Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 174 Li Xuan cleverly takes over Sakaki
In the sight of the Abandoned Monkey, everything slowed down.

The flow of time seemed to be stretched tenfold.

The cat boss, who was previously as ghostly and unpredictable as it was, now turned his thrusts into a funny slow motion, with even the falling hair frozen in mid-air.

The sharp claws that were flashing with a faint light were now approaching its throat at a snail's pace, even slower than a snail!

But the cat boss hadn't noticed anything was wrong yet, and continued to charge towards the Abandoned Monkey!

Its paw pads lightly touched the ice surface, and instantly an astonishing catapulting force erupted, and its glowing claws went straight for the Abandoned Monkey's temple!

"Cross chop!"

"Abandon the drink!"

The Abandoned Monkey seemed to have predicted all the trajectories, and the movement of twisting its waist left a purple-black afterimage.

The moment his arms crossed, the cross light blade condensed from fighting energy accurately slashed towards the Cat Boss's advancing route!
boom!
In the mist of exploding ice crystals, two figures crossed each other.

A cross-shaped burn mark suddenly appeared on the cat boss's snow-white fur. It staggered back a few steps, and cracks appeared on its ruby ​​forehead ornament.

The Abandoned Monkey was also feeling uncomfortable. The shock wave generated by the collision of the two energies hit it hard, consuming a lot of its physical strength.

"As expected of a champion-level cat boss, his strength is truly formidable."

Li Xuan was secretly shocked. This was the Cross Chop that was blessed by the "help" moves of four Pokémon, but when fighting against the Cat Boss, the move could only cause normal injuries?
If this had been replaced by a king-level Pokémon of the same level, it would have probably been seriously injured.

This shows how powerful the cat boss trained by Sakaki is.

It is not something that generals like Lambda and Lance can deal with.

The difference is obvious.

Sakaki merely glanced at the Abandoned Monkey, who was half-kneeling on the ground and struggling to get up, and ordered the Cat Boss to continue the attack: "Use Playful."

"Meow!"

The ruby ​​on Cat Boss's forehead suddenly emitted a strange pink light, and his entire body was wrapped in fairy energy, turning into a dreamy pink ball of light.

It leaped up lightly, and its seemingly playful attack was filled with chilling murderous intent!
The Abandoned Monkey raised his eyes, and in his sight, the figure of the cat boss wrapped in pink light rapidly enlarged, and the murderous intent in the cat's pupils almost turned into reality!

Li Xuan, who also noticed this scene, did not speak, but waited quietly.

He was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to fight back!
Just before Boss Cat approached the Abandoned Monkey, Li Xuan gave the order: "One more time."

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

In Sakaki's sight, the Abandoned Monkey suddenly clapped his hands strangely, and the collision of his palms made a hollow echo.

The cat boss's body suddenly froze, and the goblin energy dissipated uncontrollably, and then instinctively condensed into the most familiar dark purple light!
Ghost-type Shadow Claw!
The battle situation changed rapidly, and at that moment of pause, the Abandoned Monkey seized the opportunity and successfully avoided it!

Swish!
The shadow claws swung out by Boss Cat swung uncontrollably towards the ground, and the shock wave of the ghost energy explosion blew Boss Cat himself away!
Li Xuan pressed on with his victory: "Absorbing Fist!"

The tip of the Abandoned Monkey's fist suddenly lit up with an emerald green light, and it strode out violently, causing the ground to crack with every step it took.

At the moment when Cat Boss was off balance, a heavy punch filled with fighting energy hit the opponent's soft abdomen!

"Meow-!"

The cat boss arched his body, and visible green energy was forcibly extracted from his body and poured into the arms of the Abandoned Monkey.

Those wounds so deep that the bones could be seen began to heal at an astonishing speed, but the ruby ​​of the cat boss gradually dimmed...

"Meow..." (Damn it...)
The cat boss struggled to get up, but the tips of his claws uncontrollably emitted a faint purple light again!
It’s still this damn Shadow Claw!
Compared to the beginning, this claw swing was obviously much slower, and even the trajectory became easier to predict.

The Abandoned Monkey dodged sideways with a grim smile, and the green light on his fist appeared again!

boom!
The second absorbing punch hit the cat boss's back hard.

As another wave of life energy was forcibly extracted, the cat boss's gorgeous fur almost lost its luster, while the abandoned monkey's hunched back was almost straight!

"Still not down?" Li Xuan frowned, unable to believe that the champion-level Cat Boss could last so many rounds.

Sure enough, the gap in strength between the two sides is still quite large.

He tried his best, but Sakaki just looked at him calmly and indifferently.

"I have to admit, Gym Leader Li Xuan, you have extensive practical experience. Among all the trainers I've met, you're the third one I've spoken highly of."

Sakaki applauded, which was a recognition of talent.

There aren't many trainers he can recognize.

Apart from Li Xuan, only two trainers who have challenged the Evergreen Gym have received his recognition.

The fact that Sakaki gave such an evaluation shows that he already regards Li Xuan as a trainer of the same level.

"You are the first trainer I've ever met who makes me feel so difficult."

Li Xuan had a business meeting.

But it's also true.

Among all the trainers he had fought against, only Sakaki's strength reached the championship level.

Although it is obvious that Sakaki did not train this cat boss seriously, it is still a goalkeeper level cat after all.

"Meow!" (Never mind, Shadow Claw is Shadow Claw!)

The cat boss twisted suddenly in mid-air, and his shadow claws tore into the metal wall fiercely.

The dark purple claws cut like a hot knife through butter, leaving three translucent cracks on the special alloy!
With the help of the recoil, the cat boss flipped over and landed gracefully.

But its slightly trembling hind legs still exposed the fact that it was somewhat exhausted.

"continue."

Seeing that the cat boss was already immersed in the Shadow Claw, Sakaki chose a fighting style that suited the other party's wishes.

Rather than tying yourself up in knots, it is better to mobilize all available resources.

"Meow!"

The figure of the cat boss blurred in an instant, and his claws were wrapped with rich ghost energy, drawing three strange purple-black tracks in the air.

The corners of its mouth curved into an arc, and it charged forward so fast that even its afterimage was almost impossible to capture!

As expected, speed is what Boss Cat is good at.

When Sakaki was training the other party, he naturally leaned towards this place.

Li Xuan remained unmoved, like a bystander, and did not give any instructions.

It was this appearance that made Sakaki quite curious.

"Just let me see..."

"What else can you do?"

Sakaki noticed that Li Xuan didn't even change his standing posture, and the flames of Flammel's feet were even swaying leisurely.

This abnormal calmness made the air more dangerous.

Like the calm before the storm, even the wind brought about by the Boss Cat's sprint suddenly stagnated for a moment.

Seeing the Cat Boss getting closer, Li Xuan smiled and said, "Double return!"
