Chapter 640 "Earth's Membrane"!

...

Fight strong Pokemon.

Pokemon Natsu is already very tactical.

Alakazam unfurls the "Psychic Terrain".

Steelix is ​​slower, so Pokemon can relax a bit more.

It's just that his large size and thick metal body are a little helpless for Beedrill, who is good at finding the target's weaknesses.

But the main strength of this battle is definitely not the physical attack type Pokémon with suppressed attributes like Beedrill but relying on the special attacks of Alakazam and Togekiss.

"Chaa!"

Togekiss's eyes were sly, and two "Air Slash" swung.

Which was the official start of this battle.

peng~peng~!

With Steelix's sheer size, Togekiss' "Air Slash" is hard to miss.

Only.

Togekiss' vaunted "additional effect" didn't work this time.

The difference in strength was part of the reason.

In the process of evolving into Steelix, the pain that turned the body from stone to metal, undoubtedly greatly increased willpower.

Togekiss' "Air Slash" is not without its downsides when it comes to strong opponents with willpower and weak strength.

"Steee-!!"

But even though there are no additional effects, special attacks can indeed cause a certain amount of damage to Steelix.

Even though it doesn't hurt too much.

Feeling the pain, Steelix's already bloodshot eyes became even redder.

Evolving from Onix to Steelix, this Pokémon's personality also becomes more irritable.

Centered on one of the segments, the body begins to rotate slowly, then faster and faster.

The gravel and debris around it were all moved by Steelix's body for a while, and the "Sandstorm" environment appeared.

Alakazam has a bit of starlight on his body, and the "Magic Guard" keeps him unaffected by the Sandstorm.

The spoon in his hand buckled, and a torrent of Psychic radiated from him, sinking into Steelix's body.

Immediately before his eyes, several images of Steelix's next move started flashing.

"Zaam!"

The Psychic Threads that spread out were pulled, Togekiss body was pulled, and a sturdy and sturdy tail swung out from the "Sandstorm" that formed a tornado, with a rich metallic luster.

Luckily, under Alakazam's pull, Steelix failed to deal any damage to Togekiss.

Because the flying height in Rayquaza space is limited, even if they are flying in the air at this time, with Steelix's length and size, they are still within his attack range.

After pulling the Togekiss, Alakazam condensed "Psychic" again.

Tzzzzzzzz ——

Beedrill moved into the Sandstorm, the electric currents on his wings were inexplicably pulled, and the arc of the jump pointed to the center of the Sandstorm.

The next second.

Steelix, enveloped in electromagnetism, suddenly emerges from the Sandstorm with limited visibility.

Of.

Fly out.

Steelix, wrapped in an electric current, uses the move "Magnet Rise", which is enough to allow him to move freely through the air for some time.

Tzz—

Beedrill flinched, dodging the attack.

Red compound eyes Locking Steelix, Boss's aura surging, resisting a portion of the damage from Sandstorm, whole body wrapped in dark red airflow, Twineedle slowly scrubbing.

Ready to go.

Bang!

Togekiss' "Aura Sphere" hits Steelix in the head, knocking him to the ground.

One could see Steelix's ferocity rising again, his tail swinging in the air, carrying a Sandstorm and imposing manner unmatched, moving towards Togekiss.

Body Press!

A move that completely relies on its own defense to deal damage, and it is also one of the favorite moves of Steelix, a Pokémon with great defensive power.

But facing that shock, Togekiss didn't panic.

The next moment.

The positions of Togekiss and Aegislash have been swapped.

"Ouch!"

Aegislash patted his own shield, with a halo flowing over it.

King's Shield!

Bang——

The huge and heavy force instantly pushed Aegislash back wildly.

But Steelix has no intention of stopping.

Aegislash stared.

This was also the first time Aegislash had been destroyed like this while in shield form.

Although it has the protection of "King's Shield", it doesn't do too much damage, but it also makes the shield very uncomfortable.

Not to mention the ridicule.

But Steelix attacks Aegislash blindly, giving the other three Pokémon an opportunity.

Togekiss attacks "Air Slash" again.

But it was swept away by Steelix's tail, and was destroyed directly.

Steelix's movement speed is slow, but that doesn't mean that his attack frequency is slow in his attack range.

Ding—! !

Using Steelix's tail to destroy "Air Slash", Beedrill brushed against Steelix's body, creating a sharp metallic impact.

Two alternating white marks were left on Steelix's body.

"Steee-!!"

Despite his high physical defense, Beedrill's attack power should not be underestimated.

Steelix loosened up a bit in pain.

Allows Aegislash to take a breath.

But Natsu who saw this scene frowned.

"A normal Steelix's defensive power shouldn't be that strong."

Beedrill's attack only left two white marks.

Natsu's Beedrill is not a normal Beedrill.

Meanwhile.

Alakazam's thick "Psychic" also hit Steelix one after another, and combined with Beedrill's power, it knocked him out of the air.

bang! !

A large portion of the dust had once again been raised in the sandstorm-filled basin, and cracks had spread all over the ground.

As soon as Aegislash landed, unwillingness appeared in his eyes, he immediately turned to the blade, turned into an afterimage, and entered into the scattered dust.

Dentang Dentang –! !

Louder metal crashes and scrapes sounded, and as Aegislash flew backwards, the dust that filled it also dissipated in an instant like a normal explosion.

See you.

Where Steelix fell to the ground, a silver white metallic mass was spinning in its place.

Gyro Ball!

Aegislash was also in the process of defending against the Gyro Ball, and was sent flying by the immense force of the heavy body.

With Steelix's slow speed, "Gyro Ball", slower speed movement makes stronger formidable power, can be used to the fullest.

"Chaa!"

Togekiss halves "Air Slash" again, but only scatters on contact.

Beedrill couldn't find a good point for a while.

Only Alakazam's "Psyshock" can deal some damage to him.

But only after slowing down Steelix's rotation did it return to its original state.

The current Steelix is ​​like an indented tortoise shell, which is powerless.

And.

Steelix who was attacked by Alakazam was no longer spinning in place.

The electromagnetism still wrapped around him.

It actually slowly floated up, moving towards the Pokémon and rushing at it.

In the face of this situation, no one can resist steel, and can only dodge with the advantage of speed.

It's not just a tortoise shell, it's a type of tortoise shell that bounces when you touch it.

Too many.

Natsu also felt a headache watching this scene.

Steelix is ​​very strong.

It should also be considered a relatively prominent existence at the quasi-Elite level.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to occupy a place under the absolute dominance of the three Aggrons.

But the biggest headache for it is the lack of power of the two special attack Pokémon, Alakazam and Togekiss.

Want Megas?

Natsu has the Keystone in his pocket.

Provided that Alakazam Mega with the ability Mega Alakazam can do enough damage.

"Ouch!!"

But before Natsu made up his mind, Aegislash who was swept away by Steelix let out a dissatisfied voice.

At the moment.

The bold and cautious look in his eyes changed rapidly.

Obviously, the shield was very dissatisfied with the way the sword was shrinking with fear at this time. Previously, the sword did not have time to show strength and was suppressed by Steelix with absolute strength and weight. .

The two Pokémon's consciousnesses switched rapidly, and one another was also in contention.

Natsu's eyes flashed.

Solution thinking.

"Aegislash, Gyro Ball."

Hearing this, Aegislash's gaze disappeared, although he didn't know what Natsu wanted to do, face strength with strength?

Quasi-Elite de-hardened steel with the power of a Gym Leader?

With his speed slightly faster than Steelix, even if the two Pokemon are on the same level, he might not be a match.

But Natsu's order was beyond doubt for him.

"Remember to go the opposite direction from Steelix."

Direct.

A small metal spill followed.

The airflow caused by the rotation of two Pokémon causes two tornadoes, one large and one small, to appear in Sandstorm.

Banging and rubbing against each other.

But it's clear that in a crash, Steelix still has the absolute advantage.

"Alakazam."

Natsu lightly shouted in a low voice, and their minds connected under Psychic.

Alakazam understood what Natsu meant.

The spoon in his hand fell right under Steelix and was held up by the Psychic.

Alakazam switches positions instantly with Aegislash.

At the same time.

A dark and transparent formation centered on Alakazam and spread all around.

Trick Room!

The "Space Tricks" that had been learned from the Oranguru were finally being used in actual combat for the first time.

For the meantime.

Steelix has become the fastest Pokemon.

This conversion also minimizes Steelix's "Gyro Ball" formidable power.

Aegislash who switched places with Alakazam happened to be on top of Steelix at the moment.

"Zaamm!"

Alakazam's actions did not stop at all.

Gravity!

Centered on the spoon that was thrown earlier, a huge Gravity rises vertically, covering Steelix and Aegislash.

Two Pokémon, two "Gyro Balls" fall vertically.

Metal and metal, twist and turn, head-to-head for the first time.

Dentang Dentang –! !

In the continuous rotation, under the sound of metal acid teeth's shrill screeching, sparks and flame stars flew.

But obviously.

Even with the help of "Trick Room", Aegislash's "Gyro Ball" was still no match for Steelix, his spin speed slowed down noticeably to the naked eye.

However.

Aegislash's body glowed again with a metallic sheen.

Automate!

Lose your own weight and increase your speed.

But in the "Trick Room", the speed increase is equal to the speed decrease, and the effect of the speed decrease is to make the extraordinary power of "Gyro Ball" even stronger.

With addition and subtraction, plus "Gravity" Assist, the Aegislash above has the upper hand.

After releasing "Gravity", Alakazam held the spoon and immediately detonated the Psychic that had been hidden in Steelix's body for a long time.

"Future Vision" broke!

And Beedrill, who had been quiet for a long time, also made his move at this time.

It gets very slow.

But now Steelix doesn't have time to deal with it.

Beedrill's "Drill-Run" with his yellow halo also entered.

The scraping sound became clearer.

Onix becomes slower and will stop.

"Air Slash" Togekiss, also dropped this time.

The previous two attacks were unsuccessful.

But this time.

Steelix expends too much energy to withstand Aegislash's "Gyro Ball" and Beedrill's "Drill Run", Steelix takes too much to lose.

peng~peng~!

Finally.

Steelix enters the "Flinch" state.

At the moment.

This is the best time for Pokemon to explode.

"Trick Room" was voluntarily disbanded by Alakazam.

Aegislash stopped the "Gyro Ball" with an excited expression.

The blue illusory shadow longsword slashed, and the "Sacred Sword Fury Cutter" fell continuously.

"Drill Run", "Psychic", and "Aura Sphere" also fell one after another.

When Steelix was able to move again, he was simply in a lot of pain both physically and mentally.

This pain was something he had not experienced in a long time.

However.

Just like pain and anger.

See you again.

A large blue sword, moving towards his head from top to bottom.

The "Sacred Sword" superimposed by the "Fury Cutter" has been completed, and the overwhelming power is terrifying enough.

Togekiss also added "Help" to further strengthen the show.

Bang! !

Steelix's head that was just raised again slammed into the ground, causing the entire ground to tremble, the ground sinking and sinking, and the fine crack centered on Steelix spread out.

So far.

Steelix has completely lost his combat capabilities.

Aegislash was in the form of a sword, panting heavily, but with a rare excitement and unbridledness in her eyes.

ka ka ka—

Before they had time to celebrate

Cracking sounds were loud, due to the Gyro Ball's continuous friction and rotation on the ground, and the crash brought about by the final blow.

The ground started crumbling.

Natsu also throws a Poké Ball at the last minute, pocketing this powerful and highly prized Steelix.

bang!

In fact, the underground had long ago been filled with holes by Steelix's mischievous excavations.

What caught Natsu's attention the most was the silver-white metallic liquid bubbling at a depth of about 100 or 200 meters, accompanied by agitation of hot air, flowing like a liquid.

There are some sporadic deep yellow rocks in it.

"Earth Membrane." Natsu muttered.

No wonder Steelix is ​​so tough.

Although Steelix's defensive strength is already very strong, it is not enough that Beedrill who is at the quasi-Elite level and has many upgrades at the same time cannot completely destroy the defense.

It turned out that the "Metal Coat" he was wearing was an "Earth Membrane".

This is the same material that Regigigas used to make Registeel's body.

More valuable than the usual "Metal Coat".

It was mentioned before.

"Metal Coat" in the natural environment is a product of extrusion, separation and mixing of metal elements and minerals in soil and rock.

It took a very long time to settle down.

This is very different from the man-made "Metal Coat".

In fact, to add to the difficulty of this already complicated process.

It is necessary to replace ordinary elemental metals and minerals with rare metals and rare minerals.

The tiny yellow rocks mixed in with molten metal below are mineral rocks that have not been fully compressed.

Ordinary metal and mineral rich areas are not easy to find, let alone rare metals and rare minerals.

In addition, material upgrades would inevitably take longer and form under greater pressure.

Simply put, this "Earth Membrane" is like a "Metal Coat" that has been upgraded several times.

It also explains why there are so many Rock-Type Pokémon here.

Because in order to form a "Metal Coat", the prerequisite must be extremely rich in minerals, which is one of the best foods for many Rock-Type Pokémon.

"Ouch"

Aegislash's eyes shone with interest as she saw the writhing liquid metal.
