Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

Upon seeing this, Masked Cat's pupils contracted, and while focusing intently, he decisively detonated the flower bomb!

A myriad of variations!

Green pollen carried the petals and burst open.

But before it could even catch its breath, Ditto's fist pierced the pollen and reached it.

This scene was beyond Masked Cat's expectations.

But it also realized that this method of obscuring vision was useless against the enemy in front of it!

So it decisively lashed out with its claws as it retreated!

Sharpen your claws!

The first two attacks were both to weaken Ditto's punching power and to amplify its own power with its special move.

And the third time...

While retreating, Magic Mask Cat steadied itself, found a good point of leverage, and decisively twisted its waist to grab out with its claws!

Although it looks very slender, strength is its forte!

And—it's a case of grafting!

It used its Dark-type move, which utilizes the opponent's power to attack, and with its Dark-type STAB boost, Meowth felt it had no reason to lose to Ditto!

Its idea makes some sense.

The "Transplant" technique did indeed deflect some of Ditto's power, but Ditto, noticing this, instantly widened its eyes. As Normal-type energy gathered in its fist, its muscles began to twist, and some of its bones decisively changed. Through this martial arts technique, Ditto twisted back the power that had been transferred by the "Transplant" technique!

Snapped!

Without giving it any time to react, while the Magic Masked Cat was still thinking that it could win with this attack, Ditto's fist had already slammed into its face!

......

20. You're just adding random Pokémon to your team, aren't you?

Necrozma, of course, knew all the forbidden techniques practiced by Randyll and his abandoned monkey.

Or rather, for those martial arts that are not dangerous, it only mastered a part of the interesting, exquisite, or outstanding ones, but for those that are risky, it recorded every single one of them and even studied how to reduce the risk.

It needs to become even more proficient in these 'forbidden techniques'.

So when Ditto was determined to become stronger and asked Necrozma to teach him these 'forbidden techniques', Necrozma, after consulting with Rocco and his other companions, taught him!

There are two reasons why it would do this.

Firstly, under Luo Ke's leadership, the team members respected and trusted each other's decisions.

Secondly, Ditto's true form is not Loko; it's a transformation. So if any part of it malfunctions, it can simply revert to its original form.

All that's needed is the ability to endure pain and an extremely proficient mastery of transformation techniques.

The former is nothing compared to Ditto's determination.

The latter... is mainly divided into two parts: mindset and technique.

In terms of mentality, Victini initially helped Ditto solve the problem of being nervous when transforming. Later, Ditto participated in several major events with the Dark Heroes in the form of a mask. These experiences made Ditto's transformation quite stable, with virtually no possibility of being disturbed and returning to its original form.

As for the technology... if it were to become another Pokémon, even its most proficient Water-type Pokémon, it would be impossible for it to achieve such subtle and intricate changes.

But Luo Ke's transformation is different!

Ditto has been working hard to train Rocco to transform ever since the day it met him. When it's with Rocco, it imitates whatever Rocco does.

In addition, martial arts training is essentially a process of getting familiar with the body, developing the body, and refining the body.

With so many elements combined, Ditto has reached this standard in terms of the technology of transforming into Loko.

So...

It has also completed the 'forbidden techniques' that the Abandoned Monkey and Landau mastered!

This is the effort it has put in to gain a foothold in this team!

boom!

One punch stunned Masked Cat, and then Ditto's other fist struck its head from below, sending its slender body flying off the ground!

At this distance, the Ditto, a master of martial arts, can aim every move at vital points!

With its current stats, it only took two punches to make Masked Cat's vision go black.

However, this made Masked Cat grit its teeth tightly!

These kinds of elves are, without a doubt, the kind of creatures with a strong sense of self-esteem, a love of showing off, and delicate emotions.

Its pride wouldn't allow it to be so ugly, so quickly defeated!

But Masked Meow wasn't stupid. Seeing that Ditto had already thrown its third punch, it understood that it had no chance of winning if it tried to out-power Ditto. At the same time, in its current state, it couldn't escape Ditto's extremely terrifying perception.

Snapped!

Ditto's third punch landed on Masked Cat's abdomen, knocking it into a bent-over position mid-air.

But then Masked Cat used both paws to slap Ditto's forearm, while giving Ningya a look.

Make a rapid turnback!

Having taken the third punch, its condition had deteriorated considerably, but fortunately, it had not lost its ability to fight, and its rapid return ability had also been activated.

This attack failed to inflict significant damage on Ditto, but the Bug-type energy gathered on Meowth pulled it towards Ningya's location!

Ningya had already picked up the Poké Ball for the Masked Cat and the Poké Ball for the next Pokémon, just waiting for the Masked Cat to return.

At this moment, Masked Meow looked at Ditto on the ground. Even though he was in a sorry state, he still had a smile on his face, just like a phantom thief who had successfully escaped.

But... is it really possible to escape?

'Well!'

Ditto stomped one foot on the ground, gathering a large amount of Aura power in its hand, and like throwing a baseball, it directly hurled the Aura Sphere at Masked Meow in mid-air!

Masked Cat was not surprised by this situation.

It was still smiling, and it revealed its final preparations.

Hold on!

Although it is in a bad state now, and its protective abilities have been affected, it is still an Elite Four level Pokémon, not one that has just entered the Elite Four level.

It's just a wave missile, I can just block it!

Snapped!

Just as Masked Meow was thinking this, Ditto's highly compressed Aura Sphere shattered its Protect without any hindrance and blasted directly into its body!

The Bug-type energy on Masked Cat was instantly dispelled, and it was too weak to fall. It tried several times but could not move its body and could only close its eyes in resentment.

Magical Masked Cat has lost its ability to fight!

Faced with this scene, Ningya's expression was solemn, but she still recalled the Masked Meow without the slightest hesitation and released the third Pokémon!

Ditto, which seemed to have taken down two Pokémon without much effort, was actually quite serious at this moment.

Because it has no more cards to play at this moment.

It has already used a Z-Move once. Even if Roko can still use the Z-Ring to activate a Z-Crystal from him, Ditto itself cannot withstand a second Z-Move.

Roco's Z-Move barrage is a technique that each Pokémon can use once per battle.

If you wanted a Pokémon to spam Z-Moves indefinitely... well, Necrozma could do that if it could move, consuming some energy.

Other spirits won't work.

The Aura Power that Rocco gave it was used up in that attack, which is why it was able to shatter Masked Meow's Guardian without any hindrance.

Although Rocco has been working to restore his waveguide power, it will be impossible for him to create a champion-level wave missile in the short term.

At the same time, the power of the waveguide cannot be restored by Victini, just like the light of Necrozma.

Rather than supplying it with the Aura, Ditto thought it better to let Loco keep the power and use it for enhancement.

In this situation, the battle to come will depend on its raw strength!

Ditto calculated that there were still three opponents left, and its task was to defeat all three!

It thought this way, and Rocco, who could understand its emotions through resonance, also supported it.

So as Luo Ke watched the red light land, he also pondered Ning Ya's tactics and what kind of Pokémon she would send out this time.

Grass-type...

A gorilla? A shield mushroom?

These two were the first things that came to mind, and then he started thinking about even more elves.

However, once the red light faded, an elf that completely shattered Rocco's expectations and made him widen his eyes slightly appeared in his field of vision.

The ears are covered in red, maple-leaf-like down, and the animal is holding a twig...

It's not that Roco doesn't recognize this elf.

But...

This Pokémon, named Fiery Red Fox, is a Fire/Psychic type Pokémon!

......

21. This is a victory for martial arts!

'Woo-ku--'

As soon as the Fiery Red Fox appeared, it drew a circle of fire in front of itself with the branch that looked like a magic wand. Then, just like when Masked Cat appeared before, a huge amount of fire energy spread out in all directions like ripples, covering the entire grassy field!

Unlike before when it only made the grassy area grow a little more lush, this time the entire area was ablaze, with flames forming a sea that burned everything in its path. Along with it came a towering pillar of fire, like a volcanic eruption, which burst directly at Ditto's feet!

Seeing this, Luo Ke understood what kind of move it was.

Previously, Masked Cat used the Oath of Grass, but now the Demon Flame Red Fox is using the Oath of Fire!

These oath-type moves can be combined and released in the game to create a fusion effect. I never thought that this method could be used to create a collaboration in real life.

And that's not all...

As the Grass Oath and Fire Oath merged and were released, the grassy field was ignited, turning the entire field into a sea of ​​fire, and the final power of the Grass Oath was unleashed.

It stimulated the last part of the grassy field to rise from the ground and transform into huge branches.

However, the vitality in these branches seems to have been absorbed by something, or perhaps they are not developing properly in this place. In any case, they are all in a very flammable state!

So, Ningya began to dance on the high platform.

The power of Fire Z erupted from her and directly entered the body of the fiery red fox on the field!

Super powerful explosive bomb!

'Uku!'

Amidst the towering flames rising from the withered trees, the Crimson Demon Fox cried out. Instead of releasing its attack normally, a burst of flames exploded like a bomb in the sea of ​​fire, filling the entire interior of the protective barrier!

At the same time, Luo Ke also sensed it using his waveguide power.

With the explosive power of this move, the Fiery Red Fox followed up with Sunny Day, taking control of the weather. Ning Ya's command was given at this moment.

"Fire Fox, activate Trick Space!"

Previously, Masked Cat had already tested Ditto's speed, so now that Ditto has been provoked and its Phantom Tactics are restricted, there is no reason not to activate Trick Room.

Under Ning Ya's command, although all that could be seen looking into the arena from the high platform was flames, Luo Ke's aura power still resonated with the actions of the Demon Fire Red Fox.

After doing all this, it silently guarded a position to prevent Ditto from launching a surprise attack, while also using its mental power to manipulate flames to launch an attack on Ditto!

At this moment, Ning Ya looked at Luo Ke and slowly spoke.

"Although we lost two Pokémon, the straw pile tactic was finally completed."

"Luo Ke, you do have talent and potential, but you haven't been involved in Pokémon battles for long enough. Don't think that just because I'm the Grass-type Elite Four member, my team only has Grass-type Pokémon."

Upon hearing Ning Ya's words, Luo Ke pondered for a moment.

Grass pile tactic... I see. It refers to the tactic of piling up plants created by some of the moves of Grass-type Pokémon and then setting them on fire to create this kind of scene.
