I caught a Pokémon

"Come on, don't give me that." Melissa wasn't buying it at all, and glared at him fiercely. "If it had been one of those traveling trainers instead of me, your Chimchar would have been defeated long ago. You call that an absolute power difference?"

Xia You chuckled, taking the words as a compliment.

He certainly understood how Melissa felt at that moment.

In fact, Xia You had seen that expression on her face far too many times before.

But every time he sees it, he enjoys it and feels a strong sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

Xia You slowly put the Poké Ball back into her waist bag and took out the last Poké Ball.

wrong…

It should be said that, in addition to the Pokémon in this Poké Ball, he also had an Umbreon that was running out of stamina and seemed unable to fight anymore.

From this perspective, it seems that there is still a possibility of things going wrong in the dojo today.

But clearly, Xia You wasn't worried at all.

Leaving aside the fact that Melissa's ace Pokémon, Dusknoir, has basically revealed all its trump cards and all its physical abilities, just considering the Pokémon she has left, none of them are much stronger than Chimchar.

Although I don't want to raise the flag, the advantage is indeed in my hands!

With that thought in mind, he opened the Poké Ball, revealing the final mystery.

And his final choice was none other than his frog!

Xiaoyao was not surprised at all by this choice.

After all, she knew that among the Pokémon Xia You currently carried, Tyranitar, Milotic, and Metagross were already strong enough, and apart from regular training, they would only be used when encountering major tournaments.

Xia You's newly captured Pokémon are nothing more than Froakie, Riolu, Chimchar, and Snorlax, plus Umbreon, which just evolved recently. So no matter what she chooses, she will only be among these five Pokémon.

It's simply a matter of who gets sent out in what kind of situation.

Therefore, she had anticipated the appearance of the frog.

Now that I see it, it's indeed true!

Hehe, I didn't realize I knew Xia You so well!

While she was thinking about this wonderful thing, Melissa, in the Trainer Command Area on the other side, was clearly a little surprised to see this non-Sinnoh Pokémon.

"It's Froakie." With her experience and being a Gym Leader, Melissa clearly knew more about Pokémon from other regions than the others, but she still asked curiously, "That's rare in Sinnoh. Did you get it from another region? Or did you trade it with someone?"

"I don't really like trading Pokémon with others, but I'll have to consider it if it's with friends or family."

Hearing him say that, Melissa already understood that he had caught the frog in another region.

This also corresponds to what I had in mind.

Sure enough, someone this strong couldn't have appeared out of thin air; he must have traveled to other regions before!

No wonder he's so amazing!

With her doubts confirmed, she stopped paying attention to the matter and instead focused her attention on the upcoming battle.

Before the battle began, looking at this unfamiliar Pokémon, Baris and Shoko instinctively glanced at May.

Paris asked, "May, what kind of Pokémon is this? It's not from the Sinnoh region, is it?"

“It’s Froakie.” May turned to her and smiled. “It’s a water-type Pokémon that’s very common in ponds and rivers in the Kalos region.”

After listening to her explanation, the two gained a general understanding of the frog.

Even in terms of height, Froghead wasn't much taller than the little Flame Monkey from before, and the difference between it and Night Demon was still obvious, which made them a little worried.

Can we beat them?

However, thinking about how well the little chimpanzee had performed before, they suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.

Regardless of what everyone was thinking, with the two Pokémon standing still, the battle that could determine the final victor had begun!

Chapter 1079 The Frog's Little Tricks

Perhaps because of the outstanding performance of Chimchar in the previous battle, Melissa was too impressed. This time, facing Froakie, a Pokémon that seemed significantly stronger, she couldn't help but be on her guard.

Who knows if this will be another tough battle!

Therefore, she acted almost simultaneously with Xia You, and also commanded the Night Demon to launch an attack.

Once she made her move, she went all out, as if she wanted to nip the frog in the bud before it could even warm up.

This also shows that she really didn't want to experience that painful, mentally and physically exhausting battle again, and wanted to finish the battle quickly and defeat her opponent at the beginning!

Unfortunately, through the observation in the previous match, Xia You had already figured out most of the Night Demon's abilities. In addition, the Frog had just entered the arena and was full of vigor. It was not so easy to suppress it.

With this information, he could better handle the battle.

However, seeing that the Night Demon wanted to engage in close combat, he still chose to send the Frog to meet it.

What Melissa didn't expect was that Froakie's close-combat tactics were quite different from other Pokémon.

With a hand seal, the frog split into several clones.

With its exceptional jumping ability and impressive speed, the frog unleashed its full potential as soon as the fight began. Its main body and clones moved and jumped simultaneously, creating countless afterimages around the Night Demon Spirit as it dodged and weaved!

Whoosh whoosh!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh! !

Centered on the Night Demon, the Frog resembles a ninja, its shadow rising, landing, leaping, and landing again, displaying its agility. In the blink of an eye, countless afterimages flashed past the Night Demon's surroundings and overhead, dazzling the onlookers.

what! ?

Upon seeing this, both Paris and Xi Ke's eyes widened in surprise.

This was the first time they had ever seen such an amazing way of fighting.

This cool-looking bright blue frog can jump so high and so fast!?

Regardless of the tactical purpose behind this, the visual effect alone was enough to astound the two women who rarely watch Pokémon battles.

This is not finished.

As these shadows intertwined with the Night Demon's body, a pair of frog paws brimming with water-based energy slapped at the Night Demon from all directions.

These frog paws are obviously not all real, but the interplay of reality and illusion makes it impossible to distinguish between them, making them impossible to guard against.

They tried to defend against the one in front, but ended up defending against a fake one.

Despite trying to defend against those behind, they still missed.

The speed is too fast; it's impossible to predict.

Fortunately, the Night Demon was indeed tough enough, and although it was extremely annoying, it could still hold on for the time being.

However, this could become dangerous if it continues in the long run.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to find the original body.

Melissa, like her Night Demon, is carefully trying to distinguish which one is the real one.

But after looking at it for a long time, until my eyes were blurry, I still had no clue.

While experienced trainers can indeed distinguish between the real and the fake through subtle clues, they also need the opportunity to do so!

Now these shadows are almost just afterimages in front of her, how can she distinguish them?

Left with no other option, she ordered the Night Demon to unleash an area-of-effect attack in an attempt to dispel all the illusions around her.

Little did Xia You know, this was the opportunity she had been waiting for!

Just before the Night Demon Spirit could unleash its attack, he shouted, and the frogs that received his command turned around suddenly, along with their clones, and charged towards the Night Demon Spirit!

Such a distance is covered in the blink of an eye.

Melissa raised an eyebrow at the frog's sudden change of tactics, wondering what this man was up to.

Under her watchful gaze, the Night Demon used the Night Shadow technique. In an instant, a stream of ghostly energy erupted from its raised palm. As its palm turned, the shadows of the frogs shattered wherever the energy reached.

But almost at the same time, the frog head also arrived.

Just as the Night Demon was about to strike its main body, it reached around its neck with its frog claws, grabbed a handful of foam, and threw it forward like mud. With a 'smack,' it landed precisely on the Night Demon's single red eye!

At the same time, it formed hand seals again, and the instant the Night Demon touched its body, it used a substitute to teleport to a safe position on the other side before the Night Demon could cause any damage.

This was completely unexpected by Melissa.

She knew about froghead frogs and had a general idea of ​​their characteristics, but that was all.

In reality, this was her first time battling such a Pokémon, let alone witnessing Froakie using the bubbles on its body to fight.

She originally thought it was just decoration!

With its vision blocked, the Night Demon Spirit naturally panicked. The Night Demon Shadow, which it had only half-cast, instantly vanished, and its two enormous hands clumsily rubbed towards its eyes.

Even if it's a Ghost-type Pokémon, having its vision blocked still has a huge impact. If it's not removed as soon as possible, it simply won't be able to continue fighting.

But at that very moment, the frog's follow-up attack arrived.

This made Melissa anxious, and she quickly called out.

"Night Demon, at your 10 o'clock position! Use Lightning Fist!!"

Upon hearing Melissa's command, the Shadow of the Night could only wipe away the foam with his left hand, while his right hand, with its blurred vision, could only gather power and, amidst a surge of electricity, fiercely swung towards the 10 o'clock position!

It has to be said that compared to the previous Chimchar, both its fighting methods and Froakie's strength are completely different.

At the beginning of the battle, Melissa thought it would be the same as the previous one, but now she realized that the two battles were completely different.

In the face of the Night Demon's attack, the Frog once again demonstrated its extreme jumping ability.

As it rose high into the air, it immediately clenched its right claw into a fist, a fist imbued with water-based power, and slammed down fiercely towards the face of the Night Demon.

ended.

Seeing this, Xia You lowered her eyelids.

The frog's attack was not enough to defeat the Night Demon; at most, it would only cause some damage. However, this did not affect the outcome.

There's no way to break the frog's pattern; continuing this battle won't change anything.

It's simply a matter of how long the Night Demon can hold out, relying on its massive body.

boom!

The frog's body missed the Night Demon's fist, while its own frog fist, entangled in the water, slammed into the Night Demon's head.

With a loud thud, the Night Demon's massive body swayed involuntarily.

Chapter 1080 Relic Badge

The Night Demon couldn't hold out for long.

Even after it regained its sight and, under Melissa's command, began to attempt a counterattack, it eventually succumbed to exhaustion and collapsed on the battlefield due to the frog's relentless attacks and its significantly superior speed.

It can be said that the situation in this match was completely opposite to that of the previous one.

In the last match, Chimchar fought with all his might, trying to find that sliver of a chance to win. In this match, it was Nightshade's turn.

It's true what they say, fortunes really do change.

This is how the different strengths of Pokémon lead to different fates.

Although the time difference between catching Froakie and Chimchar wasn't that much, this time difference and the order in which they were caught still created a significant gap in their strength.

But it doesn't matter, the little chimpanzee will catch up sooner or later anyway.

By this time, Melissa had recovered from her initial shock.

Although she had anticipated her failure, it still left her feeling a pang of sadness when it actually happened.

I'm a little unwilling...

She shook her head, retrieved the unconscious Night Demon, and then looked up at Xia You.

"That's really impressive. Just like your Umbreon before, your Froakie is also excellent. I'm no match for it at all."

If Melissa were ten or twenty years younger, and could become a young person again, she would never have given up so easily, but now…

She really didn't want to fight this type of trainer.

It wasn't fun at all; I felt restricted and constrained. I'd better finish this quickly.
