Elf Trader: My trump card is the Light/Dark Mantis.

"Little Blue, you're underestimating Incaros and Sing a Song of Sagros by saying that."

"If we don't fight, we don't know who will win or lose."

"what?"

Xiao Lan looked completely bewildered.

"Can you win?"

If Xiao Jiang hadn't said it, she would have thought the person who spoke was courting death.

The opponent is a champion-level Pokémon!

Incaros and Sagros are only at the Gym level!

Could they possibly defeat their opponent despite being two realms above their own?

Bullshit!

However, Xiao Lan looked at Jiang Gu's confident expression but didn't say anything...

She was willing to believe him.

Jiang Gu released Sagros from the capsule.

The dark mantis paused slightly upon its appearance.

"Saro!"

"Saro!"

Sagros chirped softly, seemingly in a good mood.

The surrounding shadow energy was quite strong, making it feel like a fish in water!

However, Jonas was watching Jiang Gu intently.

Sagros's expression changed instantly.

How dare you touch my trainer?

It has entered combat mode.

The forces of fear and order swirled around it, poised to strike!

Meanwhile, Incaros silently stood in front of Jiang Gu, shielding him from the radiant power of light.

The two praying mantises looked tense.

However, for a very special elf like Yunas, it has almost no feelings or anything like that.

If you see an enemy, annihilate them!

Yunas slowly accumulated power, and the surrounding dark cores all emitted terrifying fluctuations.

The next second, the charge is complete!

The Dark King, each of the Dark Cores around him emitted light!

This is a black ray!

It should have been just an ordinary move with not much power...

But each of Jonas's Dark Cores can be released once!

It had a very strong effect instantly!

Yunas then created a destructive light array in the elf pod, resembling a fine network!

Fortunately, Jiang Gu reacted in time.

"Incaros, guard the formation!"

In an instant, this mantis of light gathered its power and formed an energy field to block!

Deflect the black rays one by one!

Fortunately, the attack wasn't very powerful; otherwise, it would have been quite difficult for Incaros to protect Jiang Gu, Xiao Lan, and Sagros on his own.

Jiang Gu also frowned.

He realized the seriousness of the situation!

The question now is not whether Incaros and Sagros can defeat this Shadow Lord...

However, if Jonas continues to use wide-range attacks, he and Little Blue will become a burden to the two mantises!

After all, the terrain of the Elf Pod is relatively narrow compared to the environment Jiang Gu used when dealing with other overlords.

Both trainers could easily be injured by the aftershocks of the Pokémon's moves!

"We must act swiftly."

Jiang Gu quickly came up with an idea.

He temporarily redeemed a shield device from the system, spending 2000 points.

Although this item is disposable, it can continuously withstand attacks from Pokémon-level Pokémon.

Jiang Gu felt a pang of regret at this moment.

But in an environment like the Elf pod, this money has to be spent.

Then he shouted loudly.

Chapter 101: Money shouldn't be wasted!

Jiang Gu shouted loudly.

"Incaros, Crusader of Evil!"

"Zagros, Phantom Demon Kongya Chong!"

The first thing they did was unleash the two mantises' strongest attacks!

The powerful aura of punishment and the frenzied madness emanating from Incaros gathered on its two scythes.

Then it let out a high-pitched cry.

"Carlo!"

The two energies merged! Then, a cross-shaped slash was unleashed!

The cross-shaped blade, radiating intense light, shot towards Yunas!

Then Sagros used his move, Phantom Fang Strike, which was a counterattack but arrived first!

The Dark Mantis transformed into several afterimages and charged towards the shadowy King before it!

Then, a series of shadows struck a seemingly empty area in front of Yunas, creating waves of sound!

That's right, Sagros's attack was blocked!

It's the effect of the protective shield that's attached to Jonas!

This isn't a special move, but rather this Pokémon's passive ability.

Even though Jonas is in a weakened state, he still possesses a barrier in the game.

However, compared to the fact that specific moves like the piercing water gun are needed to break through the shield...

In reality, a natural move can be broken if it is powerful enough!

Sagros's ultimate attack did not cause any damage!

But it also caused cracks to appear in the barrier!

Then came Incaros's finishing blow!

The Crusade Against Evil!

The dazzling light and the barrier met for only a few seconds before canceling each other out!

Bang!

And the moment Incaros's technique ran out of power!

The eerie, invisible barrier surrounding Jonas has shattered!

It transformed into pure shadow energy and surged back into the spirit's body.

Step one is complete!

Upon seeing this, Jiang Gu was secretly pleased.

If you want to use the Instant Kill ability to wear down this Pokémon, it's crucial to break the barrier; otherwise, you won't be able to attack its main body, and the ability won't trigger.

Meanwhile, Xiao Lan watched the two praying mantises leaping and bounding, battling the powerful dark-type king, and her expression turned somewhat uneasy. "Xiao Jiang, am I holding them back?" she asked anxiously.

"It seems like I can't help you much by following you."

Xiao Lan has always had a good attitude, but now she feels that exploring the universe with Xiao Jiang only makes her companion have to be distracted by protecting her!

How could she possibly accept this!

Jiang Gu was also helpless, and could only gently pat Xiao Lan's shoulder. "Even I would have a hard time dealing with an enemy of this level..."
