Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

……

The accelerated crow is completely different from the one at startup.

Like a black lightning bolt, Crow Head approached Circle Bear at an extremely fast speed.

It estimated the distance between the two, its eyes narrowed, and it intently observed its opponent with sharp eyes, trying to find the weakest point on the circle bear.

Within its body, evil energy began to gather on its wings. With just one more sprint, the crow's sharp, blade-like wings would slash at the clumsy body of the circle bear.

But at that moment, Quan Quan Xiong's bodybuilding movements suddenly stopped...

Are you only just realizing how fast the crow is flying?

Wu Yu sneered. If he had interrupted the bodybuilding earlier, there might have been a chance to fight back, but now it was too late!

Perhaps his subconscious belief told him that it was impossible for Quan Quan Xiong to complete bodybuilding in such a short time.

Wu Yu did not notice that the circle bear was emitting a faint orange light.

He now had only one thought in his mind—that he was only one step away from defeating three opponents with this Circle Bear, which he had been raising for no more than six months.

……

The abundant black evil energy had already tightly wrapped around the raven's head's wings, dyeing its feathers as black as ink.

A gust of wind howled, and in almost the blink of an eye, Crow Head and Circle Bear brushed past each other.

The leader of the crows' sneak attack on a vital point...missed?

How can this be?

Wu Yu's mind was in complete turmoil; he knew all too well the speed at which the crow leader had accelerated.

Even with its other incredibly fast Crobat, Ravenhead's attacks at its third-fastest speed have a very high hit rate.

Today, a circled bear actually dodged it, and in less than half a second!

Wu Yu even suspected that the elf in front of him was Regigigas dressed as a bear-like creature.

But what shocked him was far more than that.

On the field, a sharp, thick, light blue stone pillar rose from the ground and pierced directly into the crow leader, who was still in a daze!

What's going on with this ghostly skill release speed?

If they weren't on the competition field, Wu Yu would probably have already roared out loud.

Not only him, but also the audience at the scene, the chat room, and even the professional trainers watching from the sidelines, no one could understand this strange Ursaring!

The scene from the battlefield, which lasted less than three seconds, replayed in their minds again and again.

In just over a second, he completed his bodybuilding routine, nimbly dodging the attack by sidestepping, and then unleashed a sharp stone attack in another second.

You're telling me this is an amateur-level Politoed Bear?

Is this reasonable?

## Chapter 102 The Simple Wisdom of the People of Xicui

Is this reasonable?

In the Ganges!

After all, this is not some kind of magic, but simply the simple wisdom of the ancient Xicui people.

Xia Shen had been pinpointing the crow's location ever since the crow leader launched its attack.

They also kept a close eye on its flight path to determine the most likely target for a surprise attack.

This is another hidden advantage that comes with strong mental power.

The control that trainers with superpowers have over the battle is terrifying!

Although Xia Shen was indeed amazed by the Crow's sudden acceleration, he quickly and accurately calculated that the Circle Bear could complete its bodybuilding exercise before the Crow's head flew close.

At the same time, Xia Shen also observed that, in pursuit of extreme speed, the crow leader, after locking onto its location, charged straight towards the left side of the circle bear's neck in a straight line.

The message was transmitted to Circle Bear via telepathy without any delay, and everything else followed naturally.

For the Circly Bear, dodging this attack was easier than playing dodgeball during training.

Then, taking advantage of the moment when the crow leader and its trainer were stunned, the Ursaring unleashed another [Swift] energy-enhanced Stone Attack, catching its opponents off guard.

……

These are the amazing moves that left everyone baffled, and they belonged solely to Xia Shen!

It can be said that the combination of superpowers and mastery of swift techniques is essential; without either one, such extreme effects would be impossible.

The doubts and ridicule vanished without a trace within those few seconds.

Hearing the gasps of surprise from the audience, Xia Shen smiled slightly.

Don't rush, the show has only just begun.

……

Although Rock-type Rock Slash is twice as effective against Flying-type Raven Head.

However, firstly, the power of the moves used so quickly was not enough, and secondly, the energy level of the circle bear was much lower than that of the crow leader.

So even though Ursaring's Flame Orb activated her [Guts] ability, along with the approximately one and a half attack boosts from Swift & Bulk Up, it didn't help.

This attack with sharp stones was hardly a serious injury to Crow Leader.

Wu Yu also noticed this. Judging from the feedback from the Crow Leader, the opponent's damage was not very high.

Although he was still shaken by what had just happened, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, it was only a circus bear that had been bred for more than half a year. Even if it was different from other bears in some ways, it was still impossible to break through the difference in breeding time.

Wu Yu steadied himself, cleared his mind of all unnecessary thoughts, and refocused on the battle on the field.

Now that he had a general idea of ​​the strength of his opponent's attack, he decided to revise his offensive strategy.

Wu Yu shouted in a deep voice, "Crow Leader, do it again, a sneak attack on vital points!"

……

Xia Shen frowned slightly. "Again?"

Even when Crow Head charges at high speed, Circle Bear manages to dodge.

Now that the two Pokémon are so close together, Crow's Head doesn't even have a chance to speed up. Why is the opponent still so determined to try again?

Did he think that his dodge just now was just a fluke?

Xia Shen couldn't believe that someone who could stand on this stage would have such a naive idea.

There's only one reason left: he has a backup plan.

On the field, pitch-black dark energy once again gathered on the wings of the crow leader.

However, because the sprint distance was too short, its speed this time was much slower than before.

Even without Xia Shen's reminder, the circle bear nimbly twisted its neck and avoided the crow's head and the same spot from last time.

……

"Has Wu Yu been beaten senseless? It's one thing to use the same move, but it's even from the same spot?"

"Won't Weicheng No.1 Middle School miss this golden opportunity? They're about to win against three opponents!"

"His coach and teammates would never have imagined that what they raised was not a monster, but a piece of trash."

……

The trend in bullet comments has always been like this: fickle and indecisive.

Although they may not even have a starter Pokémon, it doesn't stop them from speaking with an air of superiority over professional trainers.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

On the field, Raven Head and Circle Bear once again missed each other after their attack failed.

Seeing that this offensive had failed once again, Wu Yu suddenly shouted, "Return!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the crow leader, who was still rushing forward at high speed due to inertia, suddenly flipped over!

Enveloped in a gust of flying energy, the crow, using the momentum from its previous sprint, turned around and attacked at an even faster speed!

It's a swallow returning!

Wu Yu sneered, "Don't you like to hide?"

Try dodging another one of those guaranteed hits from the Swallow Return!

The guaranteed hit of the Swallow Return is quite different from the locking effect of high-speed stars and wave missiles.

Instead, they launched a surprise attack by turning around and sprinting at an even faster speed.

The shifts in attack rhythm and the unexpected methods make it almost impossible for anyone to dodge the Swallow Return.

Legend has it that the most elite giant swallows can still nimbly flip over even at supersonic speeds, using their sharp wing blades to mercilessly slice through enemies who think they have dodged the attack.

Although this crow leader is still a long way from the legendary highest level of Swallow Return, it is more than enough to face the Circle Bear of the same level.

For the Crow Leader, whose attack power has already increased by two levels, the damage from Swallow Return is not much different from that of Brave Bird Assault.

The counterattack begins now!

……

The chilling sound of something cutting through the air grew closer, but the circled bear, with its back to the crow leader, remained motionless, seemingly oblivious to the danger behind it.

Anticipation, worry, excitement... a variety of emotions mingled in the gazes of those facing off on the battlefield.

"Boom!"
