Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

Under the influence of moves that indiscriminately target both allies and the terrain, the rocky terrain groaned under the strain.

Of course, Milotic and Dusknoir, the primary targets of these two attacks, will suffer even more direct and intense damage.

After their devastating attack ended, the two Pokémon finally revealed themselves to the crowd.

Night Demon floated steadily toward Milotic as if nothing had happened, while Milotic, its opponent, had to lower its proud head and gasp for breath.

It is clear at a glance which one is stronger and which one is weaker.

…………

"As expected of Bai Mu's trump card! Night Demon's strength is terrifying. Surfing with the rain and Butterfly Dance buffs couldn't do much damage to Night Demon. In comparison, Milotic is already in a precarious situation!"

"With this level of attack power and durability, this Night Demon is probably close to the strength of an elite-level three-star monster. Several rocks shot out at high speed from in front of Night Demon, blocking Milotic's surroundings. The purpose was not to damage it, but simply to slow down Milotic and leave it with no way to retreat."

"Nightmare's right fist was already crackling with electricity; he made no attempt to hide his intention to unleash a lightning fist. Nightmare was boldly declaring that nothing could stop its advance, and no matter how Milotic resisted, it would be in vain!"

"If Milotic were to actually be hit by that lightning punch, it would be in deep trouble. Water Cannon! Milotic tried to use this extremely powerful attack to force back Dusknoir from getting closer, and it had some effect, but not a significant one. Dusknoir, which floated up to dodge, didn't even take the full damage from the Water Cannon and was still closing in on Milotic!"

"Thunder Punch is coming! At the critical moment, Xia Chen recalled Milotic, and Dusknoir's Thunder Punch missed. However, it stopped in place unhurriedly, as if waiting for Xia Chen to switch to the next Pokémon."

"So, which Pokémon will Xia Chen choose to deal with this powerful, almost invincible Night Demon?"

On the battlefield, Xia Chen frowned, but a faint smile appeared on his lips that no one could detect.

His hand holding the Poké Ball trembled slightly, not from fear of Dusknoir's power, but from excitement for the moment that was about to arrive.

The stage is set for you, Zoroark, unleash your most stunning performance!

Xia Chen said this to himself, then threw the Poké Ball in his hand.

A flash of white light appeared, and not far in front of the Night Demon, "Sylveon" suddenly appeared!

"Xenbu, meditate!"

Xia Chen's first command after Xianbu's appearance stunned all the audience, especially Bai Mu on the other side of the battlefield.

Having witnessed the power of the Night Demon's attacks, how dare you make Fairy Cloth do something with almost zero return?

What is Xia Chen thinking? Has he gone mad?

Immediately, the barrage of comments erupted in an uproar.

…………

"Did Xia Chen get stunned by Dusknoir? What's the use of Meditation? A boost to Special Defense is useless against Dusknoir. Just add some Special Attack and you're good to go! Milotic couldn't do much damage with Rain and Quiver Dance, but you, Sylveon, can?"

"Don't be so hasty. Master Pigeon has watched so many competitions. When have you ever seen him make such a basic mistake? He's definitely setting a trap for Bai Mu."

"Fun fact: Master Pigeon's fourth Pokémon is Zorua, which hasn't appeared in videos for a long time. Its ability is Illusion! Is it possible that this isn't Sylveon?"

"So what if it's Zoroark? Does Zoroark think it can defeat Night Demon? Based on its noble Dark attribute?"

The comments section was buzzing, but no one could guess Xia Chen's intentions, except for two pretty ladies in front of the screen who were smiling knowingly.

On the battlefield.

Like many other viewers, Bai Mu's first thought was to suspect Zoroark.

Then, his logic was no different from all the other comments: even if it's Zoroark, so what?

As he pondered, a sudden realization dawned on him: wasn't this a classic empty city stratagem?

Xia Chen, that cunning fellow, must have deliberately made such a low-level mistake to lure me into thinking about "why he would do such a thing".

Then, if he can't figure out the answer no matter what, he will miss the opportunity to attack, while he can let Xianbu get a meditation for free.

Thinking of this, Bai Mu immediately shouted, "Night Demon Spirit, use Shadow Fist!"

Earthquake is too slow, and other moves don't have STAB boosts and aren't very powerful. So, Shadow Fist, which combines speed and damage, seems to be the most suitable.

Glancing at "Sylveon," Bai Mu suddenly realized that she was still meditating and had no intention of dodging Shadow Punch.

Still playing tricks?

Bai Mu sneered slightly. In his current view, Xianbu was no different from Zhuge Liang, who was forcibly calmly playing the zither on the city wall.

Whether you're Sylvanas or Zoroark, take this Shadow Punch first!

A dark purple-black energy, imbued with a sinister aura, flowed through the Night Demon Spirit's fist, which was nearly the size of a fairy's head. With intent, it unleashed a powerful punch!

The powerful fist whipped up gusts of wind and, accompanied by a slight sonic boom from the friction of energy against the air, blasted towards the various parts of the fairy cloth!

Xianbu neither dodged nor avoided, and continued meditating.

No, judging by the timeline, this is already the second meditation!

In everyone's eyes, Xia Chen and Xian Bu have become incredibly greedy!

No matter how much you meditate, if you don't add any physical defense, won't you just get blown up by the Night Demon in a few punches?

The first punch has already landed!

…………

Amidst the tense, curious, and excited gazes of the audience, Dusknoir's Shadow Punch struck Sylveon with unstoppable force.

However, the scenario that I had imagined—Senbu being blasted several meters away by a single punch—did not occur.

call--

A very faint sound, like the sound of wind, was transmitted through Rotom, the cameraman hovering near the two elves, to the ears of all the viewers in front of the screen.

The scene, and even the entire live stream, fell silent for a moment, and even the comments section became much quieter.

What's going on?

This question arose in everyone's mind.

When an elf is hit, it will feel pain.

This is an eternal and irrefutable truth, so why does it fail here?

While bystanders may not be clear-headed, those directly involved often have a vague sense of understanding.

The Night Demon could clearly sense that the moment its Shadow Punch hit Sylveon, the dense Ghost-type aura on its fist vanished instantly, as if it had disappeared into thin air.

It's like hitting a Normal-type Pokémon.

This absurd and utterly ridiculous idea did indeed appear in the mind of the Night Demon.

but

Neither Sylveon nor Zoroark are immune to Ghost-type Pokémon!

Could this fairy cloth's special characteristic be its ability to transform its appearance?

This is even more absurd.

The Night Demon was momentarily at a loss for what to do about this unexpected situation. It instinctively turned to look at its trainer, its once terrifying single vertical pupil now filled with confusion.

And what responds to it is not much smarter, but rather a bewildered look like that of an ignorant young girl.

But on the battlefield, every second is extremely precious.

Since Bai Mu and the Night Demon Spirit did not respond, "Sylveon" naturally continued to confidently complete her second "meditation".

It wasn't until the second "meditation" ended, and Xia Chen shamelessly continued to shout "Continue, meditate!", that Bai Mu suddenly snapped out of her daze.

Regardless of the situation, let's just use some area-of-effect attacks first.

…………

"Night Demon, earthquake!"

Pokémon immune to Ghost-type moves must be Normal or Fighting-type; Ground-type moves are only immune to Flying-type moves.

I refuse to believe that your "Sylveon" is immune to Ground-type moves!

Bai Mu was filled with resentment.

Zoroark is naturally not immune to earthquakes, so Xia Chen regretfully gave up on the third enhancement and instead commanded, "Sylvanas, use Spirit Sneak Attack!"

Bai Mu is stunned. So, the Spirit Ambush has arrived?

You need to be reasonable!

How can a Normal-type Pokémon use Phantom Strike, a move that only a few Ghost-type Pokémon can learn?

However, many things in reality are just unreasonable, like now.

Seeing that Xianbu actually tore open a dimensional rift in the space beside him and slipped inside to avoid the earthquake, Bai Mu was devastated.

Could you be any more outrageous?!

My Night Demon can't even use stealth attacks, so why can you?

His mind is completely in a mess right now.

The fact that it is immune to Ghost-type moves means that "Sylveon" must be a Normal-type Pokémon, and the fact that it used Phantom Strikes means that it is very likely a Ghost-type Pokémon.

In conclusion, is this a Pokémon with both Normal and Ghost attributes?

The logic is flawless.

But where can you find such a spirit?

Not only Bai Mu, who was in the middle of the battle, but also the audience at the scene and the viewers in the live broadcast room were all exclaiming "Holy crap!"

You're tired of those little tricks like water spraying, butterfly dancing, and freeze drying, aren't you?

Now they're going to pull off something as amazing as Eevee's new Fairy-type evolution?

At this moment, the audience was no longer interested in who would make it to the finals; they only had one thing on their minds.

What kind of Pokémon is this one dressed as Sylveon?

…………

In the studio, the commentators were still dutifully explaining the match.

"Sylveon used a stealth attack to dodge the earthquake, and then it tore open a hole in the space next to Dusknoir and emerged! A sneak attack! Holy crap! What kind of damage is that! Dusknoir collapsed instantly?"

Seeing the Night Demon fall to the ground in shock on the screen, its eyes filled with confusion and disbelief, the commentator immediately swore.

But at this moment, no one cares about these small details anymore.

A collective gasp, like the sound of a cold wind, erupted from the audience.
