Elf-like Life

The little dragon, realizing all this, suddenly understood!

However, he didn't want to waste this hard-won opportunity for a counterattack.

Now that Blue Flame Mode is activated, how can we just throw out a smoke screen and call it a day? We definitely need to add a full-power Flame Drive combo.

Pikachu thought so too.

He mustered all his courage and had already prepared the high-voltage electric shock from a distance.

After all, just now,

The combined burst damage from Charmander's Flame Drive and Pikachu's Electric Shock surpasses that of Alpha's strongest barrier, Magnet.

With such a powerful burst of energy, he might still have a chance to win if he were to clash with Deoxys again!

Charmander:

"Drink! Aaaaaaah! Blazing flames, advance!"

Pikachu:

"Aaaaaaah! Electric shock!"

Flames and lightning intertwined, instantly unleashing two powerful attacks of 120 power each onto Deoxys!

Deoxys Speed ​​Mode already possesses unparalleled super speed.

This means that he has more than enough speed to dodge the combined attack of the two little ones.

To everyone's surprise, Deoxys didn't dodge; instead, he stood still and gave the two little ones an incredibly confident look.

Rumble r ...

After the extremely powerful explosion,

Deoxys instantly switched to another incredible form!

In this form, Deoxys transforms his two arms into thick, band-like structures, calmly holding them up in front of him.

This is Deoxys - Defensive Form.

Deoxys - Defensive Form

Legend has it that Deoxys has four forms, with the Defense Form being an extreme form that maximizes both defenses, comparable to absolute defense.

Psychic type

Attack 70, Defense 160, Special Attack 70, Special Defense 160, Speed ​​90

Charmander's Flame Drive deals 3 damage.

Pikachu's electric shock deals 3 damage.

It only reduced my HP by 6 HP in total!

This is nothing more than a tickle to Deoxys Defense Mode.

Although speed was sacrificed,

However, this comes at the cost of an extreme increase in both defenses, making any high-burst skill seem like a mere tickle in the face of Deoxys.

【!】Charmander:

"Only 6 drops of health lost? That's outrageous!"

Pikachu:

"Exactly! How can we fight with something this ridiculously bad!"

"Oh dear, and our reflected damage is about to kick in, meaning our damage output won't even keep up with the reflected damage!"

(Charmander and Pikachu suffered significant backlash damage from the skill)

The next instant,

Charmander had figured out what this uninvited guest wanted, so he quickly grabbed Pikachu and ran off:

"Listen, Pikachu!"

"This guy is way too outrageous for us to mess with; we just have to run away!"

"And we absolutely must protect the Gears of Time on our bodies; that guy is relentlessly pursuing us because he's eyeing our Gears of Time!!"

Pikachu suddenly realized:

"Hey hey hey hey hey!"

"So Deoxys was after the Gears of Time on us all along, no wonder!"

The moment the words were spoken,

Deoxys's murderous gaze once again locked onto the Gears of Time on the two little ones.

Deoxys desperately wanted to possess all the Gears of Time.

However, it wasn't so easy for the two little ones to grab all the gears:

After all, if I exert even a little force, the brick will fly.

It could easily lead to serious damage to the Time Gears carried by the two little ones, so the cautious Deoxys only used 20% of its power to attack Charmander.

In addition, Deoxys has been able to use the [Switcheroo] skill for a long time.

It means being able to steal items from a target using a switcheroo in a very short time.

As a result, due to his extremely violent personality,

This caused Deoxys to gradually forget skills such as switching items and instead train violent skills like psychic powers, speed, and mental boost.

Say it's too late, then it's fast,

Charmander took advantage of Deoxys being caught in the smoke screen and quickly grabbed Pikachu to run away.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh—

After a cloud of dust from their rapid escape, only the slow-moving Deoxys Defensive Mode remained in place.

Deoxys pondered for a moment:

···

·····

········

In the midst of endless silence, he seemed to begin to reflect on why he had forgotten the divine skill of switching items, and instead spent his days practicing and pursuing bursts of high destructive power.

!

The next instant,

Once he regained his senses, Deoxys immediately transformed into a hurricane again, this time switching back to Speed ​​Mode in an instant.

It swooped straight down in the direction the two little ones had run away!

——————The Tower of Time: Major Storyline Break————————————

Right now,

The two little ones, exhausted but still desperately trying to escape:

"Pikachu, don't stop! We'll be caught again!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

"I know... but I really can't keep going any further, I really, really, really can't run anymore, little dragon!"

Oh no!

Charmander realized that Pikachu was really about to give up.

After all, Pikachu himself used three "really"s to emphasize that things are generally considered to be true only three times.

In this state of exhaustion,

Pikachu's constant escape due to exhaustion is certainly not a sustainable strategy.

The little dragon also frantically mobilized its brain cells along the way, using all its human wisdom to come up with countermeasures.

No!

I must come up with a solution!!

We've finally climbed to the 85th floor of the Time Limit Tower, and we're not far from the 100th floor!!!

If we are forced to give up now, we'll have to start all over again from floor 0!

Ding! A flash of inspiration!

The little dragon suddenly thought of something:

"yes!"

"Next is the 86th floor of the Tower of Time. Just one more floor down and there's hope!"

"Because that's the 86th floor! A completely different 86th floor from before! How come I never thought of the 86th floor before?!"

Seeing that the little fire dragon kept talking to itself about the 86th floor,

And he even mentioned "86th floor" three times!

Pikachu saw hope:

"Hey, hey!"

"Little Charmander, tell me quickly, what's going on on the 86th floor? Will we be saved once we reach the 86th floor?"

The little dragon's lips curled into a confident smile:

"Of course~"

"Pikachu, have you forgotten something? On floor 86, [Dialga's Roar of Time] will be appearing!"

"We are unaffected by the roar, but Deoxys might not be so."

"We can lure Deoxys over there and let him take Dialga's Roar of Time."

"This tactic is called 'Borrowing the Emperor to Kill the Successor'!"
