Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

A yawn? Is that how polite of you?

Xia Shen had assumed that his opponent had sent out two such large Pokémon, and that they would go head-to-head with him.

I didn't expect that the first thing I'd do after coming up here is to yawn at myself.

Pulling himself back to reality, Xia Shen calmly used his telepathy to respond to the commands of the two spirits.

[Tibrim uses Psychic Surge on Snorlax.]

[Moon Bear, protect.]

This is how strong mental strength and telepathy help in command.

Mental power greatly reduces the time it takes for him to think and react, while telepathy allows him to communicate seamlessly with spirits.

Therefore, when the two Pokémon just started charging up their moves, the two opposing Pokémon, Snorlax and Rhyperior, who had heard the command first, only reacted a fraction of a second earlier.

This is also the source of his confidence that he can command two elves by himself and is not inferior to others.

……

The opponent's Snorlax wasn't very familiar with the Yawn move.

The transparent barrier that Moonbear erected after it arrived took a second to act on Moonbear, which contained a magical power that could make elves sleepy.

Undoubtedly, it was protected and resisted.

[Bulbasaur, let's dig a hole and head towards Snorlax!]

While Tibrim's powerful mental attack was still building up, Xia Shen had already commanded the Moon Bear to burrow underground.

In this battle, Xia Shen's primary objective is to focus fire on his opponent's Snorlax.

Snorlax and Rhyperior are both high-output, high-durability Pokémon, but low-speed.

The difference is that Snorlax has high Special Defense but low Physical Defense, while Rhyperior has the opposite.

Xia Shen's two Pokémon's main damage dealers are still Ursaring, so naturally they will focus their attacks on Snorlax, which has lower physical defense.

Moreover, although the [Mental Shock] that Xia Shen had Tibrim use was a special attack, it caused physical damage when it hit the opponent.

It can also contribute to focusing fire on Snorlax.

……

At this moment, Li Si and her Snorlax faced such a problem.

Because Snorlax is too slow, it is difficult for it to dodge the attacks that Teebrim locks onto it.

But if you use protection now, what if the Moon Bear is about to dig a hole and then gets up and tries to hold on?

Li Si, who stood out from the talented students at Shangjing Middle School and entered the school team, made her choice without hesitation in a very short reaction time.

"Snorlax, use Protect!"

She knew the characteristics of Xia Shen's elf's moves; if the duration was long, the power of the move would increase significantly.

The attack that Tibrimon is about to unleash after charging up for so long, though I don't know what it is yet, is probably a mental shock that can take advantage of my low physical defense.

At the very beginning of the game, I absolutely cannot take such high damage, otherwise it will be difficult to win later.

As for Yueyuexiong, there's always a way out. Besides, it's like she has no teammates.

Just as the transparent barrier in front of Snorlax's massive body was erected, a psychic attack that materialized and resembled a laser slammed into the protective barrier.

Li Si let out a long breath as he looked at the mental shockwave, whose power was already approaching that of a professional-level Pokémon attack.

Luckily, I reacted in time and used the protection, otherwise this thing would have been a real problem for Snorlax.

…………

Just as Snorlax blocked Teebris's attack, Rhyperior, which had been digging its way underground, was almost at its destination—below Teebris.

For elves like Moonbear and Super Armored Rhinoceros, digging burrows to hide their tracks is impossible.

Its enormous size allows even underground creatures to clearly sense the approach of enemies.

At this moment, the rumbling sounds from underground grew clearer and clearer in Xia Shen's ears, which meant that the Super Armored Rhinoceros was close to Tebrimon's side.

Xia Shen frowned slightly. Super Armor Rhino stared intently at Tiblim. Was he trying to turn a doubles match into two singles matches?

Did he think that if he commanded two elves by himself, he would be too busy to manage both and wouldn't be able to control the situation?

Very likely.

However, you're just being clever for your own good. You have no idea what the joy of superpowered people is like!

[Tibrim, continue using Psychic Blast on Snorlax, then move towards them!]

[Moonbear, after digging its way out of the burrow, it's been stubbornly holding on!]

Xia Shen still hasn't changed his strategy of focusing fire on Snorlax. Facing two Pokémon with extremely high durability, it would be the most foolish thing to do to attack them all at once.

In a protracted war, Tibbers' durability becomes a major weakness.

As for the approaching super armored rhinoceros, all it could do was try to use its superior speed to avoid some damage.

"cloth--"

Upon receiving the command, Tibrim continued to gather energy for the Psychic Blast while using her braid, which was propped up on the ground, to hop towards Snorlax.

……

At the same time, after protecting itself, Snorlax unleashed its next move.

"Snorlax, charge up!"

Li Si's instructions surprised Xia Shen, as the "Charge Up" move was very different from other enhanced moves.

By accumulating power, both physical defense and special defense can be increased by one level, up to a maximum of three times.

There is another move that corresponds to this one, called [Swallow].

By absorbing the accumulated power, one can restore their physical strength. The greater the accumulated power, the more physical strength is restored.

Three charges can even restore more than half of your stamina!

The trade-off is that the previously enhanced dual defense capabilities will be restored.

Xia Shen was surprised because he never expected Snorlax to use this move.

Because nobody plays like that in games!

It occupies two of the four move slots, and it's purely a tank move that takes hits.

Belly Drum, Endure, Sleep – any of these high-powered physical attack moves are better than these two.

However, in real-world battles where there are no restrictions on moves, these two skills would be considered cheating.

When not using the swallow skill, my defense is extremely high, and you can't hit me at all. When I feel that my stamina is about to run out, I swallow the stacks of power to recover.

This is much better than sleeping; the [swallow] action only takes a fleeting moment.

As for sleeping... who knows what insane things your opponent might do to you while you're sleeping.

Helpless, Xia Shen had no choice but to change his approach.

[Moonbear, don't try to tough it out after you come out, unleash a powerful sword dance!]

Let's see if your meat shield is stronger, or my bear claws are sharper!

The reason Xia Shen chose sword dance instead of bodybuilding is because he wasn't afraid at all.

Because he knew that his opponent's Snorlax had not yet learned Belly Drum, the most terrifying power-up move of all!

In the game, this is a move that can only be learned when the energy level reaches 48. If Snorlax learns this move, it will definitely have professional-level strength.

Without its belly drum, Snorlax could easily be mistaken for a toothless tiger.

……

"Kirby—"

Enhanced energy began to flow within Snorlax's body, making its massive form appear even more rounded.

Just as it was gathering its strength, Umbreon burst out of the ground beneath it, making the most of the second stage of damage from Dig. Then, it followed closely behind Snorlax and began to use Swords Dance to boost its power.

The two spirits strengthened themselves without interfering with each other, creating a scene that looked both harmonious and eerie.

"cloth--"

The harmonious scene was suddenly shattered by a psychic wave that materialized.

Not far away, Tibrimon's Psychic Blast shot over and hit Snorlax, who was charging up in place and couldn't dodge.

But there's no need to dodge; compared to swift and powerful moves, the power is significantly weaker.

For a tough-skinned Snorlax, enduring the Dig Down and Psychic Strike was hardly a serious injury.

As your charged attack levels increase, the opponent's damage will only decrease.

Finally, Snorlax managed to charge up before Ursaring could use its [Swords Dance].

Meanwhile, Tebriem and the Super Armored Rhino arrived at the scene one after the other.

This doubles match marked the first time that all four Pokémon came together.

……

"Snorlax, keep charging up!"

"Super Armored Rhinoceros, Earthquake!"

Without a doubt, given the current distance of the four Pokémon, the earthquake would be virtually indiscriminately destructive.

Chen Xiao wasn't indifferent to Snorlax's life or death, but he knew that when Rhyperior unleashed its Earthquake, Snorlax's second charge-up would be almost over, and the damage it would suffer would be minimal.

But this earthquake will be a catastrophe for Moon Bear and Tibbers!

[Tibrim, protect!]

[Moon Bear, we also had an earthquake!]

Xia Shen's powerful mental strength allowed him to react almost instantly, immediately giving instructions through telepathy.

It's just an earthquake, isn't it?

Anyone can do that!
