xiaoye, I believe that most people know the word "momentum" from novels or animations. Such visual descriptions can easily create an atmosphere and help people understand the emotional changes of the protagonist.

But as mentioned at the beginning, in Xiaoye's understanding, "momentum" has always existed in stories created by humans.

However, the moment the woman in front of him took out the Poké Ball, Xiao Ye actually experienced what the word "momentum" meant so truly.

Even when Xiaoye confronted, talked, and interrogated the woman face to face, her tone was always like a bottomless pool of water, gentle but hard to stir up a ripple.

Until the moment she took out the Poké Ball.

It froze quickly like a cold pond, and the fierce cold wind scratched the faces of those present.

The corners of his lips, which had always been gently raised, suddenly lost their temperature, and the last few words he uttered made Xiaoye feel cold all over.

She is very strong, perhaps stronger than anyone Xiaoye has ever met.

----

The Pokémon sent out by the woman was Metagross, a two-shelled Pokémon with both water and ice attributes.

Ditto, who was anxiously preparing to fight, was about to jump off the trainer's shoulder when he was pulled back by his trainer's words.

"Nidoran, please!"

Nidoran, who had joined the battle, landed on the ground and stretched his body. He did not turn around until he felt relaxed all over. He gave a smile to the petrified and stiff Ditto.

Sorry, please wait for the next one~

On the battlefield

After waiting for a long time, the Metapod opened its double shells and revealed an evil smile with malicious intent.

Xiao Ye tensed up and gave the order quickly.

"Nidoran, poison needle!"

Nidoran condensed a large number of poisonous needles from the horns on his forehead and flew towards Metapod.

When facing the oncoming poison needle, Metapod did not panic, but laughed with even more disdain.

Seeing the poison needle getting closer and closer, the woman who had her arms folded around her body did not utter a word.

Xiao Ye couldn't help but frown when he saw his opponent's attitude.

Was it just his own illusion? Was the woman in front of him not as strong as he imagined?

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"

The noise on the battlefield drew Xiaoye's attention back. After the smoke and dust produced by the poison needle explosion dissipated, the Ironclad with its double shells closed slowly opened its shells, once again revealing the evil smile that had never disappeared since the beginning of the battle.

The poison needle...has no effect at all against the amazing defense of Metapod!

But Xiao Ye was more afraid of the woman's nonchalant attitude than the difficult defense of the Iron Shell.

Does she...know that Metapod will take appropriate measures in response to this attack, or does she believe that with Metapod's strength, there will be no negative impact even if she is poisoned?

No matter which one it is, it can verify that Xiaoye’s initial hunch about her was correct, her strength is unfathomable!

For this reason, Xiaoye decisively gave up the head-on collision which was a foregone conclusion and glanced sideways at the abundant trees around him.

"Nidoran, jump onto the tree."

Nidoran used all four of his legs to jump and crawl repeatedly with the help of the branches on the side of the tree, and soon disappeared into the tree canopy and hid.

"Poison needle!"

The poisonous needles that covered the sky fell from the air like a rain of arrows. A little sunlight shone through the leaves into the forest, and the thin needles shining with light purple venom fell rapidly from high to low.

The Ironclad Clam, who had not seen any new tricks, used the same old trick to close its double shells again, and the clanging noise once again echoed throughout the forest.

"Right now, double kick!"

Nidoran leaped down from the tree canopy, and using gravity to extend his hind legs, he struck towards the Metapod that was still keeping its double shell clenched on the ground.

I have to say that this attack was very clever. How could the opponent, Metapod, defend against such an order?

Should I open my shell, abandon the solid protection and move to dodge, or should I continue to use my defense to resist this attack?

No matter which method Metapod chooses, the initiative of the battle will temporarily slip away from Metapod's hands and fall under Nidoran's feet.

"Aurora Beam."

Xiao Ye, who had a beautiful plan, ignored the woman who was silent but still paying attention to the battle on the field.

The little thoughts of a novice trainer are as transparent as can be in front of a woman, and can be easily seen through.

Finally hearing the command, Metapod slowly opened its shell and grinned at Nidoran who was unable to make any evasive moves in the air.

Xiao Ye suddenly shouted when the rainbow light was about to hit Nidoran at a speed beyond the visibility of the naked eye.

"Two consecutive kicks aimed at the tree trunk!"

Nidoran twisted his body in the air, and pushed hard with his hind legs to successfully avoid Metapod's attack with the reaction force, but he also deviated from his original path.

"Nidoran, consecutive double kicks!"

With the help of dense tree trunks and overlapping branches, Nidoran, who grew up in the grassland, actually experienced the joy of the forest, and with each kick he was as agile as a monkey monster.

"Freezing light."

This was the second time the woman spoke during the fight.

It was still a short move name, but Metapod on the battlefield understood it and shot an extremely cold ray of light towards the tree trunk without much instruction.

The light condensed into frost the moment it hit the tree trunk, and then turned into a layer of solid ice covering it.

The place where Nidoran landed was covered with ice, and the moment his hind legs touched the tree trunk, he fell down irresistibly, without even having time to push off hard.

The woman's eyes were as cold as ice, and she watched indifferently as Nidoran fell heavily to the ground, with dead leaves and dust flying everywhere.

Nidoran fell to the ground and struggled to stand up, but the moment he looked up, he saw a beautiful rainbow light shooting towards him.

"Who's next?"

The woman looked away and continued, "It's okay to play with you, but I hope you can show some skills that I can accept."

The woman's words inevitably disturbed Xiao Ye's mind. After taking back Nidoran who was unable to continue fighting, he took a deep breath before sending out his next Pokémon.

"Green Ivy Snake, the opponent is very strong, don't underestimate him."

The Green Ivy Snake that completed its evolution not long ago appeared on the field. Although it has completed its evolution, its little habits have not changed. It still likes to stand on the field with its hands folded and examine its opponents.

"Pokémon from the Unova region."

The woman's venomous eyes quickly identified the source of the green vine snake, and after making a sound, she returned to calm.

"Ivy snake, vine whip!"

After receiving the order, the green vine snake did not attack directly, but first glanced at Xiaoye for a moment, and after confirming what the other party was thinking, it stretched out its vines and pointed straight into the sky.

The vine whip was waving wildly in the tree canopy, and countless leaves fell from the branches, completely obscuring the figure of the green vine snake for a moment.

Metagrome couldn't figure out the opponent's intentions, and without the trainer's command, it could only make defensive preparations. It immediately became alert, and its double shells trembled slightly, ready to close at any time.

Two or three seconds later.

The dense leaves gradually disappeared, and the figure of the green vine snake finally appeared in front of the two.

But at the same time as the green vine snake appeared, there was also a huge beam of energy. The scorching and dazzling beam made the woman involuntarily lower the brim of her hat again.

"Aurora Beam."

The "Sunshine Flame" with such energy naturally could not be resisted by the "Shell Shrinking". The Ironclad, who had been ready to dodge, gave up the prepared escape technique the moment he received the order. He opened his shell and shot out the Aurora Beam from his slender horns, confronting the Green Ivy Snake head-on.

The huge explosion made people's eardrums burst, and the flying dust completely obscured the situation in the field.

"Ye Baofeng!"

The strong wind brought up by the leaf storm flew towards the Ironclad along with the leaves, blowing away the smoke and dust while intending to give it a heavy blow.

But after the smoke and dust cleared, the Iron Shell, which was supposed to stay where it was and not be able to move, disappeared, leaving only a stretch of frozen ground!

"Green vine snake, sideways!" Xiao Ye quickly locked onto the whereabouts of the Ironclad Shell based on the direction of the frozen road and commanded, "Blade Leaf!"

The leaves on the tail of the green vine snake glowed green, and as the green light gradually covered the leaves, they seemed to become a little bigger.

Then it leaped high into the air, curled up its body, and smashed the blades at its tail into the bushes where the ice path disappeared.

"Ivy snake, vine whip!"

The emerald green tail leaves were just a decoy. The green vine snake quickly used the vines to hook onto a nearby branch and swung a short distance, narrowly avoiding the Ironclad Shell's long-planned freezing ray.

"Go ahead, use Leaf Storm!"

The green vine snake climbed up the branches with the help of the vines, waved again to summon leaves, and attacked the iron-clad shell in the direction of its gaze.

However, the perfect sneak attack failed because Metapod erected a transparent wall of light in front of it. All the leaves quickly lost their edge after hitting it and fell to the ground, losing their effect.

The moment the last leaf fell, the tip of the iron shell glowed again.

Aurora Beam is about to launch another attack!

"Whip!" Xiao Ye added, "Help it change direction!"

The vines stretched out to the body of Metapod and wrapped around it, and with a strong pull, the Aurora Beam lost its aim and flew diagonally into the sky.

"Next move, blade leaf!"

The tail of the Green Vine Snake turned emerald green again, and it adjusted its posture as it fell from the treetops, curling its tail back and hitting Ironclad in the face.

The Iron-clad Shell did not dodge or evade, and a column of water as wide as a bucket shot out from the tip.

The special moves of the Pokémon of both sides created a brief standoff, but compared to the effort of Snake gritting its teeth, Metagross, who was now leisurely and even able to force a smile, was clearly able to handle it with ease.

However, the vines of the green vine snake hanging on the ground trembled slightly.

In the blink of an eye, the vines that were thought to be invincible rose up again from the ground, and struck down fiercely when the armor shell was unable to move or resist.

The crisp sound was accompanied by the explosion of the air, flying dead leaves and splashing soil.

"Next one."

The woman raised her chin, and the glasses hidden under the brim of her hat reflected the light.
