Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 46: Link Loses His Ability to Fight
Today, A Liu is not yet the gym owner or one of the Four Heavenly Kings in the future, but even so, he has the ability to collect 8 badges and participate in the alliance conference.

Restraint, tactics, and knowledge can all determine victory or defeat, but these are actually options that cannot achieve numerical crushing.

Absolute level suppression is still the biggest factor for success... I believe all the elves in the Axe Mantis's ultimate assault team have deeply experienced this.

Fortunately, this battle was not for victory, but to test whether the sacred plan and the badge of knowledge really had the effect of enhancing the elves as Link expected.

"Go ahead, poisonous powder moth, hunting swallowtail butterfly!"

"Fire Fox, Fire Cat, prepare to fight."

Seeing that Link had indeed sent out two small Fire-type Pokémon, Liu, who had been expecting his opponent to have another main force, looked strange. No matter how he looked at it, they could not be a match for these two Butterfly Pokémon that had cleared eight gyms in a row under his leadership, right?
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Link smiled kindly. "To be honest, my Fire Fox is only one week old."

Ah Liu was even more speechless: "Who is helping whom with special training?"

Hearing this, Link did not respond. If he continued, he would probably have to pay A Liu.

He looked at the two elves sent by his opponent and recalled some of their information in his mind.

A hunting swallowtail butterfly, a special attacker with the insect-flying attribute. His characteristics are insect premonition and fighting spirit, and he is good at using his mouthparts as a weapon to attack.

The poisonous powder moth has a special shield against insect poison. Its characteristics are probably its scale powder and compound eyes. The scale powder is poisonous so you need to pay attention, but it is not very strong.

At the same time, he looked at the sacred plan in his hand.

Sure enough, while he was thinking, the badge on it was also flashing a faint light.

What does this depend on, the activeness of the mind or the curiosity and thirst for knowledge?

"What is that?" A Liu noticed the prop in the opponent's hand.

"Z pure crystal, probably."

As he spoke, Link clenched the Divine Plan and tried to transfer his strength and thoughts to the fire fox in front of him.

The latter wagged its tail, clearly feeling that it was in one mind with the trainer behind it, and came up with many plans in its mind targeting the characteristics of the other two Pokémon.

Noticing the rapid loss of physical strength, Link became certain of his guess!

So he called out the move that didn't belong to Fire Fox -

"Super Strong Ultimate Flame Bomb!"

At this moment, Fire Fox and its trainer understood each other and used its most powerful fire-attribute move - "Spark".

An accident happened.

The Fire Fox's move, which originally could only spit out three or five scattered sparks, suddenly changed and formed a fireball whose diameter was larger than the height of three adults.

"Muffuuu!!!"

As the move was completed, the Fire Fox used its "telekinesis" to throw the huge fireball at the poisonous powder moth and the hunting swallowtail butterfly.

Faced with an attack that was so shocking that even talking about it to others would be shocking, Ah Liu hurriedly ordered the elves to respond: "Toxic powder moths, hunting swallowtail butterflies, use the "wire trap"!"

The two elves immediately ejected threads that were as hard as steel, forming a huge network in front of them.

The incendiary bomb smashed straight into it, causing an explosion that nearly engulfed the entire battlefield!
"Ni...Niamh?"

The flamingo was so frightened that even its cry was not as loud as usual...

However, A Liu realized that he could not block this move head-on and should fly upwards out of the explosion range from the beginning.

After a while, the flames and smoke dissipated. The heat wave brought by the high temperature melted all the snow on and around the battlefield, and the weak and durable poisonous powder moths and hunting swallowtail butterflies were obviously seriously damaged.

And on the other side...

Link and Fire Fox both fell to the ground, losing their ability to fight.

"Ah? Xiaolin?"

A Liu was confused. Why was the trainer lying down?
Since the opponent's trainer has lost his ability to fight, I am the winner of this battle?

Never heard of it!
Regardless, this doubles match ended abruptly due to an accident...

……

After a long time, when Link woke up, he found himself lying on the sofa, the fire fox was licking his face, and it was almost dusk outside.

"What a strange ceiling! How long have I slept?"

"Three days."

After hearing this, A Liu, who was sitting at the desk reading quietly, looked at him.

Link's face darkened. Wouldn't that mean the boat ticket to Blowing Fire Island was wasted?

But soon Ah Liu couldn't help laughing again and said, "Actually it took half a day. Miss Joy said that you and Firefox were just exhausted, so I left you at my house to rest for a while."

He heaved a sigh of relief: "Well, I didn't expect that this move would consume all the physical strength of me and Fire Fox. It seems that I should practice more."

Then came the talk of mistakes, demonstrations, not accepting disciples, and the price that must be paid to display powerful fire-attribute moves.

Although Liu didn't quite understand what was said, he could figure out that the brick with the LCD screen in the other party's hand probably played some role.

So he asked curiously: "What is Z pure crystal?"

"An energy crystal native to the Alola region, which is the hometown of this Litten. It allows trainers to transfer their fighting spirit, energy, and physical strength to Pokémon, allowing them to release powerful and effective moves that surpass ordinary moves.

"When facing such a move, both "Protection" and "Wire Trap" of the same level can be easily torn apart. If you encounter it, try to dodge it if you can."

Just like moves like "Protect" and "Invisible Rock" are no longer rule-based skills, Z moves in reality certainly cannot have the effects of [Guaranteed Hit] and [Invincible Penetration].

But for Link, who personally used the "Super Extreme Flame Bomb", under the condition that both sides are equal in strength, this move can definitely be a move that can determine the victory!
Of course, the price was also very high. Now he and Fire Fox couldn't even use this move completely, so they fought until they couldn't fight anymore (exhausted their strength) and then both fainted due to exhaustion.

Link now felt as tired as if he had been forced to run a thousand meters after three days and three nights. If someone asked him to do physical work now, he would die of exhaustion in front of the other person.

But...

"Fu (tilts head)?"

Should I be called an elf?

Link was almost exhausted, but the fire fox had recovered and was full of energy, jumping up and down, looking much more excited than usual.

"Meow~"

Litten looked at his trainer in confusion, unable to understand when the other party got the Z-Crystal from his father, and it didn't look like the other party was holding something in his hand.

"Fuzi, the Z-Crystal is just a medium for Necrozma's energy. No matter who uses a Z-Move, it is essentially the Trainer who infuses his or her own strength and emotions into the Pokémon. Similar items produced elsewhere will do, and even if one has enough strength and emotions, one can still use a Z-Move without a Z-Crystal."

But actually these are just Link's guesses. Let's go to the Dream Realm tonight and ask what the dream is really like.
