Chapter 622 Selfless counterattack!

...

Field battle.

The first objective is to kill the Trainer.

The trainer's command mode is completely different from the tournament.

In the wild, Trainers not only need to consider Pokémon battles, but also guard against sudden attacks, so they are fated to be unable to concentrate fully on the battle, and Pokémon and Trainer tacit cooperation is required.

So many Trainers sent by the Academy left, but they couldn't accept this situation.

Under the protection of Aegislash, Natsu dodges Arbok's attack.

When the woman saw Natsu summoning a quasi-Elite Oranguru, she finally changed her gaze.

"Quasi-Elite." whispered.

Natsu, who took a few steps back, made a frozen face.

The opponent has sent four quasi-Elite Pokémon!

There may be more.

With that kind of power, Natsu wasn't sure if he could win at full exposure, so he threw two more Poke Balls without thinking.

"Bwear—"

"Laxx-"

Bewear and Snorlax!!

This time, absolutely without a doubt.

"Three Quasi-Elite"

Seeing the appearance of Snorlax and Bewear, the woman also started to feel a little helpless.

Even though the "space" system with Oranguru as its core is not aligned for Natsu's "switch" system with Alakazam as its core.

But not much of a problem.

There is no system on the opposite side, it is purely to counter the fierce power of each Pokémon.

"Nidoo—!!"

Peng Peng

With the sound of heavy footsteps, a figure stepped out from behind the woman.

Nidoking!!

Seeing this Nidoking, instead of getting more and more nervous, Natsu finally relaxed a bit.

Okay.

This is a Gym Leader level.

This guy has so many quasi-Elite Pokémon, he is afraid that Elite Pokémon will suddenly appear on the opposite side again, and that will be a big problem.

Now the Gym Leader level was out, much to Natsu's relief.

It seems that some of the opposing Pokemon are Gym Leaders and quasi-Elite, so there's still some fighting going on.

But looking at the other party doesn't mean letting Nidoking come forward.

The woman thought as she saw so many Pokémon from Natsu and felt pressure to prevent Natsu from attacking herself directly.

Possible.

These nidoking are just "bodyguards" on the surface, and maybe there are even more powerful ones hiding in the dark.

If Natsu sends a very fast Beedrill or Togekiss to attack, perhaps the opponent will take the opportunity to finish them off and ruin the game.

But now.

All he had to face were four quasi-Elite Pokémon in front of him.

Natsu breathed deeply.

Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, he focused his attention on the several Pokémon in front of him.

As soon as Bewear appeared, he took advantage of the gap in Arbok's movement that was limited by Oranguru's "Quash" movement, grabbed his tail, and swung him.

The two sides are completely different.

After a short stalemate, they collided again.

Snorlax and Bewear didn't have the support of Oranguru's "Trick Room", and the battle power was greatly weakened.

The main disadvantage is that the speed is too obvious.

In contrast to his opponent, his Pokémon had been carefully trained by him, and their strength was far stronger than those directly subdued in the wild.

However.

The Snorlax's skin is rough and his flesh thick to keep the Arbok from attacking again.

With Bewear's excellent fighting skills, Bewear was also barely able to fight a stalemate with Toxicroak.

Only for their opponent Beedrill, and two quasi-Elite Pokemon.

Crobat and Beedrill against each other.

But two quasi-Elite Pokémon, not without a chance!

The next second.

The opponent's Beedrill moves, and Natsu's Beedrill moves too.

bang! !

Four long sharp needles, four sharp green rays, and Beedrill's two "X-Scissors" collided head-on.

The results are predictable.

Natsu's Beedrill is definitely not as strong as the others.

Even with the blessing of speed.

"Beer!"

But there was a stream of dark red air from Beedrill's body, as if wearing red armor.

Boss aura!

The appearance of this aura made the opponent's Beedrill slightly surprised.

There was a bit of hesitation and a loosening of the strength that had originally suppressed Natsu Beedrill.

Boss.

Maybe when Boss aura encounters other Pokémon, Beedrill can only play a strengthening effect on himself, so that his impressive demeanor isn't any weaker than his opponent's.

But when the opponent is also Beedrill, Boss aura can also play a role.

That's to suppress the opposite.

bang! !

Beedrill, initially pushed back, seized the momentary gap between the opponents and pushed back, forcing the opponents back.

Although it didn't cause much damage, this situation was clearly beyond the Lady and her Beedrill's expectations.

shua shua ——

Before Beedrill could fully vent his imposing manner, two milky-white beams shot toward Beedrill from an extremely tricky angle.

This is Crobat's "Air Slash"!

Swiink--

Alakazam's eyes flashed, and he immediately switched places with Beedrill. He threw the spoon wrapped in Psychic in his hand, and the transformed "Psycho Cut" collided with one of them.

Two shots of "Air Slash" from other directions also managed to defeat the remaining opponent.

Before it was Crobat blocking Togekiss' Air Slash, but this time it was Togekiss' turn to block the other side.

Back and forth.

Wow——

Beedrill, who had switched positions with Alakazam, no longer paused in the slightest, and once again drew a golden arc through the air, accompanied by a current, towards the opposite side.

And Beedrill on the other hand, also with Crobat's help, finally recovered from the oppression brought about by the "Boss aura" just now, which came from the depths of the soul.

Natsu's Beedrill was already visible when he regained consciousness.

Respond hastily.

bang! !

Stumbled again.

Beedrill didn't give the opponent another chance to breathe. He fluttered his wings, stirred the current, and rolled up a tailwind, and he bullied himself again.

No one would have guessed.

In this battle, there seemed to be a stalemate, but the two Beedrills were the first to break the stalemate.

And it was the decidedly weaker Gym Leader grade Beedrill, which suppressed the quasi-Elite grade Beedrill.

Although it was only short-lived, when Beedrill on the other side actually came back to his senses, took a breath and seized the opportunity, he was still able to complete the counterattack.

But now.

It's on the beaten side.

Alakazam and Togekiss work together.

Both Pokémon have one plane of control and one output, and take turns to hand over the Substitute position and offensive responsibility. With Natsu's tacit understanding and command, they managed to restrain Crobat as well.

Even though winning was harder, they created a lot of space for Beedrill.

The other side.

Arbok and Snorlax fought closely, and the two Pokémon were deadlocked, and neither could do anything about the other.

Arnok's attacks won't kill Snorlax, and it's also difficult for Snorlax to use his attack in the face of the flexible Arbok.

Bewear and Toxicroak were also deadlocked.

Toxicroak is very aggressive, but Bewear's Characteristic Trait "Fluffy", least afraid of this kind of attack type Pokémon.

If the two sides were only competing in fighting skills, Bewear had the advantage.

If it weren't for Toxicroak's Poison Type move, which resulted in Bewear being restrained multiple times and having to dodge it, perhaps Toxicroak really had no chance of winning.

All parties reached a stalemate.

But in this way.

Oranguru has room to play.

To support Beedrill.

However.

The Oranguru failed to fire.

Because when it was about to fan the fan, a dark shadow quickly swept through the shadows in the forest, trying to sneak attack Natsu again.

Spotted by Aegislash and Oranguru at the same time and stepped out from the shadows.

It's Gengar!

This is the fifth pre-Elite Pokémon!

It could be said that the person who appeared today was the strongest of all Natsu's normal enemies.

With just one Nidoking, she will be able to enter the Elite level with all her members!

Gengar and Oranguru, both cunning and wise, don't say stalemate to each other, but at least they won't affect other Pokemon.

Tell the truth.

This battle was very difficult for Natsu.

His tactical system couldn't be fully implemented, which was the most uncomfortable part for him.

Fierce power competition, can only withstand the situation.

Originally, the "space" team with Oranguru as its core and the "switch" team with Alakazam as its core should be the edge.

Snorlax and Bewear are stronger if Oranguru uses "Trick Room".

But Togekiss, Alakazam and Beedrill will be limited, and it is difficult not to guarantee that the stalemate will not be a breakthrough from Alakazam's side.

The "switch" system with Alakazam as its core is usable, but the opponents are all quasi-Elite.

With such a difference in strength, the greatest advantage of the switch system could not be played.

Only a small switch with two Pokémon, Alakazam and Togekiss, could barely handle Crobat.

NO.

think about it.

If Snorlax and Togekiss were traded they would be better off against Crobat here.

But Togekiss is facing Arbok alone, and it will most likely be defeated head-on.

Eventually.

The advantage of this system is still based on the strength of the same or similar Pokemon.

When the strength gap is too large, the system may also be broken by force.

The only happy thing.

The opponent has run out of cards, but Natsu still has them!

"Beer!"

The opposing Beedrill, after being suppressed by Beedrill Natsu for a while, finally found a meeting, and "X-Scissor" forced Beedrill back.

His body, churning out emerald green crystal energy.

Swarms!

Another Beedrill Characteristic Trait is "Swarm"!

As the stamina decreases and the injury gets worse, the Bug Type's formidable movement power will get stronger.

Distinctive Features!

The two Beedrills suddenly stopped, and the dark red Boss aura surrounding Beedrill complemented the green light from Beedrill's other "Swarm".

Next.

It's time to really compete for hard power!

Whoa—

Whoa—

The two Beedrills moved almost simultaneously.

Beedrill Natsu was faster, the yellow long needle pressed directly into the chest from the side, but saw the opponent's long needle sweep from below to the top of the chest to flick the attack, tilted his head to avoid the follow-up, another long needle. The needle was wrapped in white light, and electricity was gushing out, and the illusory shadow was heavy.

Dang ting—

Four strikes, Beedrill Natsu blocked one punch, but the remaining three stitches all penetrated the Boss's aura, hitting his chest and stomach.

bang! !

Beedrill's body was smashed against a tree trunk, and the electric current in his wings was scattered by the heavy impact.

Knock!

Beedrill Natsu tilted his head, dodged the opponent's pursuit, a long needle swept across the space, and flew away.

Hu Hu --

Beedrill's chest rose and fell, and his breathing was asthmatic.

After all, there is still a gap in strength. Even if the current increases the speed, the Boss's aura suppresses the opponent and strengthens itself.

Beedrill was a little overwhelmed by the fact that once "Swarm" was activated, it was true that he had taken one hit.

In addition, the previous continuous attacks, also consumed a lot of physical strength.

This time on the downside.

Suddenly.

Sharp blades swept a constant distance and appeared beside Beedrill.

He was hit when he least expected it.

Beedrill was slammed to the ground, kicking up a huge cloud of falling leaves and dust.

"Croo—"

Crobat, who was not far away, was looking bright.

Under the cooperation of Alakazam and Togekiss, Crobat actually took the attack from Alakazam and threw an "Air Slash", which dealt an even bigger and more painful blow to Beedrill, who was already in bad shape.

The woman standing in the shade of the tree opposite had a cold light in her eyes.

Don't think about it, that must be her intention.

Crobat's punches wouldn't affect the battle, but Natsu's Beedrill had dragged on for too long.

She needed to break the ice, and Beedrill Natsu was the easiest and best to deal with.

"Zam!"

"Chaa!"

And this situation clearly made Alakazam and Togekiss angry.

They were also ready to start ignoring their own damage and had to forcibly swap with Crobat!

Beedrill was fierce, but they held back, which made the two Pokémon's hearts more uncomfortable than physical pain.

"Calm down! Hold on to your nerves, don't get stirred up!"

But Natsu's voice sounded like a thunderbolt in their minds, forcing the two Pokémon to a halt.

Glance at the remaining motionless silhouettes across.

Beedrill is the first choice to break the deadlock. The other party thinks so, why doesn't he think so?

But if Alakazam and Togekiss really need injury after injury first, it's also a good choice.

"Beer!"

The sight of Beedrill, standing with Twineedle's support, and stumbling from the ground, under the same bloodshot eyes on the opposite side, was full of disdain.

The currents on the wings also dimmed.

But the light in Beedrill's eyes had never been this bright.

Seeing Beedrill's appearance, Natsu had already put his hand in his pocket, suddenly stopping.

"Beedrill" Natsu whispered.

The sound is very low.

But Beedrill seemed to hear him.

Turning his head and moving towards Natsu, nodding heavily.

"Beer—"

Natsu breathed a sigh of relief and understood what it meant.

"Do you think this is an opportunity?" Natsu muttered to himself in a low voice.

He stretched out his hand, a "Sparkling Stone" appeared, and threw it straight at Beedrill.

Also drinking heavily.

"Then give it a try!"

Beedrill flew again.

Body contact with the "Sparkling Stone" thrown by Natsu.

dong!

"Beer?"

Beedrill on the other side saw this scene and was slightly surprised.

He didn't know what dazzling was.

He actually saw Natsu's Beedrill longer.

Tzzzzzzzz ——

Sparks once again appeared on the wings, Boss's aura was more solid, and his aura was inflated.

Along with that, Beedrill's aura!

It started fluctuating wildly.

Gym Leader for a while.

It will be quasi-Elite level for a while!

In this scene, the other party's Beedrill seemed to be familiar.

Isn't that what happened in the first place?

With himself.

Had he really become the opponent's touchstone? !

That is unacceptable!

The anger in his heart turned into strength throughout his body, wrapped in an inexplicable Rage and fear that couldn't even be put into words.

If Beedrill, who had suppressed his imposing manner, also entered the quasi-Elite level, would it still be an opponent?

"Beer-!"

this time.

Beedrill Natsu no longer relies on speed to dodge, but instead uses speed, which translates into his own momentum.

Two golden silhouettes, in the twinkling of an eye, collided with dazzling sparks like the intersection of meteors.

dong!

The dull sound, the ripples after, the swaying branches, the floating leaves.

Right now, in their eyes, the forest seemed to have only one another.

But Beedrill's opponent's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Why?!

His "Swarm" has activated, why is it on par with Beedrill at the Gym Leader level?

Gym Leader Level?

"Beer."

Seeing his Beedrill, Natsu smiled.

Laugh?

Yes.

Because now.

Quasi-Elite!

However.

This is just the beginning.

Natsu finally took out the object he wanted to use earlier.

No more objections.

this battle.

Either he dies or the other party dies.

There is no third option.

In this case.

So what's left?

Take out the Keystone.

"Beedrills, Mega!"
