[Mastering the Moves...]

Spy Mantis's potential has not changed much, and he is too lazy to pay attention to the changes of a few tenths.

In the past month, they have spent a lot of time on the ship, and Spy Mantis's level has only increased by more than three levels. It seems that it will be more difficult to improve the level as time goes by.

As for the characteristics of Spy Mantis, he only pays attention to the changes in Insect Premonition, which has increased his proficiency a lot. He practices almost every day just to develop the perception of this characteristic.

Forget about Unyielding Heart. This characteristic will be covered after evolution. It doesn't matter whether you look at it or not. His Spy Mantis has high fighting spirit, so there is no need to worry that the fighting spirit will disappear after evolution.

Scyther's old moves have not changed much, and the four new moves added are Whirlwind Blade, Close Combat, Baton, Cross Poison Blade...

These are the new moves learned in the gym, and the proficiency is good. They have been training during this period.

In addition to the four new moves, Scyther also learned the Air Blade move from the Owl. This move is a special attack move. Scyther, which mainly relies on physical attack, does not need to learn it, but this move increases critical hits, so it was learned.

The remaining moves, the moves that are focused on training, have a high proficiency...

Bug-type Cross Scissors, Combo Slash...

Flying-type Acrobatics, Tailwind...

General-type Gathering, Sword Dance, Shadow Clone, Hold, Lightning Flash, etc....

There are also high-speed movement and Steel Wings, all of which have a good proficiency.

Scyther should not suffer a loss against that Venusaur. Venusaur is restrained by the Flying-type, while Venusaur has no moves to restrain Scyther.

After deciding to use Scyther to fight the second game, he shouted to Scyther: "Scyther, gather your energy, speed up and rush over to use the shadow clone..."

"Yo," Scyther's body was surrounded by the mysterious light gathered in the air, it was using the energy.

"Vulpes, photosynthesis," Xiao Qian did not attack, but took advantage of Scyther's energy gathering to let Venusaur use photosynthesis to recover the physical strength just consumed.

"Da Na," Venusaur's whole body glowed white and was surrounded by white flashes, and then the petals on its back glowed brightly, healing itself.

After Venusaur completed photosynthesis, Scyther rushed over and used the shadow clone around Venusaur, and Venusaur could not tell the real from the fake for a while.

"Vulpes, use the vine whip to sweep..."

"Da Na," Venusaur stretched out a thick vine whip, ready to sweep the shadow clones of Scyther that surrounded it, trying to sweep Scyther out.

But how could Yu Hai give the opponent this opportunity? Venusaur's basic speed was not as fast as Scyther, and Gyarados reduced its speed by two levels. Venusaur could not escape, "Scyther, acrobatics..."

"Ya——"

Before Venusaur's vine whip swept across, Scyther's eight shadow clones moved together, sprinting towards Venusaur from eight directions, and slashed through with sickles.

"Da Na," Venusaur screamed in pain for the first time since the battle. It seems that the acrobatics just now really hurt.

The power of acrobatics is 55, and the power without props is 110. Hitting the vital point will double the damage, and this does not count the double restraint of the flying system.

"Huh, I won," Yu Hai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After gathering energy, the chance of hitting the vital point is only two levels, and the probability is 50%. Only the critical hit rate of three levels is 100%.

I didn't expect that the critical hit damage was dealt at two levels, which is really a cause for celebration.

"Spy Mantis, seize the opportunity, air blade..."

"Vulpecula, hold on," Xiao Qian gritted her teeth. She could see that Venusaur had suffered a lot of damage from the acrobatic attack just now. Now she could only charge up again and gamble on the sun and flames.

"Yo," Spy Mantis flew in the air, flapping its wings to launch arc-shaped air blades at Venusaur on the ground.

Boom boom boom——

After bombarding Venusaur below with high attack, Spy Mantis waited for the smoke to dissipate, Venusaur had fainted.

Air blade is a move that increases the critical hit rate. Every wind blade can deal critical damage as long as it can hit Venusaur.

Venusaur, which is already at the end of its strength, can't block the initial wind blade even if it uses hold on, and the subsequent wind blades can't be blocked.

Sure enough, it's easier to fight against attribute restraint, and it's too difficult to fight against reverse attributes. If the face is a little bit bad, it will overturn. Didn't his Gyarados overturn just now?

"Come back, Venusaur, you've done well," Xiao Qian took Venusaur back, comforted Venusaur, and shouted to the air under her feet: "Geng Gui..."

"Kouhei, kouhei," Gengar extended a black line from Xiao Qian's shadow, and the black line gradually stretched to the battlefield, turning into a purple fat man with a signature smirk on his mouth.

"Geng Gui?" Yu Hai had just seen the panel of Scyther. Scyther had a dark move that restrained Gengar, so he didn't change the Pokémon and just used Scyther.

"Scyther, high speed movement," Yu Hai still attacked first. This is a gym battle, and the challenging trainer has many advantages.

"Yo," Scyther heard the high speed movement and immediately accelerated around Gengar, so fast that afterimages appeared. After all, this was the second time it accelerated.

"Geng Gui, black eyes..."

"No, you're playing dirty again," Yuhai cursed in a low voice when he heard the black gaze. He immediately knew what the other party wanted to play, and quickly shouted to Flying Mantis: "Flying Mantis, secretly attack the vital point... "

"Gengar, hold on, Song of Destruction..."

"Damn it, that's too bad," Yu Hai didn't expect that he really saw the wrong person. Under the girl's seemingly beautiful appearance, she was actually so dirty inside.

These were all dirty tricks he had played in his previous life. He didn't expect that one day he would be targeted by dirty tricks.

"Flying Mantis, don't hold back, just attack directly..."

"Hey," the Flying Mantis was just glanced at by Gengar, and was illuminated by two black beams of light emitted from Gengar's eyes. It could feel a kind of restraint, which was very uncomfortable. This is the black gaze, and its effect is that the trainer cannot take it back. Elf.

Then Gengar was muttering something unknown, and a black energy wave was generated from his mouth, forming a red-black energy attack on it, as if it was marked.

Then Ukai shouted anxiously, letting it directly attack Gengar's defense. It all happened so fast that there was no time to think too much.

Bang bang bang——

The Flying Mantis obeyed Yu Hai's strong attack and immediately launched a strong attack on Gengar. However, the sickle struck Gengar's defense without moving at all, with no sign of breaking. Fortunately, the defense had a time limit, and it dissipated after a few breaths.

"Gengar, hide..."

Next, as long as Gengar survives three rounds, Flying Mantis will be eliminated once the time is up, even if there is no need to fight.

"Is it a sneak attack? Or is it invisible?" Yuhai murmured to himself. Seeing Gengar gradually fading and disappearing, he kept scanning the entire battlefield. Gengar could no longer be seen on the battlefield, which was really troublesome.

The move of Submerged Surprise Attack allows Gengar to hide in a different space. The purpose must be to delay time. There are two ways to crack it...

First, use elves who also know this move to go to a different space to catch Gengar.

Second, wait for one round, Gengar himself will appear in the second round.

There is another possibility, that is, Gengar is invisible. If it is just invisible, there are ways to break it.

See through, smell detection, and miracle eye. These three moves can see through the invisibility of ghost elves, but Flying Mantis can't do any of them, which is very painful.

But there is another method, the method used by Dan Emperor in the previous animation...

During the Masters, Ash's Gengar became invisible, and was brushed out by Dan Emperor's Thousand Faces Evasion with water jets. Ash's Counterattack Shield tactic was still used.

In fact, the technique of counterattack shield is not difficult. There are two main points...

We need an attack move that can be released continuously. We use the sprite's in-situ rotation so that the move is no longer concentrated in one direction, but covers a very large range. We transform the damaging move into a move that is both offensive and defensive. That's it. A counterattack shield integrating offense and defense.

There is also the counterattack shield, which is a similar routine. What matters is the strength of the elf using the tactic. If there is not enough supporting strength, the tactic cannot be supported.

It's a pity that Flying Mantis doesn't seem to have a suitable move...

"Hey, there seems to be one." Suddenly an idea flashed in Yuhai's mind. He flashed through the panel just now and saw that a certain move he saw could be used. He immediately shouted to Flying Mantis: "Flying Mantis, use Sword Dance to roll up Leaves……"

"Hey," the flying mantis didn't understand what Yuhai was going to do, but at this time it could only listen to Yuhai. Who said that Yuhai was a trainer!

The flying mantis crossed its arms and rotated at high speed to drive the surrounding airflow, forming a tornado with itself as the center, constantly rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground.

Until the fallen leaves covered the entire sky, Yuhai finally saw the hidden Gengar, which was brushed out by the fallen leaves and dust.

"Flying Mantis, Geng Gui is up there," Yuhai saw Geng Gui and reminded Flying Mantis that Geng Gui was in the sky.

"Kou Jie, Kou Jie," Gengar was floating in the air. It was a bit baffling to be spawned. It didn't even figure out how it was discovered.

"Gengar, sneak attack," Xiaoqian saw that Gengar's invisibility was broken and had to let Gengar hide in a different space. What she was fighting for was time. As soon as the time came, she would win this round again.

"Hey," Flying Mantis saw that Gengar was about to sneak into another space. How could he give Gengar this opportunity? The acceleration of high-speed movement and the acceleration of tailwind, the frequency of his wings, was agitated faster than ever before.

At this rapid speed, it came to Geng Gui in an instant and slashed at Geng Gui, who was only half of his body...

"Kou Jie," Gengar almost fell out of the different space and screamed in pain. The critical strike of the knife hurt it to death.

"Gengar, sneak attack," Xiaoqian was very anxious, because the time was coming, and if Gengar didn't hide, the Flying Mantis might fight back desperately.

"Jie, mouth, mouth," Gengar rolled on the ground in pain, but after hearing the trainer's words, it ignored the pain and quickly opened the door to the different space on the ground, crawling in with its whole chubby body.

"Flying Mantis, we can't let it run away," Yuhai was also very anxious because the time for the Song of Destruction was coming soon.

Song of Death. The elves who hear the Song of Death will be on the verge of death after three rounds. Song of Death will always hit unless the target is using a charged move and is not on the field.

The Song of Death state will be lifted when time expires. When it is lifted, all the elves who heard the Song of Death will fall into a state of near-death.

In addition to the time-out method, the Song of Destruction can also be removed by replacing the Pokémon. The Song of Destruction removed in this way will not put the Pokémon into near-death, and the soundproof feature can prevent it.

The soundproof feature is a feature that blocks sound and is not affected by sound moves.

But Xiao Qian didn't seem to be nervous at all. Could it be that he had something to rely on, or that Gengar, who used the Song of Destruction, didn't hear the Song of Destruction at all.

Just as he was thinking about this, Scyther had already swooped down and was about to chop Gengar again. Scyther suddenly lost consciousness, and the time for the Song of Destruction had come.

Bang——

Scyther hit the ground heavily. Yu Hai used the Poké Ball to take back Scyther and threw the Poké Ball to the maid next to him. The maid would take it to the gym for treatment.

Scyther itself was not injured, but the last gravity acceleration hit it hard, so he could only let the maid take it for treatment.

Scyther's elimination this time can be said to be very aggrieved, and it was completely killed by a dirty routine, because the black gaze could not take back Scyther, and could not use the substitution method to remove the song of destruction.

Logically speaking, the opponent's Gengar released the song of destruction, and should also hear the song of destruction, and be eliminated as well. Unexpectedly, the opponent's Gengar was still fine and came out of the different space.

It seems that when the opponent uses the song of destruction, there is a way to block the song of destruction, so that Gengar will not be affected when releasing the song of destruction. This is the deep heritage of these big families...

This is the real gap between him alone and these trainers with family heritage.

He still has one Pokémon now, and Xiaoqian has two. This gym battle is his most difficult battle.

Although she didn't use her full strength, this girl is really strong, and the opponent is also a good player among the senior level, and it is more than enough to temporarily replace the gym leader.

Next, the gull, the slug, the crab, the armored Tyrannosaurus...

He seemed to have no choice. The gull, the slug, the crab, these three Pokémons could not see through Gengar's invisibility, nor did they have any moves to restrain Gengar. They could only use the stupid method of Scyther to find the invisible Gengar.

But once Gengar hides in the different space, these three guys can't do anything. It's useless to go up.

In the end, only Hanhan is left. Although this guy can't sneak into the different space, Hanhan still has Crunch and Shadow Claw to use, so he is not as helpless as the three slugs. Next, Hanhan can only be used...
