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

It wasn't his Snorlax, but—Eevee!

Seeing this Pokémon, Roco, was a bit of a surprise. After all, Silver's Eevee wasn't any kind of evolved form, but rather its initial form. Not many people would use this kind of Pokémon in similar competitions!

But Luo Ke was, after all, a Pocket Player, so he didn't underestimate his opponent.

Who knows if this is a variant?

Besides, it might be a partner like Eevee, who knows?

So Luo Ke remained silent without saying anything.

Yin was the same, looking down at the arena, burying half his face in the scarf he always wore, his eyes partially covered by his long bangs, looking as somber as if he were in prison.

The match begins!

Just then, a mechanical announcement rang out, and without any further instructions, Ditto and Eevee started moving at the same time!

In its Loko form, Ditto's attacks are always wide-ranging and powerful.

So when facing Eevee, it clenched its fist, took a step forward, and while etching its footprints one after another into the arena, it also crushed the small Eevee with the momentum of a rolling boulder!

'Buyi—'

Faced with the charging Ditto, Eevee lowered its body and let out a cute, defiant cry.

Then... a change occurred in it!

Just like an unstable gene, Eevee's body twisted instantly, then turned black, its ears stretched out, and it instantly transformed into the appearance of Umbreon!

This greatly enhanced its defense and stamina, allowing it to unleash its power and collide with Ditto's fist!

The moment they made contact, the characteristics of Umbreon recorded in the Pokédex were revealed.

That's not a secret weapon.

It simply sprays venom from its pores!

The venom first got onto Ditto's fist, and then it actively sprayed into its eyes!

Faced with this attack, Ditto decisively raised its other hand to block the venom.

As for the toxins...

Perhaps a Poison-type Pokémon that is particularly skilled at this move might succeed, but the amount of poison from Umbreon is something that Ditto in its Roko form can easily eliminate with a Secret Technique.

Umbreon didn't think this move would have any damaging effect; it only slowed down Ditto's charge and incidentally blocked its vision.

That's enough time for it to transform again!

It was the same twisting motion again, but this time Eevee's fur froze and turned pale blue.

Its body temperature also dropped instantly.

This time it turned into Glaceon!

The reason is simple: poison, paralysis, and burns—these methods that act directly on the body may not be effective against Ditto, but freezing is different. If controlled well, freezing can completely create an effect by freezing the area around the individual.

Even if the other party breaks free very quickly, it's okay to stop them for a moment.

'Boo!'

Therefore, Glaceon, in conjunction with its body temperature drop, instantly generates a visible chill.

Freeze-drying!

After this cold air appeared, the venom that Umbreon had sprayed out earlier instantly solidified!

In an instant, Ditto was frozen in purple ice crystals, and Glaceon crashed into the ice crystals at the same time, sending them flying, and then switched forms again!

This time it's Yeezy!

Instead of choosing a powerful special move, it sowed the seeds after the transformation was over.

Parasitic seeds!

It had a good grasp of the situation. Just after Ditto shattered the ice crystal from the inside, the seed passed through the broken ice and arrived in front of it!

bingo!

The Leech Seed hit Ditto head-on, and then Yeevee felt the energy returning from the seed!

For Ditto at this moment, the amount of energy absorbed is not much, but for Yeevee, the amount of energy absorbed is considerable.

In that case, it and Silver are confident that they can defeat Ditto through a war of attrition without a direct confrontation!

That's what they think.

But Ditto sensed its own condition, glanced at Eevee, and pursed its lips.

Even secret martial arts aren't a panacea; there's really no way to get rid of the seeds that have taken root in his body.

Given this tactical choice, Ditto could guess the opponent's intentions.

In the past, it might have been a real hassle, but now... things are different!

Instead of launching another attack, Ditto took a step forward and struck a pose in front of Ruozong and Jiang Chuan's incredibly surprised gazes!

This is Ditto's trump card that it has been preparing all this time!

That's its signature move!

The source of its confidence!

Transform!

As Ditto moved, a jet-black Prism Belt appeared around its waist, and then it grabbed a Poké Ball and immediately inserted it into the belt!

A terrifying energy erupted within Ditto as the armor clad it, and in that instant, Yeev felt as if its seed had completely severed its connection with itself.

The Ditto in front of it had transformed from its Loko form into a new form that made its entire body stiff just by looking at it from afar.

Dark Hero Form!

......

26. Luo Ke vs. Yin (2)

"How can this be!?"

Having witnessed the power of the Dark Hero, Jiang Chuan, sitting in the audience, exclaimed in surprise.

Ruozong was equally surprised.

"...The transformation that originally required the entire team to complete was created by Ditto on its own."

"Either the strength is incomplete, or there must be some kind of restriction."

His voice was very soft, otherwise if Ditto had heard it, it would probably have exclaimed something like, "Well!"

Because what Ruozong said is right.

When Ditto enters this form, it cannot fully manifest the power of the Dark Hero, and there are also limitations on this aspect.

Even so, this move is still quite powerful.

Because Ditto's transformation involves adjusting and reorganizing its cellular structure, the legendary Phantom Tactics of Rocco have amazed so many people, yet no one has been able to replicate them.

After all, adjusting cell structure doesn't allow for the kind of transformation that's as easy as one might imagine.

But Ditto can not only transform, it has also mastered a secret martial art!

This technique, which greatly enhances the body's control and even allows for the adjustment of internal organs, would, once mastered by Ditto, significantly increase its transformation abilities due to the unique characteristics of Ditto's experience.

Once its transformation ability is enhanced, Ditto, which is part of the Dark Hero and can resonate with the Loco Aura, will be able to use the Aura to perceive the Dark Hero as a whole, and gradually adjust the cellular structure to allow it to become what it is now.

Even in its current form, Necrozma's 'light,' Victini's infinite energy, and Mewtwo's materialized psychic power are things it still cannot replicate.

but...

At the cost of consuming a lot of stamina, Ditto has now truly replicated some of the stats of Jet Heroes!

Mental strength, internal energy, and strength, speed, and defense stats!

If it were to unleash its full power, it would only be able to remain active for a few minutes given its current strength.

So in these few minutes—I'm going to get to the bottom of this!

Having completed its transformation, Ditto drew its replica of the Fairy King Sword, gripped the hilt with both hands, twisted its waist and took a step, instantly rushing towards Eevee!

This sudden burst of speed made Ye Yibu's eyes widen, and he decisively used Guard!

Then, under the protection of Protect, it transforms into Umbreon, which is more comprehensive in terms of defense.

Ditto, facing Eevee's Protect, unleashed a second and a third attack after its first hit!

There is practically no solution to counter its defense, but the speed of its three slashes in an instant, and the power carried by those three slashes, can be considered a 'solution'.

Snapped!

In a single instant, just as Eevee completed its transformation, its Protect ability was shattered.

Then the Fairy King's Sword, wielded by Ditto, decisively slashed down towards its head!

Holding your ground against such an attack is not an option.

Losses are inevitable, so—let's be bolder!

'Boo!'

Faced with Ditto's overwhelming strength, Umbreon's gaze hardened.

It used its feet to propel itself into the sword that Ditto was slashing down.

Risk your life and clash!

At the same time, its gaze locked onto Ditto.

Round eyes!

And after attacking and weakening Ditto's power, the markings on Umbreon's body lit up.

moonlight!

It's a sunny day now, so this move can greatly heal Umbreon's injuries. This is the solution Umbreon has chosen to deal with Ditto!

Like Wakamune, Gin also saw the problems with Ditto's form.

Therefore, 'delaying' is a rather clever tactic.

Can...

Can we hold them off?

No way.

Snapped!

The Round Pupil special move directly affects the Prism Armor, because this part of the Dark Hero is essentially an independent spirit, so even the armor can withstand the opponent's weakening on its own.

Ditto also replicated this characteristic, and its signature move, Round Eye, was completely blocked by Prism Armor!

So even if Umbreon uses a move like Sacrifice, it will still be cut down by this sword!

And you want to use moonlight for treatment?

That's only if your healing speed can keep up with the rate at which you're damaged!

bass--

Before Umbreon could even hit the ground after being struck by the first sword, Ditto, just like it had forcibly cut through Protect before, with its current stats, gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands and used its waist and legs to exert force, and in such a short time, it struck Umbreon with four more swords!

The healing effects of the moonlight were only just beginning to reach it.

And because of these five attacks, it has distanced itself from Ditto.

This situation relieved Eevee, whose moon had darkened in front of him.

But in that instant of relaxation, Ditto had already rushed in front of it and, using the momentum of its charge, thrust out Fairy King's Sword, hitting it in the chest and slamming it against the protective barrier!

Only then did the moonlight fall upon it.

But what appeared even before the moonlight was the blessing from the world!

Eevee is unable to fight!

Meanwhile, Ditto returned to Rocco's arena, conserving his energy while leaning on Fairy King's Sword.
