The female trainers’ ways of repaying their gratitude are so weird!

As for her best friend Sonia? Lurina had completely forgotten who Yu Sheng's boyfriend was!

"Come on, Yousheng!" She raised her chin, her black-blue hair fluttering in the wind, "Let me see your full strength!"

I can win this battle! I absolutely can!

Seeing Lurina so dashing, the audience instantly boiled over, and cheers swept across the entire arena like a wave.

Yusheng stood across from him, a playful smile on his face. "Oh? So motivated?" He slowly pulled out a Poké Ball and spun it gently between his fingers. "Then I can't let you down."

Lurina is still very strong, at least much stronger than some of the water gymnasium masters from other regions, not to mention that Lurina deliberately chose an armored warrior who could restrain Neoyeom in order to fight against Yusheng.

We must not be careless in this battle.

"New Leaf, it's you!" Yousheng threw the Poké Ball fiercely.

"Meowha!"

New Leaf Meowth landed gently on the ground, sensing the trainer's fighting spirit. Its sharp claws rubbed against each other, making a harsh sound, ready to attack.

The battle is about to break out!

Chapter 53: Intense Water Gym

Yusheng currently only has two Pokémon, so the battle in the Water Boat Arena is a 2v2 one. Lurina doesn't want to outnumber Yusheng. As a gym leader, her job is to guide trainers to become stronger, not just to defeat them.

Lurina: Wait... What if Yusuke asks me to do something intimate later?!

Oh no, if I had known earlier, it would have been 3V3!

No, I have to take Yousheng down right here!

"Armored warriors, attack head-on!" Lulina's fighting spirit reached its peak, and she gave the order without hesitation.

Use a head-on attack with outstanding effect at the very beginning!

"Guso!!" The armored warrior burst out with emerald green insect energy all over his body and rushed towards Xinye Meow at overwhelming speed.

Head-on Strike: A very powerful move, but it can only be successful if used immediately when entering battle.

Under this attack, the armored warrior's speed will reach an extreme speed, and the astonishing speed will even leave an afterimage in the air.

The two Pokémon immediately closed the distance between them, and the distance between New Leaf Meow and Armored Warrior was 2 meters!

This is a Bug-type move, and if it hits, even Yuukatsu's Panchami will be severely damaged.

But Yousheng was not panicked at all.

In the Pokémon world, we have a trick that can easily deal with this situation! It's a trick that super newbies often use!

That’s right! It’s the legendary move!

"Quick... use the bomb on the seeds! Create a storm!"

Yusheng originally wanted to use the legendary "Quick Dodge", but he found that the armored warrior was too fast.

Forget it, I don’t have the fate of a super newbie here!

The armored warrior was about to deliver a fatal head-on blow.

New Leaf let out a "Meow-Ha!" and ejected dozens of seeds from its mouth. The seeds instantly set off a chain reaction of explosions, and the violent blast of air swept up gravel and dust, abruptly interrupting the armored warriors' charge.

"Guso?!" The dust generated directly affected the vision of the two Pokémon, making it impossible to see clearly.

As expected of Yukatsu, he actually used this method to dodge a head-on attack? But...

"Missile Needle!" Lurina quickly changed her moves.

“guguguguso——!”

As the armored warrior moved quickly, countless silver light needles condensed around his body, penetrating the smoke and attacking Xinye Miao directly.

The number of missile needles is sufficient. With this number, Lurina can guarantee that New Leaf Cat will definitely not be able to dodge this move.

The missile needles will be launched before the smoke disappears!

"A flash of lightning!"

"Meow!" Xinye Miao's whole body was surrounded by silver light, and he shuttled through the rain of needles. Yousheng's pupils shrank rapidly - he instantly locked the direction from which the armored warrior's missile needles came.

After all, Armored Warrior isn't a very fast Pokémon, so simply seeing where the smoke is being pierced by the Missile Needle makes it easy to predict where Armored Warrior is headed. Firing while moving is truly a great skill.

"It's right here, New Leaf, rush over!"

But Yousheng took a look at Ding Zhen and determined that he was moving too slowly.

"Meow Ha!!" Xinye Meow, wrapped in a flash of lightning, slammed into the armored warrior's abdomen, pushing him back several meters.

"guso!!"

The armored warrior let out a cry of pain, and a flash of lightning from the Hercules characteristic caused his body to be severely damaged. The New Leaf Cat was also in a suspended state due to the reaction force.

Really strong! But...

"At this distance, New Leaf Cat will definitely not be able to dodge! Armored warrior, use continuous slashes!" Lulina's fingertips trembled, but she immediately suppressed her shock and said sternly.

"Guso!!" The armored warrior's claws were gathered with red insect energy and he rushed forward, but his speed was obviously much slower than before.

The head-on attack is no longer usable, and Armored Warrior is an extremely slow Pokémon.

Even if the two Pokémon are extremely close, it will take a very long time for the Armored Warrior to rush over.

"New Leaf, meow, use the weakened version of Falling Petals! Focus on quantity!"

At the same time, it gives Yusheng and Xinye Miao room to operate.

"Meow, haha!" Suddenly, New Leaf Cat burst into a sea of ​​pink petals. These petals, sharp as knives, slashed countless fine wounds across the armored warrior's body. The sound of shattering shells was incessant.

"It's bad... But, Armored Warrior, use the water flow to break and cut off all the petals!" Lulina gritted her teeth and ordered.

"guso!"

The armored warrior endured the excruciating pain, his claws condensing into long blades of water, and he barely managed to split the storm of petals. Although the water flow split some of the petals, the flying fragments actually formed a visual barrier.

The small New Leaf Cat was directly hidden by the petals, but the large-sized Armored Warrior could not hide at all.

Oh no! Even the falling petals are a trap!

Only then did Lurina truly realize how difficult Yusheng was. Whether the petals were cut off or not, it would cause a severe blow to the armored warrior. Yusheng even took into account the characteristics of the armored warrior - danger avoidance, and did not give the armored warrior a chance to go back and regenerate his strength.

Danger avoidance: When the health is reduced to half, in order to avoid danger, it will retreat back to the same team.

The gym owner cannot retrieve Pokémon here due to certain conditions. To recover a Pokémon's health, they must rely on special abilities or other types of moves. Yusuke used a weakened version of Falling Petals to weaken the armored warrior to the point where he could be killed instantly, without returning to the Poké Ball to recover.

This means... the next move is an instant kill!

"Armored warriors, break the water flow, create a water curtain, retreat quickly!"

Lurina's breathing stagnated, but she adjusted herself in an instant.

The attention is too focused on the battle, and decisions can be made quickly, which is completely different from previous battles.

"guso!!"

The armored warrior clashed his claws fiercely, and the raging water flow split the ground like a blade, raising a surging wall of water in front.

"Surprisingly, you have some interesting techniques, but unfortunately, my New Leaf Cat has already approached the level of an Armored Warrior!"

Yusheng snapped his fingers and smiled brightly.

Pokémon battles are so cool!

"acrobatics!"

"Meow!" The figure of Xinye Miao flashed out from the broken petals, its whole body covered with silver-white flying energy. Its front paws slammed heavily on the wound on the armored warrior's abdomen caused by the flash of lightning with a sound of breaking through the air.

"Gu, guso——!"

The armored warrior flew backwards like a cannonball, his back slamming into the rock wall, and spider-web-like cracks spread wildly on the wall.

The smoke and dust cleared, revealing the armored warrior buried deep in the rubble, his eyes already forming spirals.

Finally, with a loud roar, the armored warrior slid to the ground along with the collapsing rubble.

"Armored Warrior! ...So strong indeed."

Lurina was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, her black-blue hair like the tide fluttering in the wind.

"Come back, armored warrior, you've done well." Her voice was much softer than usual, and there were fine beads of sweat on her brown skin after the fierce battle.

Lurina looked down at her slightly trembling hands.

If it were her in the past, she would not have been able to react so quickly.

But after being instructed by Yousheng, he was able to react to this surprise attack.

Even his eyes slightly followed the armored warrior who was facing the attack head-on.

This is the benefit of guidance. With improved physical fitness, you can react faster than before.

Lurina: Yusheng, you're amazing!

Her gaze drifted unconsciously to Yu Sheng, standing across from her. He stood there with his hands in his pockets, his signature cheerful smile playing on his face, but in Lurina's eyes, that smile inexplicably made her heart beat faster.

Yousheng, he really didn’t lie to me. Not only did he protect me, he also used such a precious secret book on me... He is so nice.

How can I thank him?

Lurina's favorability began to soar!

Currently, Yusheng has the advantage in the battle, but Lurina feels that there is no possibility of losing.

Now I will win!

"Let's turn the arena into the sea! Turtle, Gigantamax!"

Lurina's diving ball expanded several times under the infusion of huge energy, and she threw it out suddenly.

"Gah!" The massive body of the Ultra-Giant Tortoise descended with a thunderous thud, shaking the entire Water Boat Arena. Its black eyes locked onto New Leaf Cat, and its furious roar stirred up a hurricane-like gust of wind, even sending the flags in the audience fluttering.

Chapter 54 What a refreshing battle!

It's actually Gigantamax, not Super Gigantamax!

Yusheng was stunned for a moment, but he immediately figured it out.

You should know that the Gigantamax Turtle's move is the Gigantamax Rock Formation.

Giga Rock Waiting: Attacks the target, dealing damage, and scatters sharp rocks onto the opponent's field, causing the swapped Pokémon to take 1/8 of its full HP in damage.

That's too bad! Compared to our noble weather-opening giant water flow, it's hard to compare~

Want to know what rainy days are? It's equivalent to increasing your water-type moves by 1.5 times!

If Yu wins, I would also recommend Lurina's Gigantamax Turtle.

The problem is that Tortoise is Water + Rock, and is 4 times stronger than Leafeater, which is very disadvantageous for Lurina!

Yusheng: You actually sent out the Tortoise in this situation? Lurina, you deserve my admiration!

Quadruple restraint, even if Yu Sheng pays tribute to the master of reverse-attribute Pokémon, he can't do it.

At this time, Lurina folded her arms and stared at the front with a serious look on her face.

Lurina: I'm done. I sent out my trump card with such momentum that I completely forgot about being quadruple countered...

Lurina was so embarrassed that she had no way to vent.

"New Leaf, meow, seed bomb!" "Meowha!"

As soon as Yousheng gave the order, Xinye Cat jumped up and sprayed dozens of seed bombs from its mouth.

"Ultra-large water flow!" Lurina immediately followed.

“Gamu!!” The Devouring Turtle opened its huge mouth like the abyss, and a super-giant water cannon that was big enough to swallow the entire venue exploded.

The seed bomb collided with the huge water flow, causing a series of explosions. The water waves were blown through and the shock wave hit the body of the violent turtle directly, causing it to howl in pain and take a step back.

"Gah, Gah!"

"Crack-!"

At this moment, the effect of the massive water flow caused heavy rain to pour down throughout the arena, and Yusheng and Lurina were instantly soaked.

But Lurina didn't care at all, a fighting smile appeared on her face: "Maximum Dragon Knight!!"
