My Name of the Spirit Lucario

Zoroark's appearance is very similar to the fox in nature.

These canines all have similar characteristics: "copper head, iron tail, tofu waist". This means that the head is very hard, the tail is also quite strong, but the waist between the two is very fragile. After all, unlike other creatures with shells to protect their bodies, the waist where a large number of important internal organs are gathered is naturally vulnerable to damage.

Even though Zoroark was a spirit and much stronger than animals in nature, he was still in so much pain from the continuous tail swings from the marsupial that he had to stop performing his moves and retreat while holding his waist.

"Soso!"

Asuka clenched her fists. She knew that her move was wrong: she underestimated the resistance of the marsupial to malicious erosion and its willpower. The consequence of the miscalculation was that the marsupial resisted Zoroark's malicious wave and successfully launched a double attack. Even the continuous tail swing attack hit Zoroark's weak spot.

If there was a game-like HP bar display, you could see that Zoroark's HP was directly cut by more than half. For an agile Pokémon that was not known for its HP, this was not good news.

"what can we do about it?"

For a moment, Asuka felt a little bit troubled.

Because she realized once again that she had made more than just one mistake.

All along, the tactics that Asuka Teru had trained with Zoroark or Zoroark were all based on Zoroark's (Zoroastrian's) special talent for switching forms: the Phantom Form of the Dark Attribute, and the Wraith Form of the Ghost Attribute. These two forms, one real and one virtual, were enough to make Zoroark's offensive routines varied and difficult to predict.

But now the problem comes. Facing the Normal-type Pokémon on the opposite side, since the Normal-type attributes have a complete resistance to the Ghost-type attributes, Zoroark cannot switch to the Wraith form. To be precise, it is useless to switch. This means that Zoroark can only use the pure Dark-type form to fight the enemy.

And being able to fight in only one form was something Asuka never expected.

In this scenario where the tactics and strategy were cut in half, Zoroark could only rely on the endless malice to fight. But the evil attribute has a characteristic, that is, as time goes by, the effect of malice will become worse and worse, especially for those elves with strong wills. After withstanding the fear of the first contact with malice, they will develop resistance to it, and even be able to ignore it.

In addition, the Marmoset has a strong defense and a robust physique. Therefore, even if Zoroark tried every means, he could not avoid the unfavorable factors: it suffered a heavy blow at the beginning, its dual-attribute form was restricted, its malice was no longer effective, and it had no powerful attack moves. With the accumulation of such disadvantages, defeat became an unchangeable outcome.

"It's all my fault... Come back and have a good rest, Soso."

Asuhi Teru took back the Zoroark who couldn't hold on any longer.

Of course, she would not feel frustrated because of such a failure. On the contrary, it was because of this failure that Asuka became more aware of the problems in her training plan for Zoroark, and gave her ideas on how to improve it in the future.

No wonder Qianli looked at the girl's thoughtful expression with approval.

In fact, this is the most fundamental purpose of Pokémon Gyms and Gym Challenges, which is to allow trainers to discover their own shortcomings in battles, and then find ways to correct them, so as to move to a higher level.

Unlike some trainers who, when they find that their Pokémon cannot beat the opponent, do not think about whether there are any shortcomings in their tactics or the training of the Pokémon. Instead, they abandon the Pokémon that has been with them for a long time and turn to conquer or buy so-called "more powerful" Pokémon.

Although many trainers will sneer at and react with disgust to the above practices, the pace of today's era is getting faster and faster, and people will only climb up by any means necessary, and the "slow pace" of carefully cultivating their own Pokémon will naturally be left behind and not considered.

For old-school Pokémon trainers like Qianli, this approach of pursuing quick results is both despicable and disgusting, but there is nothing they can do about it.

Having gone too far, let’s return to the battle.

After the two battles, both of them had one win and one loss. In this challenge match where only three Pokémon were agreed to be sent out, Chisato could only send out Biceps and Leave King, but Asuka Teru had only the one and only option of sending out Gardevoir to fight.

"Basketbeast, come back."

Unexpectedly, Qianli did not let the marsupial continue fighting, but let it go back to the sidelines to rest.

"Mr. Qianli, this is..."

Asuhi Teru asked doubtfully.

Faced with the girl's question, Qianli's serious face finally showed a slight smile.

"This is a little treat for the little savior of Yinye City."

Although a fierce battle had taken place, in fact, in the battle between Biceps and Zoroark, the former suffered more mental attacks, and did not suffer too much loss of physical strength and energy. Theoretically, Chisato could continue to let Biceps fight, so even if it might not be able to defeat Asuka's Gardevoir, it would at least be enough to cause considerable consumption to Gardevoir. In this way, when facing Chisato's ace Pokémon, the King of Leave, the winning rate would be quite low.

But Qianli chose to let the King of Leave have a decisive battle with the Gardevoir in good condition.

First, as he said, Asumi-sama had defeated Regis Chilu and saved Yinye City, so he should be given some preferential treatment. Second, neither he nor the King of Leave would bother to do something like a round-robin battle.

Only when it is upright and fair can it be called a real battle.

"king……"

The King of Leave, who had been lying on the sidelines to rest, stood up lazily and slowly walked onto the battlefield.

According to the records in the Elf Encyclopedia, the height of a general Leave King is about two meters. Although Qianli's Leave King is not his strongest trump card, it can be seen that it has been carefully cultivated. Its height is close to two meters six to two meters seven. Although this number is not very impressive compared with those behemoths that are five or ten meters long, but with the overly developed muscles and broad body, Ming Ri Zhao only felt that his eyes went dark, as if a huge wall was blocking him.

Compared to Gardevoir, who has a slender waist like a young girl, they are like two extremes.

If I were to use a famous painting to introduce it, it would be this.

"Beauty and the Beast".

……

Leo discovered a new function of the light screen, which is that he can open two interfaces at the same time to view the data of both sides.

And this sight made him frown.

"Why is this leave-taking king so weird???"
