Chapter 569 Attribute Suppression? No, Racial Suppression! (Seeking monthly votes!)

"Cradle lily, parasitic seed!"

When Daigo saw that Jinghe did not choose to replace the Pokémon to steal the weather, but instead still let Urshifu withstand the sandstorm to strengthen itself, he understood Jinghe's intention and gave new instructions.

"Gurgling~~"

Cradle Lily's limbs were firmly rooted in the ground, constantly absorbing moisture from the field to intensify the sandstorm, while also continuously recovering its condition.

Then, its eight antennae on its head closed and bloomed like a flower, spraying out seeds that scattered in all directions.

Upon contact with the seed of the Martial Arts Bear Master, it quickly took root and sprouted on its body, growing into numerous fine vines.

Although these vines are too thin to pose much of an obstacle to the Martial Arts Bear Master's movements, they constantly drain his energy and are difficult to remove easily, which is a very troublesome matter.

At the same time, these seeds will slowly but continuously return the energy they have absorbed to the Cradle Lily.

The sandstorm, combined with the parasitic seeds, will continuously weaken the Martial Arts Bear Master's stamina.

The cradle lily's condition can be continuously restored through rooting and absorption of parasitic seeds.

With the balance shifting, Martial Arts Master Xiong was already at a disadvantage after completing his sword dance.

Furthermore, the longer the duration, the greater the pressure on the martial arts bear master.

However, in the eyes of Jing He and Martial Arts Master Xiong, it was worth the price to gain the bonus to sword dance.

Even without replacing Ninetales, Urshifu has the Rain Dance move to try and steal the weather, but with the Water Absorb ability, and given that Urshifu itself hasn't done much weather training, it's highly unlikely to succeed.

Therefore, there is no need to try it.

Just go for it!
"Martial Arts Bear Master, Water Jet, get closer!"

Hua Hua Hua——

The sound of water appearing out of nowhere was particularly jarring amidst the fierce sandstorm, and due to the Cradle Lily's "water-drawing" properties, these water streams showed signs of dissipating very quickly after they appeared.

Fortunately, thanks to the speed boost from the water jet, Martial Arts Bear Master swiftly charged towards Cradle Lily.

Upon seeing this, Daigo immediately shouted:
"Cradle Lily, Energy Ball!"

hum-

A bright green energy sphere quickly condensed and slammed straight towards the Martial Arts Bear Master who was charging towards him. The fierce iron fist seemed to be accompanied by a gale.

"Split it!"

"Hoo!"

Martial Arts Master Xiong paused slightly, then charged forward at an even faster pace. Facing the incoming green energy ball, he transformed his fist into a palm, his palm blade sharp as a blade, cleaving it from top to bottom.

hum-

The Martial Arts Bear Master continued walking, but the energy ball that was about to hit it split in the middle, landing on the ground on either side of the Martial Arts Bear Master's back.

boom! boom!
This strike stunned everyone.

No, if it were Azure Flame Blade Demon, that would be fine, but this is Martial Arts Bear Master, who can turn his palm into a blade.

Is this the Pokémon of the "Fighting Master"?

The body is a weapon!

Little did they know, Martial Arts Bear Master's technique originated from the Holy Swordsmen of the Unova region.

After rescuing the Holy Swordsmen, Jinghe led the little guys to learn from them for a period of time, and the most serious and learned the most was the Martial Arts Bear Master.

Although Urshifu is a Fighting-type Pokémon and doesn't have swords, its nature is the same in certain situations.

All I can say is that this skill was worth learning.

With the help of the Martial Arts Bear Master splitting the energy ball, it finally managed to reach Cradle Lily.

Just as Daigo knew Jinghe's intention not to seize the weather, Jinghe was also fully aware of Daigo's tactics at this moment.

Consume!
By using sandstorms and parasitic seeds to constantly wear down the Martial Arts Bear Master's stamina, the longer the fight goes on and the longer the tug-of-war lasts, the more disadvantageous it becomes for the Martial Arts Bear Master.

Therefore, what Jinghe and Martial Arts Master Xiong need to do is to finish the battle as quickly as possible!

This is also why I chose to focus on sword dancing rather than bodybuilding.

"A Stand!" Daigo was also somewhat surprised, but his reaction was quick.

"The water flows continuously!"

slam-la-

The water surged again, and the fist of the martial arts master Xiong appeared.

boom! !

A straight punch shattered Cradle Lily's Stand, and a whip kick struck Cradle Lily's body, but it was like a dry sea surface, instantly absorbing all the water.

But Martial Arts Master Xiong was not surprised by this, and his third hook punch landed heavily on Cradle Lily's body.

boom--

With countless roots snapping, the Cradle Lily flew backwards.

While the "Water Drain" ability can ignore Water-type moves, it only works on the first hit of a combo. The final punch of a Water Drain combo still deals substantial damage.

and.

Not only did Master Martial Arts break and remove Cradle Lily's Stand with his Water Flow, but he also broke its root!
Having landed a successful blow, Martial Arts Master Xiong pressed his advantage, charging forward once more with powerful punches.

"Cradle Lily, Ultimate Absorption!" Daigo frowned.

For a martial arts master with the "invisible fist," guarding a move is ineffective, so the method of alternating between "defense" and "substitute defense" cannot be delayed.

And
The Martial Arts Bear Master's power was too great. Even though it was just the last strike of the Water Flow Strike, it caused enormous damage to Cradle Lily.

As it flew backward, Cradle Lily emitted a faint green light, and then its eight tentacles seemed to extend and grow longer, wrapping around and enveloping the Martial Arts Bear Master.

As long as the Martial Arts Bear Master can be bound, these tentacles will continue to draw energy from it to regenerate.

At that very moment, blue light flashed in Jing He's eyes, and a waveguide halo also flickered in Martial Arts Master Xiong's eyes.

"see through!"

As Master Xiong fled, he unleashed a flurry of punches, displaying the full extent of his years of continuous practice.

With both fists, the green light extending from the eight tentacles was completely shattered.

Meanwhile, Martial Arts Master Xiong rushed headlong into Cradle Lily's presence.

General!

"Close combat!"

Suddenly, the imposing martial arts master Xiong Shi stopped in his tracks, his sharp eyes locking onto Cradle Lily, and a wisp of white smoke slowly drifted out from his mouth.

Within the fur on its chest, the fragments of the stone slab in its fist were slightly warm, as if reflecting the state of the martial arts bear master.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to become exceptionally quiet, like the calm before a storm.

This tranquility lasted only for a brief moment.

Daigo also gave orders at the same time.

"Cradle Lily, self-regenerating!"

A milky white halo bloomed on Cradle Lily's body before Martial Arts Bear Master's fist landed, restoring her damaged stamina.

next second.

His fists seemed to transform into countless fists, all of which were unleashed upon Cradle Lily.

Each punch brought excruciating pain to Cradle Lily.

On one side, he was throwing punches wildly; on the other, he was doing everything he could to recover.

however.

The enhanced physical attack of the Martial Arts Urshifu's fist was ultimately beyond what Cradle Lily could withstand with her self-regeneration.

As Martial Arts Master Bear unleashed his final punch, Cradle Lily crashed heavily into the sandstorm.

"Cradle Lily, incapacitated!" the referee announced immediately.

The host's voice followed, "Teacher Jinghe, you've won the first game!"

thump—

On the big screen, the image of Cradle Lily next to Daigo's image became dim and lifeless.

"Roar!!"

After defeating Cradle Lily, Martial Arts Bear Master clenched his fists excitedly and roared to the sky.

Looking at the martial arts master, Daigo pursed his lips.

Cradle Lily ultimately couldn't withstand the powerful and relentless onslaught of Martial Arts Bear Master.
That being the case.

Steven recalled Cinnamoroll, and after a brief hesitation, grabbed the second Poké Ball.

"Go ahead, armored bird!"

"Wow—"

With a long, clear cry, and its metallic wings gleaming with an increased luster, a silver-white bird-like Pokémon appeared in the sky above the arena.

"A skeleton bird?"

Looking at the armored bird soaring with outstretched wings, Jing He naturally had a good understanding of its strength and abilities.

The battle continues, and the sandstorm is still raging!
The Skarmory took to the sky as soon as it appeared, creating distance between itself and the Martial Arts Bear Master.

"Iron wall!"

"Wow!!"

Upon hearing Daigo's command, Skarmory folded its wings, and the metallic sheen on its already gleaming silver body intensified, further enhancing its already formidable physical defense.

Iron Wall Attack?

Or is it simply about enhancing physical defense?

However, regardless of the situation, when facing a Martial Arts Urshiki who excels in physical attacks and whose Swords Dance enhances its physical attack capabilities, strengthening your own physical defense is always the right thing to do.

"Martial Arts Bear Master, climb the waterfall!"

slam-la-

A stream of water surged from beneath the martial arts bear's feet, carrying it high into the sky.

Do they want to use their aerial advantage to engage in a protracted battle with Martial Arts Bear Master?

Sorry, that's not allowed!
However, neither Daigo nor Skarmory showed any intention of backing down when faced with the charging martial arts bear master, nor did they intend to use this opportunity to "fly a kite".

The example of Danti's Dorambaruto is still fresh in our minds.

so.
"Armored Bird, respond to it! Brave Bird Attack!"

"Screech—!!" The armored bird suddenly spread its wings, its long wings vibrating and stirring up a storm, swirling up its azure rouge around its body.

Its speed increased rapidly, and it met the Martial Arts Bear Master from above, pouring all its strength into this attack.

boom! !

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, the surging water collided head-on with the falling giant bird.

slam-la-

Water flowed down like raindrops, intertwined with sand and dust. Amidst the exploding water mist and sandstorm, Martial Arts Master Xiong fell from the sky, barely managing to steady himself and half-squatting on the ground.

The armored bird flew backwards, flapping its wings vigorously twice in the air to regain its balance.

A beam of red light shot out.

"Come back first, Martial Arts Master Xiong."

Jing He decisively took it back.

The Martial Arts Bear Master is not in good condition. The sandstorm, the parasitic seed, and the previous collision with Cradle Lily have reduced his physical defense in close combat. Even though he is a little reluctant to give up the Swords Dance buff, he has to come back for the time being.

Steven's Skarmory is quite effective against Urshifu.

Seeing this, Daigo's eyes flashed, and he seized the opportunity, shouting, "Skewer, Sprinkle Spikes!"

Metallic feathers scattered down, transforming into sharp, pointed spikes that vanished and disappeared.

Seeing this, Jinghe said to the Poké Ball, "You should rest for a bit."

Complete the replacement as soon as possible.

Otherwise, Skarmory's Invisibility Rock will have to come along too.

But as Jinghe reached for her waist, a Poké Ball opened on its own, and Hammer Girl Glasses, carrying a hammer, popped out.

Upon seeing this, Jing He's lips twitched involuntarily.

Not
At that moment, Jing He's first thought was actually the Azure Flame Blade Demon.

Switching to Crimson Knight will be the most suitable Pokémon to deal with Skarmory.

However, the attributes of a master blacksmith are somewhat unsuitable.

But even Brigitte herself volunteered.

The Great Forger wasn't necessarily going to participate; it was just requesting to fight. If Jing He refused to let it participate, it wouldn't cry or make a fuss.

During the battle, the little ones listened to Jinghe very well.

That's fine too. Perhaps, racial advantage is better than attribute advantage, at least the Brigitte doesn't have to be afraid of sandstorms.

So Jinghe smiled helplessly and pouted with a hint of indulgence.

He has always respected the Pokémon's own wishes.

"Go."

"just!!"

Upon receiving the instruction, the master blacksmith shouted excitedly, picked up his hammer, and rushed into the field.

"Jinghe's second Pokémon is Maxthon! That's a rather puzzling choice," the host expressed his confusion.

Actually, the audience is pretty much the same.

"While the Greatsmith's attributes aren't disadvantageous, they aren't advantageous either."

"Besides, isn't Greatsmith, like Urshifu, a physical attack type Pokémon?"

"This is an Armored Bird with enhanced physical defense."

Regarding these questions, Jinghe only has one thing to say—

Concentrated will can break through stubborn stone!

Even the strongest metal has its weaknesses!

When it comes to metals, no one knows more than the master blacksmith!

This is not.

Although the diamond-shaped nails scattered by the armored bird were invisible, the great blacksmith revealed their location as soon as he entered the arena with his hammer, and then lightly swept the ground with his hammer.

ding ding ding-

A crisp sound was heard, and the invisible nails were all attracted to the hammer.

"No, this is also possible?"

"This hammer even has its own magnetism?"

Upon seeing the giant blacksmith appear, the armored bird instinctively tensed its feathers.

We all know each other quite well.

Although Daigo would often ask Master Jinghe and the Great Blacksmith to point out their flaws,
The feeling of plucking hair is still quite painful.

As for Skarmory, although Greatsmith volunteered to fight, it doesn't mean he underestimated Skarmory.

On the contrary, the great blacksmith who helped the Skarmory comb its metal was well aware of just how strong the metal on the Skarmory was now.

But the more this happened, the more the master blacksmith wanted to try out his "results" himself.

"Master Blacksmith, a surprise attack with a high five!"

"just!"

Then the master blacksmith suddenly dug up a stone from the ground, threw it into the air, and smashed it with a hammer, accurately hitting the armored bird high in the sky.

boom! !

The surprise attack with a high five put the Skarmory into a state of "cowardice," and its fear of the Greatsmith further exacerbated this state.

The armored bird then fell from the sky.

opportunity!

Sudden——

All the spectators saw a huge hammer smash down at lightning speed at the armored bird falling from the sky, its target locked with unwavering precision.

"Armor Bird!"

Upon seeing this, Daigo couldn't help but shout out.

His shouts had some effect; the armored bird struggled for a moment, then its eyes regained their clarity.

"Wow!!"

It let out a long howl, trying to steady itself.

however.

clang! !

The flying hammer struck it squarely on the head.

The terrifying impact made the armored bird, which had finally regained consciousness, feel dizzy again.

At the same time, the fast-running blacksmith chased after the hammer and grabbed the handle as it bounced back.

"Armored Bird, Steel Wing!"

However, it was still Daigo's Skarmory, and it eventually stabilized its body, its wings completely covered in luster, and it swung them at the charging Greatsmith.

"Bear the blows, Sword Dance!"

clang! clang!
The master blacksmith held up his hammer, using its massive body to shield himself, allowing the hammer to withstand the blows while his aura rapidly increased.

"just!"

Hey! Your wings aren't as hard as my hammer!

The armored bird looked at the unmoving hammer and felt a headache coming on.

"Fly!"

With another flap of its wings, the armored bird soared into the air.

"Iron wall!"

Now that the Greatsmith has received the Swords Dance buff again, Steven will also continue to strengthen Skarmory's physical defense.

"Shoot it down! Rockfall!"

next second.

Then they saw the Great Blacksmith shove his hands into the ground, lift up a huge rock dozens of times larger than himself, and smash it down on the armored bird in the air with the help of his hammer.

boom! !

In an instant, rocks scattered, and the armored bird's iron wall was broken, as it once again fell into a state of "cowardice"!
"Wow, what luck! Is it really Teacher Jinghe fighting against him?"

"The master blacksmith's throwing technique is unbeatable."

"While the master blacksmith does indeed have a talent for hunting birds, how many birds did he hunt to develop that skill?"

"."

As it turns out, racial suppression is not necessarily worse than attribute suppression.

Jing He smiled slightly.

“In that case, Great Blacksmith, check the armored bird’s metal to see if it’s strong enough.”

"just!"

Despite her small stature, the Great Blacksmith displayed the ferocity of a tiger, charging towards the armored bird once more with her hammer in hand.

Seeing that the armored bird was about to wake up again, Jinghe's voice came once more.

"An angel's kiss!"

Is the "shrinking" phase over?
That would be "chaos"!
hum-

A beam of red light shot out.

Before the Great Blacksmith's hammer could fall, Daigo quickly recalled his Skarmory.

Continue fighting
The Greatsmith might not be able to kill the Skarmory instantly, but the Skarmory would definitely suffer a lot of unnecessary beatings.

It's not worth it.
and also.

Normally, Hammer Girl is all about reckless play, but when facing Skarmory, she seems to come up with all sorts of control moves like High Five, Rock Slide, and Angel's Kiss.

Is it really racial oppression?
"just?"

Watching the armored bird disappear from sight, the great blacksmith wiped his hammer.

Eh?
I haven't even finished "fixing" myself yet.
