My Name of the Spirit Lucario

Perhaps it was because Eevee's fall angered Zoroark, or perhaps Zoroark thought it was his responsibility that he failed to defeat Blastoise, so this evil little fox actually took the initiative to request to fight.

Originally, he wanted to let Zoroark deal with the red psychic-type Pokémon Alakazam, but Asuka changed his mind and thought that if he forcibly suppressed the fighting spirit of his Pokémon, it might make it lose the will to fight. Anyway, whether it is Gardevoir or Ogre, they can achieve good results against psychic-type Pokémon, so he followed Zoroark's wishes and sent them out.

Blastoise, no longer having to wait for its telekinesis to take effect, finally displayed a fighting style that matched its domineering body shape. It changed its previous defensive posture and became more vigorous and open with each of its moves.

First, [Pray for Rain] was used to make it rain on the battlefield. With abundant water energy, both [Water Wave] and [Surf] became extremely powerful.

Zoroark could only rely on his faster speed than Blastoise to keep swimming and dodging the opponent's attacks. When there was an occasional flaw, he would launch a [Sneak Attack] in an attempt to cause damage.

But Blastoise is indeed an expert in defense. Even in the midst of a frenzied attack, it still retains a lot of energy for defense.

For a moment, even though Zoroark's attack was sharp, he was unable to do anything to the Blastoise's impregnable defense.

The two elves were in a stalemate.

But even rookie trainers know that if you stay passive for too long, you will eventually fail.

Gradually, the depletion of physical strength made Zoroark's movements become slow. He could only dodge part of many moves that he should have avoided, and had to take the rest of the attacks with his weak body.

"Swish", a surging [surf] wave rolled over, and Zoroark, who only had time to dodge half of his body, was knocked to the ground by the strong force of the water.

"Cough cough."

Zoroark coughed a few times, and despite the pain in his shoulder, he struggled to stand up.

“Soso…”

Asu Teru looked worriedly at the stubborn back in front of her, this was not the first time that Zoroark was hit, and the girl wanted to replace him, but every time, Zoroark would whisper to her.

"(Elf) Don't be impatient, wait a little longer."

wait? What are you waiting for?

It is not clear what Zoroark is waiting for, but Asuka chooses to trust his own elf.

[Shadow Claw], [Wave of Evil], [Scratching], [Dark Blast] and other moves were used one after another by Zoroark. Even though he knew that they could not cause much damage to Blastoise, even if there was only a little effect left, it was better than doing nothing.

The rainfall effect caused by [Pray for Rain] is about to come to an end.

The Blastoise couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

He knew that in order to defeat this opponent who chose to stand up stubbornly no matter how many times he was knocked down, he needed to increase his existing attack power again to become the last straw that broke the camel's back.

After taking a look at its trainer and getting Red's nod of approval, Blastoise stopped all attacks and retracted itself into its shell.

But this time, it's not for passive defense.

"Use the move, [Shell Break]."

After accumulating enough energy in its shell, the Blastoise suddenly stretched out its head and limbs.

The raindrops falling from the sky moisturized his skin, and the abundant water energy in the air formed the illusion of huge waves behind Blastoise.

[Break Shell] greatly increases the user's attack power and speed, but will correspondingly reduce defense capabilities.

This was the last straw that Blastoise was planning to break. As for the reduced defense, he was confident that with Zoroark now in a state close to exhaustion, even if he attacked him with all his strength, he might not be able to cause enough damage to turn the tide of the battle.

What's more, this requires Zoroark to be able to withstand his strongest attack.

“【Water Cannon】!”

Perhaps out of safety or out of confidence, Blastoise didn't even use his strongest water move, [Water Cannon], because that move would also use up all his energy, causing him to be out of energy for a while. He believed that the next most powerful move, [Water Cannon], with so many blessings, would be enough to completely knock Zoroark down.

All the falling raindrops were sucked into the barrel by Blastoise, and the amplification brought by [Shell Breaking] was also making the energy brewing at the barrel mouth expand more and more.

Facing the deadly bombardment, Zoroark showed no fear as usual. Instead, he grinned with an expression that looked like a smile.

"(Elf language) You know what? Elves like me are best at deception."

He suddenly said to Blastoise.

"(Elf) And now, I've finally waited for you to use your most powerful move... Come on, don't hesitate, just knock me down!"

Zoroark opened his arms, seemingly giving up all defense.

Blastoise didn't know what Zoroark meant by this, but that didn't stop him from violently spraying out the surging water cannon that was about to fire.

"Boom", two extremely thick streams of water exploded through the air and hit Zoroark.

"Soso, [Hold on]."

At the critical moment, Asuhi Teru shouted.

Thanks to the [Hold On] move, Zoroark was able to hold on through the bombardment that could have easily defeated him, relying on his amazing willpower.

But from his shaky posture, it was clear that he would fall down with just the slightest touch from his opponent.

Blastoise shook his head and was about to step forward with his fist to knock Zoroark down when suddenly, the latter repeated what he had just said.

"(Elf) I've already told you, what I'm best at is fraud!"

With alarm bells ringing in his heart, Blastoise immediately [retracted into his shell] without thinking to improve his defense.

However, Zoroark stretched out his claws and hooked it.

"【provocative】."

Somehow, the angry Blastoise gave up its defense, and ice condensed on its fists and launched an [Ice Fist] at him.

At this time, Asuhi Teru and Zoroark, who were in telepathic communication, whispered in human and elven language respectively.

“【Fraud】!”

In a trance, a blurry figure appeared behind Zoroark. The figure had a similar body shape to Blastoise, and even the two protruding cannon barrels were exactly the same.

Equally similar is the energy ball gathered at the muzzle of the gun.

It turned out to be a replica of Blastoise's super-powerful attack just now!

Blastoise could have gone into a defensive state to defend against this attack, but under Zoroark's [Provocation], it launched an attack in rage.

……

The Dark Move [Deception] is to use the opponent's strength to attack the opponent in return. The stronger the opponent's attack power, the greater the damage caused by the counterattack.

[Rainfall] and [Shell Breaking], a weather move plus a powerful auxiliary move, increase the attack power of Blastoise to an extremely high level.

It’s a pity that the attack power that should have been used against the enemy has become the sharpest knife that hurts oneself.

What's worse is that while the [Shell Break] move increases the attack power, it also reduces the user's defense.

With a loud roar, the defenseless Blastoise was knocked to the ground.

At the same time, seeing his opponent fall, Zoroark could no longer hold on, his eyes turned black, and he fainted.

Both elves lost their ability to fight at the same time.

"Clap, clap, clap", Chihong actually started clapping.

"Interesting tactic. You use your opponent's power enhancement to become your own weapon. Also, your elf is very tenacious."

Knowing that he could get the praise from the best person in the world, Zoroark probably wouldn't have to feel inferior about his lack of strength anymore.

……

A new battle started again. However, even though Zoroark tried his best to defeat Blastoise, Asuka was still at a disadvantage in the battle.
