Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 312 When the Assault Team Has a Main Tank
It's time to end the battle between Moonbear and the assault team in the Dream Sky series of battles!
Because Link was stuck with Moonbear for longer than he had anticipated, he didn't receive any substantial rewards like GO Power Candy, Struggle Stone, or Mastery Seed during his month-long Dream Sky Battle.

That being said, the series of fierce battles did indeed improve the basic abilities of both humans and spirits...

But starting tonight, everything will be different—

Talebagos has joined the assault team of Mengtian Lianzhan!

As for why the turtle, who is afraid of fighting, would appear in this battlefield littered with bones, it's because Link made a shady deal with it.

If Talebagos agrees to test and hone his defensive abilities in the Dream Sky Battle, he will agree to slightly increase the time the tortoise spends playing in the Dream Realm.

It sounds similar to "If you get first place in the final exam, I'll buy you a PS5 (crossed out), I'll buy you an NS2," which is the ultimate weapon that every parent will pull out when their child is not studying properly.

However, Talebagos, who had never experienced anything like this before, was quite satisfied with it. It could train its defensive abilities in a safe environment and increase its playtime in the Dreamland. Why wouldn't it do it?

however……

"Taylorgos was instantly killed!"

"Reorganize! Hurry up and re-form!"

“Help, help, help!”

"Uh, 'Earth Power'..."

"Don't eat 'earthquake'!"

Perhaps because it was its first time participating in such an intense (and unequal) battle, Talebagos was instantly defeated by Moonbear's Ground-type "Pounce" before it even had a chance to use its defensive skills at the beginning of the battle.

As it turns out, once the difference in strength becomes irreversible, even the "Taijing Shell's" natural immunity to ground-type energy from flight-type energy, and its 4x resistance to cordyceps-type energy, cannot guarantee that it can withstand a single blow from the Moon Bear.

The one-sided battle, where the odds were heavily against each other, came to an end. Even after Talebagos was resurrected, his eyes still showed confusion.

Is this the kind of battle you guys usually play?
"Not really, but compared to this kind of battle, don't the battles we experience in real life seem child's play?"

Talebagos shook its head repeatedly, as it was not suited to either type.

When the Moon Bear charged and pounced on it for the entire round, it was so scared that it couldn't move at all.

The fire fox patted the tortoise's head. Even so, after actually "dying" once, it had actually gotten a little used to it, hadn't it?

The battle wasn't actually that scary or terrifying.

For many elves, this is actually a way to play.

Talebagos doesn't think fighting the Moon Bear is a game.

However, its immediate death did indeed ignite a fighting spirit within it—was its defensive capabilities, which Kobayashi and the others had praised for so long, merely a fragile decoration that could be easily broken?
This was just its first attempt and it lacked experience, but next time it will be better prepared and will surely make Moonbear return empty-handed!

So, the turtle, who was proud of its defensive capabilities, tried the Dream Sky Battle again.

This time, it activated "Iron Wall" in advance to maximize its defensive capabilities and finally withstood the Moon Bear's attack!
But it was only a single strike. When Moon Bear followed up with "Brick Break" in the next second, Talebagos was shattered into pieces again.

Multiverse has recorded it.

[Compared to other moves, sound-based moves and Brick Break are more effective against Talebages.] Fortunately, Talebages' death was not in vain, as the attacking team's Pokémon used the opportunity it gained to launch a combined attack on Umbreon.

Unfortunately, such a short time was not enough to defeat Moon Bear, and everyone was ultimately shattered...

The resurrected turtle has found a certain trick. By enduring fierce attacks beyond its capacity, it has gained a deeper understanding of its own durability and how to resist attacks through its "Taijing Shell".

Next, it will attack in the form of a star crystal!
Having become increasingly adept at defense, Talebages finally displayed a dazzling performance in battle.

Not only can it withstand the fierce attacks of Moonbear, but it can also create crystals to divide the field and maintain the battle line under the "healing wave" of its teammates behind it, forcing Moonbear to focus its attention on it in front of it.

Taking advantage of this time, the other Pokémon in the assault team were no longer facing the situation of dying at the drop of a hat, and had the spare energy to deal with the troublesome Ursaring while avoiding the opponent's attacks (aftermath).

Aside from "Earthquake" and "Rockfall," the Moonbear, which had almost no wide-range attack methods, perished along with Talebagh under the combined assault of Link's treasure and the Pokémon.

A hard-fought battle finally ended. When Talebagos, which had been shattered by the Moon Bear's dying counterattack, was resurrected, it was met with enthusiastic cheers from the attack team's elves!

It's been over a month!

They finally defeated the Moon Bear!

The timid Talebagos was seeing such a passionate scene for the first time, and instinctively hid behind Link.

It was somewhat at a loss as to how to face the situation.

Link pushed the turtle toward the elves: "At this time, just smile. Also, don't get too excited too soon."

Without even a moment's mourning for the death of the Moon Bear, the next one to enter the arena was the Ghost Tail Black Fish, who could manipulate will-o'-the-wisps at will and fight against groups of monsters single-handedly!
Before the attack team could even celebrate, they were wiped out by a single attack from the Darktail Blackfish.

That concludes tonight's attack. It's time to devise a new strategy for dealing with the Dark Tail Black Fish...

……

Meng Tianlian's battles are terrifying!!!
Afterwards, back in the café, Talebagh complained bitterly, saying he had never been beaten so many times in his life.

However, faced with the expectant eyes of the task force members, it finally agreed to continue the following night.

Well, with other Pokémon supporting it from behind, it's not that scary for the turtle.

However, once the initial enthusiasm wore off, Talebagos immediately regretted it in its heart—it hated itself for agreeing to the assault team's request so easily!

In any case, five months have passed, and the assault team has finally obtained a main tank capable of withstanding the outrageous attacks of the opposing elves.

“It seems to be gradually adapting to modern life.” Miao, who was in the coffee shop, looked at Link with a smile. “Perhaps it won’t be long before Talebagos is no longer so timid.”

"Being cautious is a good thing, but being timid is a bit too much. I also hope that Turtle can accept this world and other elves."

In the prehistoric era when Talebages lived, it was a matter of killing or being killed; the immense pressure to survive fell equally on almost every elf.

But things are different in modern times; people can fully enjoy simple kindness and the beauty of life.

While using the Dream Sky Battle to improve one's defensive capabilities, it would be even better if one could make some new friends.
