Pokémon, Inkaros, my starter Pokémon

"Gallade, prepare for battle."

A flash of white light appeared, and a tall and slender figure appeared in the arena, like an elegant knight. His head was covered with horn-like protrusions, and his arms had sharp, blade-like fins on the outside, which gleamed with a cold light in the sunlight.

With sharp eyes, he exudes a unique aura that combines the mystery of superpowers with the sharpness of fighting skills.

"It's Gallade! Sabrina's Pokémon is a 'Blade Pokémon' with both Psychic and Fighting types!"

The host immediately introduced it loudly.

Gallade, known as the Warrior, is a Pokémon that highly values ​​etiquette. It can keenly sense requests for help and will rush to the aid of those seeking assistance. When protecting someone, it will extend its elbow, making it as sharp as a blade, and engage in fierce battle. Because of its ability to keenly perceive its opponent's thoughts, it can strike first.

He is a warrior who has honed both his mind and body to the extreme!

"Gallade, it's Gallade!!!"

A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience. Gallade's handsome appearance and powerful strength made it extremely popular.

"Gallade versus Gager, the match continues!"

The referee waved the flag.

Sabrina didn't hesitate at all, "Gallade, use Leaf Blade!"

"Elu!"

Gallade's arms instantly unleashed a dazzling emerald green light from their blades, and it shot out like lightning!

"Gager, use your last bit of strength, use Gravity Punch!"

"Add more!"

Despite his exhaustion, Gager once again gathered a heavy amount of fighting energy in his right fist. Although his speed was significantly slower than Gallade's, this counterattack contained twice the terrifying power.

Two figures, one as swift as a green lightning bolt and the other as heavy as a crimson hammer, rapidly approached each other in the arena, about to collide with a deafening roar!

At this critical moment...

Gallade has vanished!

It's teleportation!!!

Gager slammed his fist with all his might into empty air, the immense force shaking the ground, but it was all in vain.

With his old strength exhausted and new strength yet to be generated, Gager even experienced a moment of stiffness due to excessive force.

The next moment, Gallade appeared silently above Gagarr like a ghost.

Gallade's eyes were icy cold, and the emerald green blades on its arms were like the Grim Reaper's scythe, tearing through the air with a sharp shriek, as it mercilessly slashed down at Gagar, who was unable to dodge due to exhaustion and stiffness!

P.S.: I'm going to visit my adorable friend today, so there will only be two updates for now, totaling 8,000 words. Here they are!

If I get back early and still have the energy, I'll update another chapter. If not, that's all for today. I'll continue with 10,000 words a day tomorrow!

This match has concluded and the fifth super popular Pokémon has arrived!

Chapter 77 Henan teaches you what a true absolute defense spirit is!

"Ailu—!!!"

"Add...gie..."

The emerald green light flashed and disappeared in an instant.

Before Gager could even put up an effective resistance, his body was struck hard by the blade, and his last bit of strength was completely drained away. His eyes dimmed, and he collapsed heavily to the ground, losing his ability to fight.

"Gargor is incapacitated!" the referee announced immediately.

"The mighty Gagar has fallen! Sabrina's Gallade, with its exquisite Instant Transmission and powerful Leaf Blade, easily reaped the victory!" The host loudly summarized the outcome of the previous round, and continued, "The Gym Leader of Time Fighting took the first game but was quickly tied back. Now both sides are back to the same starting line."

The audience was abuzz with discussion, some marveling at Gallade's immense power, others encouraging Tokito.

"Go, Mr. Tokito! You still have two Pokémon!" Ash shouted, clenching his fist. Pikachu chirped "Pika Pika" on his shoulder, cheering him on.

Meanwhile, Raiji and Shinji, who were watching the match live on television, remained full of confidence.

This is just the beginning. Sabrina is indeed very strong, but Tokito hasn't even used those two really troublesome guys yet..."

For a moment, Lei Si recalled the feeling of being dominated, and thus was filled with anticipation for what was to come.

In the Rainbow Arena, Shidou calmly recalled Gagar, offered a soft word of comfort, and then threw out the second Pokémon Capsule without any hesitation.

"Cain, it's your turn!"

The Pokémon capsule opened, and shadow energy spread out like ink. The shadowy Pokémon silently floated in mid-air, its sapphire-like eyes appearing and disappearing in the shadows, exuding an eerie and unpredictable aura.

"Another Pokémon we've never seen before! The Gym Leader has given us so many surprises today! What kind of power does this seemingly Ghost-type Pokémon possess?"

When Cain appeared, the host exclaimed in surprise again.

The audience cast curious and puzzled glances, and discussions arose one after another.

Sabrina tilted her head slightly, using her psychic abilities to sense Cain's energy type, and made a judgment: "Is it a Ghost-type Pokémon...? It seems he's planning to use type advantage."

Although Cain is not a Ghost-type Pokémon in the Pokémon world, Sabrina's judgment is correct. In both Pokémon and the Ark of Naga World's type system, Ghost and Shadow-type moves do have a significant advantage over Psychic-type moves.

"Gallade, don't give it a chance, use Leaf Blade."

As soon as the battle began, Sabrina prepared to seize the initiative.

"Elu!"

Gallade moved swiftly, charging towards Cain like an arrow released from a bow. The blades on its arms once again gleamed with a cold, emerald light, but instead of charging in a straight line, it swayed as it ran...

Teleport!

The next moment, Gallade appeared diagonally above Cain. Taking advantage of its descent, the blade, with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, was as fast as a green lightning bolt and slashed down at the seemingly unprepared Cain!

"It's here! Gallade's signature teleportation close-range attack!" the host shouted excitedly.

Seeing that the sharp blade was about to cleave Cain in two, many viewers became even more excited!

However, just as the blade was about to touch Cain's body...

"Om-"

A deep, dark, oval-shaped shadow shield unfolded without warning before the figure could become invisible. Dark purple energy ripples flowed across the surface of the shield, radiating an aura of indestructibility.

"Bang Dang——!!!"

The emerald green blades slashed fiercely at the shadow shield, but instead of the sound of a sharp blade cutting into flesh, they produced a deafening metallic roar, like a heavy hammer striking a giant bell!

The shock wave generated by the energy collision spreads out in a ring shape.

However, the seemingly thin shadow shield remained completely unmoved. Gallade's determined attack, aside from the loud bang, failed to budge it in the slightest!

"Ailu?!"

For the first time, Gallade's eyes showed astonishment. It felt as if its blades had struck the hardest alloy in the world, and the force of the recoil made its arm go numb.

Host: "Oh?? Unbelievable!!! Gallade's incredibly fast and deadly attack was completely blocked by this mysterious shield! It's completely unharmed! Its defensive power is amazing!"

The whole place was in an uproar!

Everyone was stunned by this scene of absolute defense. Sabrina's pupils contracted slightly, and a look of solemnity flashed across her face. This unknown Pokémon was more troublesome than she had expected.

"It's here! It's Mr. Toki's Shadow Shield!" Ash excitedly pointed at the field and said to his companions, "When we were battling that high-ranking Team Rocket executive at the Pokémon Tower, it was this move that made Cain make a huge contribution."

Xiao Gang nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, that kind of defensive power that can isolate everything left a very deep impression on me."

Ash and his friends were present on the San Ann and during the Pokémon Tower incident, and witnessed Cain's greatness firsthand.

In the Jade Rainbow Arena, Sabrina's cool gaze was fixed on the deep shield, her superhuman speed of thought quickly analyzing the situation.

Completely immune to one attack...

That's probably a 'protection' skill?

If that's the case, then it makes sense.

However, while the "protection" is powerful, it is well known that the success rate drops sharply with continuous use.

Thinking of this, Sabrina immediately made a decision and continued to command, "Gallade, create distance and use Psychic Blade!"

"Elu!"

Gallade leaped backward, creating some distance between itself and the hovering Cain. Then, it crossed its arms in front of its chest, and its powerful psychic energy rapidly coalesced into several physical energy blades that shimmered with pink light and had extremely sharp edges!

“Swoosh—swoosh—swoosh—!”

The psychic blades tore through the air, shrieking as they shot toward Cain from different angles. This attack combined the unpredictability of the Psychic type with the ferocity of the Fighting type, making it far more powerful than ordinary psychic attacks.

Faced with this relentless attack, Shi Dou remained steadfast:

"Cain, Shadow Shield!"

"Humph!"

Nazi scoffed inwardly. In her opinion, the other party was being rather presumptuous to gamble on the drastically reduced success rate of "protection".

However, the next second...

"Om-"

That familiar, dark, oval shield instantly unfolded around Cain once again...

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several mental blades struck the shadow shield in succession, unleashing bursts of energy ripples, but were ultimately annihilated, failing to penetrate the shield even slightly!

"?!"

For the first time, a clear look of surprise appeared on Naz's usually expressionless face.

Another success?

Given that the "protection" had already been used once, the success rate of the second use should have been significantly reduced, yet the other party succeeded again?

This roughly 50% probability was triggered repeatedly so easily?

Sabrina clicked her tongue slightly, feeling a bit of a headache, but the battle rhythm couldn't be broken, so she continued to command: "In that case, Gallade, use a sneak attack on vital points! Break through with speed!"

"Elu!"

Gallade's eyes flashed, and its figure blurred like a ghost once more. In an instant, it burst out with astonishing speed, circled around to a tricky angle, and Dark-type black energy wrapped around its arm blades. With an aura that was sure to hit a vital point, it slashed fiercely at Cain behind the shield at a speed that was hard to detect with the naked eye!

This strike was swift, accurate, and ruthless!

however……

"Bang Dang——!!!"

The despairing shadow shield, like the Wailing Wall of the Third Being, lit up precisely on time. The pitch-black evil energy struck the shield, but it only produced a muffled thud and failed to shake it in the slightest!

"What?! It blocked it again!!! Mr. Tokito's Cain used 'Protect' for the third time, and it succeeded every time, completely immune to Gallade's fierce attacks three times in a row! Is...is this legal?!"

The host's voice was already tinged with shock.

The host naturally assumed this was a "protective" skill, but his common sense was severely challenged.

The probability of successfully using the "protection" skill three times in a row is outrageously low, it's like challenging the basic rules of combat!

The entire audience was stunned, and a wave of discussion arose.

Three consecutive protections? What incredible luck!

"That doesn't make sense, isn't it difficult to use protection continuously?"

"Could that Pokémon's ability be Infinite Protect?"

Sabrina's brows furrowed tightly. Three consecutive absolute defenses were beyond the scope of what could be explained by "luck".

She gazed at Cain, who remained calmly suspended in the arena under the protection of a shield, and at the mysteriously smiling trainer, Shidou, behind him.

This guy's Pokémon are indeed strange in every way.

Naz considered the possibility of this happening.

As for the infinite protection feature that viewers complained about?

That's absolutely impossible.

Naz immediately dismissed this absurd idea.
