Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

But it doesn't matter much, no one in this world has ever seen the move of "an eye for an eye".

It all depends on whether the opponent can react in time; Zoroark is no longer the perennial bear it once was.

Zoroark's moves are incredibly fast; even with the side effects of the [Fierce] energy, she still manages to unleash them before her opponent can react.

"Moon Bear" narrowed its eyes, and deep purple ghost-type energy emerged from beneath the feet of the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon.

A chilling, resentful energy coalesced into threads.

Just like a classic scene from a horror movie, countless strands of hair became tangled together and spread wildly upwards from the soles of the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon's feet.

Then it tightly wrapped itself around the Scaled Dragon that had just come to its senses.

"Koumo—" The chilling, resentful attack made the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon, which had never experienced this move before, extremely uncomfortable, and it let out a shrill howl.

At the same time, he involuntarily shivered, and patches of light blue quietly appeared on his body, which was covered in scales.

Frostbite!

Xia Shen was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that the first act of revenge would result in the [Frostbite] status, which would cause the opponent to continuously lose stamina and also reduce the special damage caused by it by half!

Actually, it's not that lucky. The revenge system already has a 30% chance of freezing the opponent, and the [Fierce] energy increases this probability to 50%!

It's safe to say that as long as you're not too unlucky, after two rounds of this tit-for-tat, you can basically freeze your opponent.

The Staff-tailed Armored Dragon is a typical dual-wielding spirit, and when it is frozen, it is no exaggeration to say that it is half-useless.

More importantly, the opponent is unaware that they are in this negative situation!

Because the condition of [frostbite] does not even exist in reality!

Pulling himself back to reality, Xia Shen continued giving instructions: [Continue, fierce revenge!]

The effect of revenge goes beyond just frostbite. When the opponent is in a state of abnormality such as [frostbite], the power of this move will double!

……

The mournful screams of the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon awakened Zhong Chang.

After all, they are among the top newcomers in the country this year. From the very first second of the sudden change, to the endless cycle of revenge and attack on the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon.

In just two or three seconds, Zhong Chang had cleared his mind and put aside his doubts.

Now, treat Ursaring as a Ghost-type Pokémon and battle it!

Although our team is not in good condition right now, the bonus effect of Soul Dance Sonic Boom is still there, so we still have a chance of winning.

"Staff-tailed Armored Dragon, an eye for an eye!"

Ghost-type Pokémon have few natural enemies, with Dark-type being one of them.

"Koumo—" The dual pain of mind and body did not break the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon. Turning pain into strength, it viciously swung its fist at the Moon Bear in front of it.

At the same time, that chilling force of resentment from before crept up from beneath my feet again.

"Knock on Mo—"

It hurts, it hurts even more!

He didn't understand why, even though it was the same move, the pain he felt now was far greater than before.

Is it a move with increased damage, like a round or a combo attack?

Unaware of the chilling cold emanating from his body, the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon was too preoccupied to think about such matters anymore.

Fortunately, the tit-for-tat punch, imbued with Dark-type energy, also landed on Umbreon.

Suddenly, a change occurred. A gray mist spread around the Moon Bear and then quickly dissipated.

Amidst the horrified gazes of everyone, a slender, purple-haired fox demon slowly emerged from the gray mist...

His scarlet eyes held a chilling, malevolent aura; his long hair danced wildly without wind; his slender body was slightly hunched...

All of these elements highlight the dangerous message she carries.

But... I've never seen this elf before!

…………

"It's only been a few months? Xia Shen has discovered another new Pokémon??"

"It's not accurate to say 'discovery,' it should be called 'reconstruction and cultivation,' since according to Xia Shen, these Pokémon are all Pokémon forms that existed in the ancient East Sea."

"So this Pokémon is Zoroark? The new... no, the old form of the Ghost type?"

"It's immune to fighting, that should be it. Putting everything else aside, it's still very good-looking, far superior to Moon Bear."

"Dare to criticize my Moonbear? You think you can get away with this? I've told you countless times, strength equals style. This Zoroark looks tough, but don't let it turn out to be all show and no substance."

……

With the groundwork laid by the previous introduction of Ursaring and the teasers Xia Shen made at the press conference, the public was already somewhat prepared for the appearance of the new Pokémon.

Although they were still somewhat surprised, their shock was certainly not as intense as when they first saw the Moon Bear.

After a moment of surprise, they began to discuss the strength of this new Pokémon with great enthusiasm.

At this moment, the two people on the platform were also discussing this elf that was appearing in the eyes of the world for the first time.

"So it really is another form of Zoroark. It seems to have used a new Ghost-type move? But there's a difference in damage between the two uses. Is it Amplify Damage?" The old man seemed to be talking to himself.

"Why not a move that doubles the abnormal status, like when misfortunes never come singly?" Li Xiang suddenly retorted.

"Don't you think something's off about the Kommo-o-Tai?"

The old man was slightly surprised, then looked thoughtfully at the screen, where the Kommo-o-Tai seemed to be in an unusual state.

…………

After a moment of shock, Zhong Chang felt a slight excitement.

What's frightening is the unknown, but now that the enemy's true face has been revealed, we still have a chance!

At least... it can do something for the last Gengar.

"Clampon, scale noise!"

The high damage of an eye for an eye is based on the premise that you strike back later.

Now, Kommo-o'-the-Tails is in a state of near collapse. To regain the momentum, it must strike first!

Dragon Claw's damage isn't high enough, and Reverse Scale's side effects are too great. Kommo-o's signature move, Scale Noise, is currently the best choice.

[Scale Noise: A Dragon-type Special Attack move with a power of 110. It attacks by rubbing its scales together to create a loud sound. After use, its Defense is lowered by one stage.]

……

Xia Shen was somewhat surprised when he heard Zhong Chang's command.

The opponent used a special attack move so quickly, which was an unexpected bonus.

Since that's the case, let's just end this battle with a direct confrontation.

"Zoroark, an eye for an eye!" he shouted in a deep voice, revealing the name of his signature move.

He didn't add any fierce energy to Zoroark; the enhancement from meditation and ordinary cycles of revenge would have been enough to cripple him.

"Yo—" The resentful energy once again surged from beneath the feet of the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon, even faster than the previous two times.

Kommo-o, enduring the corrosive influence of Ghost-type energy, released its final scale noise.

"Clang—" The rhythmic sound attack struck Zoroark precisely at close range.

However... in Zhong Chang's unwilling gaze, Zoroark, who was injured by the attack, only frowned slightly, and there were no obvious sonic attack marks on his body.

How can it be!

Zhong Chang knew all too well the damage his starter Pokémon could do, not to mention that Zoroark was a Pokémon known for its strong offense but weak defense.

How could the noise from scales only cause such minimal harm?

Could it be that Zoroark, like Mimikyu, is a Ghost/Fairy type that completely counters Kommo-o?

Or is this form of Zoroark very durable?

Even though it was hard to believe, and even though it was full of confusion, the invincible Kommo-o fell.

The only Pokémon that hasn't yet appeared in the Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School tournament is Gengar.

…………

The rest area for students from Jiangzhou No.1 Middle School.

Looking at the rather nervous Wang Ran, the coach said in a deep voice, "Xia Shen's Zoroark has definitely not been evolved for long, otherwise it wouldn't have only been revealed now. And your Gengar has near-professional strength and is also super effective against Zoroark."

"Once we defeat Zoroark, Ursaring poses no threat to Gengar with the Levitate ability. Relax, victory will still be ours!"

The coach's reasoned reassurances gradually relaxed Wang Ran. He nodded gently, then greeted the distraught Zhong Chang and embarked on the final journey of this match.

Stand still, whistle blows, toss the ball.

Gengar, a round, purple Ghost-type Pokémon, makes its grand entrance, and the battle officially begins!

"Gengar, Shadow Ball!" Wang Ran immediately launched an attack as soon as he entered the field.

"Zoroyak, we'll respond with an eye for an eye!" Xia Shen retorted sharply.

He clumsily played the role of someone trying to bleed as much as possible to create opportunities for his teammates.

As the second-ranked singles player in Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School, Gengar naturally has its own characteristics, namely its speed!

Whether it's movement speed or the speed at which skills are cast.

Even faster than Zoroark, a deep purple shadow ball rapidly condensed and shot towards Zoroark, who was still charging up his attack.

The Shadow Sphere flew at an extremely fast speed; in almost the blink of an eye, the Shadow Sphere, filled with explosive shadow energy, had already flown to Zoroark's front.

At this moment, Zoroark had just finished charging up its move, and thousands of fine, hair-like strands of resentment wrapped around Gengar.

Wang Ran didn't care at all. Based on his observation from below, the first attack of this Ghost-type move called [Revenge After Revenge] wasn't very painful.

All you need to do for a while is avoid a second round of revenge.

Wang Ran smiled slightly, "However, the Gengar that I have nurtured with all my might is outstanding in both Special Attack and Speed, and has already reached the professional level."

Can you catch that Shadowball?
