Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

In the arena, Xiao Tie, who was being looked at with curiosity, doubt, and expectation by everyone, looked puzzled.

"How many?"

(Is this a bath for me?)

Xiao Tie looked at the Spider King in the distance with a puzzled expression.

The power felt to him like morning dew dripping onto his body; apart from being a little cool and wet, he felt no pain at all.

It feels like two layers of iron walls could block it...

How about we remove one floor?

No, how could I think that way!

This is definitely the opponent feigning weakness in an attempt to lull him into a false sense of security!

Thinking of this, Xiao Tie's puzzled look instantly turned serious.

"So many!!"

(What a cunning fellow! I won't fall for your tricks!)

"Lulu??"

The spider in the distance looked on with a puzzled expression.

What kind of scam have you fallen for?

He was initially quite pleased with his successful strike, but seeing his opponent unharmed annoyed him. Now, being slandered like this, he felt even more uncomfortable.

"Spider-Drip, unleash Bubble Beam again!"

"chatter!!"

Perhaps seeing that the bubble light had no effect, this time the Spider King put in all its effort, and even the bubbles on its head swelled up a lot larger than before.

A series of bubbles, even faster and more rapid than before, shot towards Xiao Tie with a whooshing sound.

..............................

[Ding! CocoDora (Iron Head) has used Iron Wall in actual combat, increasing her proficiency by 2!]

[Ding! Iron Wall successfully blocked the opponent's attack. Skill proficiency +2!] *11

..............................

Mu Yun listened to the system notifications ringing in his mind, and then looked at Xiao Tie, who was unharmed and feared that his opponent was using a trick.

"Should I wait a while, or make my move now?" Mu Yun wondered to himself.

After thinking it over, Mu Yun gave up the idea of ​​continuing to grind for skill proficiency.

The main purpose today is to level up their growth level. We can level up their proficiency in the same way, so there's no need to waste time here.

With this in mind, Mu Yun immediately shouted, "Little Tie, pounce!"

"So many!!"

Upon hearing Mu Yun's command, Xiao Tie immediately moved his limbs with all his might. At the same time, a bright light appeared on his body, making his silver armor even more dazzling.

The next second, to everyone's disbelief, Xiao Tie rushed forward at a considerable speed, braving the bubble beams of the Dripping Spider.

"Oh no, Spider King, get out of the way!"

Seeing Little Iron charging towards them, Spider-Man's trainer immediately shouted.

Because he hadn't expected the opponent to charge at him despite his Pokémon's attack, his tone was somewhat flustered.

"chatter!!"

Spider King reacted quickly, immediately stopping its bubble beam attack and preparing to leap away to avoid the attack.

With its long legs and agility, the Spider King, with enough distance to react, narrowly avoided Little Iron's attack.

However, before he could catch his breath, the trainer's voice rang out again.

Watch out behind you!!

"chatter?"

Spider-Drip looked behind him almost subconsciously.

Just then, Xiao Tie, who had missed his attack earlier, appeared behind him again and pounced on him once more.

Without enough distance to react, the Spider King couldn't dodge Little Iron's pounce and was knocked right into its arms.

boom! ! !

The powerful attack sent the Spider King flying like a stone launched from a slingshot.

The speed was so fast that the onlookers were caught off guard.

This is exactly the technique that Mu Yun made Xiao Tie practice hard—continuous pouncing!

Xiao Tie was slow and most of his moves were close-range, so Mu Yun had him practice using pounce attacks continuously while forging his Iron Wall.

Thanks to his high level of proficiency in the moves, coupled with his excellent physical condition, he is fully capable of launching several attacks in a short period of time.

With the added speed boost from the pounce attack, Xiao Tie was able to achieve what he just did.

However, even so, Xiao Tie is still not suitable for one-on-one battles.

Unless he evolves into the Aggron stage and learns more wide-range ranged moves like Metal Sound and Sandstorm to assist him.

Otherwise, it would be quite time-consuming to win a match quickly in a one-on-one situation.

But it doesn't matter, since Mu Yun didn't expect him to be like Xiao Du and the others in one-on-one situations. His role is defensive, and his focus is on defense rather than offense.

As for the competition?

With Xiao Tie's defense, even if the opponent were exhausted, it would be difficult to inflict effective damage.

If you were to learn to sleep, talk in your sleep, and snore, you could probably break your opponent's defenses.

..............................

[Ding! CocoDora (23) defeated Drizzle (27). Permanent Mission 1: Battle Completed. The opponent's level is equal to yours. Congratulations, host! You have gained 27 points. CocoDora's growth level has been slightly increased!]

..............................

[Ding! CocoDora's growth level has increased after continuous efforts. Current level: Level 24!]

..............................

"Spider King is incapacitated; Cocodora is the victor!"

On the other side, the referee immediately announced this after confirming that Drizzle had lost its ability to fight.

Without a doubt, with its 185 base Defense stat, four Iron Defense moves, the power of Fighting-type moves, and Absolute Defense ability, even Araquos, which has double the resistance to Fighting-type moves, couldn't withstand Iron's pounce.

He lost his fighting ability in just one encounter.

"Such a fast pounce! Is that really Coco Doraemon?"

"It's not just fast; it used two pounces in quick succession, and the power was immense—even the Dripping Spider King couldn't withstand it!"

"What's so amazing about that? Is it more impressive than an Ice-type Pokémon extinguishing a fire? Or more impressive than sending a Umbreon flying with a single punch?"

"Hiss~~, that makes sense. After all, it's Master Mu's spirit, so it's normal for it to be a bit stronger."

"Indeed, geniuses should be this amazing!"

As they talked, the audience seemed to have convinced themselves.

After that, Mu Yun used Xiao Tie to fight more than a dozen matches.

It's still the same Iron Wall + Pounce: first, defend to block the attack, and then, amidst the opponent's despairing gaze, charge forward unscathed, enduring the attack head-on.

Even if some elves are agile and manage to dodge Little Iron's attacks several times, they still find it difficult to escape his tireless, continuous attacks.

If you graz it, it will cause severe injury such as paralysis of the limbs; if you fall headfirst, you will collapse immediately.

There was simply no room for resistance.

It's fair to say that the next dozen or so people had an even harder time than those who had fought against Tire Cat before.

At least the latter has to dodge attacks when its own Pokémon attacks, unlike this Akodor, which doesn't dodge or retreat at all and just charges straight at the attackers.

The key point is that the moves hit the opponent without causing any damage.

They could only dodge awkwardly, and then, in a moment of carelessness, were blasted away.

That was utter despair!

..............................

[Ding! CocoDora (24) defeated.........]

..............................

[Ding! CocoDora's growth level has increased after continuous efforts. Current level: Level 25!]

..............................

After another ten or so battles, Xiao Tie's level, just like Xiao Xin's just now, rose to level 25.

At this point, all twenty-five people have been defeated.

"It's a pity there aren't enough people, otherwise we could have let Dadan take the stage."

After taking Xiao Tie back, Mu Yun felt rather regretful.

It seems we'll have to wait until tomorrow to discuss this further.
