Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 33: Axe Mantis Desperate Battle (40 players)
“Hello everyone, I’m Link, a trainer from Duskwater.

“The dream realm is wonderful and mysterious, and the Rainbow Bridge occasionally takes us to incredible mazes or more special places.

“Two days ago, I discovered a strange space where a mysterious voice used clouds and mist to create powerful elves for visitors to challenge.

"Miao called it the 'Dream Heaven Battle'. It is said that as long as you win, you can realize all kinds of wishes. If you win in a row, you may even have the chance to meet those great beings that only exist in legends.

“So I would like to invite everyone here. If you want to become stronger, challenge yourself, discover the unknown, explore legends, witness legends, and realize your wishes, please join my adventure team here!

"Let us form a community of destiny and take on the extremely difficult challenges left by the mysterious existence together!"

Seeing their trainer inviting guests in the cafe to go to a place called "Dream Sky Battle", Fire Fox and Water Dolphin, who were waiting for the meal, were very curious.

That mysterious challenge, aren’t the two of them enough?

"Meng Tianlian Zhan, finally someone wants to challenge that..."

"Since you are a trainer, you should bring your own Pokémon to challenge..."

"In the past, champions came to challenge and were beaten stupidly. He looks like a newcomer, so he will be beaten even more if he goes."

"Every opponent inside is stronger than the legendary elves. It's useless for us to go there."

"What are you afraid of? No matter how strong the Axe Mantis is, there is only one of them. Can't we just attack together?"

"You don't understand how powerful the Pokémon there are. Even if Ho-Oh goes there, he will be beaten into a Toucan."

"Is it really that amazing? I'm going to give it a try!"

Although most elves are not interested in a place where they will be beaten, there are still many who are fearless and will not turn back until they hit the wall.

Anyway, getting hurt or even dying in a dream is only a temporary pain. Isn't the chance to face a strong opponent and strive to realize one's wish an opportunity that most of them, who live in cramped places in reality, can only encounter but not seek?

If you really can't win and don't see a glimmer of hope, just quit on the spot and let the adventure group disband right there.

So, about ten minutes later, Link gathered a large team of 40 elves in the cafe.

In fact, they could have formed a larger team, but he instinctively felt that if there were more elves, the strength of Meng Tian's opponents would also increase.

What era is it now? Who would still fight alone like Ali did? Of course, everyone should fight together!
The humans and elves had their last meal in the cafe, and followed Link to the place where he died twice two days ago.

It was still that foggy open space, as if it had been specially created for battle.

After coming here, the light of the Qianzhou Wrist shone again on Link's waist, and he obtained a temporary treasure.

In the air, the mysterious sound sounded again.

"This is the place where you can conduct dream battles and improve your strength at a cheating speed while sleeping.

"Here, you will randomly encounter various Pokémon, engage in high-intensity battles, and receive rewards based on the number of wins.

"Then let's begin, the dreamlike martial arts performance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the mist gathered and formed a ferocious elf about three meters tall.

The king of the forest, the axe mantis!
Link, who came for the second time, had anticipated this and threw the treasure in his hand when it was about to take shape.

Having supplemented his physical attributes to 12, he was no longer weak. The Zhenbao who was rushing over hit him accurately at the moment when the Axe Mantis took shape and gained the ability to move.

It was clearly just a light ray of light, but it caused a slight stiffness when it hit the Axe Mantis.

Seeing this, the elves immediately seized the opportunity and used their best long-range moves. They weakened the opponent before being dragged into close combat. This was the tactic they had discussed on the way here.

A large number of moves collided with each other, causing violent smoke to erupt.

But before the smoke spread, Link and many elves clearly saw that Axe Mantis had regained its ability to move before being hit by the move.

The situation is not good!
"Keep suppressing the back row!" Link said hurriedly.

However, the next moment, a brown figure rushed forward towards the group that clearly outnumbered them!
Link immediately threw a magic weapon at it, and commanded: "Electromagnetic waves and rock blockade."

In order to deal with an opponent that is far stronger than oneself, it is necessary to limit its speed and mobility.

But this level of tactics had already been seen through by the Axe Mantis.

Whether it was "electromagnetic waves" or "rock blockade", or long-range attacks from other elves on its path, none of them worked.

Because, what rushed out from the fog was actually its "shadow clone".

The real Axe Mantis is still staying in the smoke formed by the collision of moves, and is strengthening its abilities to the limit at an astonishing speed through "high-speed movement", "sword dance" and "energy gathering"!

The Flying Pokémon realized this and used Clear Fog.

What came into view were dozens of "shadow clones" that looked exactly like the Axe Mantis gathered in a small space.

At this moment, they all raised the "Rock Axe" in their hands and pointed contemptuously at different elves in the adventure group.

It's as if to say -

I'll beat up all of you!
Immediately afterwards, a large number of shadows charged towards different elves!
This was trouble. Link thought to himself that it was not good and quickly asked Firefox to open the "Eye of Miracle".

A rainbow light appeared in the latter's eyes.

After all, "shadow clones" are not entities but afterimages, and are obviously different from real elves from an energy perspective.

With just one glance, Fire Fox could tell that all the Axe Mantises were fake.

"On its head!"

It turned out that without anyone noticing, the Axe Mantis had flown above everyone, and at a speed so fast that its shadow was almost invisible, it "sneak-attacked" the Fiery Roaring Tiger that dared to threaten it.

Seeing this, Link threw out the treasure as if he was gambling on his luck.

The light from the Qianzhou Wrist unexpectedly hit the Axe Mantis that was falling at high speed, causing it to become stiff.

Seeing this, Roaring Tiger sneered, seized the opportunity accurately, grabbed the Axe Mantis that was upside down, did a backflip and spiraled up into the sky, and with a "Hell Roll" he threw himself and the Axe Mantis to the ground at the same time.

A group of elves wanted to go forward to support, but the spinning Axe Mantis scattered many translucent rocks all over the venue.

All the elves that touched these rocks caused violent explosions, and were turned into ashes by the successive explosions and chain reactions.

When it reached the highest point, the Axe Mantis used its powerful strength to break free from the Roaring Tiger's restraints and cut it in half with one move of "Rock Axe".

As Axe Mantis landed on the ground, there were no more Pokémon standing on the field. Even Link and the Fire Fox and Water Dolphin watching in the back row were unfortunately blown to pieces by the chain explosions formed by the "Invisible Rock".

Meng Tian failed again in his first challenge in Lian Zhan, and the Axe Mantis turned into mist again.
