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

Chapter 364: Aju, with a smile on her face, does she have a backup plan?

Chemical Change Gas: When a Pokémon with this ability is on the field, the ability effects of all Pokémon on the field will disappear or become ineffective.

Of course, some characteristics cannot be eliminated.

For example, the centaur of the Rape Crown.

However, Li Xuan's Alakazam's characteristic is "Sharp", which is obviously within the effective range of "Chemical Change Gas".

Having just appeared on the stage, Alakazam subconsciously swung his elbow blade and found that the feeling was a little wrong.

To round it off, both sides are actually in a "no characteristics" state.

The power of some of Alakazam's moves has been reduced, and overall, it's at a slight disadvantage.

"Aledo, watch out for Gaspa's moves."

Li Xuan thought of the tactics that Aju was good at and immediately said, "Mysterious Guardian!"

"Toxic!"

Aju and Li Xuan's commands came at the same time.

When Li Xuan heard the moves that Aju called out, he understood.

As expected, how could a poison-type gym leader not use poison?
Fortunately, I asked Little Riolu to teach Elaldo the "Mysterious Guardian" move, otherwise he would have to experience Aju's "Poison Substitute Guard" tactics today.

"Elu."

Aledo crossed his arms and a white light enveloped his entire body.

The double-bomb gas released a highly toxic gas, and the venom suddenly burst out with bubbles gurgling.

then!

Pfft!

The deadly poison fell on Aledo, who was surrounded by white light.

No shit.

[Mysterious Guardian: You will be protected by a magical power for a certain period of time, so you will not fall into an abnormal state.]

This is a move specifically used to deal with people like Aju, who often build tactics around abnormal states.

In the short term, Aledo can deal with it safely to avoid being caught by the poisonous attack of Gaspard.

"Tsk."

Ah Ju couldn't help but be shocked.

I didn't expect Li Xuan's reaction to be so quick.

It immediately came to my mind...

No, it seems like they just shouted out their moves together?

Aju recalled what had just happened, and then his pupils shrank slightly.

Was he prejudged?!

Otherwise, Li Xuan shouldn't have shouted "Mysterious Guardian" at the beginning.

His "poison substitute defense" tactic was rarely used in public battles. Apart from prediction, Aju found it hard to think of why Li Xuan would use this tactic.

They are all Elite-level trainers, so this kind of "trying their luck" situation is almost rare.

So, there is no answer except prediction!
Thinking of this, Aju looked at Li Xuan with more respect.

As expected of a genius trainer who reached the Elite level in a short period of time, he truly has his own strengths.

"Double Bomb Gas, since the poison doesn't work, let's use the sludge wave."

Aju also likes to use large-scale moves.

When facing Li Xuan's various Pokémon that are known for their speed, large-scale moves can solve many problems.

"Double bomb~"

The dark purple skin of Double Bomb Gas became even darker, and muddy streams gushed out of his body, surging in all directions, making the already uneven battlefield even more bumpy.

"Aledo, use Psychic Blade."

Li Xuan has no intention of close combat for the time being.

Alakazam swung his elbow blade, and two cross-shaped spiritual blades split the poisonous current, but were swallowed by the following waves.

"With the sharpness feature gone, the power of the moves also decreased..."

Seeing this scene, Li Xuan also felt a little regretful.

Gallade usually reigns supreme thanks to its "Sharpness" ability. Now that "Sharpness" is banned, Gallade is having a tough time.

This also resulted in the cutting moves that he was used to being unable to perform at his usual strength, and he felt a sudden sense of disappointment.

I can accept my mediocrity, provided that I have never seen the shining stars.

This sentence is very suitable for Alakazam on the field.

It went from being a "useless guy" who couldn't use his "superpowers" in the beginning to being a skilled "swordsman" now.

A large part of it is due to the "sharp" characteristics after evolution.

"Is this a state of confusion?"

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that the characteristics of the double-bomb gas could also have the effect of "attacking the heart".

Although Aji did it unintentionally, Aledo's mentality still changed a little.

"Aledo, you are already very strong now. It's just that the sharpness characteristic can't take effect for the time being. It's not a big problem."

Li Xuan used the power of waves to convey words and soothe Aledo's emotions.

The current battle continues.

The Spirit Blade was able to withstand the first few waves of poisonous waves, but as the double-bomb gas continued to spew out, the scale of the sludge wave became as terrifying as a tsunami.

The viscous venom surged and piled up to a height of three meters, turning half the area into a purplish-black swamp of death.

Aledo stood in the gradually shrinking safe zone, and the light of his arm blade seemed so dim under the raging poisonous waves.

It unconsciously took a half step back.

Of course, this is not fear, but an instinctive assessment of the huge disparity in power.

If it was your own trainer, how would you handle it?
What Aledo was thinking about was what Li Xuan would do.

Can I do well if I lose my “sharp” characteristics?

"I told you to trust yourself. It's just a sludge wave. What's there to be afraid of? It won't poison you."

Li Xuan held the idea of ​​not caring. It was a Pokémon battle, and a high-level battle at that. How could there be an uninjured state?

The higher the strength, the harder the fight.

This is exactly the feeling Li Xuan wants.

"Besides cutting moves, we have many more we can use, so we don't lack this one."

After Li Xuan had finished counseling Aledo, he slowly commanded: "Frozen Fist."

"Elu!"

Alakazam changed its usual practice and did not use elbow blades to attack, but instead condensed ice energy.

The cold air is rampant and waves of mud are surging.

Seeing this, Alakazam raised his fist and rushed forward!
Bang!

The moment the heavy fist shrouded in cold air hit the mud wave, the venom condensed into ice at an extremely fast speed.

The frozen tracks bloomed like ice flowers, and in the blink of an eye, the entire poisonous swamp turned into a glacier!

Without stopping at all, Alakazam tapped the ground with his toes and flew to the top of the ice peak like a sparrow.

Below, the twin bombs of gas continued to spew venom, and waves of sludge continued to impact the base of the glacier.

"Teleport and connect with the spiritual blade."

Suddenly.

Aledo's silhouette blurred for a moment.

When it solidified again, it appeared in the blind spot behind the double-bomb gas!
The super-energy light on its elbow blade intertwined with the frost that had not yet dissipated, transforming into a crescent-shaped slash that broke through the air!

Swish!
This spiritual blade accurately hit the back of Double-Bomb Gas, causing an effective blow.

Shuangbomb Gas was shaking and his body was swaying a lot.

Obviously, the previous move dealt a heavy blow.

Even without the "sharp" feature, the damage caused is considerable.

just.

Although it was Shuangdan Gas who was injured, the corners of Ah Ju's mouth inadvertently curled up...
