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

"Dare!!"

After receiving the order, the Mighty Crocodile instantly activated its massive body.

A stream of black, mist-like malevolent energy gathered in his mouth, covering his incredibly sharp fangs.

His crimson eyes stared fiercely at Patrick Star, who remained motionless opposite him, like a giant crocodile poised to pounce on its prey in a river.

However, at that moment, a barely perceptible red light, noticed only by Yu Bo and the other two who were paying close attention, flickered in the gem on Patrick Star's chest.

Almost at the same time, the crocodile, which was about to run, suddenly felt a lightness in its mouth.

The malevolent energy that was originally scattered throughout the teeth vanished without a trace, like water mist dissipating after the morning sun.

"Hey?"

(Where are my teeth?)

The crocodile, who had never experienced anything like this before, was stunned, and its steps subconsciously faltered, stopping in place.

Meng Jiaojiao, who was behind, was also taken aback.

Previously, when she saw Yu Xin fail to use Milotic moves, she thought it was because the other party came from a famous family like the Yu family, so she was spoiled and indulged in a life of luxury and lacked ambition, which led to her poor proficiency in the moves.

She was even secretly excited about this, thinking that she might be able to defeat Yu Xin in the future and bring fame to the Meng family!

But now it seems I was overthinking things.

It's not that Yu Xin lacks ambition, but rather that there's something strange about this starfish!

"Mighty Crocodile, charge at him and bite him!"

Perhaps learning from Yu Xin's experience, Meng Jiaojiao reacted quickly. Seeing that her moves were useless, she decisively let the crocodile rely on its strength and physique to fight back.

Once you enter close combat, you can still fight even without any special moves.

Unfortunately, Patrick Star didn't grant her wish.

Almost the instant Meng Jiaojiao gave the order again, the powerful crocodile prepared to raise its foot again.

Then......

Pfft! !

Amidst the bewildered gazes of all the spectators, the crocodile tripped over its own feet and fell flat on its face!

"???"

Meng Jiaojiao was dumbfounded.

Wait, what's going on?

Trouble with yourself?

Equally stunned were Yu Bo and his two companions, who had been closely observing the match.

Even if the Meng family has declined, they still have a near-Champion level trainer in charge. As the eldest daughter, Meng Jiaojiao couldn't possibly have been without the family's training.

Moreover, that Mighty Crocodile was clearly well-developed, and in the previous fight it was extremely ferocious, leaving its opponent with no chance to fight back.

But this powerful crocodile actually fell to the ground in a comical manner.

Simply...

Unbelievable!

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

Meanwhile, within the waveguide communication channel between Mu Yun and Patrick Star.

Patrick: "Big Brother, the experiment was a success. When the sealed energy pathway is suddenly partially opened, there will be a brief period of limb loss of control, somewhat similar to a simplified version of a chaotic state, but more controllable and difficult to prevent."

Suddenly, Patrick added, "Unless you have the same level of energy control as Brother Dugu and the others, most Pokémon simply can't react to this sudden loss of energy control."

What kind of energy control does Xiao Du have?

That's fine.

Those energy manipulation techniques, honed through countless attempts and breakthroughs, are something most Pokémon could never achieve.

It seems that Patrick's new trick is quite impressive.

However, on the other hand, this super brain characteristic is really amazing.

It's astonishing that a mere derivative brainwave possesses so many abilities.

First came memory reading, then energy interruption, and now, through subtle manipulation of energy interruption, it can even achieve the effect of limb confusion.

If Mu Yun hadn't intervened, Patrick Star wouldn't have needed to use any special moves; he could have simply caused his opponent's energy to surge, potentially ending the match.

It can be said that unless he encounters an opponent like Little Du, who has an extremely deep control over the energy in his body, Patrick Star's abilities would truly allow him to "kill without leaving a trace."

"Tap!!"

(I******!!!)

Just as Mu Yun and Patrick were having an encrypted call, the crocodile, who had tripped over himself, stood up with a red face and grumbling.

Although he didn't know what had happened, he was on the battlefield, so any problems must have been caused by the other side.

"Tap!!"

(Do you dare to fight me head-on, you bastard!!!)

This time, without Meng Jiaojiao's command, the enraged crocodile pounced on Patrick Star.

However, when faced with the ferocious and enraged Crocodile, Patrick remained as calm as an old man sitting on a fishing platform, as if watching a helpless and furious dog.

Although he has neither face nor eyes.

Buzz!

Powerful superpowers surged forth from the gem in Patrick's chest like a tidal wave.

In an instant, it completely enveloped the attacking crocodile.

In an instant, the crocodile seemed to fall into the deep sea, and the surrounding air seemed to solidify.

This is the result of being squeezed by excessively powerful superpowers.

"Haa~~"

(First of all, you may have misunderstood something...)

In front of so many people, Patrick Star naturally wouldn't speak human language, but instead pretended to speak in Elvish.

"Haa~~"

(Actually, you never had the slightest ability to fight me head-on.)

As soon as he finished speaking, his immense superpowers gradually solidified, transforming into invisible steel needles that surrounded the crocodile.

With focused mind, thread the needle!

Improving a move is an extremely difficult and time-consuming combat skill.

Even Xiao Du and his group can only make minor adjustments by relying on their superb energy manipulation skills when they have an extremely high level of proficiency in their moves.

But for Patrick, modifying moves is as simple as breathing.

He can even invade an opponent's body and precisely manipulate their energy, let alone simply modify a move.

"Haa~~"

(Finally, when facing someone stronger, I hope you can keep your mouth shut.)

As soon as he finished speaking, countless mental steel needles were activated simultaneously, piercing through the head of the Mighty Crocodile from countless angles.

"Dare!!"

With the improved version, the mental energy consumed less and the lethality remained the same, but the pain was stronger. When the mental energy entered the head of the powerful crocodile, a shrill scream immediately echoed throughout the entire battlefield.

The sound even silenced the murmurs of those present.

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

[Ding! Gem Starfish (39) defeated Mighty Crocodile (33). Permanent Mission 1: Battle Completed. The opponent's level is equal to yours. Congratulations, host! You have gained 33 points. Gem Starfish's growth level has been slightly increased!]

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

[Ding! Target detected for Long-Term Task 3 - The Baby Cup objective. You have received an extra 33 points and a small additional level boost!]

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

Bang~~

After Crocodile's eyes turned into mosquito coils, Patrick withdrew his telekinesis and gently laid Crocodile's limp body on the ground.

Perhaps still feeling the pain, even though the crocodile was unconscious, its body would occasionally twitch as if it had been electrocuted.

"Haa~~"

As if to remind him, Patrick even kindly called out to the referee who was standing there in a daze.

Upon hearing this, the referee loudly announced:

"The...Mighty Crocodile is unable to fight; the winner is Starfish!"

"What effect?"

Mu Yun glanced at the crocodile, which was still convulsing after falling to the ground, and then at the gem starfish, which seemed to be unharmed.

"It was a simple stimulation to his brain. He'll be fine after a few days of being in a coma. It'll teach him a lesson."

As a civilized person, Patrick Star despises those crude and uncouth men who lack ability but swear and spew profanities.

It's always the family that's best. Although they're a bit silly and reckless, they're all very well-mannered. No wonder they're soldiers trained by the big boss. They have such good role models, their quality is just so high!

Gemstarfish silently flattered its big brother in its mind.

Although it wasn't said aloud, Mu Yun could naturally sense it through the waveguide connection.

Mu Yun smiled helplessly to himself.

He's definitely smart; afraid of getting into trouble and being scolded, he knows to flatter first.

Of course, this is not really a problem.

There were no obvious injuries or death; he was just unconscious for a few more days, nothing serious.

It's just a pity for that little girl; tears are welling up in her eyes right now.

Patrick, you're a true Sigma man!

That was ruthless!

No, it seems that the starfish species are asexual and reproduce through self-reproduction, but Patrick Star often presents himself as male, so he almost forgot.

Indeed, people who aren't burdened by their own thoughts and only use their brains to think are different.
