Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 165: It's over before we even warm up
In the Hoenn region, Butou Town, a small island floating on the blue sea.

This remote location on the southwest side of the Hoenn continent is a surfing mecca visited by many tourists, and is also the location of a fighting-type martial arts gym.

The owner of the gym, Fujiki, is a well-known surfer in the area, and is also a fighter who is familiar with Shiba.

Link had accidentally forgotten about this place before, and when he reviewed the badges he had yet to obtain, he turned around and challenged the second gym in the Hoenn region.

But for Link now, this gym can no longer pose any threat to him...

The gym owner Fujiki accepted his challenge, and a doubles match with both sides giving their all began.

“I’m Fujiki, the owner of the Budo Gym!
“I’ve been tossing around in the dangerous waves around here and practicing in the dark caves!

"Pokémon battles are a lot like the ebb and flow of the tide! Show me how strong you are!"

Link said nothing and silently released the Heat Meowth.

A cat and a fox, both wearing [Bonding Scarves], walked into the battlefield.

This battle is the time to show the results of his two months of training, so let the elves play freely according to the situation.

"Go! Strange power, Mashana!"

The battle begins.

Torrell didn't waste any energy trying to "intimidate" but used its extraordinary speed to accelerate towards Yoga Monkey using "Charged Flame Attack".

Fujishu was vaguely surprised at Tornado's speed, but his Pokémon were all good at dealing with this kind of explosive attack.

Mashana "saw through" Torreya's charge effortlessly, but before it could dodge, its body was immobilized by the opponent's "telekinesis" from behind.

Seizing the opportunity, Tornado immediately used a "Double Kick" and a "Shadow Claw". With the help of the connection box, he mastered different styles of fighting techniques.

As a fighter, Fujiki's eyes immediately lit up, but he knew that his Mashana had enough perseverance to "withstand" the sudden attack of the Tornado.

The teammates came to support with extraordinary strength, and used four hands to launch a violent attack with punches and hand knives that broke the speed of sound.

The Toray Cat, however, ignored it and flew up and down with its agile and strong figure.

A flash of red light suddenly appeared, and it was seen that it broke through the defense circle of the strange power and hit its chest with a cat fist!

The strange force endured the pain, preparing to "defenselessly" exchange injuries for injuries to catch the nimble opponent.

However, the Torrent Cat lightly used the force to counter-step and leaped into the air by stepping on its arm.

Just at this moment, something strange happened.

Mashana, who survived two consecutive attacks of "Shadow Claw", perfectly seized the opportunity to use "telekinesis" and prepared to fix Tornado's body in front of the monster's force.

However, the next moment, its "telekinesis" was easily disintegrated by the fire fox without a trace left.

The Flamecat soared into the air and "jetted flames", and the blazing pillar of fire immediately enveloped the monster.

At the same time, the Fire Fox's "telekinesis" changed the form of this move, turning it into a "flame vortex" that enveloped both the strange power and Masana!

Mashana, who was already struggling to hold on, immediately lost his ability to fight. Although his strong body could still hold on, he was burned by the combined efforts of Heat Cat and Fire Fox.

Seeing this, Fujishu broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that he had to break the tacit cooperation between the opponent's two elves.

So he immediately made a desperate attempt and used his strength to use "Earth Shattering". He was not trying to predict the landing point and timing of the Flamecat to kill it with one blow, but to jump over it and eliminate the opponent's Fire Fox who was proficient in "telekinesis"!
If Fire Fox uses "telekinesis" to protect itself, it will cause Tornado to be hit directly by the "Ground Fissure".

If Fire Fox uses "telekinesis" to protect Tornado, he will have to face the "earth crack" of strange power by himself!
It’s a pity that this level of planning naturally doesn’t work on Firefox.

"Earth crack" what "earth crack"? The changeable "telekinesis" directly threw the strange power into the air!
After landing, the Flamecat used the force to kick up into the air again, and when it was still unable to regain its balance due to being thrown into the air, it attacked the monster from behind with the "Swallow Return". Then the Fire Fox created a "reflection wall" in the air to provide it with a foothold, and the Flamecat once again flexibly "Swallow Return", completely making the monster lose its ability to fight.

Even because the interaction between the two sides was inside the "flame vortex", even though Fujiki realized the seriousness of the problem, he could only stare blankly and allow his opponent to attack at will.

After a moment, the Tornado Cat that had landed on the ground arrogantly "flexed its muscles" in front of the fighter.

As the strange power landed, the fire fox dispersed the "flame vortex", revealing two elves that had lost their ability to fight.

"..."

Link was very satisfied with this. It seemed that not only their strength but also the elves' autonomy and decision-making ability were improving.

"Come back, Qili, Mashana."

Fujiki looked solemnly at his opponent who remained silent during the battle, and felt a huge pressure.

The two opponent's elves cooperated too well, and he had to find a way to break this wave-like continuous coordination in order to have a chance of winning.

The problem was that he had no time to think and had to interrupt Tornado's "bodybuilding".

For so long I can only rely on my instincts to find a way to survive!

"Go! War Dancer, Iron Palm Warrior!"

The moment he replaced the last two elves, an inexplicable wave swept across the entire battlefield, affecting the energy of both sides.

According to Link's judgment, the "Reversal Space" with the same system as the "Magic Space" at -6 was finally set up by Fire Fox.

In this way, restraint turns into resistance, and resistance turns into restraint. The sudden change in the laws of physics can easily cause the opponent to misjudge.

Fujishu frowned unconsciously, unable to analyze what his opponent had done.

But now I have no choice but to go ahead with it!

The strange-looking war dancer, with his head on the ground, showed his "intimidation" with his teeth and claws, while the tall iron palm warrior "did a surprise attack by high-five" the moment he appeared.

Since it was closer to the opponent, Tornado didn't care about it.

Meow, I was brought up to be scared, and you still want to scare me?

Ridiculous!
It just "arrogantly" went up and punched the strange-looking thing away!
The War Dancer was badly injured and flew into the air. The slower Iron Palm Warrior's attack finally arrived, and he used his powerful palms to continuously strike out the ground-attributed "Push and Stomp".

The "stomp" that should have caused great damage to the Heat Cat was less effective than expected, so it immediately reorganized and broke away from the attack range at an explosive speed, jumping over it and pouncing on the falling War Dancer.

Seeing this, Zhan Wulang immediately turned his body in the air and performed a high-speed rotating "three-kick" headfirst, but his body was fixed by the "telekinesis" of the Fire Fox, and he was hit hard again by the Heat Cat and was eliminated.

Fujishu's headache grew worse as he saw this, but he also seized the opportunity.

"Iron Palm Warrior, use "Heavy Impact" on the Fire Fox!"

Upon hearing this, Iron Palm Warrior immediately attacked with all his might with the mentality of "survival from a desperate situation", and tried his best to eliminate the Fire Fox who was weak in defense while the Tornado was too far away from his teammates.

However, just when it was halfway through its "heavy attack", it saw the Fire Fox's figure flash and exchange positions with the Tornado Cat.

The high-spirited Tornado Cat engaged in close combat with the Iron Palm Warrior regardless of the possibility of injury.

Although the opponent's level and durability are slightly stronger than it.

But in the end, the previous "bodybuilding" worked, allowing Tornado to kill the gym leader's ace with difficulty.
