Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

Fortunately, the creature that was hit by the nearly half-ton Goodra was not a human, but an elf.

In front of the rock, the sirens wobbled to their feet, their webbed paws trembling as they braced themselves on the ground, indicating that they were seriously injured.

"West Lion Sea Ren, Water Flows Around!"

Jiang Feng didn't expect that before the double walls were even fully opened, the West Lion Sea Serpent was already on the verge of collapse, so he had no choice but to command her to cast Water Ring to open the trap.

His voice trembled slightly; his mind was filled with that snail shell.

The snail shell that made a clattering sound when it first appeared, after being hit by an ice punch...

With a flick of its tail, the baboon's snail shell flew away...

And then there's the snail shell that just smashed into the Shetland Herren like a dump truck...

It can attack, it can defend, and it can run...

Isn't this snail shell a bit too much?

Why doesn't my Primarina have a shell on its tail?

But the world of elves is cruel; some things you are born without, you will never have in this lifetime.

……

Over there, Goodra emerged from its shell and was about to press its advantage when it discovered that Primarina had been knocked far away again.

Helpless, she had no choice but to crawl back into the shell and roll over, but this time she dared not speed again.

If you get knocked down again, you have to roll over to chase after it, and this cycle repeats itself. What kind of football is this?

A distance of ten meters or so is not far, but this time the sticky dragon rolled a little slowly.

So when she arrived, water was already flowing around her, slowly healing her wounds.

The Water Ring, which provides continuous healing to the West Lionheart, has been successfully cast.

"Western Lion and Hairen, reflecting wall!"

Jiang Feng persevered to the end, building a light wall, a water ring, and now a reflective wall.

Faced with two Dragon-type Pokémon, Primarina, which was perfectly fine, turned into a defensive team.

Jiang Feng was also helpless about this. The Daruma baboon basically had no fighting ability, unless he could deal with this annoying Goomei dragon first.

Now I can only proceed cautiously and steadily, because you can only deal damage if you're alive.

As for whether Xia Shen will switch to Garchomp or Ursaring and use Brick Break to break through the double walls.

This is no longer something Jiang Feng can consider right now. Rather, it's not so bad. He's already feeling a bit nauseous just looking at this sticky dragon.

Primarin continued unleashing its attacks, and Goodra wasn't idle either. Finally able to close the distance, she emerged from her steel shell, her antennae beginning to turn green...

Although the color was a bit strange, Jiang Feng's face instantly turned green when he saw the scene.

Is this a powerful whipping technique?

……

The combination of Water and Fairy attributes of Primarina is quite excellent.

It has many resistances, but only three weaknesses: electricity, poison, and grass.

Power Whip is one of the few high-damage Grass-type moves that counters her, and it's a physical move.

Primarina has extremely high Special Defense, but its Physical Defense is much lower. With such a powerful Whip attack that is doubly super effective against it, it's going to suffer a lot.

Jiang Feng felt a slight bitterness in his heart, but he could only continue to console himself with platitudes.

It's okay, once I open the double walls, the water circulation will gradually take effect, and then we'll see who can outlast whom!

On the field, Primarina was still using Psychic-type energy to construct a Reflector, while Goodra's powerful Whip was already ready in front of her.

Her two strong, powerful tentacles glowed brightly green as they lashed wildly at the Primarina's body.

With both tentacles lashing out simultaneously, each lash unleashed grass-type energy from within the tentacles, corroding Primarina's body. Primarina's beautiful voice could only utter a shrill scream.

After a five-hit lightning whip combo, the reflective barrier was slowly formed, and the West Lion Sea Serpent's stamina had already declined significantly.

Although the two Pokémon are currently in vastly different states, a glint of shrewdness unexpectedly appeared in Jiang Feng's eyes.

Because he discovered that the invisible smoke surrounding Nectar Dragon had finally disappeared.

This also means that the move called "Seclusion" that caused the Daruma baboon to miss twice in a row has finally come to an end.

Now that all of its defensive measures are in place, the West Lion Sea King still has most of its stamina left.

Finally, it's my turn to fight back!

…………

"West Lion Sea Ren, the power of the moon!" Jiang Feng whispered.

Primarina is Jiang Feng's most prized ace Pokémon, whose output is in no way inferior to Daruma.

Furthermore, the item he equipped for the West Lion Sea Serpent was a Life Orb of extremely high quality.

It can probably increase the output of Primarina's moves by nearly 40%, although the cost is that it will consume much more stamina.

But thanks to the water circulation, it was enough to make up for it.

……

"Nianmeilong, continue using the powerful whipping!"

Faced with an opponent who had sounded the horn of counterattack, Xia Shen was not nervous at all; on the contrary, he was invigorated.

Finally, the wait is over, and the healing stone I brought can finally be opened.

If I let Niu Meilong dodge today, I'll admit defeat!

He showed no intention of dodging, but instead withstood his opponent's signature move, Moon Power, and the already erected Reflect, choosing to retaliate forcefully.

If Jiang Feng could notice the disappearance of the secluded cultivation state, Xia Shen, who was more familiar with Nian Meilong than him, would naturally have noticed it as well.

However, he did not choose to let Goodra continue its seclusion. Facing Primarina, a special attacker, seclusion would be like creating a shadow clone, which was unnecessary.

As for switching to Garchomp and Ursaring to break through double walls with Brick Break, that would indeed be a good choice.

But Xia Shen wanted to leave today's stage to Zhan Meilong alone.

Besides, slowly tormenting your opponent while facing a reflective barrier doesn't sound bad at all.

The battle continues on the field.

Because the two Pokémon's charged moves are at similar speeds, Moonblast and Power Whip strike almost simultaneously hit each other.

What shocked Jiang Feng and the audience was that the Nume Dragon, who had taken the Moon Power attack, only swayed slightly.

Then, there was almost no further reaction!

On the contrary, the Primarina, protected by the reflective barrier, emitted a soft hum as its two tentacles twitched.

……

impossible!

Jiang Feng stared blankly, those three words echoing in his mind.

How could Primarina's Moon Power possibly have caused such a small amount of damage to a Dragon-type Pokémon!

While Goodra's Special Defense is indeed very high,... it shouldn't be this exaggerated, right?

I used Moon Power, which is effective against Dragon-type attacks, not Water Cannon, which is resisted by Dragon-type attacks!

As Jiang Feng watched the wounds on Nian Meilong's body, inflicted by the power of the moon, begin to heal slowly, his already crumbling mental state worsened.

One after another, counterintuitive things happened on the battlefield, impacting Jiang Feng's heart like waves crashing against a tiny fishing boat on a vast ocean.

……

The unusual behavior of Nian Meilong, which is different from that of ordinary dragons, has also aroused excited discussions among the audience.

"It can withstand attacks, fight, and run away—how can there be such a perfect Pokémon? Can you hurry up and figure out how it evolves? I want to raise one too!"

"Come on, it's been almost a year and there's still no news about the Moon Bear's evolution. Maybe I should raise a Ghost Tail Black Fish to satisfy my craving first."

"Putting aside whether Numeru is strong or not, the contestant sent by Sichuan University is too weak. The power of the moon can't even hurt Numeru? What kind of trash power is that?"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Jiang Feng's Primarina has been at the professional level 4 for a long time, and its special attack is very high. It also has a Life Orb. If it can't even break through, I suspect that Goodra is wearing an Assault Vest that increases special defense."

"How could it be an assault vest? Her previous seclusion was clearly to enhance her skills. Besides, look at how her wounds are slowly healing; she must be wearing a healing stone, okay?"

"Do you think it's possible—I mean, possible—that this form of Goodra has another Fairy-resistant type, like Fire, Poison, or... Steel?"

"Very likely! Judging from its appearance, we can rule out Fire type first. Poison type isn't impossible, but please, it can't be Steel type... that would be too terrifying..."

…………

Jiang Feng felt he couldn't hold on any longer, and he needed to find some reason to keep fighting.

Based on his knowledge of Pokémon, it wasn't hard to guess that Goodra had another type, and... it was very likely Steel!

But he dared not think in that terrible direction, because if this Goodra was a Steelix, then his three Pokémon, Primarina, Darmanitan, and Amoonguss, would be completely helpless against her!

This most reasonable, yet most terrifying, conjecture flashed through Jiang Feng's mind, only to be deliberately ignored by him.

People in despair only believe what they want to believe.

I understand. This Goodra is definitely bred with its Special Defense maxed out. I'm going to switch to Darmanitan to fight it!

With this in mind, he no longer hesitated, recalled the Lionheart, and with a flash of white light, the Daruma Baboon appeared.

It remains a Daruma doll in the form of a snowman emitting flames.

"Dharma Baboon, Icicle Slam!"

"Goodra, Iron Tail!"

The two trainers were locked in a fierce battle, simultaneously commanding their Pokémon to use moves that were effective against each other.

However, is the restraint that Jiang Feng believes in truly restraint...?

……

In Daruma Mode, Daruma Baboon's physical attack and speed are greatly enhanced.

Soon, an ice pillar, larger than in its normal state, with a sharper tip and a more chilling aura, hung above the head of the sticky dragon.
