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

Her control over the mist is not as flexible as Gengar's, but what she needs to do is simple: accumulate the mist on their side.

Although she didn't expect that Luo Ke had somehow managed to see the spiritual mist and dispel most of it, the remaining portion was still sufficient in quantity.

That's why she brought Gengar back, allowing Safi'jiiva, which had already created enough spirit mist, to play its final role.

Then...

Quickly switch to Windball to maintain the Spirit Mist, then use Big Bang to push the Spirit Mist out, so that Loko's Ditto and Twin Blades are in the Spirit Mist while defending against Big Bang.

Once those two withdraw their guard, they will soon be corroded by the spiritual mist!

However, because Gengar's condition was worse than she had expected, Bai Youyou decided to make another move, controlling the position of the thrown Pokémon so that the two of them would focus their attacks on each other!

As for why we didn't focus our attacks on Ditto but instead focused on Fairy King Sword...

Isn't that simple?

From Bai Youyou's perspective, Ditto is holding one of the two swords in its scabbards, which is equivalent to having two Pokémon, while the other scabbard is just Ditto itself. If this isn't a live target, what is?

Take care of this first, and we can stop Ditto from switching swords.

At the same time, the resolution of this issue also affects the other dual-sword sheath.

Ditto and the single sword with dual sheaths will be eliminated more quickly under the mist, and when Roko switches on the remaining two, although Gengar and Chandelure are not at full strength, the field is on her side with the mist already spread, so it can't even be considered a disadvantage.

but...

The Fairy King's sword is not drawn; it's not holding back its power to wait for Ditto to switch swords!

Rather, they never even considered making a move.

Although it was part of the team, the Twin Sheaths had no intention of relying on it, so Roco respected the Twin Sheaths' decision and didn't ask anything of it, as long as it could protect the Twin Sheaths' incomplete shield, that was enough.

So...

Why did you provoke it?

In response to Gengar's Dark Pulse, Chandelure unleashed a Flamethrower, and a phantom image of a proud wolf's head appeared on Fairy King's Sword.

"Ouch—"

The Unyielding Sword!

bass--

With that howl, the Fairy King's sword was drawn swiftly, unleashing a sword light that could pierce through anything.

It flew towards the nearest Gengar, and Swords Dance was a move that it could use better, more powerfully, and more domineeringly than Dual Blades!

If the sword dance used by Dual Scabbard against Noisy Dragon when it was still a single scabbard was more like that of an agile swordsman, then the sword dance used by Fairy King's Sword is like the advance of a monarch.

Instead of using Sword Dance to dodge the attacks, it intensified its movements, unleashing a Dark Pulse with one sword strike and a Flame Jet with the next, crushing Gengar with an unstoppable force!

It had clearly grown a size larger at this moment, and instead of using any special moves, it simply slashed at Gengar.

But even with such an ordinary strike, Gengar was completely unable to move in the face of this sword's power. It could only watch helplessly as its opponent attacked, unable to muster any will to resist.

Faced with this situation, the red light fell upon it.

It wasn't that it did anything, but Bai Youyou took it back when she saw things weren't going well.

Gengar, exit the battle.

The Fairy King's Sword's single eye glanced at Bai Youyou, then slowly closed, withdrew its power, and returned to its sheath.

It actually considers itself a member of this team.

If faced with a powerful enemy, it wouldn't mind lending a hand; after all, it can't just eat someone else's food for nothing.

But facing the Pokémon that Bai Youyou has now sent out...

Ditto and dual scabbards are more than enough.

This is their battle, so let it be.

Everyone on Rocco's team understood what it meant, so Ditto and Dual Blades immediately set their sights on Chandelure.

Bai Youyou saw the sword being sheathed. Although she thought that this strange dual-sword sheath should have one sword that couldn't be used casually, but could unleash terrifying power when drawn, and she understood that Gengar had been forced to retreat, so even if the spirit mist covered the entire field, her side was in a completely disadvantageous position, she still had no intention of admitting defeat.

His attention was heightened again, and his mind raced as he thought about how to make the chandelier spirit fight four opponents at once!

But she wasn't in a hurry; the other person, on the contrary, was.

"Luo Ke, don't forget our plan!"

This person is Tian Sui.

Her mindset while watching this match went from initially distrusting Luo Ke, to surprise, to delight, and now... terror!

She feared that Luo Ke had already forgotten their plan.

After all, if the fight continues, Rocco will win. But they haven't even used their Z-Moves yet. If they win like this, Rocco will get the badge, but their plan will have failed!

However, Tian Sui didn't tell Luo Ke to finish with a Z-Move. Even though she was a little anxious, she only reminded Luo Ke to make sure he didn't forget.

That concludes her reminder.

After all, she wasn't a trainer. She knew about the Mist tactics, but she wasn't sure about the specific situation on the field and didn't know the extent to which the Mist had eroded her.

What if Luo Ke hasn't forgotten that the situation doesn't allow it because of the spiritual mist?

Although she felt that the possibility was one in ten thousand, what if it was possible?

Luo Ke felt a bit helpless after hearing her reminder. He hadn't considered the possibility of the Fairy King's Sword making a move; at most, he thought it might draw some fire.

Therefore, his original plan to finish the fight with two Z-Moves was no longer feasible.

But the mist had already spread across the arena and was even beginning to erode Ditto and the Twin Blades. Who knows what Bai Youyou had melted into the mist? So it was indeed time to finish the battle quickly.

"Use Ghost Z!"

Following Rocco's command, the Ghost Z, carried by the dual scabbards, unleashed its power, covering its entire body.

The Fairy King's Sword opened its eyes again, but instead of attacking again, it actively guided the power, gathering it all into the twin scabbards.

Ditto, in the form of Rocco, held the sword horizontally, and beneath it, shadows began to spread like liquid.

However, unlike the normal Temptation of Endless Night, the shadow did not spread to the Chandelier Spirit. Instead, countless black powers emerged from it and surged into the body of the twin scabbards. Ditto also gripped the hilts with both hands, assuming a sword-wielding stance.

That's right, at this moment, Ditto's mind was filled with the image of Rocco wielding his sword to slay Noivern on the Ghost Ship!

Therefore, this sword strike will be very powerful!

Bai Youyou was stunned by what she saw.

What is this?

Before she could even process what was happening, her command was already out.

"Hold on!"

Following her command, Chandelure, who was also somewhat stunned, quickly distanced itself from Ditto while holding onto its defensive move!

This scene relieved Bai Youyou.

Because this Crystal Chandelier Spirit is an attacker, it is much stronger than the Flame Queen Lizard, which is responsible for creating the spirit mist.

If it can withstand the attack, even if the power of this strike is comparable to the previous dozen or so slashes, the Crystal Lamp Spirit should be able to block it. Let's see how this attack goes.

That's what Bai Youyou thought, but...

This is a Z-Move that can't be completely blocked!

Not to mention that the power of this attack far exceeded those slashes that attacked the Flame Queen Lizard before!

bass--

Ditto mimicked Rocco's sword strike, and the intense conviction made the dual scabbards feel as if their blades had become even sharper.

A terrifying, black, chaotic slash flew close to the ground and arrived in front of the Crystal Lamp Spirit in an instant!

Snapped!

Under the Z-Move, Protect shattered on the spot, and the terrifying power struck Chandelure head-on, causing it to lose its ability to fight as it was pushed away.

The sheer power unleashed by Ditto and its dual blades left even Bai Youyou, a Ghost-type Elite Four member, speechless.

Tian Sui breathed a huge sigh of relief.

After the Z-Move was successfully executed, one of the released wisps of power burrowed into a Poké Ball on Rocco's waist and into the interior of the black crystal!

During this time, Rocco experimented with Z-Moves, and this one, although it was still a drop in the ocean for the Black Crystal, revived a wisp of consciousness that Rocco had briefly awakened before.

Although this was still a stretch, leaving its wisp of consciousness in a particularly bad state, this extremely poor state effectively prevented it from being driven by overly strong instincts and doing things out of control.

This wisp of consciousness stared intently through the Poké Ball at Roko, who was bathed in light, and secretly made a decision.

It needs to find an opportunity to talk to this human!

......

15. Now the roles of offense and defense have reversed.

"What kind of ultimate move is this?"

Bai Youyou lost, and not because she judged the challenger's strength to be roughly equal as the dojo master and thus let him win, but because she was overpowered head-on while still hoping to win...

Such an event had occurred no more than five times in Bai Youyou's career as a dojo master, so each time her feelings were somewhat complicated.

Even in this mood, she subconsciously asked this question when she handed the badge to Rocco.

However, she felt it was inappropriate as soon as she opened her mouth, and was about to laugh it off to change the subject when Luo Ke had already given her the answer.

"This is a Z-Move, and it's also the true use of the Z Crystal."

"I see you also equipped the Windball with the Chaos Crystal, so you must have watched the professor's press conference, right? He mentioned the Z Crystal, and the Z-Moves are the best application that the Z Crystal can currently achieve."

Upon hearing Luo Ke's words, Bai Youyou's eyes widened in surprise.

She had considered many possibilities, but without exception, she had treated the Z-Move as a normal special move. She thought about how difficult it would be to train and how its use would be limited—she never imagined it was a special move amplified by carrying a power-up item!

In that case...

"Roco, do you mean that anyone can use this Z-Move as long as they have the corresponding item?"

Seeing Bai Youyou's expression, Luo Ke shook his head slightly. Then, just as she realized she was overthinking things, Luo Ke smiled and gave an even more exaggerated answer.

"Z-Crystals need to be installed on the Z-Bracelet, so strictly speaking, items that don't lock Pokémon are carried by the Trainer."

"Although doing this also consumes the trainer's energy, and can only be used once per battle, this time it is something that anyone can use."

"It's just that the power of Z-Moves varies depending on the Pokémon's strength."

"If this were in a game, it would be one of those ultimate moves."

Tian Sui had come over earlier, but she didn't say anything when she saw Luo Ke's introduction; she just stood aside.

They're just here to generate buzz; this is more of an advertising slogan than an introduction.

Bai Youyou was completely stunned after hearing this.

This Z-Move was actually even more outrageous than she had imagined. Just the fact that it didn't lock items made Bai Youyou think of equipping Pokémon with items that could boost the power of moves to complement the use of Z-Moves.

Furthermore, the fact that the power level is affected by the Pokémon's strength cannot be considered a drawback.

It should be considered an advantage!

After all, if this amplification effect could be applied to Elite Four and Champion level Pokémon simultaneously, how terrifying would that be!

But while she was surprised, Bai Youyou also realized what was happening and looked directly at Tian Sui.

"So your previous plan was to show me Z-Moves... Is this your new creation?"

She had great faith in Tian Sui's abilities.

The title of genius is definitely not just empty boasting.

Luo Ke didn't say anything about this, after all, the Z bracelet was indeed developed by Tian Sui, and he didn't have the ability to develop it.

But Tian Sui didn't think so. She shook her head at Bai Youyou's words and then walked to Luo Ke's side.

"Old woman, you've guessed wrong. Although I did contribute, the ideas, the products, and even the key issues were all solved by Luo Ke. So if we have to say, it can be considered a joint effort. If we're only going to credit one person, it should be Luo Ke, not me."

That's what Tian Sui thinks.

After all, a large part of the development data for the Z bracelet was brought by Luo Ke. If it weren't for Luo Ke, who knows how long it would have taken her to find the key to the problem during that dance.
