Elf: This owner is so sunny.

Chapter 348 My cute and charming little nail~
I've kept my last failure in mind and I won't make the same mistake this time.

There was a gleam in Sirona's eyes. Every time she thought about the last defeat, she felt unwilling to accept it, because she was the champion, the champion of the Sinnoh League.

So she desires victory more than anyone else!

What's more, Bai Yu in front of him was just a gym leader at that time.

She's going to win this game!
And he was defeated with absolute strength!
"Flaming Roaring Tiger, jump up!"

Bai Yu's eyes were solemn and his attacks were extremely aggressive. This was not like Shirona's usual fighting style.

In Bai Yu's impression, Shirona often focuses on layout in battles. She has her own ideas for every attack, and her tactical details far exceed those of other champions.

However, she is a little too fast in her attack now. Is she determined to win the battle?

The blazing roaring tiger growled, kicked its legs hard, leaped up and jumped up.

Lucario held the bone stick in his hand and refused to move, using the wave to lock onto the position of the Fiery Roaring Tiger. No matter how it ran, it could not escape the pursuit of the wave power.

"Two consecutive kicks!"

The Blazing Roaring Tiger swung its body in the air and faced Lucario's bone stick head-on.

bang~
The moment the bone stick and the double kick came into contact, Lucario was slightly knocked back a step or two by the force, and just when Lucario wanted to continue attacking.

bang~
The Blazing Roaring Tiger kicked Lucario with a whip kick. Lucario reacted quickly and used the bone stick to reduce a lot of the force, but his body was still knocked back several steps by this force.

"Throw down some harsh words!"

Bai Yu glanced at the repelled Lucario and gave a decisive order.

A ray of black light flashed in the eyes of the blazing roaring tiger in the smoke and dust. It coughed softly twice, and then a lot of gibberish came out of its mouth.

Just as Lucario stabilized himself, he heard a noisy sound beside his ear. He didn't know what the Fiery Roaring Tiger said, but Lucario's face turned red, and the bone stick in his hand was almost crushed by it.

After doing all this, Tigerblade turned into a red light and returned to the Poké Ball. The fire barrier surrounding Tigerblade and Lucario also disappeared completely with Tigerblade's exit.

Watching all this happening, Cattleya frowned rarely. She could see that Bai Yu was quite strong, but this was the first time she had seen Sirona's tough attitude.

In her impression, Sirona rarely showed such an offensive desire.

It's really strange~
Could it be that what she said was true?

Had the gym leader before her really defeated her?
Cattleya still didn't want to believe that the sister who grew up with her, the sister she had fought with many times and never got the upper hand against, would really... lose?

Seeing this, Sirona took back Lucario on the field without much hesitation, even though Lucario had a certain advantage in the previous confrontation.

Seeing Shirona taking back Lucario, Bai Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It seemed that Shirona did not trust her judgment too much. However, Lucario had already reduced one level of physical attack, and now his physical attack and special attack were reduced by another level. His combat power was greatly reduced. Taking it back was definitely the wisest choice.

Not all trainers are like Ash. Even when the attributes of the Pokémon on the field are reduced to the lowest point, they still let them stay on the field without hesitation, and their combat power is several times stronger than before the reduction.

"Crystal Flower! I'll leave it to you from now on."

In this battle, Bai Yu's choice of nail hand can only be Crystal Flower. It has been such a long time since the last battle, and Shirona is likely to have watched the related battle videos after her.

Compared to other nailmen, Crystal Flower's unique characteristics allow it to perform perfectly in most environments, and Crystal Flower's special attack is not low either.

The crystal flower, which was covered with crystals and looked like a blooming stamen, fell in front of Bai Yu, suspended in the air and making a metallic sound. Its two small eyes blinked at Shirona.

"Crystalflower~Gym Master Baiyu's most special Pokémon finally appears." Wu Neng raised his eyebrows. He had heard of the name of Crystalflower.

It is said to be a very scary Pokémon, several times more disgusting than nail-throwing Pokémon like Squadron and Nut-Bell.

Any opponent who can fight against it will suffer terribly.

I can learn the tactics of Baiyu Gym Master and develop the Nibi Gym.

Wu Neng thought of this and took out a small notebook from his pocket, trying to record some tactics during the battle, especially the timing of releasing the nails.

By the way, we also need to take a look at the combination of Crystal Flower's moves.

Wu Neng took out the illustrated book in his hand and scanned the crystal flowers on the field.

An introduction to the Crystal Flower's related moves appeared in Wu Neng's field of vision at this moment. Wu Neng fell into deep thought as he looked at the many changing moves. Finally, he was slightly relieved when he saw some normal moves.

If all you do is change your tricks, you won’t be able to make friends.

In comparison, those masters of the underworld promoted in the illustrated books are nothing at all, and are far inferior to Master Baiyu.

On the field.

"Crystal Flower?! Is it a Pokémon from the Padia region?"

Shirona stared at the crystal flowers on the field, and relevant information about the Padiya region quickly emerged in her mind.

As a champion, she has a deep understanding of Pokémon from other regions. Even for regions that have just appeared in the public eye, she has done some research on the relevant Pokémon encyclopedias.

It is also to avoid the mistakes made by Daigo and Ryudo, where they were at a loss when facing unknown Pokémon.

"Oh? Champion Sirona, you actually know the Crystal Flower in front of you. This is rare."

Bai Yu was a little surprised that Shirona actually knew this Pokémon. You know, Bai Yu himself has not used Crystal Flower many times, but she actually knew it.

"I have looked at the illustrated guide of the Padiya region and have a basic understanding of it."

Sirona replied with a smile, it was obvious from the appearance that it was not a serious Pokémon, so she needed to be on guard and no accidents could happen.

Rock-type and poison-type Pokémon, poison-type? Hiss… is he going to poison me? I don't have any extra steel-type Pokémon, so given this unique attribute, a ground-type Pokémon is the best choice.

In this case, the rest of the battle will be left to you.

"Go, Sea Haremon!"

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the figure of the Sea Slug appeared in front of Sirona.

Compared to before, Sea Aplysia's aura has become much stronger, and its strength has also steadily increased. It is not inferior to the Lucario we just saw. It seems that the previous defeat still caused a big blow to Sea Aplysia.

"Sea Slug! It was defeated by the reverse attribute in the previous battle. Its strength has indeed increased."

Bai Yu looked at the sea slug with interest.

In terms of level, it is no less powerful than the Blazing Roaring Tiger. In the past six months, no one knows how many battles the Sea Slug has gone through to improve its strength to this level.

"Sea Rabbitmon, use the power of the earth."

The sea slug beast let out a low roar, and it also recognized Bai Yu in front of it. It slapped the ground heavily with its body, and the earth shook violently. The ground suddenly cracked under the crystal flower, and countless rocks gushed out.

"Spiked defense."

Bai Yu did not initiate an attack, but chose to defend and think about countermeasures.

Sea Rabbit is not a Pokémon with outstanding dual attacks, but its physical attack is much weaker than its special attack, and most of its moves are based on special attacks. The characteristics of Crystal Flower require physical moves to be successfully triggered. Crystal Flower may be able to withstand one ground-type move, but it definitely cannot withstand the second one. With four times the ground weakness, Crystal Flower is in a very dangerous situation.

However, except for ground-based moves, Crystal Flower can block one or two of the remaining moves, which may not be a bad thing for Bai Yu.

Even if the crystal flowers on the field are sacrificed, as long as enough nails are created.

The sacrifice of the crystal flower was worth it.

While Bai Yu was thinking about countermeasures, a dark green light rose from the Crystal Flower, a natural barrier with countless spikes.

Rumble~
The rocks that surged from the ground kept hitting the dark green barrier, and finally the rocks exploded. However, in the smoke and dust, the dark green barrier was still as good as new, without any damage.

"Sea slug, mud shot!" Shirona attacked again.

"Venom attack!" Bai Yu did not choose to defend, but took the initiative to attack.

The crystal flower in the smoke and dust was spinning its body, and countless venomous liquids appeared and splashed towards the direction of the sea slug.

Poison-type venom shock.

The sea slug beast was not to be outdone and condensed countless muds. Layers of mud collided with countless venoms. Both sides refused to give in. In terms of quantity, the venom released by the Crystal Flower had more impact and was more powerful.

The mud shot was quickly dispersed by the venom impact, and the scattered venom hit the body of the Sea Slug. The Sea Slug screamed in pain, and its body was covered with countless venom.

But because Sea Slug's body was very slippery, the venom quickly slid to the ground, and the damage of poison-based moves hitting Sea Slug was halved. In fact, the damage Sea Slug suffered was very limited.

Even though Crystal Flower's special attack is outstanding, it cannot cause fatal damage to Sea Slug.

The next moment, the Crystal Flower had just released its venom attack when its body began to spin again. Countless small ochre-colored nails surrounded the Crystal Flower.

Ground-based scattering of ling!

"Sea Rabbit, use Water Wave!"

Sirona decisively shouted at the Sea Slug.

The ground-based power of the earth is more powerful than the power of water waves, and it has four times the power to restrain the Crystal Flower. However, compared to the charging time of the power of the earth, the release of the power of water waves is obviously faster.

The impact of Saling on her team is quite large, and they must not let the Crystal Flower release Saling so easily.

Even if the opponent releases it, it will cause some damage to the Crystal Flower.

When the sea slug opened its mouth, a strong wave of water came out, and the crystal flower condensed into countless nails, which flew around the venue.

Boom~
The waves of water violently washed over Crystal Flower's body. Crystal Flower let out a mournful cry, and its body could not bear it and retreated violently backwards, barely able to stabilize itself.

The Rock + Poison Crystal Flower was perfectly restrained by the Sea Slug in front of it.

Whether it is water-based or ground-based moves, they can cause amazing damage to Crystal Flower.

Fortunately, this water wave was blocked.

"Sea Rabbit, use Turbid Flow."

The sea slug let out a mournful cry and a turbid current lifted the sea slug up. The sea slug was pushed down heavily and the turbid tide rushed towards the direction of the crystal flower.

Turbidity currents in the water system.

If it rains, the muddy current may cover the entire venue.

"Crystal Flower moves upwards, use magic flash!"

Bai Yu stared at the turbid current on the field. The Crystal Flower had the ability to float, and it quickly moved its body upwards. As it moved, a pink light rose from its body.

The strong light was extremely dazzling, shining on the face of the Sea Slug, making it unable to open its eyes for a moment. The Sea Slug roared in pain, and the turbid current on the field dissipated, hiding in the field.

"I've found the opportunity." Bai Yu's usual smile returned to his face.

"Crystal Flower, use Energy Ball!"

Crystal Flower spun its body, and a green sphere formed in front of it, which was fired in the direction of the Sea Slug.

A grass-type energy ball.

Like Crystal Flower, Sea Slug also has a fatal weakness.

The unique attributes of Water and Ground put it at an absolute disadvantage when facing Grass-type Pokémon.

I'm afraid even Sirona never thought that a poison-type Pokémon would master grass-type moves!
"Hold on." Shirona stared at the energy ball in the sky, countless thoughts flashing through her mind.

The moment the energy ball rushed over, he ordered the Sea Slug to defend and resist.

bang~
The Sea Slug had just come to its senses and was about to condense the blue energy rising from its body to form a barrier when it saw the energy ball rushing towards it quickly.

The barrier was barely formed, and ripples appeared on the barrier, but Shirona did not look happy. The barrier broke under the gaze of everyone.

The energy ball hit the sea slug like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.

Rumble~
The energy ball suddenly exploded, and the Sea Slug was blown away by the energy. A red light rose from its body, and its special defense was also reduced at this moment.

The effect of the energy ball is that when it hits the target, there is a certain chance that the opponent's special defense will be reduced.

The sea slug fell to the ground with a look of pain on its face.

Four times weak grass, the power of this energy ball is quite amazing.

However, the sea slug still held on, but its condition did not look very good and it was at risk of falling down at any time.

Shirona frowned. Who could have expected that Crystal Flower would hide an energy ball? This grass-type move really disrupted her plan.

"Invisible Rock!"

Bai Yu laid out the venue without any hesitation, and sooner or later the Sea Slug would lose its ability to fight.

During this free time, throwing nails to torture the Pokémon following Sirona is not better than continuous attacking?
The crystal flower spun its body, and an ochre-colored energy sphere began to condense.

"We can't let him continue his plan."

Shirona stared at the Sea Slug on the field with sharp eyes.

He took out the Poké Ball and retrieved the Sea Slug that was about to lose its ability to fight.

Just as Shirona took it back, the khaki energy body suddenly exploded and turned into countless rocks scattered in the air. All over the venue, the ground raised a khaki energy and disappeared in an instant.

Take back the Sea Slug at this time?

Bai Yu was a little surprised. In his opinion, given the current state of the Sea Slug, there was no need to take it back, but Sirona did it anyway.

Could it be that...Shirona has a nail clearing hand? !
