Chapter 93 Is your Eevee really legal...? (Seeking first subscription!)

"It's Mimikyuu?"

(The image shows Mimikyu's attack method)
Upon seeing the Pokémon sent by Okamoto, Aoba nodded.

Mimikyu has a very small distribution range in Padia, so being able to capture it is considered very lucky.

As he observed his opponent's Pokémon, information about this Mimikyu appeared before his eyes as several paragraphs of text.

【The Mysterious Hill (Male)】

[Attribute: Ghost + Fairy]

[Feature: Painted Skin]

This Pokémon is amazing.

Its unique combination of attributes makes it excellent in both offense and defense, and it also possesses a unique god-like characteristic.

The "painted skin" refers to the Pikachu puppet costume that covers its body.

Since its true form is a ghost capable of becoming ethereal at will, this suit can help it block at least one attack in most situations.

In Pokémon battles, the strength of this ability is self-evident.

Especially in slower-paced singles matches, getting a chance to directly enhance your sword dance with almost no risk could very well lead to a clean sweep of the opponent...

However, it seems that it wouldn't matter if the tactics I'm going to use today were given a chance to be strengthened?
While Aoba was pondering, Okamoto was also silently observing Eevee on the opposite side.

Eevee is a very timid Pokémon, so logically it should command Mimikyu to launch a quick and powerful attack.

but……

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Watching Eevee, the "Emperor Engine," roar at full power, Okamoto felt himself being gradually enveloped by an invisible, immense pressure, and even his breathing became somewhat rapid.

Let's be careful. I have a feeling that Gym Leader Aoba's Pokémon aren't as simple as they seem.

We learned our lesson from the last time we ate at the mushroom stall.

"Mimimita, use Sword Dance to boost your power, then start the attack!"

First, take advantage of the first-strike opportunity given by the gym battle rules to strengthen yourself on the spot, then use the Draft move to close the distance in one go, while also improving your speed.

Okamoto felt that his command was correct.

Mimikyu remained stationary, its tail, encased in a leather sheath, held high, subtly assuming the starting stance for a sword dance.

"It's a good idea."

Qingyu smiled slightly.

This young Okamoto's conducting skills have improved quite quickly.

However, there is still room for improvement.

The moves have already been revealed, so what's the point of hiding them anymore?

"Since this is our second time challenging the gym, let's try some more advanced battle modes this time!"

After Qingyu finished speaking, he slowly took out the Taijing Bead and, under Okamoto's bewildered gaze, slowly pulled the trigger.

"Unleash the power of crystallization, Eevee!"

During the Champion Road assessment, the eight gym leaders can use Crystallize to enhance any of their Pokémon.

It is said that President Ye Ci also intends to gradually popularize the Taijing Beads among the outstanding students of Orange Academy.

Therefore, in order to adapt to this change in advance, Qingyu also needs to start familiarizing herself with the wonderful mechanism of adding Taijing to the battle and keep up with their pace.

And his choice was—

Countless shimmering crystal fragments rained down from the sky, quickly forming a solid armor around Eevee's body.

At the same time, abundant crystal energy quickly gathered on Eevee's head, rapidly forming a crystal crown shaped like a skull and exuding a dangerous aura.

"Taijing Poison?"

Okamoto quickly realized what was happening.

Poison is indeed an excellent defensive attribute, and the Mimikyu's Grass attack is likely to be resisted, so the damage it causes is probably negligible.

But it doesn't matter, as long as I can get close.

Because the Poison-type Crystallize effect temporarily overrides Eevee's normal type, Mimikyu's Shadow Claw move can now deal normal damage to Eevee.

It's not necessarily a bad thing.

If Eevee can land several Shadow Claws in a row thanks to the speed boost from the draft, it's unlikely to be able to withstand it.

Just as he was thinking this, Nemo, who had been silently watching from the sidelines, revealed a look of pity.

Sure enough, I guessed it right.

This challenger had no idea what disgusting tactics he was about to face...

While the painted skin can block most attacks, what if Teacher Qingyu never intended to win through offense from the beginning? "Eevee, absorb the excess power of the Taijing fragments."

Ibrahimovic doesn't need to say anything; he can understand it on his own.

Qingyu spoke at a very opportune moment, just as Mimikyu finished using Swords Dance to boost its stats and was about to leap towards Eevee at its trainer's command.

Without the support of the ground, Mimikyu had no chance to dodge before landing.

Eevee shook its body, gathering the excess crystal energy at its tail, and soon a bewitching pinkish-purple appeared at the tip of its tail.

This is precisely Qingyu and Eevee's new understanding of the crystallization mechanism!

Logically speaking, absorbing poisonous energy could also lead to poisoning.

However, due to the effect of the Crystal Armor, the toxins could not penetrate Eevee's body at all, but only accumulated rapidly on the surface of its body.

Before long, Eevee casually flicked its big, fluffy tail.

A small amount of venom was quickly flung away with its movement, and some of it quickly stuck to Mimikyu's Pikachu shell due to inertia.

The highly corrosive venom immediately tore a small hole in the cardboard, allowing the eerie and bewitching purple energy to seep inside.

Since Aoba did not give any clear instructions, and Okamoto could only see Mimikyu's back at that moment, he did not notice this at all.

In the blink of an eye, Mimikyu had already leaped in front of Eevee and used Headbutt to smash its opponent.

"Buyi!"

Even without Qingyu shouting "Get out of the way!", Eevee, whose attention was extremely focused due to tension, instantly jumped back a step and barely dodged Mimikyu's attack.

"Tsk...so agile."

Okamoto clicked his tongue in amazement, but his expression clearly showed delight.

Judging from its performance just now, he was right; this Eevee was indeed not good at close combat.

With the dual enhancements of Drafting and Sword Dance, Mimikyu's combat power has greatly increased, and it should be able to defeat it easily!

Finally, I was able to take down the Sunny Gym and gain the approval of Gym Leader Blue Feather!

Okamoto raised his head smugly.

“Mimicry…”

However, at that moment, Mimikyu suddenly let out a painful cry, and even its previously erect suit drooped down.

"The Mysterious Hill?"

Okamoto's expression changed drastically in an instant.

It was only then that he noticed the tear on Mimikyu's Pikachu cardboard.

And a faint purple light emanating from it.

Is this... poisoning?

No, judging from its appearance, it's not an ordinary toxin, but a much more troublesome and deadly poison!
But, when?
Okamoto quickly replayed the brief exchange in his mind, recalling the details.

Finally, the moment Mimikyu used the Draft Jump, he got the answer.

So that's how it was. They used the opportunity of crystallization to use a highly toxic substance?
Poisoning is a troublesome condition that will continuously deplete a Pokémon's stamina until it collapses.

The effects of highly toxic substances are even more potent; the toxins accumulate over time, eventually erupting in full force...

Okamoto looked up and noticed Aoba's confident smile.

His slightly upturned lips instantly plummeted to the bottom, and he began to twitch in embarrassment.

I understand the reason.

But Ibrahimovic probably can't learn the Toxic move, right? Who would believe that if they told me!
Master Qingyu, is your Eevee really legal...?

As an outstanding second-year student at Orange Academy, Okamoto's basic skills are quite solid.

He quickly grasped the situation.

Now that Mimicry is poisoned, he has only one choice left, and that is—

Before the poison's effects fully kick in, we must defeat the Blue Feather Gym Leader's Eevee in one fell swoop!

Thinking of this, Okamoto's eyes gradually hardened.

After taking a deep breath, he once again gave a decisive command:
"Mimimitar, charge in and use Shadow Claw!"

This is a race against time.

But as long as Mimikyu launches its attack, everything will be alright!
