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

A dark figure flipped into the audience, a guy wearing a black robe and hiding his face.

However, once he stepped onto the platform opposite Luo Ke, he casually tossed the black robe aside, revealing his hidden form.

Short black hair fluttered in the wind, beneath which lay a face that was sure to leave a lasting impression.

He was rather thin, with a pointed nose, a pointed chin, and even his ears were more pointed than normal.

The first time you see his face, it's easy to think of goblins or similar creatures from fantasy works. But if you look closely, you'll find that his face has no wrinkles at all; instead, it's very smooth, clean, and not ugly at all. In fact, it's quite handsome.

However, after your initial surprise, you'll find that even though he's about 1.8 meters tall, he still gives you the impression of a goblin.

It can be said to be very distinctive.

"Luo Ke, my name is Zhao E, just like that lady. One-on-one, I also want to challenge your strongest one... it's called Mewtwo, right? That's it, ace against ace, one game to decide the winner!"

Hearing him say that, Luo Ke nodded slightly.

"Okay."

He readily agreed, and Mewtwo, who was on the field at that moment, regained his footing and looked at the other side.

Neither of them recognized Zhao E, but some people in the audience did.

"Zhao E, so it was him, the one with the three-headed dragon!"

"I remember he used his Hydreigon to completely shut down his opponent's Alakazam at the tournament held in North America a while ago. No wonder he dares to go out there now!"

"Hiss—I remember now, this guy's hybrid Hydreigon has faced many Psychic-type Pokémon, and he hasn't lost a single match in this kind of battle... Mr. Rocco is going to have a tough time now!"

Through the dissemination of information among the audience, many people have come to understand the current situation.

However, no one called Zhao E despicable.

Because that's the rule Roco proposed: once an arena is set up, as long as it's within the allotted time, whether you use prepared tactics and rules, utilize attributes and abilities, or even challenge Roco's Pokémon when it's weak... it's not against the rules!

These rules are so harsh on the defending side.

That's why people hold Luo Ke in high regard for daring to set up such a challenge.

Therefore... the best way to prove the champion's strength is to successfully defeat all the challengers.

Luo Ke may not have thought that way.

But that's exactly what he's doing.

With his hearing, he certainly wouldn't miss any information transmitted from the audience, but he was only curious about Zhao E's hybrid Hydreigon. Apart from that, he showed no sign of tension and even asked questions with a smile through his mental link with Mewtwo.

"Mewtwo, they think you're going to be completely shut down~"

Upon receiving Rocco's voice, Mewtwo showed no annoyance whatsoever. Just like Rocco, it looked at the other side with a hint of curiosity.

"If the other side can really put pressure on me, then I'd be more than happy to!"

"The opponents I encountered before were not strong enough, and they couldn't help me grow any further."

Rocco responded to Mewtwo's idea with a smile.

"With your power, most beings in this world can't put any pressure on you, right? But even if you're not strong enough, the ingenious ideas of many trainers might still bring you some surprises."

"This is only the first day of the arena, and the three-headed dragon has already arrived. There are still three weeks to go. While helping you get familiar with and adapt to the battle, you should also be able to see a lot of interesting ideas."

"That's it..."

Upon learning that Rocco was thinking this way, Mewtwo understood why Rocco would set up this arena match even if he didn't eat lunch.

In this case...

"I understand. Let me... no, let us witness everything that is about to happen together!"

"it is good."

Luo Ke and Mewtwo were chatting leisurely, while Zhao E was carefully watching Luo Ke opposite him, confirming all his reactions.

He heard all the discussions coming from the audience, so it was impossible for Luo Ke not to have heard them.

But the fearsome reputation of this three-headed dragon didn't intimidate Rocco at all... But that's fine, the stronger Rocco is, the stronger I'll seem after I win the match!

"Come out, three evil dragons!"

Zhao E laughed as he opened the Poké Ball.

As a red light exploded in the arena, Rocco and Mewtwo saw the true form of Hydreigon!

The torso is no different from that of a normal three-headed dragon, but the wings on its back are significantly wider and larger than those of a normal three-headed dragon.

What's most 'strange' about it is its three heads.

Unlike the usual three-headed dragon, its three heads are longer and flatter—and there is no petal-like structure behind the three heads, or rather, the structure extends out completely, enveloping the three heads entirely, and covering them with black fur.

'roar--!'

As soon as these three Hydreigon appeared, they saw Mewtwo opposite them. They even ignored the pressure from Mewtwo's ability and roared, ready to attack!

Just then, the announcement of mechanization rang out.

The match begins.

'Roar! '

Without even needing Zhao E's command, the three heads of the three-headed dragon simultaneously aimed at Mewtwo, opened their mouths, and unleashed three special moves!

Three consecutive strikes of evil energy!

The three-headed dragon may appear insane and irrational, but it is actually highly intelligent; it just uses all its intelligence for destruction.

So when it learned from Zhao Er that Mewtwo was a pure Psychic type before it went into battle, it would choose the move that would maximize its advantage over the opponent when it attacked!

Three consecutive attacks compressed into murky beams of light, and then Hydreigon itself flapped its wings under the cover of its special move, moving closer to Mewtwo!

If any one of these three attacks hits Mewtwo, it will immediately follow up with Malicious Pursuit, then Crunch, and after biting, it will follow up with Dark Pulse!

Destruction, destruction! We must destroy with all our might!

As for Mewtwo's counterattack...

It doesn't care!

If the attack comes from the front, and it's a move of another element, then it will respond with the same attack!

If it's an invisible and intangible Psychic-type move that's difficult for ordinary Pokémon to defend against... then it's just a waste of effort.

It had seen psychic-type Pokémon that were very confident in their immense mental power.

It had seen Psychic-type Pokémon that could use the rare move Miracle Eye.

But their special tricks still didn't work!

So this time it's the same. The opponent is a Psychic-type Pokémon, so even if it is stronger in terms of pure strength, it will never be its match!

......

40. This is the power of God (2)

What is the principle behind the type advantage/disadvantage between Pokémon?

If it's a game, then this is something you don't need to understand, and there's nowhere for you to study it. But in reality, for trainers with a certain level of skill, this is something they absolutely need to know.

After realizing the huge difference between reality and the game, this was the first lesson Luo Ke learned on his own.

The principle lies in attribute energy!

The elemental energy of Pokémon is a very complex thing. Various types of elemental energy interact with each other, and Pokémon that are naturally suited to these energies will also be affected by them.

This explains why certain special moves with specific attributes can be particularly difficult for them to use, or have poor effects.

Luo Ke can only learn special moves through the system; he can't learn them on his own. He guesses that the reason is that he wasn't affected by attribute energy, thus having 'no attributes'.

In this situation, the advanced part comes next.

That is, 'immunity'!

There are two types of immunity. One is physical immunity, typically Ground-type immunity to Electric-type. This is because the effects of Ground-type energy on a Pokémon's body can transmit Electric-type energy.

The second type is related to energy. A typical example is that Dark-type is immune to Psychic-type. Dark-type energy is very repulsive to Psychic-type energy and mental energy. So when a Psychic-type move comes at you, you can use this characteristic to deflect the Psychic-type move and render it ineffective.

In the game, this immunity is absolute.

However, in reality, the situation is complex, and it is impossible to have absolutely perfect immunity.

Therefore, if a Psychic-type Pokémon is far stronger than a Dark-type Pokémon, then this rejection might not be able to push away the Psychic-type's special move, but instead push the Pokémon away itself.

This could result in physical injury from a fall or collision.

For example, the Eye of Miracles!

This rare move, once used, can reveal the opponent's true nature, rendering their evasion boosts ineffective and allowing the Pokémon to clearly see their energy flow. Therefore, if the opponent's Dark-type energy shows even the slightest weakness, the Pokémon using Miracle Eye will seize the opportunity and strike that weakness with a Psychic-type move!

but...

My three dragons are different!

Zhao E was quite confident.

Because a "variant" is a Pokémon that is different from other Pokémon, and may even have some special abilities—in the game, that would be a bug, something that even your friends wouldn't give you.

For example, Alice's succubus can collect the power of laughter, and King's Tyranitar can directly manipulate sandstorms.

It's hard to say whether Roco's Victini is some kind of electric flying squirrel variant.

The unique feature of Zhao E, this three-headed evil dragon variant, lies in its evil attribute energy.

Its evil attribute energy can absorb supernatural attribute energy!

In other words, when attacked by a psychic-type move, it can absorb a portion of the move to increase or restore its own power, while the remaining portion, which is composed of mental energy, needs to be rejected.

Under such circumstances, with its Champion-level strength, even the best moves of Psychic-type Pokémon at the Champion level cannot break through its Dark-type energy!

Because of this characteristic, Hydreigon has a considerable amount of evil energy within its body!

It was not afraid of being consumed at all; at the very beginning of the battle, its entire body was covered with extremely dense evil attribute energy.

Then it's better if you don't use the Eye of Miracles. Once you use it, it's only good for facing this terror, and then it's useless.

This is Zhao E's source of confidence.

This is also the reason why Hydreigon has chosen this offensive strategy.

But will this work on Mewtwo?

Ah...

"Mewtwo, do you need me to use my Aura to help you fire a Wave Missile?"

Loko conveyed this message to Mewtwo with a smile, but Mewtwo decisively refused.

Mewtwo just used a psychic attack to test Hydreigon's special characteristics when facing it.

But... that's far from enough to put pressure on it.

It's just a bit novel at most.

So when Mewtwo saw the three Dark Pulse attacks coming towards it, it remained motionless, just like when it faced Pikachu before.

This situation was incomprehensible to both Zhao E and the other viewers.

After all, this is different from Pikachu. It shouldn't be so confident in terms of power or attributes!

But what good is confidence?

boom!

Hydreigon's three Dark Pulse attacks, upon reaching Mewtwo, stopped abruptly, just like Pikachu's attack, creating only ripples in the air and having no other effect.

Can it absorb superhuman energy?

Then I won't use it!

Mewtwo's psychic energy is inherently materialized, and its quantity is terrifyingly large!

Just like invisible giant hands.

Blocking the evil energy wave was easy, and attacking the three-headed dragon... was just as easy!

Protected by its mental energy, Mewtwo raised its hand towards Hydreigon.

Previously, when facing Pikachu, it only tapped lightly, but when facing this Hydreigon, Mewtwo clenched its three fingers together.
