Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

"You actually used this method to break my electromagnetic shield?"

Du Juan could not help but reveal a look of surprise, and used the electromagnetic manipulation skills of the three little North Koreans to change the entire field into a special venue, thereby distorting the magnetic field to form a shield to resist the attack.

This, combined with Dachao Beibi's extremely strong dual defense attributes, plus the light cannon offensive of three attributes, the power gem, the cannon light cannon and the electromagnetic cannon, constitutes Du Juan's tactics.

To put it simply, it is a fixed iron turret. Although the power of the single-shot cannon is not too great because the attributes of the Dachao Beibi itself are not very strong, it is good that if one shot fails, you can just throw a few more.

After all, this is not a turn-based game, where you and I take turns to exchange moves. As long as the opponent cannot break the defense of the electromagnetic shield, he can only passively take the beating. Da Chao Beibi can continuously use light cannons to cause damage.

No matter what kind of battle it is, you will never win if you just take a beating without fighting back.

After realizing this, Lowe also knew that he must break the electromagnetic shield, but the defense of the electromagnetic shield was quite strong, and even the frontal attack of the Masked Cat could not break it in a short time.

As a result, Lowe found another way, because he noticed that the electromagnetic shield was released by the combination of three little Chaobei, so as long as this formation was destroyed, the electromagnetic shield would naturally collapse.

Therefore, Lowe used Rapid Return to replace Catman and Ralts, and then let Ralts use a close-range instant teleport to directly separate the two little North Koreans and teleport them to the two ends of the arena, forcibly breaking the formation.

Xiao Chao Beibi's formation was destroyed and the electromagnetic shield disappeared immediately. Without saying a word, Lowe immediately changed hands and replaced Masked Cat again.

Next, what needs to be done is naturally simple...

...Without the defense of the electromagnetic shield, the unprotected Dachao Beibi is just a fixed target.

Even though it could still release attack skills, without the electromagnetic interference that affected its speed, in the eyes of the Masked Cat, which was good at roaming and guerrilla warfare, Da Chao Beibi's attack could be avoided with his eyes closed.

She could even gracefully close the distance between the two sides while dancing briskly, doing all kinds of somersaults, side flips and big spins, it really was as if she was dancing a beautiful dance to some melody.

With this graceful step, all the counterattacks by Dachao Beibi were avoided, and the distance between the two sides was immediately shortened to just a few feet.

"Thousands of Changes~"

Lowe gave the final order, and Masked Cat winked at the enemy playfully. As Dachao Beibi tried to launch a final counterattack, the pretty figure in front of him instantly faded into the air and disappeared.

Afterimage...

...As the figure moved, a large piece of petals flew out, followed by the Masked Cat opening its sharp claws. In an instant, the only thing left at the scene was a series of brilliant and sharp flashes.

The myriad changes and the violent combo of Masked Cat all hit Da Chao Beibi at that moment. As I said before, this is not a turn-based game after all. As long as the opponent cannot fight back, you can throw seven or eight skills at it in a row in an instant...

Lowe let Masked Cat pour all its firepower on Da Chao Bei Bi. This attack lasted for more than ten seconds. Even though Da Chao Bei Bi had a strong double defense, he would definitely not be able to withstand seven or eight skills from Masked Cat.

"So... uh..."

When Lowe gave the last order and the Masked Cat's last claw fell, a buzzing sound of metal clashing came from Da Chao Beibi's body, and as a large amount of sparks flew, the Masked Cat's movements froze.

"..."

Lowe was surprised to find that after taking this attack that was theoretically enough to make Dachao Beibi lose a tube of blood on the spot, he had not lost his combat effectiveness.

"…I'm sorry, it was a beautiful blow, but my Oochibei nose has the property of 'hardness'."

"..."

This is another feature that has obviously been revised. In the game, the tough feature means that when the physical strength is full, taking a critical hit will forcibly lock one blood. But here, the tough feature seems to be triggered even if the blood is not full.

As for how to break the hardness property, in the game it can be broken as long as the health is not full, but here...

"Years of polishing can turn fragile graphite into hard diamond. This is the result of my rock Pokémon training. Can your attack... penetrate our final 'bottom line'?"

"...In other words, you must use a skill with a power exceeding a certain value to penetrate the defense?"

Luo Wei understood what Du Juan wanted to express from her words, and Du Juan nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, you are indeed a very good trainer. Yes, it is just as you thought. My Da Chao Beibi's 'hardness' characteristic, after being triggered, can completely resist all skills with a basic power of less than 100..."

"..."

Of course, there was no need for Du Juan to actively explain the weaknesses of her own characteristics here, but after all, it was a Pokémon Gym battle, and since Lowe had already seen through her cards, she certainly didn't mind taking the initiative to explain.

Unfortunately, after thinking about it, Lowe seemed to have no such moves that could be used to penetrate the last bit of defense of Dachao Beibi.

After such a delay, the three little North Koreans are about to regroup. Once they regroup, they can release the electromagnetic shield again.

Previously, Lowe used Lalu's instant movement to break the electromagnetic shield, which was a surprise move. This surprise move can only work once, unexpectedly. Once the opponent becomes alert, it will not be easy to use the same trick again.

Even if Lowe could really use the same trick again to break the electromagnetic shield, he would not be able to break through the last bit of strength of Dachao Beibi.

If Lowe's tactics are surprise moves, then Du Juan's tactics are deadly moves. The characteristic of deadly moves is that they are not so fancy, but they can only be broken by numerical crushing.

In other words, it is the classic "armor stacking" tactic, which simply and simply highlights a numerical value to win. As long as this value cannot be broken, it is impossible to defeat the opponent.

...is the upright and kingly trend!

Of course, on the other hand, Du Juan couldn't defeat Lowe head-on. Dachao Beibi's attack couldn't hurt Masked Cat. Masked Cat could also use her absolute advantage in speed to prevent Du Juan from launching an effective attack on her.

In other words, this has become a situation where neither side can do anything to the other.

“…It’s a draw.”

At this time, Du Juan spoke...

"I have almost used 70% of my strength... You have been able to deal with me to this point, and I still can't do anything to you. This strength is already impressive enough. I admit that you are qualified to take the badge..."

After hearing this, Lowe was stunned for a moment, but looking at the onlookers around him, no one seemed to have any objection.

After all, Lowe's strength is indeed here, enough to convince others. If this is the difficulty of the gym battle under the normal process, Lowe can even win with the help of New Leaf Cat.

However, do we really have to accept a "draw" result in the first gym battle?

While Lowe was thinking, his backpack... suddenly began to emit light...

"what?"

Chapter 42: Ultimate Power

At this point, Du Juan proposed a tie and said that Lowe's performance was good enough and she recognized that Lowe was qualified to take the badge.

The onlookers had no objection to the decision. Although they did not win, Lowe's performance was convincing enough. If someone with such strength was not able to obtain the badge, then the others present would be even less qualified.

However, Lowe was a little conflicted. Logically speaking, he could now tie with gym owners with 70% of their strength, which meant he had already surpassed at least 80% of the trainers.

But even so, he still felt a little conflicted about ending up in a tie in the first gym battle. What's more, the legendary trainer Red, whom Lowe regarded as his idol, already had championship-level combat power at his age.

Moreover, even among all the current champions, he is always in the top three...

Of course, Lowe also knew that he could never be compared with that big guy. Just when he was thinking about whether to just accept the draw, his backpack suddenly burst into light.

"what?"

This sudden change naturally stunned everyone at the scene, including Lowe himself.

Just as he was stunned, the light suddenly flew out of the backpack, split into two and flew towards Lowe and Masked Cat, and disappeared from the two of them in a flash.

Luo Wei's eyes suddenly blurred, and a picture emerged from his mind...

...I only saw a super-large mechanical city that seemed to appear in science fiction movies appearing in front of me. The ground around the city shook and cracked. In the east, south, west and north, four giant figures made of light... broke out of the ground and stood up.

On the bodies of the four giants made of light, totems in the shape of a "rooster," a "bull," a "shark," and a "butterfly" appeared respectively...

The giant who had revealed the totem raised his arms at the same time. In the sky, two rays of light, one golden and one purple, rose into the sky, and at the same time, totems in the shape of the sun and the moon emerged from them...

The four giants and the sun and moon totems occupied all the space within sight. Even though it was just a projection similar to an "illusion", Lowe felt a power far beyond common sense from this picture...

Even so, the one with the most powerful presence at the scene was not the four giants made of light, nor was it the being with the totems of the sun and moon...

Rather, it was the existence between these six figures, who seemed to be confronting the four giants and the sun and moon at the same time...

Lowe couldn't see the figure clearly, he could only see a figure covered by infinite light. However, even though he couldn't see it clearly, a name still popped up in his mind at the first moment...

...The Glorious God!

There was another moment of shock, and the scene in front of him faded away, and his sight returned to the Rock Gym...

Hallucination?

wrong!

Lowe was certain that it was definitely not an illusion, but some powerful force that transcended time and space, resonated with his consciousness, and transmitted some kind of picture to his mind...

In the eyes of the others, they only saw two balls of light coming out of Lowe's backpack, and then disappearing into Lowe and Masked Cat's bodies at the same time...

…Then in the next second, a layer of shining golden flame burst out from Lowe's body, instantly enveloping him.

"what?"

Even though they had seen many strange scenes today, this scene still shocked the onlookers.

Of course, considering that there are indeed many strange and magical powers in this world, it cannot be said to be completely incomprehensible.

But under the influence of this aura, Lowe clearly felt that... something was constantly pouring out of his body, and was eager to find an outlet.

The human body is simply unable to bear this surging force. Lowe felt something with his palm pressed on his chest, and a diamond-shaped crystal appeared in his open palm.

There was no doubt that this was the thing that had just flown out of the backpack. However, now, the originally translucent crystal was quickly stained with a layer of brilliant gold. At the same time, a symbol resembling the letter "Z" seemed to appear in the center...

Of course Lowe knew what this was, and he also knew what he had just seen...

The Ultimate Metropolis, the God of Radiance (Light Reaver), the Gods of the Sun and Moon, the Giant Guardians (the Four Gods of Alola)...

However, the current situation did not allow Lowe to think any more. The golden aura surging from his body almost crushed it. Lalulas, who noticed the abnormality, was anxious and at a loss, but Lowe forced a smile to comfort him.

"It's okay, don't worry~" As he spoke, Lowe clenched the crystal in his hand and pointed his palm at the Masked Meow over there, "... Masked Meow!"

Of course, Masked Cat could also feel the changes in Lowe, and she naturally wanted to immediately put aside the outcome of the game and return to Lowe to check on his condition.

But just when she was about to do so, Lowe's voice made her stop. At that moment, the connection between her as a trainer and Pokémon made her feel something.

At the moment when the emotions of both parties were synchronized, the golden light that continued to surge out of Lowe's body seemed to have found an outlet, and all rushed towards the direction of the Masked Cat in one breath.

Using the purest crystal in his hand as a key, he opened the "passage" leading to a strange space, and the golden light was the energy that filled that strange space...

At this moment, with Lowe's body as the medium, the energy was completely transferred to the Masked Cat...

Right now, right here!

The consciousness of both parties was successfully synchronized, and the whole body of Masked Cat burst out with blazing golden flames. The two of them moved in unison, releasing all their strength synchronously...

Masked Cat raised her head, and with her body as the center, a ray of emerald green light rose up and suddenly spread out in all directions. Wherever the light passed, flowers and green leaves appeared out of thin air, and in an instant a gorgeous sea of ​​flowers spread out in the arena!

The moment this sea of ​​flowers took shape, it turned into a frenzy of flower and leaf storms that swept in all directions...

Both Da Chao Beibi and Xiao Chao Beibi were enveloped by the storm. Even though Xiao Chao Beibi had formed an electromagnetic shield at that moment, the shield was also pierced...

The surging storm hit Da Chao Beibi directly. His seemingly indestructible body, like an immovable rock, shook for a moment, and then fell to the ground with a loud bang...
