Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

…………

Xia Shen smiled slightly as he looked at the panicked tree owl.

Will Zoroark launch a surprise attack?

No, at least not before.

Neither regular Dark-type nor Green Ghost-type will.

But ever since the Yokai Stone possessed Zoroark, she naturally learned this move.

A unique, hidden "spirit" attack, a spirit from the spirit world.

Strictly speaking, Marshadow and the Elite Four-level Night Demon also know this move. The common connection between these spirits is that they are all related to the Monster Tablet.

That's right, this is the power that the Yokai Stone Tablets granted Zoroark, allowing him to move freely between the Spirit World and the real world.

However, the Night Demon and Marshall have limited "authority" and there is a time limit on the number of times they can use their abilities.

As for Zoroark, he naturally wore whatever he wanted.

Of course, there are limitations, such as energy consumption.

This move consumes significantly more Ghost-type energy than a regular Phantom Strikes.

Even with the Yokai Stone Tablet as a "hidden backup energy source," Zoroark could only wear it about ten times in a single battle.

Don't think this is a small amount; it's actually quite a lot.

If it were a regular move like Shadow Ball, Zoroark could bombard it relentlessly for half an hour without stopping.

Of course, as Zoroark grows and his fusion with the Yokai Tablet deepens, he will be able to use Phantom Strikes more often.

Xia Shen was so extravagant in letting Zoroark use it at the start of the game for two reasons: firstly, to make a quick advance, and secondly, to bait out the protection of the Sniper Tree Owl!

Right now!

…………

The sniper owl, its protective barrier breached, was somewhat panicked, meaning it was completely defenseless against Zoroark.

"Hold your position, sniper tree owl, turn around, and launch a surprise attack!"

The trainer's voice calmed him down. Despite the pain, Decidueye turned around and focused its Dark-type energy.

Without a doubt, after Zoroark's Phantom Assault closed in, his next move was Shadow Claw, which allowed Sniper Deciduous Owl's surprise attack to be successfully executed.

The extremely close distance, coupled with the preemptive nature of the surprise attack, allowed Sniper Deciduous Owl to unleash its attack before Zoroark could.

He spread his wings, and dark energy, carried by his wings, sliced ​​into the "Sticky Dragon" in front of him like a sharp blade.

There was no ear-piercing sound of a blade scraping against steel as expected. The gray mist dissipated, and the figure of the purple-haired fox demon appeared.

Along with her, deep purple ghost-type energy emanated from her sharp claws.

"Whoosh—"

The sound of the blade piercing the body was faint, only Zoroark and Dewdrop could hear it clearly.

However, a slight sound does not necessarily mean low harm.

On the contrary, Zoroark is a dual-wielding Pokémon, and after using Swords Dance, its attack power is further enhanced.

Coupled with the surge in power she gained after fusing with the monster stone tablet, this Shadow Claw almost tore the wings of the Sniper Tree Owl!

While that surprise attack did inflict considerable damage on Zoroark, it was nothing compared to the counterattack with Shadow Claws.

Liliff knew her Sniper Treeow better than anyone. She instantly realized that her Sniper Treeow could only take one more Shadow Claw attack at most.

Any more would be really impolite.

However, the damage the Sniper Tree Owl has suffered since its appearance has been limited to the previous Magic Flash, and the combined effects of Spirit Sneak Strike and Shadow Claw.

Liliff was a little confused, and she turned to look at the senior next to her for help.

Alice, who actually had nothing to direct, had already seen this scene and was now gasping for breath.

…………

This damage is just too outrageous!

Alice instantly realized that the attack power of this Zoroark was almost approaching that of her own Class 5 Kommo-o.

Not after the sword dance, but before the sword dance!

What kind of terrifying growth rate is this?

Three months ago, she was just a professional level 3 elf.

That professional level 4 Togekiss is acceptable; although it's already at a non-human level, it's still a Martian, after all.

What about Zoroark?

These are definitely Sirius people!

Alice couldn't help but look at Xia Shen, whose face remained as calm as a still lake, while inwardly she was screaming.

But beneath the amazement, there was also resentment and a strange sense of unease.

Perhaps next time we meet, he will completely overtake me.

So, she had to consider whether today might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

With that in mind, she said in a low voice to the girl beside her, "Lily, switch to that elf! Let's go together!"

Lilif paused slightly upon hearing "that Pokémon," then nodded emphatically and pulled another Poké Ball from her waist.

With alternating red and white light, she withdrew her Decidueye before the next Shadow Claw could strike, and switched to a Pokémon that elicited a deafening roar of cheers from the crowd.

A silver head and a black body.

What's even more peculiar is that it has a bird-like head, an animal-like body, and a fish-like tail.

This is an elf that has never appeared before the world!

"Xia Shen, what kind of spirit is this?" Yan Yan was also startled, but it was because she had seen a spirit she had never seen before.

Her inexplicable trust in Xia Shen led her to ask him this question instinctively.

Upon seeing the sprite, Xia Shen's expression finally became uneasy. He recognized it at a glance; the sprite's name was...

Sildenafil!

A legendary artificial spirit created in imitation of Arceus!

…………

As one of the few man-made legendary Pokémon, Silvally is far inferior to Mewtwo in both strength and fame.

But each Pokémon has its own unique characteristics, and Silvally is no exception.

Its unique feature is that it has a one-of-a-kind AR system that can change its attributes depending on the different battle discs stored.

Although it was a clumsy imitation of the Slate of Arceus, not everyone could imitate the legendary creator god.

Even its base stats are evenly distributed, just like Arceus's.

However, Arceus is an all-around warrior with 120 in each stat, totaling 720, while Sildenafil is only a mediocre warrior with 95 in each stat, totaling 570.

In short, it's not an exaggeration to call it a "mini Arceus" in terms of appearance, characteristics, and even base stats.

But why is it here?

In the game, Silvally is an artificial Pokémon developed by the Aether Foundation specifically to combat Ultra Beasts.

But this world has neither the Aether Foundation nor Ultra Beasts, so how could Silvally appear?

And judging from the audience's reaction just now, this wasn't the first time they had seen Silvally.

Xia Shen was filled with doubts, but could only put them aside for the time being.

I can only ask after I've finished the test, even though they might not necessarily tell me.

Lilif briefly introduced Silvally to Yan Yan. At the same time, on the opposite side of the battlefield, Lilif had already thrown a black disc towards Silvally.

Is that a dark storage disc?

It's highly likely that the Dark Storage can change Silvally's type to Dark, making it the best type to counter Zoroark.

Pulling his thoughts back, Xia Shen stopped thinking about those irrelevant things and focused on the battle on the field, which is the most basic quality of a trainer.

[Zoroark, use a stealth attack to target the Haxorus.]

Xia Shen isn't stupid. If he doesn't have a better way to deal with the Dark-type Silvally, then he should deal with Haxorus first.

If Silvally dares to catch up, Lucario's close-range attack with two Swords Dances won't be easy to withstand.

The next instant, Zoroark's figure vanished silently from the battlefield, and Alice's alarm bells rang immediately.

With Sildenafil right in front of Zoroark, there was no need to use a stealth attack to ambush it.

So Zoroark's target this time is definitely Haxorus!

------------

Chapter 260 I'm about to be driven crazy by the dog trainer!

Phantom Strike is one of the most hated moves by Ghost-type Pokémon.

Of course, aversion stems from fear; after all, who would dislike a water splash that serves no practical purpose?

It can be used for both offense and defense, and compared to common and similar tactics like digging, it's also less susceptible to earthquakes.

Do you think your earthquake can send you to another dimension?

Offensively, it not only deals high damage, but it can also penetrate protection!

It can be said that this is a near-perfect move, except for its huge energy consumption and short duration of incubation.

Although Zoroark's Phantom Raid only occurred once, its elusive and unpredictable nature made everyone realize how terrifying it was.

At this moment, when Zoroark disappeared from the battlefield again, Alice panicked a little.

Haxorus can't locate enemies by sound like Decidueye, otherwise Lucario in front of it could smash its face.

The penetrating effect of the stealth attack renders the protection move useless, making it difficult to fight no matter what.
