Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 336 Cheerful Strawberry Mushroom?

After nearly half a year of practice, Link finally faced this challenge.

Looking at the competition venue, which had been renovated in just two days, he was filled with emotion.

"It's a wonder the Hoenn League agreed to let Fathead Fish into battle; have they gone mad?"

"Fu~"

Even foxes cannot understand humans.

Ancient Pokémon like Kyogre can destroy an entire region in an instant. As long as it hides in the sea and brings rain, current human technology is simply no match for it.

The appearance of such a Pokémon on the field is like a dream come true...

Link looked at the champions in the audience, who were on guard against any unexpected situations, and thought to himself that from today onwards they would be freed from the highest level of combat power in a region.

It doesn't matter. Let the Hoenn people worry about it themselves. As a trainer, he doesn't need to think too much. He just needs to think about how to win this battle.

On the other side of the battlefield, Haruka was also very serious. Today's battle was the most important of all the battles so far.

She certainly didn't think Link could defeat a legendary Pokémon of the Cataclysmic level. No matter how overpowered that Fennekin was, it had its limits. But Kyogre's debut was of great significance to the entire Hoenn region.

Therefore, we have no choice but to give it our all in today's match!

With both trainers in position, instructions came from the Hoenn League. The referee, who had moved to the off-field, signaled to both sides that the battle had officially begun.

"Come out, Mushroom!"

"Fire Fox, prepare for battle."

As both teams' Pokémon entered the arena, Link noticed that May's starting Pokémon today was a rather cheerful-looking Breloom.

However, its opponents in previous battles probably didn't think that way. Putting aside the "Poison Heal" ability, "Trouble Seed" and "Mushroom Spore" that sleeps on the left and then on the right were also particularly troublesome.

But none of this mattered to the fire fox; it wouldn't casually swap dangerous items onto itself.

As soon as it appeared, the Mushroom charged towards its opponent with agile movements and light steps.

In the blink of an eye, his short arms stretched dozens of times longer, attempting to use a "sonic punch" to throw the "poisonous" powder at his opponent.

The fire fox remained unmoved and immediately used "Psychic Power" to pin the mushroom to the spot.

The hooded mushroom, which fell to the ground, was hit and two "seeds" "fell out" from its tail, and the "mushroom spores" inside immediately exploded.

Even so, both the hoodoo mushroom and the "mushroom spores" were immobilized by the powerful superpowers and could not move an inch.

"Hylocereus-mushi, use 'Throw'!"

The Dark attribute move of throwing items at the opponent as consumables is somewhat uncommon, but at this moment, it interferes with the stability of "Psychic" with Dark attribute energy.

The toxic orb was hurled at the Fire Fox by the Breath of the Breath, but the dark energy mixed in with it made it unrealistic for psychic powers to interfere with its trajectory.

The fire fox was unconcerned and, taking advantage of its opponent's exertion, set off "magical flames" on its body, burning away all the powder, seeds, and spores on the lizard mushroom's body.

The poisonous orb that approached it also failed to have any effect. The "Miracle Eye" allowed the superpower to easily break through the interference of the evil energy, so that the orb was controlled before it even flew out for a second.

Fennekin's psychic powers were stronger than before, and Breloom's Dark-type moves were not enough to break through the psychic barrier. Based on this judgment, May quickly took out her Poké Balls to switch, but the beam of light she shone out was blocked by the vortex created by Fennekin's psychic powers and "Magical Flame".

Superpowers counter Fighting, and Fire counters Grass.

They should have rotated out the opponent's starting lineup as soon as they discovered it was Fire Fox. That being said, the poison injected into Breloom by the Poison Orb was restoring its stamina at an unusually fast rate, allowing it to barely hold on for a while even while surrounded by "magical flames".

What May was aiming for was the moment when Fennekin used "Flame Vortex" to interfere with the moment when her "Psychic" strength decreased during her Poké Ball rotation!

Actually, hooded mushrooms can "dig holes"!

Just as the "Flame Vortex" blocked the view, the Breathy took the opportunity to break free from the control of "Psychic" and used several hands to "dig" into the underground of the battlefield.

It actually tried to ambush the fire fox.

"Fu?"

Link silently recalled the fire fox that had placed the poison orb somewhere and sent out the next Pokémon.

"Fiery Roaring Tiger, prepare for battle." Before the words were finished, it added, "Earthquake at the location of the Poison Orb."

Incineroar's appearance was immediately followed by an "earthquake," which sent the burrowing Breloom flying dozens of feet into the air, instantly rendering it unable to fight.

It's clear that May really wants to weaken Link's Pokémon through strategy. If her opponent wasn't Fennekin, she might actually be able to spread "Mushroom Spores" all over the field.

However, no matter what, it's still too difficult to use moves like Dust, Spores, or Seeds to deal with Fire-type Pokémon that are basically immune to them.

"Hawthorn mushroom, thank you for your hard work."

Haruka quickly retracted her Breloom, but Link, with his sharp eyes, still noticed something amiss.

The lizard mushroom has four seeds on its tail. Two seeds fell off when the fire fox pressed it to the ground with "Psychic Power". The seeds were not completely burned off when the mushroom was burned by "Flame Vortex" because it stretched its tail out as much as possible.

However, just as it was shaken out of the ground by the Fiery Roaring Tiger's "Earthquake," not a single seed remained on its tail...

Where did the two missing "mushroom spores" go?
Link looked down at the battlefield and got a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Haruka and Breloom's traps and strategies are intricately linked, and they are adept at taking advantage of their opponents' carelessness. They seem cheerful, but they are actually quite cunning.

However, he has no right to say that.

With Breloom's near-suicide exit, May sent out a new Pokémon.

"Go, Tanabata Blue Bird!"

Link: "?"

So you also have a Qixi Bluebird?
The Altaria, with its cloud-like form, appeared in mid-air and had a great advantage over Incineroar, a Pokémon that was on the ground.

After repeatedly battling Link, May fully understood the value of rotation.

Therefore, she also knew...

"White mist." "Here are the harsh words."

Link could easily replace Incineroar with the more powerful Dragon-type Pokémon Dragonite to fight Altaria.

But this will lead you into her trap—the Mega Evolution Altaria has mutated and become a true dragon killer!
However, the next instant, she saw that when the Fiery Roaring Tiger left the field, it left behind a branch that looked like a magical girl's transformation wand.

The elf that Link replaced was even more unexpected for her.

"Fire Fox, prepare for battle."

Why is it Fire Fox again?
